"Didn't those things behind you catch up with us?" Chu Zihang asked Chu Tianjiao.

"I don't know. We could hear shouting and the rustling of leaves behind us, but no one looked back. The crew members were terrified and everyone was running for their lives." Chu Tianjiao said, "They probably haven't been so tired in their lives, but I swear they have never run so fast in their lives. In that state, they can easily win the championship whether they participate in a world-class marathon championship or a track and field sprint competition."

"How do you determine the direction of escape?" Chu Zihang asked again.

"There's no way to be sure. Everyone was just trying to escape. At first, they were running away from the tree and the 'cocoon', and then they were chased by the roaring sounds behind them." Chu Tianjiao said, "It wasn't until I couldn't maintain the 'time zero' field that I came to my senses. We had already entered a fog, and the roaring and chasing sounds behind us disappeared at some point, just like the fog we encountered when we first entered the Nibelung. We couldn't see clearly in all directions, and those strange gray-white plants disappeared, as if we had unknowingly run out of the island and came to some unknown place."

"Have you passed the bridge?" Lu Mingfei asked Chu Tianjiao.

"No, we have been running on land. Theoretically, we should still be on the island, but we seem to have left the island in the fog." Chu Tianjiao said, "The crew members finally began to relax when they realized that the danger behind them seemed to have disappeared. Some wanted to stop and rest, while others wanted to collapse on the ground and sleep soundly. I saw that the cuffs of Sasha's broken arm were stained with blood again. I was cruel and did not let them rest. I urged them to keep moving forward because I knew it was not time to relax. The invisible threat was only temporary. As long as we were trapped in Nibelungen, danger would be everywhere."

"We continued to move forward in the thick fog and unknowingly stepped into the sea. We didn't know when the land under our feet turned into shallow water. We looked back and could no longer see the shadow of the island. There was only thick fog. We were shrouded in fog in all directions and couldn't tell east, south, west, or north. It was just like when we first arrived in Nibelungen." Chu Tianjiao said, "Only in a certain direction, which should be considered directly in front of us, we could vaguely see a huge and blurry black shadow hidden in the fog. It looked like an island from the outline."

"There was endless water in front of us and thick fog behind us. No one dared to jump into the water rashly, let alone turn back to retreat in the direction we came from. The crew and I stood on the shallow reef and walked with difficulty." Chu Tianjiao said, "Just when we were at our wits' end, a black shadow appeared in the fog and slowly came in front of us. It turned out to be a boat."

"Boat?" Chu Zihang said in a low voice, and everyone in the room frowned.

"It was a wooden boat, slowly passing through the fog and coming in front of us. It cut through the calm water without any wind and silently." Chu Tianjiao said, "Some crew members were frightened by this scene, while others felt that there is always a way out. This is a way of survival given to us by God. We can escape by riding this boat. Sasha came to my side, he looked at the boat with a complicated look in his eyes, and asked me in a low voice if I still remembered the story of the legendary 'Avalon'."

"The paradise in Welsh mythology is shrouded by sea water, swamps and fog. It is the legendary resting place of King Arthur, the place of 'death' and 'eternal life'. It can only be reached by a small boat." Chu Tianjiao said, "Sasha said that now he really believes that the legendary 'Avalon' really exists. I have also confirmed with my own eyes that the myth is true. It is a documentary history, a history of the dragon clan. 'Avalon' refers to the Nibelungen of a certain dragon king."

"Sasha suddenly told me that he believed it. I looked at him in confusion. I didn't understand what he meant for a moment. Sasha told me that he believed what I said before. He believed that dragons really existed in this world, because even 'God' existed, so what was impossible about dragons?" Chu Tianjiao said, "Sasha looked at the wooden boat. He asked me what I should do, whether I should get on the boat, whether it would take us to where 'God' was, and whether that was a way to life or hell."

It seems that after experiencing that strange island and Vincent's incident, Sasha's original worldview had probably collapsed a long time ago, and so did the other crew members. However, the human brain has a self-defense mechanism, and it is generally difficult to accept things that one does not want to believe. However, Sasha's ability to accept is definitely very strong compared to ordinary people. After suffering such serious injuries and experiencing such terrible things, his spirit has not collapsed. Instead, he can calm down and think about the current situation, as well as the matters of "God" and dragons. This rough but delicate Russian man is indeed worthy of being the acting captain of the "Yamal".

"I can't answer Sasha, because we can't retreat. Going back to the island with those giant snakes, those 'cocoons' and that giant tree again is undoubtedly a dead end, and these crew members are definitely unwilling to go back." Chu Tianjiao paused, "But if we really get on that ship, what's the difference between that and walking into a trap? That white humanoid, the so-called 'god' is definitely more powerful than the creatures on that island. Can we really have a chance of survival if we drag ourselves to find the 'god' with our injuries all over our bodies?"

"You finally boarded that ship, right?" Chu Zihang asked Chu Tianjiao.

"I was forced to make the decision because of the situation and the crew's desire to survive. When the first person jumped onto the boat, I hadn't reacted yet. But once the first person jumped onto the boat, there would be a second and a third. Everyone rushed to squeeze onto the slightly cramped boat." Chu Tianjiao said slowly, "In the end, Sasha and I were the only ones left standing on the shallow reef. The boat was so crowded that there was no standing room. But it didn't flip or sink, and it still floated lightly on the water."

"If a small boat can carry so many people at the same time and its draft does not change, this cannot be explained by buoyancy alone." Chu Zihang whispered, "It seems that God has only left you one choice."

"No, there are other ways. I thought of it at the time. When I saw the crowded boat, an idea popped into my mind." Chu Tianjiao said, "I don't have to get on that boat, but I don't have to worry about sinking or physical problems. I can grab the stern and use the boat as a power source. Anyway, there is not enough space on top. And I always have a bad feeling in my heart. Getting on that boat is like stepping into a trap... a trap prepared for us by the 'God'."

“Originally Sasha wanted to go into the water with me, but given that his injuries were too serious, he had lost a lot of blood from the broken arm and it would be easy for him to get hypothermia if he soaked in cold water.” Chu Tianjiao said, “So I sent Sasha on the boat, but I was also careful. I let Sasha stay at the stern of the boat, as there was no room to stand in the boat. I let Sasha sit on the eaves of the boat, and I supported him from behind.” Lu Mingfei and the others were all shocked, and they all marveled at Chu Tianjiao’s wisdom for being able to find such a way out in a seemingly dead end trap.

"After all the crew members got on board, the wooden boat began to move. It moved forward slowly. There was no wind and no power source, but it kept moving straight in the fog, leaving scars on the mirror-like surface of the water and silently healing them behind us." Chu Tianjiao said, "The cold water calmed my body temperature and brain. I soaked in the water, following the boat's slow progress, thinking about Vincent's last words in my mind. He said that the world's retreat is with God. I never understood what this sentence meant. I thought maybe it meant that the exit of Nibelungen was hidden on the island where the white figure was, but I couldn't imagine what form that exit would take. We sank into the sea when we entered Nibelungen, so what about the exit? It can't be a door, right?"

After hearing Chu Tianjiao's words, everyone in the room fell into deep thought. The entrance to the Nibelung was sinking into the sea in such an abstract way, so the exit should not be something as concrete as a "door", right?

So what is on the island where the white figure is? Everyone recalled the painting of "Island of Death" in Vincent's room described by Chu Tianjiao, wondering if there was anything missing.

"I don't know how long it took, the boat was still traveling in the fog, the crew members on the boat suddenly started to talk in low voices, Sasha turned his head to look at me, he asked me if I felt hot." Chu Tianjiao said, "Hot? I really didn't feel it, because my whole body was soaked in cold water, like a fish frozen in ice, I even had to rely on my bloodline to maintain my body temperature, how could I feel hot? But the crew members on the boat were talking louder and louder, some were even taking off the suede wrapped around their necks, I saw sweat oozing from Sasha's pale forehead."

"I realized that Sasha really didn't lie to me. He really felt the heat. The body's reaction won't lie. But this is very strange, because since we entered this Nibelungen, it seems that we have lost the ability to perceive temperature. This world can't be said to be cold or hot. As long as you are not soaked in water, you will not feel uncomfortable no matter how many clothes you wear." Chu Tianjiao said, "I heard some crew members say that they saw light in the fog ahead, but my sight was blocked by the boat, and I could only see the fog."

"Gradually, I found that the fog became lighter, and I actually felt the heat, even though I was soaking in cold water. I also saw light, not in front of me, but in the reflection of the water." Chu Tianjiao said, "The red-orange light was like a burning flame, or a burning sun. The sea water around me was dyed a light golden color. This is something we have never seen in this Nibelungen. I want to know what is happening in front of me."

"At this time, Sasha turned around and whispered to me that there was an island ahead of us. I asked him what the island looked like, and Sasha said he couldn't see it clearly because it was shrouded in light. We could only see it when the boat got closer to the island." Chu Tianjiao said, "But as the boat got closer to the island, the light became brighter and brighter, like a blazing fire. The crew members on the wooden boat and Sasha all turned around, unable to look directly at the dazzling light. Even I could feel the water temperature getting higher, and the reflections in the water became brighter, so bright that it was blinding."

"What is that?" Caesar asked in a low voice.

Lu Mingfei and Nuo Nuo both lowered their heads, lost in thought.

"The crew couldn't see what it was because the light was too hot and too dazzling. They thought it was the sun rising in front of them. I was the only one who saw it clearly." Chu Tianjiao whispered, "It was a reflection. I saw it from the reflection of the water. Although my eyes were almost blinded by the glare, I squinted and finally saw the shape of the light. The moment I saw it, I suddenly realized that my ominous premonition had really come true!"

Everyone in the room subconsciously held their breath. Everyone was curious about what Chu Tianjiao had seen that caused him to react so violently.

"That's a person." Chu Tianjiao said in a low voice.

"Alone?" Caesar raised his eyebrows.

"To be precise, it was a human figure. He was wearing a white robe, and his exposed arms were wrapped in grayish-white bandages. His pupils were golden, like flowing lava, and golden flames were burning around him, like a ball of sun." Chu Tianjiao said, "The light that the crew and I saw came from that human figure. Behind him was a huge island. Through the bright light, we could vaguely see black coffins all over the island. The most terrifying thing was that the wooden boat had stopped at some point, and we saw the light getting brighter and brighter because the white human figure was approaching us quickly."

Everyone in the room's faces changed. No wonder Chu Tianjiao was so panicked, because "God" took action. Vincent was right, that thing really came in person.

"The entire sky was dyed golden. Very quickly, as that thing approached, it carried with it a huge majesty, like a mountain reaching the sky pushing towards us. The whole world was shaking wildly." Chu Tianjiao said, "The sea surface, which had always been calm, began to ripple, one higher than the other, and finally turned into a raging tide taller than a person. I was tossed in the water with the wooden boat and was almost submerged several times."

“I don’t know why our experience was different from the myth about taking a canoe to reach ‘Avalon’ in the mist, but I realized at that time that what Vincent said was true. That thing was definitely not a human. It could be called a ‘god’ or a devil. It was something beyond human comprehension.” Chu Tianjiao said, “Its arrival was like the end of the world. I shouted at the crew to leave the canoe quickly, but no one responded. My voice was swallowed by the arrival of that thing.”
