My Summons Are All Gods - Chapter 434

Chapter 434: Change of Policy

“Give me some water.”

Sharena was the first who returned from the expedition team. Riding on a big horse that she had summoned, she took the flask from Apollo and drank the water in one gulp. She then said after moistening her throat.

“There’s something wrong with this island.”

“Of course I know there’s something wrong with this island. No one said there’s nothing wrong with it…” Apollo felt a little sorry for the water and took back the flask.

Sharena shook her head vigorously. “That’s not what I meant. The island is moving. The place we saw when we went there disappeared when we came back.”

After Sharena highlighted, Apollo also remembered something. A few days ago, when he looked at the wilderness behind him, he clearly remembered that there was a piece of land that was darker in color. However, that piece of land seemed to have disappeared as well. But Apollo did not pay attention to the matter.

If Sharena did not see wrongly, then this island might not be a piece of solid ground. Instead, it was constantly moving.

However, now was not the time to think about this problem. No matter how the island moved, it was unable to move the Great Wall.

During the construction of the Great Wall over the past few days, Apollo had already discovered that the Great Wall was more like it was placed on the ground, rather than growing out of the ground.

Every time he saw the Great Wall, Apollo could not help but miss His Majesty. The Great Wall that His Majesty had casually built back then had now become their most important haven.

“I’ve taken note of your opinion. Now come with me. I’m going to have a short meeting.”

As Apollo spoke, he waved his arms and called everyone over to gather in front of the tent.

“Guys, I have something to say.”

“Just one word.”

“Water.”

Everyone frowned. Although they had already felt the water problem of the Sky Dynasty, since Apollo did not specifically mention it, they felt that it might not be as bad as they had imagined.

However, now that the problem had been brought up, it meant that this matter had reached the point of imminent danger.

“Yes, water. I only drank two mouthfuls today, and I didn’t dare to drink more.”

“Water, water…”

Everyone complained intermittently. Perhaps it was because after they discovered the water problem, they did not even dare to speak more, as they were afraid that they would waste the water in their mouths.

“From today onwards, let’s put aside all the work.”

Apollo continued, “We will try our best to find a solution to the problem of drinking water. This problem is quite urgent now.”

“Then, let’s talk about the next action. Sharena!”

“Yes,I’m here.” Sharena raised her hand and answered.

Apollo nodded, and then paced a few times and slowly said, “Everyone has seen Sharena’s performance these few days. The luggage she brought back is enough for everyone to survive for half a month. I think no one should doubt her ability now, right?”

Apollo still remembered when they announced the action plan in the tent, only a few people were willing to go out with Sharena. The rest of the people were mostly unwilling to believe her. They were afraid that this little girl who had never performed well in the team would lead everyone astray.

But now, since Sharena had already gone out two or three times, and it was not that she had never brought back any fruitful results, Sharena had already proved to everyone that she was a qualified guide.

Everyone nodded. In fact Sharena was blushing as she knew that she was actually just walking with her head low and she had been lucky all along. In addition, they were more careful as after walking a few steps, they would turn around to look at the footprints. Only then did they ensure that there was no problem with the direction.

Besides finding a few luggage, the biggest credit of their team was the fact that the island would move.

However, Sharena also knew that the fact that the island would move was actually discovered by an experienced person with a certain amount of geographical knowledge in the team, and had nothing to do with her.

However, when Sharena’s team discovered that the island would move, Apollo decided not to tell everyone temporarily, as it would cause unnecessary panic. The most important thing now was to be prepared to stay here for a long time, and the issue of water was the priority.

After all, ordinary people could survive for a week without eating, or even longer if they were stronger. However, without water, no one could survive for more than three days.

Apollo continued, “Now we must expand the team that goes out and search for everyone’s luggage with Sharena. According to the current weight, at least half a month’s worth of water will be left on the island somewhere. Those who are willing to join, please stand by Sharena’s side.”

After Apollo gave his order, the crowd began to move. Not long after, more than a dozen people stood beside Sharena.

“The rest of you, make a bone shovel with me. Let’s go and try to dig out the underground water.”

Apollo ordered the rest of the people to use the bones of the monsters from before to make into the shape of a shovel. They would go to a place far away from the Great Wall and try digging. They might be able to dig out the underground water.

Looking at the black trees on the island previously, it was very likely that there was a river or something underground. Otherwise, how could it be able to support so many black trees.

Although most of the flowing water in the Ghost Swamp was also poisonous, according to Simmons, it was worth a try. What if it was a non-poisonous river, or if the river had not been contaminated by the poison until now, then the Sky Dynasty would have an inexhaustible source of water.

As for the fact that there was a river underground, Apollo did not believe it at first, but Bulanda swore that it was possible. There might even be more rivers underground than on the shore.

They spent an entire night making the bones of those monsters into the shape of shovels, at least to the extent that each could have one in hand.

The next morning, Sharena left with more than a dozen people. They had brought more people on this trip, so the pressure on the division of labor was also reduced a lot. Five people were specially assigned to keep an eye on the direction, to ensure that they would not stray off the island without any landmark. This had make the progress of their team unprecedentedly fast.

They did not bother with the construction under the Great Wall anymore. They put them aside for now. Apollo had stayed back to keep watch. Same as previously, they would come back if anything happened.

The others followed Simmons’s footsteps and went to other places. They dug into the soil at random. It would be good news if they found the soil was getting wetter.

Before leaving, Bulanda went to see Sharena and told her to find a way to bring back a piece of mud from the sea of mud surrounding the island if she had time.
