Any creature that heard it would feel a wave of dizziness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Targeted by such a terrifying Second Order Middle Stage Giant Eagle Beast, Lin Li’s heart pounded in his chest, and his palms instantly grew clammy with cold sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Should I dodge? No... I can’t. Facing a diving attack from this tyrant of the skies, dodging would be suicide. In this situation, there’s only one thing to do...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the brief moment between spotting the Giant Eagle Beast and its dive, Lin Li’s thoughts raced, and he quickly made the most advantageous decision for this perilous situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He crouched down and placed a hand on the body of the ice-blue python beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the diving Giant Eagle Beast was just over thirty meters from Lin Li. At its speed, it would only take a second for its sharp talons, shimmering with a faint golden Spiritual Light, to snatch him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a single thought, in less than a ten-thousandth of a second, Lin Li and the ice-blue python beast vanished without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"SCREEE?!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing its target disappear, the Giant Eagle Beast let out a sharp, confused cry. Just before hitting the ground, it flapped its wings a few times and instantly soared back into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"WHOOSH...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The powerful gust of wind from its flapping wings blasted in all directions, kicking up a huge cloud of dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Giant Eagle Beast circled in the sky, utterly baffled. ’Why did the prey I was about to catch suddenly disappear? Did it use a Superpower to hide?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staring down at the ground from high above, the unwilling Giant Eagle Beast circled several times but found no trace of its prey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, it had no choice but to accept that its prey had truly vanished into thin air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"SCREEE...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two juicy pieces of meat, right within its grasp, had just disappeared. As a top predator, the Giant Eagle Beast was extremely frustrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, the Giant Eagle Beast had been soaring thousands of meters in the sky, observing the ground and searching for prey it could strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it spotted a human fighting a snake-like Mutant Beast, it immediately had the idea of being the fisherman who profits while the sandpiper and the clam fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Giant Eagle Beast circled thousands of meters high, watching quietly as things unfolded just as it had expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When two fight, one must die. In the end, the human was victorious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since a winner had been decided, it was time for the \"fisherman\" to make its entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, the final outcome was not as wonderful as it had imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Giant Eagle Beast never expected the human to have such a special escape method, and to even take the other ’juicy piece of meat’ it had its eye on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"SCREEE...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having gained nothing, the Giant Eagle Beast took one last look at the spot where Lin Li had vanished, then turned and flew away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flap of its wings and a howl of wind, the Giant Eagle Beast soon became a black dot and disappeared from sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>* * *\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the Mysterious Small Island, shrouded in a vast white mist, two figures appeared out of thin air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Getting ambushed by two Mutant Beasts in a row... my luck is a little rotten today! Was it because I found those Indigenous People so easily earlier? Did I use up all my luck for the day?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Li mumbled after bringing the ice-blue python beast to the Mysterious Small Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the Magical Little Tree in the center of the Mysterious Small Island seemed to sense that a delicious meal had been delivered to its doorstep. Its canopy immediately bloomed with a faint golden Spiritual Light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, the corpse of the ice-blue python beast in front of Lin Li dissolved into wisps of white mist, which were completely absorbed by the Magical Little Tree and its glowing golden Spiritual Light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the Magical Little Tree as the faint golden Spiritual Light faded from its form, a thought crossed Lin Li’s mind, and a message appeared out of nowhere in his head... *One percent.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I’ll put hunting Mutant Beasts to raise my progress on hold for now. I’ll continue after I find a town where the Indigenous People of that world live.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Filled with curiosity about that unknown Otherworld, Lin Li thought for a moment. Between hunting Mutant Beasts to raise his progress and finding a town of the Indigenous People, he decided to prioritize the latter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After waiting on the Mysterious Small Island for about five or six minutes, Lin Li felt that the Giant Eagle Beast that had ambushed him should have left by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he once again walked up to the unremarkable, arch-shaped Stone Gate, which was as black as ink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go,\" Lin Li said to the Stone Gate in front of him, then reached out his left hand to touch it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh???\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Lin Li’s left hand touched the Stone Gate, the expected event—the gate bursting with a dazzling golden light and sending him to the unknown Otherworld, as it had before—did not happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s going on? Why is there no reaction at all?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Stone Gate, though touched by Lin Li, remained completely still, standing there silently like any ordinary stone gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Lin Li was about to raise his hand and slap the Stone Gate a few times, a message appeared out of nowhere in his head... *Once a day.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once a day?!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staring at the message that had appeared in his mind, Lin Li raised a hand to scratch his head and muttered to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can’t believe this Stone Gate has a usage limit. I was planning to find a town of that world’s Indigenous People before sunset today. Now that plan will have to be postponed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the Stone Gate’s daily use had been expended, Lin Li could no longer travel to the unknown Otherworld. With a thought, he left the Mysterious Small Island and returned to his home on Blue Star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>* * *\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Li, dressed in camouflage, appeared in his living room. As he headed to his bedroom to change, he suddenly thought of something very important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Later, if I manage to find a town inhabited by the Indigenous People of the unknown Otherworld, I can’t just walk in wearing camouflage made from modern Blue Star industrial materials!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If I did that, it would be almost impossible to avoid attracting attention...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So, I should store a set or two of cotton and linen training clothes on the Mysterious Small Island beforehand. Once I find a town in that world, I can change out of my camouflage before going in.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After taking off his camouflage and changing into a T-shirt and shorts, Lin Li began rummaging through his closet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, he found two sets of training clothes from many years ago, one gray and one black, both without any patterns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These two sets of training clothes hold a lot of memories for me. I thought I’d never use them again in this lifetime. Who would’ve thought!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gazing at the training clothes in his hands, which held so many memories, Lin Li sighed with emotion. Then, with a thought, he stored both sets on the Mysterious Small Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>* * *\u003C\u002Fp>",1232,"2026-06-06T12:43:53.918Z",1,"novelbin.me","715c3b11741aa85f9678d012ab0d9b91684f1069e81c27811bd5cb8152f4922a","i-start-with-a-mysterious-island-chapter-165","i-start-with-a-mysterious-island-chapter-164",305,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-start-with-a-mysterious-island-cover.jpg"]
