Chapter 620 The Barbarians Are Not Simple

    

the night, groggy. She originally wanted to go to the bathroom, but she forgot that she was at Jun's house. When she turned around, she accidentally bumped into the bedside table.She bent down and pi..."Damn it, who's digging so many holes in the forest!"

Lu Qinan had already fallen twice, his butt aching from the falls. He was covered in mud and struggled to get out of the pit. Luckily, there were no traps at the bottom, or he would have been in real trouble.

They had been on the road for days, and now it was late afternoon. The forest paths were treacherous at night, and they were already taking great care. But who could have expected...

Damn it, how could there be so many "artificial" pits in this virgin forest.

These pits are over a meter deep, and the openings are about half a meter wide. “This definitely couldn't be a natural landform. There were clearly branches of wood piled on top of these pits as a cover..."

The monkey added, "That's right, there were also strings of cherry tomatoes on top of the pit. It must have been a human-made trap."

And at that moment, the crab excitedly shouted from the other side, "I caught two wild rabbits down here in the pit!"

The crab fell down and was unlucky, but he unexpectedly landed in a pit with two fat rabbits. He laughed so hard his teeth were showing.

It seems that on this island, people are really using pit traps to hunt prey.

"The natives on this island are quite intelligent," Lu Qinan murmured.

He still thought that on this isolated island, there definitely wouldn't be any "intelligent" life.

Each of them held a torch in their hand as they moved forward. Armed and with plenty of prey on these islands, they had hardly gone hungry along the way. Aside from being tired from the journey, their spirits remained high.

Lao Gui and the others knew that while Jun Zhi Mu didn't say it out loud, he was anxious. Everyone wasn't afraid of hardship, so they tacitly agreed to continue on their journey even at night as long as they had the strength.

They started from a small island on the edge and followed the map's direction, crossing forests, rivers, and swamps. They couldn't remember how many kilometers they had walked. This morning, they stepped onto this new island. The forest here was denser than what they had seen before, and there were more kinds of birds and animals.

This made them realize that the island was bigger and vaster.

They were mentally prepared to encounter new ferocious beasts, but these man-made traps and pits everywhere truly took them aback.

This means the islanders are more dangerous than they anticipated.

Lu Qinian and Lao Gui looked at each other, both with the same thought in their minds: the indigenous people on this island were not easy to provoke and had to be handled carefully.

Meanwhile, everyone tightened their grip on their weapons nervously, "Be careful and watch your surroundings!" Every step was taken with extreme caution.

Worried there might be other traps.

"Why don't we rest here for the night" Pei Haoran suggested, "For safety's sake."

Walking through this treacherous forest in the dark is really dangerous.

Lao Gui thought for a moment and agreed with Pei Haoran's idea. He turned and walked towards Jun Zhi Mu, asking, "Jun Shao, should we rest here..."

And at this moment, Junzhi Mu walked to Raphael's side, his tone serious, "... This is the Savage Island."

The statement "Jun Zhi Mu" is almost a declarative sentence.

Raphael arched an eyebrow, a smirk playing on his lips, without replying.

But Raphael's playful eyes clearly told him, this, is the island of savages.

Jun Zhimu's face suddenly became very complex. Seeing his expression, I knew in my heart that the wild island was hiding many dangers. Qiao Baier had been living alone on such an island for more than a month.

Raphael, though traveling with the main group, clearly stuck out like a sore thumb. Lao Gui and his companions eyed him suspiciously, always on guard, while Raphael acted arrogantly, seemingly disdainful of walking alongside them. He always trailed behind, deliberately slowing his pace, showing no signs of urgency whatsoever.

This is the island of savages. Are the savages this intelligent

Old Ghost was also surprised and puzzled. He had imagined the savage to be huge, tall and strong but lacking intelligence, not capable of digging pits to catch prey.

"The shepherd, the savages on this island, we haven't truly met them yet. Let's rest here for now."

Lu Qinan walked over and said, "Given the current circumstances, it's probably better to run into a tiger or leopard in the forest than suddenly encounter wild people. We don't even know how to deal with them."

"You think these so-called savages might be smarter than us" the monkey quipped.

Everyone instinctively looked at Raphael, because Raphael definitely knew the approximate level of strength of the wild men on this island. But ironically, Raphael had nothing to do with them. He acted arrogantly and completely ignored them as if they were air.

The monkey was angry and really wanted to rush over and beat him up.

If it wasn't for Jun Shao's previous warning, he and Lao Gui would have ganged up on him a long time ago. They wanted to see how this Raphael demon could be so arrogant, bah.

Unlike the monkeys' indignant fury, Junzhi Mu treated Raphael with civility. He weighed the pros and cons carefully, and did not need to resort to such reckless methods. If it were truly necessary, Junzhi Mu would certainly not hesitate to act decisively.

"Take a break..."

Jun's voice was calm, but as soon as he finished speaking, Raphael suddenly chimed in, "Three hours more walking, out of the forest, there's a place to stay."

The monkey glared angrily and snapped, "Why should we listen to you You're talking nonsense."

What kind of accommodation

"Are you going to take us to the ogre's lair"

Since landing, they had been camping overnight. There were only a dozen or so tents, which weren't enough to accommodate everyone. Most people slept in the open air. The temperature difference between day and night on this island group was significant, and they often woke up with their clothes soaked with dew in the middle of the night, shivering from the cold.

If there is a place to stay, it would be much better, no need to rest in the open air anymore. Especially in the forest, the humidity is heavier and more damp. Even if you build a bonfire overnight in the forest, you will feel uneasy all night long. The chirping of cicadas, birds, and other insects make a lot of noise, and you are always worried that some wolves or wild animals might rush out.

I imagine Raphael wouldn't enjoy spending the night in the forest either.

"Hey, is the place you're talking about even safe" someone in the group shouted urgently at Raphael.

Raphael was still acting like it didn't concern him, as if their decisions were up to them.

So everyone instinctively looked to Junzhi Mu. They all, in every way, obeyed Junzhi Mu’s command.

Jun Zhimu frowned, pondering deeply. Every word he spoke represented the lives of everyone.

Raphael seemed to really hate spending the night in the forest, seeing Jun's hesitation, he immediately added with a sly tone, "... you'll see her soon."

As expected, Junzhi Mu's expression changed.

It is obvious that Rafael is referring to someone, and she refers to Qiao Baoer.

Joe Bao'er is somewhere nearby.

Without the need for Junzhi's shepherd to speak, Lao Gui and the others were individually excited. "Everyone pack your belongings and continue on our journey!"

What Jun Zhi Mu cares about, they would go through fire and water without hesitation. This voyage to the island is all for Qiao Bao'er. Since Raphael, that demon, said she was nearby, how could he miss this opportunity

Lu Qinan was like he'd just been plugged into a power source, jumping up with energy. He urged everyone, "Hurry, hurry! Qiao Baoer has been holding on here for so long, she must be waiting for us..."

Everyone was very enthusiastic. Zhu Xiaowei, though extremely tired, was also exhilarated upon hearing the news and immediately got up to continue her journey.

Everyone held torches, the golden flames connecting into a single mass. The pitch-black forest was illuminated like daylight. As their large force marched forward, the dense woods sparkled and glowed.

Even Jun's shepherd did not quicken his pace. He suppressed the excitement in his heart, his eyes shimmering with turbulent emotions, she was truly near.

I'll see her soon.hotel and went straight back to the Jun family home.Lending moneyWhen Jun Zhi Mu heard Fang Da Ma's words, his brows furrowed slightly. Qiao Bao Er asked me for money"Madam said she had something urge...
