Chapter 622: Inscriptions on the Wall

Xiaowei had entertained that night happened to be Mo Gao.Mo Gao is a fat man with bad breath and foul language. He also particularly enjoys seeing others suffer misfortune. However, Qiao Bao'er under...The savages here seem to be very enigmatic.

Lu Qinan and his companions arrived at the island inhabited by wild people. They were thrown about by pits in the forest, bruised and battered. Upon seeing fire-making tools, iron pots, and water storage urns, they no longer underestimated the indigenous people of this island.

"...tsk tsk, the barbarian's barbecue smells better than ours. It seems like they added some herbs."

The crab was a glutton, fearlessly scooping up a skewer of roasted pheasant from the bonfire. It blew off the ash and dirt and started chomping away.

This chicken has been plucked and its innards removed, leaving it clean. The roasted chicken has a golden, crispy skin and tender meat. Although there are no visible seasonings, it tastes like herbs have been added, becoming more flavorful with each bite, with a numbing and aromatic taste.

Lu Qinian and Lao Gui immediately surrounded him, the three men started a childish brawl, the crab guarded its food fiercely, refusing to budge, while the roast chicken crammed into its mouth frantically.

Lu Qinan and Lao Gui reluctantly grabbed a chicken wing and a chicken head, shoving them into their mouths to chew.

They looked at each other with strange expressions, this barbecue is really delicious.

Could it be that the intelligence of these wild people here is actually higher than theirs

They journeyed all night long without rest. Now the sun had risen, bathing the slope in warm light that was dazzling but did little to dispel their fatigue. No matter who they might encounter, wild men or otherwise, a brief rest was needed before anything else.

This slope has three caves. The first cave is the largest, capable of accommodating over thirty people if they squeeze in, just barely enough for a decent night's sleep.

The second cave seemed to be a storeroom, with plenty of dried firewood and branches, as well as three rather moldy wild boar legs.

The third cave was the smallest, about the size of a ten-square-meter room. There were several large bundles of dry hay on the ground, and several ropes made of hemp lay scattered around.

"...This smallest cave must be for keeping things." Monkey and Junzhi Mu didn't feel sleepy, continuing to carefully inspect the surrounding area.

The hay was clearly animal feed. Monkeys have a particularly sensitive sense of smell, and they could detect a musky animal odor in the cave, along with... something else they couldn't quite place.

"This hemp rope is from the roots of an old tree that fell in the forest. It must have been used to tie up animals..." They picked up the hemp rope on the ground, watching and analyzing it.

Junzhi Mu furrowed his brows slightly and said, "This incision is very neat."

These hemp ropes were cut with a tool.

The monkey's expression was complex. "Could these wild people here use tools so skillfully"

What they initially perceived as a pristine, deserted island now appears to be semi-modernized, suggesting that their mission here will carry more potential risks.

"...Never mind, meet force with force and water with earth. Let's take a good rest first. Jun Shao, you can stay in this little cave to rest."

As soon as the monkey finished speaking, he was about to go out.

"Samba, Reina, the chieftainess," Junmu's voice was low and complex, muttering some strange names. He suddenly turned around, grabbed the monkey's arm, and ordered in a stern tone, "Immediately call Rafael over!"

The monkey froze, his gaze fixed on the dirt wall of the cave to the left. There were a few Chinese characters carved into it with a knife: 【Samba, Lena, Female Chieftain】.

Someone has carved characters in this cave, and they are Chinese characters.

The monkey also immediately became excited and ran out to find Raphael.

Raphael was always aloof. He had been sitting alone, resting with his eyes closed beneath a sun-drenched rock. When the monkeys called him over to their cave, mentioning "inscriptions on the walls," he reluctantly got up and followed them.

Raphael was also somewhat surprised that someone had actually carved words onto the wall.

"...These Chinese characters absolutely couldn't have been carved by barbarians, they must be our people's."

Lu Qinian, hearing about the monkeys' discovery, also ran over gossipily and shouted excitedly, "It must be a clue left behind by Qiao Baier!"

"Definitely not a wild man, but it's not necessarily Qiao Baier either. It could be someone else on the same flight."

"If it really was Qiao Bao'er who carved the words on the wall, what did she mean by writing them"

"The first two must be names, probably the people who took her or maybe just people she met... Female chieftain Does this dump even have a chieftain"

Lu Qinan and the others were wide awake due to this major discovery, discussing it with great enthusiasm.

The young man's eyes were fixed intently on the crudely carved lettering on the mud wall. Though unlike a pencil or pen, it had formed clear characters and his heart pounded with excitement.

He could tell it was written by Qiao Bao'er, her handwriting.

Jun's shepherd gripped his right hand into a fist, his expression as cold and indifferent as ever. He turned to Raphael, speaking in a low but hurried voice, "What do these mean"

"It must be a wild man's name, but I don't recognize it."

Raphael saw his anxious expression and said slowly, "...So my little sister was captured by a savage, huh" He deliberately dragged out the last word, clearly relishing in his brother's misfortune.

Junzhi Mu listened to his tone and his face darkened.

Lu Qinian and the others were shocked, "Really Qiao Bao'er"

She was captured by the wild men and locked in this cave. Where is she now Lu Qinan anxiously asked Raphael.

But Raphael wasn't in the least bit hurried. "I don't know."

"Aren't you related to her Don't you see her current situation...Raphael, are you **ing trying to play us!"

Raphael remained impassive, and Lu Qinan cursed him impatiently.

Raphael indeed has the ability to peek into Qiao Bao'er's current situation, but he is heartbroken and exhausted.

To put it simply, he only cares about his own affairs. Jun Zhimù refused to split their forces and do things for him, and he didn't even want to know if his beloved little sister was alive or dead.

Jun's shepherd suppressed a complex mix of emotions and asked, "What happens after being captured by wild men"

Raphael also knows that the shepherd isn't easy to get along with, but he hasn't crossed his line yet. He'll still cooperate and say what needs to be said, "Those captured by savages are usually taken to the market to be sold."

"Sell it"

" Qiao Baoer was sold by the savage!" Lu Qinan and Lao Gui and the others' expressions grew tense.

Raphael, seeing their expressions, chuckled mischievously and added, "Or maybe be kept by wild people as a wife." He seemed to anticipate something good.

Wilders lived in a matriarchal society. Female wilders were rare and highly valued. It was not easy for male wilders to find wives. If a male wilder caught a female, he might act impulsively out of excitement.

The wild man's massive physique, his little sister is truly 'blessed', wonder if she can handle it hehe.

Jun Zhi's face was ashen, his fists clenched so tightly that the veins on them were bulging. He was about to punch Raphael when Lao Gui and the others, familiar with his temper, immediately rushed forward to block him. "Young Master Jun, don't take this devil's words seriously. He said it on purpose… Let's go outside and discuss this properly," they persuaded him, pushing him out.

"Young Jun, that black cat is gone. We searched carefully but couldn't find it. It must have been sent by Raphael to look for the young mistress."

They several went out of the cave and walked to the fire pit where they were barbecuing, gathering around to discuss matters.

"Raphael has become particularly enthusiastic since stepping foot on the island of savages. There must be something he wants here."

"Raphael needs our help, he went to great lengths to bring us here. I guess he held a high position on this island before, perhaps he suddenly encountered a rebellion. Gu Ruqing is most likely his arch-nemesis."

"Since Raphael is asking us for help, he wouldn't abandon the Miss card. He also mentioned splitting his forces before, sending the Earl to find someone. It seems he wants to control Miss first and then negotiate with us."

Although Lao Gui and Monkey often bicker and tease each other, they are both veteran soldiers who have seen countless battles. They clearly understand the pros and cons of this situation.

Now I just hope they can be less impulsive, after all, the onlooker is clear, the person in the situation is confused.

They debated fervently, emphasizing the bigger picture and cautioning against antagonizing Raphael at this juncture.

Jun's grim expression gradually eased. He naturally understood these things, but Raphael's teasing gaze when he mentioned Qiao Baoer had enraged him for a moment.

The overall situation is paramount, and rational analysis should prevail. However, he isn't a god, just an ordinary person, and people have emotions.

"All personnel, remain in place and rest for two days."

Jun's shepherd regained his usual composure and calmness, issuing orders in a low voice. After a pause, his tone grew heavier as he added, "...fire colored flares into the sky."

Lu Qinan and Lao Gui heard the order, their expressions were a bit complex. Generally, they wouldn't fire flares into the sky.

White smoke signals represent a distress call.

While colorful flares are only meant to let teammates know your approximate location, they also alert the enemy to your whereabouts.

Jun Zhi's shepherd ordered the launch of colored fireworks, hoping Qiao Baoer could see him.Little Zhu, of course she's been doing well these past few days. I moved all the best things from home over here, and bought her lots of supplements... We live together here, it's so happy, no worries...
