Chapter 665: Hundred Beasts Take Flight

g scenery and said strangely, "I think a smaller house would be better."Jun Zhi's gaze lingered for a moment before he turned his head to look at her. After contemplating for a while, the two walked s...Just as Qiao Baier and the others were gazing at the night sky, bored and sighing.

Actually, the situation on the island of savages at this time is even worse than theirs.

Before they set off, Junzhi Mu and Qiao Ba'er learned that the contagious disease on the Savage Island could actually be treated with Hui Xiangcao. Hui Xiangcao mainly grew in meteorite areas. This slender magical grass grew between the cracks of meteorites and could effectively treat a variety of diseases.

Led by a monkey and Samba as their guide, they went back and forth collecting many fragrant herbs to distribute for free at the wild people's market, and also to distribute to the sick servants in the palace.

This malignant infectious disease has finally been brought under effective control.

But before they could catch their breath, a minor earthquake struck the island. The shaking lasted only about a minute and then everything returned to normal.

At first, neither the monkeys nor Pei Haoran and the others paid much attention. It wasn't until the second day after the earthquake that morning, when the morning fog was unusually heavy, even after the sun came out, it didn't dissipate. Instead, a gloomy twilight hung over the entire sky.

And the pungent smell in the air grew stronger, making it hard to breathe as it irritated both the throat and lungs.

After that, everyone tried to go out as little as possible.

Even the wild people of the market seemed to feel the discomfort of breathing, and they reduced their outings.

Three days passed, and the situation did not improve; instead, it grew worse.

"...The animals in the forest seemed to have gone mad." The group responsible for going outside to gather food had returned early, empty-handed.

"The plants and grasslands had all withered yellow, the rabbits wouldn't eat the grass anymore, and flocks of wild rabbits as well as wild boars and foxes began to migrate..."

Pei Haoran and the monkey were both surprised and disbelieving upon hearing this report.

"Animal migration"

They had indeed heard of some geese migrating south for the winter, but how could these wild boars and rabbits Besides, it was still a long way off until winter.

"Really, these animals were in such large groups, like a huge procession, crossing the forest and heading northwest, as if they were fleeing."

"Yeah, those pheasants even flapped their wings desperately, charging forward like they were crazy..."

Those returning from outside the palace spoke in a flurry, each displaying extreme agitation mingled with an underlying panic.

Now that their leader is gone, the people left behind feel lost and directionless, each with their own anxieties.

Pei Haoran and the monkey were at a loss for what to do. They quickly gathered ten or so people for a meeting and decided that regardless of whether this was a mass migration of animals, their first priority was to address the issue of food reserves.

"...On the one hand, we sent someone to ask the local indigenous chief about these animal migrations. We wanted to know if there was anything unusual about them."

On the other hand, no matter where these animals run to, we must send people to stop them. We should kill as many as we can and drain their blood to make jerky.

Before, to solve the drinking water safety issue, Pei Haoran and his team completely boiled the river water and then used another pot inverted to extract distilled water. This method tried to filter out heavy metal pollutants in the water as much as possible.

Finally solved the infectious disease problem and the drinking water issue, food shortage can't happen again, otherwise we won't last until Junzhimu and the others return.

"Where did Jun Shao and the others go, and when will they be back" Those left on the island of savages always hoped that Jun Zhi牧 and his companions would return as soon as possible with good news.

Zhu Xiao Wei was also listening to them discuss in the meeting. Her main task now was to help boil water, and she hadn't dared to go out these days.

"...I want to go and see what's going on at the old tribe leader's place." Zhu Xiaowei learned the indigenous language of the savages quickly. She had a strong linguistic talent and could already communicate fluently with them.

Pei Haoran frowned and was the first to object, "We'll send another translator. You stay in the palace."

"I know others could do this job, but I want to contribute personally." Zhu Xiaowei stood straight with a determined gaze. "I will record the words of the tribal leader in detail and give you feedback..."

"No need."

Pei Haoran didn't look at her again and directly refuted.

He then turned to the monkey, "You go with Samba to find the chief of the wild men and ask as many details as you can."

The leader of the tribe of wild women is Samba's birth mother. Having Samba go there should be helpful, plus, "You better send more people to lurk around the chief’s hut. Just in case anything unexpected happens, they can help out."

Now Pei Haoran has replaced Jun Zhimu's previous position, and he dispatches and decides on matters, big and small.

The monkey didn't object to what he said, shrugged his shoulders, and although he wasn't very convinced by Pei Haoran in his heart, there was no conflict of interest. He obediently did things according to his instructions.

And Samba, since he learned that Qiao Baoer had left the palace, never returned. He'd been in low spirits ever since.

He asked the monkey about Qiao Bao'er several times, but the monkey didn't understand his wild and primitive language at all. Every time, it shook its head solemnly.

This dismayed Samba's face, who subsequently sank even lower.

This trip, the monkey went to the headwoman of the tribe of wild women to inquire about animal migrations. Sambaa seemed reluctant; he was preoccupied with his young ones lately and didn't get along well with his birth mother.

"How did you get here" Just as the monkey was fretting over being unable to call Samba, Zhu Xiaowei snuck over.

After Pei Haoran took over the right to speak in the palace instead of Jun Zhimu, Zhu Xiaowei hardly ever left the palace. If she didn't take the initiative to ask for help with work, Pei Haoran almost wouldn't let her do much labor.

It's normal for Pei Haoran to favor and pamper his wife. However, Monkey and the others always felt a bit resentful. At that time, Jun Shao didn't give Qiao Baor any special treatment either. So why did Zhu Xiaowei live a more luxurious life than their legitimate sister-in-law

"I'm going to talk to Samba," Zhu Xiaowei said with a friendly smile, pointing to the large figure sitting sullenly inside the room. She had noticed that Samba hadn't been himself these past few days.

Zhu Xiao Wei's native language was good, even the monkeys didn't stop her.

I don't know what he was mumbling about, but the big oaf Samba actually stood up and nodded in agreement. He promised to take them to find his mother, the chieftain of the wild people.

The monkey excitedly called for all hands on deck, and they rushed to the chief’s home. It was a long journey from the palace, through the human market, taking nearly an hour to reach their destination.

And on this short journey, the earth trembled again, and Monkey and Zhu Xiaowei and the others all looked terrified.

This tremor was stronger than the last one, lasting for five minutes. The surrounding trees were swaying, and some of them, like they had been uprooted, bent over and fell to the ground. The nearby huts made by the natives, because their structures weren't very sturdy, also began to creak and groan, as if about to collapse...

Just as they were still shaken, the earthquake paused, a cacophony of wild animal roars erupted from the forest.

The animals went wild, fleeing with all their might.

Zhu Xiaowei's face was a little pale. She looked up at Samba and urged him nervously, "Go and ask the female chieftain clearly what's going on."sed in solemn attire and brought condolences. Everyone at the funeral had their own thoughts, after all, it involved many vested interests.Many people took the opportunity to chat with Jun Zhimu, afte...
