Chapter 682 It's Nice to Meet You

Wine only gets better with age!"Qiaobaer looked serious and coaxed the old man, "Grandpa, all wine is the same. After a long time, it will all turn into vinegar."When she said that, Old Master Jun fe...This heavy rain, I don't know why, when the rainwater flows into my eyes, it feels burning and uncomfortable.

This was Qiao Bao'er's first time encountering rain since she arrived on the island.

Everyone quickly grabbed their backpacks and held them over their heads, or plucked some large leaves to shield themselves. This rain was truly strange.

"...Is it always like this when it rains on this island"

They descended the muddy mountain path, taking careful steps down, their hands inevitably coming into contact with the rainwater. At first, Lao Gui and the others, with their thick skin and tough flesh, didn't feel much, but as time went on, even their rough palms began to ache like they were being corroded.

The ancient ginkgo tree on the mountaintop, with a history spanning millennia, had its lush and magnificent golden leaves washed down by the heavy rain at an astonishing speed. In a short while, more than half of the leaves had already fallen to the ground.

The surrounding vegetation was also greatly affected by the rainfall, and some small trees became bare all of a sudden.

They had never experienced the island's rainy season before, and this first rain really opened their eyes.

Raphael remained silent throughout the journey, his face grim. He had struggled to steal the staff from the second island, only to find it snatched away by someone else before he could reach it.

And, this rain was also a surprise to him.

Count Black seemed to be quite uncomfortable from the rain. He kept shaking his fur and letting out weak, struggling meows.

Whenever Qiao Bao'er saw the smelly cat, she was always very arrogant. Seeing the sickly state of this cat now, she felt a little sympathy.

This mountain was very steep, so they found it harder to go down than up. The sky was raining and the soil on the mountain was a bit loose. For safety, they could only take a roundabout route down the mountain.

On the hillside, there was originally a hollowed-out mountainside that could shelter from the rain. But they triggered some mechanisms, causing a landslide that buried many precious mural artifacts. Now, they had to grit their teeth and endure the walk down to the foot of the mountain.

Qiao Bao'er plucked two large leaves, similar to lotus leaves, to shield herself from the rain. Her hands and body remained dry, but her shoes, worn thin from constant use, leaked rainwater. Her delicate skin tingled with pain as it soaked through; it was incredibly uncomfortable.

It is speculated that this rain is related to the corrosive ash ejected by the previous volcanic eruption.

Or, as Raphael put it, the magnetic field of the third island is indeed different from elsewhere.

According to the record in ancient books, this is hellfire spewed by demonic creatures, condensing into thick fog and accumulating into torrential rain capable of destroying all living beings.

They walked for two hours along this mountain path and finally found a deep cave not far from the foot of the mountain. It was a small cave, dug out by some kind of wild beast, not very big, but large enough to shelter their group of 10 people from the rain.

Raphael's grim expression softened slightly, his right hand lighting a lighter. Count Black Cat leapt from his arms and darted first into the pitch-black cave, inspecting it. He rarely had the mood to make sarcastic remarks, but he did offer some about the island's ancient legends.

"Is there a beast living in this cave" Everyone stood outside the cave, hesitating a little.

Grabbing weapons from their backpacks, they set up a line of heavy weaponry. Just like during a live-fire exercise against an enemy camp, they moved cautiously, fanning out to the sides with cover in the rear.

If ordinary wild animals don't need to be so exaggerated in their normal lives, then on this third island where birds live, even a tiny mosquito would give them a headache.

"There's something!"

The crab suddenly yelled, and they could clearly hear the sound of fighting coming from inside the cave.

The shout alerted them all. They grabbed their torches and ran, running towards the source of the sound. They didn't hear any animal roars, but it sounded like two people fighting each other, punching and kicking.

"Damn it, you're always kicking me in the balls!"

Junzhi Mu listened, the first to react. He reached out and grabbed Qiao Bao'er, stopping her from going further inside. The cave was bigger than they had imagined, but on the crab side, due to an excess of support, everyone was too surprised, "Monkey!" The big men rushed in without time to stop and bumped into each other.

Our people.

Just as they were excited, sounds of punching and kicking came from the other dark side. The strength of these blows was formidable, full of vigor. One punch smashed heavily against the mountain wall, causing some dust to fall from the ceiling of the cave.

This is definitely not human strength.

Raphael seemed to be being relentlessly pursued by some kind of creature, and the sheer force of the opponent's attacks was overwhelming him, leaving him panting.

And Lao Gui's side, Monkey found that the one fighting him in the darkness was actually a crab. He was astonished and angry, no wonder all his dirty tricks were kicking towards his lower body.

"Hey monkey, what are you doing here"

"What's going on over there Who's fighting Rafael" Lao Gui was heartless, knowing full well that Rafael was on the other end, being brutally beaten by something unknown, yet he remained relaxed.

"Monkey, weren't you staying on the island of savages How did you get here"

"The animals on this third island are ferocious. We encountered a carp earlier, over a meter long, with teeth sharper than a wolf's. A-Da's leg meat was bitten clean off... Look at you, you seem to have had no trouble along the way."

The whole team was very in sync, warmly greeting the monkeys as if Raphael's fight had nothing to do with them.

If it hadn't been for Qiao Bao excitedly running over with her torch, Lao Gui and the others would have really liked to see Raphael beaten to a pulp by something.

It is their inner desire to make Raphael suffer.

"Samba!" Qiao Bao'er shouted excitedly, the faint firelight immediately revealing that familiar hulking figure.

Samba's hand movements froze as he heard Qiao Bao'er's voice. He slowly turned his head to look around, reacting with a delay.

It's a baby!

Suddenly Samba's face was full of menace, his fierce expression and dark eyes gleamed with excitement. No longer wanting to fight, he abandoned the half-beaten Rafael and charged towards Qiao Baoer. His heavy footsteps pounded the ground, sending dust swirling throughout the small cave.

Samba spoke at lightning speed, a torrent of mumbles and shouts, scooped up Qiao Bao'er, carrying her on his shoulder, then held her in front of him, still worried, so he carried her back on his shoulder. Qiao Bao'er was dizzy from the jostling... It was clear that Samba was incredibly excited.

Everyone watched silently as Samba, the big man, tossed Qiao Baoer around like prey. They couldn't say anything, after all, this was the way wild people expressed "I'm glad to see you," truly enthusiastic.

Just as Qiao Bao'er was about to have her whole skeleton disintegrate, Jun Zhimu frowned and couldn't bear it any longer, rebuking with displeasure, "Put her down!"

Sanba could hear the language they were speaking. He first glared at Jun Zhimu like a wild and unruly beast, this was his body's instinctive defense, "Sanba, put me down, I, I feel a little nauseous…" Qiao Baoer finally caught her breath in Sanba's excited surge, and quickly said.

Being tossed around like this is worse than a roller coaster.

Joe Baoer didn't blame Samba either. Samba, being a wild beast, hadn't evolved much yet. Many of his actions were just primal instincts.

Sambo seemed to realize he had done wrong. He slowly put Qiao Bao'er back on the ground, steadying her with his two thick arms. Then, he looked at her face and muttered softly in a low voice.

"It should have been a loud, excited shout," Samba whispered timidly, "but..."

The savage expressed his emotions very directly and simply. Qiao Bao'er stood there for a moment, then raised her hand and patted Samba's thick arm, "I'm glad to see you too."

It's just that simple.

A simple reunion.

Samba's heart pounded with excitement. His usually fierce features softened into the innocent smile of a child, and his dark eyes sparkled with joy.e us bring all these weapons, what do you want to do!" Lao Gui glared coldly at Raphael."We won't believe you."He wants to trick us into going to the island, it must be dangerous.“He messed up our rou...
