A curly-haired man excitedly suggested exploring this new continent.
The others nodded in agreement with his proposal.
"Jack, what do you say? Want to join us on an expedition into the continent?" the curly-haired man asked Jack.
Jack frowned and said, "This continent is full of unknowns. Rushing in blindly will surely be dangerous. I suggest you don't go."
Several white men accompanying Jack chimed in.
"Jack's right, this continent is too dangerous. There might be monsters like the giant beast we encountered at sea, and we could lose our lives at any moment."
Recalling the giant octopus monster, everyone's faces turned pale.
The scene of the Nix sinking to the seabed yesterday was still vivid in their minds, something they would never forget.
The curly-haired man shrunk his neck, a little fearful, saying,
"No way, if there are monsters on land like there are in the sea, won't we all die here?"
As he spoke, he looked fearfully towards the Giant King Forest.
Last night, roars of beasts had been coming from the forest, keeping everyone at the camp awake.
"There shouldn't be. Land and sea are different," Alice, who was among the group, said.
"Alice is absolutely right!" Jack said with a smile, displaying his gentlemanly demeanor and inviting,
"Miss Alice, you and I are both Europeans. I sincerely invite you to join our small group."
He admired Alice's curvaceous figure, a hidden heat flashing in his eyes.
Alice glanced at Jack and smiled faintly,
"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in any group."
"I just came to hear if you have any good solutions to our current predicament."
She was clear-headed and knew the intentions of Jack and the others.
The gazes of the men were aggressive, and if she hadn't understood that, she would have been taken advantage of long ago.
"That's a real shame."
Jack put on a look of regret, then smiled,
"But since Miss Alice wants to hear our self-rescue plan, I'm happy to share it."
Alice looked surprised and asked, "Self-rescue plan? What plan?"
Jack didn't hide anything and explained their plan.
"There are over two hundred people in the camp now, but we only have enough food for four days."
"If the rescue team still hasn't found us after four days, the people in the camp will surely go hungry, and some might even starve to death."
"So, the way to save everyone is to find a new food source on this new continent, enough for us to hold out until the rescue team arrives!"
After hearing Jack's words, Alice finally understood their plan.
But she still had some doubts: "If that's the case, why not ask Captain Jin Wen to join forces? More people mean more strength, and it would be more convenient to act."
Alice had more to say, which was that Captain Jin Wen had a gun, which would ensure their safety.
"Hmph! Does that boatman deserve to cooperate with us?"
The curly-haired man sneered dismissively, anger appearing on his face!
They had just been threatened by Captain Jin Wen with a gun, which greatly displeased these nobles.
Jack was more polite, but his words were filled with arrogance:
"Our group only invites those of equal status. Jin Wen is just a boatman; we don't mix with him."
Alice was accustomed to their arrogance and found it unsurprising.
But she was even more doubtful whether these people were truly venturing out to find food for everyone in the camp.
She felt hesitant about this. If they said they were venturing out for their own survival, she might believe it a little.
But Jack's explanation was something she simply couldn't accept.
"Let's stop the nonsense. Those who want to explore the new continent, raise your hands. Let's start the adventure!" the curly-haired man said, raising his hand.
As he spoke, seven or eight people followed suit, including two girls.
Jack hesitated for a moment, then finally raised his hand, indicating he would join the expedition into the new continent.
However, he still reminded them, "Don't go too far from the camp. Let's just scout the perimeter first."
"Of course, we're adventuring, not going to our deaths!"
The curly-haired man said happily when everyone had raised their hands.
Alice was the only one left who hadn't raised her hand. Seeing everyone else join the adventure team, she hesitated.
"Alice, you don't want to join our group, but you won't refuse to join us on an adventure, will you?" Jack said with a smile.
The curly-haired man added, "Yeah, it'll be fun to go on an adventure together. Don't worry, we'll protect you girls!"
He patted his chest as a guarantee, and at the same time, revealed a dark handgun.
Alice's pupils contracted slightly, surprised that these people were hiding weapons!
In the end, Alice agreed to join the adventure team and explore the Giant King Forest with them.
But exploring the forest required preparation. They prepared a meal to ensure they wouldn't go hungry at noon.
As for the evening, they would return to the camp and not stay in the forest to sleep with wild beasts.
When Lin Xue heard that Alice was going to explore the forest with Jack and the others, she was stunned.
"Alice, isn't that too dangerous? If there are any wild beasts in the forest, won't you not be able to come back?"
Lin Xue couldn't help but say, though she actually wanted to say that there might be monsters on this new continent, just like the giant octopus they encountered at sea.
Alice was now regretting it, unsure why she had so carelessly agreed.
Hearing Lin Xue say this, she became even more afraid.
However, she still mustered her courage and said resolutely, "It's okay, I'm not afraid. The adventure team has over ten people, and they're armed. Even if we encounter ordinary wild beasts, there won't be any danger."
Lin Xue thought, what if they encountered extraordinary wild beasts?
But she didn't say it, afraid of scaring Alice.
"Alright, since you want to go, I won't stop you. Just be careful," Lin Xue could only say.
To Lin Xue's surprise, Professor Sam also expressed his desire to join the expedition into the forest after hearing about the adventure team, saying he wanted to study the new continent.
"Sis, I want to go on the adventure too!" Lin Zihao said enviously.
Adventurers, he had only seen them in storybooks; he had never seen one in real life.
Now, an exploration team had appeared before him, making him curious.
