After Dai Xiaomei woke up, she glanced at Zhou Niannian beside her and sighed.
But when Zhou Niannian woke up and looked at Jiang Fan on the other side, she realized that Jiang Fan was no longer in the tent.
"What's going on? Did Jiang Fan wake up early to catch fish for us to eat? If so, won't we have food when we wake up?"
After saying this, Zhou Niannian looked at the rope on Jiang Fan's body and found that it had also snapped.
"How could he just break the rope like that? It's too rough. We might need it in the future, and now it's broken, so we can't use it anymore."
As she spoke ill of Jiang Fan and looked at the rope that was snapped beyond recognition, Zhou Niannian couldn't help but complain. However, upon closer thought, she realized that Jiang Fan wasn't usually so careless.
This shouldn't be the case. If Jiang Fan really wanted to untie the rope, he would have told them. Besides, he would never have broken the rope.
After all, he was someone who would secretly stuff some Illusion Fruit into his bag for insurance when he saw it in that paradise.
Facing this rope, how could he possibly waste it so easily? After all, the rope's utility was considerable.
"I think so too, but don't you find it a bit strange, Zhou Niannian? It seems like Jiang Fan isn't usually this careless. If he really wanted to untie the rope, he would have done so carefully to ensure it could be used again."
Hearing this, Zhou Niannian frowned slightly.
"I'm thinking about that. I feel like Jiang Fan shouldn't be this careless. Could something have happened to Jiang Fan?"
Upon hearing this, Dai Xiaomei quickly shook her head.
"How is that possible? This is Jiang Fan. You know how smart and capable he is. If he encountered danger, we would all be dead by now, not sleeping soundly here."
Hearing this, Zhou Niannian was finally relieved and nodded in agreement with Dai Xiaomei.
"I knew it. I also felt it was impossible for something like that to happen, otherwise, he would have told us."
Relieved, Dai Xiaomei and Zhou Niannian went outside together. Looking at the surrounding scenery, they couldn't help but feel the coolness of the sea.
But contrary to their expectations, there was no bonfire lit outside, nor any food they had imagined would be prepared.
"What's going on? Why isn't Jiang Fan out here? Could he have gone into the sea?"
After saying this, Zhou Niannian immediately searched frantically for Jiang Fan along the shore. Although she appeared calm, her inner anxiety was evident to anyone who understood.
Initially, she acted very calmly, but as she walked, she became restless. She scanned her surroundings for Jiang Fan's figure and even started running frantically along the golden coast, searching for any trace of him.
"It's over, Jiang Fan is gone. Could Jiang Fan have encountered some danger?"
Seeing that Jiang Fan was missing, Zhou Niannian began to cry uncontrollably and walked back to the tent in despair.
Now, only Yao could take charge. After all, only Yao's combat power could protect them and he possessed a meticulous mind.
Hearing the commotion, Yao immediately sat up and looked at Dai Xiaomei and Zhou Niannian. He was finally relieved.
After all, Jiang Fan was someone he didn't need to worry about.
But when he looked to his left, he saw that Jiang Fan was nowhere to be found, and the rope connecting to Jiang Fan had also snapped.
"How could it be Jiang Fan? Jiang Fan would absolutely not break this rope. After all, this rope has helped us so many times; he should know its importance."
Hearing these words, Zhou Niannian immediately shook her head, her tears flowing as she sobbed, "Jiang Fan is lost, Jiang Fan was eaten, he's gone, I can't find him."
Hearing Zhou Niannian's words, Yao was incredibly incredulous. What could have happened to make her so afraid?
"What's going on? What happened to Jiang Fan? Where is he now? Why did he disappear so suddenly?"
At this moment, Dai Xiaomei, remaining relatively rational, walked over to Yao.
"Yao, when we woke up this morning, we thought Jiang Fan wasn't in the tent and had gone to prepare food for us outside. But when we went out, we couldn't find any trace of Jiang Fan. After searching for a long time, we still didn't find him, so we came back to tell you."
Hearing this, Yao's brow furrowed. He immediately woke up Gun Gun, who, upon realizing Jiang Fan was not beside him, also assumed Jiang Fan had prepared food.
When Gun Gun ran outside, he discovered that Jiang Fan was not there.
"No need to look anymore, Jiang Fan is gone. Dai Xiaomei and Zhou Niannian already searched once. Jiang Fan has probably encountered something and gotten lost."
Gun Gun was also incredibly surprised. Although his combat power was immense, he had witnessed Jiang Fan's fighting skills, which were extraordinary. Now, he was simply gone.
Gun Gun roared frantically, as if trying to make Jiang Fan hear his voice and respond immediately.
However, Jiang Fan did not respond at all, and Gun Gun could not find any clues. He could only rage impotently, roaring continuously, hoping to find Jiang Fan in this way.
"It's no use, Gun Gun. Hurry up and pack your things; we need to go look for Jiang Fan's traces."
Hearing this, Gun Gun immediately ran towards Yao, and then they both left the tent together.
"Damn it, this shouldn't be happening. Could it be that Jiang Fan obtained something incredible, just like that Illusion Fruit, and he also experienced hallucinations?"
Upon hearing this, Dai Xiaomei expressed that Yao's words were very reasonable.
"I think that's the most likely scenario. After all, didn't Jiang Fan take the Illusion Fruit and hide it in his bag back then? What if he accidentally inhaled some of the powder and lost his mind?"
"So, does that mean he's in the same place I was last time?"
