"Why are these things so huge?"
After Zhou Niannian finished speaking, Jiang Fan was also very puzzled. He didn't understand why. Although the trees and insects above were enormous, it could at least be explained by the oxygen content.
But now, by the sea, it didn't make sense. The trees here hadn't changed much, but the creatures were abnormally large.
Fortunately, the two of them were hiding in a cave. If they were still by the sea now, they would likely have been killed by these things.
It wasn't just by the sea; it was very dangerous even in the water, as these creatures seemed to have no restrictions on their movements in the sea.
Moreover, they moved even faster when swimming in the water. Jiang Fan looked at the colossal products and couldn't help but sigh.
"It seems that it won't be easy for us to get out."
"Tomorrow, we can only go out after these things have returned to the sand or the sea. Otherwise, if we fight with them, the two of us will be truly finished."
"I guess the reason we haven't encountered Dai Xiaomei here is that she's also hiding. After all, things here are so huge; if she were running around outside, she would have already encountered danger."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Niannian nodded in agreement with Jiang Fan's thoughts.
However, she was extremely anxious because if Dai Xiaomei had encountered these monsters, it would be disastrous.
Jiang Fan, worried that Zhou Niannian was thinking too much, quickly told her to rest.
"Don't waste any more time. We need to rest quickly because we still need to find Dai Xiaomei tomorrow. If we spend too much time tonight, we will be exhausted when looking for her tomorrow."
"You must want to find Dai Xiaomei as soon as possible, right? If so, then get some rest quickly. Otherwise, when we look for her tomorrow, we'll still be very tired, and that would be terrible."
Zhou Niannian naturally understood what Jiang Fan meant. Seeing that he had said this to her, she immediately nodded and then lay down on the weeds.
Seeing that Zhou Niannian had started to rest, Jiang Fan quickly lay down as well.
Although the two of them were close by, they didn't say a word. It seemed they both realized how awkward it was to be in this small cave.
With the slightest movement, they could sense each other's presence, and a simple turn would lead to an embrace.
Helplessly, Jiang Fan and Zhou Niannian ended up back-to-back, turning almost simultaneously. The synchronicity made them even more embarrassed.
However, neither of them said anything. They just lay there slowly until the next morning when the sounds outside completely disappeared, and a strong wind began to blow.
Jiang Fan looked at Zhou Niannian sleeping soundly beside him. He didn't wake her up but left her in the cave, worried about her encountering danger if she went out with him.
Then, Jiang Fan covered Zhou Niannian with the nearby grass. As Zhou Niannian was still asleep, Jiang Fan quietly slipped out.
"How should I search? I've been searching all day, and with so many monsters around, I haven't found any trace of Dai Xiaomei."
In fact, Jiang Fan himself felt somewhat helpless. After all, finding Dai Xiaomei on such a large island was no easy task.
But at that moment, Jiang Fan suddenly noticed that some monsters on his side had not yet returned. As soon as they saw Jiang Fan, they charged towards him.
It was a mantis shrimp. Looking at its scythe-like claws, Jiang Fan was stunned. He never expected that the mantis shrimp's claws would be like two cleavers.
And because of their size, these two blades looked very heavy.
How could Jiang Fan's axe possibly block this? It was estimated that even a touch from this scythe would make Jiang Fan's axe tremble.
Seeing this, Jiang Fan immediately turned and fled, luring it into the jungle.
"Damn it, why didn't I see this beast just now? I didn't expect it to be waiting for me on the shore."
Upon seeing the mantis shrimp, Jiang Fan fled madly, leading it into the jungle. To his surprise, the mantis shrimp's scythes were unbelievably sharp. With just a swing, the trees in front of them fell down in a neat line.
If Jiang Fan had run in the jungle for a longer period, the entire jungle would have become bare.
Perhaps hearing a slight noise as Jiang Fan passed the cave, Zhou Niannian immediately looked outside.
However, when Zhou Niannian looked outside, she couldn't find any trace of Jiang Fan. Looking at the weeds around her, she knew that Jiang Fan must have gone to find Dai Xiaomei by himself.
But hearing the noise just now, Zhou Niannian didn't dare to go out easily. She knew that going out carelessly would only cause trouble for Jiang Fan.
Accidentally, she might encounter something that would cost her life.
"No, I definitely cannot cause any trouble for Jiang Fan. I'll wait for him here. He'll probably come back after he's done searching. If I go out now, I'll only be a burden to him."
Zhou Niannian knew her combat strength. If she went out now, she would probably lose her life outside, as the sounds outside were so loud that there must be some monsters lurking.
Although her heart was full of anxiety and she desperately wanted to go out to search for Jiang Fan and Dai Xiaomei, she knew her combat strength and decided to wait for Jiang Fan in the cave.
"I absolutely cannot go out. Zhou Niannian, you must hold on. Don't be tempted by new things."
Listening to the trees outside falling frantically in a straight line, Zhou Niannian was very curious.
She wanted to peek outside but then remembered that there might be monsters outside. If they found her, they would kill her directly, so she was conflicted about whether to look.
Fortunately, at the last moment, she overcame herself and suppressed her curiosity.
"No, I absolutely cannot create any trouble for Jiang Fan. He's not in any danger alone outside, but if I were with him, it wouldn't necessarily be the same."
