Obviously, she wasn't intentionally mocking these monsters, but rather trying to make the bewildered Xiao Mei feel a bit better. However, her words were so exaggerated that Jiang Fan and everyone else nearby found them hard to stomach.
Although the monsters hadn't caused them any harm so far, it was mainly because their team had three powerful combatants.
"Alright, let's rest for today. I estimate everyone is quite tired, and your clothes should be dry by now. Resting now is perfect. Remember, do not wander off from each other. When you wake up tomorrow, we will search for clues together."
Because Jiang Fan knew this matter was incredibly bizarre, he didn't let Xiao Mei's footprints simply scatter with the wind. Instead, he chose to place some markers there for calculation.
Later, by returning to these markers, they could easily retrace Xiao Mei's path.
Following these tracks would significantly reduce the difficulty of their search and help them quickly find out what had blinded Xiao Mei's judgment.
This day, Xue Ti had stayed awake all night, fearing an encounter with the man in black. She was terrified and held onto Zhou Nian Nian beside her.
Zhou Nian Nian, on the other hand, was sound asleep, not considering any problems at all. Before sleeping, she already knew that Jiang Fan was also awake, sitting by the door with Yao, guarding everyone inside the small tent.
"Do you think this island is as peaceful as it appears? Could it be that it hides secrets and is deliberately lulling us into a false sense of security?"
Yao, standing beside her, pondered for a moment before asking this question. Jiang Fan immediately nodded upon hearing this.
"I've thought about this long ago. I also suspect the same. This island is unlike other places. Its adventurous nature strikes me as bizarre. Although we are enjoying ourselves freely on this island, everything here is too peaceful, making it hard for me to believe."
"Look at the seven moons in the sky. Clearly, we are still under observation. Therefore, we must remain vigilant. This might not be the rest stop we imagined."
Initially, Jiang Fan had noticed the seven moons in the sky but thought it was merely a place for them to rest. He hadn't expected so many strange things to happen one after another, including a colossal forest in the sky.
"Regardless, tomorrow we will follow the clues. We don't know what's happening now. All we can do is follow the clues. Otherwise, we have no other options."
Upon hearing this, Yao slowly nodded.
Indeed, there was nothing else they could do now but continue walking on this island.
After finding clues, they would see if there was anything else to discover, or perhaps the exit to the next stage.
To be honest, they still didn't know if this was the final stage, but they were certain that this place was not simple.
If this place were as peaceful as they imagined, they wouldn't have encountered so many monsters here. Jiang Fan had a profound experience; after leaving the island for only a short distance, he found that the monsters on this island were as enormous as those above.
After speaking with Yao, Yao also expressed his astonishment. He clearly remembered that when he went to Shadow Island, it was calm and serene. However, as soon as they landed, a massive wave suddenly swept over the island.
Considering that brewing a wave takes a very long time, the appearance of a wave so easily was an impossibility.
The highest probability was that the environment was deliberately targeting them.
All they could do now was continue searching for clues on the island. If they could find any clues related to the exit of this enormous beast's lure, they would leave without hesitation.
Because it was clear that this place was no longer safe.
After a while, Jiang Fan and Yao beside him drifted off to sleep. They didn't say much more and simply went to bed, having stood guard the entire night and found no abnormalities.
At this very moment, in a dark corner of the island, a golden light was emanating, periodically spewing out golden smoke.
This golden smoke also seemed to emit a peculiar scent that drifted far away.
The next morning, Xiao Mei prepared to get up and wash herself.
However, when she reached the entrance of the tent, she stopped. Recalling what had happened before, she felt fearful. She was afraid to wander around lest something happened.
"Zhou Nian Nian, why don't we go outside to wash up together? I don't dare go alone."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Nian Nian was very considerate of Xiao Mei.
Knowing that Xiao Mei was scared, she agreed to go with her.
"Let's go. If you need to use the restroom, I'll accompany you."
After saying this, Sister Nian Nian felt relieved and walked out of the tent.
As they walked out together, they discovered that Jiang Fan and Yao had already prepared the food. Since they had woken up early, they had diligently prepared everything they needed on the island.
They thought the sooner they finished this task, the better, as the longer it dragged on, the more dangerous it would become. If it dragged on until night, they couldn't guarantee their safety.
"You're awake? Good. Once you're awake, let's go search for clues together. Let's eat these fish first, and then we'll set out immediately."
Hearing this, Xiao Mei and Zhou Nian Nian quickly nodded. After washing up, they sat on a small wooden stake and began eating fish.
Soon, Yao and Gun Gun also woke up and joined them for breakfast.
"It seems today will require a great deal of effort from us, otherwise, why would we be eating so well?"
"Are you all ready?"
