Chapter 111

Although Xiao Tangqiu knew that it wouldn’t be easy to leave Revival Island, when the middle-aged man said “can never leave” in that mysterious tone, he couldn’t help but feel a chill.

Bai Yushan coldly demanded, “Take us to that Sacred Tree.”

The middle-aged man immediately fought back fiercely, “No! Never go out after dark!”

Bai Yushan was impatient, “Hurry up!”

The middle-aged man suddenly looked terrified and his expression twitched. Xiao Tangqiu subconsciously took a step back. The next moment, the middle-aged man’s eyes rolled up and he fell down.

Xiao Tangqiu quickly went up and took a look, then reluctantly said, “He passed out from fear...” This guy obviously wasn’t scared into fainting by them, but by whatever he imagined.

“Useless waste!” Bai Yushan kicked the middle-aged man angrily.

Tang Mianmian leaned over to the window and looked out, “After those people entered the houses, no one came out. Now there is no one outside.”

Xiao Tangqiu frowned, “Those newbies...”

Although there were more important things to do than bringing along newbies, it was after all a few vibrant lives, living on just earlier.

“In any case, let’s tell them. It can be considered a last kindness.” Xiao Tangqiu glanced at the others and said.

Xue Junli nodded, “They should still be on the beach, so we can verify that what the guy said just now is true along the way.”

Bai Yushan frowned, “We should find the Sacred Tree first! The Sacred Tree is probably the key!”

“That’s true, we are definitely going to look for the Sacred Tree, but I think we should search this village first-“

Xiao Tangqiu was interrupted by Bai Yushan. “Go to the Sacred Tree first! This village is not important at all!”

Xiao Tangqiu frowned, “But...”

Bai Yushan looked agitated, “Stop wasting time! Go find the Sacred Tree!”

Xiao Tangqiu frowned. Bai Yushan’s character had become more and more crazed. Once she had an idea in her head, she would no longer listen to anyone’s opinions. Even ten bulls couldn’t reverse it.

Xue Junli said lightly, “The Sacred Tree should be the key, but we should first understand the specific situation of this village and this island, Bai Yushan, you are no longer a novice, don’t make such low-level mistakes.”

“I just don’t want to waste time!” Bai Yushan sneered, “Otherwise we can split up! I’ll go to the Sacred Tree, and you can take your time!”

Before Xue Junli could answer, she turned around and stormed out.

“This crazy woman&#k2026;” Duan Hongzhen snorted.

Xue Junli frowned, “Forget it, let her go. Let’s go to the gravel beach first.”

Everyone made up their minds and set off toward the beach they arrived at.

On the way, Xiao Tangqiu couldn’t help but assess the other houses. He just noticed that those with more modern outfits entered the more elaborately built bamboo houses, and those with more primitive outfits entered the rough ones which were randomly piled up with stones.

What did these two distinct types of people represent? Were they all islanders?

No, the middle-aged man whom they questioned just now obviously came to this island from outside. So how did he come here? Were all the other modernly dressed people like him? Were those who dress up primitively the native islanders? How could these two kinds of people get along so harmoniously?

Soon, they returned to where they came from. Xiao Tangqiu heard a scream as soon as they stepped onto the gravel beach, “Ahhhhh! Help! Help!”

Xiao Tangqiu rushed over and saw someone struggling desperately in the water near the beach. It was the newbie who argued with them before. He was flailing around in the water as if he couldn’t swim.

The newbies on the shore looked at each other, shocked and hesitant. At this moment, a young man quickly took off his clothes, “I’ll go!”

However, just as he was about to go into the water, ripples suddenly appeared around the newbie who fell into the water.

In the blink of an eye, the newbie disappeared silently, leaving only a small whirlpool behind that instantly returned to the original calm.

The young man was stunned along with everyone else. That guy? Drowned?

Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian looked at each other. It seemed that that guy was right. Once on the island, no one could leave.

Xue Junli took a step forward and said in a calm tone, “We just went and found out that there is no easy way to leave this island. You have also seen that people sink when they fall into the water. We heard that there is no food on the island and no fish in the sea. In addition, it’s best not to walk around randomly after nightfall. You can make your own decisions about what to do next.”

The couple of newbies looked at each other and obviously didn’t believe Xue Junli’s words. But they did just witness a man inexplicably sinking, disappearing instantly without even a trace of struggle.

At this moment, Xiao Tangqiu suddenly said, “Have you realized? The sea here is extremely clear. There is no trace of impurities in the sea, not even a single piece of sand.”

Duan Hongzhen raised his eyebrows, “So what?”

Xiao Tangqiu didn’t speak. He picked up a fallen leaf from the shore and threw it into the sea. The fallen leaf floated on the surface of the sea for less than a few seconds before it soon spiraled and sank.

Everyone was shocked. The seawater here didn’t have the slightest buoyancy. Even fallen leaves would sink to the bottom, not to mention the person who fell into the water just now!

“No wonder it’s so clear. It’s because the sand and dirt just sink to the bottom,” Duan Hongzhen reacted, “So there are no fish because the fish can’t float.”

A newbie murmured, “There are no fish in the sea, and there is no food on the island?”

“That’s what we were told. No food can be grown on the island. All native plants are extremely poisonous,” Xiao Tangqiu said lightly. “But rest assured. Our mission is to escape the island in a day. It shouldn’t be an issue to not eat for a day, right?”

“It doesn’t matter if we don’t eat for a day, so will we succeed as long as we survive this day?” the newbie asked.

Duan Hongzhen raised his eyebrows and said, “Yes, either you starve to death without eating for a day, or the mission fails and we’re directly obliterated after a day.”

“...Why is it all death?” The newbie was pale.

“If you can’t complete the task, you are indeed dead,” Xue Junli said bluntly, “We have a clue now, and we are going to try it next. Do as you like.”

The newbie immediately asked, “Can we join you?”

Xue Junli refused without hesitation, “No.”

The newbie was very unwilling, “Why?”

Duan Hongzhen raised his eyebrows, “Of course it’s because you will be dragging our feet.”

Those newbies were unhappy but helpless. As pale little novices who had no idea what was going on, they really couldn’t help much.

“Let’s go back to the village to check if we can find clues related to the Sacred Tree first.” After Xue Junli finished talking to the Reincarnation Team team members, he glanced at the newbies, “You can hide in the village. The place we are going is dangerous, and we can barely protect ourselves.”

The newbies looked at each other for a while, then nodded, “Then, let’s go to the village too.”

Xiao Tangqiu looked up at the sky, “It’s getting dark...”

What would happen after dark?

Tang Mianmian shivered suddenly, “It seems that the temperature has dropped and suddenly become cold.”

“The temperature difference on the island is likely to be very large. Let’s go back to the village first.”

The sky began to darken, and everyone headed back to the village. Xiao Tangqiu looked at their environment secretly as he walked. He couldn’t help but keep looking at the trees beside them because the middle-aged man mentioned that the native plants on this island were very poisonous.

These trees didn’t seem to be any kind of trees he had ever seen. They had a very strange appearance. The dark bark had sharp thorns, there were very few leaves, and there was a hole in the center of the trunk the height of half of a person. It was so dark that nothing could be seen in it, and at first glance, it looked like a person with a gaping mouth.

Pretty much all of the trees on the island were like this; not that tall, only a little taller than people, but very dense, almost growing out of each other, which made Xiao Tangqiu more confused.

Although he didn’t know much about plants, he also knew that plants need sunlight to grow. Since they needed sunlight to grow, these trees should be more spread out. How could they ensure that there would be enough sunlight if they grew so closely together?

“We’re here.”

They returned to the village. Although the sky was getting dark, there was no light source in the whole village, and it was dark everywhere.

Xue Junli frowned, “Where are the people?”

They first returned to the house they had left, only to discover that the fainted middle-aged man was nowhere to be found. Then they kicked open the doors of other houses one by one, only to find that everyone else had also disappeared.

“There is no one in the village.”

Duan Hongzhen stroked his chin, “Where did those people go? Are they hiding?”

Yu Fuling takes a step forward, “I’ll take a look.”

The newbies immediately looked at Yu Fuling curiously. Yu Fuling closed her eyes and did not move. After a while, she opened her eyes and said coldly, “...There is no one around here except us.”

“Although your detection range is limited, we only left for a few minutes. It is impossible for them to get out of your detection range in such a short period of time,” Xue Junli frowned, “...Where did those people go?”

Xiao Tangqiu looked around, wondering if it was seeing things, but the woods surrounding the village seemed to be denser than before.

Night fell completely.
