I glanced at him coldly, too lazy to talk nonsense with him.

No one was willing to intervene, and the atmosphere suddenly cooled. He glanced at Da Fei from the corner of his eye and happened to catch his frequent blinking, which was a hint at the lackey.

The lackey was indeed a lackey, and his attitude immediately changed after receiving the hint from his master. He trembled and bowed his head, pretending to be a waiter, and no longer had the arrogant look he had just had.

"Brother Chen Fei, you are so magnanimous. I just said something wrong. I'll slap you in the face, slap you in the face." He put on a full show, slapping himself several times with both hands. Although I couldn't feel the force, it was just a pretense. I couldn't put on airs either, since he was so humble.

"Alright, alright, what's going on? I'm not some vicious person like Shennong. Look how scared you are." I forced myself to put on a smiling face and helped up his bent body.

"I see everyone's pretty tired today, so why don't we take a break? We have plenty of food and water anyway, so there's no need to push ourselves too hard."

Then I told her in detail what happened last night, and without caring about what others thought, I lay down on the empty space next to Qin Lan and fell asleep. You guys are almost done sleeping, so you should let me rest for a while.

Accompanied by bursts of noise, I fell asleep. This sleep lasted from dawn to dusk and was extremely long.

When I slowly woke up, I smelled the aroma of fish. Qin Lan was grilling a few small fish in front of me. The aroma was so fragrant that it aroused the appetite in my stomach.

I closed my eyes tightly and opened them again. I felt that the fatigue had been driven away, and was replaced by a full sense of strength. I felt that eating a few more fish to fill my stomach would be enough. I will definitely be able to find that inexplicable creature tonight. I will definitely gain something tonight.

Qin Lan, perhaps seeing how hard I'd worked these past few days, was so kind that she handed me half of the grilled fish—three large ones. I don't know how this young lady managed to get all these fish, but it gave me a new perspective on her survival skills. Perhaps this is the saying, "When you've been away for three days, you'll see things with new eyes." Harsh environments can stimulate the body's hidden potential, and we can only say that human potential is limitless.

"Thanks, Qin Lan." I didn't bother to be polite and grabbed a piece of fish, munching on it with big mouthfuls. Could someone learn this skill without a teacher? I was puzzled. While the fish was a little burnt in places, it didn't affect its overall appearance or taste. Maybe it was just because I was so hungry that everything tasted delicious.

After finishing, I cleaned up briefly and set some simple traps with them. When the enemy attacks, there's no perfect plan, so we have to take some simple precautions to avoid being in a completely powerless and passive state like yesterday.

"Brothers, I've rested well this morning, so I'll be the one keeping watch tonight. You guys take a break first." As the night grew a little darker, I said this to everyone. They all fell asleep without further objection. Qin Lan gave me a trusting look, then closed her eyes and fell asleep.

For the first half of the night, I kept my eyes wide open, observing every move at the scene.

All I can say is, they're truly resilient in their battles. I firmly believe they'll come back for more after their loss last night. No one on this island can tolerate an invasion of their territory. Just like those bandits who rule the land, they can't tolerate passersby not leaving a toll, and they can't tolerate the government forcing them into action in the name of justice.

Soon it was the second half of the night, and the sky was slightly brighter.

"Ah——" A sharp scream was heard. I could tell from the voice that the person who fell into our trap was a woman.

The prey has taken the bait, I thought to myself.
