Shen Yuan seemed to still be unconscious, but he had been holding his right hand tightly with such strength that when he just woke up, he thought his right hand was pressed by something heavy.

Xiao Tangqiu recalled that Shen Yuan had indeed pounced on him before he fell unconscious, and he lost consciousness after that. It seemed that Shen Yuan had successfully caught him in the whirlpool and did not let go even after he lost consciousness... The original uneasiness in his heart gradually disappeared. Although he found himself surrounded by a dozen men with fierce expressions and weapons when he woke up, he was suddenly not so scared when he thought that Shen Yuan was right next to him.

At this moment, Shen Yuan also woke up.

He seemed not to notice his surroundings, and his first reaction was to look at Xiao Tangqiu in the direction of his hand.

Xiao Tangqiu quickly winked at Shen Yuan, signaling him to pay attention to the surrounding environment.

Shen Yuan looked at Xiao Tangqiu deeply, then casually looked at the dozen or so strong men surrounding them. Compared with Xiao Tangqiu, he was obviously much calmer.

Xiao Tangqiu originally thought that a fierce battle would follow, but after the scarred man glared at him fiercely, he did not drop the axe in his hand, but simply waved to the people behind him: "Take these two people away!"

"Boss! These two are holding us back!"

"What do you know? No one knows what dangers are in that cave, so of course someone has to go ahead! Otherwise, why don't you lead the way?"

"Boss, you're wise!"

In short, before Xiao Tangqiu could figure out the situation, he was tied up by a dozen strong men who looked like pirates and pushed forward.

Xiao Tangqiu looked at Shen Yuan in surprise. Although these ten or so pirates had the advantage in numbers, they would probably not be enough to defeat Shen Yuan in a real fight. Why was Shen Yuan willing to be tied up?

Shen Yuan noticed Xiao Tangqiu's gaze and said coldly in a low voice, "This might be a plot."

Xiao Tangqiu realized that this was the first NPC they had met in this dungeon who would actively talk to them, and it was very likely to be an important plot.

What is "that cave"? Is it a cave where treasure is hidden?

So he also took advantage of the situation and prepared to wait and see how things would develop. However, apart from him and Shen Yuan, no one else seemed to be here. He didn't know if they were swept away by the whirlpool, or...

He sighed, and while being pushed forward by the pirates, he quietly looked around.

This is undoubtedly an island, surrounded by the vast ocean, and the land under their feet is not connected to other continents. It is just an independent island in the center of the ocean. I don’t know if it is Xiao Tangqiu’s illusion, but he always feels that the shape of the beach where they were washed ashore is very similar to a huge whale’s tail, with two fan-shaped beaches.

However, this discovery did not catch his attention for too long. He soon turned to thinking about why he and Shen Yuan appeared here, and why they did not die at the bottom of the sea after being caught in the whirlpool?

A moment later, they had crossed half of the island when the scarred man suddenly shouted, "Damn it! Someone's already got there first!"

There were some messy footprints on the ground, and it looked like they had been there not long ago. Xiao Tangqiu subconsciously looked at Shen Yuan. Could it be Tang Mianmian and the others?

"No! We have to hurry! We must get there before those people!" The scarred man gave an order, and they began to speed up their journey. Xiao Tangqiu also had to quicken his pace.
