Shen Jue realized that the stone statue had been discovered by everyone together.

If they were to trigger a mission now, it wouldn't be similar to theirs.

Lin Jiao breathed on her hands to warm them, "Why are there stone statues here?"

Mu Sheng touched his chin, which was covered by a cold-proof mask, and said encouragingly in a deep voice, "In any case, this is our first discovery in the past two days besides those strange creatures, so it's a good thing."

"Keep digging! There's definitely something down there, keep going!"

Mu Sheng encouraged the others present and continued digging downwards himself.

Shen Jue originally didn't want to dig anymore because her Illusory Eyes told her that there was nothing left to dig down there, but she had no choice but to dig, since her teammates were frantically digging at her, and it would seem strange if she didn't.

It took half a day, and it was almost dark.

Mu Sheng threw down the hoe in his hand. "Let's stop digging. It seems there's nothing here. Let's pack up and go back to rest."

After they stopped digging, they prepared to go back to rest. However, on the way back, Shen Jue felt as if a pair of eyes were watching them from the shadows.

Lin Jiao also felt uneasy and stayed close to the middle of the group.

Although Mu Sheng also noticed something was wrong, he didn't make a fuss in order to keep everyone calm.

When they returned to the cabin, they found that some items had been rummaged through, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

The group exchanged glances, a sense of unease rising within them.

Mu Sheng frowned and said in a deep voice, "It seems someone came here while we were away. Everyone, carefully check to see if any important items are missing."

They began to carefully check their belongings, and thankfully found nothing important missing.

But this situation has made everyone even more nervous.

Shen Jue pondered to himself, who was secretly watching them, and why was they rummaging through their belongings?

Her deluded eyes could not see the secret behind it.

Lin Jiao gripped Mu Sheng's arm tightly, her voice trembling as she asked, "What exactly is going on? Are we in danger?"

Mu Sheng patted her hand and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, let's calm down first. From now on, everyone needs to be more careful, and more people will take turns keeping watch at night."

As night fell, a tense atmosphere permeated the campsites, both inside and out.

Lin Jiao's eyes widened as she warily observed the surrounding movements.

She slowly breathed a sigh of relief and hoped that nothing would happen tonight.

Inside Shen Jue's tent, Shen Jue was already lying down safely.

Zhao Keke then lay down in the sleeping bag next to her.

"Boss Shen, someone was rummaging through our things during the day. Aren't you worried at all?"

Shen Jue slightly opened her eyes, looked at the top of the tent, and said softly, "What good will worrying do? Since we're here, we might as well make the best of it. Besides, worrying now won't help."

Zhao Keke frowned and said, "Are we just going to wait like this? What if that person comes again?"

Shen Jue was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "We can only be more vigilant and wait for an opportunity. Perhaps we can start with that stone statue and see if we can find some clues."

Zhao Keke nodded thoughtfully, then said worriedly, "But there's nothing under that stone statue."

Shen Jue narrowed his eyes slightly. "Not necessarily. I'm not omnipotent either. Perhaps we've overlooked something."

"Go to sleep, you've had a long day, get some rest."

"Um."

Just then, a slight sound came from outside.

Lin Jiao immediately tensed up, gripped her weapon tightly, and whispered, "Who?"

There was complete silence around them, and no one responded.

Lin Jiao's heart suddenly raced. She slowly stood up and carefully walked toward the direction from which the sound came.

Shen Jue and Zhao Keke also heard the commotion. They quickly got up and went out of the tent. They saw Lin Jiao standing not far away, nervously staring into the darkness ahead.

"What's wrong?" Shen Jue asked softly.

Lin Jiao said in a trembling voice, "I think I heard something, but I'm not sure what it was."

Mu Sheng also came out of another tent. He cautiously observed his surroundings and said in a deep voice, "Everyone be careful, there may be someone nearby."

The group stood back to back, nervously watching their surroundings. However, after waiting for a long time, they heard no more sounds.

Mu Sheng frowned and said, "Maybe we're just too nervous and are hallucinating."

Shen Jue shook his head. "No, I think there was definitely a sound just now. We can't let our guard down."

"Everyone, go back and get some rest. I've set up a barrier card, so everyone can get a good night's sleep tonight," Xia Xiyue said at the right moment.

After this incident, the group decided on who would keep watch, and the others returned to their tents to rest.

Shen Jue and Zhao Keke returned to their tent.

I lay down and didn't chat much.

Hearing the familiar breathing beside him, Shen Jue knew that Zhao Keke had fallen asleep.

Shen Jue: [System, view the text version of the plot.]

August is a talented young writer with a unique understanding of the wind. In search of creative inspiration, she travels to a mysterious island with her lover, Han Dong.

This island is tranquil and beautiful, with a gentle sea breeze that seems to provide an endless source of inspiration for August.

During her time on the island, August often went out alone, feeling the caress of the wind and recording every spark of inspiration.

However, as time went on, August's behavior became increasingly strange.

It was written in the diary during the cold winter.

In August, I sometimes murmured to myself in the air, and sometimes lingered for a long time in some strange places.

Until one day, August suddenly vanished without a trace.

In the dead of winter, I was extremely anxious, searching everywhere but to no avail.

All that remained was the diary that recorded August's strange behavior, with the last page reading "August is gone."

Later, during the search for August, Han Dong discovered a uniquely shaped rock.

Han Dong felt that this strange stone might be related to August's disappearance, so he carefully kept it.

Then, in the dead of winter, another bloodstained, unidentified body was discovered in a secluded corner.

The corpse filled Winter with fear and unease; he had no idea what terrible thing had happened on the island.

He thought he had to get out of here as soon as possible.

Before leaving the island, for some unknown reason, Han Dong returned to the island. This time, he found a human-shaped stone sculpture.

The stone carvings are so lifelike, they seem to have their own soul.
