I saw Xiao He shake his head directly.

"I know you've come here looking for something, or perhaps you have your own purposes, but right now I just want to stay peacefully and leave this godforsaken place when the opportunity arises. If you're planning to stay with us, then of course we're delighted to have friends coming from afar. But if you're looking for what you're after, then I'm really sorry, I can't accompany you. So please do as you please."

After hearing what I said, Xiao He looked at me with a smile in his eyes, but I could feel that his aura had suddenly changed.

After hearing what I said, Yang Rui immediately called Xiao He, but I still saw it.

Xiao He chuckled and nodded, "Since Brother Zhao means it this way, I understand. Alright, I'll go take a break first, you go ahead and do your work."

After Xiao He finished speaking, he turned around and went back to their campfire, but Yang Rui did not leave.

After seeing Xiao He walk away, Yang Rui turned to me and said, "You were right not to go with him. That kid is full of bad intentions. If you had gone with him, you would have been in serious trouble."

I absolutely do not believe that Yang Rui would be so kind as to tell me here what Xiao He really meant.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Yang Rui was so badly injured before, I don't even know if it was because Xiao He beat him up.

However, judging from the details of their current interactions, it's impossible to tell whether they are friends or enemies.

I was too lazy to say anything more to Yang Rui and turned to go back, but Yang Rui grabbed me and whispered, "Xiao He and the others came here to find something. I only just found out about it myself. I'm sure you're curious about it too. Do you want to know?"

I shook off Yang Rui's hand and looked at him coldly, saying, "I've never liked people beating around the bush with me. If you really want to tell me, just say it directly. If you're just trying to pique my interest, I'm sorry, I'm just too tired. I just want to sleep for a while. I'm not interested in anything else."

Yang Rui looked at me and gritted his teeth: "Zhao Sihai, the thing they're looking for can bring a person back to life and even prolong their life. Aren't you curious about it?"

When I heard Yang Rui say this, I was suddenly shocked. Is there anything in this world that can bring people back to life and prolong their lives?

Could it be that there's another Tang Monk on this deserted island?

However, I quickly shook off this absurd idea.

Tang Sanzang is a fictional character who never existed.

What exactly is it that has such a magical effect?

Yang Rui looked at me and whispered, "Xiao He and the others are probably part of an organization, employed by someone who wants something that can prolong life. That's why they sent Xiao He and the others here. But they haven't found it after searching for so long. Perhaps they think you have a lucky constitution, so they want to take you with them. I advise you not to go with them. Otherwise, once they've used you, they'll discard you like a used tool."

I stared at Yang Rui for a long time, trying to discern whether what he said was true or false, but for a long time I still couldn't figure out how much truth there was in what Yang Rui said.

I looked at Yang Rui, smiled, and shook my head: "No matter what, this has nothing to do with me. Birth, aging, sickness, and death are all part of life. I don't want to defy fate. As for what you've said, I understand. Thank you."

After saying that, I turned around and went back to the campfire.

Wang Ping and his friends were making grilled fish, saying they wanted to take this opportunity to stock up on more dry rations.

After all, we probably can't get back the supplies we had stored in our camp, so we'll have to start all over again, which will be extremely difficult.

Fortunately, we were all quite united this time, so we moved quickly and had a clear division of labor.

Some of the male colleagues went fishing, while the female colleagues washed the fish clean at the beach and gave them to Bai Wei and the others.

Bai Wei and the others grilled the fish and put it into the iron basins we had snatched back.

I was really tired. After all, I hadn't had a proper rest for the past few days. But seeing all my loved ones around me, the tension in my body gradually eased.

Wang Ping patted my shoulder and gestured toward the tent: "Sihai, go and rest. We'll keep watch here, don't worry."

I nodded, admitting that I couldn't hold on any longer, so I didn't stand on ceremony with Wang Ping.

He turned around and went into the tent, lay down next to Wang Xiaoxiao, and soon fell asleep.

I thought I would have a peaceful night's sleep, but before I had slept for long, chaos suddenly broke out outside the camp. Then I heard Chen Jian yelling my name in a terrified voice.

I was startled and was about to get up when I noticed that Wang Xiaoxiao was also awake. Wang Xiaoxiao looked very pale and was tightly clutching my clothes: "Sihai, what's wrong? What happened again?"

I quickly reached out and touched her head, then looked at Tianci.

"I don't know what's happening outside yet, but you just need to stay safely in the tent and don't move. Leave the rest to me."

After saying that, I immediately picked up the machete in my hand and rushed out of the tent.

The moment I ran out, a dark shadow rushed towards me, but thankfully my instincts, honed over the years, saved my life.

I dodged to the side, then suddenly raised my hand, swung it, and with a swift motion, the cleaver sliced ​​the dark figure to the ground.

It was only after falling behind that they discovered that these were actually the dark vines that had dragged Xu Wei into the woods that day.

Everyone in the camp was on edge, armed with all sorts of weapons, desperately fighting against the vines burrowing into the sand.

Xiao He and Yang Rui had already run up to us. After seeing the situation, Xiao He shouted at us, "These vines are afraid of iron. Quickly, make a circle around all the iron objects, and they won't be able to attack us."

I suddenly remembered that Xiao He did say something like that that day.

But where are we going to find so much ironware now?

However, I quickly called Wang Ping and Chen Jian, and they surrounded the tent where Wang Xiaoxiao was staying.

Bai Wei and his men immediately took out their weapons and machetes and began to fight the vines. Fortunately, the vines were indeed afraid of these iron weapons.

All the vines that had been cut by the iron tools fell to the ground and remained motionless.

However, there are just too many of these vines. If there were only a dozen or so, we could manage.

But now there are probably hundreds or even thousands rushing out of the woods and spreading around us, looking like venomous snakes determined to take our lives.
