Looking at Wang Ping's serious expression, I knew he would never joke about something like this with me.

So he immediately reached out and pinched a little of the white powder from Wang Ping's palm, placing it on his own hand.

But after looking at it for a while, I still couldn't find anything wrong with it.

But since Wang Ping said that, it means there must be something going on.

"Don't tell anyone about this yet. If you suspect it's true, then Xiao He and the others must have their own reasons for taking us there. We just need to follow them for now."

Wang Ping nodded and said softly, "That's what I think too, but if things are really as we suspect, will we have any chance of getting away after we go there with them?"

To be honest, Wang Ping's concern is exactly what I'm worried about. Although Xiao He's group only has five people left now, plus Yang Rui, there are six of them.

Our group consisted of nearly 30 people scattered around, but I didn't know what kind of weapons Xiao He and his group had, nor did I know whether the place was dangerous.

If Xiao He and his group just wanted to lead us to test the waters for them, then this matter has already exceeded what we can accept.

But we've already set off, and if we change our route at the last minute, Xiao He and the others will probably find out.

Moreover, if we want to leave now, Xiao He and the others may not let us leave so easily, and there will still be disputes later.

I sighed and patted Wang Ping on the shoulder: "Let's take it one step at a time. But if they really resort to force, two fists can't fight four palms, and we have the advantage in numbers."

Wang Ping was still a little worried, but he could only nod. Then, Wang Ping and I returned to the group and followed behind, watching Yang Rui and the others walk at the front.

They walked around with maps in their hands, looking quite knowledgeable. They walked until nightfall, when it got dark and Wang Ping started clamoring to find a temporary place to camp.

I know he's just stalling for time, and everyone is really tired.

Xiao He and the others didn't have any objections to this. After all, people always need to rest, and it's inconvenient for us to be rushing around while carrying things.

So we found a relatively secluded beach and set up a tent, then put Wang Xiaoxiao and Tianci on the ground.

Wang Xiaoxiao was also very tired from lying down. After we went into the tent and lit a campfire, I massaged her shoulders. Wang Xiaoxiao looked at me with a pale face.

"Sihai, do you really think the place we're going to this time will be okay?"

I kissed Wang Xiaoxiao's forehead and smiled as I comforted her, "Don't worry, with your man here, nothing is impossible. You just need to take good care of my son, and you don't need to worry about anything else."

Wang Xiaoxiao blushed slightly upon hearing this, then looked at me shyly and sighed softly.

"Sigh, I never imagined that I would get pregnant from that one time with you... Actually, I've always wanted to ask you, Sihai, do you blame me?"

Looking at Wang Xiaoxiao, whose eyes held a hint of confusion but also a great deal of caution, I couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

This woman has always seemed like a very carefree person to me, so why has she become so cautious after all these things happened here?

I quickly pulled Wang Xiaoxiao into my arms and whispered, "What nonsense are you talking about? Actually, I like you too, but I didn't know it at the time. That feeling was just liking. Later, we got together, and I was incredibly happy about it. I was just afraid that you would feel wronged if you stayed with me."

When Wang Xiaoxiao heard what I said, her eyes reddened and she was about to cry, so I quickly kissed her eyes.

"Silly girl, I've already told you not to cry during postpartum confinement. Why are you still going on and on? Hurry up and stop crying, or I'll get angry."

When Wang Xiaoxiao heard what I said, she stopped crying and started laughing. She wiped her eyes and said, "Alright, alright, stop teasing me. Xiao Qiang and Xu Wei have been following along, they must be tired too. Go and check on them."

I nodded, stepped out of the tent, carefully sealed all the openings, and then went to see Xiao Qiang and the others.

They were preparing food, and Bai Wei and the others were helping out. However, Xiao He and his group also joined our group this time.

They were all whispering among themselves. When they saw me arrive, Xiaohe nodded in greeting and then waved to me.

I walked over and looked at the river: "How much longer do we have to walk before we reach that mountain near the sea that you mentioned! Where exactly is it? Didn't you say we should be there in half a day? But we've actually been traveling all day."

Xiao He noticed the awkward expression on my face, then quickly changed his expression: "I'm really sorry, it's true that I didn't understand this. After all, there's no scale on this map. I was just guessing based on my experience of being stranded on this deserted island. But it's not even a day today, it should be half a day tomorrow."

I nodded: "Yes, but I am indeed a little worried about this place. After all, if those strange vines suddenly emerge from the raging forest and attack us, it might be difficult to hide in the dark."

Xiao He nodded seriously after listening: "Yes, so I think we should stay away from these campfires later. That way, even if the light attracts them out, it won't bother us."

Looking at Xiao He's expression, I sneered inwardly. This kid is really wasting his talent. With his acting skills, he could easily go to Hollywood and win an Oscar or something.

Yang Rui sat silently to the side. I noticed this time that Yang Rui rarely spoke whenever Xiao He was around. He just sat there quietly, like a root carving.

However, Xiao He and I didn't have much to say. After sitting for a while, we got up to help Chen Jian and the others tidy up the charcoal they had collected.

Soon a large pot of food was served piping hot. Everyone was starving, and the weather was still a bit chilly. After eating their fill of soup, they leaned against the rocks to rest.

We arranged for someone to keep watch that night, and the next morning we set off again. This time, by noon, we actually reached the mountain by the sea that Xiao He had mentioned earlier.
