At that moment, bullets burst forth from the woods, striking the crab that was now rampaging arrogantly.

After looking around carefully, I realized that besides Chen Jian and Wang Ping, there were actually many more people in the woods.

Judging from their clothes from a distance, they looked like modern people.

In that case, it's almost obvious without even guessing that it must be Xiao He and his group.

I never expected that we would still run into each other after trying to avoid each other, especially under these circumstances. I'm really in a bind.

Xiao He and his group had already saved us once before, and now they've reappeared, especially at such a critical time. This situation is a bit complicated and hard to explain.

After all, they genuinely saved our lives, and if they make any demands on us later, it would seem unkind to refuse.

As I was pondering what to do next, I heard the sound of water.

When I turned my head again, I saw that the crab had already started crawling into the sea.

I was greatly alarmed. If this thing went into the sea, it would be a real problem to catch it.

The most important thing is that it is absolutely unusual for such a large crab to appear in this place. If we release it back into the wild, there will be endless troubles.

But Chen Jian and the others are clearly trying to save me, and they probably didn't even think about this. I only have this one gun right now, and if I were to confront this crab, my chances of winning wouldn't be very high.

But after thinking about it, I gritted my teeth and decided that I had to force the crab ashore no matter what.

So I immediately pulled the trigger and quickly fired at the crab.

Upon hearing the noise, the crab was indeed startled at first, and then stopped its attempts to move towards the sea.

The crab began to hesitate, because the shooting from the shore had never stopped, but the shooting from the sea was only from my wave. Perhaps this thing was also considering whether to continue to run ashore or go back into the water.

But before the crab could make a choice, chaos suddenly broke out in the woods. The gunshots that had been aimed at the crab at the sea suddenly turned and began firing into the woods.

I was startled. Could it be that something else had happened in the woods?

That makes sense. The gunfire from Chen Jian's side is so intense, creating such a loud noise. If there were any guns in the woods, they would definitely be attracted by such a loud sound.

Chen Jian and his group are currently focused entirely on the large crab on the beach, leaving their backs vulnerable. This could make their situation quite troublesome.

But now, seeing that the crab had been attracted by my gunshot and was crawling towards me with its big pincers, I felt a wave of despair wash over me.

Why did all these trivial matters pile up together today?

With the support from Wang Ping and Chen Jian suddenly gone, my situation became extremely tense.

I gritted my teeth, immediately raised my gun, and fired at the crab again.

Normally, a crab's abdomen should be relatively soft, so I tried to stay close to the water's surface and swirled the gun in my hand, aiming at the crab's belly.

But who knew that this mutated crab would become so huge, its body like steel and iron. I fired more than a dozen shots, but it did nothing to stop it from crawling over.

Just as I was collapsing and not knowing what to do, gunfire rang out again from the woods, aimed at the sea.

I turned my head and out of the corner of my eye saw Wang Ping clinging to a tree branch, frantically shooting at the crab.

The crab was once again attracted by Wang Ping's voice and twisted its body.

Perhaps because Wang Ping and his men's gunfire wasn't very intense anymore, the crab wasn't afraid of them at all. It turned around, stepped on the dense swarm of small crabs, and headed straight into the woods.

I cursed the crab under my breath. It was a real tough nut to crack. Was it brainless or just plain stupid? How dare it go against the grain like that!

I shouted loudly at Wang Ping and the others, asking them what had happened in the woods, but after shouting a couple of times, I realized that Wang Ping and the others couldn't hear me at all. After all, such loud gunfire and chaotic shooting did indeed affect hearing.

After the crab's gaze shifted away from me, I finally breathed a sigh of relief, got up, gripped my gun, and slowly crawled towards the woods.

Halfway through, I looked up and realized that the woods were now shrouded in a thick fog, as if something was there.

Because I could see that Xiao He and his group were firing into the depths of the woods.

But after shooting for so long, they still didn't stop, nor did they see any animals rush out.

Could it be that it's not a herd of wild boars or a pack of wolves, but a separate group?

But even if it's just a lone wild beast, what kind of beast could withstand such a frenzied barrage of fire from Xiao He and his men?

I quickened my pace, and by then Wang Ping had seen me, but he still didn't stop shooting at the crab.

I ran a few steps quickly and rushed into the woods to meet up with Chen Jian.

Chen Jian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw me return, but then, still pale-faced, he tugged at me and said, "Brother Sihai, this woods isn't safe either. There's another big bird behind us!"

Before Chen Jian could finish speaking, I suddenly heard Xiao He shout, "Run! We can't stay here! Head deeper into the woods; the trees are denser there, and that bird shouldn't be able to get in!"

I turned my head to look into the woods and saw a huge black bird flapping its wings and staring at us with its blood-red eyes.

Those huge claws were like the black, shiny feathers on an excavator, looking particularly eerie. Seeing this scene, I felt a chill run down my spine.

What on earth is going on? First, we encountered such a huge crab, and now we've run into such a strange bird. Could it be that this mutated species is starting to appear on this deserted island again?

But before I could think any further, I heard Xiao He suddenly scream, and then he fell to the ground. After that, I smelled a bloody odor spreading.

It was only then that I noticed that Xiao He's body was covered with small crabs.

Wang Ping's face turned deathly pale. He quickly jumped down from the tree, stood next to me, and looked at Xiao He with a cold gaze.

"Sihai, what should we do? Should we save them or not?"

When I heard his question, I was immediately at a loss.

To save or not to save?

This is a very profound question...

But if we don't save him, are we just going to watch him die here?
