Chapter 374: Four-legged Snake

Yun Fu found an opportunity to enter the space and told Qi Hanzhou the new information she had learned on the island.

"There are approximately two thousand soldiers and civilians on this island, including those captured later. From what I can tell, this island is a deserted one, previously uninhabited. Water and food resources are scarce, and there are many ferocious beasts and poisonous creatures. It's as dangerous as the restricted forest between the eighth and seventh levels of the Ghostly Prison."

Of course, there is the most important piece of information.

"The sarcophagus we're looking for is in the general's tent. It's said that the general kept his eyes fixed on it during the day, never letting his gaze leave it for too long. Even when he slept, he would tie a rope around his wrist, one end connected to the sarcophagus and the other to his wrist. An eight-foot-long sword was also placed by his bed."

Sleeping in such a coffin, Yun Fu could only say that this person had really strong tastes.

"What about you? Did you encounter any difficulties after you came to the island?" Qi Hanzhou found that the little girl talked for a long time but did not mention her own situation on the island at all.

Unable to watch her all the time, Qi Hanzhou could only find out whether anything happened to her through her oral narration.

Yun Fu raised her eyebrows: "Don't worry, I'll eat anything, but I won't suffer any loss!"

Qi Hanzhou's gaze seemed to be filled with warmth as he scanned her up and down, making sure that she was indeed fine. Only then did he relax his tense expression.

Yun Fu was afraid that if she left the camp for too long, it would arouse other people's suspicion.

Therefore, I can’t chat with him in space for too long.

"My next plan is for you to continue staying in this space. When I find the right opportunity and get close to the general's tent, I will come back to find you and explore the tent with you."

Yun Fu prepared and took some time to find out the exact location of the general's tent.

"Okay, I'll wait for you then."

In fact, Qi Hanzhou didn't like staying in the space. Although there was food and drink here and the bed was soft, he couldn't see her if he stayed here.

For Qi Hanzhou, this was also a different kind of torture.

——

When Yun Fu came out of the space, she touched a few pieces of chocolate and put them on her body.

This thing is the most convenient to carry and can quickly replenish your physical strength at critical moments.

Before I got close, I heard noisy voices coming from the direction of the camp.

"The water in the previous puddle is running out. Today, you are responsible for finding a new water source. If you can't find one, you are not allowed to come back."

The island is surrounded by sea water. The ancients did not know that drinking sea water would cause osmotic imbalance of water in the body, leading to dehydration; they did not know that the high salt concentration of sea water not only cannot be fully absorbed by the human body, but also increases urine excretion; they also did not know that the large amount of magnesium, potassium and calcium elements in sea water would directly lead to serious electrolyte disorder in the human body after drinking sea water.

But they knew from the experience of their predecessors that sea water could not be drunk. Once consumed, people would get sick, and in serious cases, they would die.

There is a shortage of fresh water resources on the island, and most of the water is puddles formed after rainfall. The water in the puddle we found before is almost used up.

They now continue to look for a new water source.

There were too few officers and soldiers in charge of logistics, so they selected some women from the group captured in the north and asked them to join the team looking for water.

Yun Fu saw Xiaoyu's little figure in the team. The little girl looked confused and was being urged forward by several soldiers.

"Hurry up! If you run into a wild beast later and you're this slow, you'll be eaten!"

Yun Fu originally didn't want to meddle in other people's business, because according to the plan, she was going to look for the general's tent at night.

However, looking at the staggering little figure, he remembered what he had promised to do his best to protect the little girl.

In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore and quickly followed.

"I'm going too."

This island is full of dangers. If she doesn't go with them, the little girl may not come back alive.

"Brother Yun, why are you here too?" Xiaoyu asked with her head tilted.

"I just like to wander around." Yun Fu made up an excuse.

The group went from the edge of the island all the way to the center of the island. The road ahead was difficult to walk on.

It was filled with bushes, thorns, intricate and protruding tree roots, and branches blown everywhere by the hurricane.

After walking a few steps, you have to stop and clear the road.

For these women who were born in a small fishing village, this is not so bad.

But when danger really comes, these women find it difficult to cope.

The officers and soldiers had weapons, but these women were unarmed. If they really encountered a ferocious beast, they would not even have the chance to fight back and save their lives.

Yun Fu deliberately raised her voice and said to the little girl beside her, "Go find a thicker branch and hold it in your hand."

"Huh?" Xiaoyu looked confused. "Brother Yun, why do we have to hold branches in our hands?"

Yun Fu explained, "It's not me, it's you. The terrain on this island is complex. If you really encounter a ferocious beast, you probably won't be able to escape. If you don't have a weapon, you won't even have a chance to fight back."

Yun Fu's voice wasn't loud enough for everyone to hear, but it was enough for the women close to them to hear it.

A few people picked up branches and held them in their hands, and others followed suit.

Soon, the women in the team who had empty hands all picked up a stick.

The group walked forward for a distance.

Just when everyone was drowsy from the midday sun, an accident occurred.

Yun Fu just thought it was better to be prepared, but she didn't expect that these sticks would come in handy so soon.

"Ah, what's that thing lying under the tree in front? It looks alive!"

"Nonsense! It must be alive! If it were dead, it would have already become stinky and been eaten up by snakes, insects, rats and ants."

"I know, that thing is a lizard!"

…

Four-legged snake?

Yun Fu's movement seemed small, but in fact, she had quietly arrived at the front of the team.

I saw what these people called "lizards".

Isn't this a lizard?

Look at this head, it’s really big.

It should be considered as a monitor lizard.

Those who can survive on this deserted island are all big guys at the top of the food chain.

Yun Fu was not surprised at all to see the giant lizard.

But the women living in the seaside fishing village had never seen such a horrifying thing.

Some people who were timid and had poor mental endurance were so scared that they started singing high notes.

"ah--"

This shout woke up the sleeping monitor lizard under the tree.
