Transmigrating to Ancient Times to Escape Famine, I Have a Treasure Chest So I Don't Panic

One year brought a great drought, the next year floods, and then, in a blink, a plague.

The Xu family fled from the north to the south, and then from the south back to the north.

Before...

Chapter 285 Don’t Underestimate the Enemy

Pei Yongjun's face was solemn. He made a quick decision and quickly ordered people to bring kerosene and bows and arrows. He moved skillfully and methodically, and together with his soldiers, he fired rockets accurately at the boat.

In an instant, the boat was engulfed in flames, and the fire grew increasingly fierce, as if it was about to burn the entire world to ashes. At this moment, the cannibal boy who had just swam to the side of the boat was terrified by the blazing flames and retreated back in fear.

However, the young man did not give up. He looked ferocious and stared fiercely in the direction of Pei Yongjun and others, showing his sharp teeth and making a low roar.

He could only feel helpless and furious, because Pei Yongjun had already seen him chasing after him and ordered his men to set sail again and stay away from this dangerous place.

"Now you see it all, right? This is the real situation on the island. Do you know how to report it when you go back?" Pei Yongjun patted the shoulder of the dumbfounded man next to him and said earnestly.

Sun Hao was trembling all over, his heart filled with endless fear and shock. Not long ago, he had been knocked unconscious, but when he woke up, he found that everyone who had come with him had died tragically here, and their deaths were so horrific that even the bodies could not be found intact.

Sun Hao's body kept shaking, and those horrific scenes kept echoing in his mind.

He knew that Pei Yongjun had specially arranged for someone to wake him up and handed him a telescope so that he could witness everything that happened on the cannibal island with his own eyes.

Sun Hao took the telescope and gazed towards the cannibal island. The sight before him horrified him. His eyes widened, watching the island's every move in disbelief. Every detail was clear, even the fierce eyes of the cannibal teenagers and their brutal actions.

"What on earth is this..." Sun Hao murmured, the horrifying scene kept appearing in his mind, and his body trembled involuntarily.

Until the ship returned to Haicheng, Sun Hao could not get rid of the fear, as if the nightmarish island had been deeply imprinted in his soul.

Seeing Sun Hao's terrified look, the people who stayed in Haicheng were filled with confusion and worry. They quickly surrounded him and asked with concern, "Sun Hao, what's wrong with you? What happened to make you so frightened?"

When Sun Hao heard the words "Cannibal Island," his face turned pale, his eyes filled with endless fear. He shook his head frantically, muttering, "How horrible! They really eat people! How horrible! They've all been eaten!! How horrible!!! Ahhhhhhhh..." His voice was filled with despair and pain, which made people feel pity.

Seeing they couldn't extract any useful information from Sun Hao, the people turned their attention to Pei Yongjun. Pei Yongjun knew their temperaments well. He looked at them expressionlessly and said slowly, "Just as Sun Hao said, and just as I wrote in your last letter, cannibals are indeed difficult to deal with."

Pei Yongjun recounted their experiences on the cannibal island in detail, hiding nothing from them, including the battles between the people who had come ashore and the cannibals, and how they were all killed in the end. Of course, he made no mention of the fact that he had deliberately arranged for someone to knock Sun Hao unconscious.

The people sent from the capital were naturally unwilling to easily believe Pei Yongjun's words. They believed that there must be something they didn't know. So, after Pei Yongjun and his companions returned to the mansion, they quietly found a few soldiers they had "bribed" and tried to extract more information from them.

Unexpectedly, these soldiers confirmed everything Pei Yongjun said was true. Without hesitation, they sent a letter to the capital to pass on this astonishing news.

Pei Yongjun returned home and immediately called everyone together for a meeting.

Qi Songbo was not there. He had been appointed to work in Jun County under Haicheng and was not there at the moment.

Pei Yongjun's face darkened as he recalled what happened on the cannibal island. He took a deep breath and recounted his experience in detail. Xu Ning couldn't help but sigh, "It's true. Never underestimate any enemy, or you'll be the one to suffer in the end."

At this time, Qi Canglan asked curiously: "General Pei, is that cannibal boy really that powerful? What would happen if you fought him?"

Pei Yongjun was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "I can't guarantee that I will be unscathed. Their attack speed and strength are beyond imagination, even more powerful than ferocious beasts." He recalled the scene through the telescope where he saw those people being discovered and surrounded shortly after they came ashore, and a trace of fear surged in his heart.

These cannibals weren't just a bunch of savage barbarians; they had their own sophisticated tactics. Their swift movements, coordinated coordination, and bestial strength made their combat effectiveness even greater than that of trained warriors. Even with Pei Yongjun's prowess, if he were to land on the island with his elite troops, he couldn't guarantee a safe retreat.

Faced with this situation, everyone present fell into deep thought. They knew that landing on the island again was extremely risky and that the slightest mistake could lead to the annihilation of the entire army.

Therefore, no one dared to take any more risks. After all, the chance of contracting prions if injured was extremely high, practically tantamount to death. Without absolute certainty, they could only bide their time.

Soon, Xu Ning received a piece of news from the treasure chest, and this news could not only solve the problem of the Minister of Agriculture, but also solve the problem of the Cannibal Island.

"Hello, players. The martial artists on Devil Island have worked together to build a ship, which is now heading towards Haicheng."

"What! Doesn't that mean they're going to pass by the Cannibal Island?!" Xu Ning's eyes widened in surprise. Wasn't this a perfect solution? Why hadn't she thought of this? These martial artists were so powerful. If they could use their strength to fight the cannibals, wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone? It would solve the problem of the Minister of Agriculture and eliminate the threat of the Cannibal Island at the same time! Thinking of this, Xu Ning was filled with anticipation and excitement.

Xu Ning thought about it and discussed the news quietly with Xu Feng and Xu Yuan. Later, he also pulled the Minister of Agriculture and Cui Yong to discuss it together. In the end, those who knew that the martial artists were on Devil's Island all thought that the plan was feasible.

"Uncle Pei, we have a solution to the problem of the Cannibal Island! Who knows, we can even solve Old Qin's problem at the same time!" Xu Ning excitedly told Pei Yongjun and Qi Canglan the news. Pei Yongjun was also very interested and asked, "What is the solution?"

Xu Ning and the Grand Minister of Agriculture smiled slightly and told them the planned plan.
