"What's the big deal?" the newcomer said casually. "Maybe he aged very quickly on the island. After all, he didn't eat enough, didn't sleep well, and went through a lot of hardships."
Another newcomer couldn't help but say, "No matter how old he is, he can't suddenly become 40 or 50 years old, right? Someone in his twenties looks older than my dad!"
Tang Mianmian couldn't help but let her imagination run wild: "Could it be that the speed of time on the island is different from the normal speed of time on our bodies?"
Xiao Tangqiu frowned: "If this woman is his wife, then what about his wife?"
Tang Mianmian guessed, "Maybe he's dead? Died in that plane crash or shipwreck?"
"No," Yu Fuling suddenly said, "There are some women's products in this room, and there are signs of being used. I don't think his wife is dead... at least not in that disaster." Miaomiao said
"Maybe we just haven't seen it yet?" Tang Mianmian continued to speculate.
"By the way, where's the piece of meat?" Xiao Tangqiu suddenly remembered something. "Where's the piece of meat he brought back?"
"It's gone. Did he eat it?" Tang Mianmian said casually. "It's such a big piece of meat. It's a relief that he could finish it in just a few minutes... Or maybe he took it away."
Xiao Tangqiu put the photo away and said, "Let's search other houses."
So they divided the work and searched all the houses in the village, but still to no avail.
"Forget it, it seems there are really no clues. Let's go find the sacred tree." Xue Junli said lightly.
Xiao Tangqiu nodded. They really couldn't waste too much time here. After all, they only had one day.
Seeing them preparing to leave the village, a newcomer couldn't help but ask, "Can't you really take us with you?"
Duan Hongzhen raised his eyebrows: "We can't stop you if you want to, but if you encounter danger, we won't care about you."
The newcomers looked at each other, and finally most of them chose to stay, with only one newcomer silently following Xiao Tangqiu and the others.
Xiao Tangqiu looked back and found that it was the young man who was about to jump into the water to save someone. He raised his eyebrows but said nothing.
It was already late at night, and the woods under the cover of darkness were eerie and mysterious. From afar, the densely packed black-skinned trees looked like black beasts with bared fangs and claws.
After everyone went deep into the jungle, Xiao Tangqiu found that the surroundings were getting colder and colder, the trees were getting denser and denser, and their thorny appearance seemed to be getting more and more ferocious. He felt a chill on his back and even had the illusion that countless eyes in the woods were staring at him.
At this moment, a scream suddenly sounded not far away.
“Someone!”
Xiao Tangqiu blurted out subconsciously.
"That's impossible!" Yu Fuling frowned, "I clearly didn't detect any signs of life just now!"
Tang Mianmian paused: "...Maybe it's not a living person."
Duan Hongzhen sneered: "Let's go and take a look first!"
Everyone immediately rushed towards the place where the screams came from.
Soon, they saw a shocking scene... a tree was eating people!
A black-skinned tree covered with barbs was eating a man. A huge, cracked, bud-like mouth appeared from the big hole in the middle of its trunk. The mouth was full of serrated sharp teeth and had almost swallowed half of the man!
Xiao Tangqiu rushed forward without hesitation and shot an arrow at the strange tree. The arrow, which was filled with magic power, had extremely strong killing power and penetrated into the trunk of the tree three feet deep!
But at this moment, the strange tree suddenly screamed!
Xiao Tangqiu couldn't help but pause. This strange tree actually let out a scream similar to a human, and it was a woman's voice...
Just as he was stunned, the next second, the branches of this strange tree, which were originally growing crisscross, suddenly grew rapidly, and the branches covered with barbs stretched towards him.
