Aphrodite frowned, turned away from Richard, and came around from the northwest.
Lu Xuan didn't expect that it would be so difficult to cross the river in this place. If there was no guidance from the other party, it would take him and his companions a while to find the way across the river.
“Please follow me…”
The girl caught sight of Lu Xuan and his group, especially the three girls following closely behind him. A subtle flicker of joy flashed across her eyes, like a meteor flashing across the night sky, only to disappear into the vast darkness in an instant. Then, her expression seemed to be quietly covered by dark clouds, returning to its gloom.
"Lu Xuan, she asked us to follow her into the cave behind the waterfall. Their tribe is at the other end of the cave."
Leng Mengyao continued to work diligently as a translator, and quietly grabbed Aphrodite's left hand, silently giving her a firm look.
"Let's go, follow."
Lu Xuan naturally understood what she meant and waved to the two girls behind him. The four of them followed Aphrodite, stepped on a string of large stones, successfully jumped over the stream, and successfully reached the other side of the waterfall.
"Welcome, welcome, come here quickly, please. You don't know that Aphrodite and I are looking forward to your arrival all the time."
Richard still looked attentive, and especially when he saw the three girls behind Lu Xuan, the smile on his face became even brighter.
"You're welcome. I hope we won't disturb your life."
The other party was being polite, so Lu Xuan retaliated in the same way he had treated him.
Both sides exchanged pleasantries as they entered the back of the waterfall.
"Handsome boy, you're quite polite, I never thought. Wow, there's such a big cave behind the waterfall. This place is amazing."
Yin Yichen, who was walking at the end, was like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden. She looked here and there from time to time, feeling that everything was new.
"Yichen, follow closely, don't get lost."
Poor Shen Keyin had to follow Lu Xuan's footsteps closely while keeping an eye on Yin Yichen behind her.
Lu Xuan's pace slowed down involuntarily at this moment. He looked around. This cave hidden behind the magnificent waterfall was like a secret place carefully carved by nature. The first sight of it was enough to make people feel relaxed and happy, forgetting the hustle and bustle of the world.
The space inside the cave is extremely spacious, yet quiet and deep, as if it is the lungs of the earth, retaining a piece of pure land away from the hustle and bustle.
On the top of the cave, stalactites of various shapes and sizes are like sculptures of time. Some are as majestic as waterfalls; some are like Ganoderma lucidum, crystal clear; and some are like the mythical beasts guarding this holy land in ancient legends, silent and majestic.
Every drop of water that slowly falls from the tip of the stalactite strikes out a distant and mysterious melody, echoing in this boundless cave, cleansing the soul like never before.
What is even more magical is that the sunlight can penetrate the waterfall cascading down like a white silk, turning into countless tiny spots of light, which are scattered in every corner of the cave, bringing a rare touch of warmth and vitality to this dark world.
Light and shadow dance together here, and each beam of light is like the most dexterous painter in nature, sketching out breathtaking paintings of light and shadow.
"Our Charlie tribe is just behind the cave. Everyone, please stay calm here. I'll go talk to our leader."
Everyone was still immersed in the dreamlike, mysterious and fantastic scene deep in the cave, but unexpectedly, a light suddenly appeared in front of them, indicating that the cave entrance seemed to be within reach and right in front of them.
Richard bowed to everyone very gentlemanly, then left.
However, the man's little movements before leaving still did not escape the eyes of Lu Xuan and others. He often secretly glanced at Leng Mengyao and others.
"This man...just looks so infuriating. Our handsome little guy is still the best. At least he's comfortable to look at. I hate hypocritical people like this the most."
Seeing the other person walking away, Yin Yichen walked up from the back and glared at the other person's back viciously.
"Yichen, shh, don't talk nonsense..."
Leng Mengyao made a gesture to Yin Yichen to keep quiet, and then immediately turned his attention to Aphrodite, whom he was holding tightly beside him.
At this time, he was the only one around him, which was a rare opportunity. Leng Mengyao immediately began to communicate with Aphrodite in fluent English.
The two men stopped talking until Richard came towards them with a group of primitive people.
Lu Xuan knew from Leng Mengyao's eyes that this girl should have received some new information.
Leng Mengyao still held Aphrodite's left hand tightly, but the blonde girl seemed to have a breakdown. She suddenly broke free from Leng Mengyao's hand and ran away crying.
This scene happened rather suddenly. Everyone present except Leng Mengyao, including Richard and the dark-skinned man wearing a strange headdress who should be the tribal leader, was a little confused.
"I'm sorry, I just told her the news that her sister passed away. She must be a little emotionally broken."
Leng Mengyao took the initiative to explain the reason at this time.
Richard obviously did not expect such an incident to happen suddenly. He said a few words to the tribal leader beside him, then sighed and explained to everyone with a heavy expression.
"Jessica is Aphrodite's sister. She's been missing for many days. It's such a pity that she's now gone like this. Come, let me introduce you to Alucia, the leader of the Charlie tribe."
However, the emotions on this man's face changed rapidly beyond what ordinary people could imagine.
A second ago, he had a gloomy look on his face, as if he had lost a loved one, and he sighed endlessly; in the blink of an eye, the sadness on the man's face disappeared, replaced by a bright smile. He then turned around and enthusiastically introduced the tribal leader next to him to everyone.
As the captain of the group, Lu Xuan stepped forward and nodded slightly to the leader named Alushia.
The leaders of both sides have met each other.
At this time, Lu Xuan raised his head and saw a tall and strong brown-haired man, who was even stronger than himself, standing behind Richard with his head held high and his chest puffed out.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce you. This is Ares, who has been working with me all this time. It was thanks to him that we survived this shipwreck."
Seeing Lu Xuan looking at the man behind him, Richard made way and invited the man behind him to come to the front.
"Hello, my name is Ares, nice to meet you."
This big and strong man can actually speak Mandarin.
When passing by this man at close range, even Lu Xuan couldn't help but secretly admire his burly figure.
It seems that Richard's ability to secure a place in the savage tribe must have been due to the considerable contribution of this man named Ares.
But you have your mountains, and I have my oceans...
Lu Xuan inadvertently blinked at the three girls behind him.
The action begins...
