The girl's disturbance instantly dissipated the original "ambiguous" atmosphere in the cave, and it was replaced by an atmosphere of tension that could not be ignored, quietly permeating every corner.
"What's going on?"
Leng Mengyao and Shen Keyin also immediately stood up alertly and looked at Aphrodite together.
Aphrodite was running while explaining something at a very fast speed.
"What's going on?"
Lu Xuan was also confused at the moment and had to ask Leng Mengyao for help.
"She said that the cannibal tribe must have caught some food again..."
"Food? Could it be...people?"
Hearing the word "food", Shen Keyin couldn't help but tremble all over. After all, the food of this cannibal tribe is people.
"Come on, grab your weapons and let's go take a look in the backyard."
There's so much shouting and fighting in the middle of the night. I want to see what's going on.
When I came to the back of the cave and looked to the southeast, I could see flames and deafening shouts in the southeast direction through the bamboo wall. If I didn't know, I would think that some big star came to the island to hold a concert.
Aphrodite seemed a little excited. She pushed open the bamboo raft door and rushed towards the lake.
"Quick! Stop her! Stop her from running around..."
Lu Xuan had never expected that this foreign girl was such a sentimental person. Without saying a word, he resolutely rushed out the door.
He quickly ordered Leng Mengyao to call back the anxious Aphrodite as quickly as possible.
Leng Mengyao did not dare to slack off and immediately followed after her, calling out to Aphrodite loudly in a fluent foreign language.
Aphrodite turned around, responded to Leng Mengyao with a few words, and continued to run towards the outermost bamboo wall.
"What does she want?"
Lu Xuan is now in a dilemma. It is already difficult enough to serve Yin Yichen, who he already has, and now here comes another disobedient one.
"Lu Xuan, she said she was worried that the cannibal tribe had captured Taylor..."
It wasn't until he heard Leng Mengyao's words that Lu Xuan remembered that this "parkour king" seemed to be still in the wild...
Thinking about it this way, I can understand why this girl was so excited.
"Tell her to stay within the bamboo forest and find a place with a good view. We have a telescope here. Ke Yin, go get the telescope. Hey, don't run around..."
Lu Xuan felt like a kindergarten teacher now, having to be cautious and careful. If he wasn't careful, one of the girls might get lost.
Fortunately, President Leng and his woman Shen Keyin were relatively reliable. One of them "caught" Aphrodite, and the other brought a telescope for himself.
With the magical telescope, Lu Xuan became much calmer.
"Give this to her. Tell her to find a crack in the bamboo wall and look out. Try not to go out anyway."
He had gone to great lengths to bring this girl back. If she was caught on the first day, all his efforts would be in vain. So Lu Xuan would never let Aphrodite leave the bamboo wall without permission.
Fortunately, with Leng Mengyao's explanation and the magical artifact of the telescope, Aphrodite's mood was slightly comforted. Holding the telescope, she found a place with a better view in the bamboo forest wall and began to observe the outside environment.
As for Lu Xuan... at this time he could only listen to the live translation of Leng Mengyao, the "middleman".
"...There are at least four or five savages in the southeast. They must be from the cannibal tribe..."
"They must be holding some kind of ceremony. They must have caught some food, and a lot of it, otherwise they wouldn't have made such a big commotion..."
Leng Mengyao kept doing on-site translation.
After hearing this, Lu Xuan and the other two couldn't help but feel a chill down their necks...
It looks like they have caught a living person, and judging by their posture, they are probably going to start eating him.
"Can you see what you caught?"
Including Lu Xuan, the three girls were most concerned about who the group of savages had captured.
"Aphrodite said she couldn't see clearly. It was a bit far away and obscured... She wanted to go out and find a better spot."
As she was talking, the girl wanted to go out again.
"Let her stay here. I'm leaving, and you guys don't go anywhere."
As the team leader, there was no way he was letting a girl go out alone. Lu Xuan grabbed Aphrodite and took the telescope from her hand. He pointed at himself, then at the distance. Then, with a serious expression, he patted her shoulder and pointed at the ground. His meaning was clear: stay where you are and do the observation yourself...
Aphrodite was a little dazed. She looked at Lu Xuan for nearly ten seconds before nodding.
"You guys stay here too, don't follow me out."
After giving a few more instructions, Lu Xuan took a telescope and carried a simple bamboo fork, opened the outermost bamboo forest door of his house, and then quietly slipped out.
He walked east along the bamboo wall, then went straight into the jungle in the southeast. Bending over, he walked slowly to a bush. Lu Xuan raised his telescope and took a look.
It was just as Aphrodite said. Although I could vaguely see a few shirtless savages wearing strange hats made of leaves in the distance, I couldn't see what "prey" they had caught.
Lu Xuan had no choice but to continue heading south and observe the other party from a different angle.
Lu Xuan slowly walked along the southeast path for about a hundred meters before stopping beneath a magnificent locust tree. The trunk of this ancient locust tree was thick, with a diameter of four or five meters. Lu Xuan peered again, and this time, the scene before him seemed clearer than before.
Amidst the swaying shadows of the trees, he vaguely caught sight of a tightly bound figure, seemingly bound with intricate ropes, standing helplessly. Unfortunately, the scattered obstructions ahead cleverly obscured the figure's upper body, making it impossible for Lu Xuan to discern its true identity at first glance—was it a savage or a modern human?
After looking around, Lu Xuan decided to do what he was better at, climbing trees.
Without any effort, Lu Xuan climbed up the big locust tree in no time.
Now I stand higher and can see farther.
He raised the telescope again and finally got a clear view of the distant scene.
Five savages, holding torches, wearing tiger-skin skirts and chicken-feather blanket-like hats, were dancing in front of a giant bonfire. A dying man was tied to a large tree to the side of the bonfire...
The man was already naked at the moment, and it was obvious that the group of savages wanted to take advantage of him.
The only good news was that this man was dark-skinned, thin, short, and had very little hair... He didn't look like a foreigner at first glance...
The question is who is this man...
