Don't trust the parchment scroll too much...
Lu Xuan repeated Vivian's last words translated from English over and over again.
"Lu Xuan, I feel that Vivian seems to have a deep understanding of the parchment scroll, so she seems to want to remind us, but..."
Having said that, Leng Mengyao sighed and lowered his head, obviously feeling very sorry for not being able to save Vivian.
"It's a pity that we can't give her a proper burial yet. Time waits for no one. I'll ask those two savages a few more questions before we return."
Although Lu Xuan really wanted to give this poor Vivian a proper farewell, the reality was that, let alone a farewell ceremony, Lu Xuan and his companions couldn't even bury the girl, as that would surely arouse Richard's suspicion. His plan to divert the blame couldn't be abandoned halfway.
Lu Xuan turned around and looked at the two savages who were being held captive by Taylor and Yin Yichen. He took the dagger from Shen Keyin and stabbed one of them in the thigh without hesitation.
“Ah~~~”
The knife was followed by a hysterical scream.
"Taylor, translate for me. Why are they here? Why would they treat a woman like this? And is their boss Richard?"
Lu Xuan's heart was burning with rage at this moment, and his resentment seemed like a torrent that needed to be vented. Naturally, all this energy was poured onto the two rough savages in front of him.
Taylor's eyes were also wide open, flashing with unquestionable severity. He lowered his voice, but spoke each word forcefully, and in a tone that was almost commanding, he threw a series of harsh questions at the two savages.
"Brother Lu Xuan, they said this is a tribal branch, and Richard asked them to be here. Richard wants to take Vivian for himself, but they think Vivian is an unlucky woman, so they want to torture Vivian... to death..."
By the end, Taylor was at a loss for words.
"Grass……"
When Lu Xuan heard the words "torture to death", he was also furious. In front of everyone, he raised his hand and slashed with a knife, sending one person away immediately.
"Awuliqiuxili, Awuliqiuxili, Liu Minxi will restore the slaves of Karls..."
The man before him was like the Grim Reaper, a figure stepping out of the underworld. With every movement, he harvested lives like fallen leaves swept by the autumn wind, cold and merciless. In this despairing situation, the remaining savage's soul seemed to be torn apart by fear. His legs gave way, and he fell to his knees, pounding his head repeatedly in Lu Xuan's direction, each sound carrying a deep sense of despair and a plea for mercy.
"Brother Lu Xuan... He begged you to spare his life, he knew he was wrong, he could be your slave... he could do anything."
Although Taylor clenched his fists and looked like he wanted to hit someone, he still held back, took a deep breath, and translated what the other person said to Lu Xuan.
"You know you're wrong? If apologies are useful, then what's the point of the god of death... Tell him one thing: forgiveness is God's business, and my mission is to send him to see God..."
Lu Xuan wiped the dagger in his hand on the other person's face, and then said this calmly.
"Ah Wuli begged Xili, Ah Wuli begged Xili..."
After listening to Taylor's translation, the only remaining savage began to kowtow to Lu Xuan again. It looked like he wanted to smash the ground through.
"Tyler, I have one last question: How much does he know about the five holy sites, the parchment scrolls, and the legends? Let him tell me everything."
Although Lu Xuan didn't have much hope, he still asked casually.
Taylor communicated with the other party for about three minutes, reorganized his words, and then informed Lu Xuan of the information he had collected.
"Brother Lu Xuan, he said he knows five holy places. Legend has it that whoever finds any of them will find a treasure. Whoever finds the treasure will have no worries about food and drink, and can even become the master of this island..."
Taylor seemed to have never expected that this seemingly rough savage actually had a fantasy dream of becoming the owner of the island.
To Lu Xuan, this answer was somewhat humorous. A savage on a deserted island, yet still harboring the desire to rule it, he couldn't help but sigh. The desire for power seemed unconstrained by time and civilization, lurking quietly within the depths of every soul.
"Why does it feel like everyone has a different definition of what treasure is?"
Shen Keyin muttered something casually, but she actually spoke the truth.
"Well, it's time to wrap up what's going on here."
Lu Xuan brushed off the dust on his body, stood up from the ground, and then raised his knife cleanly and decisively, killing the opponent with one blow.
All I can say is that this savage’s dream of becoming an island owner was completely shattered.
"Take what belongs to us, don't leave anything behind, and we'll return the way we came."
Killing is not a pleasant thing, and he hasn't saved Vivian yet. Lu Xuan was in a bad mood at the moment. He stood up and told everyone with an expressionless face to pack up and go home.
It seemed as if they had never seen Lu Xuan so serious. No one dared to say a word. They just started to check whether they had any supplies left behind. Three minutes later, they followed Lu Xuan back to the cave entrance.
"Here's my plan. We're not familiar with this place, so the only way to go back is to go back along the tunnel we came from. But we don't know if Richard and his gang have returned, so I'll go up alone to check on the situation. You guys wait for me at the fork closest to the entrance. Don't come out until you hear from me."
After calming down, Lu Xuan made some arrangements for his return trip.
The most important task for this group of people at the moment is to retreat safely to their camp.
Naturally, everyone had no objection and nodded in unison.
The six people jumped into the tunnel one by one in the order they came, and started their return journey along the same route.
Although everyone fought vigorously in this battle with zero casualties and completely wiped out the enemy, since Vivian was not rescued and the scene was too bloody, everyone in the team seemed to need more time to calm down.
So when they were moving through the tunnel, the six of them tacitly chose to remain silent.
Until you reach the first fork before the entrance again.
Lu Xuan, who was leading the team, stopped.
"You guys just stay here, I'll go upstairs to check out the situation."
After settling everyone here, Lu Xuan walked the rest of the tunnel alone.
After returning to the entrance and glancing up to confirm that there was no one around, Lu Xuan jumped up and climbed up.
He crouched down, carefully surveying the rock face. All around him remained silent, with only the occasional crisp bird calls from the depths of the jungle, echoing softly in this quiet world...
But just as Lu Xuan lowered his body and circled back to the rear of Charlie's tribe from the rock wall, he faintly heard a sound coming from the tribe...
