The next morning, when it was still light, Lu Xuan was the first one to get up.
The first thing he did was to quickly walk out of the cave and look around.
As I expected, it was another foggy day today.
I have been on the island for several months. Although the frequency of foggy days is not very high, every time it occurs, it brings me benefits. Just like this time, if I launch a sneak attack on the enemy in the fog, I might be able to take down the entire cannibal tribe with zero losses.
"Get up, get up, everyone get up!"
After checking the weather, Lu Xuan immediately shouted at everyone to get up.
"Handsome boy...why are you up so early? Aren't you usually the last one to get up?"
The sleepy girls got up one after another, and Yin Yichen was still rubbing her eyes and complaining with her hair disheveled.
"Hurry up, hurry up, you're the only one dawdling. You need to get ready just to go out. You don't have that much time. Be more efficient."
At that moment, Lu Xuan was holding a bamboo fork and shouting in the cave like a contractor.
There are indeed many advantages to having so many girls here. There is no shortage of people to do the cooking, washing and tidying up. However, the disadvantages are also obvious, such as serious procrastination. Every time I go out, even if I don't have many cosmetics, these girls still habitually dress themselves up. They are not like a grown man like Lu Xuan who can just wear shorts and go out.
An hour later, when the sun slowly rose in the east, the six people in the cave escorted Qin Jicheng and pushed the cart loaded with goods out of the back door of the cave.
"Everyone is dawdling. It's almost daylight. Let's go! Let's go!"
Lu Xuan walked in front holding Qin Jicheng, whose hands were tied, and did not forget to turn back from time to time to urge the girls.
"Handsome boy, you are becoming more and more like a contractor, and a black-hearted contractor at that."
When Yin Yichen saw Lu Xuan's expression, she pouted and expressed strong dissatisfaction.
Leng Mengyao and Shen Keyin were no longer surprised, but when they arrived on the island they realized that Boss Lu was the real black-hearted capitalist. He only made people work and never paid them wages.
"You, hurry up and lead the way for me. Find a flatter road to walk on, or you'll be the one carrying this little bit of gasoline."
After urging the girls behind him, Lu Xuan did not forget to warn the man in front of him to lead the way for him.
"I know, I know... Aren't I just looking for a smooth road?"
"What do you mean? You still think I'm nagging you? Damn, you've gotten too bold, haven't you?"
"Oh, my king, I was wrong, I was wrong..."
Qin Jicheng had just muttered a few words when Lu Xuan slapped him in the face. He didn't dare to say a word anymore.
In the fog, the group continued to advance southward.
About half an hour later, the fog in the jungle not only did not dissipate, but became even thicker.
"Lu Xuan, the fog is too heavy. Will we get lost?"
Leng Mengyao became worried at this time.
Lu Xuan did not expect that the fog would be so thick. He originally thought that with the help of the fog, he could more effectively launch a sneak attack on the cannibal tribe. However, it now seems that this foggy day is also a double-edged sword. At least now it is hindering the progress of his group.
"Watch the road carefully. If you go astray, your head will be torn apart."
At this time, they had already crossed the stream and entered the southern territory that Lu Xuan had never been to. Except for the man in front and Taylor who had come here twice occasionally, no one else knew how to go next.
"Don't worry, don't worry. I know what's going on. About ten minutes ahead, there's a huge banyan tree. If we continue walking south along this tree for half an hour, we'll reach the outskirts of the cannibal tribe."
Qin Jicheng seemed quite confident. He pointed in the direction of the south and made a promise with a pat on his chest.
"Taylor, have you been here before? Is there a banyan tree in front?"
Lu Xuan turned around and asked Taylor another question.
"I went there from the west those two times. I haven't walked this road before, but I have seen the big banyan tree he mentioned. It's quite spectacular. I've been to many places, but I've never seen such a huge banyan tree."
Taylor seemed very excited when talking about the banyan tree.
Seeing the other person's expression, Lu Xuan felt relieved. At least it meant that the boy in front of him was not lying.
However, the road here is really difficult to walk on, and the people behind me have to push and pull a cart loaded with gasoline, which greatly affects the speed of advancement.
"I'm so tired... Can't this lousy car have two wings?"
Miss Yin complained while pulling the cart, wishing she could just leave the cart alone.
Fortunately, we have enough manpower here. We can replace people when they are tired, which is more than enough to deal with this situation.
"Your Majesty, we are almost there, almost there. There are only small banyan trees here, and the big banyan tree is just ahead."
When they advanced a few hundred meters, Qin Jicheng, who was leading the way, suddenly pointed at a sturdy banyan tree nearby and shouted.
Lu Xuan turned his head away, his eyes involuntarily attracted by the banyan tree. He saw that its main branch stood tall and straight, with a diameter of three or four meters, like a giant dragon lying dormant on the earth.
What is even more shocking is that there are no less than twenty aerial roots of various sizes, like giant dragons with their heads lowered, hanging vertically from mid-air, intertwining with each other, and finally sinking deeply into the soil, forming a cluster of pillar roots connected by roots.
These supporting roots are arranged in an orderly manner, interwoven into a vast network, firmly anchoring the entire banyan tree in the embrace of Mother Earth, creating a unique landscape of multiple trunks on one tree, resembling both a fence and a natural screen.
My question is, is this called a "little banyan tree"?
Lu Xuan couldn't help but rub his head, very curious about what this man and the "big banyan tree" Taylor mentioned looked like?
The crowd pushed the carts and admired the banyan tree scenery along the way, and everyone looked very amazed.
"Wow, they say a single tree doesn't make a forest. This banyan tree feels like it's worth an entire jungle. It's so spectacular."
Yin Yichen did not forget to comment while appreciating the performance.
"This banyan tree is indeed called 'a single tree forms a forest.' Look... that's the big banyan tree right in front of us."
Taylor was still imparting knowledge to everyone, but when he looked up, he suddenly found that he had arrived at the foot of the big banyan tree.
Lu Xuan and the others also looked up at this moment, and saw a banyan tree that stretched as far as the eye could see standing before them...
"Is this a tree? Is it real?"
Everyone stared at the scene in front of them in astonishment...
“Wuwuwu…”
But at this moment, a sound similar to a horn suddenly sounded from the direction of the southern jungle...
