Chapter 695: A Mishap

Translator: Lordbluefire

Shen Ruojing was the first to sense something unusual.

She quickly turned her head to look at the far right of the crowd and immediately shouted, “Something is approaching!”

Ji Shuai was about to mock her, but seeing Shen Ruojing’s serious expression, he swallowed his sarcasm and also looked over.

A group of people waited for a long time but saw no movement. Ji Shuai couldn’t help but speak, “Princess, are you done? What could be there?”

Shen Ruojing immediately silenced him with a gesture.

Ji Shuai wanted to speak again, but when he met Shen Ruojing’s icy gaze, he swallowed his words.

Shen Ruojing gestured to the crowd around her.

Her gesture was simple and everyone understood it. She wanted everyone to gather together to avoid being defeated individually.

So, everyone looked at Ji Shuai.

Ji Shuai frowned, but considering they were outdoors and the place was so dangerous, he didn’t dare to ignore the situation. He nodded and everyone gathered around Shen Ruojing.

Ji Shuai asked in a low voice, “What did you find?”

Shen Ruojing took a deep breath. “I don’t know, but my intuition tells me that the thing in front of us is dangerous!”

She immediately looked at Yan Zixuan. “Call our people over!”

When the Yan Army’s soldiers came, to avoid provoking a fight, they kept a certain distance from the Ji Army’s soldiers.

If an attack really happened here, it would take them four or five minutes to run over, and by then, it would be too late to provide support!

Or to put it another way, even if they could provide support in time, the Ji Army would still suffer losses!

Before Yan Zixuan could speak, Ji Shuai sneered, “Isn’t it unnecessary? We have thirty armed people, so how could we be in danger? Princess, you wouldn’t be planning to get close to us and seize the water source, would you?”

Yan Zixuan, seeing him mention the water source again, couldn’t help but curse, “Ji Shuai, you must be thirsting to death in your past life, right? We all brought water. We won’t lack your bit!”

Ji Shuai was cursed at, but he didn’t mind and just looked at Yan Zixuan coldly. “It’s right to be more vigilant, and also what can your little water do? Who doesn’t want to have more of it?”

Yan Zixuan was fuming. If he could have contacted the command center and had not tried several satellite calls on the way back without success, confirming that something had indeed happened, he wouldn’t have to look at Ji Shuai’s face here.

He sneered, “That’s right, your water must have a problem. After all, it’s the supply given by Prince Jing Yi, so it’s understandable that you value it so much!”

Ji Shuai scoffed, “At this point, you’re still saying our supplies have a problem? Let me tell you, our supplies are excellent! No problem at all! Even if a beast really comes, we have guns and we can deal with it!”

After shouting, Ji Shuai immediately looked at the soldiers around him. “Brothers, prepare for battle!”

The rest of Ji Army immediately raised their guns and aimed at the grass ahead.

There was still no movement in the grass.

Ji Shuai scoffed and looked at Shen Ruojing. “Women are always overreacting, seeing enemies in every shadow. There’s nothing there. Perhaps the Princess is just seeing things?”

As his words fell, a huge creature suddenly jumped out from behind the grass!!

The thing was dark and stood up to three meters tall. It was actually a black gorilla!

The gorilla had well-proportioned muscles and looked very strong. It was clear that it was not to be messed with.

Everyone present gasped in surprise, immediately frightened.

After all, imagining was one thing and actually seeing it was another. This island had been isolated from the world, and the size of this gorilla was obviously not right.

People immediately panicked. They instinctively raised their guns at the gorilla and then quickly retreated.

Ji Shuai’s face was pale with fright.

Although thirty people against a gorilla sounded quite alright, the sudden appearance of this creature still gave them a scare.

Yan Zixuan immediately looked at Ji Shuai. “Do you see now? I told you, the Princess is very sharp. She wasn’t lying at all!”

Upon hearing his words, Ji Shuai was immediately angry. “Is this the time to say these things?”

After saying this, he immediately looked at Shen Ruojing and then sneered, “Even if there really is a gorilla, so what? As I’ve said, the thirty of us can handle it!”

With that, he signaled his men, who were in sync with his thoughts, and they immediately spread out, directly surrounding the gorilla.

Shen Ruojing immediately looked at those people. “Don’t shoot! There must be something wrong with your guns!”

If Jing Yi wanted to deal with her, other than sabotaging the water bottles to make their lives inconvenient, the only thing left would be to tamper with their guns.

Unfortunately, Ji Shuai didn’t listen to her at all. He just sneered, “We’ve checked our guns ourselves, and there’s definitely no problem!”

He was the first to aim at the gorilla and fire his gun!
