Looking at that special butterfly over there, Ye Qiu was speechless. Mia'er was leading people to the temptation of crime.
"You don't have to spread it that wide..."
Ye Qiu's words made Mia'er very angry. First, he asked someone to spread a little, then not spread it so wide. What exactly did he want?
Ye Qiu seemed to notice Mia'er's dissatisfaction and embarrassment. He lightly coughed and then, without saying much, continued to suck out the poisonous blood.
When the blood turned bright red, Ye Qiu stopped sucking and then tore a piece of cloth from his own clothes to bandage Mia'er's wound.
"The poisonous blood has been sucked out, but to be safe, you'll need to pay more attention later," Ye Qiu advised.
"Hmm..."
Mia'er responded and tried to stand, but she found herself completely powerless. She nearly stumbled and fell, not knowing whether it was due to the aftereffects of the snake bite or the weakness from Ye Qiu's suction, or perhaps both.
Quickly and deftly, Ye Qiu caught Mia'er, saying, "Let me carry you."
Mia'er said nothing and dared not look at Ye Qiu, but by holding onto him, she tacitly agreed to his suggestion.
Seeing Mia'er agree, Ye Qiu carefully helped her put on her pants and then carried her back to the camp.
"Mia'er Sis, Ye Qiu, where did you go?"
Sha Beibei looked curiously at the two returning together. Wasn't Mia'er Sis going alone for a private matter? Why did Ye Qiu carry her back?
Feeling Sha Beibei's gaze sweeping over her, Mia'er felt a bit uneasy and quickly said, "I accidentally twisted my ankle on the way back, and Ye Qiu happened to pass by and helped carry me back."
Not knowing if it was due to a guilty conscience, Mia'er used a random excuse.
Fortunately, there was no lighting here, and Sha Beibei didn't notice Mia'er's difference, so she believed her words and didn't ask further.
The three of them lay in the simple shelter and soon fell asleep.
The events today had been overwhelming, keeping everyone's nerves constantly on edge.
First, a member of the Blood Cross appeared with a gun. Then, the airplane lost control, exploded, fell into the sea, faced a storm, and encountered various jungle crises. Each of these events pushed people to the brink of life and death. It's good that they didn't break down.
The night passed without incident.
The dawn comes early over the ocean; before the sun fully rises, everyone is already waking up from their dreams.
For now, they are temporarily safe, but it's evident that too many unpredictable factors remain on this island, never allowing them to feel completely at ease.
"This island is huge; I think we need to explore it further. We could try dividing into small teams for reconnaissance."
Once everyone was up, Ye Qiu shared his thoughts.
"But those ferocious beasts in the jungle are too fierce. If we split up, we won't stand a chance against them," someone voiced their concern.
Others nodded in agreement after hearing this. Those beasts were so ferocious they didn't fear crowds. It's no exaggeration to say that no matter how many people there were, they were merely like sheep to be slaughtered.
"How about this: after yesterday's scouting, the outer perimeter doesn't seem to have those ferocious beasts. You can check the periphery, and I'll go deeper alone," Ye Qiu proposed.
He felt this island wasn't as simple as it seemed, and if he didn't thoroughly understand it, he wouldn't be satisfied.
"Alright."
Everyone knew Ye Qiu's strength, and having him explore the deeper parts shouldn't pose too much of an issue.
"I want to go as well."
Surprisingly, Mia'er also expressed a desire to accompany Ye Qiu.
"Aren't you afraid of the beasts deep in the jungle?" Ye Qiu asked curiously.
After all, everyone had seen with their own eyes just how dangerous the beasts in the jungle's depths were yesterday.
"I'm not afraid." Mia'er shook her head, saying, "With you here, what is there to fear?"
"Uh..." Ye Qiu rubbed his nose and said no more.
"Beibei Sis, are you going?" Mia'er turned her head to look at Sha Beibei again.
"I, I..."
The terrifyingly large beasts like leopards and tigers were extremely intimidating yesterday. Sha Beibei had never seen anything like it, so she was naturally afraid. As a result, she didn't agree immediately; she seemed a bit conflicted.
"Why don't you join another small team? Explore the perimeter; it shouldn't be too much of a problem," Ye Qiu suggested.
Sha Beibei wanted to follow Ye Qiu, but remembering those beasts, she chose to back out and joined a small team from Huaxia to explore the periphery.
Ye Qiu and Mia'er then ventured deeper into the jungle together.
Seeing Ye Qiu pull out a dagger from somewhere, Mia'er curiously asked, "Where did you get that dagger?"
"I used to be in the military, so I naturally carry a military dagger with me."
Ye Qiu generally fought barehanded, but he had a habit of carrying a dagger because it was handy for dealing with certain tasks, like this situation.
The deeper they went into the jungle, the denser the vegetation became. The complex terrain didn't bother Ye Qiu much, but it was difficult for Mia'er.
Ye Qiu walked ahead, using the dagger to clear branches in the way, making it easier for Mia'er to walk.
In the jungle, it was hard to tell the passage of time, and after a while, Ye Qiu suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Mia'er asked curiously, seeing Ye Qiu halt suddenly.
"There's movement!" Ye Qiu said, gripping his dagger tightly, ready for combat.
Mia'er quickly moved closer to Ye Qiu, scanning the area.
"Rustle, rustle..."
A moment later, a series of unusual noises echoed.
Then they saw a section of the jungle up ahead being pushed apart, revealing a head.
The head was about the size of an adult's, only... only...
"Snake, snake..."
Yes, it was a snake! The snake's head was as large as an adult human's!
Seeing its flickering tongue, Mia'er panicked. The world's largest python might look like a mere snakelet next to this one!
Oh, my God, what is this place? Why are the beasts here so monstrous!
Mia'er's teeth chattered, and her body trembled; everything here far exceeded her imagination. What kind of feeling could it be to be watched by a snake as thick as a barrel, winding its countless meters-long body?
