After dinner, a few people surrounded Li Chen.

“Li Chen, don’t keep us in suspense. Tell us quickly.” These people wanted to know what Li Chen wanted them to do.

“Let’s go. Bring your weapons. I’ll take you there.”

Everyone did not understand, but they still took their weapons and followed Li Chen out.

“Li Chen, where are you guys going?” Zhao Yu saw Li Chen go out and quickly ran out to ask.

“It’s fine. Don’t worry, it’ll be fine. We’ll be back soon,” Li Chen replied.

Then, they arrived at the place where they had been ambushed during the day. Li Chen gestured for everyone to hide in the grass.

“Li Chen, I understand. So you asked us to follow you to carry out an ambush.”

“That’s right. You should have said so earlier. This is too exciting.”

Everyone immediately reacted. Li Chen wanted to bring them back at night to see if they could find any traces of the savages.

“Everyone, pay attention to your feet and take a closer look to see if you can find any traces of the savages.”

At night, with only moonlight, the visibility was very low. In this environment, it was very troublesome for everyone to search for something. Suddenly, someone found something.

“Li Chen, come and take a look. The fruits we picked during the day.” Someone picked up the fruit that Li Chen and the others had picked during the day. It should have fallen when the savages retreated with the fruits.

“Looks like they’re in that direction. Chase!”

Everyone continued to chase in said direction. Along the way, they saw traces left behind by the savages. Everyone followed the traces and searched.

“Ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji…” From afar, they could hear the conversation of the savages.

“Looks like this is the place. Everyone, be careful and hide well.”

Li Chen and the others found a slope. Using the difference in height, they climbed to the bottom of the slope. Li Chen carefully raised his head and saw that on the slope, the savages were surrounding a bonfire.

“These b*stards! They look like they’re celebrating.”

“Nothing is certain. Let’s wait and see.”

“Let’s act according to the situation. Don’t be anxious. I’m afraid there will be danger,” Li Chen reminded everyone.

The savages continued to jump around the bonfire. It seemed that this was their special celebration. Then, they took out meat and placed it on the fire to roast.

“These savages even know how to roast meat,” someone said in surprise.

“Some savages even eat humans.”

“Stop talking. Everyone, follow me.”

While the savages were celebrating, Li Chen led everyone forward bit by bit. Finally, they arrived at a grassland closer to them.

Not far away was the savages’ tribe. From the outside, the savages’ tribe looked better than Li Chen’s camp. It looked that savages would also build their settlements.

“Does everyone want to go in?” Li Chen wanted to ask for everyone’s opinions.

“Go, after all, we are already here. Why should we not go in?”

“That’s right. I didn’t expect to be able to find the savages here. This is too exciting.”

Everyone agreed to go to the savages’ tribe to see what was going on inside.

Li Chen and the others hurriedly bent down and ran. At this moment, the savages were still busy celebrating and did not notice that someone had already barged into their tribe.

In the savages’ tribe, Li Chen hurriedly instructed everyone to pay attention to their surroundings. Then, he searched around with everyone. All the houses seemed to be filled with things.

“You don’t say, these savages are living quite well. They have a lot of things stored.”

“Look at that house. There’s still light inside.”

Hearing this person’s discovery, Li Chen quickly ran over with the others and looked in through the window of the house. There was something that looked like a long-haired monster inside, but from its actions, it seemed to be a human.

“Hey, are you a human or a savage?”

“Are you crazy? What if it’s a savage?”

One of the men immediately slapped the other and berated him for shouting at the window just now.

“And you are?”

“Ah, the savage is speaking.”

“Are you stupid? Can savages understand us?”

When Li Chen heard his companion’s conversation, he could not help but secretly laugh in his heart. Since that person had replied, it must be a human. However, why was this person here?

“You’re human? So are we.”

Li Chen quickly replied.

“What? You’re humans? How did you get here?”

“Sigh, it’s a long story. Let’s get you out first.”

Then, Li Chen and the others began to tear down the door of the house. This door was designed by the savages to be very difficult to tear down from the inside. However, it was very simple to break the door and window down from the outside.

“These savages are quite smart.”

“Cut the crap. Hurry up and save him.”

Everyone saved this person together. Then, a strong man volunteered to carry him and run if he couldn’t do it. Under the cover of the night, they quickly ran back to Li Chen’s camp.

“This is?” When the others in the residence saw Li Chen and the others carrying a long-haired monster back, they were extremely afraid.

“Everyone, don’t be afraid. He’s also a human, but he’s been imprisoned by the savages for too long.”

After Li Chen’s explanation, everyone reacted simultaneously. Then, they brought him water and food. Of course, there was also a knife. They hoped that he would deal with the hair on his body and even brought him a set of clean clothes.

Unexpectedly, this person did not do anything and just stared blankly at Li Chen and the others.

“So, you’re human too?”

“That’s right. What did you think? We’re savages?” Zhao Yu teased.

“Then I beg you, I beg you to save my daughter.” As he spoke, this person knelt down in front of everyone.

“Please, I’ve finally waited for her. Go quickly. She’s in the savages’ tribe. I’m afraid she’ll be in danger if you’re late.”

“What? Your daughter?” Li Chen was surprised.

It turned out that the person who was rescued was called Li Yi. He had brought his wife and children to this island for a vacation many years ago. However, they were thirsty on the way, so they went into the island to pick wild fruits. Inside, they saw a place with a lot of fruits, so they quickly went to pick them.

However, what they did not expect was that just as they were plucking, the savages came out. Not only did they kill his wife on the spot, but they also imprisoned them in the tribe.

“So the skull in the orchard was your wife?” The man was enlightened.

“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go!”

Hearing what happened to Li Yi, everyone sympathized with him, so they quickly picked up their weapons and prepared to set off.

“Wait, I’ll go with you!”

Li Yi also wanted to follow Li Chen and the others. “Rest here. Trust us.” Li Chen stopped him.

“No, I’ll go too. I’m afraid you won’t be able to find the place if you go alone.
