"What's wrong? Why do you keep picking up stones from the ground? Anying, ever since you came in, I've felt like something's off with you. What exactly happened?"

Ye Chen, who was cautiously following beside them, asked. After all, when it came to life on the Deserted Island, Ye Chen didn't have much experience. He was now pinning all his hopes on Anying.

However, Anying is fundamentally still a woman, and even if she had some prior training in survival on a Deserted Island, she believed that if they recklessly ventured into unknown dangers, it would surely pose a tremendous challenge for them.

"I don't know. Ever since I entered this forest, it seems like everything has started to become unclear. Moreover, what I saw just now weren't stones but rather animal droppings."

"What? Animal droppings? So that means there really are animals here?"

"Yes, it's very likely that unknown creatures exist, but it's unclear what they are."

"That's impossible. Earlier, we analyzed that if Yaru's father survived on this Deserted Island for nearly 20 years, then how did these animals coexist with him? I don't think they could coexist peacefully."

"Exactly, which is why I'm puzzled as to why we're seeing these animal droppings. Also, I took a closer look just now, and the size of each pile of droppings is quite large, indicating that the animal must be big."

"If that's the case, wouldn't continuing forward expose us to another kind of danger?"

"It's possible, but to be honest, I haven't truly experienced it yet."

"Before, we analyzed that our current location is less than ten kilometers from the shore, and now, if we want to circle to the other side of the island, I estimate the distance is quite far. Are we still on the edge of the island?"

"Yes, that's probably the case. The further we are on the edge, the less dangerous it is, but the further we go inside, the more dangerous it becomes."

What Anying is saying isn't meant to scare anyone; it's simply inferred from the current real-time changes in the terrain here.

But whether that truly reflects the situation, Anying can't be certain. After all, every Deserted Island has its unique history, so none of this changes anything.

Lin Yaru, however, is not daunted by the difficulties they face.

Even though they talked about the dangers, Lin Yaru felt that it didn't pose much of a threat to her.

Her goal was simply to find traces of her father's life here, to prove what she wanted to.

But if they truly saw these beasts, wouldn't that mean her father hadn't lived on the island?

Did they make the wrong judgment from the beginning, or was it Anying who made an error in her assumptions about the island they chose this time?

As the three of them slowly moved forward, Ye Chen suddenly heard a low, deep roar from ahead.

He immediately crouched down and quickly pulled Anying down with him.

The three of them quietly hid behind a large tree, listening intently to the sounds ahead. There were indeed some animal roars.

The sound didn't quite resemble tigers or lions. If it wasn't a tiger, then what kind of beast could it be?

From the sound alone, it seemed large, making it feel as though danger was closing in on them step by step.

He took a few quick steps forward, letting the two women hide behind him.

"You two stay behind me; I'll go over there to observe the terrain. Don't move or come out without my permission, understood?"

"No, we don't even know what kind of creature this is. It's too risky for you to go out now. You should take some tools with you."

As she spoke, Anying reached into her bag and took out a long stick. When pressed, it emitted electrical currents.

"Take this. If you press the switch, it releases high-voltage electricity. Let me tell you, no matter how fierce an animal is, it'll react strongly to this, so take it as a precaution."

"Alright, I'll take it then. You two watch from here, and I'll be right back. If there's real danger ahead, we definitely can't proceed for now."

As Ye Chen spoke, he held the stick tightly and slowly moved forward.

In his hand, the stick felt like a cane, probing the underbrush as he moved forward, wary of any sudden danger.

After circling and moving forward, Ye Chen discovered that directly ahead, slightly to the left, there was a tall grass area.

At this moment, the grass swayed constantly, clearly indicating the presence of something inside.

Ye Chen reached out his hand, feeling the air lightly. At this moment, there wasn't even a breeze, so it couldn't be the wind causing the movement.
