Xue Zhe found some dry wood and directly set up a bonfire, which drove away some of the chill.

He didn't put the merfolk around the campfire, but hung them directly from a tree, and there was no shelter.

The merfolk were drenched throughout, and the rain seemed to be getting heavier and heavier.

Xue Zha didn't care about it, the mermaids who lived in the sea couldn't be too dry, what if they were roasted to death?

And the golden silk net that binds it cannot be baked by flames, this kind of silk is not afraid of water, but it is very afraid of fire, and basically burns when it encounters fire.

Tethering it to a tree also prevents it from escaping, and who knows if this guy will be a monster on the ground.

Without any support, even if it wanted to do something, it couldn't do anything at all.

Xue Zhe sat by the campfire, took out a ginseng again, and threw it into his mouth with some pain.

"This thing is one less to eat, and at sea, ginseng has become a rare resource. ”

When Xue Zha came to sea from the Cloud Kingdom, he filled his sea-swallowing gourd with a lot of ginseng, but he consumed a lot of it before reaching the Holy Island.

He didn't add anything after entering the Holy Courtyard, and even less when he stepped into the sea again.

After Xue Zha ate the ginseng clean, he sat cross-legged and closed his eyes at the same time, turned his hand over, and the sea beast beads just now were taken out by him again.

His mental power was recovering rapidly, but this time, it took a full stick of incense for his mental power to recover half.

It has not been long since the last mental power recovery, and the continuous use of ginseng to recover will cause the body to resist for a period of time, and the recovery speed will drop significantly.

Xue Zha slowly opened his eyes, and at this moment, the sky suddenly exploded, followed by a crisp thunderclap.

His eyelids jumped.

"Which Taoist friend is crossing the catastrophe? Or is it a brother swearing? God can't stand it. ”

Xue Zhe got up and shook his robe, reached out and grabbed two pieces of wood from the side and threw them into the bonfire, and then continued to sit back.

He turned his head to look at the mermaid hanging from the book not far away, and found that it was also looking at him, but its gray-white eyes were very terrifying.

"This guy has become quieter, he was still scared just now, but now he is honest. ”

Xue Zha didn't care why the mermaid screamed before, his mental power had not yet recovered, and it had been exhausted once before, and now he only felt that the whole person was extremely dizzy, and a feeling of dizziness hit.

Xue Zhe supported his body, took out the map from the sea swallowing gourd, and looked at it again.

The wind and rain continued to sound and thunder, but Xue Zha was not affected in the slightest, he kept looking at the map in his hand while taking out a carbon rod and marking something on it.

After the time of half a pillar of incense, the map in Xue Zha's hand had been circled in several places, he put the map away, stretched his waist and yawned, looked up at the top of his head, and found that although there were a few drips, it did not affect him, he found a big tree next to him, leaned on it and fell asleep.

Xue Zhe slept very comfortably this night, and when he woke up again, the sound of the rain was much quieter, although there was still wind, but the thunder had not sounded again.

He got up, grabbed a few pieces of wood, threw them into the fire that was about to go out, and was about to sit down when his stomach rumbled.

He raised his hand and touched his stomach, thinking that the gourd was full of sea beast corpses, or some dried fruits and candied fruits and other foods that were easy to preserve, and his stomach let out a protest.

During the time he was at sea, except for the few days when he was on Tang Long'er's ship, he ate well, and the rest of the time he relied on the food in the gourd to satisfy his stomach, and he really couldn't eat it.

Xue Zha walked to the edge of the forest and saw that the rain was much lighter, so he prepared to go to the interior of the island to see if he could find something to eat.

When he left, he didn't forget to check the mermaid's golden silk net, and when he found that there was no problem, he turned around and walked towards the woods.

When Xue Zha had just walked into the forest, he felt as if a pair of eyes were staring at him, and although he turned his head several times, he still didn't find anything.

"Strange? Could it be that I'm hallucinating? Well, maybe I'm too nervous. ”

Xue Zhe shook his head, and after confirming that there was nothing abnormal around, he used the short knife in his hand to open the way, and kept walking towards the center of the island.

Not long after Xue Zha left, a person walked out from behind the trunk of a tree, his eyes were like eagle falcons, staring at the direction of Xue Zha leaving.

The next moment, he jumped onto another tree like an ape, without making a sound.

Xue Zha found some wild fruits on the other side of the island, although they were not fully ripe and had a slight sour taste, but it was not easy for him to eat fresh fruits.

When Xue Zhe ate seven or eight fruits to fill his stomach, he picked the remaining fruits and stuffed them directly into the sea swallowing gourd.

Xue Zha, who had just eaten enough, began to wander around the island after seeing that the rain could not stop for a while and a half.

Xue Zha had dreamed of being a pirate before, and in his previous life, he longed for it when he watched similar pirate movies, especially when he saw pirates burying their treasures on a desert island.

"Looking at the state of this small island, it seems that no one has been here for a long time, I wonder if there will be a treasure left by pirates?"

Xue Zha began to search with this purpose in mind, and with his realm, he really found some unusual traces.

For example, in the nest of a low tree, some bird bones and some broken eggshells were found, but no signs of struggle were found.

If there is a conflict between predators or other hostile creatures, there should be some traces left in or around the nest.

And looking at the smoothness of the bones and the eggshell that is split in two, it doesn't look like it was killed by other creatures, but it looks like it was eaten by someone and put back in the end.

Xue Zha was also frightened by this thought, this kind of island, no matter how you look at it, there is no trace of human activity, is it possible that person still lives in a tree?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but raise his head and look up, but he saw a tree hole in the canopy of a huge tree.

The hollow was obscured by a large number of leaves, but the leaves were not like those on the tree.

"Am I guessing right? ”

Xue Zhe thought of it and did it, shouting the idiom [jump up] in his mouth, his legs were slightly bent, and he kicked upwards hard, and his body fell directly on the canopy of the tree in the next moment.

Xue Zhe looked around, and after finding that there was no one, he slowly walked to the location of the tree hole, and when he raised his hand to remove the leaves that were blocking the tree hole, he found that it was so dark that he couldn't see anything.

He took out a second-order sea beast bead from the sea gourd and walked into the tree hole with his legs raised.

And the moment he just stepped into the tree hole, a dark shadow suddenly appeared behind him.

Directly obscure the light projected from outside the tree hole.

Xue Zha turned his head suddenly, he flipped his other hand, and the short knife was directly held in his hand, and he said at the same time.

"There are people here, who are you, what are you doing with me!"

Xue Zhe took a step back, put the short knife in his hand on his chest, and looked at the person at the entrance of the cave with a different color on his face.

At the mouth of the tree stood a "wild man", dressed in a garment made of leaves, with loose hair, a dark complexion, and a small stature, but a man who could be seen to be a man.

At this time, this "wild man" seemed to be a little excited, raised his hands and kept gesturing towards Xue Zha, and at the same time said a few words in his mouth.

"Beads...... Bead...... Person...... Merman. ”

Xue Zha looked at the "wild man" in front of him constantly making various gestures, but he didn't attack him, he stretched out his hand suspiciously, pointed at the sea beast bead and asked.

"You're talking about this bead?"
