The two waves of people were talking and laughing together, as if the unpleasantness that had happened before was an illusion.

At this time, there were three people sitting around a bonfire, it was Xue Zha, Hu Hai and Jiang Fan.

Xue Zha deliberately took out a water bladder from his gourd, which had already been filled with good wine by him.

He wouldn't be so stupid as to appear directly holding the wine jar, if he was seen by someone who cared about it, he was really afraid that he wouldn't be able to wake up if he fell asleep one night.

He is still very clear about the truth that wealth is not exposed.

Xue Zha put the previous sea beast bead directly on the ground, and without waiting for the reaction of the "wild man" on the other side, he took out another sea beast bead from the palm of his hand and put it over.

As he put the sea beast beads on the ground one by one, the dark tree hole gradually lit up.

But Xue Zha didn't care, he listened to the heavier and heavier breathing on the other side, hooked the corners of his mouth, and stretched out his right hand to make a gesture of please.

"Although I don't know if you are a man or a woman, you must have been here for some time, don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person, just because of a sudden storm at sea, I came here just to escape. ”

Xue Zha made corresponding movements while speaking, since the other party also spoke just now, it means that the other party is also a human being.

Maybe it was just because it was too dark in the tree cave and the other party's hair was scattered, so Xue didn't distinguish the other party's gender.

Xue Zha saw that the other party was already a little moved, but he was still a little hesitant and didn't dare to move forward, and he sighed slightly in his heart.

Although he also felt that more things were better than less, it was not easy to see a living person on a desert island, and he felt that he couldn't go without doing something.

"Alright, since you don't want to speak, forget it, give you these beads, I'll go back, and I'll leave when the storm stops. ”

Xue Zha got up, patted the dust on his body, and then deliberately distanced himself from the other party, and then turned around and walked towards the outside of the tree hole.

The "wild man" seemed to understand Xue Zha's words, and his attention was no longer on the sea beast bead, but turned his head to look at Xue Zha.

The "wild man" also took a few steps back, and distanced himself from Xue Zha again, his body seemed to be still trembling faintly, Xue Zha noticed this, but he didn't stop, and walked out of the tree hole directly.

It was dark outside the tree hole, partly because of the rain and partly because it was getting late.

However, after the storm and in the woods, the air is exceptionally fresh.

Rao is Xue Zha couldn't help but take a big breath.

He didn't look back, but just found a vine and slid it down.

Xue Zha stepped on the ground, shook off his clothes, and walked towards the place where he stopped.

Not long after he left, in the hollow of the tree, the "wild man" folded his hands in front of his chest, the glowing blue light flickered, and he brushed the hair in front of him, revealing the face of a man covered in wind and frost.

He looked in the direction of Xue Zhe's departure, and his lips opened and closed to make a hoarse sound.

"Thank you...... Thank you. ”

The man's voice was as muffled as sandpaper, and if you didn't listen carefully, you wouldn't understand what those three words meant.

But no matter what, Xue Zha couldn't hear it anymore.

Xue Zhe returned to his resting place, first checked the mermaid that was still hanging, and after finding that there was no sign of breaking free, he reflexively returned to the campfire.

The bonfire had been extinguished, but there was still some heat left in the burned wood, Xue Zhe spread out his hand and rubbed it, and after regaining some warmth, his body leaned against the tree again.

I don't know if it's a problem with the wild fruits I ate before, Xue Zha felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach.

He looked at the surrounding woods, frowned, and ran in one direction.

When he searched around and found a position that was both ventilated and relatively easy to cover, he was relieved to untie his clothes and pants.

On the other side, in the tree next to the campfire, the "savage"-like man just now held the branch with one hand, his legs clasped in front of his chest, and his eyes kept staring at the mermaid hanging from the tree.

The mermaid has been hanging upside down, the blood is flowing backwards, and it has long been extremely uncomfortable, and it has never closed its eyes.

At this time, he seemed to smell a strange smell, and his body turned suddenly, and his eyes looked at the man in the tree.

"Ah......h

The mermaid's gray pupils were extremely terrifying in this dim atmosphere, and the man's body trembled in fright, and several sea beast beads rolled down his leaf robe, clinking and smashing on the stones on the ground.

The mermaid saw the man, and even more so the sea beast bead that fell to the ground, and suddenly let out a sharp cry from its mouth, and at the same time its body kept twisting, as if it saw something tempting.

The man in the tree heard the mermaid's cry and became even more panicked, but he was still reluctant to let go of the falling sea beast beads and wanted to jump under the tree, but because of the mermaid's cry, his body was constantly trembling.

Xue Zha heard the mermaid's cry from afar, although he didn't really hear it, he was a little uneasy.

It stands to reason that the mermaid has been hanging for a long time, except for the ghost screaming when it came ashore, and it has never made any sound since then, which is no different from death.

If it weren't for Xue Zhe's confirmation several times during the period and seeing that the mermaid was still open, he would have thought that the mermaid was really dead.

He knew very well that this was a protective mechanism for the merfolk, and once their lives were threatened, after the initial resistance was ineffective, they would fall into a low-energy mode, conserving their stamina, and planning to flee at the first opportunity.

"Isn't that good?"

Xue Zha hurriedly finished solving the problem, put on his clothes and pants, and hurried to the campfire.

But as soon as he came out of the woods, he saw the "wild man" who lived in the trees before.

And this "wild man" was lying on the ground, reaching out to pick up the fallen sea beast beads.

Xue Zha turned his head to look at the mermaid and found that the other party had been staring at this "wild man".

In fact, the mermaid has been looking at the sea beast bead in the wild man's hand, but Xue Zha thought it was staring at the "wild man".

"It turns out that this guy is hungry, no wonder, he was still eating human arms before, and it seems that he is treating humans as food. ”

Xue Zha was relieved, but before he could think clearly, the "wild man" on the ground hurriedly climbed to the tree, although he only picked up one sea beast bead, but because of Xue Zha's appearance, he didn't dare to pick up the remaining two.

Xue Zhe saw the "wild man" return to the tree, still staring at the ground with his head down, he swept around and smiled slightly.

"It turned out that a few sea beast beads had dropped, no wonder. ”

Xue Zha saw the remaining two sea beast beads on the ground, and he walked straight over, bending down to pick up the two.

When he was about to return the Sea Beast Bead to the "wild man", and at the same time passed by the mermaid's side, the mermaid suddenly twisted his body, stretched out an arm from the golden silk net, and grabbed it directly at Xue Zha's palm.

Although Xue Zha didn't react for a while, he subconsciously dodged back, and a fishy wind swept across his chest, directly tearing off a piece of the clothes on his chest.

"Good fellow, what a cunning!

Xue Zha stepped back a few steps, looked at the torn shirt, and then looked at the mermaid's eyes, which were already a little more ruthless.

"Actually, I'm curious, how do you know about our existence, and you seem to know some basic information just by looking at you, maybe you can't even talk about information, just a name. ”

After Xue Zha's words heard the mermaid's words, a smile appeared on his face.

He moved a rock and sat down next to the mermaid, looking at it with interest.
