Discover a New Island

The less than one meter high stone wall, stacked in a U shape, covered with some palm leaves, was simple and crude.

But this small place provided warmth and comfort to several people, who fell asleep quickly after lying down.

Lu Zhe was awakened by the cry of a strange animal before six in the morning.

The howl was somewhat like a wolf, but sharper and thinner than a wolf's howl. The barking sound was also somewhat like a dog's, but shorter than a dog's bark.

Lu Zhe thought the food chain on the island should not be enough to sustain the food source for wolves or wild dogs.

He wondered what kind of strange creature it was.

Should he catch one to eat?

Not yet!

Looking at the sea waves, they were no longer as turbulent as at night.

Looking at the campfire, that little bit of firewood was almost burnt out, so Lu Zhe hurriedly added some more, then got a coconut, drank some coconut water, and roasted some coconut meat on a rock.

The three girls were sleeping soundly!

Looking at the time, it was after six thirty, and the sun had long risen from the east.

Lu Zhe stuck several sticks in the ground to mark the direction where the sun first rose.

Then, Lu Zhe began to think about the next plan!

First: No matter how good this island is, he has to find a way back to Volcano Island!

After all, Sister Bing and Ning Shu are still there, and the disappearance of their companions must make them extremely worried. If it's a short period of time, they may be able to encourage each other to get through it, but if it's a long time, they may not be able to withstand the tremendous pressure physically and mentally!

So, going back the same way to Volcano Island is the first thing to do.

But it's not so easy to get back.

It's not like making a bamboo raft and casually crossing the sea as if visiting relatives.

A good plan and adequate preparation must be made.

A slightly larger raft is definitely needed!

Store some fresh water and food in preparation for the return trip to the island. There should also be a shark repellent.

Finally, calculate the currents and wind direction before embarking on the way back to Volcano Island.

Currently, having just arrived at this small island and narrowly escaped death, hastily returning to the island without complete preparation would be like pushing everyone into a fire pit.

First take a look at what usable materials are on the small island!

Collect them and then make the next plan!

Leave the shelter alone?

No!

Some unknown

"Yao Yao, Qian Qian, Guo Er, you lazy bugs, get up..."

The three girls mumbled and turned over to continue sleeping.

They were probably exhausted!

It seemed that only Qian Qian was a little spirited.

"Qian Qian, take good care of the camp and them. I'm going to collect some fresh water and food as reserve supplies before we return to the island."

"Oh, can you handle it yourself?"

"Don't worry, this is no problem for me at all!"

But Jiang Yao shook her head: "No, there are too many unpredictable factors on a newly arrived island. I think I heard wolf howls in the middle of the night. It's too dangerous to go alone."

As she spoke, she washed her face: "I'll go with you!"

"Okay, Qian Qian, take care of Guo Er!"

"Got it!"

Lu Zhe cut a tree branch to use as a probe and went into the woods from the southeast hillside.

He carefully searched the woods and easily found some fish mint and wild strawberries.

These things could provide the carbohydrates the body needed.

Jiang Yao also discovered wild raspberries and proudly waved them in front of Lu Zhe: "How about it, aren't I very capable too!"

Lu Zhe nodded and said, "It seems that big breasts don't equal brainlessness doesn't apply to everyone, you and Sister Bing are exceptions."

Mentioning Sister Bing, and recalling Sister Bing's determined and sad eyes, Jiang Yao sighed and her tone became more serious.

"Lu Zhe, even though saying this makes me lose face, I still want to say...I'm a little unsure if we can go back?"

"Hmm...do you mean back to our city, or Volcano Island?"

"Our...Volcano Island."

"Hmm..." Lu Zhe thought about it carefully: "It's much easier to get back to Volcano Island than to get back to the city. It's still possible."

"That's good then..."

At this moment, she didn't continue asking about the difficulty of getting back to the city.

"Let's keep looking! Our goal is not just to fill our stomachs, but also to find fresh water and materials to make rafts and small boats. Bamboo, light wood, and rope."

"Ok..."

Jiang Yao nodded, and the two continued to search inland on the island. Lu Zhe discovered a rift valley.

It felt as if a mountain had split into two parts, with high mountains on both sides and a gorge several dozen meters long in between.

Where exactly it led was unclear.

From a distance, the gorge was filled with tall trees, horizontal vines and wild branches. There were dozens of kinds of wild grass growing more than a meter high on the ground, extremely dense.

Birds of paradise of various shapes and colorful butterflies danced among the vines!

Occasionally there were one or two monkeys that let out loud cries, as if welcoming guests from afar.

From afar, it was as if it was heaven!

But from an onlooker's perspective, it was a completely different feeling.

Hiding in the grass were unknown venomous snakes, on the branches were caterpillars as thick as fingers, on the tree trunks elegantly crawled red centipedes, and on the big snails parasitized by amphistomes, their beautiful swaying antennae made people want to pick out the worms inside.

There were also frogs with yellow-green patterns that blended into their surroundings like the lizards.

Lu Zhe was extremely careful leading Jiang Yao forward. In a place like this, a slight carelessness could lead to poisoning and death.

It looked like heaven from afar, but hell up close!

This place was just like that!

It was really more primitive than Volcano Island.

"Lu Zhe, even though saying this makes me lose face, I still have to say...I kind of want to leave this place...Oh!"

As she spoke, her hand pressed down on a large black and white spotted worm, about as thick as a thumb and eight centimeters long, which burst with a "pop", covering her hand in juices.

"So gross!"

"This stuff is edible, it's high in protein and has five times the calories of beef."

"Please stop, I won't eat this kind of thing, and does this kind of thing always get people's hands all dirty..."

Lu Zhe found a few blades of grass to wipe her hand and said, "Nonsense, cucumbers don't!"

Just then, Jiang Yao stepped on something that made a "crunch" sound, giving her a fright.

"What was that!"

Lu Zhe bent down, and under his feet was a pile of bones!

On closer inspection, they were surprisingly the bones of a sheep, with a large pile of rotting and dried meat. The wheel-like ribs were exposed in rings!

What she had stepped on and broken was one of the sheep's ribs.
