"Isn't there just a small mountain over there? If it doesn't work, we can go over there and see what's going on."

"Okay, let's wait for a while until we've fully regained our strength. Then we'll go take a look."

"No need, I'm completely fine now."

After about 20 minutes of adjustment, Lin Yaru indeed felt her body was starting to relax.

"Whether we can or not, it won't make much of a difference, but if needed, we can rest a little longer."

"No need, I'm fine now. Besides, these energy drinks and chocolates have fully helped me recover my strength."

As she said this, Lin Yaru stood up from the ground and stretched her limbs. Indeed, this brief rest had greatly eased her body.

"Alright, let's go over now."

Saying this, Ye Chen nodded. Actually, from Ye Chen's perspective, time was precious for them now too.

Saving some time would be a great thing for Ye Chen, so since it's confirmed that Yaru is fine, there's nothing left to say.

The two stood up and began to head in that direction.

Since they had discovered that small mountain-like existence, they now needed to go over and see if there's any cave or similar place underneath it, which might temporarily provide them with a place to stay.

However, what Lin Yaru was thinking at this moment was completely different because Lin Yaru also expected there to be a cave at that place, which was where her father lived before.

If that's really the case, they could end their island landing plans early since they've already found clues, and there's no point in staying on the island any longer.

The group continued heading that way. Since it was visible through binoculars, the distance wasn't too far, and after walking for about ten minutes, they indeed found themselves at the base of a hillock.

But the small mountain indeed seemed quite low, yet it was still much taller than a person.

The group merely circled the entire mountain but ended up feeling somewhat disappointed. What they saw was merely rocks blocking everything, and there wasn't any cave in sight.

"Looks like we overthought it; this place won't offer us any sanctuary. But at least, if we need to hide from something, this place is a good cover, right?"

"It's meaningless; all sides are exposed, so it won't hide anything. This small mountain is likely accumulated here over years, hence it's not very high. It shouldn't really be called a small mountain, so we can only use it temporarily."

"Yaru, that's enough. We don't need to keep looking here."

As he walked over, he saw Yaru staring up at the small mountain. Initially, it seemed filled with hope, but now it appeared tinged with disappointment.

So Ye Chen gently patted Yaru on the shoulder. Yaru seemed to react suddenly, merely nodding slightly, then turned to walk to the other side.

"Yaru, I know what you're thinking, but this place is about 10 kilometers from there. They wouldn't hide anyone here. The ideal hiding spot should be right in the middle of the island."

"Yes, I know. I've just been hoping to reach a personal conclusion. Now it seems unnecessary. Shall we continue in this direction?"

"Yes, let's continue that way."

Saying this, the group stepped forward toward that direction.

Earlier, they'd noticed that the trees became quite sparse, making their view instantly wider.

And at that moment, suddenly, Ye Chen saw something over there, crawling continuously on the ground.

It seemed to be moving forward slowly, but they couldn't make out what it was.

"Wait, look what's that."

Suddenly, Ye Chen turned back and said to Anying.

Anying turned his head for a look, as he continued moving forward, watching the front. He hadn't noticed the presence of an unknown creature on his left.

Anying took out binoculars and examined closely, finally making a swift judgment, which took everyone by surprise.

"It's a lizard."

"Yes, it does look like a lizard, but this isn't normal. How could a lizard exist on this island? A lizard typically has specific requirements for its habitat, needing a tropical environment. This island clearly doesn't meet that."

"Maybe it's a special species of lizard, or this lizard has been living on this island and adapted, but it can still be aggressive. See, its whole body looks about the size of a crocodile."

"It must have been here for at least decades. No worries, regardless, I'm okay. You all wait here; I'll deal with the lizard first, and maybe tonight we'll have a good feast."

Saying this, he merely smiled at Anying, but Anying immediately felt a wave of nausea.

He had experienced wild creatures during survival on a deserted island before, but many years had passed without consuming any. Now, being asked to eat it, he found it quite hard to accept.
