I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier
Chapter 842: Grateful for Kindness
Ye Chen had just arrived here when he caught a whiff of a foul stench inside.
It was obvious; the two beasts had been living there year-round, eating, drinking, and relieving themselves, so the smell of the cave was something beyond what they could imagine.
So, as soon as they reached the entrance, they instinctively took two steps back because they really couldn't stand the smell.
Of course, as the monster continued to walk inside, they suddenly realized that no one seemed to be following them, so they turned around to take a look.
"We won't go any further. Now that we know you live here, we're relieved. By the way, I have some questions to ask you, can you come out for a moment?"
One of them nodded, then he simply exchanged a few words with the other beast. It was unclear what kind of communication they were using.
Finally, the other one leaned against the wall and slowly walked deeper into the cave.
"So, you usually live in this cave and come out during the day?"
He shook his head lightly.
"So, that means you come out at night, and during the day, you usually stay in the cave, is that right?"
He nodded along again.
It seemed he had formed such a habit. After all, these kinds of beasts are nocturnal creatures.
Even if they want to forage, it could only be at night; during the day, they probably wouldn't find anything at all.
"Are you sure you've never seen any other humans in this area?"
He nodded vigorously again.
"What about the front? Have you ever been to that jungle in front?"
He shook his head lightly.
"You have never crossed that swamp, have you?"
He nodded again.
"Okay, I see, we won't bother you any longer. We'll stay here for another day or two, and then we'll be leaving soon. Do you need us to contact the outside world for you?"
Upon hearing this, he suddenly showed a frightened look, and then shook his head vigorously.
"So, you are willing to continue surviving on this island, is that right?"
He nodded again.
"Alright, I respect your decision, we'll be on our way then, sorry for the disturbance, let him get some rest. In one to three days, he should recover soon."
After saying this, and Ye Chen waved at him, but suddenly felt that large hand grasping him.
At that moment, Ye Chen turned back, puzzled as to why, despite leaving, he seemed to be holding him back.
Then the monster hurriedly ran into the cave.
"What does this mean?"
"I'm not sure, but when he grabbed my shoulder, it seemed like he wanted us to wait a bit, to see what he meant."
Saying this, the two of them began patiently waiting there. After another one or two minutes, they heard a rumbling sound around them, indicating he was running inside.
Finally, they saw that giant creature reappear in front of them, but at this moment, he was holding something dark in his hands.
Ye Chen couldn't understand what this was, and before he could react, the creature had already placed the item in his hand.
"What is this?"
Ye Chen curiously took it and had a look, only to discover it was two wild chickens.
"You mean to give this to us, for us to eat, right?"
He nodded vigorously.
"Well, thank you, thank you very much. Alright, we won't disturb you anymore, we'll be on our way now."
Unexpectedly, this fellow turned out to be quite understanding and also grasped human emotions. At the very least, after helping them, he knew to give something back as thanks, a clear sign of human intelligence.
After the three left, Ye Chen quietly looked back and saw that the creature kept standing at the cave entrance until they completely disappeared before it finally returned to the cave.
"Do you find his expressions credible?"
"I feel they're quite credible, and he has survived on this island for nearly 40 years. Considering that time span, he must know this jungle better than anyone, more familiar with it indeed."
"So when we asked if he had seen any humans before, he said he hadn't, which proves no humans have ever visited this place."
"Yes, that should be the case. But now, we can only roughly confirm that no one has been in this area, including the region before, which they have never dealt with."
"After all, the place is a bit too close to the shore. For those who have lived here for years, they are afraid of interacting with humans and scared people might discover their presence. So they've lived in these deep mountains and forests for years, not easily venturing out from here."
"Does that mean my dad never came to this island?"
Suddenly, Lin Yaru spoke, but her eyes were indeed filled with disappointment.
"But I know how you're feeling, yet those two are 100% trustworthy, isn't it enough? Since they've lived in this jungle for so long, it proves indeed no one has been here."
"But, but all previous indications show they have been here indeed."
"Now, let's not talk about this, let's get back to the tent. After we get through tonight, we can discuss it again. Once we return, we'll think about the whole situation carefully."
Saying this, he then pulled Lin Yaru and followed behind Anying as they went back into the tent.
At this moment, the campfire was still lit, but at this moment, they indeed felt a lot more at ease.
The two largest creatures within this area had now been subdued by them, and they also confirmed they could communicate with humans. So, they believed they could pass the night safely.
