Maybe all of this has become a reality, but if Lin Yaru really has to accept it now, she feels it would be the second emotional shock for her.

Perhaps Lin Yaru had already accepted all these facts, but inadvertently, she reignited a sense of hope in him.

And now, if she has to extinguish all this hope with a pail of water, can Lin Yaru really endure a second blow?

The more Ye Chen thought about it, the more he felt stifled inside. Moreover, if things continue to develop this way, he couldn't even begin to imagine what exactly is happening?

At this moment, he suddenly heard a strange sound ahead, so he stood up abruptly and glanced over from the campfire.

At this moment, Ye Chen heard it clearly, as if there was a constant flow of seawater, and it all seemed not very far from him.

Beyond these water sounds, Ye Chen could even hear bubbling noises.

What's going on? Ye Chen had never heard such a sound before.

Although they were on an island surrounded by seawater, hearing the sound of tides rising and falling was normal, but the sound he was hearing was indeed a bit abnormal.

Turning around, Ye Chen glanced at the forest behind him; it was silent inside the forest. Clearly, the sound came from directly in front of him, meaning the forest they walked through this afternoon.

They had thoroughly examined this forest before, and there was no water, except for a swamp that existed above the yellow soil.

But this swamp seemed to have little connection with the sound, and it's almost impossible for such a noise to come from any other place.

This made Ye Chen feel very puzzled indeed.

However, since it was already late at night, Ye Chen raised his wrist to check the time—it was now 1:00 AM.

The sound persisted for nearly an hour before completely disappearing.

Although he could hear this sound, apart from hearing it, he didn't notice any other anomalies,

And during the noise, Ye Chen found that the entire forest fell into silence.

Previously, he could occasionally hear the sound of insects, but during this process, he heard absolutely nothing.

Ye Chen returned to the campfire, sitting at the tent entrance, deeply puzzled about what had happened.

Looking back, he saw that the two women had completely fallen asleep by now.

He couldn't disturb them due to the sudden noise, as they probably wouldn't be able to sleep again afterward.

Given that the sound had already disappeared, there was no need to wake them.

Unless the sound occurs again later, in which case he will surely wake Anying and Lin Yaru, asking for their help to analyze what is going on.

At that time, when the sound emerged, Ye Chen really wanted impulsively to go over and see what was happening there.

But he worried that in his absence, if the tent were attacked by wild beasts, everything could be endangered.

Thus, Ye Chen sat there, thoughts racing through his mind, until unknowingly, dawn broke.

"Ye Chen, you really didn't sleep all night?"

At that moment, Ye Chen turned around and saw Anying and Lin Yaru coming out, patting his shoulder saying.

"Indeed, I didn't sleep a wink; I wasn't idle either, pondering here and there. Anyway, it felt like time passed quite fully. How did you sleep?"

"You know, last night was truly peaceful; maybe because we felt there was no danger, we slept very soundly. By the way, what time is it now?"

While speaking, Anying yawned and stretched lazily, then raised her wrist to check the time. It was already five or six in the morning.

"Alright, dawn has arrived. If everything is fine, I'll take out the supplies for a simple breakfast, then we'll head to the forest we passed yesterday."

Saying this, he went inside to retrieve the breakfast and some dry food.

Just getting up, no one felt much like eating, so Lin Yaru only nibbled on a piece symbolically and set it aside.

"I can't eat anymore; if needed, we'll eat on the way if we're really hungry."

"Oh, right, we still have that wild chicken, don't we? Let's deal with it tonight; I suppose we won't be leaving here tonight anyway."

"Alright, no problem. No matter the outcome we face, we ought to face it cheerfully. So tonight, I'll let you taste my cooking skills."

Ye Chen remarked, glancing at the wild chicken lying quietly by the tent.

"Honestly, I have no idea where those two creatures found this wild chicken, but I believe deep in that forest, there must be a lot of food for them."

"It's for this reason their bodies have mutated so profoundly, with heights reaching almost three meters."

"Hey, you know what? Last night, I had a dream that I was once again with those wild people, chatting and laughing with them. Don't you think this dream is odd?"

Anying started packing her tent, chatting with the other two as well.

The dream was indeed a bit strange.
