"What on earth are you fantasizing about?"
Lin Fan looked at Ning ngyao, who had an embarrassed expression on her face.
However, the aning of his words seed to imply that he didn’t mind if sothing happened.
"Then... then why are you... using that for!"
ng Yao’s face was flushed.
It was clearly Lin Fan who made the first move.
"I’ve already told you, this is an outdoor Divine Artifact. Watch carefully."
Lin Fan washed the lubricant off of it using stream water until it was clean.
Then, he subrged it in the water and swung it back and forth a few tis.
The previously shriveled object rapidly inflated.
In the blink of an eye, it had beco huge.
"When we entered the jungle earlier, we left footprints. If the other party sends people to check, they’ll definitely discover that soone is still alive and might co after us. Given their familiarity with the island, they should know the locations of water sources, so they will surely set up ambushes near all water sources first. Therefore, we must keep away from water sources to ensure our safety. Using this, we can store enough water for two days. We’ll figure out the rest when the ti cos."
Lin Fan filled both Divine Artifacts with water to the brim.
He then took off his outer jacket, wrapped it around the containers, and tied them to his body.
Two containers of water would be enough for two people for a while.
"This is amazing; I didn’t know it could be used like this!"
This ti, ng Yao truly broadened her horizons.
Who would have thought that such a thing could have a different use outdoors?
"That’s why it’s considered the king of the wilderness."
Lin Fan smiled and took ng Yao’s hand, saying, "Alright, let’s find a place to stay first."
"But... but how do you know where will be far from a water source? Is it another animal trail?"
Watching as Lin Fan plunged in, ng Yao was filled with a hundred thousand whys.
After all, they were on an unfamiliar and isolated island.
Yet, he seed to know everything.
"That’s also a good reference point. After all, wild animals tend to keep away from humans. If we find the newest animal trails, we can generally keep away from them. Moreover, the orientation of these trees gives us a direction. They prefer to grow towards water, so the side with lush leaves and branches is likely to face the water. If we walk in the opposite direction, we should be fine."
At this mont, in ng Yao’s eyes, Lin Fan seed to shine.
His composure and reserve truly made her weak at the knees.
"Da da da..."
While they were talking,
sudden bursts of intense gunfire ca from a distance.
Lin Fan quickly located the direction of the sounds.
Then, he pulled ng Yao and took off in the opposite direction.
"Shouldn’t we... go take a look?"
ng Yao looked puzzledly toward the source of the gunfire.
Could it be that there were others on the island who were in the sa plight as them?
"Miss, the first rule of wilderness survival is not to be too curious. Curiosity killed the cat, and this isn’t a ga. Once sothing goes wrong, there’s no second chance. Thus, staying away from danger is the second golden rule. We need to find a place now and solve tonight’s lodging issue before it gets dark."
Lin Fan was pulling ng Yao along.
If he were alone, of course, he would go check it out imdiately.
But now that she was with him, he had to ensure her absolute safety.
So, unless it was absolutely necessary, he definitely didn’t want to have a direct confrontation with the other party.
"Mm!"
ng Yao could only nod repeatedly, her lips pursed.
The gunshots in the distance continued intermittently,
while the two had already vanished into the deep forest.
Only when the sun began to set did Lin Fan finally stop.
He took the water supplies off his back and placed them on the ground, then surveyed the surroundings.
"This is good. We’re far from any animal trail and not near any water source. Animal attacks are unlikely here. We’ll rest here tonight and aim to reach the mountains before sunset tomorrow. Once we get to the mountains, everything will beco easier."
"The sun is still so high. Won’t we waste ti if we don’t keep moving now?"
ng Yao looked up at the sun.
It was still bright; they could probably make more ground.
"The jungle at night is very dangerous, and I just saw footprints and feces of fierce beasts. It’s fatal to enter the jungle without any preparation, so this is the safest place for now. Tonight, we’ll stay there,"
Following the direction Lin Fan was pointing,
Ning ngyao saw what was actually a pit.
"Are we...living in a pit?"
"To be precise, we’re staying on top of the pit. I am going to get so stalks now to set up a makeshift tent and see if I can find sothing to eat. Don’t move around here while I’m gone."
After Lin Fan finished speaking, he turned and walked into the thick forest.
Leaving Ning ngyao alone standing in the woods.
At that mont, the roars of wild beasts in the distance, coupled with bursts of gunfire,
Made her body shake uncontrollably.
She always felt that there were countless pairs of eyes peering at her from around.
Now, she truly understood the horror of the primordial forest.
Thinking back on Lin Fan’s multiple attempts to dissuade her from coming,
She felt a bit ashad.
"Rustle rustle..."
Suddenly, a faint noise ca.
It made Ning ngyao’s already tense heart leap to her throat.
As the underbrush kept shaking,
She was so nervous that she almost collapsed to the ground.
Finally, when she saw that it was Lin Fan erging,
Ning ngyao suddenly collapsed to the ground, overwheld.
Tears uncontrollably stread down her face.
"What’s wrong?"
He dropped the few large branches he had been carrying on his shoulder to the ground.
Lin Fan rushed over to Ning ngyao,
Completely clueless as to why she had broken down like this.
"I’m sorry... I’m sorry... I was wrong to bla you before... I’m so useless..."
After crying for a good while, Ning ngyao
Finally lifted her head, choking back sobs.
Only she knew how scared she had been
During the ti Lin Fan was away.
The helplessness, panic, and wild imaginings
Almost drove her mad.
"It’s okay now. These are all unexpected situations. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be like this. Don’t worry, I won’t go far this ti."
Lin Fan gently stroked Ning ngyao’s hair.
She had always been pampered,
And the occasional outdoor activities in the city were nothing more than simple hiking.
She was ill-prepared for this kind of real wilderness survival.
"I’m sorry... If I hadn’t co... I wouldn’t have held you back."
Embracing Lin Fan, resting her head on his shoulder,
Ning ngyao finally felt a trace of security.
"What’s this talk of holding back? We’re in this together,"
Lin Fan said tenderly as he patted Ning ngyao’s back, "It’s getting late, and on this kind of island, it’s easy for rain to fall. I need to hurry and set up the tent, otherwise we might end up like drowned rats tonight."
"Can I...do anything to help?"
Ning ngyao wiped her tears.
She knew she had to do sothing.
"Then you can go gather so dry grass to make our bed, while I’ll set up the tent and prepare to make a fire. Whether we sleep comfortably tonight depends on your skill,"
Lin Fan said with a smile as he pinched Ning ngyao’s nose.
With just those words, her cheeks blushed imdiately.
"Sleep comfortably... I don’t know how to do that either!"
