Chapter 591: Chapter 591: Not Very Friendly

The scream of terror, that sailor stumbled and fought his way up from the pit, his fearful expression making others afraid as well.

Gu Fan had a good look and saw many human bones inside, a chill ran down his spine. He turned his head and saw the crewman was still not able to calm down from the terror, Gu Fan frowned.

Lu Yi and Jie also observed the pit, felt the creeps: "Gu Fan, do you think..."

"I know, we are in trouble." Gu Fan knew typically wild animals would not go to such lengths dragging all the human skeletons together after attacking humans, which meant there’s something more formidable than wild animals on this island.

Lu Yi nodded: "I suggest we move quickly, meet up with Sister Su and the rest."

"Good, from now on, no one speaks loudly." Having said that, Gu Fan took the lead, his heart filled with anxiety. He dreaded that the scream just now would attract some unspeakable things on the island.

A few crew members started discussing, guessing what the pit was all about, where the skeletons came from, was there some kind of ritual involved.

Gu Fan turned around immediately, "As I said, no talking, no whispers, just keep an eye on our surroundings."

Some of the crew members were dissatisfied. They had been working for many years, why should they listen to an inexperienced youngster. Still, they knew Gu Fan was right, and hence did not argue.

Gu Fan knew he couldn’t control these people, he just hoped to leave quickly, team up with Su Hui and return to the ship. As long as he was by Lin Xi’s side, most troubles could be resolved.

"I hope we can leave peacefully." As Gu Fan hoped, but things often didn’t go as planned. A sharp arrow whizzed past in front of his eyes and stuck onto a tree.

It was a near miss, Gu Fan would have been shot had it been a little closer. While claiming otherwise would be a lie, he immediately realized the danger and yelled, "Run, run quickly!" After saying that, Gu Fan took the lead to run, not forgetting to glance back at his companions, and the water bucket in their hands.

Lu Yi and Jie, holding the water bucket, had difficulty in running and were left behind, their hearts pounding.

Noise filled the surroundings, footsteps, indistinct voices, Gu Fan could even see figures stirring in the woods, he thought: "My God, as I feared, there really are..."

Gu Fan remembered Xiao Hu saying before, pirates often ran into trouble, delayed or encountered some unexpected circumstances. Unable to return on time, they were forced to seek refuge on a nearby island, and would then disappear on the island.

Gu Fan had read a report that some islands were inhabited by a group of primitive people. They regarded outsiders as enemies and would hunt down anyone who set foot on their islands. Some even consumed human flesh, and hence were called cannibals.

The strange language and the agile movements in the woods were putting pressure on Gu Fan and his team, they were intimidated by the unknown.

Suddenly, several dark-skinned figures leaped out from the woods, launching an attack on Gu Fan and his team from the side. However, Gu Fan reacted quickly, kicking one of the assailants away and fending off another with a swing of his stick.

Upon seeing clearly, these primitive people’s eyes were more fearsome and horrifying than the pirates. They held crude cold weapons, ropes and their appearence were extremely horrifying, giving off a feeling as though they crawled out from hell.

Everyone fought desperately, but there were too many primitive people. They sprang up from all directions, shot a crew member into a hedgehog with their arrows and then carried him away.

"My God, I don’t want to be like that." Gu Fan punched one of the primitive men to the ground. But seeing three of them charging towards him, he realized he couldn’t beat them and began to run again, hoping to avoid being ambushed by constantly moving about.

Lu Yi and Jie were responsible for protecting the hard-won water resources. They wouldn’t back down, because without water, they would be waiting for a slow death.

Lu Yi’s shield was acquired from the Super Civilization, very sturdy. It cannot be penetrated by crude weapons made by the primitive men.

Jie was waving his baseball bat vigorously, smashing the primitive man’s weapon and knocking him away. Having trained quietly for some time, he could easily handle one primitive man, but facing three was a bit too much for him.

One of the crewmen was pinned down by five primitive men, he screamed desperately, but everyone was too caught up in their own situations, who could save him? As a result, he was carried away by the primitive men.

"Let him go!" Gu Fan rushed over, swinging his stick, fending off one after another with absolute skill. But in the end, when he saw seven primitive men forming a line, creating a wall, Gu Fan knew he wouldn’t be able to break through by force.

The primitive men separated Gu Fan and his companions, adopted a divide-and-conquer strategy. The second crew member was taken as well. Now only Gu Fan, Lu Yi, and Jie were left. Just the three of them couldn’t protect the hard-earned water resources.

If they couldn’t protect it, they would run. But how could they leave Lin Xi and the others who were waiting for water? If they didn’t drink water soon, they wouldn’t last long.

With that thought, Gu Fan had no other choice but to fight back. Water was life, he had no way out. But even if he was full of fighting spirit, he couldn’t confront a group of over ten primitive men.

Watching as the primitive men closed in step by step, their circle was getting smaller, Gu Fan looked terrified. He couldn’t escape, nor could he reclaim the water resources. Was there really no way to turn the tide?

Suddenly, a wail and gunshots were heard from the woods, bringing great joy to Gu Fan.

Sure enough, it was Su Hui, she fired one shot per person, the primitive men couldn’t resist, they even ran away with their heads in their hands when they heard the gunfire.

However, to conserve bullets, Su Hui gave the gun to Ouyang Jin for safekeeping and charged forward with her stick, knocking down a few primitive men who surrounded Gu Fan and breaking through their encirclement.

Seeing Su Hui, Gu Fan saw hope. They teamed up, cooperated well, protecting each other’s backs. Even when faced with a dozen primitive men, they easily held their own.

Ouyang Jin, Xu Haowen, and another two crew members also joined in to help, defending the water resources with Lu Yi and Jie. The water was everyone’s hope, it must be protected.

"Great, you’re finally here, long live friendship." Just as Lu Yi finished saying, Xu Haowen was caught in a rope thrown by the primitive men and was dragged away by them.
