“Scare me! I’m telling you to f*cking scare me!”

“I’m telling you to scare me!”

As he spoke, he raised his stick and smashed it into the grass. After smashing for a while, he realized that there was no movement in the grass. He bent down and wanted to look into the grass.

“F*ck! Run!”

The person threw the stick and ran. At the same time, a few black shadows jumped out of the grass and quickly chased after him.

“What are you waiting for? Run!”

Following this person’s shout, everyone reacted and began to escape in the opposite direction. However, after a few steps, a few more black shadows jumped out.

The black shadow gradually approached and surrounded Li Chen and the others. Li Chen and the others could only retreat.

“It’s over, it’s over. Mommy, we’re surrounded.”

“Are they human or ghost? They’re so scary.”

“Don’t say anything. Let’s wait and see.”

“Li Chen, at a time like this, what’s the point of saying that?”

As these black shadows continued to approach, everyone was forced to curl up under a tree. Then, Li Chen finally saw their appearances clearly.

They were wearing straw clothes. Their faces and bodies were oily black, and some of their faces had scars. It seemed that they had experienced many battles before. Li Chen thought to himself that it was over. They were very likely savages.

The savages were all holding weapons made of bones. These melee weapons might be useless in front of bows and arrows, but Li Chen and the others did not have their bows and arrows right now.

“Everyone, be careful. Don’t attack. Let’s wait and see.” Li Chen comforted everyone.

“Are they human or ghost? Why are they so scary?” Someone cried.

“They should be savages. There are good and bad savages, so don’t panic.” Li Chen explained to everyone. Then, everyone knew that they had encountered savages.

Seeing that Li Chen and the others didn’t attack, the savages also put down their weapons and didn’t rashly attack.

“Ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji ji…” At this moment, a savage walked forward and said something incomprehensible.

Li Chen was helpless when he heard that. He could not understand what they were saying, so he could only ask everyone to put down the weapons in their hands.

“Everyone, throw away the weapons in your hands and see what these savages want to do.”

“Li Chen, are you crazy? If we throw away our weapons, what if they hit us?”

“Yeah, these are all we have.”

“What are you guys thinking? If they wanted to attack us, they would have done it long ago. We can’t do this now. They probably want something.”

At this moment, everyone came to a realization. That was indeed the case. If the savages wanted to kill them, they would have killed them the moment they met. They would not have waited for so long.

Then, under Li Chen’s lead, everyone threw away the weapons in their hands. Li Chen also threw away the rod in his hand. Li Chen originally planned to fight them to the death as soon as they came up, but when he thought about how he did not understand the other party’s strength, he did not take action.

When the savages saw Li Chen and the others throw away the weapons in their hands, they also threw them away.

“Hey, what are they doing? They also threw away their weapons too?”

Then, the savage who came forward picked up all the weapons he had thrown away and placed them in front of Li Chen. When Li Chen saw the savage do this, he quickly took a step back.

When the savages saw Li Chen retreat, they knew that they had the upper hand, so they started to jump up proudly. They were still muttering something, as if they were cheering.

“What are they thinking?”

“I don’t understand. Let’s wait and see!”

When everyone saw that the savages did not continue to hurt them, they began to discuss. At this moment, the savages began to move.

They collected all the fruits that Li Chen and the others had picked and began to move them.

“So they’re here to get fruits too.”

“This bunch of b*stards want to steal our gains for nothing. I’ll beat you to death!”

“Wait! Let them do it!” Li Chen stopped the violent-tempered person who wanted to fight.

“Let’s wait and see.” Under such circumstances, Li Chen seemed unusually calm. He was thinking of the most perfect solution.

Li Chen mainly did not understand the other party’s intentions. Moreover, at this moment, he thought that these fruit trees were very likely planted by the savages themselves.

If they came to pick fruits like this, could it be that they had invaded their orchard? After all, savages were often very territorial. Also, could the skull be the result of someone resisting?

Just like that, under the gazes of Li Chen and the others, the savages gathered all the fruits that Li Chen and the others had picked. Then, they brought the fruits and shouted as they walked.

The fruits were snatched away by them just like that.

“Li Chen, I feel too aggrieved. You didn’t let me beat them to death!”

“That’s right, we should have attacked!”

No one understood Li Chen’s thoughts. They began to complain that Li Chen was too cowardly, causing their fruits to be snatched away for nothing.

“How do you know they’re so easy to bully?”

“What if they have help?”

“Will we be able to defeat them if we fight?”

Zhao Yu’s words rendered everyone speechless. No one said anything else.

“Don’t worry, everyone. We will have fruits, but we don’t know the situation when facing the savages. If we attack rashly, we might suffer even greater losses.”

After hearing Li Chen’s explanation, everyone rationally felt that Li Chen’s actions were the most reasonable because it could guarantee that they would not be harmed.

After returning to their camp, Li Chen got someone to go out and check the fish basket and traps.

“Not bad this time, Li Chen. Look!”

The person who went out to check on the trap happily ran back with a huge wild goat on his back.

“There’s something to eat now!”

When the others saw that the trap had caught a wild goat, they quickly took out tools to deal with it. Moreover, they also caught a lot of fish in the fish basket.

“Now we have something to eat. Let’s eat roasted mutton tonight,” everyone said happily.

Li Chen knew that their food problem had only been temporarily alleviated. If they wanted to continue surviving, they needed to store more food. Otherwise, it would be over once they encountered danger.

“Everyone, let’s think about building a place to store food.” Li Chen voiced his opinion.

Everyone felt that this idea was feasible and set the location in the courtyard. They planned to start looking for items the next day to build a place to store food.

“Also, there’s one more thing. After dinner, the few of you will come with me.”

Li Chen stopped the men who seemed strong and asked them to follow him to do something big after dinner. Those people wanted to know what it was in advance, but Li Chen told them that it was a secret.

“Li Chen, don’t keep us in suspense!”

“You’ll know after dinner! Eat well first!”
