I've gradually come to realize that I've become more cold-blooded than before.
In the past, I might have felt some sympathy, or had some reservations when killing.
But now, some of the thoughts in my heart have been gradually abandoned.
I know very well that in a place like this, some rules simply don't apply.
Surviving is the most important thing!
Just like now, if I don't eliminate those guys, they will definitely find a way to eliminate me.
So before that, I must take their lives first!
The fierce attacks left those guys with no chance to resist, and they hurriedly ran back onto the ship.
Naturally, I didn't pursue them.
The initial deterrence effect had been achieved. I had already sent a savage to the tribe to find reinforcements. As long as they could stall for another day or two, my reinforcements would arrive.
Right now, I still don't have much confidence in my own strength. If those guys bring out some heavy weapons, I won't be able to resist them at all!
Moreover, their main target is me. To capture me, they would probably spare no expense.
After those guys got back on board, they immediately steered the ship away from the beach.
"Still quite cautious," I said with a faint smile, then took out my water bottle and took a sip of the Water of Life.
This stuff is genuinely good. I've been regretting it quite a bit lately.
If I had known, I should have brought more.
After all, to this day, I still don't know the method of production or origin of the Water of Life. Every sip diminishes the supply.
I waited there until midnight, and only after confirming that those guys wouldn't approach did I return to the camp.
As soon as I got back, Luo Yaqin rushed over, her somewhat gaunt face filled with worry.
"I thought... I thought..." Luo Yaqin said, tears about to fall.
I felt immense heartache and patted her head, "Don't worry, I'm not that easy to die!"
"But I'm still worried," Luo Yaqin sobbed.
I held Luo Yaqin, unsure of how to respond for a moment.
To be honest, this isn't the kind of life I want either. I desire a peaceful life.
However, I also understand very clearly that Weixi will not allow me to live such a life.
After cultivating the Mu Shen Jue, I gradually realized the power of the Tree of Life.
Previously, Richard had mentioned that the secret of eternal life was hidden on the deserted island. Vaguely, I felt that this secret must be related to the Tree of Life.
Therefore, I have sufficient reason to believe that Weixi will spare no effort to take the remaining half of the Tree of Life from me.
The group of people who came this time was just the beginning.
I arranged the savages into several groups, having them patrol in shifts. Once they detected any movement from those ships, they were to wake me up immediately.
I need to rest now. If I rely solely on these savages against those high-tech weapons, I believe those guys can completely crush these savages.
What I need to do now is to help them reduce their casualties as much as possible.
This has very significant meaning for me.
I slept with Luo Yaqin in my arms, and when I woke up, it was already noon the next day.
The ship was anchored far out at sea. I didn't know what they were trying to do, but from last night until now, they showed no intention of approaching.
But one thing is very clear to me: they must be brewing a major conspiracy!
The attack on them yesterday was very effective.
If nothing unexpected happens, combined with the poison, their numbers should be reduced by at least one-third.
However, the remaining guys will definitely increase their vigilance and bring out their trump cards.
As for what those trump cards might be, I have no idea.
By the afternoon of the second day, my reinforcements arrived.
The former chief of the second camp, leading over a hundred savages, came with the bows and arrows and spears I taught them to make.
Of course, they also brought plenty of arrows.
With this batch of resources, I have the confidence to fight those guys.
However, up to this point, I still don't know what kind of conspiracy they are preparing, so I dare not act rashly!
Thus, we were in a standoff until evening.
These savages' cooking skills weren't great, but fortunately, Luo Yaqin had been teaching them how to cook, and now their food was barely edible.
Just as we were preparing to have dinner, a savage on patrol outside rushed in frantically, babbling a stream of words.
Although I didn't understand everything he said, I grasped the general meaning: the ship had moved.
I immediately made a gathering gesture. The savages who were eating quickly put down their food, picked up their weapons, and hid behind the fortifications.
I also immediately arranged for Luo Yaqin to hide in the depths of the camp, while I alone approached the beach.
When I got closer, I saw quite a few mercenaries disembarking from the ship.
Seeing the things in their hands, I was completely shocked!
