Chapter 600: A Statue
Lin Xi surmised that during those times, with a lack of navigational technology, it would have been very hard to sail for dozen days to get to the Triangle Sea Area. The Eternal Life Clan, without extensive manpower and resources, couldn’t have possibly gone so far overseas. Thus, Lin Xi guessed that the map of the Triangle Sea Area was obtained by the Eternal Life Clan from the floating island on Yuxueyun Mountain.
As for how Qian Qing knew that this was a map of the Triangle Sea Area, it couldn’t be known. Perhaps Qian Qing stumbled upon something, guided by someone?
All these were just conjectures. Gu Fan thought it over and gave up on the useless speculation, deciding it was best to leave this place as soon as possible.
Just as Gu Fan, Lin Xi, and Su Hui hadn’t gone far, they saw figures moving in the forest, causing them to immediately crouch down and observe with heightened vigilance.
It turned out that they were indeed primitive people, which frustrated Gu Fan, Lin Xi, and Su Hui. They hadn’t expected these guys to be so relentless. Were they determined to chase them till the end?
Gradually, they found out that it wasn’t exactly like that. These primitive people moved with difficulty, their expressions grave, devoid of any murderous intent; it seemed they were not here to kill.
Out of curiosity, Gu Fan and his party moved closer and discovered that these primitive people were moving in pairs, seemingly carrying something as they moved forward, which caused them to walk very slowly.
Closer still, they finally saw clearly - the primitive people were carrying their own companions, those who had died in the fire, which is why their faces were etched with sorrow.
Seeing this, although Gu Fan, Lin Xi, and Su Hui somewhat pitied them, they harbored no regrets. If they had to make the same choice again, they would still set the fire. Otherwise, they would be the ones in trouble.
