He kneeled properly.

His eyes were unusually devout as he looked at the surface of the island lake.

It was as if he was looking at the god he believed in.

“Wait, this earthquake is not a natural earthquake. Before the earthquake, the animals in the forest and the animals in the water would have sensed it beforehand and would have taken action!”

“We didn’t sense any movement from the animals in the forest just now!”

Chang Yuan maintained his rationality. In an emergency, he had analyzed that the earthquake was not a natural phenomenon.

Because earthquakes were caused by the movement of the Earth’s crust, vibrations would be produced, and the propagation of waves would be faster than the propagation of energy.

And the human ear could receive sound waves at a higher frequency than some animals, so it was very difficult for it to receive low-frequency vibration waves. Therefore, the human could only know that it was an earthquake when the earthquake really came.

However, most animals were different. They would know that an earthquake was coming before the earthquake.

Animals who sensed danger would usually take precautions first.

The most common phenomenon was that people often said that the animals were restless.

Ah Feng also felt that what Chang Yuan said made sense. “Since it wasn’t a natural earthquake, there must be something huge nearby that hit the island. Otherwise, I can’t think of anything that could cause the island to shake violently!”

He didn’t know if Ah Feng’s words were a jinx.

The most unreliable thing was actually hit by him.

At the center of the Island Lake, the originally clear water surface suddenly became extremely muddy. Waves of black spewed out from the depths of the island lake, dyeing the entire lake black.

Moreover, there was originally a large number of sea fish living in the island lake.

However, when the black color appeared, all of the sea fish panicked and ran around aimlessly. Unfortunately, after being enveloped by the black color, they died very quickly.

At this moment, they were floating on the surface of the lake. The densely packed sea fish made people’s scalps go numb.

The voices of the savages in front of them became louder, and their eyes became rather excited.

On the contrary, the man who was tied up seemed to know what had happened. His eyes were filled with endless fear as he looked at the changes in the Island Lake. It was as if he saw his own death.

The man knew that he was almost dead. He placed his last bit of hope on the voice he heard just now. Although his body was tied up, his head was still able to move.

He turned his head and looked in the direction of Chang Yuan and Ah Feng.

Ah Feng and Chang Yuan instantly looked at each other.

“Brother Chang Yuan, should we save him?”Ah Feng had a kind heart, but at this time, he could not act rashly. The two of them had to agree.

Otherwise, there would be big trouble.

Chang Yuan shook his head firmly. Not to mention that he did not know the other party’s identity, the other party was simply a savage. He was just from another tribe.

There was no point in saving him.

Moreover, he had to take a huge risk. If he could not make ends meet, the gains would not make up for the losses.

Saving him was not worth it.

“But… what if this person knows the direction to go back?”

Ah Feng opened his mouth again and suggested.

Chang Yuan frowned and fell into deep thought when he heard this.

Indeed, the reason why he followed this group of savages was because he wanted to steal the ship.

However, after stealing the boat, it would be impossible to tell the direction in the vast sea. If he took the wrong direction in the sea and walked to the North Pole of the South Pole, wouldn’t it be cold?

Ah Feng’s words had some logic.

Chang Yuan thought for a moment before patting Ah Feng’s shoulder. “I was thoughtless just now!”

He made a decision and found a suitable opportunity to save the kidnapped man.

However, at the moment Chang Yuan made his decision, a shocking scene happened. It was simply unbelievable. It was unbelievable. In the island lake in front of him, it was as if a bomb had suddenly exploded.

A water splash that was 100 meters high jumped out.

The water splash was black. It was unknown what had infected it.

“Huff! Huff! Huff! Huff! Huff! Huff! Huff! Huff! Huff! Huff! Huff! Huff! Huff! Huff!”

When these barbarians saw the monstrous water, the language they spoke became even more intense, and their voices became even louder.

From the looks of it, the thing they had summoned should be about to come out.

A muffled cry, like the fear of the deep sea, came from below the island lake and spread across the entire island.

Chang Yuan and Ah Feng cautiously stared at the scene above the island lake.

In the next moment, when the water fell, the summoned thing finally revealed itself.

Immediately, Chang Yuan and Ah Feng were stunned.

“This…”

What entered their eyes was a hundred-meter-tall creature with black tentacles. It had a round head and round head. Its two eyes were at the bottom of its head, and its mouth had a lot of messy catkins.

It looked terrifying.

Especially its body size.

It was very similar to the giant squid in the Titanic.

After Chang Yuan was shocked, he carefully observed it. wasn’t it just a squid.

However, its size was a little shocking. It was more than ten times bigger than some whale.

Moreover, this thing seemed to have some intelligence. Its eyes were actually quite charming. After coming out of the Island Lake, it coldly stared at the Barbarians by the lake.

“Huff! Huff! Huff! Huff! Huff! Huff! Huff!”

The leader of the Barbarians had a crazy look in his eyes. Not only was he not afraid, he even took the initiative to approach the shore of the Island Lake. He knelt down devoutly on the ground and actually used his hand to pick up a smear of black lake water.

He drank it in one gulp.

It was as if he was showing his loyalty to this giant squid.

The other barbarians were also doing the same thing.

Chang Yuan knew that the reason why the Island Lake became pitch black was entirely because of the black liquid released by the squid.

“Strange, the squid can actually grow so big. It even seems to have some intelligence. Could it really have something to do with the sacrifice summoning of the Barbarians?”

Ah Feng frowned as if he understood something. He thought of the strange scenes he had seen in his hometown in Xiangxi and felt that they were somewhat similar to the ones here.

There was a year when the village held a village sacrificial ceremony in his hometown. Everyone gathered together and muttered some strange words.

Not long after, a wild boar that was as tall as an elephant ran out from the mountain.

At that time, it frightened people. This wild boar was much fiercer and taller than the ordinary wild boar king.

However, it was not subdued by the people and returned to the mountain.

From then on, the wild boar was carved on the totem, saying that it was the guardian God protecting the town.

Looking at the pious actions of these wild people, it seemed that they had also taken this giant squid as a kind of faith, a kind of sustenance for protection.
