I've already reached the Nascent Soul stage, and you're saying I didn't time travel?

"Huchi! Huchi!"

Joang stopped, panting heavily, and braced himself against a large tree next to him with his left hand.

Turning my head to look back, apart from a few teammates who were terrified and confused, I finally didn't see those nightmarish, slender figures anymore.

"Escaped."

"Finally escaped!"

João couldn't help but slump down, his mind completely blank.

Suddenly, he heard a series of intermittent sobs and saw Lucas kneeling on the ground, pounding his fists on the ground, tears streaming down his face.

João naturally understood why he was crying. Lucas's younger brother was also in the exploration team. When they were fleeing earlier, he saw Lucas being bitten in two by a white blind snake, and he obviously couldn't survive.

Similar tragedies occurred to more than one member of the team: Mikhail, Benguemin, Matthias... These outstanding comrades also rest forever in this land.

Unexpectedly, less than three hours after arriving on the island, the entire exploration team suffered such heavy losses. What should the remaining members do?
Should we gather the other lost souls and continue exploring deeper into the territory?

The thought of the terrifying onslaught of the white-haired blind snake filled Ruo Angtou with a deep sense of dread about this jungle.

"Why don't we leave first?"

Everyone around agreed with this idea.

The problem is, they've gotten lost and have no idea where they are.

"Retreat southeast first, and you'll eventually find a way out."

Everyone reached a consensus and decided to regroup and retreat.

After walking for only a short while, a commotion suddenly broke out ahead.

Everyone instinctively raised their guns, and soon a panicked and terrified group of people came running out of the bushes ahead.

Upon seeing their uniforms and faces, they immediately recognized them as members of the joint African exploration team, laid down their weapons, and inquired:
"What's wrong? Is there anything I can help you with?"

A burly Black man running ahead waved his hands frantically and shouted in terror:
"Run! Run! They're catching up!"

"What? They're catching up soon?!"

Everyone was confused, but they still followed him.

Then a shrill scream came from behind, and a burly man suddenly collapsed to the ground as if he had been shot.

From beginning to end, they didn't even see where the enemy came from or how they attacked.

"It's an insect!"

"Flying bugs!!"

Then, they finally heard the faint buzzing sound.

Then, some thumb-sized green insects flew quickly toward them, their needle-like mouthparts clearly carrying deadly poison.

"It's a spiked iron beetle!"

João shouted urgently.

He was deeply impressed by the insect.

In his memory, when Qi Xuan encountered this insect, he could easily twist off its organs and eat it on the spot to supplement his protein intake.

But why is it that even the ingredients can chase after and kill them when they come here?

João didn't understand, but he didn't have time to figure it out.

He ran forward as fast as he could, firing his gun at the swarm of insects.

Having finally reached a riverbank, the group, who were almost too exhausted to run any further, suddenly had a bright idea in their eyes. Without saying a word, they jumped into the river and swam towards the other side.

Seeing this, João hurriedly reminded him:
"Watch out underwater! There might be monsters underwater!"

But no one had time to think about that anymore; they were already giving it their all just to avoid the iron-spiked bugs.

Sure enough, once they were in the water, the insects could only buzz around on the shore, and there was nothing that could be done about them.

Before everyone could even breathe a sigh of relief, a short, agonizing scream suddenly came from the middle of the river.

As a soldier was dragged down by something, the river surface turned a glaring crimson.

"Alligator catfish!"

"It's an alligator catfish!" Accompanied by desperate screams, a large number of alligator catfish, attracted by the smell of blood, rushed towards this place.

After a brief burst of gunfire and screams, the scene returned to its usual calm.

……

Because fog has a strong shielding and interference effect, the tragedy that occurred on the island should not have been known to the public.

But just as the South American joint exploration team discovered the bellflower, the long-absent random live broadcast was suddenly activated again, and huge light screens quickly spread across the global sky.

The audience was immediately filled with question marks upon seeing this:

"What's going on? Why the change of personnel? Where's Qi Shen?"

"The number of people is wrong, how did it become a group of people?"

"It seems to be a joint South American exploration team. The land and island were opened this morning, and many countries have sent people in."

"They're armed with guns and all sorts of equipment; they should be able to break through the island quickly, right?"

"I remember hunting a giant octopus! That would be so exciting!"

……

"Haha, I've seen this plot before. Why are they all starting to eat grass like Qi Shen? Is grass really that delicious?"

"Hopefully I can share the taste later, oh crap, how did it die?!"

"How can the white-web blind snake grow so big? How can it be so aggressive?!"

"We've run into a swarm of snakes! Damn it, we don't even have enough grenades!"

……

"Being chased by the White Silk Blind Serpent is too outrageous. Luckily, we ran into other teams."

"But this joint African exploration team seems to be in trouble too."

"Holy crap! Are iron-spining bugs really that powerful? A swarm of bugs can catch and kill a bunch of people??"

"What the hell is wrong with these guys? Are they really special forces? How come they can't even beat the food?"

……

The audience was shocked as the entire exploration team perished in the water.

"We know the floating continent is dangerous, and the land islands that are separated from it must be dangerous too, but this is too outrageous. How could a fully armed and well-equipped army be wiped out?"

"The things they're dealing with are all ingredients for Qi Shen. What if they run into something truly formidable?"

"I know you are not on par with Qi Shen, but the gap is still so big even without weapons. The way you are doing this makes me lose faith in humanity."

"Considering the various mistakes these people made in dealing with the crisis, and how they ended up being wiped out despite having a huge advantage, it must be a problem with their brains."

"A bunch of monkeys that haven't fully evolved are just too stupid. We should look to our developed Western countries for real expertise!"

"That's right. Our Nordic joint exploration team is using the latest equipment this time. Everyone is armed to the teeth, and we also have members from the renowned frogman unit. We are absolutely capable of bringing glory to humanity!"

"We, Bharata, are no less formidable. This time, we have dispatched the brave and fearless Cobra Commando to the island. They will surely demonstrate the strength of our Asian power to the world!"

"Third Brother is mighty! Third Brother is the best in the world!"

"Who opened the cesspool? A bunch of maggots, stay away!"

"Just wait and see what we do, you bunch of idiots!"

……

As the light screen closed, the online argument came to an abrupt end.

Around the island, witnessing the annihilation of two joint exploration teams firsthand, the expressions of officials from various countries were far from pleasant.

Prior to this, they had anticipated the dangers of the island and were prepared for the exploration team to suffer huge losses.

But how long have we been on the island? Not even half a day has passed, and two teams have already been wiped out.

How long can the remaining exploration teams hold out?
Conversely, if Qi Xuan has been able to hold out until now, just how terrifying must his strength be?
Just as everyone was filled with awe, the countless light screens that had just disappeared quickly reappeared in the sky.

This time, however, it was the familiar protagonist who appeared on the screen.
