The floor of this cave was surprisingly flat, and upon closer inspection, there were clear signs of human activity! This made all of us feel somewhat uneasy. Although it was temporarily advantageous for us, these obvious signs indicated the presence of indigenous people on the island. Considering the size of this cave, it couldn't have been made so smooth by just one or two individuals.

Li Lin was the most timid, tightly pulling on my clothes, her eyes reddened. "What should we do? Xiao Wei, will the natives attack us?"

"Don't worry too much. Even if there are natives, we haven't encountered them in this area, indicating that their activities may not be here. We're about to build a bamboo raft and leave soon. As long as we're cautious, it should be fine!" I hurriedly reassured them.

Upon hearing my words, Li Lin felt a bit relieved, but still appeared worried. Seeing her concern, she suddenly smiled at me. "Xiao Wei, it's great to have you! If it weren't for you, I'd probably be terrified right now!" Li Lin couldn't help but reach out and hug my waist, resting her head on my chest.

Feeling Li Lin's dependence, a sense of pride surged within me. I patted her beautiful hair and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, with me around, even if the natives come, I'll protect you all!"

"Just good at boasting! Deceiving little girls, you're just a scoundrel!" Xu Xiaorong stared at me disdainfully, suddenly saying harshly.

I didn't know where I had offended her, so I could only touch my nose and leave the cave to deal with the Japanese corpse. The cave where the Japanese man's body was located and the cave we planned to live in were connected. I didn't want the stench of the corpse wafting over in the future.

However, to my surprise, after I went there, I made some unexpected discoveries. Returning to that cave, the body of the small Japanese man was still decaying inside. Enduring the foul odor, I and Su Jie pulled the body out onto the ground. If it were someone else's corpse, I might have buried it, but since it was a small Japanese man, it wasn't worth the effort. I directly threw it into the nearby forest.

I believed that soon, scavengers would come and devour him. However, even though the body was gone, the cave still emitted a foul smell. I had to put a lot of aloe vera inside. Aloe vera had the function of purifying the air and absorbing toxic gases. Although I didn't know if it was effective against the stench of a corpse, there was no harm in trying. In reality, the tunnel leading from this cave to the other one was quite long, and not much odor wafted over. I just did it for peace of mind.

"Xiao Wei, what do you think this cave was dug for? It doesn't seem like a trap." When we returned, Su Jie asked me with confusion.

I could only shake my head; I didn't know the answer to this. This cave was indeed strange, and I couldn't figure out why someone would dig it. I thought this question might never be answered, but to my surprise, we found the answer very quickly.

When Su Jie and I returned to the cave, Li Lin greeted us anxiously, "Xiao Wei, something's not right. Come and take a look!" I didn't know what had happened, but my heart tightened.
