My beautiful CEO wife

Time passed into night.

After 10 p.m., the tourists along the coast gradually dispersed, and Xiao Zheng was getting ready to move.

Without a hint of hesitation, he flew straight up into the clouds.

With Xiao Zheng’s current flying speed, a mere distance of over a hundred nautical miles could be covered in the blink of an eye.

Following the direction told by Chen Shijie, within seconds, a large island appeared in his sight. The island was covered with a primitive forest, an undeveloped and isolated environment from the outside world.

Only the southern part of the island showed any traces of human life.

As Xiao Zheng hovered over the island and looked down, he could see the entire view of the island completely.

The southern part was especially his focus.

However, in the southern location, Xiao Zheng could only see some relief sculptures and abandoned houses, without any trace of humans. Chen Shijie had mentioned previously that there were about two to three thousand natives on the island.

Trying to find two to three thousand people on such a large island was hardly different from searching for a needle in a haystack.

But Xiao Zheng didn’t care much; after seeing no one on the southern part of the island, his gaze began to move towards the center of the island. For some reason, he always felt the atmosphere on this island was too eerie.

Given the large area of the island’s primitive forest, he couldn’t hear any sounds of insects or birds calling.

This scene was undoubtedly very abnormal.

Especially the closer he got to the central area, the more sinister and terrifying the atmosphere became.

"What is that..."

When Xiao Zheng’s sight arrived at the island’s center, his brows suddenly furrowed.

He then rapidly descended, landing within the forest.

The spot where Xiao Zheng stood was right in the center of the island, where the primitive forest was thickest. Yet in such a densely wooded area stood a massive stone-carved statue.

This statue was very strange, with a human head and an insect body, quietly standing amidst the forest.

When the mottled moonlight filtered through the leaves, the statue seemed to glow!

"This should be the totem revered by the local natives, right?"

"It’s actually a human head with an insect body, how bizarre?"

"But why haven’t I seen a single person yet? Could it be that I found the wrong place? Is the native-inhabited island not this one?"

Xiao Zheng’s eyes showed confusion, and he was quite puzzled.

Then he circled around the statue, suddenly seeing a bug at the statue’s base!

Ordinary people wouldn’t be able to see this insect, had it not been for Xiao Zheng’s X-ray vision, he too wouldn’t have discovered it! Because this bug was the type that previously wrapped around Su Zimo’s heart!

Cold glint flashed in Xiao Zheng’s eyes as he slapped his palm directly onto the statue!

Boom!

With an explosion sound, the statue shattered!

And at the exact moment the statue shattered, a terrifying scene unfolded!

Countless black insects swarmed out from the statue!

Watching this scene, Xiao Zheng suddenly felt his scalp tingle!

He never expected that this statue would hide so many black insects inside! And what’s more surprising, is that after leaving the statue, these insects seemed to be commanded, continuously launching attacks against him!

Wave after wave, surging like a black tide!

Although these insects couldn’t cause any harm to Xiao Zheng, he didn’t want them crawling onto himself. Thus, he didn’t hesitate, directly using Gang Qi to turn into flame.

A cluster of golden flames fell, and the black insect tide was instantly swallowed by the golden fire!

Along with the burning flames, there were constant chilling screams from the fire, accompanied by a stench. Even Xiao Zheng felt slightly dizzy upon smelling it.

Clearly, these black insects were highly poisonous!

Fortunately, Xiao Zheng’s golden flame was powerful, and the black insect tide was swiftly eliminated.

These individual insects were very small, invisible to the naked eye. If the number of this insect tide was counted, the count of black insects would surely be in billions!

Not only that, but after dealing with the insect tide, Xiao Zheng discovered a hole at the original site of the statue.

The bottom was pitch black, resembling a bottomless pit.

However, when Xiao Zheng activated his X-ray vision, he saw the figures of the natives down below!

All two to three thousand people were hiding in a massive underground cave!

"No wonder finding these people on the island was difficult; they were all hiding underground!"

"Heh heh!"

After letting out a couple of cold laughs, Xiao Zheng jumped into the cave without hesitation.

Splash~

As Xiao Zheng’s feet hit the ground, a huge echo resonated through the cave. Soon, amidst the pitch-black environment, a small fire appeared, then followed by continuous firelight, the natives actually lit torches.

Until this moment, Xiao Zheng finally clearly saw the scene inside the cave.

This cave was huge, obviously having been repaired and excavated by humans.

The place where Xiao Zheng stood was a square, with numerous small holes beside it, likely the places where the natives rested and slept. At the square’s center stood a three-person-high statue.

Compared to the statue he had broken earlier, aside from being larger in size, it shared the same human head and insect body design with no major differences.

As torch after torch lit up, the natives all began to appear.

They truly looked like primitives, everyone wearing animal skins. Some even couldn’t be bothered with animal skins, directly wearing clothes made from leaves and vines.

"Who here is the leader?"

Xiao Zheng boldly stood at the square and asked.

It’s unclear if the natives didn’t understand his words, they stood still, their gazes filled with killing intent as they looked at him. It was as though Xiao Zheng was a heinous villain, and the natives were hostile towards him.

"If no one speaks, I’ll take action."

Xiao Zheng spoke again.

However, once again, there was no reply.

Xiao Zheng was helpless seeing this, shook his head, and prepared to act. Anyway, he was now certain that these natives were the culprits harming Su Zimo; as long as he got rid of them, the Southern Ocean issue would be settled.

But right then, a sudden change occurred.

All two to three thousand natives suddenly knelt on the ground, then began chanting some incomprehensible incantations.

Xiao Zheng didn’t disturb them, watching with interest.

Then, he sensed the heaven and earth energy beginning to stir.

Soon, an astonishing scene happened right before Xiao Zheng!

Rumble!

The statue standing at the center of the square actually started to move!
