Chapter 668
While Crystal and the others were still in a daze, a voice suddenly came from behind. “The map is wrong?” Alan shouted in both surprise and anger.
How could the map be wrong?
Raphael the bastard must have tricked all of them by giving them the wrong map deliberately.
“Why are you here, Alan? Shouldn’t you be leading us now?” Chandler’s voice calmed Alan down.
Alan, who was a little guilty currently, still refused to tell him the truth, “Scott is taking the lead now. I’m not that ambitious as he is. Plus, I didn’t agree to run with you and those animals. I was heading for the Second Island.”
Alan, who sneaked out to look for Patrick with Samba, didn’t expect to meet Crystal and Chandler here with the Matriarch or hear the news that the map was wrong.
“How are you going to find them with the wrong map?”
“Mr. Hopkins said they walked straight up the river and then reached here.”
“You can’t catch up with them on foot even if you walk all day and night.”
Alan remained unpersuaded. “Someone has to inform them that the map is wrong, or they will be in trouble sooner or later. I may be late but it’s still better than I don’t go there at all. Are you telling me to see them falling into a trap but do nothing? I’m sorry I can’t. I will go to find them no matter what!”
Alan and Chandler quarreled with each other. Both their faces turned red in anger.
Crystal stepped forward and tried to calm them down.
The Matriarch, who had been ignored by them, suddenly spoke to them in a hoarse voice. “You can take a shortcut.”
Crystal heard her the first and asked in surprise and joy, “A shortcut?”
Alan and Chandler also stopped the quarrel, staring at the Matriarch suspiciously.
The Matriarch couldn’t understand what they were arguing over. She helped them only because Samba had been nagging at her, asking her to find the female “little people”.
The Matriarch had seen Christina a few times but she still didn’t understand why her son kept calling this woman “Human Cub”. Maybe Sarnba, who had been exiled by his family since he was a child, was too lonely, so he treated this woman he came across as his family.
“The map was right, but then the mountain became plains and the sea became mountains.”
*The son of the owner of Island disregarded the Greatest Elder’s dissuasion and broke into the restricted zone. The God of Heaven is irritated and now he is going to punish us!”
“You can take this road. Climb over two mountains and cross a swamp. Your friends are waiting for you where you can hear the waterfall.”
The Matriarch showed them the correct way on the map. Alan and Chandler still looked skeptical while Crystal wanted to ask more about the way.
Just then, the earth shook again.
The Matriarch’s hut collapsed at once. Fortunately, they managed to escape since they had all been standing close to the door. Under the sky covered by dust, they were standing outside, trembling with the shaking ground.
Crystal widened her eyes in fear. Everyone was frozen in shock as they stared at the crack on the ground not far away, which continued to extend and get wider and wider.
Barbarians nearby were shouting and screaming in terror. Houses and trees were falling down, making extremely loud noises. It felt like the end of the world.
If there had been any modern skyscraper on Barbarian Islands, this earthquake would have caused much larger damage. Ten minutes later, the earth stopped shaking gradually.
Shocked by the force of nature, everyone was in silence after the earthquake. Even their breath was trembling in fear.
The barbarians who had insisted on staying in their homes decided to flee immediately.
They ran away in a panic with their families.
Carrying his mother on his shoulders, Samba had made up his mind to take her away from this place no matter how hard she would scold him.
He would have respected his mother’s choice and not interfered with her life in the past. However, thanks to those days when he stayed with Christina, he was no longer as obedient as before.
Samba was moving fast. Seeing the direction he was heading, Alan suddenly came up with an idea. “Wait, Samba! I’ll go with you!”
Samba was simple. He was definitely going to find his “Human Cub”.
His mother had shown him the way: Climb over two mountains, cross a swamp, and then he would find “Human Cub at a waterfall, it didn’t sound difficult. He must be able to find her.
Chandler stood still for half a second in shock before he started to chase after Samba and Alan and shout, “Alan,
are you really going to leave us?”
“See you!” Alan threw him a kiss in delight.
Chandler shouted at him angrily, “How am I supposed to explain to Scott and the others?”
*Just tell them I fell off a cliff and died!” Alan cursed himself calmly.
To convince Chandler, he also added, “Don’t worry! Scott is a strong and stubborn man but his brain is as simple as a baby. Tell them I’m dead. Maybe they’ll mourn for me!”
Alan was busy chasing after Samba who ran much faster than ordinary people. He turned around to wave at Chandler and the others and shouted aloud, “Take care!”
Chandler and Crystal were breathless from running. Seeing that they wouldn’t be able to catch up with Alan, they finally stopped, looking at each other and cursing in a low voice, “What kind of people Patrick has left us!”
According to the current situation, they shouldn’t stay here any longer.
“Let’s leave now.” Chandler grabbed Crystal’s hand as he stared at her firmly. Then the two of them headed towards the crowd.
Stay alive and they would definitely meet each other again.

“Is there something wrong with this map?”
Christina and the others finally made it through the dawn. After having some meat soup as breakfast, they started to worry about their route.
The biggest problem now was that none of them knew where they were.
Their original plan was to follow the map and head for the Second Largest Island, the home of the Strozzi family. However, they seemed to have lost their way not long after they set off.
Almost everyone turned to Patrick at the same time.
Compared to the mess in Chandler’s team due to the lack of a leader, Patrick and the others were united. The atmosphere in this tearn was totally different. Patrick’s wound left by the phosphorus powder of the Giant Mosquito didn’t hurt anymore. Although the scar was still clear, he could use this arm easily now. As for those who had their right legs injured by the Big Carp, they could now stand up and walk slowly with the help of a stick.
As long as they were strong and determined, they could overcome any difficulty.
