Chapter 347
The night descended quickly.
Scarlett Yates walked in the forest for a long time before she found a suitable place to rest.
Beside her, there was a large rock, its surface flat and smooth. She figured she could make do with it for the night.
After all, it was better than lying directly on the ground, where there were always a lot of bugs on the grass.
The silence around was terrifying.
This was Scarlett Yates’s first time spending a night alone in the wilderness.
As Alice Green had mentioned, she didn’t know if there were any other potentially dangerous creatures on the island besides them.
In such uncertainty, fear gradually grew.
In the end, she felt a bit scared in her heart.
The island was so quiet that even the slightest sound could startle her.
If someone wasn’t exceptionally strong-minded, it would be difficult to remain completely calm.
Scarlett gathered many dry branches and leaves, then built a fire.
With the firelight, it was finally not so dark around, and hearing the occasional crackling sounds from the fire, Scarlett couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.
Unlucky, truly unlucky.
Those people intended to deal with the Saxon Family, but they ended up bringing her to this godforsaken place.
Although she was unharmed, her mind was suffering greatly.
She took out her food.
A piece of bread and a box of milk were her dinner for the night.
She silently prayed that Matthew Saxon could find them soon. Every extra day on this hellish place was an additional day of torment.
But according to that man, the earliest would be tomorrow, right?
She recalled that the bidding event wouldn’t start until tomorrow morning.
So tonight, she was destined to spend the night on this isolated island.
She quickly finished the bread and milk, clapped her hands, and seeing the fire dying down, took a stick to poke the fire a few times.
Suddenly, a piercing scream shattered the night, breaking the silence.
The terrified scream came from the forest to her side.
Besides her on the island, there was only Alice Green.
What happened?
Why did Alice suddenly scream?
Scarlett’s expression changed slightly, throwing the stick in her hand to the ground, she ran toward the direction of the sound.
After running a few steps, she saw a white figure emerge from the dark forest, illuminated by the firelight.
Alice Green ran towards her, with her face full of terror, shouting, “It’s too scary, too scary. I want to leave here. I must leave this godforsaken place. This is no place for anyone to stay p>
“What happened?” Although they agreed to go their separate ways, Scarlett couldn’t care about the unpleasant events between them at a time like this.
Alice ran straight to her, and upon seeing Scarlett, she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Her body went limp, and she collapsed onto the grass, clutching her chest with one hand, panting heavily, “I always felt something in the forest was watching me, and there were many strange sounds. It’s terrifying p>
Scarlett was stunned for a moment, looking down at her terror-filled face in confusion, “Something… watching you, and strange sounds p>
Alice’s face was exceedingly pale.
Her face had been pale before too, but it was the kind of paleness due to weakness and lack of blood.
