Ye Feng looked up and saw two crooked, elongated islands.
It had to be said, these two islands truly resembled two long snakes, and naming them Twin Snake Islands wasn't without reason.
Upon arriving, Ye Feng didn't immediately take the two women ashore.
This was because he had already learned about the situation on these islands beforehand; they were infested with venomous snakes. It would be a minor issue if the two women were scared, but a major problem if they were bitten.
Therefore, he stopped in front of Twin Snake Islands and continued to observe them.
The two women also began to observe the islands with some trepidation.
However, Ye Feng couldn't discern anything unusual at first glance.
But when he activated the Sea God's underwater detection ability, he was immediately startled, as there were many snakes in the water.
They were all in the sea, though, and couldn't be seen from the surface.
"There really are a lot of snakes!" Ye Feng muttered to himself.
Upon hearing that there were indeed snakes, the two women quickly showed panicked expressions and asked, "What? Snakes? Where, where?"
Hearing this, Ye Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry, they're in the sea!"
Upon hearing this, the two women finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, on the other side of the island, Tang Zhiyang and his group heard the roar of the speedboat's engine and knew that Ye Feng and his party had arrived.
He quickly said, "Ye Feng is here! Quickly, quickly get to the island and set up an ambush!"
The others, however, showed fear and said, "But, but there are snakes up there!"
"What are you afraid of? They're just a few snakes! You just don't provoke them! Besides, don't you have your weapons? Hurry up and get down!" Tang Zhiyang urged.
Hearing this, those people could only steel themselves, disembark, and prepare to ambush on the island.
Meanwhile, several figures on the island were coldly watching this scene. One of them spoke, "Big Brother, they've disembarked. Should we make a move?"
The figure referred to as Big Brother shook his head and said, "Wait a moment longer. There are still humans over there. We shouldn't act for now, otherwise, if they escape and expose us, it won't be good!"
"Oh, oh, understood, Big Brother!"
On the other side, after observing the situation on the speedboat, Ye Feng and his party looked puzzled and said, "There doesn't seem to be anything strange here!"
Before Ye Feng came, he had heard Xiao Feifei and the others say how sinister and strange the island was, and how fishermen often disappeared.
He had originally thought that, like Rocky Island, there was some evil spirit suppressed beneath it.
But upon seeing it now, he found that wasn't the case.
If there were any evil spirits, his Golden Trident should have given him a warning.
Therefore, Ye Feng immediately dismissed this conjecture.
He continued to watch for a while longer and confirmed that apart from the abundance of snakes, there seemed to be nothing else out of the ordinary.
Seeing this, Ye Feng said, "It doesn't seem like much. Let's go ashore and take a look!"
"Ah! We're going ashore to look! That, that doesn't seem right!" Xiao Feifei said fearfully.
There was no helping it; girls like them were naturally afraid of those wriggling things like snakes.
Zhou Lingyu, however, appeared much calmer, though her calmness was only on the surface; fear still flickered in her eyes.
She asked, "Are you sure we have to go up?"
"Sure! Why else would we come here? For a sightseeing tour?" Ye Feng chuckled.
Seeing this, the two women had nothing more to say and could only nod in agreement.
Thus, Ye Feng steered the speedboat towards the island.
Soon, they stopped at the shore.
"Ah! Snake, snake!"
However, as soon as they disembarked, Xiao Feifei saw a black and white patterned snake coiled beside them.
This terrified her, and she couldn't help but scream loudly. Zhou Lingyu was also startled by her reaction, and the two of them instinctively rushed into Ye Feng's arms.
This left Ye Feng bewildered, unsure who to embrace.
The next second, he stepped forward and kicked the snake away.
"It's okay, it's okay. That snake was just passing by and it's gone now!" Ye Feng said.
Hearing this, the two women turned to look at where the snake had been and, confirming that it was no longer there, finally relaxed.
"Alright, let's go! We'll continue looking around!" Ye Feng said.
Thus, Ye Feng led the two women on a leisurely stroll around the island.
Every short distance they walked, they would see a few snakes, which startled the two women.
However, what Ye Feng found strange was that these snakes seemed to be watching them with a human-like gaze.
It gave Ye Feng the feeling that the snakes were monitoring them.
But the next second, Ye Feng shook his head and said, "Alas, how could that be! I must be nervous and overthinking!"
However, at that moment, a sudden shout rang out: "Stop, hands up!"
"Ah! Who, who is speaking!"
The sudden sound in the silent island, other than the voices of Ye Feng and the two women, made Xiao Feifei and Zhou Lingyu scream and quickly hide behind Ye Feng.
The next second, they saw four or five men emerge from behind some rocks and grass. Those men were all pointing guns at them.
Seeing this, Ye Feng was stunned and quickly said, "Brothers, don't make any moves. Let's talk things out!"
As Ye Feng raised his hands and spoke, he sized up the men.
After a brief assessment, Ye Feng realized they were just ordinary people.
If Ye Feng were alone, he wouldn't be afraid at all, as these people were no match for him.
Even if they had guns, if he couldn't fight them, he could always dive into the water and escape.
However, with Xiao Feifei and Zhou Lingyu, two women who couldn't even lift a chicken, Ye Feng dared not make any rash moves.
"Why, why are there people on this island?" Xiao Feifei said, trembling behind Ye Feng.
Zhou Lingyu also said fearfully, "I don't know. Have we run into pirates?"
Hearing this, Ye Feng shook his head and said, "Probably not!"
This was within China's inland sea, and under normal circumstances, there wouldn't be pirates.
Furthermore, Ye Feng's observation of their attire didn't suggest they were pirates; they looked more like thugs.
Just as he was speculating about the origin of these men, a familiar figure suddenly walked out and said, "Ye Feng, long time no see!"
Seeing the figure, the three of them said in unison, "Tang Zhiyang? Is that you?"
"Haha! That's right, it's this young master! Didn't expect that!" Tang Zhiyang said smugly.
The next second, he walked forward, looked at Zhou Lingyu and Xiao Feifei with a lewd expression, and said, "Oh my, Ye Feng, you're quite the player! Bringing two girls to such a desolate place!"
Hearing this, Ye Feng didn't respond to his words but frowned and asked, "Tang Zhiyang, what exactly do you want?"
"What do I want? I originally planned to shoot you dead when you arrived to avenge past grievances, but..."
"But what?" Ye Feng asked again.
Tang Zhiyang revealed an evil smile and said, "Killing you directly would be too merciful! I want to..."
