The creatures that emerged to attack the camp tonight were all 'ordinary' animals from the jungle; what Captain Jack said wasn't entirely false.
Those bizarre-looking creatures, including the Centipede Woman, were not involved in this attack—I did not see them.
We moved in the opposite direction to the animals heading toward the beach. On both sides of the road, there were makeshift streetlights installed by the 'welders.' The light wasn't bright, only illuminating the stone-paved path, but for us, it was good enough.
We retreated all the way to White Jade City and found that Qinghan was waiting for us under the Gate of Lost, with the Mummy Driver tucked under his arm; clearly, he had the same idea as I did.
"Professor Chen?!" Guan Hai exclaimed with delight upon seeing Qinghan.
"You guys didn't really think I was dead, did you?" Qinghan joked.
"Of course not, once we heard Fu crying, we knew for sure you were fine," Guan Hai replied with a smile.
