Since Wang Lan made her comments about Nan Chen, the two have not had any communication. During this time, Wang Lan would occasionally exchange a few words with Nan Chen, but Nan Chen always ignored her completely.

It seems I've really angered them.

Wang Lan thought to herself silently.

That little girl not only swears, but she also has quite a temper.

She glanced at Nan Chen again, smiled gently, and helped her walk forward.

Nan Chen seemed to have noticed that ever since Wang Lan stopped bothering her with words, she would occasionally glance at her. When Nan Chen frowned and looked over, Wang Lan would deliberately pretend to be "I wasn't looking at you" and turn her head away.

Nan Chen was really annoyed.

All remaining goodwill towards those with superpowers vanished completely.

“Actually, you’re quite pretty,” Wang Lan said after a long silence. “Small nose and small mouth, but your eyes are quite big. However, it’s not good for you to stare at people with those eyes all the time. Aren’t you tired of doing that?”

Nan Chen could no longer tolerate it.

She glared at Wang Lan with sidelong glances.

Wang Lan looked at Nan Chen with an innocent and naive expression and laughed, "You know what, your eyes are actually quite cute."

Upon hearing this, Nan Chen really wanted to pull out a dagger and stab Wang Lan to death.

Unexpectedly, Wang Lan suddenly made a shushing gesture. Nan Chen was stunned and subconsciously thought that Wang Lan was teasing her again. She was immediately furious and about to curse, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Wang Lan reached out and covered her mouth.

"Ughhhhh!!!"

Nan Cheng was even angrier, but her injuries were too severe to resist. She could barely lift her arm, so she could only grit her teeth and raise her hand, intending to push Wang Lan away. But as soon as her hand was halfway up, Wang Lan grabbed it and put it back in place.

"I told you to shut up!"

Wang Lan said, "Didn't you hear some strange noises coming from around us?"

Just as Wang Lan finished speaking, sure enough, a faint sound came from the bushes in front of them.

"Coo coo coo..."

"Did you hear that?!"

Wang Lan lowered his voice and said, "This is clearly not a normal sound. Who knows what kind of strange, mutated monster it is?"

He glanced ahead and saw that the weeds were overgrown and tall, more than a person's height, and so thick and lush that they completely blocked his view.

"You're injured right now. If a tough monster appears, I might not be able to take care of you. So listen to me, don't speak, and stay calm!"

Nan Chen: "???"

You're the one who's been talking the whole time!

Wang Lan glanced at the bushes in front of her again before slowly releasing her hand from Nan Chen's mouth.

Nan Chen's face was filled with anger.

Just then, the cooing sound coming from the bushes ahead suddenly grew much louder, but it seemed to be... getting closer.

Wang Lan frowned, looked at Nan Chen, sighed heavily, and said, "It's all your fault. It seems that the monster still found us!"

Nan Chen's eyes widened: "!!!"

I didn't say a single word, okay?

rustle...

Footsteps came from behind the bushes.

cluck...

The strange cry grew closer.

Hehe...

A sound like stones rubbing together followed immediately.

The next moment, the grass directly in front of them was suddenly bent by a gust of wind, and then a gray figure jumped out.

Wang Lan looked closely and saw that it was actually a stone man more than three meters tall!

The stone figure had distinct limbs, all made of stone, except for its head, which was a dazzling red crystal.

Wang Lan and Nan Chen were both stunned.

What kind of monster is this?

Both of them were seasoned warriors, but this stone man with the red crystal on his head was something they had never seen before, let alone heard of.

The red crystal seemed to be the head of the stone man. The crystal turned around, as if it had looked at the two of them carefully, and then suddenly jumped up and fell down towards them.

Wang Lan was startled and grabbed Nan Chen, dodging to the side. The stone man landed precisely where the two had been standing, with a loud "bang".

Two clear, deep stone footprints suddenly appeared on the ground.

This stone figure looks incredibly heavy.

"Have you seen this before?" Wang Lan asked.

“No,” Nan Chen shook his head, speaking frankly, “This is the first time I’ve seen a moving stone… Is it… is it a living thing?”

In Nan Chen's memory, she had only ever seen mutated animals, and this stone man was completely beyond her comprehension.

Could it be that the mutation caused the stones to evolve as well?

"Of course not!"

Wang Lan rolled her eyes at Nan Chen and said, "That's impossible. How could a stone be a living thing?"

As the two were talking, the stone man looked over, and Wang Lan noticed this and turned to look as well.

His attention immediately fell on the red crystal on the stone golem's head. For some reason, as soon as the stone golem appeared, Wang Lan felt a reaction in his C system. However, just as Wang Lan was about to activate the C system, he suddenly found that the C system had already fallen silent again.

The stone man had already started walking towards the two of them.

The stone man's enormous and imposing body made his walk very clumsy, like a strong man with a muscular appearance forcibly trying to create a burly figure.

Wang Lan looked at Nan Chen and suddenly asked, "Are you alright?"
