"What do you mean, boss?"

In the blue leaf forest, Yang Yu tightly grasped the claw hook in his hand and asked Zhang Chu beside him with a serious expression.

"Have you forgotten what I taught you..."

Zhang Chu stared at the dense forest ahead and said in a deep voice.

"Um……"

Yang Yu groaned, remembering what Zhang Chu had said before. In the apocalypse, reconnaissance missions are primarily about reconnaissance. Don't try to be too aggressive when encountering something. If the situation isn't right, just... run away...

"What are you doing?"

A faint female voice sounded behind Zhang Chu and the other two, her tone full of incomprehension...

Xiaobai, who had been standing behind, looked at the three people in front of him with an expression as if he was facing a great enemy and was desperate.

She couldn't help it any longer. What are you guys doing here? ...

The purple-eyed girl held her forehead and sighed silently. She just didn't speak, she wasn't dead, did you really think she didn't exist...

Walking around the three awkward people, Xiaobai walked forward slowly, quietly looking at the depths of the forest in front of him.

As a noise came from the blue leaf forest ahead, it seemed that a figure was passing through the dense blue leaves above the white trees and was getting closer to them.

As the noise in the forest suddenly stopped, Xiaobai felt a pair of inquiring gazes coming towards her from behind Lan Ye.

Xiaobai followed the trail and then narrowed his purple eyes slightly. It was the same strange double pupils he had seen in the forest last time.

The other party seemed a little apprehensive and did not immediately reveal himself. His pupils moved slightly, and his figure once again hid behind the blue leaves.

Crash! ———

Suddenly, the woods around them began to rustle with the sound of leaves frantically. And it was faintly moving closer and closer to them! It seemed as if something had emerged from the surrounding blue-leaved forest, surrounding them!

Zhang Chu and Yang Yu looked up nervously, watching the blue leaves swaying above them and falling from the woods.

"What's going on, Ming?"

Zhang Chu's face was solemn as he asked Xiao Ming beside him, "Didn't they say there was only one aura? Why do they seem to be surrounded by something?"

"It's that same aura, it's moving quickly around us!"

Xiao Ming frowned, sensing the rapid movement of that aura. Strangely, every time it was about to approach them, it would quickly move away, then approach again before moving away again.

The expression on Xiaobai's face remained unchanged, though his purple eyes held a hint of doubt. His gaze followed the figure as it circled through the surrounding woods, the girl's body also turning slightly in response.

When Zhang Chu and his companions saw the appearance of the White Spider Girl, it seemed that the other party's whereabouts had been locked down by the White Spider Lady.

So the few of them stopped looking around and turned to the direction the white spider girl was looking and became alert.

They watched the figure moving quickly through the leaves. Every time it approached them and was about to reveal itself, it would suddenly stop, stare at them strangely, and then continue moving.

"What is it doing?"

Zhang Chu asked with some confusion, but no one answered his question. The other party's behavior of surrounding but not attacking made everyone feel a little confused.

In response to this, Xiaobai just looked at the figure thoughtfully and had a guess in his mind.

"Scare people..."

The white spider girl opened her red lips and slowly uttered three words. Animals have their own sense of territory, and they are usually afraid of strangers intruding into their territory.

They would first try to intimidate the enemy and force them to leave their territory. The strange figure's behavior at the moment was very likely in this regard.

The White Spider Girl's guess made Zhang Chu and the others look thoughtful.

"Should we leave now?"

Zhang Chu carefully asked the White Spider Girl, if the other party really just wanted to scare them away, then they should leave immediately and there would be no conflict with the other party.

"What are you afraid of?"

In response to Zhang Chu's suggestion, Xiaobai simply said that they should just continue with their own business.

Xiaobai could sense the aura of this strange creature, which had appeared twice, and felt a sense of familiarity. Just as Xiao Ming had said before, it looked very similar to her...

The White Spider Girl was a little curious about this and wanted to see what the other party was like.

Seeing the white spider girl's appearance, it seemed that she was planning to confront the strange creature. Zhang Chu no longer hesitated and turned around with Yang Yu, intending to deal with Shangguan Yun'er's matter first.

Crash! ———

At this time, the black shadow in the blue leaf forest seemed to have its intentions seen through and decided not to hide anymore.

As the leaves swayed, the black shadow rushed straight towards them, then landed on a white branch in front, looking at the people below with cold eyes.

At this point, several people looked up and finally saw each other's full appearance. Then they all frowned, with strange expressions on their faces...

It was a humanoid creature with fluffy black hair that fell softly over its shoulders. On its exposed ears were feathers similar to Su Xiaoyu's, but black.

It wore a loose black short-sleeved shirt and dark blue denim shorts. With its cute face, it looked just like a lovely human girl.

But when you add in those weird features on the other person, it becomes completely different.

Looking up from below, the opponent's feet actually had black bird claws growing on them, which were grasping the branches beneath them to stabilize their body.

The opponent's arms were human-shaped, but underneath them grew a pair of large wings covered in black feathers.

What really made people concerned was that on that lovely face, there was a pair of strange double pupils. They were looking at the people below, trembling continuously.

The two pupils were not connected to each other, sometimes merging, and sometimes separating. Zhang Chu and the others watching below felt a little creepy...

"Birdman?"

Beibei poked her head out from behind Xiaobai, looked at the figure on the tree curiously, and summed up everyone's impression of the creature in two words.

The expressions of the few people were somewhat complicated. They silently glanced at Beibei who had spoken. The image of the birdman had already taken root in their hearts...

"You...are...the birdman..."

Under the surprised gazes of several people, the "black-feathered birdman" on the tree slowly spoke, his words were intermittent and seemed very unskilled.

The black-feathered birdman in the tree seemed dissatisfied with Beibei's words. The girl frowned slightly, and stared at Beibei with a cold look in her double pupils.

"Oh, sorry..."

Beibei was a little scared when she was stared at by the other party, so she quickly shrank behind Xiaobai and poked her head out to peek at the birdman.

The other person's eyes look so strange, but the feathers on his body are so beautiful.

Although the feathers on the birdman appear black, they emit colorful colors when reflected by light.

Regarding this strange phenomenon, Zhang Chu, one of the group, lowered his head and thought quickly.

Distinct bird-like features…strange double pupils…irregularly colored black feathers…

The image of a creature flashed quickly in Zhang Chu's mind, and then he reacted, whispering...

"It's a crow..."
