Time flies.

In the mutated jungle, the fog seemed even thicker.

Jiang Wu continued to traverse the mutated jungle, his sharp eyes scanning everything along the way.

His cheeks were covered in water droplets.

That's all the moisture from this mutated jungle.

The black, level-three python-skin robe was also stained with mud and the bodily fluids of unknown insects.

He has been searching inside for two days and two nights.

Above the thick fog, the giant hornet of level two flapped its wings and flew, following Jiang Wu's steps.

Thousands of small, mutated hornets followed nearby.

The insect woman, dressed in a black dress, stood quietly atop the giant hornet's head.

Her long, black hair, as smooth as black silk, was damp from the jungle air and clung to her pale, almost white cheeks.

Her gaze was complex; her slightly green pupils pierced through the thick fog, fixed intently on the determined figure below.

It's been two whole days and two nights.

Initially, they followed him, perhaps out of curiosity about Jiang Wu, or perhaps out of gratitude for the two bottles of panacea.

But as time went by, a kind of emotion she had never felt before quietly began to grow in the depths of her frozen heart.

In this apocalyptic catastrophe, order has completely collapsed, and the law of the jungle prevails.

promise?

Those are often tools used by the strong to manipulate the weak, or the delirious ramblings of the weak in despair, which can be discarded in an instant.

She has witnessed far too much betrayal and selfishness.

I've also seen too many people resort to any means to survive.

But I have never seen anyone like Jiang Wu.

For a promise that seems so distant, they are fulfilling it with such dedication and effort, regardless of the cost.

Moreover, he is the leader of such a powerful force and possesses immense strength.

This is even more incredible.

His actions were like a ray of light, piercing through the darkness she had long been accustomed to.

Her cold gaze, which she had grown accustomed to, became somewhat complicated.

It's noon again.

Jiang Wu stopped beside a relatively open pile of rocks.

There are relatively few mutated plants here.

He skillfully cleared a flat area and lit a campfire.

There was only half a piece of level-four beast meat left in my pocket, not enough to eat.

Jiang Wu then caught two more palm-sized mutated mole crickets from the ground nearby.

This place is teeming with mutated insects, and there is no shortage of food.

Jiang Wu skillfully removed the heads and tails of the mutated mole crickets and strung them onto sharpened tree branches.

They started making barbecue.

The flames crackled, and the oil from the level-four mutated beast meat dripped onto the mutated mole cricket, its unique aroma spreading through the thick fog.

Just then, a slender figure slowly emerged from the thick fog.

She is an insect woman.

She walked to the other side of the fire and said in a still icy voice, "At this rate, it will take at least two weeks to search the whole place."

As Jiang Wu turned the skewers, he glanced at her.

There was no surprise on his face, because he already knew she had been following him.

But there was a hint of amazement in his eyes.

Compared to the white robe she wore when she first met the insect woman, this black dress was clearly more form-fitting and gave her a more feminine look.

In addition, she has exquisite facial features that are almost identical to those of Blood Rose.

It really is quite pretty.

Exactly, her personality is too cold.

Jiang Wu had absolutely no interest.

He calmly withdrew his gaze, continued grilling the food, and said casually, "Are you making sarcastic remarks? But you underestimate me a bit. What's two weeks?"

Compared to the past when I cared for my paralyzed little fish day after day, year after year.

This little thing is nothing to him.

The insect woman did not refute, but walked straight to the opposite side of the fire and stood there. Her calm gaze fell on the dancing flames, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

Jiang Wu looked up at her and, seeing that she didn't seem to be leaving, casually said, "Since you're here, let's eat something together. Thank you for sending those insects to deliver the food these past two days; it tastes pretty good."

The insect woman remained silent.

The next second, a flat, iron-backed mutated beetle crawled out of the thick fog and obediently lay down at her feet.

This mutated beetle has a back as flat as a natural stone chair.

The insect woman sat down gracefully and elegantly.

She stretched out her slender fingers, picked up a skewer of golden-brown roasted mole cricket meat, and took a bite without hesitation.

The crispy exterior and tender interior of the meat melt in your mouth, with a subtle caramelized aroma.

Seeing that she was finally willing to eat with him, Jiang Wu smiled faintly.

He joked, "Looks like you've accepted me as a friend."

He still harbored the plan to recruit the insect girls, which could be seen as a way of indirectly closing the distance between them.

The insect woman continued chewing without stopping. After swallowing the food in her mouth, she remained expressionless and said indifferently, "Thank you for the two bottles of medicine. They have recovered very well."

Jiang Wu calmly said, "It's only because of you. If I encountered these level two or three mutated insects in the wild, I would have killed them and taken their energy essence long ago."

The insect woman didn't reply; she just silently ate her food.

Another batch of mutated ants brought various wild fruits, insect eggs, honey, and other delicacies.

The insect woman would occasionally pick up a wild fruit and take a small bite.

She seemed to prefer fruits to meat.

Jiang Wu looked at her still cold and aloof demeanor and felt a sense of helplessness.

I originally thought that if she was willing to come out for a meal, her attitude would soften, but I didn't expect her to still be like this.
