"......"

Shen Zhiyi pulled Chen Peng up the tree.

Just as I climbed up, those boys arrived.

Shen Zhiyi just watched them pass by under the tree.

After missing each other several times, they finally bumped into each other.

"Sisters, please, for the sake of our connection, save us!" The boy who was leading the group was really about to cry.

They really couldn't run anymore.

Shen Zhiyi tossed two Ghost Face Flowers, which she had just taken from a treasure chest, to them, and then pulled Chen Peng away.

Chen Yu carefully caught it, and then he noticed that the vines that had almost wrapped around his feet had stopped.

"It works!" Chen Yu was pleasantly surprised. "Quickly take out that flower from your backpacks, this thing can mask the smell!"

The boys seemed to only then realize what was happening, and hurriedly rummaged through their backpacks to find the Ghost Flower.

Shen Zhiyi, of course, heard the voice coming from behind her.

It seems there's something wrong with his brain.

They clearly have the Ghost Face Flower, but they don't know how to use it.

If the vines of that ghost-faced tree don't chase you, who will they chase?

She rolled her eyes and continued walking forward.

"What a idiot," Chen Peng couldn't help but mutter.

“Indeed,” Shen Zhiyi agreed.

"Sister! Wait for us!"

It was Chen Yu and his group.

Shen Zhiyi was startled and walked even faster.

However, Chen Yu and his friends were athletes in school and ran very fast, so they caught up with them in no time.

"Sisters, please don't go! Take us with you, please!" Chen Yu had already run up to Shen Zhiyi.

He realized that the man next to him was only being able to get what he wanted from the woman by asking her for help.

"Get lost, I'm not taking you." Shen Zhiyi said very rudely.

But Chen Yu and his team also understood that they had caused trouble for others, and it was only right that the other party disliked them.

They kept running in their direction; they were already being kind by giving them the Ghost Face Flower just now.

It's really not easy to find someone to take them under their wing right now.

Chen Yu scratched his head, looking embarrassed, and said, "Sister, we know we were wrong. We shouldn't have done that, but we had no other choice."

Another boy nearby stepped forward and said, "Sister, we really know we were wrong. Please take us with you. We won't cause you any more trouble."

Fearing that Shen Zhiyi would disagree, Chen Yu quickly said, "Sister, we are willing to give you half of what we obtained in the Ghost Face Tree Forest. You just need to take us out."

"Yes, yes, half, half for you."

"Sisters, please take us with you!"

Shen Zhiyi remained silent, seemingly deep in thought.

Seeing that Shen Zhiyi remained silent, Chen Yu and the others felt tense, fearing that she might disagree.

They've been in this forest of ghost-faced trees for days, and if they don't get out soon, they'll go crazy.

Moreover, they didn't have much food to begin with. These young men naturally have big appetites, and after just a few days, there was hardly any food left.

Three-quarters.

Chen Yu was taken aback. He had almost thought that the older sister was not going to pay attention to them and was already thinking of other ways.

Unexpectedly, Shen Zhiyi made a request.

Chen Yu and the others exchanged glances.

Gritting his teeth, Chen Yu nodded firmly, "Okay!"

"make a deal."

Chen Peng raised an eyebrow, surprised that they could agree to such an outrageous demand.

"Take good care of the ghost-faced flower, and remember to replace it with a new one before it withers."

Shen Zhiyi explained.

Several people nodded quickly.

"Sister, we have a lot of these flowers, let's share some with you." Chen Yu and the others took out a box of Ghost Face Flowers from their backpacks.

"?"

Shen Zhiyi was stunned. So many?

"Where did you get so many ghost-faced flowers?" Shen Zhiyi asked.

Liu Minyi, a boy wearing glasses next to Chen Yu, came over and cheerfully replied, "Sister, we passed by a flower patch earlier, and this is the kind of flower that grows. We thought it looked pretty good, so we picked a lot of it."

Shen Zhiyi really didn't know whether to say they were lucky or unlucky.

"Do you remember where it is?" Chen Peng took the ghost-faced flower from Liu Minyi's hand, intending to collect some interest first.

Chen Yu nodded quickly, "I remember! We'll take you there, sister!"

Chen Yu and his group led the way, with Shen Zhiyi and Chen Peng following behind them.

Chen Yu would occasionally strike up a conversation with Shen Zhiyi, "Sister, how long have you been here?"

Shen Zhiyi ignored him, but he wasn't angry and continued talking to himself.

"This forest of ghost-faced trees is too eerie. We haven't seen any animals since we came in. We've been wandering around inside for two or three days and still can't find a way out."

"Yeah, and those vines are really weird. Actually, there were five of us when we came in, but now there are only four left."

“That companion of mine was dragged away by the vines without him noticing. When we found him, he was already entangled in the vines.”

“We wanted to go and save him, but there were too many vines, and we couldn’t get through at all. As soon as we cut them, new ones would grow. It was like we couldn’t kill him.”

"Then, the vine that was wrapped around him suddenly deflated, and the other vines on the ground went back to their original positions."

"So that person just disappeared?" Shen Zhiyi asked.

Chen Yu pursed his lips and nodded.

"Yes, but to be precise, it was swallowed up by the vines."

"After he died, the things that were in his backpack fell to the ground."

“We’ve put it away for him, and we plan to erect a monument for him after he leaves.”

The atmosphere suddenly became silent.

This was the first time these boys had faced death.

People were being devoured right before their eyes, and they were powerless to stop it.

All they could do was erect a monument for him, just like they would have done on Earth.

"This is not your fault, you don't need to blame yourselves."

Shen Zhiyi didn't want to speak, but she couldn't bear to see this scene.

"Now that you've come to this game, you must adapt to its rules. Your lives are in your own hands."

"Such things will happen countless times around you in the future. You are so devastated by just one death. How are you going to go on?"

“We must look forward. He may be gone, but as long as you remember him, he will always be there. If you forget him, then he is truly dead.”

Chen Yu looked at Shen Zhiyi with teary eyes, sobbing, "This older sister is so kind, she's even trying to comfort us!"

The other three people also looked at Shen Zhiyi with teary eyes.

"Don't make any noise."

Chen Peng's lips twitched. Typical college student, with a naive kind of stupidity. (No offense to college students! Just a joke! Please!)

Shen Zhiyi left, leaving behind the boys who were so moved they were almost in tears.

Chen Peng looked at him with disbelief.

But I couldn't just abandon them, so I said a few words to them.

By the time Chen Peng caught up, the group had already stopped crying and obediently led the way.
