This area is a modern urban filming area. There are not many crews, and the staff on the sidewalk are all walking forward with their heads down.

Compared to the female lead in the crew, an inconspicuous assistant is much more low-key.

The young assistant was in his early twenties, with neatly cropped hair, dark circles under his eyes, and a dull gaze. His steps were neither slow nor hurried, yet his body felt heavy. At his feet, a transparent ball rolled, two-thirds filled with clear water. A black and white butterfly-tailed goldfish swam forward. The water ball rolled forward as the goldfish's long tail gently swayed.

Yue Xiaoyan followed Chunling towards the exit of the city area. With the "staff" leading the way, they encountered fewer obstacles.

Looking at the transparent ball that completely enveloped her, she couldn't help but sigh. She hadn't even remembered having such a prop, so how could Chunling still remember it...

In fact, this prop is used to store water resources. It has a capacity of about one ton and can be used for purification, but Yue Xiaoyan doesn't know about its function of replacing oxygen.

There is not much water in the water ball at present, and her range of movement is not large. It is not too difficult for her to control the direction of the water ball by swinging her tail forward and manipulating the water flow.

Occasionally, when she looked up at Chunling, she would remember that she was an animal and Chunling was a human.

Racial differences made communication difficult. She could understand Chunling's words, but Chunling couldn't grasp her...

In short, there is no tacit understanding between them.

After reading the group chat, Yue Xiaoyan felt even more uneasy. They had all entered an environment that seemed to be part of a side storyline, and now it was becoming increasingly difficult for them to reunite.

At this time, there was another message reminder in the group chat, it was from Lu Cai.

[Lu Cai: We will now split up and report any useful clues we find to the group. We need all the clues we can find, and we will strive to gather the complete main storyline as quickly as possible.]

[Qin Yu: Yes, I suggest you look for more information about Animal Farm, such as its history, founders, and current directors.]

[Zhao Yan: Will the big boss be the person in charge this time?]

[Qin Yu: I can only say that it's highly likely, but it's not certain, so we need more clues.]

[Yue Xiaoyan: Can't we just find the manor's administrative building and sneak in to solve the problem?]

[Shi Rukui: That's a good suggestion. We can collect the dried fish for you when the time comes.]

Yue Xiaoyan was speechless for a moment, but had no way to refute.

If there are no more clues, it would be too dangerous to go straight to the headquarters.

On the other side, Lu Cai looked at the little falcon on the tree branch, thinking that not only the duck's beak was hard, but the bird's beak was also hard.

He was clearly very unwilling when it was discussed with others to act separately, but in the end he had no choice but to agree to act separately temporarily.

He was worried that if everyone decided to act separately, some people would overestimate their abilities and act recklessly.

But now they have entered the jungle hunting ground plot and have not found a way to leave. People outside cannot just wait and waste time. Collecting clues from each other is much faster than gathering together and then unifying the activities.

I understand the reason, but I still worry about what I should worry about.

Lu Cai couldn't help but let out two "tsk tsk" sounds, without lowering his voice, as if he was doing it on purpose for Shi Rukui to see.

Shi Rukui lowered his eyes, then bent his head to adjust his feathers, pretending not to hear her slightly teasing voice.

He avoided the topic, and Lu Cai would not forcefully pry into other people's privacy. He thought for a moment and returned to the dilemma at hand.

Logically, the side storyline is supposed to capture a period of time in the past, using the past as the plot background and establishing the quest points. However, now, they should be in the script plot, which violates the background principle of the side storyline.

The plot of the play is not about what happens in Animal Farm.

She pondered for a long time before asking Shi Rukui, "The side story is taken from the past of the main story. Is this an official rule, or is it the players' own experience?"

When she asked this, Shi Rukui frowned. "I haven't received this rule from the system, but when I entered the KB game, all players accepted it by default. So, I don't know if the management has issued this rule before me."

"So, this might be a fake rule." Cai Lu frowned. This was not good news for them.

If any player had entered this instance, they would have had the same doubts, and would have undoubtedly challenged the existing "side quest rules" upon returning to the community. Yet, to this day, that unwavering rule remains unchallenged...

In other words, no player has ever left this instance.

If this is a copy with no survivors, it should be classified as "Hell" mode.

[Lu Cai: @Everyone, have you mentioned to others that we're teaming up to do a dungeon?]

[Yue Xiaoyan: I mentioned it to Shi Rukui, and then he joined the dungeon!]

[Shi Rukui: Is this the stage for the "pull down" part?]

[Zhao Yan: I haven’t mentioned it to anyone, what’s wrong?]

[Qin Yu: Do you suspect someone arranged for us to enter this instance?]

[Yue Xiaoyan: Arrange?]

[Lu Cai: There's something wrong with this instance. It's probably been tampered with. The person who can manipulate the instance is most likely the administrator.]

[Lu Cai: It's also possible that your system leaked the information; after all, it's manipulated by the administrators.]

[Qin Yu: So, someone wants us all to die in this instance?]

Cai Lu looked at the group chat interface and couldn't help but wonder, was the management going to such great lengths to punish them to death because they helped her?

Or did they discover something so important that the management had no choice but to take action against them?

Just as she was frowning and thinking carefully, two kittens' paws gently stepped on her back, as if trying to get her attention.

"What's wrong?" Lu Cai tilted his head slightly and felt that 666 had stopped moving.

Shi Rukui stood on a low branch, looked at 666, and said, "He seems to want to come down."

Lu Cai felt the kitten on her back tread twice more, as if in agreement with what she had said. She hesitated for a moment before slowly bending down and kneeling on the ground.

The light, furry ball on her back moved to the side and slid down her back.

Lu Cai turned around and saw the kitten fall on the soft grass. He lost his balance and rolled over before he managed to catch himself and stand up.

666 took two slow steps, as if trying to adjust. Soon, his steps became lighter, a bit like his true self, and he began to run forward with increasing agility.

His posture became agile, his red eyes matched the appearance of a kitten, and his usual indifferent expression turned into a kind of cuteness.

Lu Cai pursed his lips, worried that if he laughed out loud, 666 would misunderstand him as mocking him.

666 didn't seem to care about the embarrassment of falling. He ran two steps, turned around and motioned them to follow, his round little head tilted up. When he saw that they heard him, he looked away, lowered his head and dived into the bushes.

Following the path the kitten had led, Lu Cai saw a dense forest. Strangely enough, although the shade of the trees blocked out the sun, there was still plenty of light in the woods.

Yes, when the audience is watching movies or TV in front of the screen, there is no problem of not being able to see clearly. If the picture is not visible, it is said that there is a problem with the lighting or post-production.

The kitten's steps gradually became steady, and his steps on the fallen leaves were as light as feathers. He ran silently into the depths of the forest.

Lu Cai naturally chased after them without hesitation. Shi Rukui, who was on the treetop, blinked as he watched the two of them running away. He sighed softly, spread his wings, and followed them into the bushes.

The kittens were small, so it was easy for them to move in and out of the bushes. But it was not so easy for Lu Cai. He had to be very careful to minimize the noise and avoid attracting hunters.

They moved forward, passed through some overgrown bushes, and suddenly the view opened up.

Lu Cai raised his head and saw a building that looked like a gymnasium.

With high stairs, horizontally extending buildings, and neatly arranged flower beds and trees, this building should be the command center of the hunting forest.

Shi Rukui landed beside Lu Cai and asked, "Brother Xiao Liu, are you taking us to the lair of the branch boss?"

Lu Cai was also in shock. She had not expected that 666 could directly kill his way into the other party's lair.

The little kitten leading the way stopped and turned to look at them. Its ruby-red eyes opened wide and it looked up at Lu Cai.

Being looked at like this, Lu Cai felt a little embarrassed. Originally, this look was nothing special, but coupled with the cat-like dazed expression, it made people feel soft-hearted.

It’s too unfair to turn into a kitten!

"Do you want to get on my back?" Lu Cai lowered his head and asked him in a low voice.

Surprised, 666 shook his head and flexed his four soft kitten paws, looking eager to try.

"When I was removing the anesthesia from him earlier, I noticed signs of long-term anesthetic injections in his system, which is why his hands and feet are not very convenient." Shi Rukui said with emotion, "He should be recovering his strength now."

Lu Cai's heart skipped a beat: "Long-term injection? Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Shi Rukui was startled: "You don't know?" Seeing her expression, he was sure that she really didn't know, "I thought you knew..."

Seeing Lu Cai's ferocious expression, he quickly said, "I worked so hard to treat Brother Xiao Liu! Don't put on such an expression that you're going to blame me!"

With a cold snort, Lu Cai retracted his gaze and said, "After we go in, we can use the chat box to talk. 666 can't contact the system, so he will come with me."

"I can't fly up to investigate now. Do you have a white silk handkerchief?" Shi Rukui moved his claws and looked at the building.

"Do I look like someone with props?" Lu Cai also looked over. She didn't see any security personnel at the moment, but she had seen drones flying around in the woods chasing people before. She felt that the security facilities here should be good.

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw the kitten take a step forward and walk straight out -

Alas! Lu Cai's hair was about to explode, but the kitten strolled safely across the garden and to the bottom of the steps.

Lu Cai......

She didn't believe it... In the forest, they all saw how difficult this copy was, but when they arrived at the location of the side boss, it was so easy to enter the main battlefield?

"This yard is so simple, but the most dangerous part is probably the forest behind us. If it weren't for Brother Xiao Liu, we would still be wandering in the forest." Shi Rukui had the same idea as Lu Cai.

Lu Cai looked at the shadow cast by the building with a deep gaze.

The exterior of the building is too simple, maybe...

The calm before the storm.

"Let's go." Lu Cai had a calm expression and walked towards the building.
