The jellyfish monster's corrosion is a self-controlled offensive weapon. Trees that are embraced by them rot and break wherever they touch, while the flowers and plants on the ground that are brushed against by them remain intact.

Without the trees to provide cover, many of the maintainers scattered and fled, none of them willing to confront the jellyfish monster head-on.

Just kidding. If we stop and counterattack, we'll be entangled by the persistent jellyfish monsters. At that point, we'll have to be wary of both the jellyfish monsters and the malicious schemes of other maintainers. So we might as well shift the blame and let the jellyfish monsters target someone else, and get through these short but long hours.

Soon, Cheng Shuang became the target of everyone's criticism. Because her location was just out of the jellyfish monster's line of sight, it became the only quiet place, but it was also subtly known to the other maintainers. Therefore, those in urgent situations directly targeted Cheng Shuang.

The little girl was prepared. When she saw the group leading the jellyfish monsters around the big tree and sneaking towards her location in a roundabout way, she immediately calmed down, took out a disposable mask and put it on properly, even stuffing earplugs into the bear cub's nostrils.

Just as they all gathered around, ready to pull out their cards and unleash their skills, Cheng Shuang threw out the 'range hood that Mrs. Fang had discarded' first.

Instantly, smoke filled the area within a three-mile radius, and a wonderfully fragrant yet pungent aroma, which made people's eyes water, forcefully swept into the nasal passages of everyone and even the monster.

The coughing was incessant, and of course, there was also the sound of slurping saliva.

"Spicy, fragrant, and satisfying!" one of the defenders couldn't help but shout.

"Who is this! Instead of fleeing for their lives in the middle of the night, they're releasing poison. They'll starve to death!" someone else yelled in dissatisfaction.

This shows how alluring the food is; even the jellyfish monster couldn't escape its charm. Not only did it lose its way in the smoke, but its transparent body opened and closed as if it were breathing, and soon dripping water like beads of sweat rolled to the ground, instantly scorching the grass beneath its feet.

Cheng Shuang lay on the back of the bear cub, letting the clumsy yet agile bear cub leap from the tree into the grass and run out of the center of the smoke-filled area like a gust of wind.

Although the little girl covered her mouth and nose, Chili's domineering nature was not so simple. Her big eyes were red and wet, and her pitiful appearance on the verge of tears made the two boys, who had already escaped the jellyfish monster's range, pull down the invisibility pant legs around their necks in surprise and ask, "What's wrong, Shuangshuang? Did something happen to Du Jun?"

Two figures suddenly appeared and surrounded Cheng Shuang from the left and right, startling the little girl. The giant bear instinctively tried to swing its claws to protect its master, but fortunately it did not realize the danger. Its large paw stopped halfway through the swing.

When a bear's paw the size of a palm leaf comes flying, no one can remain calm. Hei Zishan almost fell to the ground with a thud, patting his chest in shock, "My god, that scared me to death!"

Lie Fu's face turned pale, but fortunately, he was more composed and did not show any embarrassment. He only asked Cheng Shuang if Du Jun had gotten into trouble.

Du Jun was certainly unharmed; he was very well hidden. If Cheng Shuang were to rashly find him, it would be tantamount to exposing his hiding place.

The little girl rubbed her big eyes, which were stinging and watering, silently shook her head, and took out a tissue to wipe the wet corners of the bear's eyes.

Amidst the smoke carrying the aroma of chili peppers, someone else emerged. Upon seeing this, Lie Fu gave Cheng Shuang a wink, then hooked his arm around Hei Zi Shan's neck and disappeared again.

The bear cub skillfully climbed up a thick tree and curled up on a branch. Cheng Shuang hugged its neck tightly and looked down, wanting to know who had escaped so quickly.

Several figures moved about; it was Adolf and his bodyguard team.

Adolf, carried on the back of a burly man, covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, his eyes bloodshot as he muttered curses, "How rude! How rude! These inferior people releasing such vile poison gas is utterly rude!"

His bodyguards also suffered losses; his team of more than ten people is now reduced to only six.

Cheng Shuang felt a little regretful, wondering whether Adolf had encountered a shipwreck or a jellyfish monster. If she could have followed him all the way, she might have been able to uncover his secrets.

What's remarkable is that the six bodyguards were very professional. No matter how much Adolf complained, they remained expressionless and led him to a safer area as much as possible.

As they ran towards the sea, an arm suddenly stretched out from the sky, made a gesture, and then there were traces of trampling on the short grass on the ground, indicating that they were heading towards the sea.

Cheng Shuang immediately followed.

These bodyguards were battered and exhausted, their vigilance long gone. The giant bear, with its light movements and fast running speed, always managed to stop before the bodyguards could spot it.

When they reached the beach, they immediately dispersed: some cut down trees, some built rafts, and some picked coconuts.

Adolf sat on the charred rock, wiping the water stains off his tunic with a handkerchief. His clothes were made of a thick material, and after a couple of wipes, he had to wring out the soaking wet handkerchief. He repeated this action patiently, his face grim.

Iwashita was the burly man who had carried him earlier. He stood straight, his face was dark, and there were bruises under his eyes, but his expression was alert and wary. From his sleeves, one could see that they had been corroded and damaged.

"They want to go to sea!" Lie Fu's voice rang out. This time, Cheng Shuang was mentally prepared. Sitting on Xiong Bao's back, she focused on the group. "Their goal is very clear. Don't you think going to sea is the right thing to do?"

“Most likely.” A person approached silently. Cheng Shuang turned around abruptly and saw Du Jun. His steps were light and his landing was seamless, indicating that he had used a relevant card.
