In the distance, a vine of the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine quietly emerged from the ground. After swaying for a moment as if gathering intelligence, it noticed Mo Shuwan and the others in the distance. The vine quickly retreated back into the ground and quietly approached.

"Boss, everyone, hang in there, hang in there. We'll be safe in half a day at most."

Yang Zhou's encouragement had no effect; the passengers didn't even bother to lift their eyelids. What kept them walking was their obsession with rest.

Yang Zhou looked anxiously at Mo Shuwan, "Captain, let's rest a little longer."

Mo Shuwan glanced back at the passengers, then looked down at the time, her face full of helplessness. "Let's rest. We have to leave in half an hour."

Yang Zhou nodded vigorously and quickly relayed Mo Shuwan's message. The passengers cheered and collapsed to the ground, instantly falling asleep.

Wen Zuo pulled Mo Shuwan down to sit, handed her the fruit he had collected yesterday, and patted her hand reassuringly.

"Have you noticed these past few days that Fang Min and his team are all in excellent physical condition? Some of them have only experienced two mission worlds. It's impossible for everyone to have tens of thousands of points and be able to exchange them for manuals. Even if they are really strong and lucky enough to have points to exchange for manuals, the things needed to improve physical condition in the manuals are not cheap at all."

When this topic was brought up, Wen Zuo's expression became much more serious, as he had considered these issues as well.

—I have an idea.

"What?"

—They were already in very good physical condition before they even got on the bus.

"Yes, I've thought about that too."

—We all bought our tickets at the bus station before boarding the bus. So far, I haven't seen any passengers from other places, which means that the bus we are on selects passengers from the bus station, and no one else has any doubts about the existence of the bus.

Other buses will definitely select passengers at a fixed location. What if this bus happens to be outside a military camp or a gathering place for a criminal gang?

Mo Shuwan was slightly taken aback. She hadn't really thought of that. After Wen Zuo reminded her, she thought about it carefully and found it to be very reasonable.

After pondering for a moment, Mo Shuwan sighed and rubbed her forehead. "Judging from these two guesses, Fang Min and the others are definitely not soldiers."

Wen Zuo nodded silently.

"If it were you, and you were to fight the other person one-on-one without weapons, do you think you could win?"

Wen Zuo really thought about it seriously, and finally shook his head with a wry smile.

—I have no absolute certainty about any one of them.

"Even you're not confident..."

Some distance from Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo, a vine tip quietly peeked out from the ground, like a person walking on tiptoe, sneakily approaching the passengers who were only a few steps away.

The passenger was asleep and unaware of the vines wrapped around his wrist. The vines seemed to hesitate for a moment before pulling the passenger's wrist into the ground. Probably feeling an itch, the passenger turned over and draped the vines around his wrist onto the arm of the person next to him.

The vine abruptly retracted, then, after several seconds, stubbornly stretched out again. This time, however, it didn't try to pull the person into the ground; instead, it directly pierced the passenger's skin with its vine tips to suck blood.

"Let's take it one step at a time. We have no choice but to run now." Mo Shuwan stood up with a helpless expression. "I'll go take a walk around."

Wen Zuo nodded and stood up as well. Last time, a passenger disappeared without anyone being able to sense it, and the world underwent another change. The side quests that kept reminding him at that time were enough to prove that there were still many unknown monsters hiding in the shadows in this world.

We must not let our guard down no matter what.

Liu Dongcheng, who had been sitting to the side with his eyes closed, also opened his eyes. After Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo walked a distance away, he got up and walked in one direction, taking on the patrol duty.

The passenger's body shrank visibly as the blood-sucking vine drained his blood. His face was filled with terror, and his bulging eyes rolled incessantly beneath his drooping eyelids.

Mo Shuwan, who had walked a short distance away, found herself at an angle where she could see the passengers' faces. She frowned, quickened her pace, and when she saw the passengers' weak appearance, her expression changed drastically. "Get up, all of you!"

The loud shout quickly caught the attention of Wen Zuo and Liu Dongcheng. Several passengers who were not sleeping soundly also woke up abruptly, jumping up from their spots with fear on their faces.

During this time, Mo Shuwan rushed to the passenger and suddenly pushed him awake. With her sharp eyes, she saw a vine that was quickly shrinking into the soil. Without hesitation, she immediately plunged the fire-attribute longsword in her hand into the ground and pulled it back hard. A bloody vine was turned up with the soil.

"It's the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine!"

Wen Zuo and Liu Dongcheng arrived quickly and launched an attack on the ground about ten steps away from Mo Shuwan. The soil flew up and a vine emerged from it. Wen Zuo grabbed the vine and suddenly felt its stiffness. He narrowed his eyes, gave up the idea of ​​cutting it off, and pulled hard on the vine.

"Don't scatter. The Bloodthirsty Vine isn't scary. If it attacks you, you can bite it with your teeth."

After giving a hasty instruction, Mo Shuwan ran to Wen Zuo's side, panting as she quickly surveyed the surrounding area. She soon discerned the hiding place of the vine from its struggling angle, sneered, and then took a few steps forward before stabbing the ground with her sword.

Wen Zuo, who was holding onto the vine, immediately felt a tremendous struggle. He was about to lose control on his own. Fortunately, Liu Dongcheng came forward to help him in time. At this moment, Yang Zhou and the others, who had come to their senses, also rushed over.

Mo Shuwan found the right spot and stabbed several more times without mercy. Sensing that the Bloodthirsty Vine was about to go berserk, she quickly shouted, "Pull it away!"

Wen Zuo and the others immediately exerted their strength, and a strangely shaped giant plant emerged from the ground. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that it consisted of only one vine, which was still being held by the passengers.

Mo Shuwan thought the Bloodthirsty Vine was about to attack, but its first reaction after emerging from the ground was to flee. Mo Shuwan, who had already assumed an attack stance, saw its intention to escape and changed the location of the attack instead of delivering a fatal blow, stabbing it in a place that didn't hurt.

The Bloodthirsty Vine struggled even more fiercely, and Mo Shuwan stabbed it again.

After that, whenever the Bloodthirsty Vine struggled violently, Mo Shuwan would stab it. After about five minutes of this, the Bloodthirsty Vine lay on the ground stained with its own blood and gave up struggling.

Seeing that the bloodthirsty demonic vines had been subdued, the passenger who had almost been sucked dry could no longer hold back and burst into a series of earth-shattering coughs, "Cough, cough cough..."

"Holy crap, you're coughing up blood!"

"Quick, quick, give him some water."

The passengers were in a flurry of activity.
