Lu Yuan and his group drove into the heart of the Scorching Sun Forest.
Soft sunlight streamed through the car window, and a gentle breeze carried the refreshing fragrance of flowers, making one feel relaxed and happy.
Lu Yuan was startled, and for a moment he even forgot that he was there to carry out a punitive mission.
"The scenery here... is a little different from what I imagined."
Sitting on the left, Zhou Cheng smiled and said, "Doesn't the surrounding environment feel very refreshing? It's a great place for an outing."
Lu Yuan nodded subconsciously and then looked out the window.
The sturdy trees rushed past, but unlike the Black Forest, the intense sunlight could still penetrate the canopy and shine down.
It perfectly matches the name of the Scorching Sun Forest.
"Don't let your guard down."
Seeing Lu Yuan's relaxed expression, as if he were really on vacation, Zhou Cheng couldn't help but warn him.
"Due to the influence of the tiger beasts, we are unaware of the changes that have occurred within the Scorching Sun Forest. Underestimating them could easily lead to trouble!"
"Don't worry, I understand the reasoning."
Lu Yuan nodded with a smile.
He understood the lesson of losing Jingzhou due to carelessness, so even when facing the weakest enemy, he would not let his guard down and would go all out.
The group continued to venture deeper into the Scorching Sun Forest.
Along the way, they encountered many more monsters, all of which were dealt with by Zhou Cheng and Liu Tianhao.
Strangely enough.
Logically speaking, there shouldn't be so many aggressive monsters in the Scorching Sun Forest, but every monster they encountered along the way was extremely aggressive, as if they didn't welcome them at all.
"This is so bizarre!"
Du Pengyi, who was driving, looked serious. Ever since entering the Scorching Sun Forest, his brow had been furrowed.
"Yes! There weren't so many monsters in the forest when we came before, how did it become like this in just a few days?"
Liu Tianhao also had a tense expression, constantly looking around.
"Don't panic! These are not the reasons we came to the Scorching Sun Forest. Proceed according to plan and try not to cause any other trouble!"
Despite saying that, Yang Lin's expression was equally grim.
The atmosphere inside the SUV grew increasingly tense.
Only Lu Yuan remained nonchalant, as if nothing around him had any effect on him.
"By the way, why don't you just summon your own beasts? It's much faster to have your beasts lead the way than to drive like this, right?" Lu Yuan asked, somewhat puzzled.
According to his idea, the people in the car were at least Earth Spirit level Beast Tamers. Riding their beasts directly towards the tiger beast would be much faster than driving along step by step.
"no."
Yang Lin shook his head and rejected Lu Yuan's idea.
“Our beast-taming level is too high. If we release them, the tiger beast will definitely sense our presence, which could easily lead to mission failure. Moreover, the situation in the Scorching Sun Forest is too strange right now. If several unfamiliar beasts suddenly appear, we might be surrounded and attacked by other monsters in the forest, which would be counterproductive.”
Lu Yuan nodded.
No wonder Zhou Cheng and Liu Tianhao always put their beasts back into their spatial storage after dealing with the monsters; they had considered so many factors.
However, this would significantly slow down their progress.
It wasn't until noon that they had just entered the outer edge of the Scorching Sun Forest.
"There seems to be a stream ahead, let's go check it out."
Yang Lin pointed to the left and said to Du Pengyi.
soon.
They arrived at the stream that Yang Lin had mentioned.
The area around here is mostly shallow water with little vegetation, and occasionally traces of monster activity can be seen.
"Acheng, Haozi, you two go and look around."
Upon receiving Yang Lin's order, Zhou Cheng and Liu Tianhao immediately got out of the car and dispersed in different directions.
See here.
Lu Yuan wanted to get off the bus as well, but Yang Lin stopped him.
"Don't get out of the car yet. Wait until you're sure there's no danger before you do anything, otherwise it will delay the evacuation."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan, who had just lifted his buttocks, had no choice but to put them back down on the seat.
Not long after.
Zhou Cheng and Liu Haotian returned one after the other.
"No other monsters were found nearby, so we should be safe for now!"
"Okay! Let's rest here for a while."
Once it was confirmed that it was safe to get off the bus, Lu Yuan was the first to jump out and greedily inhale a breath of air.
"call!"
The air in the forest is definitely fresher!
After being jostled and rocked in the car all morning, almost shaking his brain to its core, he can finally get off and catch his breath.
Du Pengyi walked to the stream, washed his face in the water, and immediately felt refreshed and more awake.
After driving all morning and constantly being alert to his surroundings, even this experienced driver felt overwhelmed by the high level of mental exertion.
Everyone found a place to rest.
Lu Yuan also found a rock to sit on, and then took out a fragrant bowl of hot noodles from his spatial storage.
This was something he had Chu Xing make in the Beast Taming Space when he learned he could rest.
It wasn't until he saw the hot noodles in his hand, which looked and smelled delicious, that Lu Yuan believed Chu Xing's words about being an all-around housekeeper. He had always thought Chu Xing was just bragging!
Slurp!
Just as Lu Yuan was about to pick up his chopsticks, a sound of someone slurping saliva suddenly came from the side.
Looking up, he met the hungry glares of Yang Lin and the others.
"cough!"
Lu Yuan coughed lightly, feeling embarrassed, and handed the hot noodles in his hand to them.
"Why don't you guys have some too?"
"Thank you, Mr. Lu. Then we won't stand on ceremony!"
As soon as Lu Yuan finished speaking, Yang Lin and the others reached out and took the noodles, each picking them up with chopsticks and eating them.
After going around once, the noodles returned to Lu Yuan's hands.
Looking at the two remaining mouthfuls of noodles in the bowl, Lu Yuan couldn't help but twitch his lips.
He was just going through the motions, but he didn't expect these guys to be so ruthless with him!
Yang Lin scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.
"I'm sorry, but in the past, every time we went on a mission, we could only eat dry rations. This is the first time we've had a hot meal!"
"That's right! And I didn't eat breakfast, so I unconsciously picked out a few extra noodles, but I have to say, these noodles taste really good!"
Zhou Cheng and Liu Tianhao both gave Lu Yuan a thumbs up.
Even Du Pengyi, the most serious member of the team, couldn't help but nod affirmatively at Lu Yuan.
"..."
Lu Yuan sighed, rubbing his forehead.
That's enough.
They can't be blamed for that.
They were all strong and healthy men. It was only after this bowl of noodles had been passed around and returned to him that there were still two bites left. This was the result of their best efforts to restrain themselves.
"Since that's the case, then I'll treat you guys to a better meal today!"
As he spoke.
Lu Yuan called out to Chu Xing in the Beast Taming Space through his consciousness.
"Boss, five more bowls of noodles, please!"
