"Since it's a pest, it must be inside the tree. The players ahead must have gone in. Should we follow them?" A spirited female player stared at the giant tree before her, her brows furrowed, and said thoughtfully.
She was one of only three women in the group, wielding a large machete that matched her personality.
Captain Wang Liang glanced around at his teammates, and after confirming that no one had expressed any objections, he nodded slightly and decisively said, "Alright, let's go!"
Immediately afterwards, he took firm and powerful steps, leading the entire team into the interior of the giant tree.
Wang Liang, who temporarily assumed the role of team leader, was not just a figurehead. On the road ahead, he always walked at the forefront of the team, and of course, he did the same when encountering danger.
As the team captain, he also enjoys certain special privileges—he is entitled to receive half a percent more in resource allocation than his teammates.
At this moment, Jiang An noticed Wang Liang's actions. She quickened her pace subtly and walked to He Zhizhou's vicinity.
This action was not meaningless, because they had made an agreement that they would work together to deal with danger.
However, Jiang An found it difficult to fully trust the other team members, as she couldn't be sure if they would stab her in the back at a crucial moment.
Soon, Jiang An heard the sounds of fighting above; some players had discovered the pests.
"Let's go up and take a look." Captain Wang's eyes lit up when he heard the voice from above, and he said excitedly.
Jiang An and the others nodded in agreement.
The group raised their weapons and quickly stepped forward, soon arriving at the scene of the fight.
Upon seeing the scene before her, Jiang An's eyes narrowed. Just as she had expected, the insect was enormous, with two long antennae, 24 legs, and a body five or six meters long—it was quite terrifying.
There are 5 bugs in total, and they are engaged in a fierce battle with several players.
These insects were enormous, with hard exoskeletons, and spewed green liquid from their mouths, sending chills down everyone's spines. The players were clearly losing, on the verge of defeat.
"Captain, let's go! We can't wait any longer!" a teammate shouted anxiously.
However, Captain Wang remained unusually calm. He gazed at the battlefield ahead and slowly said, "Wait a bit longer and observe the combat strength of these insects."
Captain Wang is experienced and resourceful, so he must have exceptional qualities to be chosen as captain.
Compared to those impulsive and reckless young men, he was better at assessing situations and wouldn't take risks easily.
Captain Wang Liang waited patiently for a while, and when he felt the time was right, he decisively ordered: "Jiang An, Chen Zhenghao, you two provide ranged support with arrows, the rest of us will go in together!"
"OK!"
"clear!"
Jiang An's eyes were as sharp as a hawk's. With lightning speed, she raised the crossbow in her hand and aimed the crosshair at one of the insects.
Completely focused, they waited for the perfect moment to fire; time seemed to stand still at that instant.
At the same time, the other teammates rushed towards the insect without hesitation, their figures as swift as a whirlwind.
Everyone displayed fearless courage and superb combat skills.
With many hands making light work, it wasn't long before the five insects fell dead under the players' combined attack.
"Thank you! Without your help, our team would have been wiped out." One of the opposing players stepped forward, his gratitude evident in his words.
However, when the topic of allocating the prey came up, a hint of unease crept into his voice.
After all, the other party was their savior, but they paid a huge price for these prey, and several teammates were even injured as a result.
"You can take 3 of these 5 prey, and we'll take 2. As for the stone chest that dropped, it's yours too. How about that?" he suggested cautiously, his eyes fixed on Jiang An and the others, hoping to get a satisfactory answer.
At this moment, a tense atmosphere filled the air, and everyone was waiting for Wang Liang's response.
