"Is it you?"
The speaker was Zhuang Yizhou, who liked to speak in a roundabout way, and standing next to him was Xia Rumeng.
The two main actors she was watching suddenly ran up to her and said something quite interesting.
Gu Mian feigned ignorance and asked, "Do we know each other? Why are you looking for me?"
A glint of greed flashed in Xia Rumeng's eyes, but a sweet smile appeared on her face: "We don't know you, but sister, you should know us, right?"
Gu Mian raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean?"
Xia Rumeng: "Sister, weren't you just hiding behind the tree and peeking at us?"
Pretending to be something you're not really interested in.
"So?" At this point, Gu Mian stopped pretending to be confused: "What do you want by following us here?"
"Hehe." Xia Rumeng looked Gu Mian up and down with a flirtatious gaze, her heart filled with jealousy as she looked at Gu Mian's outstanding face even without makeup.
"We don't want to do anything to you, we just want to ask you for a little bit of supplies."
"Huh?" Gu Mian picked at her ears, wondering if she had misheard.
Meeting Gu Mian's questioning gaze, Xia Rumeng nodded affirmatively: "That's exactly right."
"Interesting." Gu Mian forced a smile. "What if I don't want to give it to you?"
“Then it’s not up to you, sister.” Xia Rumeng raised her chin slightly, and then two more men emerged from the woods.
The four people exchanged glances, then gradually moved closer, surrounding Gu Mian and giving her no chance to escape.
"Oh? Is that so?" Seeing Xia Rumeng's smug expression, Gu Mian quickly rushed over, kicked her to the ground, and crushed her face with the sole of her shoe. "So, what about now?"
Yu Miao and Yang Fan's expressions changed. They hadn't expected Gu Mian to be so fast. They grabbed their weapons and were about to attack.
Gu Mian pulled her foot back, turned to the side and raised her leg to deliver a double kick, one to Yu Miao's chin and the other to Yang Fan's side. The two were kicked three meters away and rolled several times after landing.
Upon seeing this, Zhuang Yizhou, who had just taken a step, immediately pulled his foot back.
Xia Rumeng looked terrified and hurriedly got up to run away, but she was caught up by Gu Mian after only two steps and was kicked to the ground again.
"You were so arrogant just now?" Gu Mian stepped on her face again.
"I'm...I'm sorry, it was my fault, please forgive me..."
Xia Rumeng was filled with remorse.
She only saw Gu Mian and thought she could rob her on a whim, but who knew she would actually kick someone...
Tough guy.
Gu Mian remained silent. She didn't believe Xia Rumeng really knew she was wrong. Just by looking at her eyes, which were full of jealousy and resentment, she knew that this person was probably thinking about how to take revenge on her.
As for someone who harbors thoughts of revenge against her, Gu Mian would rather strike first than let them go.
So Gu Mian didn't waste any more words with her, and directly took out a short knife and stabbed it down.
It missed.
Just as the dagger was about to pierce her, Xia Rumeng's figure suddenly vanished.
Gu Mian stood up and looked around. The woods were quiet, and the remaining three people had already slipped away at some unknown time.
...
More than 500 meters away, Xia Rumeng was panting and leaning against a rock, looking disheveled.
She never expected Gu Mian to be so ruthless, attacking her to death without saying a word.
And those men who abandoned her without a word and ran away—Xia Rumeng gritted her teeth in hatred, secretly vowing in her heart that she would never let it go so easily.
...
Although the island is very large, it is very poor in resources.
Gu Mian wandered around the island for several hours, and apart from catching a few pheasants and rabbits at the beginning, she only found three bronze boxes later.
The island was quite lush with trees, but they were all ordinary trees, yielding only basic timber, so she wasn't motivated to cut them down.
With two hours left before the island's arrival time, Gu Mian sat bored on a rock. Just as she took out a box of sliced yellow peaches to eat, Xu Kun started tagging her repeatedly in the group chat.
Xu Kun: "[Image] This place is so beautiful, sis, come and play with me!"
Click on the picture, and you'll see red maple leaves covering the mountains and plains. As far as the eye can see, the entire mountain is covered in a fiery red, as beautiful as a magnificent and colorful painting.
Gu Mian made a decisive decision: "Go!"
Rather than staying on this resource-scarce island for another two hours, she would definitely choose to go to another island!
The red maple leaves on that mountain peak are especially beautiful!
Xu Kun immediately used his team-up card to invite her, and the moment Gu Mian agreed, she appeared beside Xu Kun.
Xu Kun's eyes lit up when he saw Gu Mian: "Come on, my dear sister, let's take a picture together."
As he spoke, he stood under the tree and struck a pose with practiced ease.
Gu Mian: ...
She gave him a disdainful look: "Where's Jiang Bai?"
Sensing Gu Mian's disdain, Xu Kun complained, "Sis, what kind of look is that?! I'm a handsome guy, you're looking down on me like that, don't I have any dignity?!"
"Okay, okay, let's give this handsome guy some face." Gu Mian walked over perfunctorily and leaned against a tree: "Alright, let's take the picture."
Xu Kun chuckled, quickly walked over, placed one hand on Gu Mian's head, struck a tree-slamming pose, and used the other hand to open the light screen and quickly take a screenshot.
Just as I finished taking two screenshots and was about to change my pose, Jiang Bai's voice came from afar: "Old Xu, has Gu Mian arrived? I found a cave here, and it looks like there's something inside."
"Coming, coming!" Gu Mian shouted, then ran over quickly.
"Alright." Xu Kun sighed helplessly, turned off the light screen, and followed.
The cave was located under a piece of ore in the mountain range. Jiang Bai happened to be collecting ore here, and after he finished collecting the ore, the cave was revealed.
"It's alright, not too deep. I'll go down and take a look." After saying that, Xu Kun jumped down.
Gu Mian peered into the cave and saw a faint light emanating from it. It seemed to be not very high off the ground, so she followed suit and jumped down.
Jiang Bai:......
He closed his open mouth, about to say that he had a ladder, but before he could say a word, the two of them jumped down one after the other.
Didn't these two people think about how they'd get back up after jumping down now?
...
The cave was dimly lit. Xu Kun held a torch in one hand and a Tang sword in the other, his figure flashing as if he were fighting something.
Gu Mian stared intently, and by the dim light of the fire, she finally saw that Xu Kun was fighting a giant earthworm with a waist as thick as a water bucket and a length of more than two meters.
The Tang sword slashed at the earthworm, producing a constant, ear-piercing metallic sound.
"Damn it! Why is it this disgusting stuff again!" Gu Mian couldn't help but take a few steps back, feeling the hairs on her body stand on end.
