"Huh?" Before Gu Xiaobei could react, Gu Mian had already disappeared from sight.
"What?! Run!" Xu Kun didn't dare look into the depths of the woods. He kicked Gu Xiaobei in the face and chased after Gu Mian.
"Holy crap! I suspect you're taking revenge for someone else!" Gu Xiaobei followed after him, her face contorted in pain.
Jiang Bai said coolly, "Don't doubt it, it is him."
"Damn it! We're surrounded!" Xu Kun's face darkened as he stared at the group of Illusionary Demon Vines blocking his path, the sounds of their attacks echoing in his ears—

The system notification sound.
"Hmm." Gu Mian took out the Moon-Entwining Sword: "If we can't escape, let's fight."
As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of sword light instantly annihilated a patch of Illusionary Demon Vines!
[Defeat the Tier 4 mutated creature, the Illusionary Vine, and gain 10,000 points.]
[Defeat the Tier 4 mutated creature, the Illusionary Vine, and gain 10,000 points.]
...
Gu Xiaobai clapped her hands excitedly, "Wow! That's cool!"
"Drama queen." Gu Mian glanced at him speechlessly, took out three purification potions, and drank them in one gulp.
The pollution level, which had risen to 80, instantly dropped back to 50.
Seeing this, Gu Xiaobei hurriedly took out two purification potions and drank them, then looked at Gu Mian with a bitter face: "Sister, I'm out of purification potions."
Gu Mian: "100 points per item."
After speaking, she took out five purification potions from her backpack and handed them to him.
Gu Xiaobei readily agreed, "No problem." He took the medicine and casually put it in his pocket.
Xu Kun: "Hey, hey, hey, stop chatting there! Come on, let's fight monsters together!"
With a sweep of his Tang sword, he instantly annihilated a Phantom Vine.
Gu Xiaobei chuckled and said, "You're getting impatient."
Xu Kun immediately became furious and embarrassed: "What's there for me to be in such a hurry?!"
He then downed three vials of purification potion, grabbed his Tang sword, and charged out to fight.
Gu Xiaobei cried out in surprise and chased after him, swinging her meteor hammer: "Don't steal my moment of glory! I'm live-streaming!"
Gu Mian: ...
I think it's you guys who shouldn't be stealing my points!
Half an hour later.
Gu Mian drank two purification potions with a suspicious look: "What's going on? Why can't we kill all these vine demons?"
"I don't know!" Gu Xiaobei gasped for breath, swinging his meteor hammer to kill a phantom vine. "How about we go into the woods and take a look?"
Xu Kun: "Young man, you're pretty brave, aren't you?"
Gu Xiaobei immediately puffed out his chest: "Yes, saving the world depends on me!"
Gu Mian: ...
Damn it!
Is this really that childish?
Jiang Bai stared into the depths of the woods, then suddenly his eyes sharpened: "Something feels off. Let's get out of here as soon as possible."
He slapped a speed card on his body, grabbed Gu Mian, and started running quickly.
Xu Kun was stunned for a moment, then quickly slapped a speed card onto his body and pulled Gu Xiaobei to chase after them: "What does this mean? Lao Bai, what did you see?"
Jiang Bai frowned, his expression unusually serious: "A black hole."
Gu Mian: "Huh?"
Xu Kun: "Black hole?"
Gu Xiaobei: "I don't understand Korean!"
Jiang Bai: "..."
You guys are really good at ruining the mood.
He tried to regain his serious tone: "The key point is that vine demons are constantly emerging from the black hole."
Gu Xiaobei was shocked: "That black hole is an alternate dimension?"
Jiang Bai: "...Maybe."
"So what do we do next?" Gu Mian turned around, raised her hand, and the Floating Light Glazed Fan emitted five streams of light that instantly killed the Illusionary Demon Vine.
[Defeat the Tier 4 mutated creature, the Illusionary Vine, and gain 10,000 points.]
Xu Kun suddenly looked at Gu Xiaobei and said, "Don't you have a permanent protective shield?"
"Yeah." Gu Xiaobei raised his hand and took out a protective shield, covering the group. "So, are we going to fight?"
"Fight!" Gu Mian said decisively.
Then, with a wave of his hand, 99 purification potions appeared on the ground: "Free to use."
Gu Xiaobei cheered, "Sister Mian is so generous!" He then bent down, scooped up three sticks, and gulped them down.
"I'm going to kill a monster!"
He then wielded the meteor hammer and swung it wildly, instantly killing the illusory vines surrounding the protective shield.
Gu Mian: "6".

I glanced at her personal panel and saw that her pollution level had risen to 76.
Just as I was about to drink the three purification potions I had just retrieved, I saw several people running towards me from a distance, their faces still showing signs of shock.
Upon closer inspection, I realized that two of them were acquaintances!
It was Nie Yun and Nie Yu, the brother and sister.
These people were chased by several Illusionary Demon Vines and were in a very sorry state. Almost everyone's clothes had been torn in several places by the vines.
While running at high speed, Nie Yu vaguely saw a glowing dome in front of her. She accidentally tripped over a stone and was about to fall face down when someone suddenly pulled her arm, and she fell to her side instead of down.
"careful!"
Nie Yu quickly opened her eyes and saw a vine as thick as an arm about to lash out at her face, which terrified her and made her turn pale.
“Whoosh!”
A sharp, piercing sound rang out.
An arrow gleaming with white light shot from afar at incredible speed, striking precisely the vine that was about to lash Nie Yu's face.
The vines suddenly paused, and the next second, they turned into a cloud of green mist and disappeared into the air.
Nie Yun called out anxiously, "Xiaoyu, are you alright? Are you hurt?"
Because of this slight delay, the vines of the Illusionary Demons caught up in an instant, and the arm-thick vines bound the group tightly in no time.

...
The sharp system notification sound kept ringing out. Nie Yu's eyes filled with tears of fear. She kept shaking her head, but the vines covered her mouth tightly, so she couldn't make a sound.
Just as the pollution level was about to rise to 90, Nie Yu was about to close her eyes in despair when she caught a glimpse of several dazzling streaks of light striking the Illusionary Demon Vine in front of her.
The next second, the Illusionary Vine let out a piercing howl, and its entire body instantly exploded into a cloud of green mist that dissipated into the air.
The vines binding her disappeared, and Nie Yu collapsed to the ground, feeling utterly powerless. Her vision began to blur, and the rapid beating of her heart even caused her to experience tinnitus.
In a daze, a slender, fair hand reached out to her, holding five purification potions in its palm. Then, a clear and melodious female voice rang out: "Can you drink them yourself?"
"Yes!" she heard herself answer in a daze.
Driven by a strong will to survive, she grabbed all the medicine in that hand, her hands trembling as she unscrewed the caps and drank it all down in one gulp.
"Hehe, I didn't expect this vine demon to like bondage parties."
My vision gradually cleared, and the tinnitus gradually disappeared.
I never expected that the first thing I would hear after regaining consciousness would be this.
Nie Yu: ...
