"Gu Mian? Is that you?" Wang Xuanyi exclaimed in astonishment.
Gu Mian raised an eyebrow, ignoring Wang Xuanyi, and looked at the other people again.
"Yes, yes..." The bald, muscular man was interrupted by the moose's attack before he could finish speaking.
"Gu Mian..." In a corner where no one was paying attention, Gu Junjie spoke with a face full of jealousy and hatred: "Aren't you going to come and help? Do you want me to die here?"
Gu Mian glanced at him in surprise and said indifferently, "What does it matter to me whether you live or die?"
"I'm your own brother!" Gu Junjie roared angrily, "How can you not save me? How can you face my father? I'm the lifeblood of the Gu family!"
"Oh." Gu Mian blinked indifferently and said nonchalantly, "Then call your dad to save you. The lifeblood of the Gu family can't be hurt here."
"Hey beautiful! Hey beautiful! Don't pay attention to that idiot! Hurry up and help! We really can't hold on any longer!"
Having narrowly avoided the moose's hooves once again, the bald man shouted breathlessly.
"I can help," Gu Mian said dismissively, "but the points are mine."
The bald man quickly agreed, "No problem! No problem! As long as you can solve these two pollutants, we have no objections!"
Gu Mian then looked at the other two men, who were both panting heavily and nodding hurriedly. Only then did she slowly take out her staff and attack the moose from a distance.
[Defeat the Tier 2 pollutant to earn 100 points.]
[Defeat the Tier 2 pollutant to earn 100 points.]
A flash of white light, and the two second-order contaminants were instantly killed!
Wow!
Gu Mian looked at the staff in her hand with some surprise. She only knew that this thing was definitely the nemesis of pollutants, but she never expected that it could be so effective in suppressing them. It could even instantly kill second-tier pollutants.
The scene suddenly became quiet.
Over there, the men, still in their fleeing posture, stared blankly at Gu Mian, who was holding a staff, their mouths agape in shock, speechless for a long time.
After a long pause, the bald man finally managed to utter, his lips trembling, "A Dou Zong expert... is truly terrifying!"
Gu Mian: ...
I think you've been reading too many fantasy novels!
After a moment of silence, Gu Mian finally decided to say nothing and turned to leave.
"Isn't it a bit much for you to just leave like this? We were all seriously injured because of these two pollutants, and you ended up taking all the points. Shouldn't you give us something as compensation?"
ha?
Who is so shameless as to say such a thing?
In an instant, everyone's eyes were drawn to the owner of the voice.
The person speaking was none other than Wang Xuanyi, who did nothing but cower behind a tree with a timid expression.
Seeing everyone looking at her, she immediately tried to appear to be thinking of everyone's best interests, but in reality, the greed and scheming in her eyes were impossible to hide.
"Xuanyi is right! We've all been so badly injured, and you've given us all the points. You have to leave us something as compensation!"
Gu Junjie struggled to lift his head, shouting angrily.
Gu Mian ignored him completely and looked at the other three people, "What do you have to say? Are you also trying to back out?"
The bald man immediately shook his head and said, "She's nothing. We don't even know her. If it weren't for your help, beautiful boss, we wouldn't even be able to survive, let alone get any points."
The other two echoed in agreement, "That's right, we have no objections. You earned these points through your own ability."
The three people's words were like a slap in the face to Wang Xuanyi.
Wang Xuanyi blushed immediately and burst into tears in embarrassment.
"Xuanyi didn't say anything wrong. She's so kind and thinks of you all. You ignore her good intentions, and why are you targeting her instead!"
On the ground, Gu Junjie roared angrily, his face contorted with rage, but his swollen cheeks made him look rather ridiculous.
"Is this guy out of his mind? Why does he talk like an idiot?" the bald man muttered, looking puzzled.
Enraged by the bald man's words, Gu Junjie clutched his chest and almost spat out another mouthful of blood.
Wang Xuanyi glanced at the bald man with a resentful look, as if complaining that her good intentions were not understood.
The bald man shuddered at the woman's gaze; her eyes were so sharp they almost gave him goosebumps.
Gu Mian had no interest in continuing this farce; she needed to hurry on her journey.
I had just turned around to leave.
"Wait a minute! Gu Mian, can you take me with you?"
Gu Mian: "...Do you have a brain disorder?"
You were just trying to steal something from me, and now you want to come with me? You seem to have something wrong with your head.
Gu Mian's words were extremely impolite, and Wang Xuanyi's face immediately turned pale and then red.
She gritted her teeth, "You can't leave me behind!"
uh-huh?
"Interesting." Gu Mian coldly scoffed, "Tell me, why do I insist on bringing you along? Do you intend to hire me to protect you?"
“However, hiring me is quite expensive.” She looked Wang Xuanyi up and down, then clicked her tongue lightly. “You should be able to afford it, right?”
His expression was extremely sarcastic, and his tone was full of sarcasm.
Wang Xuanyi's face flushed red, and she gritted her teeth: "If you don't take me with you, I'll have to wander around the island alone. If I encounter pollutants, I'll definitely die, and then you'll be indirectly a murderer!"
Gu Mian looked at her with disbelief, then laughed in exasperation: "You really are so self-righteous."
"We're in a survival game now, do you think moral blackmail will work on me?"
As she spoke, Gu Mian put away her staff, took out a short knife and fiddled with it in her hand, glancing at her casually:
"Since you think you're going to die sooner or later, how about I play the good guy and let you start over now?"
Her tone was light and casual, and her expression playful, but no one dared to bet that Gu Mian was joking.
Wang Xuanyi turned pale with fright and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
She couldn't understand how someone could threaten to kill someone over a mere disagreement. Was she a devil?
Could she be some kind of ruthless female demon who kills without hesitation?
Wang Xuanyi was terrified by her own imagination. She lowered her head timidly, afraid to speak, lest the female demon misunderstand her words and plunge the dagger into her chest.
Gu Mian looked at her timid and cowardly appearance, clicked his tongue in boredom, put away the short knife, said nothing more, and turned to leave.
"Gu Mian, you can't leave! You can't leave me here alone!"
On the ground, Gu Junjie shouted at the top of his lungs.
Seeing that Gu Mian didn't turn around, he said with a face full of resentment, "Even if you don't care about me, you have to leave me some medicine for my injuries and survival supplies! Otherwise, my dad won't let you off the hook!"
"How annoying." Gu Mian ignored it and sped up, leaving the annoying sound far behind.
Does he still think he's a pampered young master of the Gu family?
Given their childhood feud, she was already being kind by not going to add insult to injury, yet she still wanted him to give her medicine and supplies?
This is like living in a dream.
