Gu Mian glanced back and saw Xu Kun and Jiang Bai also looking thoughtfully at the dense forest, so she asked, "Shall we go in and take a look?"
Xu Kun said nonchalantly, "Go ahead. If there are pollutants inside, we can use them to farm points."
Jiang Bai didn't speak, but nodded in agreement.
Since she wanted to go in anyway, Gu Mian didn't hesitate any longer. She took out her staff and prepared to walk inside.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
I had barely taken a step when someone grabbed my shoulder.
Gu Mian turned around, looking puzzled, and asked, "Should I go in and take a look?"
Xu Kun chuckled: "With two grown men like us here, why would we let a little sister like you lead the charge?"
"You stand at the back and wait until we're inside and it's safe before you follow."
Gu Mian: "Oh."
Okay, I'll give you a chance to show off.
The dense forest is filled with lush trees, their branches intertwined at the top, preventing light from penetrating and making it appear very dark inside.
Gu Mian waited outside for a few minutes before hearing Xu Kun call her name. Then, she slowly walked in, still holding her staff.
"Little sister, be careful when you follow behind."
"Mm," Gu Mian responded.
The forest was dark, and she saw two dark figures standing on the path. Only when she got closer could she tell who was who.
After walking along the path for about fifty or sixty meters, the space suddenly opened up in front of us.
Through the gap between the two bodies, she could see several banana trees in front of her, with bright yellow bananas growing on them.
Xu Kun's eyes lit up, and he turned around excitedly: "These bananas look good, shall we pick some?"
Gu Mian gave a perfunctory reply. She didn't lack fruit, but it wouldn't hurt to stock up on more.
The banana tree was about two meters tall. Xu Kun walked to the base of the tree, held up his machete, and demonstrated that it was a height he could reach with one hand outstretched.
He raised his arm, just about to chop the banana.
Suddenly, a "squeak, squeak, squeak" sound came from the trees in the dense forest. A monkey swung over, pulling itself along a branch.
It landed beside the banana tree, its scarlet eyes fixed on Xu Kun, and it let out an angry howl, as if calling for its companions.
"Squeak!"
"Squeak squeak squeak!"
A series of shouts followed, and another group of monkeys rushed over.
These monkeys, standing upright, were about a meter tall and howled angrily around Xu Kun.
Surrounded by a group of monkeys, Xu Kun felt a few drops of cold sweat instantly trickle down his forehead.
Gu Mian noticed that their fur was black, their teeth were sharp, and their claws were extremely sharp.
It had a long tail trailing behind it and emitted an indescribable stench.
[Mutant Long-tailed Langur: Tier 2 Pollutant, Health 200, Attack 50, Speed 50, Defense 20.]
Fortunately, these monkeys are high-attack but fragile; otherwise, their sheer number would have been quite difficult to deal with.
Gu Mian raised her staff and pointed it at the monkeys surrounding Xu Kun. "I'll count to three. When you hear me count to three, run over here as soon as possible."
Xu Kun didn't dare to speak, but could only signal with his eyes that he understood.
Gu Mian: "3".
Before the words had even finished, Gu Mian launched an attack.
[Defeat the Tier 2 pollutant to earn 100 points.]
[Defeat the Tier 2 pollutant to earn 100 points.]
[Defeat the Tier 2 pollutant to earn 100 points.]
The monkeys surrounding Xu Kun were suddenly breached, and before they could react, Xu Kun charged out yelling and brandishing a machete.
Jiang Bai stood to the side, holding a bow and arrow and shooting at the monkeys chasing Xu Kun. Every time a monkey was hit, a ball of flame would burst from its body until its health bar was depleted.
Driven mad by the pursuit, Xu Kun, while screeching and yelling, turned around and slashed at the two monkeys, instantly killing them both.
Good, good, good!
I thought I was the only one who had a new weapon, but it turns out everyone else was keeping their skills hidden!
Xu Kun escaped the monkey troop's encirclement, and Jiang Bai no longer held back in his actions.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
They fired three arrows simultaneously, each killing a monkey.
In no time, the mutated monkey troop was wiped out.
Gu Mian only killed 6 monkeys; the rest were dealt with by Xu Kun and Jiang Bai.
Xu Kun looked at the banana tree and sighed, "Now nothing should bother me anymore."
Gu Mian glanced at him speechlessly, offering no comment.
"Stop dawdling, hurry up and finish cutting the bananas, it's time for lunch." Jiang Bai said, and took the lead towards the banana tree.
There weren't many banana trees in total, and Xu Kun and Jiang Bai picked them all in no time, without Gu Mian having to lift a finger.
There were exactly 15 bunches of bananas, so there was no need for anyone to refuse; the three of them split them equally.
After distributing the bananas, Xu Kun asked enthusiastically, "Little sister, what would you like to eat? I brought a lot of marinated meat skewers. How about we have barbecue later?"
"Wouldn't that be too much trouble?" Gu Mian asked hesitantly. "I have a lot of boxed lunches here. How about we eat boxed lunches?"
She previously received 60 boxed meals from the Zhao brothers!
"No, no, no." Xu Kun shook his head hastily, "The three of us finally got together, why would we eat boxed lunches? Of course we're going to have some skewers!"
"Little sister, just wait to eat, Lao Bai and I will take care of the grilling!"
Hearing his name mentioned, Jiang Bai nodded and said, "Okay, you can just wait to eat."
"Alright then." Since the minority had to submit to the majority, and besides, she didn't have to lift a finger and could just wait to eat, Gu Mian didn't say anything more.
"Let's go!" Xu Kun excitedly disappeared back into the dense forest.
Jiang Bai and Gu Mian followed silently behind him.
The three of them walked out of the dense forest and found a place with a wide view.
