Liu Yue and Xiao Feng have both grown a bit taller. If they hadn't ventured into this disaster-ridden world full of crises and challenges, they would probably be in the fifth grade of elementary school right now.
At that moment, Liu Yue was changing bandages for others, while Xiao Feng was helping her by handing her things.
"Ouch—be gentle! Xiaoyue, you're using too much force!" Fan Yunfei couldn't help but exclaim, expressing his dissatisfaction with Liu Yue's actions.
However, Liu Yue ignored his complaints and continued to focus on her work, while Xiao Feng rolled his eyes at Fan Yunfei.
"Why are you making such a fuss? I didn't say a word when you changed it for me!" Xu Liang couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up.
"How can that be the same? You're not human, you're practically a gorilla!" Fan Yunfei retorted.
"You weakling!" Xu Liang replied dismissively.
"What do you know? I'm a highly intelligent, technically skilled person!" Fan Yunfei said proudly.
Xu Liang curled his lip in disdain: "Yeah, a technical expert, now he's buried in researching invisible energies in the universe all day long. Anyone who doesn't know the inside story would think he's some kind of charlatan!"
"What do you know!" Fan Yunfei retorted.
Xu Liang knew that Fan Yunfei was researching these things to explore the strange special abilities. They all wanted to become stronger and go to that world to see if they could still find Xu Anran's body. There was no need to be so persistent, but they always wanted to do something.
"You've found the wheat ears, what's next?" Uncle Li walked over and asked Xu Liang.
Xu Liang's face was so dark it looked like it could drip water, and he said through gritted teeth, "I'm going to kill that bastard!"
It turns out that in the previous world, they had an unexpected encounter with an organization called the "Hungry Wolf Squad." At that time, Liu Yue recognized them immediately—these were the culprits who killed Fatty!
However, Liu Yue was not blinded by hatred, but instead chose to quietly tell Uncle Li and Luo Xi about it.
They went over to test the other side's strength first, and then considered how to proceed.
Luo Xi then stepped forward to negotiate with the group, expressing his hope to cooperate. As everyone approached the Hungry Wolf Squad to discuss how to join forces, Xu Liang suddenly noticed the rope in the squad leader's hand.
A little girl was tied to the rope. Xu Liang's heart tightened, and he quickly walked over, squatted down, and carefully examined the girl's face.
As he drew closer, Xu Liang finally saw the little girl's face clearly. In an instant, a surge of intense anger welled up inside him; he clenched his fists tightly, his eyes flashing with fury.
When the members of the Hungry Wolf Squad saw Xu Liang approach their captain's pet, they introduced it with a grin: "How about it? This is our captain's pet, isn't it pretty!" They laughed as they spoke, and another person chimed in: "Yeah, she's amazing. Our boss really likes her. Of all the pets, she's the one who's lived the longest, and she's the boss's favorite."
Xu Liang clenched his fists. Although the girl in front of him had grown up a bit, he still recognized her. This was Brother Wang's daughter—Maisui! Looking at Maisui, he couldn't imagine what kind of torture the girl had suffered, or how she had survived.
His rage drove him mad; all he wanted was to teach these people a lesson. So, he charged forward recklessly and began fighting with them.
The fight gradually escalated into a chaotic brawl between the two teams. The two sides fought fiercely, neither gaining the upper hand, and both eventually returned to the waiting hall with injuries.
“I’ve inquired about it. The leader of that Hungry Wolf Squad is a pervert. He likes pretty kids, regardless of gender. Once they fall into his hands, they’ll be tortured to the point of wishing they were dead.” Zhao Chang’an told everyone the information he had gathered. “The one who has survived the longest so far is the wheat ear you’re looking for.”
"This Hungry Wolf Squad belongs to the Crimson Flame Guild, one of the top ten guilds in the waiting hall. Rumor has it that that pervert has some kind of relationship with the guild's vice president..."
"That person is indeed difficult to deal with. Not only is he strong, but he also has the guild as his backing. Moreover, after that battle, we have already revealed our hostility towards them, so it will probably be difficult to launch a sneak attack in the future," Fan Yunfei analyzed with concern.
"Not necessarily! I didn't show my face in the last world, and I still have quite a few good things in my hands! Hehe, why don't you let me make contact with them?" Zhao Chang'an smiled, his eyes narrowed, looking completely harmless. However, if anyone had ever witnessed the bloody scene of him poisoning those monsters, seeing him like this now would probably send chills down their spines and make their hearts tremble.
After listening to Zhao Chang'an's words, Luo Xi frowned and pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "You don't need to make contact for now. I have a more suitable candidate here. Let him go and see how things go first."
Hearing Luo Xi say this, everyone became curious and asked, "Who is it?"
Luo Xi smiled mysteriously and replied softly, "Someone even Sister An Ran finds terrifying."
By the campfire, Xu Anran sat quietly, taking small bites of bread.
The girl sitting next to her kindly asked if she needed water and handed her a glass. Xu Anran smiled and nodded in thanks.
The girl then asked, "Have you always stayed in this world? Then do you know why there are no strange occurrences here?"
They had carefully examined the surroundings and confirmed that there were no strange signs.
Xu Anran thought to herself that she had been here for so long, and replied, "Yes, I've been here the whole time. I don't know why, and I've never encountered anything strange before. I've never even seen a person. You are the first people I've met in all this time."
"So how did you manage to eat for so long?" someone interjected, asking curiously.
"I've stockpiled a lot of food!" Xu Anran said proudly.
In fact, she did store a lot of food in her space; however, the food in the ordinary space had long since spoiled and deteriorated, and only the food in the static space was edible.
"Do you know if there are any safe shelters or similar places nearby?" the team leader asked Xu Anran from across the room.
Xu Anran looked up, trying hard to recall, but found her mind blank. Just as she was about to say she didn't know, a picture of a Taoist temple suddenly appeared in her mind, and she blurted out without thinking, "A Taoist temple!"
"A Taoist temple?"
Xu Anran nodded firmly: "Yes, a Taoist temple, the largest Taoist temple in Feng Province—Qingfeng Temple!"
