Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo dared not relax completely. Although the other party appeared harmless, who knew if it was an act? Moreover, they could not tell whether what he said, including the existence of the props, was true or false.
Mo Shuwan nodded: "Thank you."
Fang Min, who had already walked up to the two of them, smiled. His eyes glanced at Mo Shuwan's wrist with the red string, and he looked at her with a knowing look in his eyes. He raised the hand with the red string, opened his phone and opened the Contacts app. "It's fate that we met in the mission world. Would you two mind adding each other as contacts?"
Adding contacts wouldn't hurt, so Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo readily agreed and quickly added Fang Min as a contact. When Lan Chengzhou came over with mixed feelings, they also added each other as contacts.
Fang Min looked at the message on his phone and smiled, "My teammates are in some trouble. We have to go. Stay in touch via text."
Even after Fang Min pulled him at least a hundred meters away, Lan Chengzhou still couldn't figure out his intentions. He held back for a while but couldn't help it anymore. "Captain, why did you just say everything? Didn't you say we shouldn't trust the passengers on other buses too much?"
Lan Chengzhou's current incomprehension stems from the fact that in the previous world, they had encountered other bus passengers. Back then, the captain treated them like thieves and sternly warned all team members not to approach other bus passengers. Yet now, he himself had broken that rule.
"Yes, but in some special circumstances, this rule can be slightly broken." Fang Min looked at the message he had just sent with satisfaction and continued in a good mood, "For example, when you fall in love with a girl at first sight."
Lan Chengzhou exclaimed in shock, "Captain, you've taken a liking to that girl from earlier???"
Fang Min smiled but didn't say anything.
Meanwhile, Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo, who were still in the same spot, circled around the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine to make sure that no more side quests for collecting items had been triggered before leaving this place of trouble without stopping.
After confirming that there was no danger in the surrounding area, Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo sat down on the ground and took out a pack of compressed biscuits and mineral water from their storage space. While eating, Mo Shuwan opened the message marked 'Fang Min'.
Fang Min: It's rare to meet someone like me in a mission world. Just a word of advice: be careful of the people around you.
Mo Shuwan squinted at the message for a few seconds, took a sip of mineral water, and then said, "Fang Min sent me a message saying that I am the same kind of person as him and that I should be careful of the people around me. Why do you think he said that I am the same kind of person as him?"
Wen Zuo: It's probably because he's also the captain.
"Well, that's probably the only thing we have in common." Mo Shuwan nodded, thought for a moment, and then typed a reply asking why.
To my surprise, Fang Min replied very quickly.
Fang Min: Your identity.
"My identity?"
Wen Zuo immediately realized what was going on, smiled, and typed back: He's also a captain, and the passengers all know that captains have great benefits. It's normal for him to tell you to be careful of me. But if he's saying this to you for no reason, he's probably trying to sow discord between us.
Mo Shuwan couldn't help but smile. "It seems so. He's practically offering himself up. Wouldn't it be a shame not to take advantage of it?"
Wen Zuo looked at Mo Shuwan with a helpless expression, while Mo Shuwan couldn't wait to start typing and sending a message, "I completed a side quest by chance that rewarded a lot of points and exchanged for a lot of life-saving items. Although the captain's benefits are very good, they only know the surface, and they don't dare to deal with me."
Mo Shuwan read the text aloud as she typed it. Although Wen Zuo didn't react much, the smile in his eyes deepened considerably.
Fang Min: It seems you don't trust me yet.
Mo Shuwan said speechlessly, "He's so shameless. We've only met once and talked for less than five minutes, and he actually said that I don't trust him. If I trusted him, wouldn't I be incredibly stupid?"
Mo Shuwan: Yes.
Fang Min replied after a while: I'm only reminding you now to make a good connection. As long as you leave this mission world alive, you'll understand that my reminder is absolutely not malicious.
Mo Shuwan didn't reply immediately this time. Instead, she discussed it with Wen Zuo for a while before typing a reply. However, the message she sent seemed to sink without a trace. She waited for half an hour without receiving any response until Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo set off again and heard a 'ding-dong' sound indicating that a message had been received.
"There was still no answer, but he said that in this world we not only have to be careful of dinosaurs, but also plants. The Bloodthirsty Vine we just encountered is the lowest level of plant, and there are huge numbers of them. Their main body lives underground, and they like to climb the branches of trees with their vines and pretend to be ordinary plants."
Mo Shuwan sent a thank you message, then couldn't help but look around, trying to find traces of the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine. "This world is indeed not that simple."
Wen Zuo nodded, paying even closer attention to the commotion around him.
Mo Shuwan also gripped her fire-attribute longsword tightly, and sent the information about the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine and the plants to be careful of to Cai Zhongqi and the others. Then she and Wen Zuo continued on their way. Their purpose in separating from the main group was to earn points. Now, killing the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine was also a side quest. Since it was a side quest, it would definitely earn points, so they couldn't miss it.
After walking in the forest for about half an hour, the two finally encountered another Bloodthirsty Vine. With the experience from the previous time, Mo Shuwan and Wen Zuo made ample preparations in advance this time and killed the Bloodthirsty Vine as quickly as possible after discovering it.
Without stopping, they continued in the direction they had decided to go, since their initial goal was to find the group of dinosaurs that had inexplicably gathered together and moved out together, and the bloodthirsty demon vines they encountered on the way were just an accident.
The two walked in the forest for more than two hours, and it was noon when the sun was at its strongest. Finally, they heard the roar of the dinosaurs again.
"Finally found it!" Mo Shuwan breathed a sigh of relief, put the fire-attribute longsword into her storage space, took out her gun and loaded a magazine. Although her marksmanship was still terrible, it was more than enough to deal with the huge dinosaur.
Wen Zuo nudged Mo Shuwan's arm, and only walked in the direction he had just observed when she looked at him. After confirming that Mo Shuwan was following, Wen Zuo thoughtfully pushed aside the surrounding weeds, clearing a path wide enough for one person to pass through without being bothered by the weeds.
The roars of countless dinosaurs mingled together in my ears, making them ring.
Wen Zuo led Mo Shuwan for about three or four minutes before they emerged from the thicket of weeds that were taller than a person. Suddenly, a sheer cliff appeared before them.
Mo Shuwan took two steps forward and immediately spotted dozens of dinosaurs gathered in the distant valley.
