The rope around his hand was loosened little by little. The five-meter height was no less than fifty meters in Su Tang's mind at that moment. It was truly thrilling.

Compared to the eyes, the mouth is a much bigger target. But it is also difficult because the other person can close it at any time!

Next, the ears. Next, the nose...

In short, shoot wherever the skin is fragile and easy to break. Su Tang’s goal is to poison you to death!

But when the order she had planned just reached her ears, the mutant beast's cry suddenly changed.

High and sharp.

The vibrations from the sound were like substance, piercing Su Tang's head. She felt a splitting headache, unbearable, and even her vision went dark.

Damn, is this a sound killer?!

too painful!

No, if this goes on we’re done for!

She gritted her teeth, put away the crossbow, and began to climb up the rope unsteadily.

Go up to the tree, it will be safe for the time being. At this moment, she only had one thought in her mind: I have to survive!

Once again, I realized what human potential is, especially at that moment when you are on the verge of life and death!

When Su Tang hung on the tree branch like a torn bag of flour and slowly returned to normal, she discovered that the mutant beast's cry had stopped...

She propped herself up on her arms and shifted into a sitting position.

When he looked down again, he didn't know which arrow had shot the mutant beast. Anyway, it was now dark purple all over and fell stiffly to the ground. Its vertical distance from Su Tang was only one meter.

My heart is beating rapidly, this is what it means to be afraid.

Su Tang's body softened and he leaned against the tree, feeling like he had no strength left.

However, at this moment, a rhythmic but inappropriate sparse applause suddenly rang out, creating a very strange atmosphere in the forest that had just returned to silence.

Su Tang felt unwell.

Subconsciously, he immediately drew out the crossbow and aimed in the direction of the sound.

The other party immediately raised his hands to show that he had no ill intentions. "I came to pick you up, but it seems I'm late." Yuan Jianyan paused and added sincerely, "Your performance was wonderful!"

Without moving the crossbow, Su Tang looked at the man and said, "I'm late." Are you kidding me? You dare to say that you didn't come here because you are interested in this mutant beast! She snorted in her heart, but her chest was very calm. She didn't expect goodwill. At least, the other party didn't have any bad intentions. For this reason, she didn't say anything or do anything, but quickly gathered her scattered strength again. Now is not the time to relax!

"Thank you for coming." She slowly put away the crossbow, untied the rope, and slid down from the tree.

Glancing at the mutant beast, the purple flesh had already begun to rot, emitting an even more unpleasant smell. Su Tang wrinkled his nose in disdain, walked around it, climbed up the half-dead tree, and took the bag of eggs in his hand.

"What kind of egg is this?"

"Bird eggs."

Indeed, there are many variations in birds, but such a large bird egg is still beyond her imagination. No, the point is, "Is it valuable?"

"It's hard to say. We need professionals to determine whether it is possible to hatch. If it is alive, it should be worth some crystal cores, right?" Yuan Jianyan said uncertainly.

"One last question, why is this egg in that hole?"

Yuan Jianyan was silent for a long time. He couldn't understand why the other party asked such irrelevant questions at this time. The process was not important. What was important was that they let her go alone to lead away the mutant beast. Although they also planned to send someone to the south to meet them, in fact, everyone thought that this was just a matter of trying to figure out the situation. No one thought that she could survive.

The reason why he took the initiative to take on the task of receiving the call was just to see the situation and whether there was a chance to confirm whether she was the maker of the crossbow, so as to determine whether she was worth his effort. Therefore, he had not spoken a word even though he had already come to this place.

But he never expected that he would see such a wonderful battle scene of the weak defeating the strong.

Although she was not very strong, this girl was very good at using her brain and weapons. And the arrow poison that could make the mutant beast rot in such a short time was really rare...

Since he chose to show up at this time, he already had the intention to make friends with her and make up for what happened before. As long as she brought it up, he believed that there would be a very happy ending.

But she didn't mention it.

Not a word.

He explained with mixed feelings, "It was buried outside the cave during the last exploration."

"What time?"

"Four days ago."

"Four days..." Su Tang looked at the bag in his hand with regret. The bird eggs had been buried in the soil for so long, they probably wouldn't last. Alas, I thought I could keep them for myself and increase my income, but it seems that it's all gone.

She heaved a sigh of relief and prepared to go down and find a place to bury it. Suddenly, she felt a tiny vibration in her palm, really small, like someone scratching her gently. A few seconds later, there was another vibration, and then a dense "crackling" sound began to come from the bag.

Su Tang felt the changes in her hands, and she opened the bag in amazement. A yellow furry little head poked out tremblingly, with a pointed and slightly curved little mouth, bean-like little eyes, and then, two small fleshy wings on its back... It rubbed against her hands, making soft chirping sounds, and tilted its head slightly with grievance...

Good, so cute...Su Tang was killed instantly, how could there be such a cute creature? !

She carefully picked up the cute little creature, which looked a bit like a chicken in terms of head and body, but the wings on its back proved that it was indeed a bird, and then she slipped down the tree.

Su Tang, who had already decided that he had a new pet, was in a good mood and asked with a smile, "Shall we go back to the car now?"

Yuan Jianyan, who was not good at speaking, was holding back all the words in his heart, and he was really indigestion. But seeing the smiling face with joy in his eyes, he could only sigh and reluctantly uttered a word, "Okay." However, it seemed that he had not seen such a happy smile for a long time, which reminded him of the short and dreamlike years before the end of the world when he was very young... That was probably the only softness he retained in his increasingly cold and hard life.

On the way back, Yuan Jianyan remained silent until he was about to leave the woods. Then he slowed down his pace and said after thinking for a moment, "Don't mention the matter of the mutant beast and the bird. I will explain it to you."

Su Tang was stunned.

A warmth slowly surged into my chest. Although it was very, very weak, it was actually kindness!

Is this an attempt to protect her?

What a surprise!

To be honest, although she did not have more negative emotions towards Yuan Jianyan, Ma Sijiang and others, she did not have any favorable impressions. Even if being able to easily abandon other people's lives in exchange for one's own benefits has become the mainstream of this world, she believes that she will become a non-mainstream faction.

Different road non-phase plan.

She was getting along with him with the idea that this was a one-time deal and she would try not to have any contact with him in the future.

I didn't expect the man in front of me to suddenly change his mindset.

She nodded.

In any case, this is a good thing.

We returned to the gathering place smoothly, and Yuan Jianyan really kept his promise.

When the members of the hunting team looked at the two people in amazement, of course, their eyes were mainly focused on Su Tang. When they finally couldn't help but stepped forward to inquire about the process, Yuan Jianyan didn't even say a word, but just maintained a paralyzed expression and a look that was even colder than usual, and he was already invincible!

The busybodies retreated.

At this time, Ma Sijiang came over.

He smiled widely, looking very excited and relieved. "You are safe, that's great! I was just planning to send someone to pick you up..."

Su Tang blinked and looked at Yuan Jianyan. Don’t you need me to speak at this time?

The answer was undoubtedly affirmative. At his silent signal, Ma Sijiang quickly stopped his hypocritical politeness, turned around and sent everyone to wait in the car, ready to set off, while he and Yuan Jianyan were left outside alone.

Following everyone into the car, Su Tang was patted hard on the back by Nan Hong. Receiving some kindness and warmth from her, she returned a genuine smile.

But, I still feel a little uneasy.

She reached out and gently stroked the cute little bird in the large pocket of her combat uniform. The little bird was silent and obedient. She really wanted to know what the two people outside were talking about!
