It is often said in martial arts novels that "Don't enter the forest", and there is some truth to this.

There are not only tall trees in the forest, but also dense bushes and weeds, which makes it easy to be ambushed. However, the enemies in the novel are human, but in the end times, they are much more terrifying.

The forest is a gathering place for mutated plants.

Of course, not all mutant plants are aggressive. Some may just be poisonous or have a strange smell. As long as you don't touch them, you won't be harmed. How to distinguish them depends on experience. To deal with aggressive ones, you need strength.

In the eyes of everyone, Su Tang could be said to have neither and was placed in the middle of the team.

In response, she could only sigh secretly, and then mobilized all her senses to follow the footsteps of the people in front of her, observing which plants they avoided, which ones they didn't care about, and which ones they needed to attack first.

Everyone was walking smoothly when Lai Yuxing in front suddenly grabbed Yan Gang's arm, which was chopping branches with a knife, and quickly gestured to stop.

In just a few seconds, eight black shadows appeared from the trees on both sides and swooped towards them!

Su Tang's eyes blurred and screams rang out. Meng Huo, who had the fastest reaction, had already taken action to deal with one of them, while the others quickly dispersed and took on the opponent's attacks.

Only then did she see clearly that although the attacker looked like a human, it was actually a monkey!

Compared to normal monkeys, they were larger, almost reaching the men's chests. What surprised her most was that their claws had long nails, shining with black light, not only sharp, but also curved at the front, making them natural weapons!

After a moment of hesitation, she immediately raised the crossbow and pulled the trigger at the monkey that was grabbing Lai Yuxing.

Among the five people, except Meng Huo, the others are fourth-level psychics.

Wang Ming's electric power is very powerful. He used both hands to attack the monkeys. Before the two monkeys could get close, they were blocked by the sizzling electric current he emitted. Yan Gang took a close combat approach. His power was an enhanced power among the primitive powers. His whole body was invulnerable to swords and guns. In addition, he was naturally strong, so it was not difficult for him to deal with a monkey with a big knife. Yue Hongfang was a psychic power user. His situation against the enemy was very subtle. While others were performing action movies, he looked at the monkey "affectionately", making the other party put down its claws and bow its head. However, the most special one among them was Meng Huo. Su Tang guessed that he should be at least level five, but his power could not be seen at all. When he waved his arm, a white light flashed, and then forced the two monkeys to retreat again and again.

Excluding Su Tang, the weakest among them is Lai Yuxing.

It had nothing to do with his level, but he was a primitive superpower, but his hearing was more suitable for exploring. Although he was quite skilled, flexible, and the knife in his hand swung loudly, he was not that strong after all, and could not resist the monkey's claws in terms of strength, so it was quite thrilling.

But this situation soon changed!

The crossbow arrow with the sound of wind shot straight at the monkey's head. It was alert and would rather give up attacking Lai Yuxing and just missed the shot.

Taking advantage of its retreat, Lai Yuxing seized the opportunity, rushed forward, and slashed at its throat with a knife.

The monkey roared angrily and blocked it with his claws. There was a metallic friction sound during the collision.

On the other side, Su Tang turned behind it in the blink of an eye and shot the crossbow arrow again! A muffled sound of arrows entering the flesh was heard, and only half of the arrow tail was left on the monkey's neck.

After just a few seconds, Lai Yuxing discovered that the monkey had stopped pouncing on him.

It collapsed to the ground, its limbs twitching. Although it was not dead yet, it could only make weak whimpers...

As he went forward to finish off the enemy, he couldn't help but look forward, only to find that Su Tang had already quickly rushed towards Wang Ming's direction. He also ran towards Yan Gang with a small smile on his face. Su Tang felt a warm current flowing into his chest, and he became even more excited.

Although she can't be the main attacker at the moment, it's a good thing that she can assist. At least, even if she is with a higher-level psychic than her, she doesn't think that she will be a burden to others!

Soon, the sounds of monkeys falling to the ground were heard one after another, and the monkeys were successfully dealt with one by one.

Among the eight monkeys, three of them lost their resistance and died after being shot by Su Tang's crossbow arrows. Everyone was not surprised.

After splitting the monkey's head open and picking out the crystal core with a knife and putting it into the bag, Wang Ming came over happily and patted her on the shoulder. "Not bad! You are indeed a speedster. You are very fast and your arrows are accurate! By the way, did you put poison on the arrows?"

Su Tang smiled and nodded, taking the time to look at the others.

Only then did he realize that not all mutant animals had crystal cores. For example, now, only Wang Ming, Yue Hongfang, and Meng Huo each got one. Although judging from the size of the crystal core, it should be level three, but the proportion is really low!

The harvested crystal cores were all placed with Yue Hongfang and would be distributed after the hunt was over. This battle was just a minor episode, so Meng Huo gave an order and everyone prepared to set off again.

Su Tang put away the recovered crossbow arrows, glanced at the corpses of the monkeys around him, and his eyes fell on their claws. He was itching to do it, "Mr. Meng, can you wait for me?"

Meng Huo paused, and although he was confused, he nodded slightly.

Su Tang borrowed Yan Gang's big knife, walked around quickly, and collected the claws that she couldn't let go of.

"What do you want this thing for?" Yan Gang wondered after he put away the knife.

Seeing the confusion on everyone's faces, she said implicitly, "I want to take it back and study it."

Meng Huo's eyes flickered, and he immediately guessed the direction of the so-called "research". What else could it be besides weapons? Although he knew that she should be able to make more than just bows and crossbows, he always thought that she was just inheriting the experience of her predecessors. Now he found that even so, she did not limit herself to this scope.

This realization made him happy.

Continuing on the road, although Su Tang was still arranged in the middle, she vaguely noticed that the relationship with the others had changed subtly. Because they had experienced the battle together, she felt a little integrated into their group. Sure enough, "those who have fought together" are different, right? Thinking of the origin of this sentence, she couldn't help but laugh secretly.

The rest of the hunt went smoothly.

The deeper you go, the more likely you will be attacked. Fortunately, Yan Gang and Lai Yuxing, who usually lead the way, can handle it, and at most Wang Ming can add some.

Although Su Tang has no place to use his skills, his brain is constantly working and he has a lot to learn!

A slightly special thing was that they encountered a carnivorous flower that smelt a strange fragrance that put the smeller into a trance to lure prey. However, Yue Hongfang was very experienced and asked everyone to apply potion under their noses in advance, so no harm was caused. Instead, under his command, Yan Gang cut off the huge flower bud with a few knives and collected a bottle of liquid from the flower stem. It is said that this thing is the source of the carnivorous flower's ability, and it is very expensive when put on the market.

In addition, encountering small mutant animals with weaker attack power, in addition to obtaining first-order or second-order crystal cores, also solved the problem of lunch and dinner.

That night, they slept in the forest.

The burning fire crackled, and Su Tang ate barbecue while listening to a few men talking.

"There are fewer mutant animals here." Yes, except for those monkeys, there are no mutants above level three. There must be something wrong!"

"Have you never heard the saying? When there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey becomes king!"

"Go, stop kidding. I checked, and most of them should be heading in the direction of the valley."

"Is there something strange going on there?"

"Probably!"

Everyone was a little excited after reaching this conclusion, including Su Tang. Animals are the most sensitive, and it must be a good thing that so many mutant beasts gathered together.

Meng Huo wiped his hands and looked at them, "Don't be too happy too soon. When you get to the valley, you will act according to circumstances. Don't lose your life because of greed."

"Yes." Several people were secretly awed. Everyone wants to get involved in good things, but if their lives are endangered, it will not be worth it.

Su Tang blinked. This man was really calm and was not affected by the atmosphere at all.

Along the way, he was always the calmest one.

The boss told her before that the reason why the city lord passed the throne to Meng Xiang was because he was stronger than Meng Huo, with a sixth-level wind ability. Even in the entire Dead City, there was no one among the younger generation who could match him. But according to her observation today, Meng Huo might not be inferior. His strength was obviously much higher than that of Wang Ming and his friends who were at the fourth level. And according to what the boss said, he was a primitive ability user, but what were those white lights? It looked like it was more lethal than wind blades or something!

Most importantly, his personality makes him more suitable to be a leader than Meng Xiang, right?!

I really can’t understand it.

She was in a daze until everyone except Lai and Xing, who were on night watch, was ready to go to bed. Then she came to her senses and went into the tent.

She slept well in the first half of the night, but was awakened by the sound of birds in the second half, so she started meditating. This method can also increase the energy in the body. Although it is not as fast as the crystal core, it accumulates little by little, so she never slacks off.

Furthermore, after entering the third level, she could already feel the purpose of the energy in her chest that was condensed from goodwill.

The jade pendant mark is like a container. When the energy inside is full, it will be emptied, and the only outlet is her own body. Those energies are different from the original powers in the body. They are not used to release them, but mainly focus on transformation. It is like a kind of tempering, making her body more resilient. And it is not like Yan Gang's superficial invulnerability. Her healing ability has been improved.

She had discovered this when she was making the device before.

In her previous life, the abrasions or cuts on her hands would take a week to heal completely, but now, it only takes her one day.

This is also one of the reasons why she is very happy when she receives kindness.

Tomorrow, we must continue to work hard!

Whether it's increasing experience or collecting goodwill.
