Laughing, the host always wants to escape

"Huh? What happened again?" Tang Cuo stopped and asked in confusion.

[Well... since you won't get into any accidents, why not use this opportunity to let the attacker play the hero and save the damsel in distress?]

Tang Cuo squinted his eyes and looked in the direction he had just come from. "Go on."

[You can pretend to be trapped, so that they will come looking for you after not hearing from you for a long time, and then you will be so tearful that the capturer will be fooled into a fool, right?]

Tangcuo brushed his messy hair, his tone unconsciously rising a little, "Sure, Xiaoye, I didn't expect you to have such a brain?"

[……] I give in. This family will break up without me.

"Okay, then tell me, where is the best place for me to hide?" Tang Cuo took a few steps forward and looked around.

[The system believes that it is safest for the host to hide in a tree...]

"But I can't climb a tree." Tang Cuo was a little annoyed. If he had learned this skill when he was a child, he wouldn't be so struggling now.

[It's okay, host. If you can't climb a tree, you can use a talisman. A climbing talisman costs 20 points. You won't suffer a loss or be cheated. You won't be afraid of being ripped off. It's absolutely fair.]

"Haha." Tang Cuo took a deep breath and chuckled, "Xiao Ye, I followed Jian Rong to this place at all costs, and you only gave me ten points. You asked for twenty. Do you think I'm a fool?"

[But. This is clearly marked in the system.]

"Then change it to 9.9 yuan for free shipping, wait... 90 cents for the points, the system is having trouble calculating, right? Then give you another benefit, erase 9 points, and exchange for a wholehearted new host.

Isn't it worth it? Xiaoye, aren't you worthy of my trust? " Tangcuo's eyes flashed with a gleam.

[It's worth it! I'm worth it! Okay, nine points is nine points.] Ono's voice sounded more exciting than ever.

Tang Cuo curled the corners of his lips, looked at the blue climbing spell in his hand, and murmured softly, "If I can't make it in the future, with my eloquence, I can still be a salesperson."

Tangcuo took a few steps forward, placed the talisman in the palm of his hand, then found a relatively sturdy tree and patted the trunk.

The scenery in front of him changed, and he was already in the middle of the tree trunk. Tangcuo looked down at the ten-meter-high ground, and his legs couldn't help but tremble. Then he squatted down carefully, holding the tree trunk tightly with both hands, "Oh my god, it's so high..."

[Don't be afraid, host, relax.]

"You're talking while standing, but it's so high, if I fall down, I'll die, right?" Tang Cuo's eyes had a few red marks, tears welled up in his eyes unconsciously, "When will my brother Rong arrive?"

[It will be soon. Wait for about two more minutes.]

Tangcuo swallowed, then slowly moved to sit on the tree trunk, raised his head and looked down. Sure enough, a burst of wolf howling instantly penetrated the entire forest and pierced Tangcuo's eardrums.

"Is this a wolf? But aren't wolves social animals?" Tang Cuo was so frightened that even his breathing became weaker.

[Yeah, I didn't say it was just a wolf, I said there were rodents approaching you.]

As the sound of birds flying through the woods was heard, one wolf after another stopped beside the tree where Tangcuo was. They seemed to have smelled a strange scent and had no intention of leaving.

Tangcuo hugged the tree trunk tightly. Although he climbed so high, there should be no danger.

But facing the dozen or so wolves under his feet, Tang Cuo's legs still trembled.

The leader wolf seemed to have discovered Tang Cuo. It raised its head and stared at him, as if it had discovered some delicious food.

"Awoo!" A wolf howled, and more than a dozen wolves around instantly surrounded the tree, and all looked up at Tangcuo's position.

Tang Cuo swallowed, his heart beating so violently that it seemed like it was about to jump out of his throat.

The leader wolf stretched out its sharp front paws and scratched the tree trunk, and the other dozen wolves followed its lead.

"Xiao Ye, are you sure... this is really okay?" Tang Cuo's voice became a little weaker.

[Don't worry, there's no problem.]

Sure enough, after more than ten minutes, the wolves saw that they could not get Tangcuo down from the tree trunk, so they lined up and left.

Seeing the wolves disappear, Tang Cuo finally relaxed: all he had to do next was wait for Jian Rong to come and find him.

On the other side, Jian Rong and his companions heard the wolves howling and quickly climbed up the tree. They waited until the wolves left before coming down.

"So many wolves...it's so scary..." He Xiaolai clutched his clothes tightly, fear spreading in his eyes.

Suddenly, there was a tremor behind the bushes, and several people clenched their daggers in an instant. Jian Rong stared at the bushes like a falcon, ready to attack at any time.

Suddenly, Chu Lin emerged from the bushes and looked at the few people.

When the three saw it was him, they all relaxed.

"Have you seen Tang Cuo?" The next sentence made the three of them stunned in an instant.

"Tang Cuo, didn't he go with you to look for fruit?" He Xiaolai looked at him, "Isn't he with you?"

Hearing his words, Jian Rong's eyebrows unconsciously twisted together.

"After we went in, we went to different places to look for wild fruits. Before we got together, I heard a group of wolves howling." Chu Lin was a little annoyed. If he had known earlier, he would not have separated from him just now.

"What should we do? With such a large group of wolves, will he..." He Xiaolai said worriedly.

"will not."

"will not."

Two voices interrupted him at the same time. Jian Rong took a step forward and looked at the others. "You wait here. I'll go find him."

"I'll go too." Duan Nanxing clenched the dagger, as if wanting to follow.

"No need, I'm alone, you just stay here and look after them." Jian Rong's eyes were cold, and seemed to carry an indescribable pressure.

Duan Nanxing turned his head and looked at the two of them, then patted him on the shoulder and said, "Bring him back."

"Ah."

Jian Rong did not stay for long. He turned around and went into the bushes nearby, looking for Tang Cuo.

At the same time, Tangcuo sat on the tree trunk bored, constantly pinching the leaves above his head.

[Host, please note that the attackers will arrive at the scene in three minutes. Please be prepared to fight.]

"Okay." Hearing the system's prompt, Tang Cuo patted the remaining leaves on his hands, then snuggled up to the tree trunk, with a crimson color quickly creeping up the corners of his eyes.

Its pitiful appearance makes it like a lost pet, making people want to touch and caress it.

[Host, you are entering the play really fast.]

"Shh, don't disturb me, or I'll be exposed." Tang Cuo narrowed his eyes and continued to immerse himself in his own world.

"Tangcuo, Tangcuo." A shout came from below, and then Jian Rong's figure appeared in his sight.
