Ahhhhh, high-altitude survival!

"Sister Lin Yue!" Zhou Zeyang greeted from afar, a smile spreading across his face. "Finally, I see you! Where's Wei Yi? Is she alright?"

"I'm fine! The mosquitoes can't bite me now." Han Weiyi's voice came from inside the mosquito net, which was completely surrounded by mosquitoes. "Who's here? Uncle Dong? Brother Zeyang? Brother Lei?"

"It's your brother Zeyang, don't be afraid, except for Tiantian, we're all here!" Zhou Zeyang said loudly to comfort her.

Thanks to the tireless efforts of the two "man-eating flowers," the density of mosquitoes in the air had decreased significantly. Zhou Zeyang and the others immediately spotted the mosquito net, which was densely covered with mosquitoes. He couldn't help but jokingly say, "Weiyi, I didn't expect you to be able to stay in a single room in this forest. You're truly a lucky girl."

Han Weiyi immediately retorted, "That's right, the ultimate mosquito bite! Do you want to try it too?"

Zhou Zeyang waved his hand with a smile: "No, no, I can't accept that."

After exchanging a few jokes, Zhao Lei looked around, appearing somewhat anxious: "Tian Tian's seat isn't even as far away as mine and Yangzi's yet, why hasn't she arrived yet?"

Zhou Zeyang patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry, it's normal for the girl to walk a little slower. How can she compare to your big frame?"

"No, I have to ask." Zhao Lei lowered his head and started sending messages in the group, but he didn't receive any reply for a long time. Just as Zhao Lei was about to make a video call, Xu Tiantian finally arrived at the woods.

When she arrived, she looked rather pale and her hair was soaked with sweat, making her appear quite disheveled.

"Sweetie!" Upon seeing this, Zhao Lei immediately rushed forward to support her, handing her a bottle of mineral water and asking anxiously, "What's wrong? Did you rush too fast? Why are you so out of breath?"

Xu Tiantian took the water bottle and gulped down several mouthfuls before saying, still shaken, "I... I just saw a black snake eating people."

"A black snake eats people?"

Upon hearing this news, everyone's attention turned to this location, and Han Weiyi couldn't help but let out a small gasp.

Lin Yue was the first to ask, "Where is it? Is it far from here?"

"It's a distance, but not too far." Xu Tiantian took another sip of water to calm herself down before continuing, "I saw this from afar and hid to the side without daring to make a sound. When I saw that the black snake seemed to have finished eating and started to doze off, I quietly took a longer route over here. What about Weiyi? Is she alright? Is everyone okay?"

“We’re all fine,” Zhou Zeyang answered her question quickly, then turned to Lin Yue and asked seriously, “Sister Lin Yue, what do we do next?”

"What do you all think?" Lin Yue looked around and asked for everyone's opinions.

The group looked at each other, and after a moment, they all looked in Xu Tiantian's direction.

Xu Tiantian's eyes still held a hint of fear. She took a deep breath and slowly said, "Although I don't know the exact level of that black snake, its body looks at least as thick as a wooden barrel. I think it's very likely a BOSS-level monster."

Xu Tiantian gulped down a few more mouthfuls of water, straightened up with Zhao Lei's help, and continued in a hurried voice, "Sister Lin Yue, if Wei Yi is alright, I suggest we leave this place as soon as possible. I'm not sure if that black snake has found me or not. If it tracks us down, we'll all be in danger!"

Lin Yue frowned slightly, her expression complex as she remained silent for a moment. Thanks to Han Weiyi, they had just found a place where they could farm a lot of points and obtain life-steal weapons. Now, were they going to leave because of potential dangers?

However, simply ignoring it and gambling that the black snake wouldn't notice their presence wouldn't be in line with Lin Yue's usual style. She thought for a moment, then raised her head and slowly suggested, "What if... we went and killed it ourselves?"

It's important to understand that Lin Yue dared to propose such an idea because she had her own confidence and reliance—the endless army of plants in Plants vs. Zombies! With their help, she had successfully killed wild boars and wiped out wolf packs before. Aside from sustaining some injuries during her first battle against the Lark King, she had won almost every subsequent battle without taking any damage.

Furthermore, both Zhou Zeyang and Zhao Lei are physically imposing and muscular athletes, suggesting they have undergone rigorous physical training. Liang Dong, on the other hand, is a seasoned extreme sports enthusiast, constantly traversing treacherous terrains and pushing the limits of human physical and mental endurance. Lin Yue has encountered such individuals before; they often possess extraordinary reaction speed and adaptability.

All three possess exceptional physical abilities and remarkably high attribute values. In a real fight, none of them should be weak!

"Kill it?"

The others paused for a moment, then repeated it in unison, their voices filled with surprise.

After a few seconds, Zhou Zeyang finally couldn't contain his excitement and clenched his fist before speaking first: "Damn! This points competition is all about accumulating points, right? That black snake should have a lot of points, right?"

Standing to the side, Liang Dong nodded silently, clearly not objecting to the opinion.

Zhao Lei didn't say anything, but a hint of worry showed in his eyes as he stared intently at Xu Tiantian, who was standing to the side, as if trying to catch some clues from her expression.

Xu Tiantian kept her head slightly lowered, her hands unconsciously fidgeting with the hem of her clothes, remaining silent. As time passed, the atmosphere gradually became heavy.

Finally, after a long wait, Xu Tiantian raised her head and met Zhao Lei's gaze. Her lips parted slightly, she hesitated for a moment, and then slowly said, "If... if you all think it's okay to go, then I'll lead the way." She seemed to have used a great deal of strength to say this, and after finishing, she couldn't help but let out a soft breath, her face still showing some hesitation and unease.

Xu Tiantian was truly terrified just now, her heart felt like it was going to jump out of her throat. But now that everyone was gathered together, and Zhao Lei was beside her, her fear gradually dissipated, and her courage slowly returned.

She took a deep breath, straightened her body, forced a smile, and said in a seemingly relaxed manner, "That black snake must be of a high level, its skin must be excellent! If we can skin it, I might be able to make two sets of even better light armor than what we have now! That would give us more protection when we encounter danger in the future!"
