How could someone as well-behaved as Sister Yue possibly be a playboy?

Just then, he also felt waves of drowsiness wash over him.

"Oh no, I'm sleepy too..."

Just after he finished speaking, a familiar tremor came from the ground.

The group exchanged glances, a sense of urgency rising in their hearts. They immediately stepped forward to wake the two of them. Learning from Fang Zhiming's experience, they all tacitly avoided the flower petals.

"Quick, let's go!" Feng Zhong shouted.

Fang Zhiming, whose sleepiness was dampened by a few flower petals, was somewhat jolted back to his senses by the voice. He slapped himself hard and shouted in Du Guang's ear at the same time:

"Wake up, don't sleep anymore."

"Huh? Hmm?" Du Guang woke up with a start, his eyes still blurry with sleep.

"Senior brother, the beast tide is coming! It's right behind you!" Ye Yueyue shouted.

Du Guang immediately sprang to his feet and ran away.

The group quickly ran into the forest.

Ye Yueyue had a vague guess in her mind, but she hadn't confirmed it yet, so after entering the forest, she deliberately kept a distance from her two senior brothers who had petals on their hands.

They ran in different directions.

Upon seeing this, a glint flashed in Feng Zhong's eyes. He paused, then followed Ye Yueyue in the same direction.

Others did not notice these details.

Du Guang's drowsiness dissipated somewhat after the arrival of the beast tide. On the verge of life and death, everything seemed meaningless. He pinched his thigh as he ran into the forest without stopping, and climbed up a tree with a light touch of his toes.

After the monsters ran in, they headed straight for Du Guang. Even the tall trees couldn't stop them. Their scarlet gazes seemed to pierce through the branches. Du Guang felt a chill run down his spine as he was stared at by their fierce eyes. He climbed up a little more, and due to his drowsiness, he moved so hastily that he almost lost his balance.

He slid down two steps and couldn't help but scream, "No! Waaah!"

This time, even more monsters entered, roughly a hundred at a glance, all howling at Du Guangfang and Zhiming, leaping around incessantly.

Du Guang, with a mournful face, clung tightly to the tree, trying to fight off the waves of sleepiness that were washing over him.

Fang Zhiming, who was standing to the side, was in a slightly better situation than him, but there were still too many monsters, and he was also feeling uneasy.

Looking down, I saw a dense crowd of eyes, filled with menacing gazes.

Suddenly, a monster leaped up and almost jumped onto the tree trunk, but luckily it lost its footing and fell down.

Du Guang's heart skipped a beat, and he cried out again, "No! Please, fellow monster brothers, spare me!"

At this moment, he completely forgot about the jade pendant. He continued to climb upwards while wailing and crying, afraid that he might accidentally fall. Du Guang moved very slowly.

Lu Xing stared solemnly at the horde of beasts, pondering how to break through. The three of them were in the same direction.

Suddenly, his gaze swept over Ye Yueyue and Feng Zhong, and he noticed that there were no demonic beasts under their tree. A flash of inspiration struck him, as if something was about to emerge.

But he didn't grasp that inspiration, and a look of confusion crossed his eyes.

Why?

What exactly attracts the monsters?

Upon receiving the answer, Ye Yueyue's furrowed brows finally relaxed, and a look of joy flashed in her eyes. She felt confident that she could pass this test.

After waiting in place for a while, no more monsters came in.

Ye Yueyue glanced at Feng Zhong, "Senior brother, let's go!"

Feng Zhong nodded.

The two jumped down from the tree and then used their spiritual power to kill the three people surrounded by the beasts.

The three of them stood there stunned for a moment, then joined in.

As the monsters were eliminated one by one and their numbers decreased, Du Guang and his two companions were able to come down. With their combined efforts, nearly a hundred monsters were all wiped out in less than an incense stick's time.

Du Guang, now out of danger, sat down heavily on the ground. He patted his chest, still shaken, and his eyes showed fear: "I was so scared! I thought I was going to fall."

Fang Zhiming nodded in agreement.

Lu Xing, who was standing to the side, did not speak. His questioning gaze swept back and forth between Ye Yueyue and Feng Zhong.

Why don't they attract monsters?

"This tree is really causing a lot of harm."

Upon hearing Du Guang's words, he finally grasped the key to understanding: that's it, the tree!

Everything that seemed amiss began to show signs of trouble, and following this line of thought, the answers to those bizarre events became clear.

Why do the monsters only chase them and not Sister Yue? Why are they drowsy?

All the doubts were answered by that tree.

"Brothers, I've found a way to beat the game!"

Suddenly, a clear, crisp voice interrupted Lu Xing's thoughts.

He looked up and saw the girl confidently raising her chin, a slight smile playing on her lips, looking like she was trying to pique his interest.

"Really? Didn't they say we had to kill a thousand monsters to clear this round?" Du Guang asked in surprise.

“Yes, kill a thousand, no, to be precise, it should be less than nine hundred.” Ye Yueyue nodded, holding the jade token as she turned to them.

It says 109/1000

Du Guang was silent for a moment, his eyes filled with disbelief. Seeing the girl's confident expression, he didn't want to discourage his junior sister Yue.

After a moment of hesitation, Du Guang uttered a few dry words, "Just the five of us?"

"Yes, it's just the few of us." Ye Yueyue's face showed a confident expression.

Du Guang still didn't believe it when he heard this, and even began to suspect that his junior sister Yue might have also fallen under the spell of that tree and lost her mind, which was why she said such a thing.

Just like he just got infected.

It can make him unconscious, and it might have other uses as well.

Although Fang Zhiming didn't speak, there was also a look of suspicion in his eyes. He couldn't believe that just the five of them could face a beast tide and kill nine hundred of them.

They are always on the defensive, and when they encounter a beast tide, they just run away in a panic. How can Junior Sister Yue be so sure that they can clear the level?

Fang Zhiming felt that their ability to kill a hundred monsters was just good luck. What if they were unlucky next time and all the monsters rushed in? Or what if there were only a few scattered ones? Although he didn't know why they attracted monsters, he still felt that clearing the level in three days was unrealistic.

How could they possibly achieve the goal of killing nine hundred under such passive circumstances?

It’s simply a fantasy.

He didn't believe they could pass the level, and even after learning the conditions for passing, he was already convinced they would lose. But Fang Zhiming didn't want to discourage everyone, so he remained silent.

Seeing that her two senior brothers remained silent and looked unconvinced, Ye Yueyue snorted and asked Feng Zhong, who was standing to the side, "Senior brother, don't you think so?"

Feng Zhong nodded calmly, "You can pass the level."

Upon hearing this, Du Guang jumped up, looking astonished. "Junior Sister Yue is trying to make us happy, Senior Brother, why are you joining in this nonsense?"

Seeing that Feng Zhong's words had no effect, Ye Yueyue couldn't help but laugh. When his gaze fell on her, she coughed lightly, feigning seriousness, and stopped keeping him in suspense:

"That tree helps people fall asleep, right?"

All the senior brothers except Feng Zhong nodded.
