Dusk had fallen, and the wind whimpered through the forest. The coldness that had seemed vibrant with life during the day now grew even deeper and more secluded, as if it had been steeped in twilight until it lost its boundaries. The once clear outlines of branches and leaves gradually dissolved into the thick, ink-like shadows, making the forest appear even more eerie and mysterious."Let's rest for a bit and eat something."Qin Tian suggested proactively.Upon hearing this, the three people beside him were delighted; they had long wanted to stop and rest.To be honest, traversing this forest initially felt quite interesting, with novelty everywhere, but as time went on, one would gradually feel loneliness and depression, easily entering a state of exhaustion."Come, come, let me share my favorite snacks with you."Xiao Pang pulled out a handful of long, strip-shaped snacks from his backpack and handed them out to each person."Thank you."Qin Tian took the snack and said casually.Huang Xiaojia tore open the snack bag and ate in small bites, secretly glancing at Qin Tian out of the corner of her eye.After spending time together on this journey, they discovered that Qin Tian was not as cold and indifferent as they had imagined. Although he didn't talk much, he would answer whatever they asked.Not only that, but when encountering complex and dangerous environments, Qin Tian would always silently walk at the very front, clearing a safe path for the three of them.The three of them were not fools; they could all see Qin Tian's outwardly cold but inwardly warm personality, and interacting with him was no longer as cautious as it had been initially.Crunch, crunch.Xiao Pang chewed on the crispy snack and said,"It's a pity we can't make a fire in the forest, otherwise I'd definitely show you my barbecue skills. They're absolutely amazing.""Your snacks are pretty good."Huang Xiaojia praised, "They're tastier than what I brought.""Of course."Xiao Pang smiled proudly, "When it comes to eating, I'm definitely an expert."Buzz~~The sound of mosquitoes buzzing their wings came from their ears.Xiong Gang irritably waved his hand, wanting to shoo away the large mosquito next to him. However, the mosquito seemed to cling to him, constantly flying around him.Finally, Xiong Gang got so angry that he stood up directly, wanting to swat the mosquito dead. Who would have thought that this mosquito was surprisingly agile? Even with Xiong Gang's 2nd-tier, 1-star strength, he still couldn't touch it.Qin Tian looked at it strangely. It was inevitable to encounter various insects in the forest, but they could scare these insects away by simply mobilizing a little Spiritual Energy User aura.But this mosquito in front of him was surprisingly difficult to deal with; he couldn't shoo it away, nor could he touch it.Could it be that this was also a spirit beast?Xiao Pang and Huang Xiaojia also noticed this mosquito.Xiao Pang stood up, squinted his eyes for a closer look, and his expression suddenly changed."Oh my, this is a Bloodthirsty Mosquito, Big Bear, are you bleeding?""Bleeding?"Xiong Gang rolled up his sleeve; there was no bleeding on his arm. He then lifted his shirt, and everyone saw a very subtle abrasion on his back."Indeed."Xiao Pang said seriously, "Bloodthirsty Mosquitoes are a very terrifying creature in the forest. They have an extremely keen perception of fresh blood, and when they appear, it's often tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands. They can suck a giant elephant dry of blood in a short amount of time. Also, don't think that just because you're a Spiritual Energy User you can fight against Bloodthirsty Mosquitoes. You might be able to handle ten or eight, or even one or two hundred, but when tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of Bloodthirsty Mosquitoes appear, let alone us, even a Fourth-tier Spiritual Energy User can only flee in terror.""The appearance of this Bloodthirsty Mosquito indicates that there must be more Bloodthirsty Mosquitoes nearby. We must leave quickly; we absolutely cannot let the Bloodthirsty Mosquito army find us."After Xiao Pang finished speaking, an image appeared in everyone's mind.Swarms of Bloodthirsty Mosquitoes, like a black cloud, flew over, covering the sky and obscuring the sun, enveloping living beings into black balls, and a few seconds later, leaving behind a corpse that was nothing but dry bones.Hiss~The few of them gasped, their scalps tingling."Let's go, let's go quickly."Xiong Gang, who was usually bold, was now afraid and urged them anxiously, his voice carrying a subtle tremor."Wait a moment, deal with your wound before we go."Xiao Pang took out a black medicinal patch from his backpack, tore open the packaging, and slapped it onto the abrasion on Xiong Gang's back, quickly saying,"Zhu Family's secret medicine, specially for bruises and sprains. Five hundred per patch, no deception, welcome everyone to order from me.""You really can't forget to promote your family wherever you are."Xiong Gang couldn't help but roll his eyes. Zhu Tianyou, this Xiao Pangzi (Little Fatty), didn't train very seriously in martial arts class, but as soon as anyone in the class got injured, he would immediately go up and promote his family's ointment.But you have to admit, this ointment was indeed very effective. Many classmates in the class became his long-term customers, and many even recommended it to their families, allowing Xiao Pang's family to gain more orders."A businessman must promote himself at all times."Xiao Pang pulled down Xiong Gang's shirt and smiled, "Alright, your abrasion will recover in half an hour at most, guaranteed no scars.""I don't care about scars, let's go quickly."Xiong Gang waved his hand vigorously, but still couldn't get rid of that annoying Bloodthirsty Mosquito.Just then, Qin Tian suddenly fanned the air in front of the Bloodthirsty Mosquito. The next moment, the Bloodthirsty Mosquito seemed drunk, swaying unsteadily, and finally fell to the ground.Xiong Gang's eyes widened, and he asked in surprise, "Qin... Tian Ge, how did you do that?"Qin Tian's eyes moved, and he said,"Just a small trick."He had used poison just now, releasing a small amount of toxin and blowing it towards the Bloodthirsty Mosquito. This toxin was colorless, and if the dosage was small, the smell was not obvious.The Bloodthirsty Mosquito clearly couldn't withstand the erosion of the poisonous gas and died from poisoning within a few seconds.Unfortunately, these small mosquitoes were too weak to provide either talent or evolution points.A small trick.The three knew this was Qin Tian's secret and did not press further."Let's go, let's find a more distant place to rest."Qin Tian put on his backpack and quickly led the three away.An hour later, the few found a relatively dry place. It was now nighttime, and the forest was dim and lightless, so dark that they couldn't see their hands in front of their faces.The wind howled, making a wailing sound, as if ghosts were crying.The three young people huddled tightly together, all regretting participating in this mission."Tian Ge, Tian Ge, are you still there?"Xiao Pangzi (Little Fatty) swallowed, feeling his way in the dark and asking in a low voice."I am."From a few meters away, Qin Tian's calm voice came."Rest. I'll keep watch tonight."When they heard Qin Tian's voice, for some reason, the three inexplicably felt a sense of security, and their originally tense mood gradually eased considerably."Tian Ge, then we'll trouble you tonight."Xiao Pang spread a blanket on the ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) ground. The few lay together, and the day's fatigue quickly erupted once they lay down. They fell into a deep sleep before they had even chatted for long, with Xiao Pangzi (Little Fatty) even snoring lightly.Qin Tian sat on the ground, his back against a tree trunk. As night fell, he felt as if he was in his element. This was the Shadow Muscle and Bones at work; in the darkness, all of his abilities would be enhanced.Hoo~ Hoo~The three fell into a deep sleep, emitting steady breaths. Xiao Pangzi (Little Fatty) even snored slightly.Qin Tian took out the purple ink mandala from his Space Sack, plucked a petal, put it in his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it.
