Chapter 755 Challenge Dungeon 11
The poisonous miasma, bloodthirsty mosquitoes, and poisonous caterpillars that were difficult to see with the naked eye in the forest would all slide down or go around her as soon as they got within an inch of her body, as if they had hit an invisible wall.
She walked with a leisurely pace, as if she were not exploring a perilous primeval jungle, but taking a stroll in her own backyard, slowly making her way towards the chosen cave in the northwest direction.
They hadn't gone far when they heard sounds of fighting and energy fluctuations ahead.
Five players, three men and two women, are working together to deal with a swarm of enraged, giant poisonous bees that are half a person's height.
The five of them worked together seamlessly, with complementary skills, clearly indicating that they were not a hastily assembled team.
The leader, a burly man wielding a shield, possessed incredible defense; a woman with a longbow was unerring in her arrows; and the other three were responsible for close-quarters combat and area-of-effect attacks.
The battle ended quickly, and the giant poisonous bee corpses littered the ground. The five of them tidied themselves up briefly, and their gazes naturally fell on Yun Chu, who happened to be passing by.
A look of amazement flashed across the eyes of all five people simultaneously.
Even seasoned players who have seen it all rarely encounter such a calm and stunningly beautiful woman at the start of a perilous dungeon.
Her beauty was so striking that it made people momentarily forget the harshness of the environment.
"My friend, all alone?" Wen Shuo put away his shield, his voice deep and his gaze open, revealing only pure appreciation and a hint of surprise at the lone traveler.
Huang Yan, who was standing next to him, and his two male teammates, Tang Yufeng and Zhao Lin, nodded in agreement, their eyes clear and devoid of any lewd intent.
"Hmm." Yun Chu responded lightly, without stopping.
"The Misty Forest is fraught with danger, and traveling alone is extremely risky. We are a team from the 'Golden Eagle Guild,' and we entered together using special binding items, so we are quite experienced."
Wen Shuo extended an invitation, speaking sincerely, "If you don't have a fixed team for the time being, you can consider joining us so you can look out for each other."
"You seem... not too afraid of these poisonous insects?" He noticed that Yun Chu was unusually "clean," without even a mosquito.
Yun Chu paused slightly and glanced back at them.
According to the Fire Iron Flying Ant's observation, the five people's performance in the battle just now was indeed remarkable. They had good discipline and their eyesight was also good.
Before figuring out more of the dungeon's mechanics, having an experienced team to cover for her would definitely save her a lot of trouble and make it easier for her to observe other players, especially... Xia Wanqi.
"Okay," she said succinctly.
Wen Shuo and the others smiled, clearly pleased to have invited such a "not simple" teammate.
They quickly introduced themselves to each other, and Yun Chu said that she had reconnaissance skills.
After adjusting their formation, they positioned Yun Chu in a relatively safe middle-rear position and continued to advance in the direction they had originally planned to explore.
With the "Golden Eagle" team clearing the way, Yun Chu had an easier time.
Based on the warnings sent by the Fire Iron Flying Ants, Yun Chu gave them a brief reminder and led them to avoid many dangers.
As dusk fell, the light in the forest grew increasingly dim. The team found a relatively open clearing with its back against a giant rock and prepared to set up camp for the night.
Shortly after they settled in, another team of seven arrived in the vicinity from another direction.
This team was clearly hastily assembled after entering the dungeon; the members lacked chemistry, displayed varying expressions, and showed obvious wariness and fatigue.
The two teams kept a distance from each other, maintaining basic vigilance, but no conflict occurred, and each chose an area to rest.
However, Yun Chu keenly noticed that among the seven-person team, there were two tall male players with shifty eyes, their gazes like sticky, poisonous insects.
He scanned her body repeatedly, lingering particularly on her curvaceous figure, making no attempt to conceal his greed and lust.
They exchanged a few words in hushed tones, emitting lewd laughter, their eyes growing even more malevolent.
Yun Chu's eyes turned slightly cold, but her expression remained unchanged. She secretly had one of her fire iron flying ants keep a close eye on the two of them.
In the dead of night, the forest was completely shrouded in darkness and thick fog, with only the crackling of the campfire and its faint glow.
The "Golden Eagle" team arranged for them to take turns on night watch, and Yun Chu was given special consideration and was assigned to a relatively safe time slot.
However, just when everyone was most tired in the early morning, something unexpected happened!
Huang Jun used a paralysis skill to paralyze Yun Chu and the others who were resting.
At the same time, Fang Wenjie pounced on Yun Chu's tent with incredible speed, like a tiger unleashed from its cage! His goal was to kidnap her!
Yun Chu had already sensed it, but deliberately did not resist immediately.
She wanted to know what these two were up to, and also... to find a secluded spot away from the camp to dispose of the trash, so as not to alert the "Golden Eagle" team and expose more of their strength.
She let Fang Wenjie roughly carry her on his shoulder and quickly disappear into the dark depths of the jungle.
Fire iron flying ants followed closely behind like ghosts.
About a mile from the camp, behind a rock crevice partially hidden by vines, Fang Wenjie threw Yun Chu on the ground and met up with Huang Jun, who was already waiting there.
"Haha, got her! This little chick is fucking gorgeous! I've never had such a top-quality one in a dungeon!" Huang Jun rubbed his hands together, grinning lewdly, and couldn't wait to start unbuckling his belt.
Fang Wenjie cautiously surveyed his surroundings, making sure no one was following him, and then revealed a lewd smile: "What's the rush? Let her wake up first, then it'll be more fun. This paralysis skill will wear off soon."
The two surrounded her, hurling insults and reaching out to tear at Yun Chu's clothes.
A cold glint flashed in Yun Chu's eyes, and she was about to command the Fire Iron Flying Ants to instantly turn the two vermin into pus and blood—
Changes occur again!
A black shadow, moving at incredible speed and almost blending into the night, flashed out from the shadows behind the two like a ghost!
puff!puff!
Two very faint, muffled thuds, like sharp blades piercing flesh.
The lewd smiles on Huang Jun and Fang Wenjie's faces froze instantly, their eyes widening in disbelief and horror.
A thin red line, as fine as a hair, appeared on each of their throats. Blood gushed out, their bodies went limp, and they twitched twice before falling silent.
The shadowy figure landed, revealing its form.
It was a man. He looked to be in his late twenties, with a tall and straight figure, wearing a well-fitting dark combat uniform that accentuated his lean and muscular physique.
His face was somewhat blurred in the flickering forest light, but his eyes were exceptionally clear—deep, dark, as if they could absorb all the light around them, carrying a calm that saw through everything, and a hint of…playfulness.
Xie Yipei's gaze fell on Yun Chu's face, sweeping from her slightly messy hair, across her calm and even slightly cold eyes, and finally settling on her rosy lips.
A subtle smile slowly curved the corners of his mouth.
"A newcomer?" His voice was deep, with a unique magnetism, exceptionally clear in the silent forest. "What's your name?"
Yun Chu stood up from the ground, patted off non-existent dust from her body, and remained composed, as if she were not the one who had just been kidnapped and nearly humiliated.
She looked at Xie Yipei with a calm expression: "Bai Yunchu. Thank you." Her tone of gratitude was flat, lacking sincerity, and sounded more like a perfunctory gesture.
