Chapter 271

"Thief of the car, give me back my medicine!!"

A lithe woman suddenly rushed out of the house, her tone fierce!

The shopping cart shuddered in fright and immediately hid behind Song Yu.

"I'm sorry, but I must have drunk your potion."

"But I have nothing to do with it."

Song Yu explained and emphasized.

"You drank it?"

The woman who rushed out had a strange expression on her face and looked Song Yu up and down.

She hadn't noticed Song Yu before, but now that she saw Song Yu, she was immediately drawn to the big red flower on her head.

"Ah... I failed again as expected."

Looking at the big red flower on Song Yu's head, the woman sighed deeply.

"It's alright, sister. You can definitely succeed!"

The indigenous child encouraged them.

"You came because of this flower, right?"

"Yes, I was accidentally poisoned in the forest before, and I happened to run into it. There was an antidote in its shopping cart, so in a hurry, I had no choice but to drink the antidote first."

Song Yu explained once again that the indigenous person in front of him seemed to have considerable medical expertise and appeared to be a pure research talent.

There's no harm in building good relationships.

"You must be players from outside. Only you guys are so bold as to drink whatever appears in the forest."

The woman said it as if it were commonplace.

“I am Mountain Bone, and this is the Mossheart Clan.”

She gestured for Song Yu to follow her, and Song Yu decisively dropped the shopping cart and left with the woman.

The shopping cart tried to follow, but was stopped by the other Indigenous residents who were eyeing it covetously.

"You little thief, you stole our things and you think you can get away with it?"

The indigenous people were eager to get started, their shopping carts trembling with excitement.

But all of this has nothing to do with Song Yu.

"Do you know where this is?"

Shan Gu walked ahead and asked Song Yu.

These outsiders are always fearless because they don't know anything.

"Plant Frenzy Dungeon"

Song Yu looked around at the surroundings; the houses here looked quite new.

Is it newly built?
"No, this is the Dark Forest."

Shan Gu shook his head. Sure enough, this player was unaware of the power of this world.

"This world is a vast forest, boundless and limitless."

"So far, we still don't know where it ends; we only know that countless dangers lurk within the forest."

"That's true for you, and it's true for us too."

"Nighttime is the most dangerous time in the forest, when all the dangers that are invisible during the day will be revealed."

"Toxins are one of them."

Shan Gu led Song Yu to a plantation filled with all sorts of herbs.

"The antidote you drank was my latest research, but it still has problems."

Shan Gu pointed to the big red flower on Song Yu's head.

"It glows at night, which will attract many dangerous creatures."

Not only does it emit light, but it also rotates 365 degrees and shines brightly without any blind spots!

In the darkness, Song Yu is the most dazzling one!
"..."

Song Yu touched the large flower on his head and closed his eyes.

Good heavens, we've already run into a ton of trouble before even finding the source of the tree.

It's getting dark now, isn't she in great danger?
Shan Gu went into the plantation to pick some herbs, then crushed and ground them.

"This is a potion to inhibit the growth of red peanuts. In exchange, you must stay here today and help us withstand the darkness's invasion of the tribe."

"We are tree people, with plant blood in our bodies, and we belong to the dark forest." "When darkness falls, many of our people will go mad."

"You have to help."

It seems this isn't the first time Shan Gu has made such a demand; she's quite adept at it.

She wasn't worried that Song Yu might have any ulterior motives. It didn't matter; the Dark Forest would teach these outsiders what honesty and integrity were all about.

"..."

From beginning to end, Song Yu didn't have a chance to say a word.

The native inhabitants of this instance are a bit strange; they're too friendly.

If what Shan Gu said is true, then it's related to the dungeon mechanics.

"Is there something you need in this instance?"

While Shan Gu was pounding medicine, he casually asked Song Yu.

"Find someone named Shuyuan."

"The source of the tree?"

Shan Gu frowned; she recognized this person.

It should be from the Tengsi tribe?

She didn't remember much about it.

Shan Gu has never liked to pay attention to these useless things.

"It's probably to the east of our tribe. You can go and check when it gets light."

"I can't believe it," Shan Gu said casually.

"Anyway, you definitely can't leave our tribe today."

"..."

Song Yu remained silent.

This guy doesn't look like he likes to talk much, but why does he talk so much?

Song Yu wasn't exactly a quiet person, but in front of Shan Gu, he seemed quite reserved.

Moreover, this person talks on and on, saying everything, yet it's as if he hasn't said anything at all.

"Alright, after you eat it, pluck out that big hibiscus flower. It won't grow back for a while."

Shan Gu patted the mud and dust off his body, gathered them together, and ate them.

It tastes pretty good.

After so much time spent in the dungeon, the original inhabitants of this world have all developed plant-based bloodlines, so eating dirt is perfectly normal for them.

"Thanks."

Song Yu took the herbal dumpling and ate it only after confirming that there were no problems.

The moment the big red flower was pulled out, Song Yu felt as if her soul had been ripped out.

It doesn't hurt; it's a very magical feeling.

Song Yu carefully placed the plucked hibiscus flower into his portable medical space and waited for night to fall.

However, before nightfall, a group of players arrived at the tribe.

Song Yu didn't recognize any of these players, nor had he seen them when he was disguised as an NPC.

They seemed to have mistaken Song Yu for a fellow player from the same instance, scrutinizing him warily and defensively, as if afraid he might do something rash.

Song Yu remained silent, choosing to let the misunderstanding continue.

Night was approaching, and the players outside gradually returned to their tribe.

The indigenous people in the tribe didn't find it strange at all and happily settled the players in.

Although the original inhabitants of this instance had a certain feeling, Song Yu always felt that something was a little strange.

She couldn't quite put her finger on it right now; the most urgent thing was to find out what the situation was like in this instance at night.

Time passed slowly, and the last rays of the setting sun disappeared on the horizon.

Night has officially fallen in the dark forest!
The players already knew what was going to happen and immediately grabbed their weapons in defense.

Only Song Yu appeared calm.

As the sunlight disappeared, darkness quickly engulfed the forest. Except for the places where the tribe had lit fires, the entire forest became pitch black, and nothing could be seen, even if Song Yu threw a flashlight or torch into the darkness!

"Roar--!!!"
