Chapter 77 Less Talk, Less Mistakes
Meng Duanyue gestured for everyone to rest where they were.

She led the woman with the neat short green hair to look around.

They discovered that there were indeed no monsters within a radius of about one mile.

even……

Not even a mosquito!

Meng Duanyue shared the results of her investigation with everyone.

"That's right! I knew it. This route was going so smoothly, but it felt like something was missing. Now that you mention it, I finally know what the problem was."

mosquito!

Although they wore mosquito and insect repellent pouches along the way, there were always times when they couldn't completely protect themselves.

It only reduces the number of mosquitoes that swarm to bite them, making them less likely to get close.

But there are always those who are desperately hungry!

Upon hearing her words, everyone immediately realized what she meant and echoed her sentiments.

“Wanyin is right! It’s understandable that there are no demonic beasts. Perhaps something happened in the forest, or something is about to be born, which attracted or scared away the demonic beasts.”

"But the absence of even mosquitoes is too abnormal!"

When something is out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy going on!!

Meng Duanyue's expression was serious as she said in a deep voice, "Everyone, remain on high alert!"

She looked at Huiyao and the others: "All of you from the outer sect, come to the middle!"

Hui Yao and the others walked to the middle of the group without hesitation; now was not the time to be stubborn or polite.

The Water Demon Forest is fraught with danger. With their meager cultivation, trying to be brave would be tantamount to suicide!

Hui Yao, Shi Qing, and the others, who were being protected in the middle of the group by Meng Duanyue and others, tacitly placed Nan Ran in the very center.

Meng Duanyue glanced at Nan Ran's position and raised an eyebrow thoughtfully.

It seems this junior sister is quite popular?
The group maintained this formation and walked for a while longer. The surroundings remained quiet, and no monsters attacked them.

"This is where we usually stop, set up camp, and rest," Jiang Wanyin said in a low voice.

All eyes turned to Meng Duanyue, as if to ask whether they should stop this time.

This place is a frequent campsite for disciples of the Beast Taming Sect.

The monsters of the Water Demon Forest rarely venture here.

If they want to stop and rest, this is undoubtedly the best place for them.

but……

"The situation is currently unclear..."

Meng Duanyue thought for a moment and made a decision: "Let's go check out the area first. I remember seeing a hidden cave nearby when I came here before, which would be a good place to hide and rest."

She planned to lead everyone to stop and rest near where they had originally set up camp to replenish their water supply.

No one had any objection.

Nan Ran listened quietly to instructions throughout, but looking at Meng Duanyue and the others' serious preparations, he couldn't help but think.

It seems... the blue firefly queen pupa on her body has the function of driving away demonic beasts?

so!!!
There are no monsters around here, and no mosquitoes biting us. Could it be because of her?!
Nan Ran was conflicted, unsure whether she should tell Meng Duanyue about the situation.

After thinking it over, she decided that it would be best to pretend that she knew nothing for the time being.

Saying nothing means you can't go wrong.

Besides, she wasn't sure if it was because of her.

If everyone stays vigilant like this, we can respond promptly if anything happens.

If everyone relaxes because of what she said, and then something happens and they don't have time to react, wouldn't that be her fault?

Just then, they suddenly heard Meng Duanyue shout loudly, "Stay alert! They're here!!"

Nan Ran was completely bewildered.

What's coming?!
