Don't provoke mentally ill people in the infinite flow genre!

Yi Zanglan explored the path for a while and found a sturdy old tree where she and Ling Ye rested temporarily.

"Take a nap first, it's not time yet."

"it is good."

Ling Ye was usually a light sleeper, and the slightest sound or movement would put him on alert. But this time, because Yi Zanglan was by his side, he slept very soundly.

Yi Zanglan sat against the tree, stuffing dried fruit into his mouth one piece after another.

Gragas didn't know what kind of wine it was, but her nerves were still very excited, as if her blood was flowing faster than normal, and something deep in her soul was about to burst forth.

She looked up at the faint moonlight filtering through the leaves, then looked back at the bracelets on her wrist.

The malice hidden in the high-level dungeon was indeed extraordinary; the bracelet had almost completely turned black, with only one bit left.

...Ling Ye, who was sleeping next to her, suddenly began to breathe rapidly and heavily, which had been steady.

In his sleep, he clutched his heart tightly, his body curled up in pain, and he trembled unconsciously and repressively.

Yi Zanglan quickly bent down to check on him. She touched his forehead and found that he was burning up again. This kind of skill aftereffect was really going to kill him.

She took out a blanket that she had prepared beforehand from her suitcase, unfolded it, and completely wrapped Ling Ye in it before pulling him into her arms.

She didn't speak, but gently patted his back to comfort him until Ling Ye gradually calmed down.

He seemed to have woken up, barely opening his eyes. He felt slightly relieved after seeing her face, then let out a weary sigh.

"Lanlan".

"I'm here," Yi Zanglan asked in a low voice, "Does your heart hurt a lot?"

"fine."

"It hurts, that's what it means. There's no need to lie," she said. "Everyone feels pain, and besides, showing weakness in front of me isn't anything shameful."

Lingye chuckled softly: "Yeah, it hurts a little, but I can handle it."

He draped the blanket half over her, then rested his head on her shoulder and closed his eyes again.

……

Tonight's location is the Secret Jungle, and the in-game footage will be streamed normally.

[Juniper]: Sigh, why can't I join the team? I should be supporting the captain and Brother Ling. (Puppy crying.jpg)

[Tang Yunxi]: Who doesn't? I think so too. I want to be Lanlan's driver; walking around inside like that is exhausting.

[Shen Yubai]: Wild King is suffering too much, and Lanlan is worried sick.

[Qin Shaoyu]: What does it feel like to be hugged and comforted so gently by the captain? I'm suddenly a little envious of the jungler, I want to too...

[Yan Zhao]: You want to die.

[Shen Yubai]: Brother Caishen, have you encountered any recent misfortunes? Are you still mentally sound?

[Tang Yunxi]: You're sick. Send a red envelope to the group chat, and I won't relay your rude comment to Lanlan.

[Qin Shaoyu]: ? ? ? ]

[Qin Shaoyu]: I just wanted to express my longing to be loved and cared for by the captain!

[System notification: [Qin Shaoyu] has sent out a red envelope containing 10000 gold coins, which can be equally distributed among all team members.]

[Yan Zhao]: (Thumbs up.jpg)

＊ ＊ ＊ ＊ ＊ ＊

Yi Zanglan rested for a while until he heard a slight rustling sound coming from all around, as if something was moving in the dark.

She suddenly opened her eyes, calmly looked around, and at that moment Ling Ye also woke up. The two looked at each other.

...Something is completely wrong.

I don’t know when it started, but the sky here has suddenly brightened. Sunlight or moonlight, a kind of eerie dark blue light, is shining through the intricate vines and leaves, casting dappled shadows across the entire dense forest.

Tap tap, tap tap.

An unidentified creature was walking nearby; they could only hear its voice but couldn't see it, and it was getting closer and closer, sounding like it would soon surround the two of them.

Yi Zanglan got up, trying to pinpoint the other person's exact location, but the light and shadow suddenly exploded in front of her like shattered glass, scattered and dizzying. The sound of wind, leaves, and footsteps mixed together in a chaotic echo, completely distorting her five senses.

The temperature in the forest plummeted, and the space seemed to be forcibly compressed. The shadows of the surrounding trees converged towards the center at an extremely high speed, trapping the small area where the two were located in an airtight space.

...The sound of a sharp weapon tearing through the air suddenly came from ahead, reaching the ears of the two men with perfect clarity.

Years of training ingrained their physical instincts, causing both of them to lean back and dodge simultaneously—a strike that should have been completely avoided.

however.

The white bone vines, sharp as saw teeth and each nearly three fingers wide, came whistling from behind the two men the moment they stood still again, lashing them heavily across their backs.

The strong stench of blood quickly spread in the wind, and the wounds penetrated the heavy cloak, striking the flesh directly.

Yi Zanglan fell due to inertia, but she flipped over and leaped up to protect Ling Ye. In the blink of an eye, she saw more bone vines attracted by the bloody smell, forming a net from all directions and chasing after the two of them.

"Let's get out of here!"

Everything around them seemed shrouded in a luminous fog, and the two briefly lost their sense of direction, relying solely on their most primal instincts to escape.

But all their judgments were wrong. The bone vines lashed their bodies in turn, and blood dripped down their feet, seeping into the soil piled with decaying leaves.

They tried to fight the bone vines with the daggers they had bought at the blacksmith's shop that morning, but the daggers could only make the bone vines retreat temporarily and could not cause them any real damage.

...Yi Zanglan, who was running at high speed, was as if struck by some force, lost his balance in an instant, and crashed sideways into a tree trunk.

A dark silver crossbow bolt pierced her shoulder; this was clearly not a test from the secret jungle, but a weapon from outsiders.

Ling Ye pulled her back to his side. The two quickly looked at each other. He was anxious, but at that moment he saw the excited light burning in her eyes.

"It's finally here."

She had been waiting.

Sure enough, there were others lurking in the secret jungle tonight.

The more dangerous the place you explore, the more likely you are to gain an advantage in clearing the level, and who knows, there might even be some unexpected surprises.

Don't trust your senses too much; what you see and hear may not be true.

Gragas's voice echoed in my mind. It wasn't just drunken ramblings, but an important hint given by a drunkard who loved adventure.

Perhaps, shutting down our senses will allow us to make accurate judgments.

However, doing so requires a certain amount of confidence and courage.

Yi Zanglan used both hands forcefully to tear the hem of her shirt to shreds and handed a part of it to Ling Ye.

"You know what to do, right?"

"Know."

The two blindfolded themselves with strips of cloth, tied them tightly behind their heads, and then plugged their ears, completely cutting off their sight and hearing.

Yi Zanglan pulled the crossbow bolt from her shoulder with a backhand motion, blood splattering out. She rubbed the pattern on the bolt with her fingertips and chuckled coldly.

The night has only just begun.
