The five of them left the cave and walked three or four miles. They climbed a small hill. Grass was everywhere and green. A trickle of water came from the bottom of the hill.
Zhang Mu looked down: "There seems to be a stream down here. We don't seem to have much water, so we can replenish it."
Fatty said,"I've had enough of the smelly, dirty mud water. I wish the stream would be cleaner."
The stream was among the bushes at the bottom of the hillside. The stream was very small. The five of them walked along the stream for about five minutes and found a mountain stream. The water flowed out of the cliff and formed a thirty-meter-high waterfall. The waterfall fell below and gathered into a small pool.
The water flow here was not large. The pool was about four to five hundred square meters in area, and the deepest part was the waist. The water quality was clear and pure, without any impurities. There was a layer of colorful stones at the bottom of the pool. Under the sunlight, it sparkled, warm and beautiful. It was very beautiful.
There might be natural gemstones and emeralds inside. With a little carving and processing, they would immediately become top-grade jewelry. The few of them did not take a second look. The value of anything was not innate, but given by the environment. In such an environment, even if a once valuable diamond was placed in front of it, it could not even compare to the value of water itself.
The five of them stopped by the pool. The water was shallow and clear. They observed their surroundings and found no danger. They immediately bent over and drank. The spring water was cool and refreshing. They took out the kettle, poured out the remaining swamp sewage, and put it into the water to wash it several times. All the remaining mud was washed away, and then they filled it with clear spring water.
" Hahaha…" Fatty took off his arms and jumped into the water with a plop. He was like a dirty pig falling into the river. The dirt on his body was washed away, making the surrounding water muddy. Fatty turned around and shouted as he washed," This water is very refreshing, boss!" Come down and wash yourselves!"
The feeling Zhang Mu and the others felt at this moment was something that ordinary people could not imagine. Unless, on a hot summer day, you work hard in the hot sun from morning to night, and then insist on not showering for months, then you can experience what five people feel now.
Ever since they left the swamp, all five of them, including their hair, had been covered in smelly sludge, basically turning into clay figurines. The mud was solidified, but the hot jungle made people sweat, sweat mixed with mud, sticky itching, smelly. At this time, nothing is more attractive than a pool of clean water.
Sun Bing and Zhang Mu took off their armor, jumped into the water, and began to wash. Chen Ling and Leng Yun looked at each other and walked into the water one after another. Of course, they are not so open-minded, and naturally they cannot be as bold as men. However, as he washed his clothes in the water, the originally clean water immediately became extremely turbid. Fortunately, the water was flowing and the clean water kept pouring in.
Zhang Mu walked to the bottom of the mountain stream. The mountain spring flowed down from a distance of thirty meters, and it had a lot of power. He let the water flow wash his body crazily, and his face was completely washed clean of mud and blood. It gave him a feeling of rebirth.
That's awesome!
At this moment, Leng Yun and Chen Ling walked over.
Leng Yun's entire body was drenched. Her long robe clung tightly to her body, outlining her perfect curves. Her breasts were full and straight, her slender waist could not be grasped, her hips were round and plump, and her jade-like legs were slender and straight. All of them were full of moving charm. Chen Ling was also a first-class beauty. She could become the focus no matter where she walked. However, when she stood with Leng Yun, she lost a lot of color.
Zhang Mu walked out from under the waterfall and wiped his face hard. He asked curiously,"What's the matter?"
Leng Yun was a little embarrassed. She whispered,"We…want to wash ourselves alone. Is that okay?"
Zhang Mu nodded and said,"Of course not. Let's go find some food. We'll be back in about half an hour."
Leng Yun was very happy and thanked him,"Thank you, Wood!"
This time, he didn't call him captain. He called him by his nickname, which made people feel a lot closer to him.
Zhang Mu smiled and said," It's okay. You guys wash faster. Stay alert. Be careful."
Leng Yun felt warm and comfortable." Don't worry."
Fatty and Sun Bing splashed water on each other not far away. Zhang Mu called the two away and walked along the stream to find food.
After the three of them left, the two girls took off their clothes and walked to the waterfall. Cool water poured down from above and washed their dirty bodies continuously. This feeling was refreshing and intoxicating.
Leng Yun was tall, about 1.68 meters tall, and her slender legs accounted for two-thirds of her height. Both legs were warm and round, and there was no gap between them. Her skin was delicate and snow-white, her buttocks were perfectly rounded, her breasts were plump and plump, and she was very firm and round. She was really a rare beauty in the world.
Chen Ling couldn't help but say,"You are not only beautiful, but also have a good figure!"
Leng Yun was a little embarrassed. She smiled and said," No, actually Sister Chen is also very good."
Chen Ling was a little old, but she kept her figure very good. She shook her head and said,"How can I compare with you?"
Leng Yun could feel envy in the other party's eyes, and she was also quite proud in her heart. She had questioned everything since she was young, except her appearance and figure. Leng Yun was very confident in her charm. After all, since junior high, her pursuers had never stopped!
Leng Yun thought silently in her heart,"What is he thinking in his heart?" He seems to be a little different from other men." Her hand gently brushed against her snow-white skin. She recalled the scene in the cave where Zhang Mu rushed over to care about her safety. She could not help but feel a little distracted.
Zhang Mu led Fatty and Sun Bing along the stream for a mile.
"More or less. Look around. There should be a lot of turtles, catfish, crabs and the like in the water."
"Boss, look here."
Fatty suddenly noticed something on the grass beside the stream and immediately called Zhang Mu over. Zhang Mu walked over and saw an obvious bonfire mark on the grass beside the stream. There were some leftover roasted meat and bones nearby, and several cigarette butts were left behind.
Sun Bing saw this and his eyes lit up, saying,"These are obviously traces left by humans."
Zhang Mu bent down and picked up a piece of charred wood. The wood was a little warm. He judged," They left less than two hours ago. They haven't gone far."
"There are also traces of bonfires over there!" Sun Bing pointed at a nearby place and shouted.
Fatty was very puzzled." Why is there more than one bonfire?"
"This means that the team is relatively large." Zhang Mu looked around and said," Let's check the number of bonfires. We'll probably know the number of enemies."
A total of eleven campfire traces were found. This group of people was indeed quite large, with a visual estimate of eighty to ninety people. It was a good thing to have more people. With 80 or 90 people together, as long as they reached Level 4 or 5 on average, they could still deal with one or two Gold Elite monsters.
Sun Bing asked,"Should we go find them?"
"We can follow him and inquire." He said,"Let's see what kind of team it is." If it's a mob, forget it."
Sun Bing agreed very much.
If it was a team with strict discipline and high combat strength, it was fine to join. If it was a team like Brother Black, it would not be as reliable as a five-person team.
The three of them returned upstream.
Leng Yun and Chen Ling had already washed up. When they saw that the three of them had returned empty-handed, they couldn't help but feel a little strange." Didn't you guys go for food?"
Zhang Mu told the two of them.
Leng Yun nodded." If our team can join a larger team, our safety will be better guaranteed. This is a good thing. Let's hurry up and take a look."
Zhang Mu said: "Their route has been determined, the other side is very many, it is impossible to go too fast, we will soon be able to catch up. Just in case, adjust your condition first."
Leng Yun recovered their HP and drank a bottle of magic potion, which basically replenished their mana. The party was in its best condition. Although it had fewer players, it was definitely ahead of most players in terms of levels, skills, and equipment.
The team followed the trail left behind by the enemy and advanced in one direction.
...…
It was a pristine jungle, overgrown with shrubs, thorns, tangled roots, trees a meter thick, their bark covered with slimy moss. The air was full of earthy smell and the smell of rotten branches and leaves. It was hot and humid, making people sweat a lot and feel weak in the chest.
Out of the bushes came a small group of about ten people, nine of whom were men, including a little girl about fourteen years old. The men were all tall, with cropped heads, wearing camouflage clothes, and holding various firearms. The little girl was very beautiful and cute, with a refreshing ponytail, carved in pink and jade, like a porcelain doll, and wearing exquisite leather armor., holding a short stick in her hand.
The leader of the ten was a burly man who was about the size of a bear. His muscles were bulging like copper water. His edges were sharp and his skin was very dark, so dark that people couldn't help but wonder if he had grown up eating charcoal. However, his appearance was not bad. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes. With his dark skin, he was full of masculinity and determination.
"Brothers, be careful." The dark-skinned man made a hand gesture, and everyone except the girl skillfully hid themselves. The man lowered his voice and said," There's a monster ahead. Level 7 Bronze Elite, HP 550. Bobcat, antelope, approach from the left wing."
The two men immediately stood up from the bushes. They were dressed in tattered camouflage uniforms and were covered in tree branches. One of them was carrying a Type 95 rifle, while the other was carrying a Type 88 sniper rifle. Both guns were covered in tree branches. Whether it was concealment or stealth, their movements were regular and fast. They were definitely elite soldiers who had been trained for a long time.
The two of them slowly approached the monster and stopped about 200 meters away.
It was a huge brown bear monster. It was at least four meters tall. When standing, it was twice the height of a human and weighed 800 kilograms.
"What a big guy! Aim!"
One of the soldiers raised his sniper rifle and aimed at the brown bear 200 meters away. Suddenly, he pulled the trigger. Bang!
A ball of blood splattered on the brown bear's head. Within 200 meters, it was headshot by a sniper rifle. Even an elephant had to lie down. The brown bear lost nearly 100 health points and roared. However, it could not find the attacker's position for a while. After a few seconds, another bullet hit the brown bear's head.
"Roar!"
The brown bear was furious like thunder. It followed the direction of the gunshot. When it was about 50 meters away, the gunshot rang out again in the forest. The bullet hit the brown bear in the chest, causing 50 damage.
The little girl said in an old voice,"Old Black, you are too cautious." Every time you kill a monster, you shoot it half to death. Uncle said that killing monsters with guns doesn't give us experience points. With this kind of fighting style, we'll lose at least half of our experience points! The monster drop rate will also decrease!"
" It takes a thousand years to be careful. I have to take responsibility for the lives of my soldiers." The burly man said,"Almost done. Kill it!"
"Watch me!"
The little girl raised her short staff, and a hexagonal star array appeared beside her. A furry claw stretched out from the magic array, and a gray wolf half the height of a human walked out. With a majestic howl, it rushed out of the forest and pounced on the brown bear.
The pretty girl was obviously a Summoner!
