Chapter 297: Chapter 16: Calling Dad is also a Good Choice (2-in-1 Big Chapter)_2
He had already reached the level of the second [Energy Trait]. But he could only sense within two or three hundred meters. When dealing with [Sun Halo], he could sense battle fluctuations within a kilometer. These were directly cut off.
Was it restricted by the task?
Li Changhe had a thought, was it because they didn’t want the [Players] to explore the forest easily? If Brother Ting and Cangyue Ming’s energy was not locked, they could quickly learn about the surrounding terrain. This was restricting them, and it probably had something to do with the unreleased statuses in the [Task Information].
"However, did we trigger any conditions? Why did it suddenly unlock?" Moon God whispered, "If it was because the other party completed some conditions, they wouldn’t unlock it for us."
"Maybe it’s the time?" He Feng pulled away the leaves and looked at the starry sky in the night.
"If I remember the star map correctly, this should be near the equatorial region. The equator has equal day and night throughout the year." He Feng took out a few fruit seeds from his pocket, "After meeting up, I reminded myself to eat one fruit per hour. Although the timing is not accurate and there will be a deviation of ten minutes or so, it can still calculate the approximate time."
"Awesome, human timekeeper!" Li Changhe gave a thumbs up to the box.
Yun Ting couldn’t leave Li Changhe’s body at the moment either, but she also admired, "As expected of someone raised by my own father!"
"No, my father only taught us to talk shit," He Feng replied solemnly.
"That’s right!" Li Changhe also replied solemnly, "And not to sell our asses."
"Oh..." Yun Ting choked.
He Feng looked at Li Changhe and lowered his voice, "Learn from Old Li, being reckless all the way will get you killed! Moon God and Cangyue Ming are acquaintances now, so we can trust them. But in other tasks, you’ll probably have to rely on yourself. Learn."
"I understand." Li Changhe nodded, knowing that the box was being kind. Instead of asking the box to come over and help, it was more like the box wanted to take this opportunity to teach Li Changhe something.
Compared to a large amount of knowledge inquiry and memorization, this kind of caution in the face of danger is the most important.
Of course, Li Changhe had to listen to the good intentions of his own brother.
After carefully taking out all the seeds, he found eight seeds from various fruits.
Li Changhe carefully recalled that after everyone had met up, they ate something casually and then started on their way. The sky was soon dark.
As the box said, it was close to the equator, where the day and night are equal all year round.
The night time is generally from six in the afternoon to six in the morning the next day.
The first seed was probably before it got dark, and the other seven were eaten after dark.
If it was seven hours, then it should be close to midnight now.
"It should be between 23 and 24 o’clock." Li Changhe analyzed, "Is it that a new ability will be unlocked every new day?"
"Don’t assume it’s 24 o’clock first. The [Evolution Game] has many tricks. It might be a precise time, and it’s more likely to be a clue to this [Task]. We have to be careful." He Feng reminded.
Li Changhe nodded, "If conditions allow, we need to calculate carefully. Unfortunately, it’s not a [Backpack], otherwise, we could eat something good now."
All four of them had eaten a lot of fruits. To be honest, it was even more uncomfortable to eat fruits when they were hungry. They couldn’t hold on for long.
"At least with our current attributes, we can escape from the natives’ siege." Cangyue Ming added.
Moon God saw the three of them as [Great Wall Players], but in reality, only Cangyue Ming was a real [Great Wall Player].
However, since she knew something about Li Changhe and He Feng, she didn’t have any mental pressure.
She reminded, "Although our perception is limited now, I can still detect that there are people fighting in the jungle to the northwest. Shall we go and have a look?"
"Are there many natives there?"
"I can’t measure it well; the natives here have an ability similar to Qi-blocking. Although their level is not high, the distance is too far. However, I can feel that they are fighting with some people. The fight is quite intense, and the natives seem to have met a tough opponent."
"How many people are on the other side?"
"About four or three people. That’s already my perception limit."
"Could it be enemy [Players]?" Li Changhe pondered and shook his head, "It’s impossible. If they were also in the forest, they would know that whoever exposes themselves first will suffer. It’s unlikely that they would have conflicts with the natives. Moreover, if we just recovered our attributes as we just speculated, we would have run away. Who would stay and fight with the natives?"
"So, is it a plot force?" Moon God thought for a moment, "This may be our opportunity to get in with them. If we step in now, we’ll be doing them a favor, right? At least we don’t have to cling to their legs and call them dad."
"But, if we want to go there, we have to sneak through several hundred meters of jungle in the dark. It’s a pity to give up such an opportunity." The group was still weighing their options.
Cangyue Ming opened his mouth, "A third party has joined!" He paused for a moment, his face displaying some surprise, "Both sides have fled. It seems that the third party is very strong and still pursuing them."
The next second, Cangyue Ming’s face turned pale, and he closed his mouth. He raised his index finger to signal everyone to stay quiet.
He sent a message to [Friends]: "They’re coming! Hide!"
Actually, everyone knew what had happened when they saw his gesture. They controlled their breathing and leaned against the trees, trying to minimize their presence.
Within a few seconds, Yun Ting spoke softly in their minds, "Something is approaching."
It was already within a hundred meters. Was it heading towards Li Changhe and the others? Could it even track them by sensing their energy?
Li Changhe held his breath and contacted the group through [Friends]. If they were really discovered by accident, they would have to escape! The four of them had the power to fight. If they couldn’t win, they could at least run, right?
Soon, there was a vibration from the trees, as if a giant beast was galloping on the ground.
The surrounding trees shook, and the leaves fell like snow in winter.
The next second, a... monster with a rather fat body suddenly crashed into a tree about ten meters away from everyone.
With a "crack" sound, the tree as thick as a water bucket was broken in half.
Li Changhe’s eyes twitched. This collision immediately deterred him from having any thoughts of confronting this monster now.
But this monster... obviously wouldn’t spare everyone just because they cried for mercy.
At first glance, it looked like a naked humanoid lump of flesh. In reality, it was over three meters tall with four human-like legs. Although they resembled human legs, no human could grow their legs as thick as water buckets.
In its upper body was a mountain of flesh. Its short arms were so stubby that they probably couldn’t even touch. There was no face to be seen, but there was a very conspicuous large mouth in the center between the hands.
At this moment, the flesh mountain monster was madly hitting the trees around it.
It began moving towards the tree where Li Changhe and the others were hiding.
To be honest, with such an ugly monster approaching, the pressure was quite significant.
"Is this the third party you were talking about?" Li Changhe could see through the gaps in the leaves that the flesh mountain monster was now only about ten meters away from him.
Li Changhe began to gather strength in his legs, preparing to activate his Golden Spirit at any moment.
This monster was not something they could handle now. Ordinary rocks and wooden spears would probably be useless against it. They had to run!
"Unfortunately... no!" Cangyue Ming replied through [Friends]. "It has a Qi-blocking ability similar to that of the native wild people. It should be from the native side. Something even more ferocious is coming! Be quiet and do not make any sound!"
As if to confirm Cangyue Ming’s words, the flesh mountain that Li Changhe could see through the gaps suddenly fell to the ground.
Despite its four thick legs, it couldn’t stand up at all. At the same time, it emitted a wailing sound like a baby.
The wailing made everyone’s ears hurt, but they all tried their best to hold their breath.
That’s because an even larger shadow covered the flesh mountain. An unidentified liquid dripped down, corroding pits in the ground.
"Hiss hiss hiss" This sound was even more chilling than the flesh mountain’s scream.
The chills ran from everyone’s waists to the back of their heads as they all controlled their breathing.
Li Changhe and the others didn’t dare to move.
The black shadow had already enveloped the tree where Li Changhe and He Feng were hiding. It seemed to be sniffing the scent.
A viscous liquid dripped down right in front of Li Changhe, corroding everything it touched, whether it was tree branches or leaves.
A few seconds later, the black shadow left.
The carnivorous monster, still wailing like a baby, gradually disappeared into the jungle, being dragged away.
After a long time, the four of them covered in cold sweat finally breathed a quiet sigh of relief.
"Alright, I suddenly feel that calling for mercy is not a bad choice," said Moon God, her voice somewhat hoarse.
"Agreed..."
