"I was indeed teleported here, just like you said," Shi Wanyun said with a helpless smile.
"Ah..." Zeng Tao looked at her with eyes full of sympathy, "You’ve been teleported once before, right? That’s so unfortunate... But don’t worry!"
She patted her chest, "We’re definitely going to make it out, and when that happens, even if you can’t go back, you can stay with us!"
Xu Xin’s lips twitched slightly.
This silly girl.
Shi Wanyun hadn’t even said much yet, and she’s already extending kindness.
You’ve just t, right?
"Well, that’s what I was thinking too." Shi Wanyun chuckled softly, brushing the hair from her forehead behind her ear, "If I really can’t go back, I’ll have to rely on you all."
"Alright, now’s not the ti to chat about this." Lou Fei’Er interrupted their conversation, feeling sothing was off about Shi Wanyun, "Our current task is to head towards the Crystal Palace in the center."
Lou Fei’Er pointed to the bright palace about two kiloters away.
"We were just thinking of heading there! Can we go back once we get there? Oh right! Did you see the recent changes here?" Zeng Tao pointed at the crystal structures, "It was spectacular just now! Jin Yue, quickly tell them what happened, I can’t explain it well..."
"Okay." Jin Yue imdiately started narrating their recent experiences.
The stone facade of the buildings fell off, and the insect swarms attacked people—these were things Shi Wanyun had just told them. It seems she wasn’t lying.
However, the fierceness of the insect swarm was unexpected.
"So, entering that palace now is not an easy thing to do," Zeng Tao pointed to the dense insect swarm a few hundred ters away, "Those bugs are terrifying!"
"Don’t worry, we have a plan."
Xu Xin was not too worried and told Zeng Tao and the others about the insect repellent potion.
"There’s sothing that useful?!" Zeng Tao exclaid in surprise, "Qi Xuefei sure is impressive! We should quickly apply it and go in, no ti to waste!"
"I’ll help you apply it, Little Taozi~" Lou Fei’Er took the antidote Xu Xin handed her and chuckled as she walked over to Zeng Tao, "You can’t apply it well on your own."
"What are you doing?! I’d rather have Xu Xin apply it than you! Move aside! I’ll let Jin Yue help with my back!"
"Don’t be so cold~ Co in with , the only bottle of potion is in my hands."
"Ugh, you... stingy person..." Zeng Tao reluctantly followed Lou Fei’Er into a crystal house.
Jin Yue followed closely behind and went in.
Xu Xin touched the sleeping Keke in his arms and looked at Shi Wanyun, "Aren’t you going in?"
"...May I? Thank you." Shi Wanyun gave a slightly grateful smile and then entered the stone house as well.
The door was closed.
But the voices could still be heard.
"Don’t touch ! Touch again, and I’ll hit you!"
"Sigh... It’s all because of who I ended up in such a strange place..."
"You’re morally kidnapping , shaless!"
"Just obediently take your clothes off! Ah, you two as well!"
Inside, there ca the sounds of Lou Fei’Er and Zeng Tao quarreling, along with Jin Yue trying to diate.
"Alright, stop fooling around, hurry up, don’t waste ti." Xu Xin was outside, feeling exasperated.
"Okay, we’re on it!" Lou Fei’Er responded imdiately.
"Even Xu Xin is angry, you get out of my way... So cold!!"
Inside, there was a commotion, but they were quick about it.
When they erged, all four won were dressed again.
Zeng Tao had a gritted-teeth expression, hiding behind Xu Xin and glaring at Lou Fei’Er, who had a smug smile on her face.
Jin Yue looked on helplessly at the two, while Shi Wanyun struggled to hold back her laughter.
"Here, there’s a little left, but not much." Lou Fei’Er handed the remaining potion to Xu Xin.
This potion, there’s only enough for about three people now.
But it should be enough to use.
"Alright, alright, since we’re all ready, let’s set off."
The five of them headed towards the Crystal Palace in the center.
The closer they got to the Crystal Palace, the brighter the surrounding crystal structures shone with their pearly white light.
This is why all the insects were gathered in this area.
Soon, they reached the outermost edge of the insect swarm.
"Uh... They shouldn’t attack us, right?" Zeng Tao, still affected by her past experience, rubbed her once-violated small hand nervously.
"I’ll go first." Jin Yue, without waiting for a response, leapt forward with a light push of her feet, easily jumping over ten ters to the front of the insect swarm.
Seeing Jin Yue’s jumping ability, Shi Wanyun’s eyelids twitched again.
"...Enhanced jumping ability?" she thought to herself, "But among those with random enhancents, there shouldn’t be the na Jin Yue, right? Is this her own ability?"
Jin Yue moved into the insect swarm.
The swarm imdiately revealed its frenzied side.
All the insects within tens of ters charged and crawled towards her!
But just at a ter or so away from her, they abruptly stopped, circling around her.
They seed eager to attack but dared not co closer.
However...
These insects weren’t entirely afraid to co near.
In just those few seconds of standing still, they had already tightened their encirclent by a layer!
"Ah, co out quickly!" Zeng Tao imdiately shouted in alarm.
