"Ha ha, okay, let's go."
Xiao Zhe and Xu Hua took the lead and entered the dense fog outside the playground.
Once the group of about 20-30 people entered the fog, the fog receded behind them.
Turning left out of the playground's main gate leads to the campus residential and academic areas, while turning right leads up a mountain road.
About 50 ters from the playground is the school library, located on a small hillside, which is part of the foot of Biyun Mountain.
The main road to Biyun Mountain is not here.
Xiao Zhe led the team towards the library.
"They said they were going to Biyun Mountain, why are they heading to the library?"
Chen Fei muttered.
Yang Xiao thought for a mont and said:
"Is Biyun Mountain so easy to venture into? As long as we can hunt Mutated Creatures around the school and acquire Genetic Fragnts, it's all the sa wherever we are."
Chen Lu nodded and added:
"The area around the library is surrounded by woods, usually ho to various insects, ants, birds, and beasts; everyone be cautious."
While they were talking, the group led by Xiao Zhe upfront suddenly roared loudly, engaging in a fight with so Mutated Creatures.
Yang Xiao took a distant look, seeing that in Xiao Zhe's team, there were five or six people who could cast Fireball, Ice Ball, and Lightning, all with a casting distance of over 3 ters, just like the current Chen Fei and Chen Lu.
"These are all Mages!"
Yang Xiao sighed inwardly.
Yang Xiao ran up and saw that it was a basketball-sized Mutated Frog that had been flattened by Xiao Zhe and others.
"Such a big frog, making a spicy dry pot frog would taste good with more chili peppers."
Yang Xiao comnted while standing aside.
Xu Hua was startled and responded:
"Yang Xiao, do you always think about eating? Do you have chili peppers?"
"Of course, I have chili peppers. How about I give you a spoonful of chili peppers, and you share half of the frog at with ?"
"Dream on, such a fine Mutated Frog, no way I'm sharing. Go get your own."
Xiao Zhe instructed to gather up the Mutated Frog's body and continued forward with the group.
All along the way, Xiao Zhe and his team vigorously besieged various small Mutated Animals on the broad road, while Yang Xiao and others couldn't even pick up scraps following behind.
Passing a fork in the road, Chen Fei said:
"Boss, this path leads to the college swimming pool, and it's flanked by small woods on both sides. There should be Mutated Creatures, but not too many, just right for us to fight."
"Alright, let's take this path."
The group of five entered the path and had only walked about five or six ters when they heard a buzzing sound—dozens of wasps ca flying over, led by one huge golden wasp.
"Holy shit, what luck, to battle!"
Yang Xiao held the Black Long Sword, leapt up over 3 ters high, and slashed at the leading golden wasp, while Dai Yun also transford into Wolf Claw and leaped to attack.
Chen Fei's Lightning, Chen Lu's Ice Ball, and Feifei's long hair all launched attacks together.
Yang Xiao's slash missed the golden wasp, which swiftly dodged his attack, fluttered its wings, and spat a ball of green liquid toward Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao quickly dodged to the side; the green liquid sprayed onto the grass, which imdiately sizzled and emitted a wisp of green smoke as the grass corroded and withered within monts.
Feifei, seeing this, shouted loudly:
"Boss, be careful, this wasp can spray Poison Liquid, highly toxic!"
Yang Xiao was intently fighting the golden wasp, his longsword constantly changing directions to strike at it. The golden wasp, knowing it couldn't squarely confront Yang Xiao, dodged left and right, looking for an opportunity to strike.
Yang Xiao, with a clear view, noticed a 20-centiter-long black sting at the tail of the golden wasp, as thick as the chopsticks used for eating. Being stung by it would likely an a swift death.
Yang Xiao attacked ferociously, not giving the golden wasp a mont to breathe, shouting loudly:
"I'll handle the Bee Queen, you guys hurry up and deal with those small wasps, then co over and help."
Hearing this, Dai Yun and the others imdiately sped up their attacks.
Dai Yun's arms and legs had mutated, allowing her to easily leap over 4 to 5 ters, fierce and aggressive.
With her acting as a at shield to attract the wasps, Chen Fei, Chen Lu, and Feifei could easily execute their attacks.
Minutes later, over ten mutated wasps were dealt with, dropping three Genetic Fragnts.
Seeing the tide turning, the golden Bee Queen spewed a stream of green Poison Liquid at Yang Xiao. As he dodged, it seized the mont to escape into the dense fog.
Yang Xiao, in a rush to pursue, was held back by Dai Yun.
"Boss, keep your cool. The fog hides various Mutated Creatures. We can only advance step by step."
Yang Xiao took a deep breath, cald down, slung his arm around Dai Yun's shoulder and patted her buttock, saying:
"You're right, I was too hasty."
Yang Xiao treated Dai Yun purely as a comrade-in-arms, forgetting she was a girl.
Dai Yun's face flushed red when Yang Xiao patted her butt.
Chen Fei and the others saw this and burst into laughter.
Yang Xiao quickly said:
"Sorry, I forgot you were girls."
This remark imdiately stirred dissatisfaction among Chen Fei and the others.
With her chest puffed out, Chen Fei said:
"What, in the eyes of our boss, are we so ugly that we lack any charm as girls?"
Yang Xiao gave an embarrassed smile and hurriedly explained:
"Not at all. I just got carried away with the fight and forgot."
In fact, apart from Feifei being sowhat plump and plain, Chen Fei and the others weren't ugly; they just paled in comparison to beauties like Qin Yu.
Seeing Chen Fei and the others' indignant expressions, Yang Xiao added:
"Actually, you guys are all beauties with great figures."
Pfft!
Chen Fei and the others laughed and muttered "hypocrite," then let it slide.
Yang Xiao thought to himself, these girls had mutated now, gaining skills, and even dared to square off with him.
Yang Xiao and others continued on their way, walking a few ters, when suddenly there was a hissing sound, as if sothing was flying towards them.
After their mutations, everyone's senses were extra sharp, especially Yang Xiao. He imdiately raised his Black Long Sword to block sothing in front of him. He felt the sword move slightly as if sothing was entangled on it. Upon closer inspection, a strand of white thread was wrapped around the black blade.
Startled, Yang Xiao pulled hard on the Longsword, feeling a strong force pulling back. With another heave, he felt like he was slowly dragging sothing out of the fog, reminiscent of fishing.
"Everyone, be alert!"
Yang Xiao shouted lowly and continued to pull back the Longsword. After a mont, a basin-sized dark object with several fuzzy long legs was pulled out from the fog.
Chen Fei and the others, being girls, were inevitably startled and nervous at the sight of such a creature. For a mont, they were dumbstruck, unsure of what to do.
Yang Xiao quickly shouted,
"What are you dawdling for, don't you recognize a spider? Attack!"
