Chapter 153 153: Turning Pages Faster Than Turning Faces

The Iron Black Pot had already discovered the advantages of his body, so he planned to fly above everyone else for long-range reconnaissance and pathfinding.Sea Flip glanced eastward: "Let's head east, then, shall we?"

With those words, Sea Flip immediately dashed impatiently towards the east.

The others quickly followed suit.

Upon reaching the seaside, the Iron Black Pot was still observing from high above, while Wangzai Little Buns flew at a lower altitude, constantly adjusting and adapting his body.

As for the four in the water, including Sea Flip, they were swimming.

After a while, the Iron Black Pot descended from the sky and shouted to everyone: "Brothers, there's a small island ahead, full of trees. Let's go take a look."

With that, the Iron Black Pot immediately led the way in flight.

With his intentionally slowed pace, the four swimming in the sea, including Sea Flip, had no difficulty keeping up with him.

This island was not large, only about one-twentieth the size of the Underground City island.

The coast was lined with reefs, while the island was densely packed with tall trees, stretching out and covering the entire island.

Wangzai Little Buns was the first to fly to the forest's edge on the island, curiously observing the towering trees.

The smallest of these trees required at least one person to hug, while the largest needed five or six people.

Each tree ranged from tens of meters to a hundred meters tall, and by any realistic measure, it would be considered a primeval forest.

"It's quite beautiful." The Caged Parrot arrived in front of a tree full of pure white blossoms, gazing in a bit of a daze.

The Iron Black Pot patted the Caged Parrot on the shoulder: "Parrot, we're not on a holiday; we have a proper task to do. Stop staring, let's go in and investigate together."

The Caged Parrot gave a dissatisfied glance at the Iron Black Pot: "No sense of fun at all, fine, let's go in."

With those words, the Caged Parrot drew the curved knife hanging from her waist and was the first to step into the forest.

The other players quickly drew their weapons and followed her in.

The forest was hard to traverse because there were many thorny vines strung between the trees.

Fortunately, the players present were not ordinary people, especially the Caged Parrot in the lead. Her body was like diamond, and these thorny vines couldn't harm her at all.

She easily cut a path through with her curved knife.

The players soon ventured deep into the forest.

There were a number of small animals living here, which scattered in all directions upon being startled by the Caged Parrot.

The Iron Black Pot flew above everyone, constantly taking in the surroundings. Unfortunately, the thick foliage of the trees and vegetation obstructed his view, limiting him to what he could see nearby.

Sea Flip waved the cleaver in his hand, cutting through a swath of plants, and said somewhat boredly, "Seems like just a mediocre little island, probably nothing valuable."

The Caged Parrot nodded in agreement, saying, "Indeed, everything here seems quite mundane. If we clear a path straight through, we'll reach the other side of the island."

"Then let's continue east. I don't think it's worth wasting time here."

Just as the Caged Parrot finished her statement, countless vines suddenly emerged from the surrounding ground, wrapping towards them.

These vines were much thicker than the normal ones around, appearing particularly daunting.

And that was just the beginning.

The seemingly ordinary trees around the players suddenly came alive, branches growing wildly and ferociously swinging at the players present, accompanied by a piercing sound of air being torn.

This caused the players' expressions to change, and they hurriedly struck against the attacks coming their way.

Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching slashed a vine that was wrapping around him with a sword, then backhanded another slash, a wave of death energy cutting down a branch, his gaze fixed in the distance.

"There's a magic power fluctuation 800 meters to our front left. We didn't notice it before, indicating the other party is at least a high-level mage."

Fang Ka had recently updated quite a lot about this world's background and settings on the website, so the players were aware of the mage-related matters.

As for the perception settings, in a game that used brainwave technology to pursue realism and freedom in all aspects, such a setup was perfectly reasonable. Players were very satisfied with this setting.

Of course, they couldn't perceive Fang Ka's magic waves; Fang Ka had used a soul contract to shield himself from them.

He definitely couldn't let these players detect that he was just a low-tier mage, or the sense of grandeur and mystery he had created would evaporate.

However, although the players couldn't sense Fang Ka, they had no issues perceiving other creatures.

Now, upon hearing Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching's words, the Iron Black Pot narrowed his eyes, looking over there: "Xiao Mantou, get ready to charge with me and execute a beheading strategy."

Wangzai Little Buns twirled two daggers in his hands as he easily cut down the encroaching branches and vines, then nodded: "Alright, when you charge, I'll follow along."

The Caged Parrot rolled away from an encroaching vine, then slashed down a branch: "Flip, you're such a crow's mouth, look what you've done now?"

Sea Flip wielded the cleaver madly: "Parrot, don't do that. You just agreed with me earlier; you're changing your mind faster than a book turned to another page, destroying my bridge after we've crossed the river. That's not fair."

The Caged Parrot, death energy coating her curved knife, swung the long blade as she said, "Enough, less chatter, let's create an opportunity for Black Pot and Little Buns to charge through together."

The Chubby Orange Cat, with a face full of resentment, used his long sharp claws to scratch through the surrounding branches and vines.

He felt that fighting this way was really low class.

But he didn't have much choice, given that this skin he acquired didn't allow him to wield weapons in battle.

Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching, the Caged Parrot, the Chubby Orange Cat, and Sea Flip soon gathered together.

They crazily attacked the surrounding vines near Wangzai Little Buns and the Iron Black Pot, creating an opening for the two.

Seizing the opportunity, Wangzai Little Buns and the Iron Black Pot sprang out of the enclosing trees, sprinting toward the location Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching had indicated.

But just as the two charged out, the trees ahead suddenly uprooted, their roots moving swiftly on the ground like feet.
