270: Chapter 270 Treasure Land 40

The Maintenance worker in a faded leather jacket hadn't realized at all that the monsters that had just been chasing them were actually the same species as the Mutated Mandrills they had encountered in the forest earlier. Hearing this, he couldn't help but feel surprised.

He couldn't help but mutter, "They are much fiercer than the Mutated Mandrills outside. The ones outside just wanted to drive us out of their territory, but this bunch wants to kill us all…"

"Perhaps the Mutated Mandrills outside knew we were coming here and deliberately saved us as food for these Mutated Mandrills?" The Doctor with a low ponytail had no affection for the Mutated Mandrills outside and was full of vigilance regarding their irrational behavior.

Hearing this, the Maintenance worker in a faded leather jacket was startled and scratched his head. "That can't be right, are those beasts really that smart?"

As he spoke, he began to ponder, "I don't know why the bunch that was chasing us suddenly ran away. Based on their posture earlier, I thought we were in for another tough fight."

The question he raised was also a source of doubt for the Doctor with a low ponytail and the Plump Boss. After all, judging by the ferocity in the eyes of those Mutated Mandrills earlier, they didn't seem like the type to let them go halfway.

But they were not those Mutated Mandrills, after all, and didn't know what their true intentions were.

However, since they were retracing their steps, they at least didn't have to worry that they had stumbled into the territory of an even more terrifying creature, which would have caused the Mutated Mandrills to leave on their own. Therefore, the Doctor with a low ponytail and the Plump Boss were not overly panicked.

The three of them discussed their next strategy for a while. Suddenly, the expression of the Doctor with a low ponytail changed. She frowned and whispered, "How could this be?"

"What?" The Plump Boss looked at her. Seeing the expression on the face of the Doctor with a low ponytail, he guessed that she might have seen something from her mouse prop and couldn't help but ask, "What did you see?"

The eyebrows of the Doctor with a low ponytail furrowed, her expression solemn. "My mouse prop has been following those few Mutated Mandrills. I can see that in this Treasure Site, dozens of those Mutated Mandrills are pouring out from the side paths one after another, and the number is still increasing. I don't know how many Mutated Mandrills there are in this place!"

Her eyes seemed to be looking at something, and her brow furrowed deeper and deeper. "They seem to be… heading in the same direction?"

Hearing this news, the Plump Boss and the Maintenance worker in a faded leather jacket realized the situation was wrong and both stood up immediately.

The Maintenance worker in a faded leather jacket had a nervous expression. "What's going on? Where are they heading? They aren't trying to block us, are they?"

The Doctor with a low ponytail shook her head, her expression a mix of solemnity and confusion. "No, they seem to be heading towards the east side of the entire Treasure Site."

"There must be something extraordinary over there," the Plump Boss judged. He looked at the other two players. "We need to go over and take a look."

The Maintenance worker in a faded leather jacket was still hesitant; after all, they had all witnessed the ferocity of those Mutated Mandrills.

But the Doctor with a low ponytail had already nodded. "Let's go. I suspect this might be the work of that white-haired woman. Perhaps the final treasure is about to appear."

Since the two veteran players had already made the decision, the Maintenance worker in a faded leather jacket naturally had no possibility of refusing.

He had no choice but to follow the two veteran players, move the debris blocking the door again, and then open the door. With the Doctor with a low ponytail leading the way, the group quickly headed in the direction the Mutated Mandrills were moving.

…

At this time, Luo Yuejian had already strolled to an unknown corner.

It had been an hour since she left the space with the pool filled with black liquid.

At this very moment, Luo Yuejian could vaguely feel a slight craving beginning to emerge for that charming aroma of wine in the air.

That craving was similar to someone who had been thirsty for a whole day suddenly seeing a clear spring. She could barely restrain it, but the craving was indeed present.

Luo Yuejian felt that it probably wouldn't be long before she returned to the state she was in when she first smelled this wine aroma.

It was time to go back.

Thinking this, Luo Yuejian immediately turned around and headed back the way she came.

The aroma of wine in the air acted like some kind of guide, leading Luo Yuejian back along the original path without a single misstep.

However, something had gotten there before her.

Luo Yuejian hid around the corner, watching one, two, and then swarms of black-furred, unknown monsters squeezing into the hidden passage she had opened, her mind full of question marks.

What the hell are these monsters? Where did they pop out from?

Luo Yuejian was truly shocked. She had been in this Treasure Site for at least nearly two days, wandering around aimlessly the whole time, and hadn't seen any living creatures in this Treasure Site other than herself at all.

How did so many strange black-furred creatures suddenly pop up?

Looking at the number of these guys, there must be at least dozens, right? Could it be that they all crawled out from underground?

Luo Yuejian was feeling a bit anxious inside right now.

Because she really wanted to get to that pool filled with black wine liquid quickly.

Actually, rationally speaking, if that group of black-furred monsters kept blocking the passage, once Luo Yuejian lost her sanity later because of that black wine liquid, she would definitely charge forward mindlessly.

When that happened, if she rushed in front of those black-furred monsters, she would definitely be torn to pieces in an instant.

But emotionally speaking, Luo Yuejian really wanted to get to that pool filled with black wine liquid right now!

Damn it, the rich aroma of wine in the air was simply seducing her. Luo Yuejian was feeling restless and agitated, wanting to taste whether that black wine liquid was as fragrant as it smelled.

As for the little bit of black liquid in her water bottle, it had already been mostly consumed while she was leaving marks bit by bit earlier. By the time she finally decided to come back, she had poured out all the remaining liquid in the bottle at once.

Thinking about it now, Luo Yuejian really wanted to slap herself. She should have at least saved a sip for herself!

She turned her back, trying to suppress the craving in her heart.

And just as she turned around, she was astonished to see three players rushing over, covered in dust, at the corner of the passage ahead.

Holy crap, so there are other players alive in this round?!

Oh wait, if all the other players were dead, she would have already achieved victory through the pity mechanism. Luo Yuejian had forgotten about that.

However, these three players were quite impressive. It's unknown how they found this place.

It wasn't just Luo Yuejian who was surprised; the three players who saw the white-haired figure ahead also had looks of surprise in their eyes. Immediately, all three of them stopped in their tracks vigilantly, not daring to step any closer.

The Maintenance worker in a faded leather jacket trembled. "Wh-wh-why is she here too? She's not here to catch me, is she?"
