Chapter 439 Gathering Combat Power

They immediately seized a large number of plants, tied them all together, and dragged them back to their tribe.

The people in the tribe were amazed to see these plants; they had never imagined anyone could bring them all back.

For these natives, they had seen these plants before, but they had always been impossible to capture. They had already designated that area as a forbidden zone. Yet, Jiang Fan and Yao, relying on their wits, managed to bring all these plants back.

"A simple task, completed."

After restraining all the plants, Jiang Fan instructed Zhou Niannian to tame them. However, Jiang Fan had already disabled their offensive capabilities beforehand. For instance, with the man-eating plants, Jiang Fan had tied a bandage around their mouths to prevent them from opening.

"You guys have it easy; the rest of everything will depend on Daimei and me."

"But given your sincerity, I'll help you get this done."

Zhou Niannian was also very arrogant, confident that only she could accomplish this task.

Seeing this, Jiang Fan smiled helplessly. Indeed, only Zhou Niannian could handle this now.

"That would be greatly appreciated. We'll leave this to you. We're going to rest. We've been busy all day, and it's already a miracle that we're back alive. We're not in the mood to mess around anymore."

To be honest, Yao and Jiang Fan had been busy for most of the day, finally managing to capture these plants. It was worth noting that these plants possessed formidable combat power. In the jungle, both of them had nearly lost their lives. If their combat strength hadn't been absolutely necessary, they wouldn't have risked their lives for such a dangerous undertaking.

Fortunately, they had finally managed to capture these plants, which would offer them some safety during their battles with the wild beasts.

However, after completing this task, they had another mission for the next day: to deploy these plants in specific locations.

Since these plants had limited mobility, they needed to be placed in specific spots to provide maximum protection.

"Tomorrow we have to check out the cave entrance. Are you ready? Those beasts are not like these plants; they will chase us. We'll need to conceal ourselves well, or we could be killed at any moment."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan slowly shook his head. Yao, worried that Jiang Fan might forget, had said this. Jiang Fan smiled and replied,

"What else can we do now? We can only take them all down, or we'll never escape this place. We've been stuck on this Golden Coast for too long. If we don't clear it soon, we might die here."

"Look at how many NPCs this place has generated for us."

It was important to note that the people in this tribe were all fictional characters, generated from various locations on the Golden Coast. They were not truly existing people but possessed a certain human consciousness, merely existing. They lacked complex thought processes.

Otherwise, seeing Jiang Fan and Yao's fighting styles, they wouldn't have been so astonished.

At this moment, Jiang Fan felt helpless. Looking at Yao, who was covered in wounds after a day of fighting, the two men could only apply medicine to each other's bodies.

"We can't let anyone see us doing this. If they see, they'll think we have some kind of relationship. I don't want anyone to misunderstand me as some strange person. I need to preserve my chastity."

Hearing this, Yao couldn't help but burst into laughter. By now, Yao and Jiang Fan had become close brothers, sharing everything with each other.

"Don't worry, no one will see us doing this in secret. If they found out, they'd be scared to death."

After saying this, the two of them burst into laughter. Unexpectedly, Jiang Fan and Daimei returned at that moment. They opened the door and found the two men rubbing each other's backs.

"What are you two doing? I can't believe two grown men like you are doing something like this. It's unbelievable."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan quickly pulled his clothes back and, with an embarrassed expression, said to Jiang Fan.

"Wait, don't misunderstand. I absolutely didn't mean that. You must have made a mistake."

"The reason I was applying medicine with Yao was purely because we were both injured."

After hearing this, Zhou Niannian and Daimei hurriedly walked out.

Both of them seemed very embarrassed.

"This is too awkward. I don't know what they were doing. Let's go quickly; we can't stay here with them any longer."

After saying this, the two immediately left.

Jiang Fan and Yao exchanged helpless glances and sighed with resignation.

"Forget it, let's not bother with this. The more we explain, the more confusing it will get. We'd better just treat our wounds quickly. Otherwise, if they see us continuing like this, they'll probably still say we're strange."

After Jiang Fan spoke, the two of them continued to apply medicine to their backs.

The next day, Jiang Fan and Yao woke up early. The earlier they started, the better they could infiltrate the cave. Otherwise, if the beasts saw them, they wouldn't have a chance to survive.

Following the instructions of the natives, the two arrived at the outer perimeter of the cave. The area around the cave was a sheer cliff. Looking at the sky-piercing cliffs, there was a pit at the bottom. The interior of this pit was the mysterious cave they had spoken of.
