"It looks like... something flew past!"
"A monster?"
"No... it looks like those two girls..."
The three mercenaries in the back of the truck exchanged glances.
"Drive faster, don't let them get away... lost!"
Huizi initially wanted to say "don't let them get away," but then she remembered Zhang Mo was still in the car. She quickly added "lost" after "get away," making it sound somewhat concerned.
"I know, but this road is full of potholes, it's not like we're on the highway. We're off-roading, and this is already pretty good!"
The burly mercenary driving complained with a frown.
"Besides... they won't run too far!"
As he spoke, he winked at Huizi in the direction of Zhang Mo in the back seat.
He meant that these two were sisters. Even if they discovered something unusual, they wouldn't abandon their younger brother.
Moreover, if they really found anything strange, they should be running towards the high walls, not towards their own destination.
Huizi understood the driver's meaning and couldn't help but nod.
Although she understood the logic, a trace of anxiety still lingered on her face.
After all, when she contacted the people from the Supreme Being, she mentioned three children. If only one child was delivered at the end, it might be difficult to explain.
The people from the Supreme Being had almost zero tolerance for failure, so absolutely no mistakes could be made.
Meanwhile, Xiaobai and Moran were both giving their all to win the race.
Moran's strength lay in setting traps using various terrains and using silk and poison mist to kill prey. In terms of physical strength alone, she was indeed no match for Xiaobai.
Therefore, without any suspense, Xiaobai won the race.
However, the gap between them was not large; Xiaobai was only ahead of Moran by the length of an arm.
"I'm first!"
Xiaobai jumped up excitedly, feeling happier than winning an Olympic gold medal.
"Hmph, you only led me by a little. I was slow at the start. It's not certain who will win next time!"
Moran said indignantly.
"Ha, we started at the same time, but you're just not as fast as me. This is a short distance. Next time, let's see who reaches that big mountain first. I'll definitely be far ahead of you!"
Xiaobai pointed at the distant mountains.
"Fine, let's race. Who's afraid of whom..."
Moran's words trailed off as she suddenly made a shushing gesture.
Xiaobai also sensed something unusual at the same time and immediately fell silent.
The two girls quickly leaped onto the branches of the giant tree, hid behind the huge leaves, and quietly watched in the direction of the sound.
"Roar!"
Seven or eight monsters, five stories tall, were wandering in the forest, as if searching for prey.
Not far behind them, the corpses of several faceless ones lay on the ground, their heads eaten off.
These monsters were covered in thick, tough fur like chainmail, with curled, steel-wool-like hairs.
Their mouths were full of sharp teeth, their eyes were red, and they had two slightly backward-curving horns on their heads.
Name: Fangbeast
Level: Mutant Type VIII
Skills:
[Charge and Gore]: Charges at the target at high speed, simultaneously goring the target with its horns, inflicting triple damage of impact, piercing, and laceration.
[Tough Hide]: Soft yet tough fur and hide can absorb most physical/energy damage.
Of course, Xiaobai and Moran could not see the information about the Fangbeasts. However, the moment they saw the monster's appearance, the two girls couldn't help but exchange glances!
Thick fur, two sharp horns, four legs...
"It's... a sheep!"
The joy on the faces of the two girls was evident!
"Wow, such a big sheep. No wonder we always have plenty of mutton!"
"This time, we'll catch a few live sheep to take back. Uncle Qingfeng will be so surprised!"
"Not just Uncle Qingfeng, I think everyone will be surprised. They definitely wouldn't have imagined we could be so capable and already help find prey!"
"I believe Dad will also praise us when he finds out!"
The two girls became happier as they spoke, as if they could already see the astonished looks on people's faces when they brought these "big sheep" back into the high-walled city.
"Then... let's have another race. Let's see who catches more sheep before the pickup truck arrives here!"
Moran suggested.
"That's not fair. You have silk to tie up the sheep you catch, but I don't. If I catch a sheep, I have to hold it with both hands, so I can't catch any more sheep!"
Xiaobai complained with a pout.
"How about this, I'll give you a ball of silk to tie up sheep. Is that fair enough!"
Moran said, spitting out a large ball of silk and winding it into a ball before handing it to Xiaobai.
"I've processed this silk. As soon as you pull it out and wrap it around prey, it will become incredibly tough. That way, we're even, right!"
"That sounds more like it. Let's start quickly!"
Xiaobai smiled and nodded.
The two girls counted down 3, 2, 1!
Then they leaped down from their hiding spot on the tree branch together.
Moran swung through the air with the help of her silk and began rapidly setting up silk traps.
Xiaobai didn't have such trouble. After leaving the branch, she clenched her small fists and smashed directly at the head of the nearest Fangbeast.
Bang!
A loud noise echoed.
The huge Fangbeast was directly slammed headfirst into the ground, its body flipping high up, its massive form rolling tens of meters across the ground.
Since being injured by Xu Linna last time, Xiaobai's strength had grown even further after she woke up again.
The stronger the enemy, the faster she grew!
"Ha, little sheep, aren't you going to surrender?"
Xiaobai said triumphantly.
"Roar~!"
The other Fangbeasts saw Xiaobai and sensed the powerful energy within her. Like they had encountered a plump prey, they all roared and charged forward.
"Hey, silly sheep, come chase me. I'm delicious too!"
Moran lightly landed on the back of a Fangbeast and gently patted it.
A stream of green dust instantly dispersed.
"Roar!"
The Fangbeast roared and was about to counterattack, but suddenly stumbled and fell onto a spider web that Moran had prepared earlier.
Her control over the poison was precise, ensuring it could weaken the Fangbeast's combat ability without killing it.
After all, if its meat was full of poison, it probably wouldn't taste good!
On the other side, the pickup truck was struggling to advance on the bumpy road.
"There's fighting in the forest ahead! Damn it, drive faster! Don't let those two girls get eaten by monsters!"
Huizi blurted out curses in her haste.
As soon as the words left her mouth, she realized her mistake and quickly looked back at Zhang Mo.
She saw him pouting and saying huffily:
"You're not my mom at all! My mom never scolds people!"
With that, he raised his small fist.
