Du Rongrong's mouth was full of grease. She held the roast meat in her hands and ate it in big mouthfuls. It was really delicious! Du Rongrong was born into a wealthy family and had been exceptionally picky since she was young. She had tasted all kinds of delicacies from all over the world. Those delicacies that had been prepared through complicated cooking techniques could not be compared to a piece of roasted meat that was casually roasted with fire and sprinkled with some salt!
Leng Yun sat on a rock. Her curves were unmistakable, and her round buttocks were like a ripe peach. At this moment, she seemed to have lost interest in the delicious roast meat. Her bright eyes stared at the entrance of the cave as if she was waiting for something.
A few minutes later, Zhang Mu returned with a bundle of pine trees.
Leng Yun heaved a sigh of relief. She saw Lin Caiyan tailing Zhang Mu and leaving the cave. Lin Caiyan, she had been paying attention to since she had just joined the team. Her appearance was not much inferior to hers. Her seductive appearance was like a coquettish vixen. She couldn't help but worry. Fortunately, Lin Caiyan returned not long after she left.
"Here you go." Leng Yun handed Zhang Mu a piece of roasted meat and asked,"Are you…okay?"
Zhang Mu sat down in front of the bonfire as if nothing had happened. He let the warm flames surround his body and filled it with a few firewood." Nothing."
Leng Yun didn't believe her, but she didn't ask further. She secretly glanced in Lin Caiyan's direction and was a little wary. She had never felt anything like this before, like a child who had a favorite and precious toy, and who suddenly had another bad child on his radar, who could steal it at any moment, and who had to be extremely cautious and careful.
"Cough cough cough…"
Du Rongrong ate too fast and choked until she coughed. Her cute little face was flushed red from suffocation.
Zhang Mu took the kettle and handed it over." No one is snatching it. Don't eat so fast."
"Thank you!" Du Rongrong gulped down a few mouthfuls of water and gulped down two mouthfuls." Delicious, so delicious…Rongrong couldn't believe how delicious an ordinary piece of roasted meat could be! Brother Wood, do you still have such meat?"
"Little girl, don't be greedy." Leng Yun couldn't help but knock her. She said in a gentle tone," There are plenty of food to fill our stomachs. The value of this food is that it can restore health points. This is a very precious resource. We may encounter more dangerous battles, so we must use it when we need it. We can't be greedy and eat it all."
Du Rongrong felt very sorry.
"It doesn't matter. After we leave the forest and stand firm, we will definitely have a chance to find more food. This is only F+ grade food. I believe that the higher the grade of food, the better the effect and taste." Zhang Mu comforted Du Rongrong and then asked casually,"Right, Rongrong is from Jiang City? Have you been living with Uncle?"
Du Rongrong shook her head and said," I'm not from Jiang City. My parents have gone abroad on business. They won't be back for at least half a year. That's why I stayed by Uncle's side."
Zhang Mu nodded.
Du Rongrong's eyes lit up when she saw the little dinosaur behind Zhang Mu. She reached out to hug Black Claw." Brother Blockhead, your little dragon is so cute."
"Hiss!"
Black Claw didn't appreciate it. It screamed twice but couldn't scare Du Rongrong away. It jumped up and bit Du Rongrong's lotus-like arm. Du Rongrong let out a cry and retracted her hand. Her fair skin had been bitten by the black claw, and a little blood flowed out. It was only a small injury, but it basically did not cause any damage. It did not take long for the bleeding to stop and recover.
"Aiya, how can it bite people!" "I just wanted to hug you," Du Rongrong cried out indignantly."Why are you being so fierce?"
Fatty laughed."Fortunately, Black Claw hasn't grown up. Otherwise, Deinonychus would have eaten that little arm in one bite!"
Zhang Mu lifted Black Claw and put it aside." Black Claw is a battle beast. It's quite human. It's not familiar with everyone now, which is why it's aggressive. After a long time, it will adapt."
"This little thing has such a violent personality!" Du Rongrong took out a knife and cut off a small piece of meat. She handed it over." Come, try this piece of meat."
Black Claw sniffed the alluring fragrance and stared at Du Rongrong. He approached her carefully and suddenly pounced on her. He bit the roast meat and ran to the side. He held the meat in his two small claws and ate it in small bites. Black Claw was still in its infancy and did not have much aggression. It had a big head, a small body, dark skin, and clear eyes, just like a doll.
Chen Ling and Leng Yun also revealed expressions of liking.
Du Rongrong burst into laughter and shook her slender legs non-stop."The little dinosaur is too cute. It's so cute!" I want to find one too!"
Zhang Mu smiled bitterly and said," Beast eggs aren't something that drops easily. However, if a Silver Elite can drop them, it means that they aren't too rare. Sooner or later, you will have one that belongs to you." My Black Claw is an Elite Combat Beast, and an Elite Combat Beast is the lowest tier among all Combat Beasts."
Chen Ling asked,"Can't the grade of the battle beast be upgraded?"
" I'm not too sure about this…I think there's a way to improve it." Zhang Mu couldn't act like he understood everything, so he deliberately answered vaguely. There was a way to raise the quality of a warbeast, but the difficulty was not small.
Du Rongrong gave Black Claw a piece of meat, and Black Claw's attitude towards her improved a lot. However, he still refused to let Du Rongrong touch it. Zhang Mu looked at Du Rongrong's vexed expression and could not help but smile. He ordered Black Claw not to move, and Du Rongrong touched Black Claw's head as she wished.
"Hiss!"
Black Claw let out two cries and threw it aside like lightning, hiding behind Zhang Mu.
"Hahahaha…fun, fun!"
Du Rongrong chased after Black Claw and started fighting in the cave.
Her lively and cute appearance made the haze in everyone's hearts fade a little.
Du Rongrong was a kind and beautiful girl, but Du Yunfeng was a cold-blooded and cunning ambitious man.
Du Yunfeng treated Du Rongrong kindly on the surface, like a gentle elder. Zhang Mu had a different feeling. Du Yunfeng had sent Du Rongrong to the vanguard team. When Lei Ming encountered danger, he did not feel rescued immediately. This explained the problem very much. However, Du Yunfeng's acting skills were impeccable, and no one could tell anything was wrong. Du Rongrong herself felt that her uncle doted on her, so she especially supported him.
Perhaps Du Yunfeng thought that Du Rongrong was just a chess piece.
Zhang Mu understood Du Yunfeng more and more deeply. This person was shrewd and a very dangerous person.
...…
The next morning, the team continued west.
"It's too dangerous for a large group of people to travel through the jungle." Du Yunfeng said,"I suggest that we form a vanguard team with a few experienced people as before. Captain Lei Ming, how about you lead the team?"
"Naturally, there is no problem." Lei Ming's expression did not change. He replied," We've basically run out of bullets. Therefore, we need to find a few skilled and experienced people as support to ensure the safety of the vanguard soldiers."
Du Yunfeng nodded and said,"Of course. What do you think of Scorpion?"
Lei Ming glanced at Scorpion behind Du Yuntao. Scorpion was still silent. Everything in the world had nothing to do with him.
"I think Brother Zhang Mu is suitable."
Du Yunfeng didn't have time to speak. Zhang Mu walked out and said," That's good. It's still too late for me to join the team. I don't have time to contribute to everyone. Why don't I take this opportunity to join the vanguard team and open the way for everyone?"
"Brother Zhang Mu is indeed warm-hearted," Lei Ming laughed.
Du Yunfeng frowned slightly and couldn't find a reason to refuse. He thought for a moment and said,"Lin Caiyan is a priest. She has two recovery skills that can ensure the safety of soldiers. You should join the vanguard team."
Leng Yun immediately stood up and said," I have three damage skills. Elementalists are the main damage output. I want to join them."
"There's still me, there's still me!" Du Rongrong stood up impatiently.
Fatty and Sun Bing also offered to join the vanguard team, but they were rejected by Zhang Mu. They even rejected Lei Ming's other warriors. A team of five people was enough. Zhang Mu, Lei Ming, Leng Yun, Du Rongrong, and Lin Caiyan had damage output, defense, support, and healing. They basically met the requirements of a team.
The five of them formed a team and immediately set off towards the north.
The overall strength of this team was not weak. Zhang Mu was a relatively powerful output player, and at the same time, he was a relatively versatile character. Lei Ming was a Shield Warrior and had a decent shield. Shield Warriors 'defense was better than most classes. They didn't have Taunt skills and their equipment was slightly inferior. Lei Ming was stronger than Sun in every aspect, especially in terms of combat awareness and skills.
It went without saying that Cold Rhyme possessed an excellent black iron staff. She also possessed three attack skills,[Acid Bullet],[Wind Blade], and [Ice Arrow]. The damage was considerable, and there was also a Priest skill [Healing Hand] that had no cooldown.
Lin Caiyan was specially arranged by Du Yunfeng. There was no way or reason to stop Zhang Mu from joining the team. Therefore, Lin Caiyan was used to get close to Zhang Mu. At the same time, she could also be used as a spy to prevent Lei Ming and Zhang Mu from secretly getting together. Lin Caiyan's abilities weren't bad. She had two skills.
[Suture LV1], F-rank skill, highest level LV3, causes the target to recover 10 HP, and recovers 2 HP every second for the next 10 seconds, while healing wounds. 3 MP consumed, cooldown 90 seconds.
[Hemostasis LV1], F-rank skill, maximum level LV3, recovers 20 HP at a time, heals wounds at the same time, consumes 3 MP, cooldown time 120 seconds.
These were two low-level healing spells, and they could not be compared to Leng Yun's Healing Hand. However, in the early stages, when people's health points were low, they were a rather practical skill.
Lei Ming said,"Is five really enough? Why don't I call a few brothers over earlier?"
Zhang Mu shook his head and said," Our mission is to find out the way forward for the team. There's no need to be overly bloated."
The five of them set off and traveled through the forest for about half an hour.
Suddenly, a roar came from the front.
The voice was very deep and raised a flock of birds.
Leng Yun was slightly cold." You met a monster so quickly?"
Zhang Mu closed his eyes and listened carefully. From the sounds, he could tell that there were more than one monster, at least five of them. One of them was the sound of a Deinonychus, and there were at least several Deinonychus in front of it.
