Qiao Yu searched nearby, and sure enough, he found the bloody corpse of the yellow-skinned animal not far away.
He turned back to look at Tang Lan. Tang Lan's face was hidden in the hood of his sweater, and his expression could not be seen clearly.
Did she discover this place accidentally, or did she bring her here on purpose?
At this moment, Tang Lan spoke again.
"Do you really believe that old man said he was a Lakekeeper?"
"What else? Who else could he be?" Qiao Yu pretended to be dumbfounded.
Tang Lan opened his hood, revealing a somewhat pale face. The face was not very good-looking, and it was the type that would not be found if thrown into a crowd. However, there was a difference in coloring on the face and neck.
Tang Lan seemed to have seen through Qiao Yu's inner thoughts and spoke directly.
"I didn't skin this thing."
"Since we first entered this dungeon, people have been following us. This is also the reason why I have been silent."
Qiao Yu was silent for a while.
"Why are you telling me this?"
"Because you can use your body to deal with a scarecrow possessed by evil spirits."
Qiao Yu's eyes narrowed, and the flashing finger and tiger instantly appeared in his hand. He was already ready to take action.
Although Tang Lan is an intermediate-level wood mage, at such a close distance, he may not have a chance to kill her directly.
"Don't be nervous, I mean no harm."
Tang Lan waved her hand, and the surrounding trees and vines wrapped around her hand as if they were alive.
"My talent can communicate with plants, there are people following us, and you can physically deal with evil spirits Scarecrow, these plants told me."
"What is your purpose?" Qiao Yu asked.
"It's very simple. I want to cooperate with you to ensure that I can enter the Soul Discipline Lake." Tang Lan made no secret.
"Why did you choose me? Mi Yuan, Cao Shao, and any of them are stronger than me."
"Because, my wood species are not effective for mid-level players."
Tang Lan's expressionless face showed a smile for the first time.
At the same time, Qiao Yu felt that his body was full of vitality, and wisps of wood elements emerged from his body.
Qiao Yu's expression changed. He looked around and found that a small green seed had attached itself to his chest without knowing when.
And the rhizome has penetrated deeply into his own flesh and blood.
Qiao Yu tried to pull out the wood seed, but a deep pain immediately spread into Qiao Yu's mind, making him groan.
"Impossible. When did you take action?"
Qiao Yu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted!
"Huang Pizi! When you attacked Huang Pizi, you did it to plant this seed in me!"
"Yes, you are not too stupid. It seems that I made the right choice by choosing you." Tang Lan did not deny it.
Qiao Yu's face suddenly darkened, but luckily he kept thanking Tang Lan stupidly.
As expected, none of the players who can reach the mid-level level are fuel-efficient.
"You call this cooperation?" Qiao Yu asked, pointing to the wood seeds on his chest.
"Don't worry, as long as I can successfully enter the Soul Discipline Lake, I will let you go."
"And the wood species is not a slave contract. On the contrary, it is good for you. You can look at your skill bar." Tang Lan said.
Qiao Yu looked down and saw that there was indeed an extra skill in his skill bar.
"Wood Absorption": Level: Depends on the concentration of plant breath. The current level is B level.
Effect: Players can absorb the vitality of surrounding plants to restore their health. The richer the smell of the plants, the better the health recovery effect.
Looking at this extra skill, Qiao Yu couldn't be happy at all.
"Let's go, we should go back."
Tang Lan on the side has already packed up enough vines and is preparing to return to the camp.
"Be careful about that old man, he is the one who followed us."
Qiao Yu was silent all the way. This tree species was definitely not as simple as Tang Lan said, otherwise Tang Lan would not have bothered to plant it on himself.
The matter of the curse of the Drought Demon has not yet been resolved, and this brings about another parasitic tree species, as well as that bad old man who doesn't know what he wants to do.
There is really a wolf in front, a tiger in back, and a big red and angry crocodile in the middle.
The difficulty of the D-level dungeon was beyond his imagination. No wonder Ji Pingyang thought at first that he would die if he entered.
After returning to the camp, Tang Lan put down the vines, still looking taciturn.
Qin Qianxue and others did not become suspicious, after all, Tang Lan had been like this since he entered the dungeon.
On the contrary, it was Qiao Yu's expression that made Qin Qianxue a little worried.
"What's wrong, Qiao Yu, you look ugly, are you feeling unwell?"
Qiao Yu: "It's okay. It's just that I met a very bad person who deceived me. Except for Pi Yanzi, that person was full of evil intentions."
Tang Lan: "..."
She took a deep breath and walked a little further silently.
If she continued to stay here, she was afraid that if she couldn't bear it, she would kill Qiao Yu now.
"It's fine."
Qin Qianxue smiled like a flower and stretched out her hand to rub Qiao Yu's hair like a big sister next door.
"You are still young and have not come into contact with many people. Once you come into contact with more people, you will not be deceived again."
"Speaking of which, my nephew is about the same age as you. I'll introduce you to him when I have time. You should be able to become good friends."
nephew?
Qiao Yu had a bad feeling and asked cautiously.
"Sister Qianxue, what is your nephew's name?"
"My nephew, his name is quite nice, his name is..."
"Qianxue!"
Mi Yuan's shout interrupted Qin Qianxue's introduction.
"Qianxue, come here quickly and see if the corn ribs soup is so neat. Do you put coriander in it?"
"coming!"
Qin Qianxue showed an apologetic smile towards Qiao Yu.
"I'll go over and help Mi Yuan first, and I'll introduce you to her next time I'm free."
With the help of Qin Qianxue and Mi Yuan, a table of delicious food was served to them.
Cao Shao and Wu Chengfu on the other side also built two simple shelters.
The six people who had been tensing up in the Soul-Removing Rainforest finally felt a sense of relaxation that they had not seen for a long time.
"Sister Qianxue, your craftsmanship is so good!"
Qiao Yu praised him while eating. He couldn't solve anything now anyway, so he might as well relax his mind and at least become a dead ghost after eating.
"Eat as much as you like, it doesn't matter." Qin Qianxue responded with a smile.
While eating, Qiao Yu suddenly felt a sharp murderous aura and shuddered.
When he looked up, he found Mi Yuan staring at him coldly.
He quickly filled a large bowl of pork rib soup. Looking at the lethal amount of coriander floating in the soup, Qiao Yu drank it with her eyes closed as if drinking Chinese medicine.
"Sister Mi Yuan, the soup you make is also delicious!"
Qiao Yu sighed inwardly, as expected, you can't just praise one woman!
"Be good, if it tastes good, drink more."
Mi Yuan smiled and served Qiao Yu another bowl of soup. Qiao Yu's face turned green.
Had dinner.
After placing some dry velvet on the ground, two simple large beds are completed.
Qin Qianxue clapped her hands and said.
"Okay, you men have a shelter, and we ladies have one. We have things to do tomorrow. Good night!"
Qin Qianxue turned around and got into the shelter on the right.
Cao Shao said nothing, looked at Qiao Yu coldly, and then walked into the shelter on the left with Wu Chengfu.
In a blink of an eye, Qiao Yu was the only one left on the men's side, standing outside blowing the cold wind.
How could Qiao Yu dare to sleep with Cao Shao and the others? She would be cut into pieces in the middle of the night without even knowing it.
Just when Tang Lan was about to enter the shelter on the right, Qiao Yu grabbed her.
