"Yes... yes..."
Ye Feng's reaction surprised He Tan. "Did Ye Feng not come here to go to the Divine Stone Experimental Base?"
"Is it in that direction?"
Ye Feng glanced at the arcane pointer on his left wrist, recalling the direction many explorers' vehicles had traveled yesterday, and guessed.
"That's right!"
He Tan nodded slightly, his expression serious. "Then... do you have a Tier 5 Low-Grade Zombie Virus Neutralizer, sir?"
"I do!"
Ye Feng was direct. With a flash of light in his hand, a metal syringe and a bottle of blue liquid appeared. It was indeed a Tier 5 Low-Grade Zombie Virus Neutralizer.
"Good!"
He Tan was also a decisive person. Seeing the crossed-out zombie logo and the words "Tier 5 Low-Grade" on the blue liquid, he nodded and handed the map of the Divine Stone Experimental Base to Ye Feng, while also accepting the syringe and virus neutralizer.
"Many explorers know about the Divine Stone Experimental Base, but few can enter it. Although there might be treasures left by the Divine Stone experiments there, it's exceptionally dangerous!"
"Take care, sir!"
He Tan said, then quickly left with his subordinates. Unconcealed joy was on his face, "A Nan, you're saved..."
...
"Let's go!"
After Ye Feng, Xiao Xiao, and Qiao Ying studied the map for a while, they got into the Humvee and drove towards the Divine Stone Experimental Base.
...
A few days later,
"Big Brother, according to the map He Tan gave us, this should be approximately the area where the Divine Stone Experimental Base is located!"
Xiao Xiao scanned the surroundings, checked the map for a moment, and then spoke to Ye Feng.
"Indeed, there are many more exploration teams in this vicinity!"
Qiao Ying chimed in.
...
Around noon,
"Boom!~"
After finishing lunch, the three were resting in the Humvee when suddenly, the ground not far away exploded. A large amount of gravel shattered and scattered, and a monster with a bull's head but walking upright emerged.
"Ah!!"
Seeing this, Xiao Xiao exclaimed, quickly pushed open the car door, and rushed over. This was because the ground where the monster appeared had Xiao Xiao's solar oven, which was currently charging.
"Whoosh~ Boom!"
"Bang!"
Xiao Xiao unleashed a stream of fire, instantly killing the monster.
"Thankfully, thankfully, the oven isn't broken... otherwise, I wouldn't be able to make toast and tarts!"
Xiao Xiao checked the solar oven, confirmed it was undamaged, and then stored it into her spatial rift bracelet, as she wasn't sure if there were other monsters around.
"Boom!~"
"Screech!~ Ah!"
"Damn it, watch out for the ground, there are monsters!"
"My God, the monsters have increased again!"
"Ah!~"
...
At this moment, monsters began to emerge from the ground and mountainsides around Ye Feng. Many explorers reacted too late, screaming before their breaths were extinguished... Some monsters dragged explorers into the ground...
"Thump~ Crackle!"
The ground beneath Ye Feng's feet vibrated, and a saber-toothed tiger with many tentacles lunged out. However, Ye Feng punched it back.
"Damn... this skull is really hard!"
Ye Feng was somewhat surprised. Although he hadn't used his arcane energy in that punch, it was enough to leave an imprint on a steel plate. Yet, the tentacled saber-toothed tiger's head didn't crack open...
"Rururu!"
The tentacled saber-toothed tiger struggled to bite Xiao Xiao. Ye Feng's eyes narrowed, and he delivered a heavy punch.
"Bang!~"
"Crack crack~!"
Ye Feng's punch directly fractured and caved in the tentacled saber-toothed tiger's skull, causing its body to fall rapidly into the hole it came from...
"The physical strength of this guy is almost comparable to the white armor of a Tier 5 Mid-Grade zombie..."
Ye Feng muttered, squatting down to investigate, as he noticed the space beneath the hole the tentacled saber-toothed tiger emerged from was quite large.
"Xiao Xiao, do you have any luminous gems? Bring some over!"
Ye Feng turned and asked Xiao Xiao.
"Oh, yes!"
Xiao Xiao liked shiny things, so she had collected quite a few diamonds, luminous gems, and similar items.
As soon as she spoke, Xiao Xiao took out several items resembling luminous pearls and threw them down the hole where the tentacled saber-toothed tiger had appeared...
"The space down here is quite large... are those fleeting figures monsters?"
Ye Feng observed for a while, then looked at Xiao Xiao and Qiao Ying. "This should be the Divine Stone Experimental Base. How about... we go in directly from here and take a look?"
"Big Brother, it smells so bad in there..."
Xiao Xiao frowned. Even the smell emanating from the hole made her cover her nose.
"Ye Feng, He Tan's map indicated the entrance is halfway up that mountain... Xiao Xiao and I will follow the map," Qiao Ying chimed in, pointing towards the mountain peak still some distance away. She clearly didn't agree with jumping directly into a dark, smelly pit.
"Uh... Xiao Xiao, you and Qiao Ying go to the entrance on the map. I'll go down and take a look!"
Ye Feng pondered for a moment and then said.
Possessing a Divine Stone in his spatial warehouse, he attached great importance to the Divine Stone Experimental Base. Coupled with the presence of many explorers at the scene, he didn't want anyone to get in before him...
"Okay!"
Xiao Xiao and Qiao Ying both responded in unison.
Ye Feng stored the Humvee into his spatial warehouse, nodded slightly at the two women, put on a gas mask, and then jumped directly into the hole where the tentacled saber-toothed tiger had emerged...
Not far from the three of Ye Feng,
"Holy shit, what kind of lunatic is that, jumping directly into the hole where monsters appear? Don't they know it's a monster nest in there?"
"Maybe they were dragged down by monsters? Some monsters here can turn invisible like chameleons, making them hard to guard against!"
"Stop the nonsense and focus on dealing with the monsters that appear!"
...
After Ye Feng jumped into the monster hole, Xiao Xiao and Qiao Ying exchanged glances and quickly ran towards the mountain peak ahead.
...
"Splash~ splash~"
"Pfft~ pfft!~"
After Ye Feng jumped into the underground hole the tentacled saber-toothed tiger had burst out of, he soon stepped onto muddy ground, the sound of water splashing accompanying his movement.
"So dark!"
Ye Feng frowned slightly. With a flash of light in his hand, several glow sticks appeared.
"What the hell is that?"
As soon as Ye Feng snapped and activated the glow sticks, he saw two rows of sharp white objects flying towards him at high speed.
"Bang!"
Ye Feng swung his fist, knocking away the opponent's sharp white objects.
"Damn... it's a big black gorilla... in the dark, its teeth look so white..."
As Ye Feng was surprised, a fierce wind suddenly came from behind him. It was another black gorilla with exceptionally white and sharp teeth, swinging its fists and smashing towards Ye Feng at high speed.
"Pfft!"
"Bang!"
Ye Feng turned to counter-attack, but his foot landed on the sodden mud, causing his body to tilt, and the gorilla's fist struck his face.
