Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 521 - 358: Fan Meetup - Cleverly Hidden Teleportation!

Seeing the monkey statue casually pull out the bolt, Zhao Xiaochuan’s mouth twitched slightly.

This doesn’t hurt at all!

Was it not deep enough?

Or is the statue’s weak spot different this time, not the chest?

He glanced back at Wen Guixin and Wang Lei’s direction and saw they were already running outside from another direction that wasn’t surrounded by statues, planning to meet up with the others outside.

"...I should head out, too."

He began weaving through the group of statues, even occasionally touching them a couple of times.

Soon, he overtook the two of them and arrived at the edge of the giant pit.

He immediately shot his grappling hook, piercing the pit wall, then pulled himself up and released his ability.

The five people standing at the pit’s edge were nervously observing Wen Guixin and Wang Lei as they ran outwards.

Fortunately, the statues in the pit didn’t seem to have a strong desire to attack.

Even their walking was somewhat slow, and they watched the two run in the pit without any intention of chasing, just stared, took a couple of steps, then stopped again.

It feels as if they’re being forcefully controlled, not initiating an attack.

This made the few people at the edge of the pit slightly relieved.

For now, there’s no immediate danger.

At that moment, everyone suddenly noticed Zhao Xiaochuan had somehow already come to their side.

"Yip!" Keke squealed, nearly falling off Xu Xin’s shoulder, but quickly scrambled up with his tiny claws.

Lou Fei’Er almost drew her knife to slash, but seeing it was a person, she lowered the hand she had placed on her waist.

Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang’s pupils shrank.

This guy’s ability is really...

If he were an assassin, he’d be incredibly strong; the opponent wouldn’t even have reacted before experiencing ’white knife in, red knife out.’

"Wow, when did you get here?" Li Wenxi was also startled, her almond eyes widening, "We didn’t even notice at all!"

"Haha, just climbed up!" Zhao Xiaochuan smiled with a hint of pride, "I came through that statue group. Nice to meet you, Brother Chaoyang, Brother Xin! And Sister Wenxi and Sister Xuefei, is this Lou Fei’Er, the beauty?"

Qi Xuefei replied helplessly, "I’m not Lou Fei’Er, I’m Qi Xuefei."

"I’m Lou Fei’Er." Lou Fei’Er pointed to her nose and said.

"Ah, uh..." Zhao Xiaochuan scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed.

He hadn’t seen these people before, not even in videos or voice chats, only interacted in the [Explorer] group chat.

This time it’s really like meeting online friends face to face.

"Not bad, at least you recognized me." Li Wenxi said with a cheerful smile.

"Sister Wenxi’s way of speaking is unmistakable. And besides, you’re the only one who won’t let go of Brother Xin’s arm." Zhao Xiaochuan pointed to her hand holding Xu Xin’s arm and laughed.

"Ah? Hehe..." Li Wenxi blushed a bit and let go of Xu Xin’s arm.

"It seems you’ve never met me either." Xu Xin turned to Zhao Xiaochuan, smiling.

She had been watching the statues in the pit, and seeing they no longer intended to rush out and attack, she felt slightly relieved.

"He’s seen me." Ji Chaoyang, now a bit relieved, said with a smile.

"Yeah, there are only two men here, besides Brother Chaoyang, it has to be Brother Xin!"

At this moment, the other two people came from the other side to the pit’s edge, approaching.

"Over here!" Zhao Xiaochuan waved to them.

Wen Guixin and Wang Lei quickly walked over.

"Haha, I finally get to see you all in person!" Wang Lei came up, his voice lively.

But Wen Guixin didn’t approach.

"I’ll keep a distance to avoid anything happening." She stood several meters away from everyone, arms crossed in front, with an excited expression on her face, "Wow, even though everyone says Xu Xin is handsome, this level of looks really exceeds my expectations. And Boss Ji, you’re even handsomer in person than in the video; everyone here really is a group of good-looking people!"

Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang both smiled.

"Hehe, I always said Xu Xin was handsome!" Li Wenxi ran to Wen Guixin’s side, "Sister Gui Xin finally came to help us!"

"Hey, hey, hey, stop!" Wen Guixin’s expression turned slightly panicked as she stepped back two paces seeing Li Wenxi approach.

"It’s not that easy to get infected." Li Wenxi was puzzled but still stopped.

"..." Wen Guixin showed a slight bitter smile.

"My goodness, why not!" Wang Lei complained, pointing at himself, "I’m one of the victims; it was terrifying, feeling like my whole body wasn’t my own anymore!"

"What?" Zhao Xiaochuan’s eyes widened, "You were infected? How come I didn’t know?"

Wen Guixin glanced at Wang Lei and couldn’t help but laugh, "Luckily, he took the antidote early, and recovered in a few minutes. You all better not get too close; it’s not just me, but even some things I touched might get infected. That’s how Wang Lei got infected back then."

"That’s right!" Wang Lei lamented, "I only touched the workbench she was operating a bit, and got infected! Even the workbench can be a source of infection!"
