  "Alright, alright. Whether it's traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, if it exists, it must be reasonable. Now everyone talks about combining the two, don't they? I think each has its pros and cons, can't generalize. What's going on here, still arguing over this trivial matter?"

  Zhao Shichang glared at him and said, "This is a matter of principle."

  Xu Ruyun spread out her hands and said, "It's a matter of principle."

  Qin Jiagu smiled wryly, Su Yu laughed and gently flicked away a leaf that had just fallen onto his sleeve, feeling that these two guys were quite interesting.

  After a short rest, the crowd continued on their journey. The seven new recruits were each assigned to carry two large bags, and they knew that there was food inside, but they didn't dare to be careless.

  There were nineteen people in total, two third-tier powerhouses, three second-tier warriors, six first-tiers, and eight zero-tiers. It could be said that the team's strength was unprecedentedly powerful. Qin Jia Gui and Zhao Shi Chang were filled with confidence, feeling solid for the first time. Along the way, they also explained to the seven new recruits some things to note in this forest, as well as how to cooperate if they encountered monsters again.

  What made Su Yu feel headache was that it seemed that in order to advance from the first stage to the second stage, relying on others didn't seem to have much effect, and he had to personally take action and fight.

  "Remember, next time we encounter a second-tier monster, I'll take the lead and block it. Then, I'll use the shockwave from 'Runic Language' to kill it. That should be effective." Su Yu instructed, deciding that next time they had such an opportunity, she wouldn't knock out the monster and hand it over to Su Yu, but instead work together with Su Yu to take down the monster.

  Su Yu nodded and murmured in agreement.

  Surprisingly, on the way down in the afternoon, they didn't encounter any danger, only occasionally running into a group of small goblins, but this group of goblins saw Su Yu and the others and immediately ran away without attacking.

  The crowd naturally wouldn't chase after them and just watched as this group of little green-skinned monsters slipped away into the distance.

  Qin Jiagu occasionally took out the map to check the direction, as they went deeper into the forest, it began to grow denser again, and the road became increasingly difficult to walk. Zhao Shichang had no choice but to swing his bone knife to clear a path, while Zhang Zhongmou also took out the "Red Lotus Sword" to help.

  Large tracts of thorny shrubs were cut down, and branches with sprawling leaves were chopped off. Zhao Shichang and Zhang Zhongmou led the way in front, accelerating their pace once again.

  This rare tranquility this afternoon, even the distant roars of monsters were not heard, as if the forest in this area belonged to a monster-free zone.

  This primeval forest is quite different from the impression of a forest that everyone has. At least, almost no mosquitoes or poisonous insects can be seen. The smallest and weakest monsters that can be seen are probably just goblins and kobolds. It seems that goblins and kobolds are the animals at the lowest end of the food chain in this forest.

  However, although it is one of the lowest-level monsters in this forest, it is still much stronger than ordinary humans.

  Ordinary humans entering here, if it weren't for luck, numbers or terrain-based weapons and the like, would be fundamentally unable to kill a young Linbu beast.

  After nightfall, everyone was tired from walking and prepared to rest. Zhao Shichang, Zhang Zhongmou, and Ma Ziye, who had taken out the "Starlight Knife", worked together to cut down the surrounding weeds and shrubs, clearing a circular area of about 20 meters in diameter. Everyone then helped to clear the thick layer of weeds from the ground, making it more comfortable for sleeping.

  The bag of food was still placed in the center, Su Yu supported Lei Ru and carefully put her on the thick weeds in the center, and she sat down beside Lei Ru.

  Others also try to get some rest as close as possible, because with the increase in personnel, the number of sentries has been increased to three per shift, one shift for the first half of the night and another shift for the second half.

  Everyone formed their own small groups based on their relationships, such as Qin Jiagui and Yuan Nianping sitting closest to each other, Su Yu, Zhang Zhongmou and a few others sat together, Li Dong and Zhou Huakang were in the same group, and so on.

  Liu Zheng held the paper and pen, but sat next to Zhang Zhongmou, excitedly whispering: "Hey, let's investigate what abilities we all have, who is the strongest."

  He found out that Zhang Zhongmou liked to talk and was a big mouth, so he asked him too.

  Qin Jiagu looked at Xu Ruyun and said: "Since you killed a big brother Lin Bu beast, shouldn't you have evolved to the first stage? What ability did you get?"

  Xu Ruyun furrowed her brow, and Qin Jiagui smiled: "Don't misunderstand, everyone's abilities are public knowledge, we're all familiar with each other, so it's easier to assign roles. For example, my ability is that I can metalize skin." As he spoke, he stretched out his right arm, which instantly turned into metal, and a metallic bulge appeared on his right shoulder.

  "This is where I can launch 'Iron Shoulder Missiles', a new power I gained when I evolved into the Second-Order Black Iron Warrior. My fists can cause anything they hit to explode, this is my special ability."

  Qin Jiagu's words dispelled some of Xu Ruyun's concerns, and he slowly said: "My abilities seem to be in my chest..." As he spoke, he opened his black windbreaker, revealing a bit of his pectoral muscles.

  Su Yu also looked over, and Xu Ruyun's performance made them all very surprised. Everyone was a little curious about what ability he had obtained.

  When Xu Ruyun opened his chest, Su Yu found that the skin on his chest was slightly trembling, and then, from under his skin, a small handle emerged one after another.

  "This......this......" Qin Jiagui was shocked beyond measure.

  Xu Ruyun stretched out her hand and plucked one of the handles out, then everyone saw that it was a surgical knife. With a flick of her wrist, the knife flew out rapidly and stuck into a tree trunk on the side with a "whoosh".

  "Pulling out a surgical knife from his chest? Is this some kind of special ability?" Qin's face was filled with incredulity.

  Xu Ruyun nodded slightly before saying, "Perhaps... it's because I had the surgical knives on me when I evolved. After the evolution, a strange force was generated within my body, drawing all the knives into my body. That's how I obtained this bizarre ability to constantly pull out new surgical knives from my chest." A faint bitter smile appeared on his face, and indeed, this ability was extremely unusual.

  Everyone looked at each other, not knowing whether to say that his ability was strong or weak. Now he is only in the first stage, and it's hard to judge. Only after reaching the second stage can we roughly determine a person's strength, weakness, and level.

  Zhang Zhongmou heard Liu Zhengxun ask who was the strongest in his team, and he smiled slyly: "The strongest person? That's a no-brainer, of course it's me."

  "Really?" Liu Zhong's face was full of worship. At that time, the monster came to attack, and he was in a hurry to save his life. Naturally, he didn't have the energy to carefully watch everyone's battle, so he couldn't tell who was the strongest. With a look of worship and doubt on his face, he quietly pointed at Su Yu: "But why did it happen that every time we encountered monsters, he was always the first to rush forward? It seemed like the most powerful monsters were all solved by him. I thought he was the strongest, but unexpectedly, the strongest is actually Brother Zhang."

  Zhang Zhongmou glanced at Su Yu and chuckled: "Him? He's already inhumanly strong, can't be counted. If you ask who the strongest person is, of course it's me."

  Liu Zhong was so angry and amused at the same time, only then did he realize that Zhang Zhongmou had been teasing him.

  Li Dong and Zhou Huakang sat together, at this moment whispering to Zhou Huakang: "Today I beat that little Wang Xiangzi, he must be resentful, we should be careful."

  Zhou Huakang nodded, a cold smile spreading across his face: "The one thing I can't stand is this kind of scoundrel, he dares to take revenge? Well, that's perfect, I have an excuse now, I'll make sure he doesn't survive."

  Li Dong said in a low voice, "To avoid having too many nightmares, if we encounter any monsters tomorrow, let's just use the monster's hands to kill him. This person is a disaster waiting to happen in our team. Although I'm stronger than him now, it's easy to dodge open attacks but hard to guard against sneak ones. Who knows, this kid might get lucky and accidentally kill a level one monster, then he'll become a first-class black iron warrior just like us."

  Li Dong could see much further than Zhou Huakang, and as he spoke, he glanced at Xu Ruyun. This Xu Ruyun had only just entered this world today, yet now she was already a first-tier Black Iron Warrior, just like them. This made Li Dong and the others feel a bit envious of their own hard-won status as first-tier warriors.

  Zhou Huakang grunted in agreement. After being told by Li Dong like this, he deeply agreed and had already made up his mind to find an opportunity to get rid of Wang Xiang tomorrow.

  Qin Jiagui and Yuan Niping chatted for a while, then walked over to Su Yu's side and sat down. Su Yu was taking out a box of chocolates from her bag and opening it. When she saw Qin Jiagui sit down beside her, she took out a piece and handed it to him.

  Qin Jiagu took it over and lightly bit into it, but he actually didn't like the taste of chocolate very much.

  Looking around at the scattered crowd, Qin Jia Gui said in a low voice: "Su Yu, there are suddenly several more people in the team now. We're not familiar with their surnames and personalities yet, so we all need to be extra careful."

  Although Su Yu was not the leader of the team, he had never thought of becoming one, but when something really happened, Qin Jia Gui's first thought was to discuss it with him. Even Qin Jia Gui, who had always wanted to be the leader, couldn't help but admit that in the current team, Su Yu was the backbone of everyone.

  Su Yu put a piece of chocolate into her mouth, chewed it, murmured an "uh-huh", and then swallowed the chocolate before softly saying: "That driver, that dark-faced uncle, that Liu Zhen who's full of fantasies, and that programmer are all basically fine. The one who needs to be paid attention to is that Wang Xiang, he might stir up some trouble... And another person who needs attention is that Xu Ruyun." Suddenly turning her head to look at Qin Jia Gui with a smile: "Why aren't you eating? Don't you like chocolate?"

  Qin Jiagui hehe smiled and threw the rest of the chocolate into his mouth, chewing it up.

  Su Yuwen said: "Chocolate is a high-calorie food, eating a little bit is very effective, especially in such a harsh environment."
