Chapter 37: Danger Lurks Everywhere (Seeking Recommendations and Bookmarks)

  At the dinner table, Tang Tian felt a bit strange because this time's dishes were different from before.

  Six people, five dishes and one soup. Originally, there was nothing wrong with this, but Tang Tian keenly sensed that these dishes absolutely did not come from the hands of one person.

  Tang Tian looked at the three girls busy in the kitchen with a puzzled expression.

  Liu Xin looked at herself with a happy face, Zhang Yu's eyes dodged back and forth, while Zhang Yue'er had an expression of "I don't care".

  Tang Tian suddenly understood, these dishes must have been made by the three of them, each person making one dish!

  Without saying a word, Tang Tian stretched his chopsticks towards a dish of stir-fried potatoes that looked extremely appetizing. However, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Zhang Yu suddenly tense up and thought to himself, "This should be your doing, right?"

  The potato shreds reached his mouth, and Tang Tian's eyes changed instantly! "My god, it's not cooked at all! No wonder it looked so good, and damn, is this going to kill people with salt?"

  However, Tang Tian calmly chewed and swallowed a few times, then smiled: "Not bad, you all eat too, don't just watch me alone."

  Everyone watched as Tang Tian finished eating, and then they started moving their chopsticks.

  "Really not bad, huh? Looks like Miss is still talented in cooking, heh heh", Zhang Yu thought to herself with satisfaction as she saw Tang Tian eating with relish, and quickly picked up a chopstickful and put it into her own small mouth.

  But as soon as the potato shreds entered his mouth, Zhang Yu's face suddenly turned pale.

  Ptooey! Zhang Yu quickly spat out all the potato shreds in her mouth, and even tears came out salty. She had no idea how something so disgusting could be eaten by Tang Tian with such a nonchalant attitude.

  "Is he trying to curry favor with me?" Zhang Yu thought to himself.

  But little did he know, Tang Tian's next words would infuriate him to death.

  "If it's not delicious, leave it for others to eat. Food is very precious now, and don't waste food again in the future," Tang Tian said calmly.

  "Ugh, I'm not eating anymore, you guys eat slowly", Zhang Yu threw down her chopsticks and stormed off.

  Others looked at each other in dismay, but Tang Tian seemed as if nothing had happened and continued eating on his own.

  "Come on, everyone eat, we've been busy all morning and are starving......", Liu Qiang went out to smooth things over.

  ……

  Eating was just a small episode. After dinner, Tang Tian arranged for someone to carefully lead the way into the dangerous jungle.

  According to the agreement, Liu Qiang led his men to stay behind and maintain the situation, while Zhao Daniu led his men and ten newly selected higher-level personnel to form a temporary expedition team. The 22 people set off with their weapons towards the abandoned forest.

  "Everyone, be vigilant, the jungle is full of dangers, we don't know how many hidden dangers there are, so we must be cautious around us. If anything happens, remind each other in a low voice, lest we attract even greater danger." Tang Tian carefully instructed, looking at these people.

  His men were too few, couldn't afford to lose any more, one death meant one less, and he still had a long way to go.

  Although these people have never been to the jungle, just looking at that gloomy appearance can tell how dangerous it is.

  "Big Bull, I'll take the lead, you follow in the middle. This is where our strength lies, and we can respond to anything at any time," Tang Tian instructed Zhao Big Bull.

  Zhao Daniu, as strong as an iron tower, had muscles all over his body, holding a steel pike more than two meters long, like the angry Vajra of Buddhism, nodded to show understanding, then went into the crowd.

  Although the jungle is not far away, it's just a few hundred meters from Shijia Village. To enter the jungle, Tang Tian still chose to take the same route as he did when he came, which was along the small river on the edge of Shijia Village.

  Walking along the riverbank, Tang Tian didn't dare to be careless and observed the surroundings at all times.

  Splash!

  At this moment, a white shadow suddenly emerged from the water on the shore of the small river next to it and rushed towards the crowd that was caught off guard.

  "Be careful......", these people have always been paying attention to the surrounding movement, and when the river surface is turbulent, they retreat and remind them.

  Tang Tian had always been mindful of the surroundings, but he neglected the danger from the water. Fortunately, everyone was cautious and nothing dangerous happened. Tang Tian secretly scolded himself for being so stupid, how could he forget about the danger in the river beside him?

  Fortunately, there were no casualties, which made Tang Tian feel a lot more at ease.

  When Tang Tian clearly saw what the white thing that had rushed onto the shore was, he jumped down.

  A two-meter-long white monster fish, with a huge mouth that occupied almost one-third of its body, had rows of two-inch-long teeth that shone coldly in the sunlight. Tang Tian had no doubt that if these people were bitten by this monster fish, they would definitely be torn in half. The dorsal fin on the back of the fish had evolved into a row of over thirty centimeters long bony spines, and the pectoral fins on both sides of its body had evolved into several pieces of sharp-edged bone plates. Tang Tian was certain that these bone plates could easily cut through the bodies of these people.

  The Eye of Reality activated, and Tang Tian obtained information about this strange fish.

  "Variation carp, fourth level, evolved from the original carp, with bony spines on its back that can shoot out to attack enemies, and the bony plates on both sides are also dangerous weapons. If you encounter it in a river, just escape."

  "Be careful of this fish, everyone keep a distance, especially be careful of the bone spines on its back", Tong Tian quickly reminded.

  This fish jumped onto the shore and arrived at Tang Tian's place to get information and remind everyone, all within a second or two.

  This variant carp, after jumping ashore, did not leave the water and struggle like ordinary fish, but instead used its two side bony plates to support its body and pounced on these people.

  Looking at such a terrifying strange fish, these people naturally dodged to the side without Tang Tian reminding them.

  Tang Tian drew out his long knife and took three steps forward in two strides towards the mutated carp, he had to kill it as soon as possible.

  But before Tang Tian could rush to the side of the mutated carp, he saw the carp's body arch up, its bony plates supporting it on the ground, and with a single bounce, it quickly pounced towards the person closest to it.

  The mutated carp was extremely fast, and although the man dodged to the side and avoided being bitten by the carp's large mouth, as it swam past him, its lateral bony plates scraped against him.

  Pfft!

  His body was instantly cut in two, and he didn't even have time to let out a miserable cry before his head and body were separated.

  The others on the sidelines took a cold breath.

  Bang!

  Just as the variant carp was about to cut the man in two, before his body had even hit the ground, a dark steel spear swiftly pierced its body, instantly sending it flying backward with a dull thud.

  It turned out that Tang Tian was walking in the front, far away from the mutated carp, and didn't arrive in time. However, Zhao Daniu was right in the middle of the crowd, reacted quickly, and swiftly rushed over to hit the mutated carp with a stick.

  The mutated carp was drawn out and flew back, at this time Tang Tian also arrived, and before it landed, the long knife in his hand chopped down.

  Pfft!

  Tang Tian's knife merely cut a wound of over twenty centimeters deep into the mutated carp.

  Tang Tian felt that his knife was chopping on the carp's body, slippery and completely powerless. Tang Tian knew that this was because there was a layer of oil on the scales of the mutant carp.

  Hehe~~1

  The variegated carp was attacked twice and opened its big mouth to make a harsh cry.

  All that was seen was its back arched, and the bony spines on its back suddenly detached from its body, shooting towards Tang Tian like sharp arrows.

  When he got the variant carp data, Tang Tian had been careful about this move all along. With a roll on the spot, Tang Tian dodged it.

  However, the people behind Tang Tian were not so lucky. Two of them were instantly shot by the variant carp's bony spines, one was pierced through the arm, and the other had his head pierced, dying a death that couldn't be any deader.
