Chapter 918 Another unexpected visitor
"Zhang Meng, are you sure this place can hide us?" Qing'er used leaves to form a simple observation point while looking up at the surroundings.
"Of course! I'm a spy among spies, so concealment is definitely no problem." Zhang Meng was full of confidence, with a slight smile on his face. "Besides, we can also enjoy the delicacies of nature!"
"You are just a foodie." Qin Feng shook his head and smiled bitterly, "We are the messengers protecting the forest, let's not talk about delicious food first!"
"That won't do. We need to maintain our strength while protecting the forest." Zhang Meng said unyieldingly, "Just wait and see. I'll bring you delicious food later!"
"I hope it's not a tree root." Qing'er joked.
"Tree roots can also be made into delicious food. I am the only one who can make tree roots delicious like me!" Zhang Meng said seriously, as if he had already conceived a delicious dish in his mind.
"Oh, I really don't want to listen to the recipes I've heard of again." Qin Feng sighed, pretending to be helpless.
Just as they were busy setting up the observation point, suddenly, a rustling sound broke the silence of the forest.
"What's that sound?" Qing'er quickly became alert and looked around.
"I'll go take a look!" Zhang Meng said softly, and walked quietly towards the source of the sound.
"Be careful!" Qin Feng reminded from behind.
Zhang Meng quietly crouched behind a tree, his eyes fixed on the front. He saw a creature wearing strange clothes, trying hard to pick fruits from the tree, with a small suitcase beside it.
"Who is this? I have never seen him before." Zhang Meng was confused.
"What are you doing? Come back soon!" Qing'er lowered her voice behind him, looking very nervous.
"It's okay, I'm just going to take a look." Zhang Meng responded.
"Don't cause trouble!" Qing'er urged.
"I'll just treat him as a little squirrel, it's okay." Zhang Meng turned his head, full of confidence.
Zhang Meng decided to get closer to try to hear what the creature was saying. Just then, he accidentally stepped on a branch, making a "crackling" sound.
"Who's there?" The creature turned around quickly, with surprise obvious on its face.
"Ah... I didn't mean it!" Zhang Meng quickly explained, raising his hands, "I was just passing by, I didn't mean any harm!"
"Are you human?" The creature's voice was a little surprised. "I thought there was no one else here!"
"Yes, I am a human." Zhang Meng grinned, "What kind of creature are you?"
"My name is Qiqi, and I'm a gatherer in the forest." The creature said with a vigilant look on his face, "You humans can't just come in here!"
"We are messengers of the water god, and we are here to protect the forest!" Zhang Meng said quickly.
"Messenger of the Water God? Humph, don't tease me! You are not the first group to come here." Qiqi curled his lips, looking a little disdainful.
"What do you mean? Has anyone been here before?" Qin Feng walked over and couldn't help asking.
"Of course! Some humans come here to capture animals and even want to occupy this forest!" Qiqi said angrily, "That's why I specially collect food here to prepare for their arrival."
"Then we must protect this forest well." Qing'er said seriously, "Are you willing to join us?"
"Huh, I don't believe you." Qiqi still had doubts.
"Qiqi, you can take a look at our magic weapons!" Zhang Meng said enthusiastically, pointing to the magic weapons he carried with him.
"Magic weapon?" Qiqi's eyes flashed with curiosity, "Do you really have the magic weapon of the water god?"
"Of course!" Zhang Meng answered proudly, feeling secretly pleased with himself.
"Okay, then. I'll trust you this time." Qiqi hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.
"What we have to do now is to set up more observation points to ensure that there are no outsiders," Qing'er said.
"I can take you to a more private place!" Qiqi suggested, with some excitement in his eyes.
"That's great, take us there quickly!" Zhang Meng immediately showed great enthusiasm.
Several people followed Qiqi through the dense forest. Along the way, Qiqi kept introducing various trees and plants. "This tree is called the Millennium Banyan, and its roots can be used to make medicine!"
"Millennial banyan tree? That sounds amazing!" Zhang Meng was immediately interested. "Then I must pick more to make delicious food."
"Just think about eating. You're such a foodie." Qing'er shook her head helplessly.
As they walked, Qiqi stopped and said, "This is where I often observe. From here I can see everything around me."
"This is a good place with a wide field of vision." Qing'er nodded in agreement, "Let's set up an observation point from here."
"No problem, I'll be in charge of the arrangement." Zhang Meng said excitedly and started to get busy.
"I'll help too!" Qiqi joined in without hesitation.
"It seems we have a new helper!" Qin Feng said with a smile.
A few hours later, they finally set up the observation point. Qiqi looked at the result and couldn't help but admire: "Your craftsmanship is really good! It looks very hidden."
"I have to thank me, the agent!" Zhang Meng said proudly.
"Agent? I think you're more like a foodie." Qing'er joked.
"My identity as an agent is also of great value!" Zhang Meng looked serious.
"Okay, Foodie Agent." Qing'er smiled helplessly, "Next, we have to stay alert at all times."
"No problem! I will observe carefully!" Qiqi nodded seriously, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.
"Then we'll wait here and be ready to deal with external threats at any time," Qing'er commanded.
Not long after, another rustling sound was heard and everyone quickly became alert.
"Here we go again?" Qin Feng whispered, "Who is the one who is blind this time?"
"I'll go and take a look!" Zhang Meng approached the source of the sound cautiously, his heart full of anticipation.
"Don't take too many risks!" Qing'er reminded from behind.
Zhang Meng was lying behind a tree and saw a group of strange creatures equipped with strange weapons approaching them.
"Hurry, go back and report!" Zhang Meng turned around quickly and ran back to the observation point.
"What's wrong?" Qing'er immediately became nervous when she saw Zhang Meng rushing back.
"They are coming, maybe they are the outsiders from before!" Zhang Meng said, panting.
"We have to prepare for the battle!" Qing'er commanded without hesitation, "Qiqi, can we use the plants around us to create some obstacles?"
"Of course!" Kiki jumped into action and quickly began moving trees and stones.
"Let me help you!" Zhang Meng also joined in and started to get busy.
"Hurry up, we have to try our best to buy time!" Qin Feng urged from the side.
While they were busy preparing, the creatures approached and began to search the forest.
"I heard that there is a magic weapon of the water god here, find it out quickly!" said the leading creature coldly, with unquestionable majesty in his voice.
"Damn it! They really are here to steal things!" Qing'er said angrily, "We can't let them succeed!"
"Get ready, we'll attack when they get close!" Qin Feng commanded in a low voice.
"No problem, I'll prepare the magic weapon right away!" Zhang Meng was full of confidence and ready to meet the challenge.
"We must protect this forest this time!" Qing'er said firmly.
Just as the group of creatures was getting closer, suddenly a strong light flashed, and the water god's magic weapon instantly released a powerful stream of water, rushing towards the enemy.
"How dare you come here!" Qing'er shouted loudly, with a brave light flashing in her eyes.
"Damn it, retreat!" The leading creature shouted in horror and retreated quickly.
“Don’t let them escape!” Zhang Meng shouted excitedly, waving his magic weapon and the water rushed forward.
After a fierce confrontation, the creatures were finally completely defeated, and Qing'er, Zhang Meng and Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Great, we succeeded!" Zhang Meng was so happy that he almost jumped up.
"It all depends on our cooperation!" Qing'er said with a smile.
"Yes, the Water God's magic weapon is so powerful!" Qiqi's eyes were full of admiration.
"However, we have to continue to protect the forest and ensure that there are no more outsiders." Qin Feng said with a firm look in his eyes.
"That's right, we will keep protecting it!" Qing'er nodded.
"Then let's continue patrolling here to ensure safety," Zhang Meng suggested.
"Okay, let's do it!" The three agreed unanimously and began to continue their patrol mission.
