Chapter 384: What a Lackey
Zhang Zheng, next to him, heard Xiang Yin's words and cursed, "What a shameless bastard!"
Unexpectedly, Xiang Yin really had thick skin.
Everyone didn't say much more, shifted direction, and walked forward.
This time, however, they moved out in single file, Zhang Zheng at the front, with Ye Chen following him, holding onto Zhang Zheng's coat.
The rest walked behind in the same manner.
Genggeng walked while guiding the direction.
"Crooked, to the left, to the right, crooked again! Ugh!"
Genggeng walked to the side, sighing in frustration.
In just two kilometers, it took the group a full two hours to walk out.
Once they emerged from the foggy area and saw the forest, everyone breathed a sigh of relief!
"Finally out, I thought we'd be stuck there, ready for a barbecue!"
"Yeah, it really scared me to death!"
Everyone couldn't help but feel a moment of fear.
Looking at the endless forest ahead, everyone was dumbfounded.
This forest was very strange; despite the heavy snow, some trees remained green.
Although there was a thick white snow cover on the ground, various plants still grew.
These plants were also colorful.
The trees were tall, weeds were abundant, and some plants were even a few meters high.
"Why does this forest look so strange? It gives me a very dangerous feeling."
"I feel it too!"
"Roar!"
"Howl!"
Suddenly, roars came from the depths of the forest.
Several birds startled by the roars flew past in large flocks above everyone's heads.
Gazing at the boundless forest, the group hesitated to move forward.
At this moment, the Monster Chat Room lit up; it was an individual group chat with sixty-nine people.
Sixty-six of them were from here, while the other three were Celestial Net, Supreme, and an unknown person who hadn't revealed their information.
Celestial Net sent a message: "Are you all there?"
Xiang Yin immediately replied, "Reporting to Lord Celestial Net, we have arrived. I am now the Speaker, and under Zhang Zheng's and my leadership, we emerged from the fog and reached a strange forest."
Seeing Xiang Yin's message, everyone couldn't help but sigh.
"That dog, taking all the credit for himself!"
Someone couldn't help but curse.
Celestial Net sent another message: "Well done, keep it up. Record the terrain features there and also the monster information, and send it to this group as soon as possible. Remember, send it to this group immediately."
Xiang Yin immediately replied, received!
The rest also followed with received!
Celestial Net @ed Xiang Yin: "Lead the team well and return in a month!"
Xiang Yin was instantly overjoyed!
Ye Chen, however, was full of doubts. Why would Celestial Net want them to record these things? Recording the terrain was understandable, but what use was recording the monsters?
Hong Ye also shook his head in confusion.
Xiang Yin coughed and said, "Everyone saw it, right? This is the task Lord Celestial Net assigned to us. We must do it well! Moreover, Lord Celestial Net has entrusted me with the team, and you all must follow my arrangements. If you don't comply, military law will deal with you!"
Everyone shot Xiang Yin a disdainful glance, clearly not impressed with him.
Such a person, such a lackey, is unlikable anywhere.
Now Ye Chen also understood how Xiang Yin became the captain of the first brigade.
Suddenly, Meng Fan spoke, "Since Lord Celestial Net said we should return in a month, why don't we just wander around the forest, randomly find some monsters to report, and that would be safer."
As soon as Meng Fan said this, everyone immediately agreed!
They all didn't want to risk themselves.
"Nonsense! Lord Celestial Net sent us to deal with this! Is this how we're supposed to report? Since we're here, we should do it properly, not just handle it!"
Meng Fan was instantly furious: "Who the hell do you think you are! You think too highly of yourself! Believe me or not, I'll beat you till your parents don't recognize you!"
"You dare!" Xiang Yin suddenly pulled out a camera and said, "Let me tell you! I'm documenting everything closely. If you dare say one more word, I'll immediately report to Lord Celestial Net, and you'll face military law then!"
Xiang Yin threatened sharply.
It had to be said, this trick was really effective, and Meng Fan instantly fell silent.
Seeing this, Xiang Yin felt even more triumphant.
"Hmph! You all are the same. Over this month, I'll record everything clearly and submit it to Lord Celestial Net. Your actions will all be documented here, so how you behave is up to you!"
Xiang Yin said half-threateningly, half-persuadingly.
Everyone looked fiercely at Xiang Yin and stopped talking.
Apparently, they were quite afraid.
"What a damn Gold and Fire ham, such a brown-noser!"
"Running into this person is bad luck for me!"
"What a jerk! Just wait until we get back; see how I teach him a lesson. If his teeth aren't knocked out, call me trash!"
Someone began cursing quietly.
Ye Chen looked at Xiang Yin helplessly; this guy was walking further on the path to destruction.
At this time, Genggeng tugged at Ye Chen's sleeve and said, "Boss, I found something good, just four kilometers behind us. Should we go check it out?"
Ye Chen thought for a moment and decided to take a look. It was a good chance to break away from the group and distance themselves from this mess.
Ye Chen patted Hong Ye's shoulder, who turned around, and Ye Chen gestured for him to follow.
Hong Ye followed Ye Chen and quietly left, heading deeper into the forest.
Luckily, the two had been standing at the back of the group, and no one noticed their departure.
After two minutes, they could no longer see the people behind them.
Hong Ye whispered, "What's up, Brother Ye Chen?"
"Let's move independently. It's no good staying with them. Genggeng found something good; let's go have a look."
"But, what if Xiang Yin finds out? It could be trouble if he reports us when we get back," Hong Ye said uneasily.
Though Ye Chen's elders had told him from a young age to obey rules and follow arrangements.
Unfortunately, Ye Chen had never listened.
Ye Chen said nonchalantly, "What are we afraid of! We'll just say we got separated. We can record as we go and just submit a report when we get back."
Hong Ye thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "That's true. Following that idiot Xiang Yin, we'll end up in trouble sooner or later. It's safer for the two of us to act alone."
Ye Chen smiled contentedly.
Genggeng was obviously thrilled, darting around in the snow.
Ye Chen didn't know that someone was following them.
Zhang Zheng quietly tailed Ye Chen and Hong Ye from behind.
