"What is this?" Yu Hao muttered to himself.

More monsters had discovered him. They charged out of the sea of flames and advanced towards him dauntlessly! And they were all panthers! Yu Hao turned around; within the rainforest behind him was a thistle field, and before him was an increasing number of rotten, burning monsters. Yu Hao realized that he had left the mountain area and entered the rainforest zone. He now had an unobstructed view of the area.

Yu Hao's eyes were bloodshot and tearing up from the smoke, while the burning asphalt panthers were gathering in the open area and encircling him. Yu Hao slowly retreated as he said, "Easy, easy......"

The black panthers were ablaze and seemed as if they were experiencing intense pain. Suddenly, Yu Hao thought he heard a whistle in the distance.

"Zhou Sheng?" Yu Hao turned his head while remaining on guard.

But the group of panthers had received their orders, so they all swiftly leaped towards Yu Hao!

Yu Hao cried out, then turned tail and ran like a madman into the rainforest. Yu Hao grabbed his shirt with one hand and shouted angrily as he ran, "Chen Yekai! What the hell is up with your damn dream aaaaahhhh--!"

Yu Hao had just rushed into the thistle-filled woodland when the decaying group of panthers behind him was less than three meters away - the sparks from their flames had already spattered onto Yu Hao's head. Yu Hao immediately somersaulted on the ground and hid underneath a huge thistle leaf, then rolled over and leaped before darting through the bumpy path in the rainforest.

Suddenly, four burning panthers jumped closely over Yu Hao's head. With the extra momentum gained from nimbly rebounding off a tree in front of Yu Hao, they turned and pounced straight onto his head! Yu Hao quickly came to a halt, but even more panthers had rushed over from behind.

Yu Hao had nowhere to escape. He raised his hand to protect his head; as he ran, four panthers blocked his path and leaped into the air--

Yu Hao, "......"

"Ooh--oh oh oh oh--"

Zhou Sheng's voice rang out loud and clear, and was immediately followed by four thumps - the panthers in the air immediately tumbled away after being shot. Yu Hao was picked up from the ground before he rapidly ascended!

"Hold tight!" Zhou Sheng roared.

Thank goodness Zhou Sheng is finally here......Yu Hao exclaimed, "Where have you been?!"

Zhou Sheng wore a military camouflage uniform with a shield on his back and was gripping onto a vine with one hand. His ears were ringing from Yu Hao's shout, so he complained resentfully, "Don't shout, I'm going deaf......why are there so many of them?! Grab that vine! Your other hand! Raise your feet up!"

A moment later, Yu Hao instinctively reached out and grabbed a sturdy vine. Zhou Sheng adjusted himself mid-air, single-handedly pinning the gun behind him, onto his lower back. As Zhou Sheng travelled through the air, he stepped against Yu Hao's knee, slightly launching himself before holding Yu Hao's waist with an arm and shouted, "Let go! Jump!"

Yu Hao, "......"

In that short moment, Yu Hao didn't even know how many trees he had passed. He only listened to Zhou Sheng's orders and responded purely by reflex. Both of them abandoned the vine and jumped onto the fork of a tree, then rebounded off it and flew away again.

A steep cliff emerged within the dense tropical rainforest. They leaped onto the steep cliff by riding on the momentum of their rebound from the tree fork. There was a jeep with a running engine parked on the edge of the steep cliff, and Zhou Sheng said, "Get in!" As he spoke, he hoisted Yu Hao up and into the car, then climbed into the driver's seat and put it in gear. He stepped on the accelerator and turned around in the same movement.
