The two seemed unwilling to disclose much, and Xia Nan was too lazy to involve himself, so he didn't ask further.
In any case, they had already agreed to help him complete the mission regarding the "Beastman."
As long as he could get the metal materials to upgrade the Snake Scale Arm Shield, he didn't want to bother with any other messy affairs.
Buzz——
The Wooden Sword [Green Pine] slung on his back suddenly emanated a familiar warmth.
Xia Nan's footsteps abruptly paused.
Constantly maintaining vigilance towards his surroundings, his abrupt action was immediately noticed by the three teammates ahead.
The team, which had been moving forward, also stopped in place.
"Ssss..."
He hadn't had a chance to inquire.
As if sensing their movements, a dense thicket not far ahead suddenly shook.
Accompanied by the fleeting glimmers of colorful scales and the hissing unique to snakes, the disturbance quickly faded away.
