Ahhhhh, high-altitude survival!

Chapter 184, He Feihong is Strange

Xiao Bing and Xiao Shu both had excited smiles on their faces, and He Feihong and the others who saw this scene couldn't hold back anymore.

They already had some ulterior motives, and now that they saw there were already several test subjects, they took out a lot of stone skins without saying a word and started sticking them on their bodies.

Seeing the group's eager actions, a hint of barely perceptible pleasure flashed in Wu Duan's eyes, and his smile became even more smug.

He turned to look at Lin Yue again, a smile on his face, and asked, "Lin Shen, why don't you give it a try? It's such a great way to improve your strength."

Lin Yue naturally wanted to improve her strength as well, but as she observed everyone, she felt a sense of unease. Upon hearing Wu Duan's words, she simply shook her head: "No need, I'm not injured, and I don't have much stone skin. You can try it."

Seeing that she said that, Wu Duan didn't try to persuade her any further. He just smiled and nodded, then turned his attention back to the others.

Lin Yue watched as He Feihong and the others began to imitate Xiao Shu and Xiao Bing's methods, artificially creating wounds on themselves. She couldn't help but frown slightly, feeling that something was not quite right.

But then she thought again. Although the stone skin was precious, in this high-altitude survival game world, improving one's own strength was the most important thing, so what they were doing seemed reasonable. Thinking this, she shook her head, assuming she had just overthought things, and continued to stand quietly beside Xiao Bing and Xiao Shu, observing.

He Feihong's strength far surpassed that of Huang Wenmin and Lu Renyi, so he naturally had a much larger amount of stone skin on his body. Therefore, he experimented with even more recklessly. He carefully made small incisions on almost every vulnerable spot that might be fatal in a normal fight, and then covered it with stone skin.

Moreover, with Wu Duan as a living example, even for a small wound, he would try to apply large pieces of stone skin, thinking that he could absorb more of the stone skin's energy to make his defense even stronger.

He tried little by little, and when his entire upper body was almost completely covered by the stone, his expression suddenly changed. Just like when Wu Duan had stood up, his expression was ambiguous, neither happy nor sad.

After a long while, his expression calmed down and settled into a smile.

The others were preoccupied with inflicting their own wounds and didn't pay any attention to He Feihong. Only Lin Yue and Wu Duan, who were standing nearby, witnessed the entire scene.

Seeing his expression, Wu Duan's smile deepened. He took a few steps closer to He Feihong and patted him on the shoulder, a gesture that seemed quite intimate. He Feihong, instead of flinching, naturally stood beside Wu Duan.

Seeing this, Lin Yue was genuinely surprised. He Feihong had always acted like a big shot, never showing much warmth to anyone except Lin Yue. Why was he acting like a completely different person now?

Huang Wenmin and Lu Renyi had run out of stone skins, so they stood up and planned to go and meet up with He Feihong.

He Feihong seemed to realize they were out of stone skins, and generously took out two large pieces, as if to hand them over. But before he could hand them over, Wu Duan reached out and grabbed him.

He Feihong noticed the warning look in Wu Duan's eyes and, as if suddenly realizing something, put the stone back away.

This series of actions made Lin Yue realize something was wrong, and even Huang Wenmin and Lu Renyi noticed something was amiss. Huang Wenmin immediately couldn't help but ask, "Brother He, what's wrong with you? You seem to have been kidnapped by Wu Duan?"

Hearing this, He Feihong smiled and took two steps forward, seemingly wanting to explain. But coincidentally, his movement brought him to within about two meters of Lin Yue.

Lin Yue hadn't even taken off the little mushrooms yet. As soon as he came over, the little mushrooms seemed to have suddenly spotted a target and "whoosh," they sprayed a stream of purple slime at He Feihong.

He Feihong was stunned and stood there, forgetting to move for a moment.

Lin Yue was even more surprised, her eyes widened. Although her plant army was not like Bai Shuang and the others, which could be directly communicated with, it was not completely without intelligence.

Take the "man-eating flower" for example. Ever since it accidentally swallowed Lin Yue for the first time, it has become much more cautious when facing players. It will only attack when Lin Yue is in battle or when it actively sends Lin Yue into battle.

The row of small mushrooms that Lin Yue had planted on her body had been quiet ever since she destroyed the sculpture. When He Feihong and the others ran towards the abyss, they had entered their attack range, but they hadn't made a sound then. Why were they launching them on their own now?

He Feihong had just witnessed Lin Yue's fight and knew that her weapons had limited range. Before the second wave of attacks from Little Mushroom came, he had already retreated several meters away from Lin Yue, though his expression changed a little too quickly.

He had previously tried to trade his invisibility cloak for weapons, but Lin Yue made up a flimsy excuse, which already annoyed He Feihong. However, given the circumstances, he had no choice but to swallow his anger.

But now, he is no longer the He Feihong he used to be!

He looked down at the spot where he had been hit; a noticeable purple mark had appeared, but he felt no pain whatsoever. He Feihong grew increasingly confident, his expression slowly turning cold, and his tone carrying a hint of displeasure: "Lin Yue, what do you mean by this?"

Seeing this, Huang Wenmin and Lu Renyi quickly stepped forward and stood beside He Feihong. Lu Renyi, unaware of He Feihong's thoughts, and wanting to smooth things over, took two steps forward and stood between Lin Yue and He Feihong, which put him right in the range of the little mushroom's attack.

However, the little mushroom did not react at all, still drooping its head, looking lazy and as if it was resting and not worth mentioning.

Lin Yue now understood. It seemed that the situation just now wasn't the little mushroom's fault, but rather that He Feihong was acting strangely!

To further confirm this, Lin Yue casually took two steps forward, closing the distance between herself and He Feihong once again.
