158: Chapter 158 An insult to public morals!

The moment she saw the tent, Gu Rongyu's expression held a hint of disappointment.

"What the heck," she thought. "It's not a monster at all."

However, Gu Rongyu was also a bit curious at the same time.

Why would anyone set up a tent to rest here in broad daylight?

Shouldn't those adventurers be seizing the time to kill monsters and farm resources?

Jiang Mengxi also noticed the tent. She shook her head, just about to say something to Gu Rongyu.

Just then, a muffled, repressed sound came from inside the tent.

As the sound reached Gu Rongyu's ears, her expression became puzzled.

She didn't understand why a woman would make such a sound...

But Jiang Mengxi, standing beside her, instantly widened her eyes.

This kind of repressed sound... it was very familiar!

When she was affected by the flood dragon that time, her consciousness had actually gradually cleared up by the final sprint.

That feeling of shame... had made her voice grow lower and lower.

It was exactly the same... as the sound she was hearing now!

That meant...

Jiang Mengxi stared at the tent in disbelief. Someone inside was currently...

A rare flush of crimson appeared on Jiang Mengxi's face.

Seeing that Gu Rongyu still looked completely bewildered, she quickly grabbed Gu Rongyu and led her away rapidly in the opposite direction!

At the same time, Lin Mo inside the tent also noticed the footsteps quickly fading away. He finally relaxed and continued to enjoy the feeling of using Su Youwei.

Jiang Mengxi dragged Gu Rongyu until they were several kilometers away.

Gu Rongyu finally reacted and asked suspiciously, "Captain, what just happened?"

"I think I heard a woman's voice. Was she asking us for help? I felt like the sound was very suppressed!"

The corner of Jiang Mengxi's mouth twitched slightly. Looking at Gu Rongyu, who had yet to experience such worldly affairs, Jiang Mengxi hesitated for two seconds before offering a reminder.

"That wasn't a cry for help, but a cry of pleasure..."

Upon hearing those two words, Gu Rongyu's beautiful eyes widened!

She finally realized it in hindsight. No wonder that sound, besides being suppressed, also seemed to carry a hint of excitement...

Heavens... she had just thought someone was calling for help and even wanted to go up and assist... It was fortunate she hadn't gone over, otherwise... how awkward that would have been...

A flush of crimson couldn't help but spread across her cheeks, and she couldn't help but use a snarky comment to mask her embarrassment.

"No... this... in broad daylight, and out in the wild... really... it's indecent..."

The corner of Jiang Mengxi's mouth twitched slightly... It seemed like this statement was scolding herself too... It seemed like that day... she too... in broad daylight... also... in the wild... and even... she and Lin Mo didn't even have a tent... purely using the sky as a blanket and the earth as a bed... If one really thought about it... it seemed even more indecent...

Jiang Mengxi couldn't help but speak up, "One can't really put it that way. Perhaps it's just two young people, mutually attracted... unable to restrain their passion for a moment."

Gu Rongyu blinked her eyes. Subconsciously, she thought of her promise to Lin Mo. If Lin Mo wanted to in the wild...

"Ahem..." Gu Rongyu shook her head, not daring to think further.

"Let's go, Captain, let's get further away from here. It's too scary. I don't want to run into this pair... again."

Jiang Mengxi nodded in deep agreement. She then led Gu Rongyu away.

An hour later. Lin Mo lay in the tent, feeling satisfied.

"How is it? Is your mood much better now?"

Su Youwei currently didn't even have the strength to speak; she lay limp against Lin Mo and nodded.

Lin Mo reached out and pinched Su Youwei's nose.

"In the future, if you worry about such inexplicable things again, I'll use this method to help you relax! Let's see if you dare to let your mind wander again."

A flush of crimson spread across Su Youwei's cheeks, and she quickly nodded frantically like a chick pecking at rice.

After resting for a while and feeling that she had regained the ability to walk, Su Youwei took the initiative to have Lin Mo pack up the tent.

The time was still early. She wanted to continue farming monsters and leveling up! She wanted to improve her strength as much as possible. Although she couldn't help Lin Mo now, as long as she kept working hard, one day in the future she would be able to!

Under Su Youwei's insistence, Lin Mo could only abandon his plan to rest until tomorrow. He packed up the tent and led Su Youwei deeper into the Sunset Plain.

However, Lin Mo was still very considerate of Su Youwei. The two moved at an extremely slow pace. Sometimes, Lin Mo even had to support Su Youwei for her to traverse areas with a lot of gravel.

Fortunately, Su Youwei's body was only slightly uncomfortable while walking. She wouldn't drag him down when they actually encountered combat.

After traveling for nearly ten minutes and passing through a gravel area, a group of special monsters appeared before Lin Mo's eyes.

Giant worms nearly a meter long. These worms had dark orange bodies, and their skin surfaces were covered in viscous liquid. Their abdomens had countless tiny bristles, allowing them to crawl on the ground.

They didn't have normal facial features on their heads. There was only a circular mouthpart filled with sharp teeth.

There were about fifty of them. Moreover, these giant worms hadn't noticed Lin Mo and his companion yet. They were using their sharp mouthparts to frantically gnaw at the soil on the ground, which was stained with Sunset Plain mineral powder.

Lin Mo took a look at their attributes.
