Adorably Cute Baby: Mommy's Going Against the Heavens

Chapter 245 Still in the same place

She smiled and said somewhat awkwardly, "Hello, hello! My name is An Mu'an, it's nice to meet you."

The five men were taken aback; they had never met such a warm and outgoing woman before.

Seeing that they didn't speak, An Mu'an glanced at the five people and continued, "There are too many monsters in this forest. I'm really scared to go alone. Why don't we team up? That way we can look out for each other on the way!"

As she spoke, she gave a fawning smile.

Shen Yunxi: "!!!!"

Why does this woman look a bit like a simp?

A burly man with a thick beard laughed heartily and said in a loud voice, "Sure, let's go together."

He subconsciously wanted to pat An Mu'an on the shoulder, but when he realized that the other person was a woman, he withdrew his hand and touched his head. How could he have forgotten that the other person was a woman?

He awkwardly scratched his head: "Sorry!"

"It's nothing, it's nothing!" An Mu'an waved her hand.

The other four remained indifferent, their gazes lingering on Shen Yunxi for a moment before shifting away.

There seemed to be a hint of scrutiny and wariness in his eyes, yet also a subtle hint of amazement.

The bearded man, named Li Daheng, was the oldest in the group and was said to have participated in the entrance examination for the Star-Picking Pavilion.

He pointed to the thick fog around him and said, "Phoenix Perch Mountain is divided into three parts: the foot of the mountain, the mountainside, and the summit. Even though we've walked for so long, we're still at the foot of the mountain."

Li Daheng's words successfully caught Shen Yunxi's attention.

Upon hearing this, An Mu'an's eyes widened immediately: "Why do you say that? I feel like I've been walking for almost an hour!"

A look of reminiscence crossed Li Daheng's rugged face. He habitually stroked his thick beard and slowly explained, "The terrain of Phoenix Perch Mountain is complex, especially at the foot of the mountain, which is shrouded in thick fog all year round, forming a natural fog array."

Everyone was astonished, so they continued circling at the foot of the mountain.

Seeing their puzzled looks, Li Daheng explained, "I was lucky enough to participate in the last Star-Picking Pavilion's recruitment assessment. Although the mist array didn't completely separate everyone, our team still experienced a test of getting lost."

"Sigh!" Li Da sighed. "Back then, thousands of candidates were trapped in the misty formation, with no news of them. It wasn't until the entrance examination was over that they were sent out of Phoenix Perch Mountain by a mysterious force. Those people included me!"

The group exchanged bewildered glances, their meaning clear: if they couldn't get out, the assessment would be over.

The atmosphere around them instantly became heavy, and everyone was thinking about how to pass the level.

Compared to Li Daheng's towering figure, An Mu'an looked like a little chick, only reaching his chest.

She asked with a surprised look, "May I ask how old you are, Brother Li?"

Li Da chuckled and said, "I'm eighteen."

An Mu'an: "!!!"

He's already as big as a small mountain at eighteen. If he grows up a few more years, he'll be as big as Optimus Prime!

Just then, a green, drooling monster appeared behind Li Daheng, startling An Mu'an so much that she screamed and immediately took a few steps back.

If Shen Yunxi hadn't been supporting her from behind, she probably would have fallen flat on her backside.

"Thank you, sister!" An Mu'an patted her chest and said, still shaken.

"These monsters won't attack people, they just cause some damage and scare us," Li Daheng said dismissively, glancing behind him.

"Oh, I see." An Mu'an was still a little scared. "Let's leave quickly, these things are disgusting."
