Chapter 431
Thud!
Huangfu Miaomiao slipped and fell hard from the tree, grimacing in pain.
The Golden Deer Stag Beetle at the treetop was startled as well. It spread its light brown wings and swiftly flew away.
Huangfu Miaomiao felt like crying.
Her Ghost Shadow Form would have let her climb trees and catch stag beetles with ease, but she did not dare use that ability for fear that other Players would recognize her. So, after taking the quest, she had been clumsy the whole time. Now it was already daylight, yet she still had not completed it.
"Wuwuwu..." Huangfu Miaomiao clutched the spot she had hurt, feeling utterly wronged.
"Miaomiao!" Xiao Shu ran over and asked, "How many more do you need? I've already finished my quest!"
Huangfu Miaomiao wiped the corner of her eye. "One more. They're too hard to catch..."
"I'll catch one for you!" Xiao Shu immediately climbed the tree and looked around. As he searched for stag beetles, he said, "We need to hurry up. If we're late, those teammates over there might not want to play with us anymore."
When forming a team to enter a dungeon, it was quite common to kick out teammates and recruit new people instead.
"Ah, found one!"
Xiao Shu spotted his target. Like an agile ape, he hooked a branch with one foot and hung upside down, then swung himself onto the opposite tree like he was on a swing. His fingers precisely pinched the stag beetle on the trunk.
He grinned down at Huangfu Miaomiao and raised the beetle in his hand. "See? Caught it, didn't I?"
Huangfu Miaomiao smiled through her tears. "Thank you!"
"What are you thanking me for? You helped me too." Xiao Shu jumped down from the tree and scratched his head sheepishly.
