After Wu Shaozhen and Young Master Huang passed through the cave at the bottom of the pool, they kept swimming upward and soon surfaced. It was another pool in another valley, with almost identical surroundings.
"Boss, did we end up back where we went down?" Young Master Huang asked.
"No. The corpses should have despawned by now, but the traces of battle wouldn't disappear that quickly. There clearly hasn't been a fight here." Wu Shaozhen climbed out and headed out of the valley, with Young Master Huang hurrying after him.
Beyond the valley lay another bamboo grove. If Wu Shaozhen hadn't been certain of his judgment, even he would have thought they were still in the same place.
"Boss, why do I feel like this is the same place? Even the bamboo looks identical," Young Master Huang said in confusion.
"It isn't. This place is much more dangerous. Be careful," Wu Shaozhen said, leading the way into the bamboo grove.
They advanced step by step. Before they had gone far, they suddenly spotted plump figures running toward them. With their round bodies, endearingly innocent looks, and two black eye patches, they were almost unbearably cute.
"Giant pandas? I didn't expect the game to have giant pandas too," Young Master Huang said in surprise.
"Giant pandas, my ass! Those are Iron-Eating Beasts!" Wu Shaozhen said exasperatedly, then immediately cast Insight on one.
