117 First Portal - Part 2 (1/2)
The couple was still in the same house while the group of the Flame Castle camping in front of the house. Yu Shun walked to the window and peeked at the Flame Castle's group.
The Flame Castle also did the same, they were inspecting the portal. They did not dare to enter the portal rashly.
”We will wait for them,” Yu Shun decided to wait for the Flame Castle's group to test the portal. His purpose was not to clear the game, he did not care about the Survival Game, at all. His purpose was to escape from the Flame Castle's pursuit.

Kang Jiayi with his son and his trusted aides also inspected the portal that appeared in front of the first sports hall. A big group of men with green military uniforms surrounded the portal.
No matter what they did, they could get nothing out of it but the countdown on top of the portal. The portal looked ominous to them, none of them even dared to get closer to the portal, they looked at the portal from a distance.
”What should we do, Father?” Kang Zian asked his father. People appointed his father to be their leader until the rescue came, so everything was decided by him.
Kang Jiayi also did not know what to do. The instruction told them to clear the portal, meaning they had to enter the portal to do the objective. However, people fear the unknown, it applied to the experienced Kang Jiayi as well.
He was concerned about his people's safety so it took them some time to figure out what to do. After half an hour of deliberation, Kang Jiayi ordered his son, ”Go meet your sister! Asked that man more information about the portal!”
For his people's safety, he was willing to compromise to work together with the person he labeled as a traitor. He thought Tang Shaoyang should know more information about the portal.
Little did the old man know that Tang Shaoyang and his whole group had gone inside the portal. The only group that fearlessly marched to the unknown space.

”Huh!?” Tang Shaoyang was amazed by the surrounding scenery. In the blink of an eye, the portal brought him into the middle of the forest, yes, he was in the middle of the forest now.
Kang Xue, Zhang Mengyao, and the others had the same reaction as him. They were surprised at the sudden change around them. The big trees with dense leaves surrounded them along with tall bushes covering the lower bottom of the trees.
”It's a one-way portal!” Zhang Mengyao informed as she saw no path to come back to HZ Bay. No portal around them which meant they could not come back unless they killed the boss.
Ding!

Two consecutive notifications rang in everyone's head. At the same time, a round projection of minimap appeared on the top right corner of their eyes. The minimap showed eight green dots and one bigger black dot.
”The green one seems to indicate an ally while the black is me…” Tang Shaoyang muttered in a low voice. Since the current world had changed into a game-like world, he had learned a lot about the game from the younger such as Lu An and Yan Sheng. So he was quick to understand when the minimap appeared.
Sushh! Sushh! Sushh!
While everyone's attention was on the objective screen and minimap, something moved in the bushes. Tang Shaoyang and the others immediately turned around, looking at the noise.
Kang Xue was holding her scythe very tightly as anxiousness started to get into her nerves. Facing zombies was a lot for her now she had to face the unknown creatures.
”Calm down, girl! If you get too anxious, it will only bring harm to you,” Tang Shaoyang rubbed her back gently to soothe her. Feeling the warm hand on her back, she calmed down a little. Nevertheless, she was still alerted to what was ahead of her.
The moving bushes were getting louder and louder. Kang Xue then saw the bushes ten meters away from her was shaking violently.
Plop!
It was a rabbit, at least it has the body and the head of a rabbit with a long horn on its head. A thick white fur covered its head down to the body, pleasing to the eyes. However, Kang Xue did not feel the rabbit was cute, at all. Not even close to a cute being, it was weird.
The normal rabbit had short legs but this rabbit had long legs and had the same size as a big dog. Yes, it was a rabbit but walked just like a dog, a big one.
Not only her, Tang Shaoyang and the others had the same reaction. The nine humans and the rabbit stared at each other for a moment until the rabbit growled at them.
”Grrrhhhh!” The rabbit showed its ragged get shiny white teeth. Saliva flowed down from its mouth as its black eyes stopped at them. The rabbit regarded the human as its prey for sure.
Meanwhile, Tang Shaoyang used his [Detection] skill on the rabbit.
