Chapter 669: The Terror Called Rangers! (1/2)

In fact, Cang Lan did not lie to Bai Xiaofei. He really visited when he was free, but ever since the last time he was almost caught, his range of activities had been fixed to around the tree where Bai Xiaofei had first appeared on.

If there were ripe fruits, he would eat one or two, otherwise, he’d directly go back…

Of course, Cang Lan definitely would not tell him about this, so his suspicion was quite reasonable. After all, Cang Lan didn’t value delicious food enough to risk his life for it.

Exiting his daze, Bai Xiaofei then continued to look around. The performance of the patrol team just now had greatly alarmed him.

During the problem, they didn’t lose composure. In their team of ten, four stayed where they were and continued to observe while the other six investigated the surroundings. And after they had issued an alarm, the rest of the other teams also stopped, cutting off the possibility of the opponent creating a diversion.

This was the detail that made Bai Xiaofei extremely desperate. Experience accumulated over generations was truly impossible to bypass!

Fortunately, Bai Xiaofei didn’t take the risk for nothing. He found three ripe Crystal’s Longings on this tree.

During every two-second gap, he would carefully move and slowly pick a fruit without forgetting to replace it with a fake that Cang Lan had given. Every 30 minutes, someone would count the fruits on the tree. If the quantity was off, the energy-draining formation would be activated as well.

Struggling to pick up the three Crystal’s Longings, Bai Xiaofei was so exhausted to the point he felt paralyzed. This was definitely the hardest fruit to pick in the world!

After a short rest, he looked toward a new target, but before he could act, two rangers holding notebooks came up and scared Bai Xiaofei into lying flat on a trunk again.

“Three mature ones, sixty-six near maturity, no problem.”

One of the rangers marked the notebook with their pen as they carefully counted the fruits one by one. Bai Xiaofei was constantly anxious during this process. Fortunately, they finished without finding a problem…

“Wait!”

Bai Xiaofei hadn’t even caught his breath when the other ranger suddenly shouted. Bai Xiaofei’s heart jerked again.

“What’s the matter?”

“The size of No.7681 seems to be wrong, and its luster… a lot dimmer!”

That sentence shocked Bai Xiaofei completely.

The hell!!!! You can remember the size?! And luster?! How do you cultivate your eyes?!

“I’ll go up and have a look!”

Knowing the situation was bad, Bai Xiaofei decisively acted.

He stuck a piece of yellow paper on the tree, and before the ranger climbed up, he leaped out from the branches and rushed to the tree where he had first appeared.

“There’s someone there! Activate the formation!”

An alarm resounded, and immediately, a special force activated on Bai Xiaofei. He felt like there were dozens of pumps sucking out his energy together. In just half a second, half of his energy was gone.

Jumping back to the anchor point, Bai Xiaofei crushed the paper on it without hesitation. A light flashed and he appeared outside the fruit forest.

The cotton shirt he wore was soaked with sweat.
