Chapter 146: Powerful Teammates, Gravity and Explosions
Su Ning looked toward the attacker.
But to be precise, it couldn’t even be called a human!
Several humanoid creatures appeared in front of everyone.
[Monster: Long-Armed Gibbon]
Talent: Tireless — As the name suggests, endless brute strength.
Skills: Throwing, destruction, punching and kicking!
Possibly because they had landed a hit, the long-armed gibbons bared their teeth excitedly. They even started jumping up and down with joy.
“What’s going on?” Huang Zhengang also turned to look, surprised that new monsters had shown up.
Pei Xuan’an wanted to roll his eyes at this moment. How should he put it? How could he be this unlucky?
Seeing Pei Xuan’an’s expression, even Bao Song was at a loss for words. He quickly called Nan Sheng over to help bandage him up again.
Su Ning, however, focused on the growing number of long-armed gibbons.
“Be careful. These things clearly don’t mean well.”
Just because it was daytime didn’t mean it was safe. Even though they weren’t in the ocean, this island still harbored various types of monsters.
“Ahhh!”
A scream rang out. Lin Lele and Gao Peng’s group had also encountered an attack from long-armed gibbons.
At first, Gao Peng had dragged Lin Lele away to flee. But now Lin Lele was the one dragging Gao Peng out of the forest by her hair.
Behind them was a whole troop of gibbons.
“What the heck? Where did all these monkeys suddenly come from?” Lin Lele asked nervously as she patted her chest to calm down.
Not getting a response, Lin Lele looked up at the others — only to see them all staring at her with strange expressions.
“Why is everyone looking at me like that?!”
Everyone silently pointed behind her.
Lin Lele turned around — and finally noticed that Gao Peng, whom she was dragging, had rolled his eyes back and passed out.
“Oh no! Gao Peng-ge! Why didn’t you say something?!”
Gao Peng (mentally): What kind of sane person strangles someone with their hair and runs with them like that? Talk? I’ll send you a message in your dreams after my soul leaves my body.
Everyone else: …
Huang Zhengang ignored the comedic duo and instead turned to the encroaching horde of gibbons.
“It looks like the storm blew a bunch of monsters from the island’s center out into the open.”
Everyone got ready for battle.
Just as the fight was about to erupt—
A massive explosion detonated behind the gibbon horde!
Countless monkeys were blown into the air.
Bao Song: “What just happened?!”
He looked at Gao Peng, but Gao Peng’s arm was still bandaged and he hadn’t fired any explosive arrows. So where did that explosion come from?
The moment Pei Xuan’an heard the familiar sound of explosions, his eyes lit up.
“It’s them!”
It wasn’t just the explosions. With the sound of the gibbons shrieking, many of them were launched into the air — and then slammed hard onto the ground.
Then, two men and one woman appeared before everyone.

Their data appeared in front of Su Ning.
Surprisingly, she recognized Zhongsun Junzhang — the older brother of Zhongsun Junhao, the man who had previously tried to snipe Zombie No. 1 in the “Corpse Hell” dungeon.
After several dungeon runs, it seemed his strength had increased significantly.
The other two’s talents were also nothing to scoff at — especially when Su Ning noticed that both Ji Fengyan and Mu Yunfei possessed “Planting Space” items.
That alone confirmed their elite status.
Huang Zhengang eyed the newcomers cautiously. It was the woman who had taken care of the gibbons so easily.
Mu Yunfei.
Despite being female, she sported a cool buzz cut even more stylish than Nan Sheng’s.
Right now, she was flipping a glowing, shiny bead in her hand. Every time a monster appeared, she’d flick the bead — BOOM! — and another explosion occurred.
Any gibbon that came close was instantly blown to bits.
Watching this, Huang Zhengang gasped.
“She’s insanely strong!”
Su Ning had seen their profiles and knew they were powerful — but seeing it in person was a whole different experience.
Lin Lele and Nan Sheng, however, didn’t care about power levels. Lin Lele immediately turned into a fangirl.
“Oh my god! This sister is so cool! I’m in love!”
Nan Sheng also nodded in agreement.
Gao Peng: “Weren’t you just crushing on Pei Xuan’an earlier? And now you’re simping for someone else?!”
Lin Lele: “So what? I switched my allegiance. Compared to this queen, Pei Xuan’an is totally weak and passive!”
Gao Peng: ??
Pei Xuan’an: ????
After wiping out the gibbons, Mu Yunfei walked over to Huang Zhengang’s group. When she saw Pei Xuan’an with his head bandaged, her eyes widened.
Mu Yunfei: “What the—! You actually got hurt? There’s danger even you couldn’t avoid?”
Pei Xuan’an, deadpan: “No one would think you’re mute if you just stopped talking.”
Ji Fengyan stepped forward, glancing at Pei Xuan’an. Once he confirmed he was alright, he sighed in relief.
“You’re okay. That’s what matters.”
Pei Xuan’an chuckled bitterly and pointed at his bandaged head. “You call this okay?”
A flicker of guilt flashed in Ji Fengyan’s eyes. “I failed to protect you…”
Pei Xuan’an: “Who could’ve guessed we’d run into those things at night?”
Zhongsun Junzhang observed Huang Zhengang’s group.
Huang Zhengang quickly realized these three were the teammates Pei Xuan’an had been worried about earlier.
Su Ning’s gaze shifted between Ji Fengyan and Pei Xuan’an.
There was an odd tension between the two — a kind of chemistry that could easily be misinterpreted.
Perhaps due to her heightened senses from her own power leveling, Su Ning immediately sensed that Ji Fengyan was incredibly strong.
And she wasn’t the only one who noticed.
At that moment, all three newcomers turned their attention to Su Ning.
They felt the strange aura radiating from her — something faintly threatening, like a storm held back by sheer willpower.
Then their eyes fell on Youyou, the strange creature beside her.
Their expressions turned cautious.
Mu Yunfei rolled her eyes, clearly bored of the silent standoff. “Are we seriously just going to stay here and stare at each other?”
Pei Xuan’an cleared his throat.
Ji Fengyan remained icy and aloof — unfazed by the awkwardness.
Then Mu Yunfei marched right up to Su Ning.
She was always straightforward. “I’m Mu Yunfei. Wanna be friends?”
Su Ning responded, “Su Kexin.”
The two teams soon gathered together.
Zhongsun Junzhang walked over to Pei Xuan’an and whispered, “How’d you get that head injury? With your danger sense, minor stuff like that shouldn’t even touch you.”
Pei Xuan’an wasn’t sure either.
He only knew that ever since he tried scanning Su Ning, a string of bizarre bad luck had followed — and he couldn’t dodge any of it.
Even his danger sense had completely failed.
Pei Xuan’an shook his head. “No idea. But… I think it’s related to Su Kexin’s ability.”
“…Her?”
Ji Fengyan narrowed his eyes as he looked toward Su Ning.
Just as Pei Xuan’an was about to continue explaining his theory and warn Ji Fengyan—
BOOM!
Ji Fengyan suddenly tripped and faceplanted on flat ground.
Everyone: ???
