A few minutes later, beside the fire not far from the small lake, the underwear man whose body was filled with water stains was huddling around the fire while drinking the water from the mineral water bottle. Beside him, Zhou Chen and the others, who were also huddled around the fire, were also drinking the clear water from their bottles.

In the past few minutes, Zhou Chen and the others had collected water several times and filled everyone's bottles. The water issue was basically resolved for them.

Zhou Chen had originally suspected that there was a problem with the lake water, but he was thirsty. The others did not seem to show any abnormality after drinking the lake water, so he could only follow the herd.

The five of them chatted as they warmed themselves.

“The monsters in this Survival mission are very strange. They are either shadow monsters or water monsters, so I haven't been able to kill a single one yet.”

The ponytail girl, who had taken off her jacket to warm herself, complained.

“Indeed. The monsters I encountered in the past Survival missions had physical bodies. I've never seen monsters like these.”

The underwear man, who had dried himself, quickly responded.

“Actually, there are more conventional monsters in this forest.”

At this moment, the young man in the white coat, who was no longer trembling from the cold, looked at the others.

“I saw trees moving on their own yesterday. I think that some of the trees in this forest are definitely monsters.”

The young man in the white coat shared his discovery.

“I also noticed this.”

Zhou Chen replied.

“In fact, I suspect that all the trees in this forest are monsters.”

He voiced his guess.

“That's right! Yesterday, he randomly found a tree and climbed up. That tree waved all its branches and began to attack him. It looked like a tree demon of legends.”

The ponytail girl added.

“Is that so? If the trees are all monsters, then our situation is not good.”

The young man frowned.

“According to the system's usual methods, I suspect that in the next few days, these tree monsters will go crazy and start attacking us.”

He said with a serious expression.

“Hmm… According to the Survival dungeon statistical analysis report released by the Administration, this is indeed a possibility, and the possibility is not small.”

The young man in the green military uniform, who had been silent all this while, spoke.

“You're from our Dragon Country's Survivor Administration?”

The underwear man was interested when he heard the man.

“I am considered an outer member. I haven't been officially approved yet.”

The man in the military uniform replied calmly.

“I have a suggestion.”

At this moment, the young man in the white coat stood up. He did not seem to be surprised by the man's Administration member identity.

“I suggest that we attack the nearby tree monsters immediately and try to heavily injure them before they go berserk.”

The young man in the white coat looked at the people around the fire, and his eyes showed some excitement.

“You're saying… use fire to attack? Burn this entire forest?”

The girl immediately looked up and asked.

“Yes! If we can succeed, we will definitely obtain many rewards.”

The excitement in the young man's eyes was even more obvious.

“Do you still remember the notice given by the system? There are special drops when killing monsters in this dungeon! Are you not interested?”

Under the young man's fervent gaze, the few people who were huddled around the fire were clearly tempted, but some were filled with concern.

“I don't think these tree monsters will stand there obediently and wait for us to burn them. I suspect that as long as we attack, we will be surrounded by the nearby tree monsters.”

Zhou Chen expressed his opinion.

“Your thoughts are reasonable.”

The young man in the white coat looked at Zhou Chen and nodded.

“But nothing ventured, nothing gained. As long as we plan our actions, there's a high chance that we will gain something good.”

“I approve.”

Under the encouragement of the young man, the underwear man, who had already dried himself and put on the weed cloak, was tempted.

“There will definitely be dangers in Survival missions. Instead of waiting for danger to descend, we might as well take the initiative to attack.

I think we can choose the five trees on one side of the lake as our targets. If the tree monsters attack, we will escape to the lake or the opposite side. ”

The underwear man's plan was very simple. It mainly considered the fact that everyone could kill monsters and retreat.

“There's no need to go to so much trouble! We can just burn a tree and see!”

The ponytail girl simplified the plan.

“I think this is a good plan. Does everyone agree?”

The white-coat youth saw that several people had been motivated, and directly began the vote.

“I think… we can give it a try.”

The young man in the military uniform nodded.

“Alright, I agree. At most, we will have to fight the tree monsters.”

Zhou Chen saw that everyone had the intention of killing the tree monsters, and did not disagree. He felt that caution could not be excessive, otherwise, it was easy to miss opportunities.

Just like that, the five people by the lake quickly formulated a strategy. They planned to help the underwear man kill a tree monster and see how the situation developed.

As for why help the underwear man first, it was because he had an ax, so it was easier to hack trees.

Ten minutes later, the underwear man led the way with the ax in hand, while the other four held fire branches. The five of them walked to a rather isolated tree not far from the lake.

“This tree is it. I'll try to cut it down and see how it reacts.”

The underwear man held the sharp ax and walked closer to the tree.

The muscles on his arms twisted. The ax smashed into the tree trunk with great force and sunk deep.

Immediately after, a whip-like sound came from above his head. The tree he had chopped had begun to fight back with its branches.

The underwear man had expected this tree monster to counterattack, so he immediately pulled out the ax from the tree trunk and swung it up, cutting the branch that had come down.

The tree monster was even more furious after its branch was cut. All the branches on the tree began to attack the underwear man.

The underwear man was not afraid at all. He waved the ax rapidly and chopped down the branches of the tree monster.

“This thing's combat strength is only so-so.”

The ponytail girl complained when she saw this. Then, she followed the plan and threw the fire branch in her hand into the broken branches that were piled on the ground. The other three did the same.

The underwear man retreated after continuing the attack for a while, because he realized that most of the branches on the tree monster he was attacking had been chopped off by him, and the branches on the ground were already smoking and about to catch fire.

'It went very smoothly. I wonder whose kill this will be.'

The underwear man thought to himself as he retreated.

A few seconds later, the first flames rose from the pile of branches.. Then, almost at the same time, the ground shook and the surrounding tree monsters rose from the ground.
