Wilbur had never nned on leaving the forest. Now that Mitch had given him a chance, Wilbur naturally seized it. Mitch feigned surprise and said, "What? You want to keep going? Do you know how dangerous it is in there? Listen, you''re still too young. Don''t take unnecessary risks. Two kilometers is enough distance for you to brag about to others."


    "Sorry, I really want to give it another try. After all, look, I''ve already made preparations for this trip. These pants are really sturdy. Ordinary bloodsucking bugs can''t bite through it."


    Vernon said, "Do you really insist on continuing alone?"


    Wilbur replied, "Yes, but I might not be able to drive you back to the city."


    "It''s okay. We can get a taxi to head back. Just be very careful when exploring the forest alone."


    "Got it."


    Mitch and the others bid farewell to Wilbur and left. Wilbur took out hispass and continued forward, quickly entering the depths of the forest.


    "Boss, that guy really went right in."


    Mitch sneered, "Heh. It seems this guy really is a fool. He thinks separating from us means he''s out of our control. He has no idea how dangerous the forest is."


    "Yeah, the eight of us only managed to go five kilometers. I wonder how far he can go alone."


    "At most one kilometer. I bet Wilbur will be sucked dry by the bloodsucking bugs before that."


    Vernon and the others were secretly pleased, thinking they had solved the problem of Wilbur and rid themselves of a big nuisance. However, Mitch''s face darkened again, and said, "It''s all Veda''s fault. If that guy hadn''t leaked the news about the treasure, we wouldn''t have had to put on this act."


    "Boss, Veda betrayed us."


    "He deserves to be punished. Next time, find a way to lure him here, knock him out, and throw him into the forest to be bitten to death by the bloodsucking bugs."


    Mitch and the others left the primal forest angrily. Meanwhile, Wilbur, who was walking in the forest, saw a dark shadow.


    "Who''s there?"


    Wilbur chased after it, running a few hundred meters. Suddenly, the shadow crashed into arge tree in front of him and merged directly into it.


    "What is that?"


    Wilbur stared at the tree in astonishment, recalling what had just happened. The next second, theyer of fallen leaves on the ground began to writhe rapidly. Wilbur sensed something biting at the leg of his pants. He lifted his right foot suddenly and saw over a dozen bloodsucking bugs clinging to it.


    In the next second, a ck aura emanated from the Light Gloves, enveloping Wilbur''s body and coalescing into an armor. Meanwhile, the bloodsucking bugs touching the ck aura were instantly cut into pieces, falling to the ground.


    However, at that moment, the entireyer of fallen leaves started to writhe rapidly, and in an instant, countless bloodsucking bugs flew out from theyer of fallen leaves.
