Zhou Chen sat on the tree stump. After an unknown amount of time, he seemed to see some vines slowly climbing up and squirming around the trunk from the root of the tree. Zhou Chen rubbed his eyes and after confirming that he had no fireworks, he immediately woke up the six people.
This time they got up quickly and placed all their sleeping bags on the tree stumps to prevent them from being punctured by thorns on the ground. According to their own memories, everyone stood at the place where the thorns did not hit last time, paying attention to their feet and the vines around them.
Yang Wen, who was watching the surveillance underground, also knew that this operation had been exposed. They were already on alert. This kind of sneaky arrangement and then launching a surprise attack was no longer feasible. Yang Wen waved his hand and said, "Call it off." ,stop."
As the superpowers underground removed their superpowers, the vines climbing the tree trunks quickly dissipated. Everyone waited patiently for several minutes, and not even the thorns on the ground appeared.
Yang Ling breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly: "It's probably just to scare us, or if we see through it, they just mess it up. There may be another wave of raids soon, but it's just a possibility. You have to sleep when you should."
"Next time there is some movement, Zhou Chen, please wake us up immediately. According to the first time, the four of you will each stay on one side. The others will be wary of the earth thorns on the ground. Yutong, you will come through resonance as soon as possible. Find the source.”
Zhou Chen took over Yang Ling's words and said slowly: "This time, the vines are on the roots and trunks of the trees. When you resonate, prioritize the underground and behind the trunks, where the possibility is higher."
Zhang Yutong nodded, and Yang Ling made some arrangements. Everyone took their sleeping bags, spread them out in places where the thorns did not hit, and continued to sleep, while Zhou Chen continued to stand guard.
About an hour passed, and Zhou Chen was still on guard. This time, the vines slowly crawled out from behind the trunk, wrapped around the bottom of the trunk, and circled around until they came to the tree. This time Zhou Chen, who was as careful as he was, didn't find anything wrong.
Following Yang Wen's order, several vines rushed across the ground like arrows, bypassing the four fires, and climbed straight towards them.
In the light of the fire, Zhou Chen saw these vines crawling forward quickly, drawing several wind blades in his hands, and shouted loudly: "There's something wrong!"
The other six people woke up quickly and hurriedly left their sleeping bags. But the vines had already bypassed the fire and arrived next to everyone's sleeping bags. The vines bent their branches like snakes, raised high, and hit the sleeping areas of everyone.
Since most people had experienced two night raids and were now short of sleep, they reacted quickly when they heard the noise, especially Zhang Yutong, who quickly climbed out of the sleeping bag, and the vines only hit their sleeping bags.
However, there is one person among the seven who is very obsessed with doing things, including sleeping. After Ma Jiao woke up, he was in a daze, and his subconscious told him that it was time to fight, but the confusion in his body only made him crawl out of the sleeping bag half-body.
Among the six sleeping people, only Ma Jiao was hit hard by the vine, hitting his legs that had not taken out the sleeping bag in time. The severe pain woke Ma Jiao completely, but his conditioned reflex made him subconsciously spread his legs.
With a "whisper", another innocent sleeping bag suffered.
After Ma Jiao woke up, he endured the pain in his legs and tried to find the vine to save, but the vine had been burned to ashes by Ye Ning's flames. Ye Ning saw Ma Jiao getting up and said quickly: "Ma Jiao, I'll leave this to you, I'll go to Yang Ling and the others to help."
Ma Jiao responded to Ye Ning by using the thunder in his hands to turn the vines that came at him into ashes. Seeing this, Ye Ning also opened her legs and ran towards Yang Ling.
Ye Ning opened her legs, took long strides, and ran forward with long strides. She stepped out with her right leg, landed on her right foot, and raised her left leg. Just when this action was just taking place, the earth attribute users underground started to exert their strength.
Earth thorns quickly rose up from the ground. This time, the height increased from the original ten centimeters to more than half a knee. These underground earth-attribute power users have been accumulating power for a long time. Within the scope of abilities specified by the military, they can use this attack.
The first soil spike was low and slow, aiming to warn them that there was danger here. After all, the road ahead was still long, and there were more tests. It was okay to hurt them, but not too hard, so they were underground. Funny.
This second earth thorn is in the same position as the first. It mainly serves to limit and block the field of vision. It can also mess up their rhythm. It is not intended to hurt them. And it couldn't hurt them in the first place.
It's just that Ye Ning happened to run into this unsafe area. He rose up from the ground quickly and violently, and stabbed the knee of Ye Ning's raised left leg.
Fortunately, this happened to be a running posture. The vines attacked from the ground this time, and such high soil thorns could just cover it. Otherwise, if the soil thorns were higher, Ye Ning would suffer a serious blow.
The soil thorn stabbed Ye Ning's knee. The tip pierced the flesh and hit the kneecap. Although it did not penetrate the knee, the impact force, especially when Ye Ning was running, made his body unbalanced and moved towards him. Toppled forward.
Ye Ning was in a hurry. At this embarrassing moment when he was about to fall, he tried to retain some dignity in front of the person he liked. He stretched out his hands full of flames to support his body and ensure that he did not fall to the ground.
Ye Ning knelt on one knee with his right leg. His left leg had to be bent because of the pain. He just dragged it on the ground with his hands on the ground. The flames spread rapidly forward with his hands. With the fire control technique he learned from Commander Jiang, Ye Ning could control the intensity of the flames exquisitely, and the sparks moved forward quickly, leaping in front of Yang Ling and Zhang Yutong, and quickly ignited a raging fire, forming a wall of fire.
The sudden protrusions of soil thorns on the ground make these vines move flexibly and quickly like snakes in the grass. Under the cover of night, the vines are even more at home, making it difficult to find their traces.
Yang Ling's powers were restrained, and Zhang Yutong was only C-level. It was indeed a little difficult for the two of them to deal with it. They could only barely resist. A wall of fire suddenly appeared in front of them, and the vines extending from the ground were blocked by this. The wall of fire blocked the outside.
Yang Ling looked back along the sparks under the fire wall and saw Ye Ning lying on the ground, casting spells seriously. At that moment, Ye Ning was really deceived, and the pressure on the two of them was relieved and they were liberated.
"Yutong, resonate quickly!" Yang Ling quickly urged. As long as they find the root cause, they might pass this test. Zhang Yutong stirred up waves of green halo to resonate as before.
But just like the first time, as soon as the resonance started, Yang Wen directly ordered the attack to stop. The vines and thorns dissipated instantly, and the whole scene became calm again, as if nothing had happened.
Ye Ning limped his left leg and stood up. At this moment, everyone's attention was in the darkness in the distance. No one noticed his slight physical discomfort. His "wise image" was saved in front of Yang Ling.
After waiting for a minute, there was still no movement. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief again. Only Ma Jiao looked at his newly burst sleeping bag on the ground and said distressedly: "Then, just the two of us will stand guard next."
"Then I'll leave it to you two." Yang Ling yawned and said, "Everyone, please go on to rest and don't sleep too much. I estimate that we will come back a few times tonight."
After saying that, the other five people returned to their sleeping bags and rested. Zhou Chen looked calm and sat on the tree stump again to stand guard. Ma Jiao looked disappointed and disappointed, immersed in the pain of not being able to sleep, and sat back to back with Zhou Chen, reluctantly standing guard.
The two of them stood guard. At least they had a companion in the loneliness of the dark night, and their efficiency was slightly improved. Without Zhou Chen's company, Ma Jiao would most likely fall asleep while standing guard alone.
About an hour later, rustling sounds sounded around the environment again. The two felt something moving and quickly woke up the other five people.
With their previous experiences, they were able to handle these vines and thorns quickly and with ease, and they cooperated tacitly. Act quickly according to the previously assigned tasks, giving Zhang Yutong enough time to resonate and position.
Just like the previous situation, as soon as Zhang Yutong started to resonate, the vines and soil thorns quickly dispersed without a trace. Zhou Chen discovered the pattern of this attack and kept saying: "It seems that every hour or so, they will launch an attack. Once Zhang Yutong starts to resonate, they will immediately withdraw the attack."
"It seems that this is indeed the case, then everyone can sleep peacefully and follow this rhythm." Yang Ling responded. After waiting for a while, everyone continued to go back to their sleeping bags to sleep, leaving Ma Jiao and Zhou Chen to continue to stand guard.
After mastering the rules, the next two raids organized by Yang Wen were resolved safely. Each time they were resolved in just a few minutes. It was already three o'clock in the morning.
In the following time, they did not encounter any more night attacks. Zhou Chen and Ma Jiao thought they found that the rules were broken and passed the night's test, so they stopped harassing them.
In fact, they only plan to harass them to this point and then stop. The rest of the time should be allowed to rest. After all, this is just ordinary training and testing. There is no need to torture them like that. Enough is enough.
Ye Ning and others were able to sleep peacefully for a few hours. After the last attack, Yang Wen also took most of the people to prepare for tomorrow's test. Only a few people were left behind, and he called Ye Ning and the others to get up in a special way.
During the long night, Ye Ning and Ma Jiao stayed at their posts, doing their due diligence and spent a very boring night. There was no movement for several hours in a row, which made Ma Jiao also drowsy and fell asleep. There are constant "nods" on the tree stump.
Suddenly, several rows of earth thorns protruded from the ground, making Zhou Chen and Ma Jiao wake up again.
