Zhou Chen and Ma Jiao quickly called out to the people around them, and everyone quickly left their sleeping bags and followed the routine they had practiced all night to deal with the incoming vines.
However, the soil thorns on the ground immediately dispersed, and the vines they expected did not appear. Zhang Yutong had quickly started to resonate, but there was no response from the surroundings.
It turned out to be a false alarm.
Ye Ning looked around. The surroundings were a little brighter than at night. He could already see some of the surrounding areas clearly. He looked up at the sky, which was still dark and unable to find traces of the sun and moon. Ye Ning yawned and stretched out his arms. He stretched himself and slowly asked: "What time is it now?"
"It's already quite bright. It's probably already dawn before dawn." Yang Ling responded.
"I often stay up late at home during the summer vacation. Once I feel sleepy, it means it's at least past five o'clock." Ma Jiao looked sleepy and listless.
"It should be nearly seven o'clock then. You have been dozing off for more than an hour. Because there is no movement around, I don't have the nerve to call you." Zhou Chen's face was calm and his tone was calm, without any waves.
This made Ma Jiao blush and said quickly: "Since it's getting late, let's roast some wild vegetables before the fire is out. After eating, we can continue on our way."
Everyone packed their sleeping bags into their backpacks and exercised a little to invigorate their muscles. They talked to each other to clear their heads. Ye Ning and Yang Ling roasted the remaining wild vegetables. After experiencing the torture last night, everyone was already hungry and quickly ate up all the roasted wild vegetables.
There was still enough water left in the military backpack. Everyone had enough to eat and drink. Zhou Chen put on his backpack and continued heading south. When they walked past the fire in the south, no one stepped on the thick purple liquid on the ground.
A tree in the distance looked no different from an ordinary tree at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it actually had a slight bulge. The moderately sized chameleon looked at the backs of the seven people leaving, and slowly closed his eyes. The thick purple liquid on the ground also dissipated.
As everyone walked south, they looked for some dry firewood and paid attention to whether there were any wild vegetables on the road. They were worried that they would be ambushed if they separated, but after several days of testing, they all felt that it was safest to stay together.
The seven-member team quickly shuttled through the dense forest. After walking for about an hour, they only picked up some dry firewood and did not find any wild vegetables. However, the sky was still gloomy and dark, not allowing the sun to pour sunlight on the earth.
Yang Ling encouraged everyone not to be discouraged. Maybe the food will gather in the same place. As long as you keep on going, you will get there.
After walking for a while, the wind gradually picked up. After the rain, the forest was chilly and a little moist. Ye Ning said quickly: "It might rain. Let's walk faster."
Yang Ling glanced at Ye Ning and said jokingly: "Hey, can you calm down for a while?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of "hoo-hoo" sounded violently. The strong wind blew up the sand on the ground, and the dust flew up. The branches on the trees danced wildly and slapped each other, and the leaves were knocked down innocently in the whipping. Along with the wind, it mixes with the sand on the ground.
The strong wind tore through everything, like thousands of troops, majestic, and massacre. After about two minutes, the reaction proved what it means to "strengthen in one go, then weaken again, and then exhaust three times", and it quickly withered.
The wind stops and the rain comes! Raindrops the size of soybeans fell from the sky, covering the sky and the earth. The woods are like a big umbrella, but it is a broken umbrella. The raindrops hit the leaves and accumulated rapidly, so heavy that the leaves had to bend over.
One leaf took the lead, and the other leaves followed closely, bowing their heads towards the raindrops. Under the trees, the shade of the trees protected them from the majestic attack of raindrops, but the water droplets condensed on the leaves also fell.
"Damn! I shouldn't have spoken!" Ye Ning cursed.
They were already under this big tree, where could they go to hide from the rain? The whole forest looked the same. Yang Ling hurriedly said: "Wang Shuwei, the two of us will integrate the superpower into Zhang Yutong. Yutong, you use your superpower to condense a big leaf. Let's all gather together to avoid the rain."
As Wang Shuwei and Yang Ling placed one hand on each of Zhang Yutong's shoulders, the power of light and water flowed through Zhang Yutong's body. Green light bloomed in his hands, and a green handle appeared in his hands, extending to the top of his head and blooming. A huge leaf was formed to resist the raindrops above everyone's heads.
Everyone had just used their own powers to form a barrier to prevent the rain from getting their clothes wet. In this wild place, it would be very awkward to move while wearing wet clothes. But continuing to use supernatural powers to resist raindrops will consume a lot of supernatural energy.
Yang Ling's proposal essentially consumes Zhang Yutong's personal power to help everyone avoid the rain. The help of Yang Ling and Wang Shuwei's powers can allow Zhang Yutong to consume less power and maintain it longer.
Although it was raining, they could not stop moving forward. Zhang Yutong walked at the front holding an "umbrella", followed closely by Yang Ling and Wang Shuwei, constantly injecting vitality into his special powers. The others followed slowly behind. Heading slowly towards the south.
The loose soil on the ground was also washed away by the raindrops, becoming soft and sticky. It continued to embrace the raindrops that came one after another, and turned into puddles of quagmire. Once you step on it, it will stick to the soles of your feet and hug you tightly. The soles of the shoes left rows of chaotic footprints.
After about an hour, the rain gradually lightened up. About another hour passed, bit by bit, patter, patter, and it seemed that there was no such arrogance.
It turned into light rain, and the woods were enough to shelter them, but the previous shade of the leaves now turned into another rain. Raindrops the size of soybeans continued to fall rapidly from the leaves. Although the rain was light, the raindrops they caught But it's not small.
As Zhang Yutong took a deep breath and released his hands, the leaves above everyone's heads also dispersed, and the accumulated raindrops quickly hit their heads.
Zhang Yutong panted and apologized quickly, with a slight weakness in his voice: "I'm sorry, I really don't have any strength. My supernatural energy has been exhausted and I can't hold on anymore."
Yang Ling hurriedly helped Zhang Yutong and said quickly: "Then let's take a rest first. Zhou Chen, get some compressed biscuits, and let's eat some to cushion our stomachs first."
"Then let me tell you, don't use your supernatural powers to block the rain. The rain has become much lighter. There is no need to waste supernatural energy. Just get wet if it gets wet. Save some supernatural energy. I will feel it for a while. Something else is going to happen." Ye Ning answered.
Zhou Chen opened his backpack, tore Ma Jiao's torn sleeping bag into a piece of cloth, and placed it on Zhang Yutong's head. Yang Ling reached out and took the piece of cloth handed over by Zhou Chen, one for each of them. He held the piece of cloth on Zhang Yutong's head with his hand.
Zhou Chen took out a compressed biscuit and water from his backpack with his other hand, handed it to Zhang Yutong, and said, "Eat something and drink some water first, take a rest and regain your strength."
"Yeah!" Zhang Yutong blushed slightly and looked at Zhou Chen, nodded, took the cloth Zhou Chen held up for him with one hand, and said delicately: "Go and pass food to others."
Soon, everyone ate some compressed biscuits. The food that was originally enough for two meals was split into four meals. Everyone barely ate half full, rested for a while, and then continued to get up and set off. .
The rain didn't seem to stop, it kept falling, and the ground was full of mud. But the seven people walked very quickly. They knew that there was not enough food and they had to find food quickly or go back to the military camp.
Along the way, the few people did not see any dry firewood or even any wild vegetables. It seemed that the military had no way out for them, and they had to rely on themselves for everything else.
Towards evening, the rain finally stopped, and everyone felt tired and hungry. According to their normal biological clocks, it should be dinner time, but no one had found a dry place to sleep.
As the team leader, Yang Ling spoke: "It seems that there should be no dry place, and everyone doesn't have to work hard to move on. According to yesterday, the military test should not come until midnight, so we can't Give up the first half of the night.”
"Then I will simply assign the task. Ye Ning, Wang Shuwei, and Ma Jiao, you three will collect some branches. Later, Ye Ning will use your flame to dry them and make a fire at night. I don't need to teach you how to control the temperature. Let's do it." He said and smiled at Ye Ning.
"That's not necessary. Don't worry, leave it to me." Ye Ning gave Yang Ling a smile, and the more subtle control abilities were taught to him by Jiang Kaixu. He was secretly teaching them to Yang Ling. Yang Ling was obviously Played a joke on him.
"The rest of us had no choice but to deal with the big tree. The four of us went to collect a lot of leaves, and then I used my powers to remove part of the water from our leaves and the branches they found, so that Ye Ning could drying."
"Then let's start! The more we collect, the better. We will meet at the same place in a while." Yang Ling gave the order and everyone quickly started to move. After about an hour, the place was covered with leaves and branches.
Yang Ling used her powers to extract as much water as possible from the ground, branches and leaves, and directed it into a puddle not far to the west. Ordinary outsiders may not be able to see the trick, but if a water attribute power user looks at it, they will find that the water extracted by Yang Ling has exceeded the ability of a B-level power user. Obviously this is the credit of Ye Ning's teaching.
Ye Ning accurately controlled the temperature, controlling the flame temperature below the ignition point of the branches and leaves. It seemed to be burning the leaves, but in fact it was drying them. After a while of baking, the ground seemed a little dry.
The ground only looks dry on the surface, but the moisture is actually very deep. Everyone spread the leaves separately to provide cushions for them to sleep on, which could reduce the spread of moisture.
On the tree trunk not far away, the chameleon followed and was watching the scene of them building a nest.
