After the last experience of being disliked by Wen Jiumo, Stephanie returned to the Guangming City campus and started studying seriously.
She has strong learning ability and high talent, and she quickly learned many skills once she got serious.
She can now do things like mental detection, mental defense, and brain transmission, but her proficiency is still a little behind.
"Then our position is better than that of Team 624. Let's hurry up and get on our way."
Wen Jiu looked at the tall trees around him, then used his wood power to turn into a small red flower, crushed it and smeared it on the nearest tree trunk as a mark.
After that was done, she took Qiao Shishi and the four of them forward.
With Chu Jiayan and Li Qingyu, two gold-type superpowers, countless dead branches and bushes were quickly split open, without affecting the speed of their team at all.
Stephanie, on the other hand, was observing her surroundings as she walked, to prevent the members of Team 624 from launching an attack, and also to prevent the appearance of high-level interstellar beasts.
Wen Jiu and Qiao Shishi were walking at the back. The former stopped and walked with small red flowers as marks, while the latter deployed a flame shield for warmth and protection.
The five people each perform their duties and work together very well.
After walking for about half an hour, Wen Jiu finally spoke up and asked everyone to stop.
"Wait, we seem to be spinning in circles all the time." She looked carefully at the nearby trees, and then searched carefully on them.
Sure enough, it had the red mark she left on it.
Seeing this, she couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
First of all, this is a holographic world and there are no ghosts hitting the wall. If they are still walking in circles after walking for half an hour, it means there must be something wrong with the way they walk.
But how to solve this problem?
She thought for four or five minutes before looking at Stephanie, "Nini, can you use your mental power to detect freely now?"
"It should be possible~" Stephanie tilted her head in confusion, "What's wrong, Xiao Jiujiu~ Is there anything I can do to help~"
Hearing this, Wen Jiu nodded decisively and said, "Then use your mental power to detect as you walk and see if there are any clues."
As soon as the words fell, Stephanie immediately did as she said.
So she gave the others a look, and everyone followed Stephanie, slowly walking forward while clearing the way.
After walking like this for more than 20 minutes, they finally saw a different scene, a piece of snow with no trees to block it.
"Huh~ I finally came out," Li Qingyu patted her chest and looked back, "This forest is a little too weird. I walked in circles for half an hour just now. It's so scary."
Qiao Shishi nodded after hearing this, "It's indeed a bit scary. If it hadn't been marked for a long time, I'm afraid it would have taken us a long time to find it."
Although they had been following around for half an hour, the dead branches and bushes in front of them had left no traces, as if they had never been hacked to clear the way, so they did not notice anything wrong at first.
Apart from Wen Jiu, only Chu Jiayan, who was very good at reconnaissance, had doubts during the process of opening the road.
After all, scouts must master the skill of observing terrain, so Chu Jiayan also observed the surroundings when opening the road, trying to remember the trees that looked the same but were actually different.
But as he remembered, he found that many trees had returned to their original appearance, and he raised his doubts to Wen Jiu in the process.
Wen Jiu also noticed the abnormality at that time, but she wanted to walk for a while to verify it, so she led everyone to walk for ten more minutes.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to rest for a while, Qiao Shishi asked curiously, "Nini, how did you find the way just now?"
"Well~ I just used my mental power to detect while walking, and found that there was a flowing golden light in the air," Stephanie said as she sat down, "Then I took you to find the golden light~ I didn't expect that this was actually correct. Where’s the road! Hehe, I’m very powerful, aren’t I~”
After the words fell, Qiao Shishi and Li Qingyu both applauded.
On the other side, Wen Jiu and Chu Jiayan were sitting casually on the snow, discussing how to defend themselves when entering the front.
They have walked almost three kilometers now, and it is estimated that they will encounter Team No. 624 before long.
Therefore, before entering the empty snowfield without tree cover, they must think about how to defend and attack later, so as not to be caught off guard by the people of Team 624.
"The captain of No. 624 is He Qing, who is also the commander of their team."
"In terms of command ability, she can be ranked among the top five in Rhea Military Academy. In terms of combat ability, she can be ranked in the top ten in the commander department. To put it simply, she is difficult to deal with."
After all, Chu Jiayan has been in Ruiya Military Academy longer than Wen Jiu, so he naturally knows more information about the students than Wen Jiu.
Hearing this, Wen Jiu held his chin with one hand and thought for a moment, "Does it mean that it is difficult to solve for you and Nini, or for other students?"
"Of course, for other students," Chu Jiayan raised his eyebrows very confidently, "for Stephanie and I, it can be solved within five moves."
He paused for a few seconds before he added, "The five moves I'm talking about are one-on-one, not two-on-one."
Hearing what Chu Jiayan said, Wen Jiu felt much relieved.
"Then you guys will take action and I'll watch the show, okay?" Seeing how confident Chu Jiayan was, Wen Jiu thought that he could be a salty fish again.
Alas, it feels good to be a salted fish for a while, and it feels good to be a salted fish all the time!
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Jiayan responded, "No problem, there's no problem with us playing four against five."
In fact, he didn't want Wen Jiu to take action frequently, firstly because he was worried about the other party's identity being exposed, and secondly because he liked watching people pretending to be pigs and eating tigers.
It's so interesting to think that everyone regarded Wen Jiu as the weakest one, but later found out that the other person was a one-on-one opponent.
So no matter which angle he came from, he hoped that Wen Jiu could rest as long as he could.
Anyway, the early game was not difficult. Most of the students at Rhea Military Academy were very weak, and there was no need for Wen Jiu to deal with them.
The two hit it off immediately, calling the trio to rest and chat, and continued walking forward.
They walked against the heavy snow and stepped on the soft snow for nearly 20 minutes before they noticed something moving not far away.
So under Wen Jiu's command, they lay down decisively in the snow, patiently waiting for the next order, and always paying attention to the sound.
After a while, a few chirping sounds were heard, and it seemed that people from No. 624 were coming.
This is the second update today~Please check it out, lovely little angels~030
