This operation takes a long time and we have to stay out at night.
After half a day, Lin Yan stretched his slightly sore waist and limbs. He hadn't done any physical work for a long time, and suddenly it was a bit difficult to do it.
On the other hand, Lan Yue and Huang Qing seemed to be fine, as if the large swaying branches in front of them were not cut down by them.
After dinner was ready, Lan Yue invited Lin Yan to eat and asked with concern: "How are you feeling? Are you tired?"
Lin Yan smiled sheepishly and said, "I'm a little tired. Maybe it's because I haven't worked for a long time. I just need to get used to it in two days. It seems that the usual exercise intensity is not enough."
"Your brain is the most important, leave the physical work to us."
"Lanyue, you are not stupid either. You are very strong mentally and physically. I want to learn from you."
Lan Yue shook her head, "It doesn't have to be like this. You have something in your head that none of us know. You won't be needed to do physical work in the future. If you hadn't insisted on cutting down trees today, how could this have happened. Let me tell you, Just hang around, there are people doing these jobs, and there is no shortage of you."
Originally, I brought Lin Yan here just to let her go out and discover more new things. No one wants Lin Yan to cut down trees. That would be overkill.
Lin Yan shook his head, "Since I followed you here, I must do something within my power. Don't try to persuade me, I won't be brave. I discovered twelve new plants today, one of which is a rare herb. Sure enough, I still want to do it. Get out and move around more.”
Lan Yue stopped persuading, and it was useless for anyone to say anything about Lin Yan's decision. After a few days, she will stop when she can no longer do it.
In the camp at night, snoring could be heard one after another, and Lin Yan actually fell asleep.
Looking up at the sky, it's like a dark curtain dotted with tiny stars. Lin Yan sighed softly, not feeling sleepy at all.
She couldn't help but wonder, in the distant starry sky and universe, was the place where she once lived still there, and was it possible for them to meet in the future?
Even though he knew it was fruitless, he couldn't help but fantasize again and again, looking forward to one day being able to travel through the universe and break away from the constraints of this world.
"Can't sleep?"
The sudden voice in her ear brought Lin Yan back from her thoughts, and she said softly: "Yes, I originally thought that I could have a good sleep after a tiring day, but who knew that I just didn't feel sleepy. Maybe it was because I hadn't slept in the open like this for a long time. Somehow, You’re not used to it.”
"Why don't you practice? You'll naturally fall asleep when you're tired."
"Lanyue, you are really a practicing madman. You will never forget anything. You didn't just finish practicing before going to bed."
"Lying down when you can't sleep is a waste of time. It's better to practice. It will become more and more difficult to cultivate mental power in the future, so you must seize the time."
Just as Lin Yan was about to reply, he suddenly fell silent.
The same was true for Lan Yue. The two of them listened attentively at the same time and felt the unrest outside the camp.
Looking at each other, the two of them gently turned over and sat up, approaching the direction where the movement came from.
The person who was sleeping soundly opened his eyes immediately with some vigilance, and then closed them again after confirming that it was him.
The two quietly walked to the edge of the camp, and the person on duty immediately spotted them and asked about the situation.
Lan Yue asked them to stay on duty as usual and leave them alone.
After walking out of the camp, the two of them clenched the swords in their hands at the same time, and their footsteps became lighter.
After walking a few steps, Lan Yue and Lin Yan stopped at the same time in the dark night, looking at a certain place with sharp eyes.
The movement came from there, and they could already see what it was from this distance.
Lin Yan didn't expect that on the first night, a giant python would come to add to the fun.
A big python as thick as a bucket was slowly coming down from the giant tree. The python's body was still hovering in the tree. The python's head had left the roots of the tree and swam a few meters toward the camp.
It was impossible to tell how big the real person was for such a big guy. For a moment, Lin Yan and Lan Yue looked at each other, neither daring to act rashly.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Lan Yue drew her bow and fired a warning rocket in the direction of the camp.
Lin Yan stared at the python, pointed the crossbow arrow in his hand at the python's eyes, locked it with his mental power, and let go when the python noticed them.
With all his strength, when the crossbow was about to hit, the python turned its head to avoid it.
Lin Yan immediately felt it. Her mental power lock failed and the crossbow arrow missed its target.
"Lanyue, hurry up, the python is angry."
The two fired arrows together and moved separately, trying to distract the python.
But the python was targeting Lin Yan, the first person to shoot an arrow at it. Even a small reptile dares to provoke it.
The person being chased was running around, and Lin Yan was hiding while looking for opportunities.
On the other side, Lan Yue aimed at the python's belly and shot an arrow. Although it hit, it did not penetrate the python's thick and tough skin, leaving only a shallow mark.
Lan Yue was stunned for a moment. Thinking of the python's thick skin, she used her maximum strength and used mental control, but the effect was completely beyond expectations.
His mind was spinning rapidly. It was not easy to break the python's skin, so he had to fight somewhere else.
After the warning rocket was fired, the camp quickly took action. Huang Qing led people to support Lan Yue and Lin Yan.
Lan Yue said directly: "Use large crossbows, small ones are useless."
After saying that, she turned around, aimed at the python's eyes, and shouted at the same time: "Lin Yan, come to me."
Lin Yan immediately understood Lan Yue's intention and turned around without hesitation.
The two of them cooperated tacitly. The python only stared at Lin Yan and ignored Lan Yue. Until the sharp arrow came to his eyes, it was too late to close his eyes.
Severe pain hit, the python's huge body rolled randomly, and the surrounding vegetation and jungle seemed to have been destroyed by a hurricane.
Huang Qing and others saw the right moment, set up their large crossbows, and shot the poisonous arrows into the python's lower abdomen.
Three arrows in succession hit the vital point.
The huge python struggled fiercely for a while and gradually calmed down.
In this battle, everyone cooperated tacitly and acted quickly, and the victory was achieved in less than ten minutes.
Looking at the 20-meter-long giant python, its twisted figure remained motionless for a long time, the wariness in everyone's eyes slowly dissipated.
Huang Qing rushed to Lin Yan's side, "Are you injured?"
Lin Yan shook his head, "It's okay. You guys cooperated very well. The python is too big. If we react slower, the consequences will be unpredictable."
Lan Yue came over and said: "The military has been strengthening training, and such results are normal. Don't be so impulsive next time. We are here, so you don't have to rush to the front."
"Yes, you can't risk yourself. If there are so many of us unable to protect you, it would be the biggest dereliction of duty." Huang Qing looked worried. Lin Yan's status was different and he must not make any mistakes.
Before coming, the four arbitrators called him and Lan Yue to the arbitration court and repeatedly emphasized the need to protect Lin Yan.
Regardless of whether Lin Yan was powerful or not, everyone subconsciously ignored him and pinned their hopes on the military. Huang Qing himself thought so too. His first priority on this trip was to take good care of Lin Yan.
Lin Yan didn't argue much, "Such a big python might attract other ferocious beasts if left alone. You should deal with it as soon as possible."
Lan Yue glanced at her, said nothing, and ordered Huang Qing to arrange for someone to clean up the python.
