Just as he jumped to the ground, a man suddenly came around from behind the tree, and his face changed slightly after seeing him.
Jiang Cheng's face darkened and he pointed the knife at the man: "What are you doing?"
The man hurriedly pointed the tip of his wooden spear at the ground to show that he meant no harm, and said: "I'm looking for a place to sleep. This tree is very big, I..."
"I occupy this place. Leave here and don't let me misunderstand you." Jiang Cheng said coldly.
"Okay, okay." The man glanced at the knife in Jiang Cheng's hand fearfully, and then slowly backed away.
After retreating into darkness, he turned around and started running.
Jiang Cheng stood there for a while, then circled around the giant tree. After making sure that no one was approaching, he returned to the tree hole.
He squatted down ten meters away from the main trunk of the giant tree, used a knife to peel away the layer of rotten leaves on the surface, then placed his palms on the ground and started collecting.
"Small clod +2"
"Small clod +2"
…
Pieces of soil were collected, and a hole soon appeared here.
Because this time he was not digging a deep hole to find water, Jiang Cheng did not focus on one place to collect, but went around the giant tree to collect, digging traps along the way.
The trap is neither big nor small, only two meters wide and one meter deep. If it falls in the dark environment, although it will not hurt you, it will definitely startle you and make some noise.
Ten minutes have passed, twenty minutes have passed, half an hour has passed...
Jiang Cheng glanced at his nearly full space backpack, then looked at the upgrade experience, and found that the upgrade experience had only reached 10%.
"The upgrade experience required after level ten is really quite a lot."
He did not pause, but continued collecting.
Soon, when traps with a width of two meters were collected all around the giant tree, he continued to collect traps on the outside.
The space backpack was full, so he threw the small clods of soil back into the hole to free up the backpack grid. Anyway, the trap was dug casually, and he didn't know what the earth material was used for at the moment.
"Small clod +2"
"Small clod +2"
Time passes minute by minute, and the upgrade experience is also difficult to increase.
The space backpack has been full several times.
When twelve o'clock in the morning came, the upgrade experience had only reached 50%.
"It seems that I really overestimate myself!"
Jiang Cheng frowned slightly, sensing the ubiquitous cold aura. Even those people three hundred meters away began to rest and hurriedly climbed back into the tree hole.
Monsters will appear after twelve o'clock in the morning. He experienced it once last night and didn't want to experience it a second time.
And he saw that no one around was lighting a fire. Even the temporary camp three hundred meters away had extinguished many of the lights, leaving only a few dim lights.
So he didn't dare to take out a bonfire and light it, not wanting to be too unique and attract attention, unless he encountered special circumstances like last night again.
"Jiang Cheng, are you back?" Tong Xiaorou asked in a low voice. It was pitch dark in the tree hole and she could not see anything.
"it's me."
Jiang Cheng replied, then lay down at the entrance of the tree hole and looked towards the temporary camp three hundred meters away.
Thousands of people were seen, all rowing and sitting on the ground around that huge piece of land. They seemed very tired and didn't want to move any more.
But with the current hot climate, the temperature is very high even at night, so I don't have to worry about catching a cold.
I don’t know if it’s because there are a lot of people here tonight, or if the monsters that appear at night are not everywhere.
Anyway, so far, there has been no movement of monsters, let alone the cries of women like last night.
Jiang Cheng watched for a while, then returned to the tree hole and lay down.
Tong Xiaorou, who was next to her, suddenly came closer slowly. She seemed to want to get closer but didn't dare to get too close. She was probably a little worried that he would lose his temper.
Jiang Cheng smiled and stretched out his hand to hug the girl. Although he was not in the mood to do anything because both of them were dirty, the girl's body was soft and comfortable to hold.
The weather is dry and there is a lack of water everywhere. People in the wilderness have not taken a bath for an unknown period of time.
But maybe it's because this body's nose has already adapted to this situation, so it doesn't feel bad.
Anyway, both of them are almost equally dirty, so no one should dislike the other.
Being hugged by Jiang Cheng, Tong Xiaorou's delicate body stiffened slightly, then relaxed, and she lay on his chest obediently like a kitten.
In his previous life, Jiang Cheng didn't have a girlfriend even when he was twenty-nine years old, but now he suddenly has a charming child bride who is only eighteen years old, and she is so well-behaved, so he is very happy.
If the current environment really didn't allow it, he would have wanted to give the girl more love.
Nothing happened that night, and there were no strange sounds outside. It was just a safe night.
During this period, Jiang Cheng also fell asleep for maybe two or three hours, and when he woke up, the sky was already slightly bright.
Feeling that the cold air was beginning to ebb, he was about to get up and get some more experience, but Tong Xiaorou woke up as soon as he moved.
People in the wilderness sleep very lightly, especially Tong Xiaorou, who has been insecure for a long time. Even if she is completely asleep, she will be awakened by the slightest disturbance.
"Wow...wuwu..." Suddenly, Yaya's cry came from the side.
Jiang Cheng and Tong Xiaorou were both shocked and hurriedly sat up.
"Yaya..."
Tong Xiaorou woke up Yaya and shook the little girl's body vigorously.
Yaya was shaken awake and opened her eyes blankly: "Sister... Hey, brother-in-law is still here..."
Then she immediately showed a look of surprise: "Great, Yaya thought you didn't want us anymore..."
Tong Xiaorou didn't know what was touched, she burst into tears and picked up the little girl.
Jiang Cheng's nose felt a little sore at the sight. In his previous life, a six-year-old girl like this would have played in the kindergarten without any worries and happily eaten lollipops at the amusement park.
At this moment, he even had the urge to do something for the refugees in this world.
But thinking about his situation, he immediately calmed down again.
Da Ze can help the world, but now I am still far from it.
"I will always be here, don't worry." Jiang Cheng rubbed the little girl's head and smiled: "No one will bully you anymore, I said so."
"Yeah, yeah, I believe brother-in-law!" Yaya said happily, with a face full of happiness and couldn't help crying. She had never experienced this kind of peace of mind when she was young.
Tong Xiaorou also looked at Jiang Cheng gratefully.
"Okay, don't cry. Let's start eating." Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "We have to continue our journey later. We have to fill our stomachs first."
The two girls' eyes suddenly lit up and they became excited. Is there anything to eat again?
In the past, I could only eat something every three days, either bark or grass roots.
Now I can eat two meals a day, both of which are barbecued meats, which is unthinkable.
Jiang Cheng took out two pieces of barbecue and asked the two girls to share one piece and eat one piece for himself.
One piece weighs a pound, enough for two girls to eat.
"It's really this kind of barbecue. Why is it still hot?" Tong Xiaorou asked in surprise.
Food placed in a space backpack can be kept warm and fresh.
It will look the same when you put it in, and it will look the same when you take it out. There will be almost no change.
"I just heated it up. I am an evolved person now and have special abilities. Don't be surprised if you see any strange things happening to me in the future." Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "But you can't talk about this to the outside world. This is a secret. "
"Yeah, yeah, Yaya will definitely not talk nonsense." The little girl assured with a serious face.
"I won't say either." Tong Xiaorou said seriously.
Jiang Cheng smiled and nodded.
In fact, after knowing that there are evolvers in this world, he is not particularly nervous about his ability being discovered by others.
Although one's own abilities may be somewhat special, other evolvers may not have special abilities, they may just have different fields and expertise.
Now he just doesn't want to stand out because of his lack of strength. To put it bluntly, he himself doesn't have much sense of security.
Everything is due to lack of strength.
After finishing the barbecue in several large mouthfuls, he was about to continue the liver removal experience before setting off, when he suddenly heard a slight vibration.
It seemed like there were thousands of troops running.
"Moo..."
The sounds of cows could be heard in the distance, and there were many of them.
"Tu tu tu tu..."
Suddenly, intensive gunshots were heard three hundred meters away.
"boom--"
The sound of artillery bombardment.
