early morning.

As the sun rises eastward, the other five people are conscious of it without being called. Among the seven, almost everyone's soul power consumed most of the last night, and it was just one night, and it was impossible to return to its heyday. Among them, Lu Yinwei, Shang Qingyun and Lei Xiu rushed to the front line before, so there are still large and small wounds on their bodies.

Zhuang Yi looked at the people present. He was hurt and tired. He suppressed the worries in his heart. On the surface, he looked calm and composed. Zhuang Yi asked everyone to gather together. He took out the map and slowly put his hands on the map. To compare: "Before we encountered the forest elephant yesterday, we were at this position. Driven by the forest elephant, we all fled to the red area to the west. Although the forest elephant destroyed our way, it was precisely because of this. One point, we can walk back along the edge of the place destroyed by him.

Last night because the forest elephant was in anger, we all separated again, so it was not aimed at us. With the forest elephant as the center, the closer the forest elephant is to it, the larger the area of ​​the forest will be destroyed. We can now go east and go back along the edge of the destruction of vegetation. Since we are not sure which direction we are going, if we follow this route, we will go to two places.

Focusing on the place where the forest elephants appear, if we are lucky, if we go to the front, we may be able to quickly return to the route designated for us by the school and complete the tasks assigned to us by the college as soon as possible. If you are less lucky, you will return to the place we have walked a few days ago, or even go directly through the red area to the orange area, and encounter the bee colony, or return to us a few days ago and encounter the level 5 or above. The station of the riot. "

"Back there?" Shang Qingyun frowned when he heard the words. "The college gave us seven days to complete the task. Today is the fourth day. According to the vegetation area destroyed by the forest elephants that day, if we are lucky, we can go ahead. , Then it is still possible to complete the task, if you return to the original station, I am afraid..."

"Senior sister, if you can't complete the task within the prescribed time, will the school send someone to find us?" Zhuang Yi turned around and asked Lu Yinwei.

"Yes." Lu Yinwei nodded, "But because we lost the helper and the crowd was scattered, it would be more difficult for the Academy to find us. During this period, we must survive in the Warcraft Forest by ourselves. In addition, because of last night In the accident, we and the people in the team who were in charge of the food went missing. Although there were some emergency food in the bag, but now I have the bag, only me, you, and Shang Qingyun, and the one standing here, There are seven people in total."

Upon hearing Lu Yinwei's words, Zhuang Yi suddenly remembered that from last night until now, everyone hadn't eaten. He immediately took out the food in the bag. Lu Yinwei and Shang Qingyun also shared the things stored in the bag. Since the main function of the backpack is to carry a personal tent, there are not many things stored in it.

Three emergency personal foods were taken out, Zhuang Yi estimated it, and raised his head: "It is only enough for us to eat until tomorrow. It seems that we have to make a decision as soon as possible."

"I can eat less..." Li Lan said timidly when he saw this.

"I am a soul assistant, and I don't eat much." Zhou Shao said immediately after hearing this.

"I don't have much appetite to eat." Xu Ling, the fourth-grade soul master, pretended to not care.

"Shang Qingyun and Senior Sister are war spirit masters, so you can eat more." Wei Jin said, "Zhuang Yi, your monster has produced a lot of power, and you should also give it more food."

"Alright, needless to say." Zhuang Yi raised his hand to stop their mutual humility, "Even if you don't eat, this is not enough for two spirit war masters to survive for a few days. The best way now is to walk on the same side. While searching for food, Li Lan, I remember that you are a plant-type assistant soul master. You can tell whether plants are dangerous at the first level. Can you tell which plants are edible now?"

Li Lan suddenly hesitated when he heard this: "It should be possible. I can judge whether the plant is poisonous, but I can't guarantee that it is suitable for us to eat."

"My monsters also have a certain ability to discern, and then you will cooperate with it to judge." Zhuang Yi said, looking around the six people, "Okay, now the most important thing is the next route, my suggestion is that I Having said that, do you have any better suggestions?"

Everyone looked around the map, and it was true that Zhuang Yi's opinion was the most appropriate. Seeing that everyone was silent and did not speak, Lu Yinwei gave a final word: "Just do what Zhuang Yi said."

Taking advantage of the daybreak, everyone immediately packed the tent and set off. Zhuang Yi and Lu Yinwei walked in the forefront. In the middle were two auxiliary soul masters, Li Lan Zhoushao, Wei Jin and Xu Ling standing at the outermost part of the team, and Shang Qingyun. Walking at the back, and the only three backpacks left, the seven people began to carry them in turn.

The atmosphere along the way was silent and depressed. Even Zhou Shao, the most frivolous, kept his head down and kept silent, and everyone rushed. The Warcraft Forest in the daytime is very lively, surrounded by insects, flying birds passing by from time to time in the sky, and little squirrels jumping around in the trees, full of vitality.

But once I thought about what happened last night, everyone lost interest.

When I first came to the Warcraft Forest, I still felt that the surroundings were green and full of novelty, but after staying here for four days in a blink of an eye, everyone understood the dangers lurking under the peaceful surface of the Warcraft Forest. Tired mood is more irritable. At noon, when the sun was at its highest, Zhuang Yi ate dry food with everyone, drank water, rested for a while, and soon continued on his way.

Everyone knew that the longer their seven-person team stayed in this red zone, the more dangerous it became.

In a blink of an eye, another few hours passed, and the seven-man team, who had been walking non-stop all day, was not in a good state of mind. At this moment, suddenly, Li Lan walking in the middle made a voice: "I seem to see fruit. ."

Li Lan's words immediately lifted the spirits of the entire team and looked at her one after another. Li Lan felt that everyone was staring at her, her face flushed all of a sudden, she slowly backed up a few steps, pointed in a direction not far away and said: "I don't know if I read it wrong..."

Everyone looked in the direction Li Lan was pointing, and immediately saw a strange tree separated by a few short trees. From the trunk to the leaves, it was crisp and tender green, with orange fruits hanging on it, which looked like plums. It was the same size, and it was visually estimated that there were about ten in the past. It should have just grown out, and it was too late to be picked by other monsters.

The people present, except Zhuang Yi, have eaten dry food with water since they came to the Forest of Warcraft. They don’t know how many days they haven’t eaten the fruit. Suddenly they saw such a crisp and delicious fruit, and suddenly felt that the saliva was flowing quickly. After coming down, the listlessness just now disappeared, everyone staring at the fruit tree.

After a while, Lu Yinwei took the lead and said, "Li Lan, is that plant dangerous?"

Li Lan shook his head: "No, I feel very gentle, the fruit should be edible."

When Li Lan's voice fell, everyone suddenly became more greedy, but after the painful lesson last night, everyone became vigilant. Upon seeing this, Zhuang Yi asked Xiang Leixiu in a low voice, "Lei, is there any problem with that fruit tree."

Lei Xiu stared at the fruit tree with a serious expression, but did not give Zhuang Yi an answer quickly.

Zhuang Yi waited for a while without seeing Lei Xiu’s answer. Seeing everyone looking at him eagerly, he said, “Let’s take a closer look and decide. Even if it did, it was quickly eaten by some beasts or beasts. If the fruit tree itself has no abnormalities, but the fruit is not eaten by animals, it would be a little strange."

Hearing this, everyone nodded and slowly approached the fruit tree.

Until they were only about five meters away from the fruit tree, there was no abnormality. A gust of wind blows, and the fragrance of the fruit is tangy, with a refreshing sweet and sour taste.

"Or I'll pick it." Zhou Shao couldn't help being the first one, ready to move.

"Wei Jin, you use the spirit beast to test it." Zhuang Yi always felt that Lei Xiu's state was not right, and he looked at the fruit tree, always feeling that it was not strange, so he turned his head to Wei Jin.

Wei Jin is a soul guardian, and his second-level soul guardian beast is a small beetle. Seeing that Zhuang Yi wanted to try again, Wei Jin immediately released the spirit beast.

The beetle flew slowly to the tree, lying on the yellow-orange-orange fruit head, the antennae on the top of the head moved and crawled slowly, without any abnormality during the period.

"Okay, Zhuang Yi, you don't have to be too vegetative. It's just a fruit tree that has just grown fruit. There is no spirit power fluctuation. It means that it is not a plant-type monster. Li Lan has also confirmed that it is not poisonous." Shang Qingyun saw it, lightly. He smiled and said, "Why don't I give it a try, I am a war spirit master, with the most agile skills. Even if something happens, I will react the fastest."

Shang Qingyun's appearance is light and breezy at this moment, but in fact, he is extremely unhappy in his heart.

His goal on this journey is to take this to conquer the students to listen to his orders. A few days ago, there was a chance, but because of the conflict between Jiang Xuan and Lu Yinwei, he missed the opportunity. He finally waited for him to coax Jiang Xuan and proceed. Halfway through, he was hit by a beehive again, and he was so frightened on the spot that he was covered with stings. Although he was cured by Jiang Xuan later, Shang Qingyun's mood calmed down so quickly, and he was overwhelmed by Jiang Xuan for several days.

When he finally adjusted back, remembered the business and wanted to continue to subdue everyone, but the forest elephant happened again, and eventually separated from everyone and formed a seven-member team with Zhuang Yi and others.

Shang Qingyun consumed a lot yesterday, adjusting his soul power all night, and calmed down his frustration by the way. Although there were only seven people in this team, they were basically all key figures. Needless to say, Lu Yinwei, that fourth-grade Xu Ling looks dull and has a very high status among the fourth-grade soul masters, and Zhuang Yiwei, Weijin, Li Lan and others also have special identities. If he can eventually play a leading role in this group of people , It can be regarded as a gain.

It’s a pity that Shang Qingyun got up in the early morning, and saw that he had tried so hard to coax Lu Yinwei, who was still cold for a long time, and he was smiling and chatting with Zhuang Yi Zhenghuan. After that, Lu Yinwei didn’t know if it was right. He took the wrong medicine and obeyed Zhuang Yi's words. Needless to say, Wei Jin, Zhou Shao, Li Lan and others have a much better relationship with Zhuang Yi than him... Unknowingly, Zhuang Yi actually achieved the goal that Shang Qingyun had booked for himself.

Therefore, from morning till now, Shang Qingyun has been looking for opportunities to weaken Zhuang Yi. At this moment, seeing Zhuang Yi hesitate, he immediately stood up and "sacrificed himself."

Zhuang Yi glanced at him. He believed in his and Lei Xiu's intuition that there must be a problem with this tree. He was hesitating at this time. Seeing Shang Qingyun volunteering, Zhuang Yi naturally nodded quickly.

Although Shang Qingyun wanted to take this opportunity to show it, he was not stupid. While approaching the fruit tree, Shang Qingyun secretly condensed his spirit power. Once there was any accident, he would react most quickly.

Everyone stared at Shang Qingyun's back and saw Shang Qingyun walking safely to the fruit tree. The fruit tree itself is not high, and it has grown fruit. The weight of the fruit has pressed down the branches. With Shang Qingyun's height, it is just right to raise his hand to pick the fruit.

Shang Qingyun carefully looked around and stretched out his hand. He only heard the sound of "pop", and he picked off the first fruit. The yellow orange orange fruit was held in his palm, the smell was tangy, let alone eating it, just smelling it made people feel happy.

At this moment, suddenly, a green light flashed!

Shang Qingyun stretched all over, reflexively avoiding the green light! The sound of "shuiyan" breaking through the air came, and the green light was like a sharp long knife, sliding continuously in the air, but Shang Qingyun was caught off guard and dodged in embarrassment.

Shang Qingyun’s soul beast is the snow-spotted panther. Under the influence of the soul beast, Shang Qingyun’s skill is very agile, but the green long knife is faster than him, and the green long knife will cut him. Shang Qingyun hurriedly avoided the skin on his chest. In the next second, there was a "crash", and the bag on his back by Shang Qingyun was suddenly scratched. At the same time, there was a trace of no deepness on Shang Qingyun's back. Not shallow wounds.

However, Shang Qingyun's luck was extremely good. Although he was hit, he quickly stepped back several steps with this action and returned to the position where Zhuang Yi and others were standing.

Although his battle with the green ray was fierce, in the eyes of bystanders, it took only a few seconds. Seeing Shang Qingyun returning from injury, Zhuang Yi and others finally saw the thing that attacked Shang Qingyun-it turned out to be. It's a green praying mantis!

This praying mantis is much larger than the insects Zhuang Yi usually sees in the grass. It is about one meter long and about half a meter tall when standing. The whole body is emerald green. It is exactly the same color as the fruit tree behind it. It is extremely difficult to tell with the naked eye which one is a branch and which one is a praying mantis. In addition, this praying mantis is already in an attacking state at this time, but the spirit power fluctuations around it are still very weak, which shows that it can cover up well.

When Zhuang Yi and the others saw the praying mantis appear, they immediately stood ready, everyone increased their vigilance and stared at the insect in front of them. I saw that its forelimbs were like two green broadswords, with a row of hard serrations on the top and a hook at each end. According to the situation where Shang Qingyun and the praying mantis were fighting before, this praying mantis is not only powerful, but also very fast. quick!

"This praying mantis may have used us as food to hunt..." Zhuang Yi stared at the praying mantis closely, and said in a low voice, "It has well-developed forelimbs and sharp tibia, and its strength is estimated to be between level two and level three..."

If it were normal, this praying mantis would definitely not be the opponent of the seven people present. Unfortunately, everyone was hungry and tired at this time. Zhuang Yi suspected that this praying mantis might have seen their fictitiousness and reality, so he dared to provoke him.

"Give me this praying mantis." Lu Yinwei listened and slowly released the soul beast. In the next moment, a two-meter spider appeared behind Lu Yinwei, with eight hideous feet and mouthparts, and stared at the praying mantis.

"Sister, your spirit power has not fully recovered..." Zhuang Yi said immediately, "Wei Jin and I will assist you."

Although there is Xu Ling who is a stronger soul master in the team, Zhuang Yi thinks that he is only dealing with the mantis who has always been level three. He is accustomed to keep it alone, so he arranges Wei Jin.

Wei Jin nodded. His beetle was small, but his defense was amazing. It could form a black carapace in front of him, blocking an attack twice as high as Wei Jin himself.

Lu Yinwei nodded and quickly manipulated the spider forward. The mantis suddenly saw such a big spider and was startled. Knowing that there was no way out, it immediately showed its sharp forelegs and fought the spider.

Although the mantis moves quickly, has great strength, and is extremely lethal, Lu Yinwei’s spider is not easy to deal with. At the same time, Zhuang Yi and Wei Jin are supported by him. About twenty minutes later, with Lu Yinwei’s spider The toxin was injected into the body of the praying mantis, and the battle was finally over.

After this battle, Lu Yinwei has consumed a lot of soul power, but fortunately there is such a big mantis as a tonic. As Lu Yinwei’s soul beast injects the digestive juice into the mantis body and slowly **** the mantis clean, Lu Yinwei not only consumes it. The spirit power came back, and even added some. Because of the failed promotion, Lu Yinwei's face was pale all day today, but after eating the mantis, Lu Yinwei's complexion suddenly improved a lot.

"What a terrible woman..." Wei Jin and Zhuang Yi regained their spirit power together. Seeing that Lu Yinwei had replenished their spirit power in this way, they couldn't help but whispered.

"The faster her strength recovers, the more guaranteed our safety." Zhuang Yi said, "and your spirit beast is also an insect. If you want to replenish your spirit power, you can also use a similar method, fifty steps and one hundred steps."

"So in the future, I will definitely not look for women similar to my soul beasts." Wei Jin said solemnly, "I will look for those soul beasts that are rabbits or puppies..."

"Rabbits can evolve into red-eyed violent rabbits, and puppies can grow into iron-ridged rabies..." Zhuang Yi said slowly.

Wei Jin suddenly turned black.

On the other side, Xu Ling took the initiative to pick all the fruits that the praying mantis used as bait and put them in the backpack. Seeing that everyone was recovering their spirit power, Li Lan walked nearby and picked some flowers and plants to drive them away. insect. The most unlucky thing is Shang Qingyun, not only failed to win the hearts of the people, but also injured.

There are already many wounds on his body. There is no healing spirit master in the team. It is unlucky. Today, a new wound was added, and his backpack was torn by a praying mantis. Not only was his tent damaged, but most of his clothes were also damaged. It's all broken.

After the kind Zhou Shao helped Shang Qingyun deal with the wound on his back, he flipped through Shang Qingyun's torn backpack for a long time, and finally found a complete coat for Shang Qingyun to put on.

Shang Qingyun thought that he had undermined Zhuang Yi before, and felt very embarrassed at this moment, but he was used to wearing a mask. Qingyun also smiled openly and wryly: "Unexpectedly, there is a praying mantis lurking in it. I am not cautious enough."

Zhuang Yi looked at Shang Qingyun with a smile on his face, but his hands were clenched because of the pain of the wound. He usually feels disgusting when he sees Shang Qingyun's falsehood. At this moment, seeing him look like this, but he feels inexplicably refreshed. Zhuang Yi comforted: "You can't be blamed, it's that the mantis's camouflage ability is too strong. Fortunately, you stepped forward and escaped the fatal blow. If someone else were to be seriously injured, I'm afraid."

Shang Qingyun hurriedly smiled modestly. Zhuang Yi said so. At this time, he naturally refused to admit. Although the wound on his back was not deep, the position was not very good. When he moved his body a little, he tore the wound and it hurt. Terrible...

Zhuang Yi looked at his forbearance, just as if he didn't know, he turned his head and continued talking with Wei Jin.

Although Shang Qingyun was injured in a battle, but anyway, Lu Yinwei recovered most of his spirit power, and everyone ate the fruit. This fruit smells very good and tastes very ordinary, but amazingly, it is easy to fill up.

There were eleven fruits in total. After everyone had eaten one, they were basically not hungry that day. Xu Ling put the remaining four away and planned to cut them in half tomorrow and share them with each other.

After eating and drinking, the seven immediately started on their way again. As a result, there were unforeseen circumstances, and the sun was shining brightly in the morning, but in the evening, it started to rain.

It's okay for Zhuang Yi and others, but they got wet from the rain, and the rain at this time is actually good news for them. You should know that most of the water that Zhuang Yi and others carry with them is used to treat wounds, and they are worried about finding a source of water. However, Shang Qingyun was rather unlucky. The wound he had just treated in the afternoon was so uncomfortable after being wet by the rain.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Zhuang Yi and others first set up one of the tents and let Li Lan and Lu Yinwei live in, while the men found a tree hole nearby, and then spread the second tent on On the ground, such five men do not have to lie down in the water to sleep.

Since Zhuang Yi watched the night before, it should be someone else's turn tonight. Among them, Wei Jin participated in the battle today, and Shang Qingyun was injured, so the night's watch fell on Xu Ling and Zhou Shao.

Zhuang Yi didn't sleep much last night. He was so sleepy today. He immediately took Lei Xiu and found a corner to lie down with Lei Xiu guarding him. Within three minutes, Zhuang Yi went to sleep.

After Zhuang Yi fell asleep, shortly after, Wei Jin got in and lay down against Zhuang Yi.

Lei Xiu was sleeping on Zhuang Yi’s shoulder. Seeing that Wei Jin was so close to Zhuang Yi and sandwiched between him, Lei Xiu was immediately dissatisfied. He stood up and stared at Wei Jin with squinting eyes. Under Wei Jin's gaze, Lei Xiu's sharp nails stretched out, and the five-centimeter-long tiger claws dangled over Wei Jin's head even at night with a sharp shadow.

Wei Jin looked at the paw, and suddenly felt a little frightened. He was close to Zhuang Yi at school, and Lei Xiu's temper had been taught, and sometimes even Zhuang Yi dared to scratch it, not to mention him as an outsider.

After the night, Wei Jin didn’t want to make trouble for himself. He stood up helplessly, moved in the direction of Shang Qingyun, and muttered, “What a cat, it’s just a dog, Shou With the fleshy bones of Zhuang Yi, what's the baby like..."

Lei Xiu turned a deaf ear to Wei Jin's words, put away his paws, lay on Zhuang Yi's shoulder and closed his eyes and went to sleep.

After a while, Lei Xiu opened his eyes again, feeling the abnormal fluctuations in the spirit power in Zhuang Yi's body. It looked at Zhuang Yi, and felt that although the spirit power was rising, it was very stable, and Zhuang Yi's expression was not any strange, and he was sleeping extremely deep. Lei Xiu thought for a while and went down again.

Zhuang Yi, who was already asleep, naturally didn't know the episode that happened just now, let alone, he also rarely enjoyed the treatment of Lei Xiu-he was promoted in his sleep.
