Chapter 66: Lucky Mid-Year Training (8)
"Huff, huff... Ji, Jixiang, don't run so fast. I, we two want to keep up, we can't keep up, huff..."
"Yes, yes, Ji, Jixiang, really, too, too tired, huff huff..."
Hearing the sound, Jixiang stopped and let out a breath. He looked at Jiang Ke and Zhuang Han who were following behind him in a panic, then looked up at the vague outline of the mountain top under the moonlight.
"We are going to rest on the top of the mountain tonight. Just hold on a little longer, we are almost at our destination." Jixiang encouraged.
"Huff, huff, good luck, I..."
Jiang Ke opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted mercilessly by Jixiang.
"Both of you should readjust your breathing and make sure you keep the rhythm."
As Jixiang saw that the two men had followed him, he immediately started running as well.
The road the three of them were currently on had obviously been cleared and was relatively flat, which was a pleasant surprise, after all, they had wasted quite a bit of time before.
Jiang Ke and Zhuang Han understood this, so even though they felt very tired, they still tried hard to keep up with Jixiang. Although Jixiang didn't feel tired, he tried his best to match the speed of Jiang Ke and Zhuang Han considering their physical fitness.
The wind gently brushed across his cheek, and Jixiang carefully extended his mental power.
The night in the forest comes earlier and is darker because of the cover of various tall trees and other plants. There are insects everywhere and you will bump into a few from time to time.
Jixiang closed his eyes slightly as he watched the mosquitoes flying in the air. A few particularly beautiful and round little insects seemed to be disturbed by humans and scattered in all directions...
Apart from the humans who passed by before, only the forest natives have been active here, and the surrounding plants and land still look happy, calm and peaceful.
Jixiang withdrew his mental strength and opened his eyes.
"We're here." Jixiang said.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ke and Zhuang Han slowly ran to Jixiang, who was again a short distance ahead of them, and stopped. They had finally arrived.
The two men bent over, supported their legs, and breathed heavily.
"Huh...Finally, we're here, huh..."
"Huh... yes, yes, finally, huh..."
Zhuang Han is not so strong for nothing. Although they have the same physical level, his physical fitness is indeed better than Jiang Ke.
After Zhuang Han's breathing calmed down, he walked to Jixiang first and looked north along Jixiang's line of sight.
"Did you find anything?"
Jixiang frowned slightly and said, "We'll move forward a bit later..."
"What's wrong, Jixiang?" Jiang Ke, who had finally calmed down his breathing, also came over and asked hurriedly after hearing this.
"It's nothing. This place is not suitable for camping at night. Let's move forward." Jixiang shook his head, looked at the two of them, and said firmly.
Although the forest was extremely dark at night, their night vision was still good and the current situation did not affect their actions at all.
Jiang Ke frowned slightly, thought about it, and agreed immediately. He nodded to Jixiang and said, "Then shall we go now?" But his eyes were looking at Zhuang Han.
Although Zhuang Han did not notice Jiang Ke's questioning look, he had no objection to it. He patted his belly and said, "Let's go! Let's set up camp and eat something!" He was really hungry!
So the three people who had just stopped for a while set off again.
After advancing for a long distance in the dark, Jixiang heard the sound of water and finally decided on a location to set up camp. Their water also needed to be replenished as they did not have much spare water left.
Jiang Ke and Zhuang Han went to set up the tent, and Jixiang ran to the river to check the water quality.
We were lucky. It should be said that the school chose this mountain because of the good water quality there. After all, they were also afraid that the students currently had too little experience and would suffer a great loss in this regard.
We had grilled fish for dinner. Jixiang forked a lot of fish, which was definitely enough to fill us up!
After the meal, the three of them cleaned up each other and agreed to take turns to keep watch.
Because Jiang Ke's physical condition was a little weak, he was the first to keep watch, Zhuang Han was the second, and Jixiang was the third.
Although the large animals in this forest have been driven away and cleared by the school and border guards, we still need to be vigilant.
As soon as Zhuang Han approached Jixiang's tent, Jixiang opened her eyes and crawled out before Zhuang Han could call her.
"You should go and have some rest." Jixiang said in a low voice.
"I was scared to death!" Zhuang Han almost screamed when he saw the head suddenly popping out of the tent, but he was still so scared that he rubbed his heart and said, "You are very alert today."
Zhuang Han teased quietly, waved his hand and went back to his tent.
Jixiang sat by the extinguished fire for a while, then got so bored that he stood up, folded up the tent, and sat down comfortably cross-legged with his buttocks cushioned.
After making sure the other two were asleep, Jixiang stretched out his index finger, with his beautiful, slender fingers naturally bent slightly. In the dim light, he seemed to hear the sound of breaking ground, and saw a tender bud suddenly emerge from the fingertip, then sprouted and grew rapidly, and finally grew into an ordinary and inconspicuous grass.
Jixiang stretched out his hand to the grass in front of him, and saw the grass at his fingertips pull out the roots hidden in his fingertips, firmly rooted into the real soil, and then blended into the other grasses.
Jixiang withdrew his hand, tapped his knee with one finger and supported his chin with the other hand, looking lazy.
In fact, the grass was collecting information about this land with the help of the spiritual power just now.
Not for cheating, but for peace of mind.
Jixiang always felt that there was a presence in the air here that she was not familiar with, a completely strange presence.
The inability to distinguish between good and evil is a sense of complete disharmony, a very abrupt existence.
You know, Jixiang and Old Man Ji have traveled to almost every place they could go on this planet, and she has sensed most of the existence of this planet with her mental power. Although this mountain range is a non-open mountain range she has never been to, there should not be anything special that can cause her special mental power to sense it.
Could it be a specialty of this mountain range?
Jixiang thought as she carefully spread out her mental power. She didn't dare to cause trouble by being too reckless. She had to be careful and slowly investigate, spreading out and hiding at the same time. Finally, she had to clean up the traces of mental power. She was considered an expert...
Suddenly, Jixiang stopped tapping his knees with his fingers, frowned and felt it carefully.
It turned out to be a pregnant beast...
It seemed as if there was something wrong with the fetus, and the little animal was in particular pain and irritability.
Jixiang felt the disharmony emanating from the little beast, and wondered uncertainly, is he mentally ill? This... this was her blind spot in knowledge. Prenatal depression seemed to be very complicated...
The sky began to brighten, and Jixiang, whose doubts were temporarily resolved, stopped worrying about it. After all, there were border guards hidden in the mountains, and she was just curious and confused.
The three of them ate the fish that had been grilled the night before, drank some water, packed up their things, and set off immediately. They first had to go to the fixed supply point on the top of the mountain to get additional supplies and collect glacier supplies, and then immediately go down the mountain to check in.
