Live Strong in the Wilderness

"The air here is still quite humid. Although it’s still very hot, it doesn’t have that stifling feel," Xu Yi glanced at the sky; it was only half an hour until dark, but the temperature was still very high.

As for the dangers inside, Xu Yi thought there was no need to worry too much. Once they entered tomorrow, they would naturally find out.

This border area was still relatively safe.

At least, the fierce beasts of the desert hadn’t attacked them, which made people feel relieved.

"Yeah, it’s definitely more comfortable here than in the desert," Qin Fan said, stroking the tall tree beside him.

The bark of this tree had fine textures, somewhat like that of pine, but the texture was very small, and it felt quite smooth to the touch.

The diameter of this tree was small, within 50 centimeters, but its height was astonishing, most were seventy to eighty meters tall.

Their canopies were located quite high, gathered at a place ten-odd meters at the top, and below the canopy was smooth. These tree canopies were very regular in shape, resembling giant umbrellas.

At present, it seemed that all the trees in this jungle were these giant umbrella trees.

Many of the teams laid out their sleeping bags on the ground and rested in them.

They had been on the move and fighting all day; everyone was exhausted.

Now, without the worry of being attacked, they could naturally lie down and rest.

Lu Ke also laid out her sleeping bag, but she didn’t sleep; instead, she was practicing the Spiritual Meditation Method.

The battle today made her realize her own weakness.

If she weren’t too weak, Xu Yi wouldn’t have gotten hurt. Therefore, she felt very guilty and just wanted to focus on training, striving to become stronger.

The other team members were training their Telekinesis.

Getting stronger was everyone’s mutual wish.

Xu Yi also took out his sleeping bag and laid it on the ground.

The Black Qilin immediately lay down beside it, knowing that Xu Yi intended to sleep now and it had to start keeping watch.

Once Xu Yi lay down, he immediately began cultivating the Supreme Profound.

This was his second time cultivating the Supreme Profound, so he still couldn’t activate Spiritual Vision; naturally, keeping watch was left to the Black Qilin.

The night was relatively calm; at least, Xu Yi wasn’t awakened.

This indicated that no danger approached.

The next day, before dawn, Xu Yi finished his cultivation.

After a night’s practice, Xu Yi became familiar with the Supreme Profound.

By his estimation, in another two days, he should be able to train the Supreme Profound while activating Spiritual Vision.

"System, check-in." Xu Yi said with some anticipation, because today was the 126th day of checking in, and he could receive a weekly gift pack again.

"Ding, seven-day check-in completed, received a Basic Gift Package." The system’s voice chimed in.

"Open the gift pack."

"Ding, received Skill Power Amplification [Instantly doubles strength, can currently last for 60 seconds.] (Basic)"

Xu Yi’s heart skipped a beat. A powerful skill, this was handy, capable of doubling one’s strength and lasting for a minute. His previous skills were 10-second effects, though now with the enhancement of his Spiritual Power, it increased to 15 seconds. However, this Power Doubling Skills lasted for a whole minute, a strength enhancement for a minute, which was immensely useful.

"Accept the Power Doubling Skills," Xu Yi said excitedly.

After accepting it, Xu Yi opened his eyes and crawled out of his sleeping bag.

Lu Ke and the others were already awake and practicing the Eighteen Forms of Body Strengthening.

Currently, only Xu Yi’s team and Qin Fan’s team were still practicing this.

Xu Yi also joined in, and after practicing for half an hour, everyone stopped to have breakfast.

"I didn’t expect we could hold on for 21 days," Su Yan remarked emotionally, after all, each day wasn’t easy.

"Yeah, looking back now, it feels like a dream," Wang Jin also sighed. She once thought she couldn’t make it to the jungle area, but now, they could venture deep into the jungle area today.

Everyone had mentally prepared for the dangers inside. But what kind of dangers exactly, nobody knew.

While the edge was relatively safe, there was no water.

Though it wasn’t clear why the fierce beasts could survive in this desert, humans couldn’t live without water.

"It’s a nightmare; I haven’t bathed in 21 days and feel like I’m about to stink," Lu Ke said disdainfully, although the smell on her wasn’t strong, and everyone was used to it.

"Don’t mention it, just thinking about it makes me feel itchy," Qin Yue said, scratching her back.

"Today, our goal is to find a water source. Once we find it, we can set up camp," said someone from another team.

Finding a water source was almost a consensus.

"Everyone get ready, we’re moving into the jungle to look for water in ten minutes," a girl’s voice sounded.

"Ivica, we’ll join you, and once we find the water source, we can establish camp, just like we discussed before. We’ll all follow your brother, Lei Jie’s, command," another person said excitedly.

"Ivica, that name sounds familiar. Is she that big celebrity?" Lu Ke suddenly asked Wang Jin next to her, after all, Xu Yi and the rest joined later and didn’t have much interaction with the eighty or so teams.

"Yes, that’s her, prettier in reality than on TV. But she’s very aloof and doesn’t interact much with people; many have been snubbed," Wang Jin said, her tone showing a hint of admiration.

"Is she really participating in such a dangerous challenge?" Lu Ke was a bit surprised, given that the initial announcement mentioned a 40% chance of death.

A super-celebrity with countless fame and fortune shouldn’t take such a risk, should they?

"When a superstar loses their aura, aren’t they also an ordinary girl? We have the courage to participate, so why can’t she?" Wang Jin chuckled, thinking Ivica initially planned to try the challenge for a few days but unexpectedly stuck with it.

Now with Telekinesis discovered, who would be willing to leave?

Yesterday, several people were severely injured, on the brink of death, yet they held on?

And they successfully made it through; today, they could already move around.

Those with minor injuries had fully healed.

Someone like Qin Fan had mostly healed, without affecting their combat capability.

"Time’s up, let’s move, everyone stick together, don’t scatter," Jerry’s voice rang out again.

So everyone headed towards the interior of the jungle.

They had barely walked a kilometer when suddenly several vines shot out from the forest.

One person couldn’t dodge in time and was pierced through the abdomen by a vine.
