Xiao Yi felt the surging power within him, his face filled with shock and ecstasy. His eyes widened, sparkling with excitement, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously lifted, revealing an incredible smile. He felt as if he had been reborn, with a completely new perception of everything around him, and his heart was filled with anticipation and longing for the future.

Some of the others who upgraded their powers with Xiao Yi had their eyes wide open, their eyes full of disbelief, their mouths slightly open, as if they were still immersed in this sudden and huge change; some clenched their fists, their bodies trembling slightly, their excitement difficult to control, their faces filled with unconcealable excitement and pride; others closed their eyes, carefully experiencing the changes in their bodies, their expressions intoxicated, as if they were enjoying this wonderful feeling. Each of them was filled with surprise and desire for new power, as if they saw a whole new world slowly unfolding before them.

Xiao Yi stood there, feeling a powerful and unfamiliar force surging through his body. He clenched his fists and could clearly feel the gathering of power, as if he could easily destroy everything in front of him if he wanted to. His face first showed a look of astonishment, followed by an uncontrollable excitement, his eyes sparkling and shining.

The others were equally immersed in the wondrous experience of their upgraded powers. Some tilted their heads back slightly, their faces filled with disbelief, their lips curling up unconsciously as if feeling the shock of this new power. Others closed their eyes tightly, savoring the changes in their bodies, their expressions gradually becoming resolute and confident.

After a while, everyone seemed to have gradually adapted to this state, and the excitement in their hearts slowly subsided. Xiao Yi took a deep breath, calmed the waves in his heart, then looked at everyone with a firm gaze, waved his hand, and said: "Let's go!" Everyone responded and followed Xiao Yi to move forward. Their steps became more powerful, and there was a bit more calmness and confidence in their eyes, as if with this upgraded ability, no matter how big the difficulties were, they could be easily solved. Everyone's mood gradually relaxed, talking and laughing along the way, with a vision of the future, walking towards the goal with determination.

Xiao Yi and the others hurriedly ran in the rain, the big raindrops hitting them, bringing bursts of coolness. Their clothes were already soaked, and their hair was wet and stuck to their scalps.

Finally, they saw the dense forest ahead, and as if they had found a lifeline, they quickened their pace and ran towards it. The moment they entered the forest, they felt a sense of relief from the rain.

Xiao Yi wiped the rain from his face and looked around. This forest was very quiet. Tall trees were closely arranged, and their branches and leaves intertwined, forming a natural canopy. Raindrops dripped from the gaps between the leaves, making a dripping sound.

Some leaned against tree trunks, panting heavily, while others sat on the ground, stretching their limbs wearily. Their faces still had the flush of their recent run, and their eyes revealed a hint of relief.

Xiao Yi took a deep breath, feeling the fresh air in the woods, mixed with the scent of soil and grass. His eyes shuttled through the woods, observing the surrounding environment, thinking about what to do next.

The others gradually recovered and began to survey the forest. Some reached out to catch the raindrops dripping from the leaves, feeling the coolness. Others chatted quietly, seemingly discussing how long the rain would last. In this forest, they had found a temporary haven from the storm, waiting for the rain to stop and the sky to clear before continuing on their journey.

Stepping into this forest is like entering a dreamlike world. Sunlight filters through the leaves, casting strands of golden light that weave through the air like strands of shimmering gold. The leaves display varying shades of green, some emerald green, others a deep, dark emerald, layered and breathtakingly beautiful.

The trees are tall and straight, their thick trunks covered with traces of time. They are like loyal guards, quietly guarding this peaceful world. The ground is covered with tender green grass, like a soft green carpet, dotted with small flowers, red, pink, yellow, purple, a colorful array, blooming and emitting bursts of elegant fragrance.

The temperature in the woods was just right, neither scorching nor freezing, but rather a comforting warmth. A gentle breeze brought a touch of coolness, rustling the leaves like a beautiful musical composition by nature. Surrounded by this beauty, everyone gradually relaxed, both physically and mentally. Their previously wary expressions gradually faded, replaced by relaxed, joyful smiles. Some stretched out their arms and legs, relaxing on the grass, taking in the comfort. Others strolled through the woods, admiring the surrounding beauty and occasionally letting out a sigh of admiration. Still others closed their eyes, quietly listening to the wind, the rustling of leaves, and the chirping of birds, as if becoming one with nature. In that moment, they seemed to forget all their worries and fatigue, completely immersed in the beauty and tranquility of the woods, their vigilance unconsciously lowered.

In this picturesque forest, the others gradually immersed themselves in the comfortable atmosphere, their bodies involuntarily relaxing. Some leaned against tree trunks or lay directly on the soft grass. Their eyes grew blurry, their consciousness began to blur, and they drifted off to sleep. Some had already gently closed their eyes, breathing evenly, as if they had fallen into a sweet dream.

However, Xiao Yi didn't completely relax like the others. He stood there quietly, his eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly. At first, he was also infected by the beauty and comfort of the woods, and his vigilance relaxed slightly, but for some reason, a strange feeling gradually spread in his heart. He felt that the surroundings seemed too quiet, so quiet that it seemed a little unusual.
