Is there something?

He Kun looked at her suspiciously, his eyes sweeping across the girl's smooth profile.

"What could possibly be there in this icy and snowy place?"

He Kun didn't quite believe it.

The main reason was that he had walked this route too many times, always stopping at a fixed rest stop. This rest stop had been painstakingly discovered by the Yalan Star defense forces, and it had remained unchanged for nearly a decade. How could it suddenly be dangerous?

Although he didn't believe it, he still stopped and asked doubtfully, "What did you see?"

Gu Qiongsheng hesitated for a moment and did not answer directly.

Instead, he turned around and made a gesture to Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing and her had a very good understanding. With a grab of both hands, they immediately condensed a giant sickle as tall as a person.

The pitch-black scythe was like the thickest night. Under He Kun's astonished gaze, Zhou Qing swung it lightly in her palm. Immediately, the thin girl stepped on the black tree with her heels, exerted force with her calves, and with the help of her super explosive power and the elasticity of the branches, she suddenly jumped into the air!

The sharp blade of the giant sickle drew a sharp arc, tearing through the wind and snow, splitting the sky, and smashing down heavily on the snow in front of the cave!

"wait--"

He Kun only had time to shout out one word.

Immediately, he watched helplessly as the giant scythe shattered the ice and rock, piercing deep into the ground. From the point where the scythe had penetrated, a large pool of crimson blood spurted out!

“Ouch!”

A painful roar came from underground.

The behemoth lurking there not only failed to feast on the delicious meal, but also had its jaw slit open by the sudden attack. It screamed shrilly, stirring up the wind and snow like a howl, and suddenly leaped onto the ground!

He Kun’s eyes almost popped out.

He had been on duty on Yalan Star for so long, how could he not recognize that the guy in front of him was the ferocious snow beast?

The harsh environment of ice and snow and the extreme lack of food have made the best among them develop extraordinary cunning and wisdom.

This one is a prime example. Disguised as a block of ice, it hides under a snowdrift, waiting for humans to approach its cave before opening its maw and swallowing them whole!

He Kun's breathing gradually became rapid and he couldn't utter a word.

If Gu Qiongsheng had not reminded him, he would have subconsciously concluded that the cave was safe and gone there to rest directly, which would have played right into the snow beast's hands.

But how did Gu Qiongsheng discover the clues when even he couldn't see through the disguise?

Facing He Kun's extremely surprised look, Gu Qiongsheng smiled apologetically and said softly, "My mental power is quite sensitive, so I can easily detect the living beings around me."

He Kun nodded hesitantly.

This is understandable. He Kun has seen some scouts whose mental power has the characteristics of detection and can keenly detect surrounding life forms... Oh, that's not right, wait a minute!

Isn’t Gu Qiongsheng a therapist?

Her mental power characteristic should be healing, not detection!

He Kun's curiosity was tingling, but he knew now wasn't the time to discuss it. Zhou Qing was already wielding her scythe, battling the snow beast. As a regular patrolman, how could he just stand by and watch?

He Kun immediately materialized his spiritual weapon and joined the battle.

"Aim just below the nose," he shouted. "That's their throat, their weak spot!"

At the same time, he picked up a small hand/crossbow, and the arrows were condensed from the purest mental power. Under the cover of flying snowflakes, they were like ice spikes breaking through the air, aiming at the snow beast's weaknesses and shooting continuously!

Blood splattered and the snow beast howled more miserably.

"Hurry!" He Kun shouted again, "Don't let it howl. Snow beasts are social animals. They will attract more enemies!"

Hearing this, Zhou Qing did not hesitate. He quickly flipped the long handle of the giant sickle in his palm and swung it out, leaving an afterimage like a fluttering butterfly.

The snow beast was dazzled and didn't know which direction to attack, so it froze for a moment.

And at this moment, the giant sickle and arrow were launched at the same time, piercing the lower part of the snow beast's nostril and piercing its throat!

The snow beast hung on the huge sickle, struggling weakly with its limbs, a few traces of blood foam flowing out of its mouth. Finally, its huge body could not support it and fell heavily into the cave.

"boom!"

Snow foam is flying.

In the cold wind, Zhou Qing wiped the blood off her cheek and happily made a "success" gesture to Gu Qiongsheng.

He Kun shouted from behind: "Don't go over there yet, be careful of this guy faking his death!"

He aimed at the snow beast's limbs and shot a few more arrows. The snow beast, which was lying on the ground, suddenly convulsed several times, bared its fangs, and let out a cry of unwillingness.

Finally, he collapsed completely to the ground and could not move anymore.

He Kun approached carefully and poked the snow beast's body with a cut branch. Seeing that there was indeed no response, he called Zhou Qing and Gu Qiongsheng over.

At this moment, the way he looked at the two girls changed completely.

Not only Gu Qiongsheng's reconnaissance ability, but also Zhou Qing's combat power opened his eyes - now He Kun finally began to believe Zhou Feng's words. The two girls in front of him were not spoiled young ladies, especially Zhou Qing. The black giant sickle was wielded with a murderous aura, as if she had fought her way out of a sea of ​​blood and swords.

It is a real battlefield, real blood.

It's not like the playhouse stuff in the school training camp.

He Kun was silent for a moment, then suddenly saluted the two of them solemnly: "Thank you."

His attitude changed so quickly that even Gu Qiongsheng felt uncomfortable. He quickly said, "No, no, Brother Kun, you've been protecting us all the way."

He Kun shook his head: "You saved my life."

If they hadn't warned me, I would have fallen into the trap and my throat would have been bitten through by the snow beast.

And... if he hadn't drawn the red chopsticks, he would still have encountered misfortune when he was patrolling alone and walked here at this moment.

He Kun took a deep breath in his heart.

He originally thought that he was extremely unlucky for drawing the red chopsticks, but he never expected that it was actually the most merciful favor from fate.

On the other side, Gu Qiongsheng looked at the snow beast's corpse curiously.

In fact, it is not as big as a brown bear. It is a creature similar to a cheetah and a snow lion. However, through years of survival of the fittest, it seems to have evolved a crude prototype of mental power, allowing it to travel through wind and snow and survive in the dark forest.

Immediately, Gu Qiongsheng thought of a key question.

"A snow beast has appeared in this cave. Can we still rest here?"

He Kun was silent for a moment, then shook his head. "...You're right. Snow beasts won't easily leave their habitats, but once they do, they often travel in large groups."

"The underground here might have been surrounded by snow beasts. We can't stay here, we have to leave quickly."

After saying this, He Kun felt a headache again.

He was already very tired, and he had just fought a battle, so he really didn't have enough mental strength now.

The young soldier frowned in distress, and secretly glanced at Gu Qiongsheng and the other two out of the corner of his eye, wondering, these two girls must have consumed quite a lot of energy just now, how come they acted like nothing happened?

Gu Qiongsheng had a sharp eye and noticed He Kun's predicament.

She smiled gently, walked forward, and waved to the young man: "Come on, try my healing skills."

…

In the midst of the wind and snow, He Kun froze.

Under the goggles and windshield, the tough face gradually turned red.

He really wanted to go back an hour and a half and give himself a big slap in the face - call you stubborn, call you stereotype, call you for jumping to conclusions without investigation.

Don’t you know that if you have no experience, you have no right to speak?

This healing technique, this fucking thing is simply—

It’s so cool, so awesome!

It was as if a warm current was resonating in the body, and the body temperature rose wherever it passed, and the mental strength was like a revived spring, gurgling out clear and sweet spring water.

The world seemed to be split into two halves in an instant, one half was the howling blizzard, and the other half was him shrouded in warmth and gentleness within the healing technique. The severe coldness of the entire world quickly receded like a tide, leaving only all the warm and gentle atmosphere, softly lingering around his body, making people unable to help but be intoxicated.

The two girls were able to get through the whole process with ease. Was it because of this magical healing technique?

He Kun's face was numb, and he secretly pinched himself hard in private - he was suffering for being too proud. He secretly cursed in his heart that if he had let go of his face earlier, he would have been able to enjoy such a wonderful treatment!

"……Thanks."

He Kun suddenly felt very grateful to Blizzard, and thanked the goggles and thick insulation equipment, so that Gu Qiongsheng and the others could not see his face that turned red with embarrassment.

He paused, feeling the spiritual power filling his body, and couldn't help but repeat: "Thank you."

"Nothing," Gu Qiongsheng waved his hand with a smile, "This is my duty."

With her help in replying, the group didn't need to stay in the cave for a long time, so they packed up their things and continued walking towards the sentry post.

After a while, He Kun couldn't help himself and turned around to walk alongside the two girls, whispering, "Are you really here to gain experience?"

Gu Qiongsheng and the others nodded: "Yes, we are the champion team of the inter-school league."

"...Fuck," He Kun cursed softly. When he looked up, he hurriedly explained, "Sorry, I'm not talking about you guys. I want to say...I'm sorry."

I'm sorry for looking at them with stereotypes and prejudice, and embarrassing them in the base.

"It's okay, it's okay," Gu Qiongsheng said with a smile, "Brother Kun, you are also thinking about the safety of your teammates and the honor of Yinhui."

"If I were you, I would immediately question it."

"It's better to bring some conflicts out into the open than to engage in subtle actions behind the scenes, right?"

He Kun: “…”

“…Yeah, that’s right.”

He Kun thought about how he fell into the snow pit and scared the two girls, and he broke into a cold sweat with a guilty conscience.

After a while, he remembered something and asked curiously, "By the way, isn't your psychic ability about reconnaissance?"

"Can it also heal? Dual traits?"

Gu Qiongsheng hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Actually, it's more than that."

He Kun: “……?”

Zhou Qing said proudly, "Sister Qiongsheng is amazing! Not only that, she can also repair equipment, including the power boots on our feet. She can also help charge them."

He Kun: “???”

What the hell?

He was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Zhou Qing's serious look, he suddenly realized that the girl in front of him was not lying.

Everything she said was true.

so……

He Kun's heart was filled with shock and amazement. He wondered what kind of true god the lieutenant colonel had arranged to come to Yalan Star for training?

On the other side, Gu Qiongsheng suddenly thought of something.

With Zhou Qing's help in explaining, she realized that she had made up so many "characteristics".

But in fact, all of these are the effects of system skills and innate vision, and none of them are Gu Qiongsheng's true mental characteristics.

so……

What exactly are her own mental strength characteristics?
