Qiu Hou was unconscious, and the others could not abandon him and move on. With Su Ran's help, his bloody body was slowly healing and the melted skin was growing back. This process looked a bit disgusting and lasted for more than an hour. Qiu Hou finally returned to human form.

However, even though his external injuries have healed, he still shows no signs of waking up from his coma. According to Su Ran, the coma was probably caused by an overdraft of extraordinary energy and severe injuries. His fundamental source was not damaged, and he would be fine after resting for a while.

This is good news. After all, they are just here to gain experience, not to fight to the death. If Qiu Hou is really injured in his origin, he will not be able to participate in the league.

When the sky was completely bright, Qiu Hou's eyelids trembled and opened slightly.

"Are you awake?"

Ji Muge leaned forward and looked at Qiu Hou's shrewd fox eyes, which showed rare confusion and fear that seemed to have not yet recovered. She quietly opened the bracelet and took a photo.

In fact, she also took a photo of Qiu Hou lying on the ground seriously injured. Of course, this must not be known to others, because she still cannot beat Qiu Hou who has recovered.

"Do you remember how you were caught?"

When Qiu Hou seemed to realize that he was safe now, Shu Yushan asked directly.

".Without any warning, I suddenly felt like I was being restrained by something. The other party might have the ability to suppress me. I could mobilize the extraordinary energy in my body, but I couldn't use any extraordinary abilities."

"Besides all that, I felt it had some powerful ability to interfere with my thoughts and corrode my body. I kept trying to resist it with my supernatural energy, but it was depleting at an accelerating rate. I could barely see anything. I could only sense that I had been transported to some cold, damp place. Not long after, I lost consciousness."

During the whole process, Qiu Hou was not able to resist much. Xu Zhi thought about it and realized that they did not feel any "suppression" when fighting against the branches. It seemed that the sleeping guy would only unconsciously suppress the chosen prey, and Qiu Hou was the unlucky guy who was chosen.

Sure enough, Shu Yushan was also a little puzzled: "We didn't discover that the other party had these abilities during the process of rescuing you."

Qiu Hou's face darkened: "So, it's targeting me?"

"It should only target the selected prey."

"But since it has such powerful abilities, why not use them while we're rescuing you?"

Of course, it’s because the entity of the ability is asleep and has no idea about it at all.

This ability is quite useful though.

"Don't worry about it so much. Now that you've escaped, think about what to do next."

"We definitely can't go in that direction anymore. Let's wait for Qiu Hou to rest for a while, and then continue in another direction."

Qiu Hou's injury was not light, and a short rest certainly could not restore his strength, but they did not have much time to waste. Moreover, there were probably many moments of injuries in battle in the league, so they should just get used to continuing to fight in this state in advance.

Qiu Hou was not allowed to rest for too long. After waiting for only about two hours, the team decided to continue their journey.

Xu Zhi also knew from the fact that they were not stopped by the teachers who were watching in the dark and continued on their journey deeper into the forest that the teachers who followed them had no idea that there was a [Cup] hidden deep underground in the forest.

Otherwise, Qiu Hou, who was suspected of being caught by the [Cup] and having his blood and flesh sucked, would definitely be taken out, and the teacher would not allow them to continue exploring outside the [Cup]. After all, the league was about to begin.

The little alien shook the branches a little restlessly. Ever since Qiu Hou was dug out of the pit in a bloody mess, this little thing, which had no self-awareness yet, had been a little envious. Fortunately, with Xu Zhi's control, it did not lose its mind and crawl out of the flowerpot, otherwise its fate might be similar to those severed tentacles.

Choosing a completely different direction, the seven people continued to go deeper. With the precedent of Qiu Hou being captured before, everyone became more vigilant, but at the same time, the energy consumed was also increasing.

After changing direction, the most obvious thing was that the dangers they encountered on the road increased. They would often encounter new extraordinary creatures that would attack them after not walking for long. The battle almost never stopped, and everyone was working around the clock. Even Qiu Hou, whose injuries had not yet healed, had to drag his injuries to participate in the battle.

Over the past few days, the intensive battles and the reminders and help from teammates have made this team, which was formed less than half a month ago, become closer and more tacit.

Now, many times they don’t even need to communicate verbally. A look or a gesture can make their teammates understand what they want to do. The temptation from the Lost Land has made them learn to trust their teammates more and pay attention to their teammates’ conditions.

These are habits and tacit understandings that can never be formed outside without a lot of time training together.

The most important thing is that Xu Zhi's [Eye of Insight] has played a very important role in the past few days. She can always know the level of danger they are facing at the first time, and can also clearly know the current status of her teammates and assign the most reasonable combat methods. She has never made a wrong judgment.

This also invisibly made the remaining people in the team almost unconditionally execute her orders when facing battle, without doubting whether her instructions were wrong and that their own ideas were more correct.

"Almost, we need to leave some time for the return journey."

After defeating another extraordinary creature that was higher in level than them, Xu Zhi suggested.

For the current team, challenging opponents of higher levels has become commonplace. The highest-level member of their team is Chu Xiaoyue, who is at the second stage of immortality. This is even more powerful than many seniors who graduated from the inner courtyard a long time ago. It was not without reason that she was called the most talented student in the inner courtyard in recent years before Xu Zhi appeared.

However, now that Xu Zhi has appeared in the inner courtyard, Chu Xiaoyue's title of "No. 1 Genius" seems to be about to be transferred. But all this depends on whether Xu Zhi can successfully advance to the second level of immortality before the fifth grade.

You should know that after advancing to immortality, it is normal to be stuck at a stage for four or five years.

However, "cross-level battles" between extraordinary people are very difficult, especially after crossing the threshold of immortality. Every promotion to a higher level will greatly increase one's own strength.

After all, the further one goes in the big dream, the deeper his understanding of the "supernormal" will be, the more "knowledge" and "secrets" he will know, and naturally his resistance to the "supernormal" will be higher.

Simply put, when high-level attacks low-level, penetration and critical hits are added; when low-level attacks high-level, weakening and damage reduction are added. There is no way to have a fair fight at all.

What they defeated this time was a third-level immortal super creature. This was not the most powerful super creature they had challenged. Among the spoils, there was also a guy who had just entered the fourth level of immortality. It was also in that battle that Chu Xiaoyue, who had always been at ease, suffered serious injuries.

However, this is limited to the fourth level of immortality. Whenever they encounter someone with strength above this level, they can only turn around and run away. The fourth level of immortality is the limit of being able to fight against a group of people of higher levels. As for the big stage like [Named One],

If the other party is hostile after the encounter, it is impossible for all members of the team to leave alive.

Fortunately, the [Named Person] hasn't appeared in the periphery for decades.
