Chapter 13 Holding Her Hand
Without thinking about why the two people suddenly changed their minds, Gao Xingfan hurried away now that the opportunity was right in front of him.
After running for a long time, he finally breathed a sigh of relief when he could no longer see the two people.
He opened his intelligent brain and took a look. Because he went to pick white grass flowers, he was further away from his team. It seemed that it would take him more time to go back.
Perhaps because of his previous experience of being caught by Lu Yanxu, Gao Xingfan was much more cautious this time. He no longer walked around, but chose to go directly to the team to meet up first.
The crimson sunset had already hung on the branches, and the towering woods had already darkened, with only the treetops reflecting orange light.
The further we walked, the darker the sky became.
The forest was so quiet that only the chirping of insects and birds could be heard, as well as the sound of footsteps on leaves.
Gao Xingfan just felt that he was really unlucky. He had been alert enough, but still fell into the trap.
When his footsteps stepped into a depression, his mental power became uncontrollably active and violent.
He looked around warily and took steps to step back, but no matter how he retreated, that unsettling restlessness followed him like a shadow.
Pei Zhiyi had expected Lu Yanxu to drive Gao Xingfan away. After all, he had said that he wanted to train her mental power, so it would be difficult to hide her mental power.
Therefore, only by driving him away can we maximize our benefits.
But now that Gao Xingfan was gone, neither of them was a talkative person, so they suddenly fell silent.
It was Lu Yanxu who took the initiative to break the ice: "Let's go and find a place to rest."
This place can only be used as a place to rest, not as a place to rest tonight.
It's too empty, and strange beasts and people may come from all directions.
In terms of survival ability in the wild, even ten Pei Zhiyi would probably not be as good as Lu Yanxu. She believed in his judgment and followed him honestly.
"Try again, attack me with your mental power." Lu Yanxu said to Pei Zhiyi as he walked.
Pei Zhiyi mobilized his mental power to wrap around Lu Yanxu as before, but this time Lu Yanxu's mental power showed great aggressiveness. For several consecutive times, Pei Zhiyi was unable to counterattack him as before.
A thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead and her breathing became slightly rapid.
Lu Yanxu whispered, "Okay, take it back."
Pei Zhiyi slowly withdrew his mental power, his obsidian eyes fixed on Lu Yanxu: "Why is it not working?"
I was able to do it easily just now, but now it is very difficult, or even impossible.
Lu Yanxu pulled up the vine to let Pei Zhiyi pass through. "I never thought of guarding against you mentally before."
Even though he was good at calculating, he never thought that an Omega could attack him with mental power. Caught off guard, he was directly suppressed by Pei Zhiyi.
But this time, he mobilized his mental strength to be on guard, so Pei Zhiyi's attack was not as effective as before.
"No one will be on guard against you. If an S-level Alpha is not on guard, he will be suppressed by you. But if he is on guard, your mental strength will not be able to break through my defense for the time being."
This is normal. After all, even if Pei Zhiyi's mental power has changed from C level to A level, it is still lower than his mental power.
Neither of them knew that Pei Zhiyi's mental power was slowly growing without their knowledge, but the growth of this mental power was so small, like a hair, that it was ignored.
After Pei Zhiyi passed through the vines, Lu Yanxu walked in front of her again.
It was completely dark, the dense leaves blocked the moonlight, the woods were dark and eerie, and the sound of running water coming from nowhere added a bit of mystery.
She tried hard to keep up with Lu Yanxu, but saw him stop and she almost bumped into his back.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Yanxu turned sideways and gently grasped her wrist with his fingers, "Don't get lost."
The force of the grip was not strong, and Pei Zhiyi could even shake it off with a light wave.
Although Lu Yan's words were a little cold, they really seemed to be full of concern. Pei Zhiyi was not an ungrateful person, so she didn't say a word and let him lead her away.
The darkness only trapped people's vision, or to be more precise, it only trapped Pei Zhiyi's vision.
She was not used to walking through the dark woods on such a day, so she was extremely careful.
"Try it, explore with your mental power." Even though he held Pei Zhiyi's wrist, Lu Yanxu did not forget to tell Pei Zhiyi what to do.
It just affects the eyesight, but this part can be made up by mental power.
Just like Lu Yanxu, who is walking in front now, he is not only using his eyes but also his mental power.
But his body is much stronger than Pei Zhiyi's, and even the current darkness has little effect on him.
Pei Zhiyi tried according to what Lu Yan said. Her mental power stretched outward like tentacles, and soon she could clearly sense the area within a range of nearly one meter with her as the center.
The corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously. Nothing could make people feel more at ease than knowing that they were in control of the power.
"I can see clearly now." Her eyes unconsciously fell on Lu Yanxu's big hand holding her. It seemed that he could let go now.
But Lu Yanxu seemed to be completely unaware of this. He pulled her all the way to a cave, released his mental power again, and after a while, he let go of Pei Zhiyi's hand: "Stay here and wait for me."
This purely natural cave has no signs of any animals living there, making it suitable for living.
It should be a cave abandoned by some animal. There is still some feces left in it, but it has dried up, proving that no living creature has lived here for a long time.
Pei Zhiyi sat on the stone at the entrance of the cave, and his mental power followed Lu Yanxu.
Lu Yanxu could naturally feel that she was like a young animal, somewhat dependent on him.
Now he is sitting obediently at the entrance of the cave, and looking at him makes people feel soft-hearted.
He withdrew his gaze, allowing her mental power to follow him, picked up some dry branches nearby, and quickly returned to the cave.
Pei Zhiyi stood up and reached out to take the branch from Lu Yanxu's hand. Lu Yanxu said in a deep voice, "No need."
Soon, flames ignited in the darkness, and the orange-yellow flames instantly illuminated the faces of the two people.
"Lu Yanxu." Pei Zhiyi's soft voice sounded, "Why haven't they come for so long?"
Pei Zhiyi thought that everyone would arrive today, but now he hasn't seen anyone yet.
Lu Yanxu took out the cans from the supply box and placed them next to the fire. After heating them up, he handed them to Pei Zhiyi: "If you are eliminated, the remaining people will automatically be considered to have successfully formed a team."
People like Gao Xingfan, who were ordered by him not to leave, would be eliminated by default if they did not return to the team within three days.
But neither Pei Zhiyi nor Lu Yanxu felt that the other people seemed like they could be eliminated.
Pei Zhiyi held the hot can and ate it in small bites while listening to him talk.
"They should all be here before tomorrow morning."
