"We're currently at this point, too far from the original route. The original route is no longer valid..."
"Currently, the nearest cave to us is here. Next, we'll follow this cave..."
"That should be about it. We should be able to clear out the rest of the caves. Does everyone have confidence?"
Shen Jue devised a route and sought everyone's opinions.
The others simply pointed out a few minor details.
The newly planned route was thus finalized.
"Cola, Zitong, are you two alright? Can you hold on? If not, we'll slow down."
Nan Zitong: "After resting for a while, I feel much better and I'm ready to leave anytime."
She has a stimulant; when she feels listless, she drinks one to relieve her fatigue.
Yang Kele: "I'm fine with it too."
With both wounded soldiers recovered, Shen Jue and the others were able to proceed along the planned route again.
They had made thorough preparations for heading to the nearby cave, and this time there would be no accidents.
We successfully reached the outer edge of the cave and also successfully defeated the monster boss inside.
After spreading out the materials, it was getting late.
Another night has arrived.
This time, the group was on high alert.
They discussed how to spend the night.
"If yesterday's situation happens again tonight, it will be extremely disadvantageous for us."
Shen Jue: "Zitong, the words you left in the cave indicate that some voice was faintly calling your names, right?"
Nan Zitong: "Yes. That night, Cola and I..."
Nan Zitong told them everything that had happened the night before.
Shen Jue: "So it's a mental interference. If that's the case, there is a way to resolve it."
Upon hearing that there was a solution, everyone became interested.
"What method?"
Shen Jue: "Can you manipulate mental power?"
"It's alright, I know a little bit."
Shen Jue: "That's good. In a moment, you will use your mental power to cover your ears."
"I'll briefly block your hearing, then use my mental energy to envelop your ears in physical silence—double protection. Without external sounds, you won't be bewitched. Finally, I'll open another protective barrier; we can't get out, and the enemy can't get in. Everyone can sleep together; no need for night watch."
After listening, the group thought it was a good idea. With such preparations and the help of the invincible defensive barrier, they would definitely be able to get through the night safely.
After completing these preparations, they entered a world of extreme silence.
It's just night, and they can't sleep, so they're chatting in the team chat.
Yang Kele: After such a series of punches, who can tell whether I'm really deaf or pretending to be?
Yang Kele: If we blindfold them again, the rest of us will be qualified little deaf and blind.
Nan Zitong: Go away, go away, go away! Can't you wish us well for once? You're injured like that, and you're still trying to act silly.
Nan Zitong: But are we really just going to sleep without doing anything?
Zhao Keke: Probably not. You can ask Sister Shen. She definitely has some backup plan.
Shen Jue: I have it, but I can't tell you now.
Yang Kele: We've been through thick and thin together, what is there that we can't know?
Shen Jue: It can't be said, or it won't work anymore. Alright, everyone should get some rest. Our results today weren't very good, and we'll have to fight hard tomorrow.
Upon hearing this, the entire chat interface fell silent. They each found a suitable spot, took out their sleeping bags, and prepared to sleep.
This time, the resting place was not the cave we chose last time; this time, the resting place was surrounded by vegetation.
They checked and found that the vegetation here consists of normal, common plants.
The existence of life forms like the Strange Flower will never appear again.
At first, it was so quiet that it was hard to fall asleep.
Especially Nan Zitong. Yang Kele, Lu Qingyuan, and the other two.
The three of them were martial artists, and asking them to give up their hearing and rely entirely on external objects like defensive barriers was something they weren't used to, even though they knew the barriers were very safe.
