"Old Yan!"
Jiang Qinian, who was trapped like a rice dumpling, slightly opened her eyes. Seeing that the person who came was Yan Ziyan, she fainted again with relief.
Upon seeing this, Yan Ziyan quickly stepped forward to untie the vines binding him and carefully examined his physical condition.
After examining her, Yan Ziyan discovered that Jiang Qinian had only fainted due to extreme hunger. He breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, the situation wasn't serious.
So Yan Ziyan quickly took out a fasting pill from his storage ring and fed it to Jiang Qinian. Watching Jiang Qinian slowly swallow the pill, Yan Ziyan finally felt relieved.
He thought to himself that if that dragon hadn't been so busy devouring strange fire and advancing its cultivation level that it neglected its own food reserves, Jiang Qinian would have been in danger.
Thinking of this, Yan Ziyan couldn't help but feel a chill of fear.
However, he was also curious as to why he was in this forest. Logically, Jiang Qinian should be in Y Province. Had something unexpected or unforeseen happened?
Yan Ziyan decided to ask Jiang Qinian about his condition after he woke up.
Yan Ziyan thought for a moment, then took out some spiritual food and started cooking it. Instantly, the entire cave was filled with a fragrant aroma. This spiritual food contained abundant spiritual energy, which could help people restore their physical strength and cultivation.
After setting up a protective barrier at the cave entrance, he sat down comfortably to protect the two of them.
Soon, Jiang Qinian and Jiang Wanwan woke up one after the other, looking at each other with completely bewildered expressions.
"Jiang Qinian, what are you doing here?" Jiang Wanwan spoke first.
Jiang Qinian scratched her buzz cut awkwardly, her eyes darting around, and explained, "Someone said there might be blue mist in this dense forest, so I came to check it out!"
Of course, he would never tell anyone that he had fallen asleep while flying on his sword and ended up falling into the giant python's lair. He couldn't fight it off, so he was tied up by the giant python and used as food.
Jiang Wanwan took the spirit beast meat soup prepared by Yan Ziyan, took a sip, and then asked, "Oh! So how did you find us?"
Yan Ziyan couldn't help but cough a few times, his smile widening as he kindly explained, "He was captured by that dragon and brought to this cave as a food reserve!"
Jiang Wanwan suddenly spat out the mouthful of water she had just drunk, then looked at Jiang Qinian with curiosity, wanting to hear what had happened to him.
Jiang Qinian blushed and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I just accidentally wandered into that dragon's territory and got caught by it."
"Luckily we killed that dragon just now, otherwise you might be inside its belly right now!" Jiang Wanwan said, wiping her mouth as she took the handkerchief Yan Ziyan handed her.
Jiang Qinian became unusually attentive, serving soup and water to the two of them in an attempt to repay their life-saving grace.
"Did you find the exact location of the blue mist after you entered here?" Jiang Wanwan took the bowl and chopsticks and continued to ask while eating.
“There were wisps of blue mist not far in front of a swamp, and it was while I was tracking those mists that the dragon discovered me,” Jiang Qinian hurriedly replied.
"After we've rested, let's go take a look. Maybe we'll find some news about the Origin of Wood."
As Yan Ziyan cut the spirit beast meat in the pot into small pieces, he offered his suggestions.
Jiang Wanwan and the other person nodded, and then began to eat.
On the other side of the Gasri rainforest, a series of thrilling life-or-death chases are unfolding.
Zhan Beiwang, a battle-hardened special forces soldier, should have easily overcome the various challenges of this primeval forest with his rich experience in wilderness survival and his keen perception honed through training.
However, this time he encountered an unprecedented predicament, all because of his incompetent teammates.
Huang Sicong, who was in the group, had just entered the initial stage of cultivation. Since entering the forest, he had been like an innocent and silly roe deer, full of curiosity about everything around him.
Not only that, he was always touching and patting this and that.
It was because of his actions that they were first chased by a pack of swift wolves, then narrowly escaped from the jaws of crocodiles, and now they were forced into a swamp by a swarm of mutated bees.
At this moment, they were all stuck in the mud, their spiritual power was limited, and they were unable to use it.
He could only watch helplessly as his body sank deeper and deeper into the mud, swallowed up by the mud.
Despair and helplessness were evident on everyone's face, as if they were awaiting their fate's verdict.
"It's all my fault!"
Huang Sicong spoke cautiously, afraid that if he spoke too loudly, he would sink deeper into the body.
His heart was racing, sweat was beading on his forehead, and his fists were clenched, but he still felt himself sinking.
Mo Yan comforted him, "Don't worry, we still have the teleportation talisman given by the sect leader. We can't give up until the very last moment. Now we need to calm down and think about whether there are any other ways to get out of this predicament."
Jiang Beixing pondered for a while and finally came up with a solution.
He tried to stay calm and relax, following methods he had learned online.
He took a deep breath, discarded the heavy items on his body, and tried to maximize his contact area with the swamp to distribute his weight. Then, he raised his arms and slowly lay back, hoping to float.
To his surprise, the method actually worked, and he successfully floated up.
"I've got an idea!" Jiang Beixing shouted excitedly.
The others saw Jiang Beixing lying flat on the swamp, their eyes shining with hope.
They all looked at Jiang Beixing with pleading eyes, "Save me, please save me!"
At this point, only their heads were sticking out, and the situation was extremely critical.
After some effort, the group managed to float to the surface, but getting ashore proved to be a challenge.
"Ugh! What kind of place is this? I can't use any spiritual energy at all!"
Jiang Nanxing attempted to mobilize his spiritual power, but unfortunately, the spiritual power within his body was like a stone sinking into the sea, with no reaction whatsoever.
Zhan Bei looked around, trying to find something to climb, but all he found was mud and reeds. Suddenly, an idea struck him.
“We can use the buoyancy of the reeds!” Zhan Beiwang said, pointing to the reeds in the swamp. “Everyone, grab onto the reeds and use their strength to slowly move towards the shore.”
So everyone reached out and grabbed the reeds around them, struggling to move towards the shore. Although progress was slow, at least there was a glimmer of hope.
So, when Jiang Wanwan and the others arrived at the shore of the swamp, they saw Zhan Beiwang and the others moving towards the shore little by little, like wriggling maggots.
"Old Zhan, what's wrong with you guys?"
After saying this, Jiang Qinian did not wait for the other party's response, but prepared to fly to the other party's aid on her sword.
"etc!"
However, at that moment, Zhan Beiwang and the others suddenly shouted in unison, their voices filled with urgency and worry.
