Chapter 40 Word Spirit
◎Earthquake? ◎
After a continuous high temperature of 50 degrees, there was a turning point. Raindrops fell, as dense as spring rain, but the raindrops were as big as soybeans.
The rain started to get heavier, but it never reached the intensity of the night on the seventh day of military training.
[Hmm? Did you use your spiritual power?]
Rainy weather is the best time for sleeping. Hunyuan Ling slept comfortably. He blinked his sleepy eyes and felt the fluctuation of spiritual power in Shi Hanqiao's body.
Her body tempering hadn't been fully completed, and most of her spiritual energy was dormant in her spiritual palace. Although she had cultivated back the consumed part, he still noticed a difference.
【Um. 】
【Wait, why didn’t you tell me earlier?! 】
Hunyuan Ling instantly woke up. As an ancient artifact, it could sense things that cultivators could not.
【Aren’t you sleeping? 】
【Then you can also wake me up! 】
Shi Hanqiao teased: "Last time I called you, you jumped up and pointed at my nose and cursed for a long time. How could I dare to call you?"
[I——] Hunyuan Ling felt wronged. It had a body at that time, so it should be floating in the air facing her. As for scolding, God is my witness, at most he was complaining and grumbling.
[Forget it, forget it. I won't bother with you about this. We're already in this world, so I'll shamelessly go talk to Tiandao.]
[Until I come back, you are not allowed to use any spiritual power! ]
Even if her body was not tempered completely, with her strength she would not need to use spiritual power. However, Hunyuan Ling did not even ask her what she had done. After she finished speaking, her soul separated and floated away.
Of course, he also knew that Shi Hanqiao might not listen to him.
It would be fine if she didn't stop, but she still had to warn him.
Shi Hanqiao clicked his tongue and muttered softly, "Going so fast."
"My leg injury is almost healed, so I can walk faster. Could it be that you want me to recover more slowly?"
Luo Wusheng came in from outside carrying food. He had been cooking these past few days, and the food tasted really average, but Alpha still finished it out of courtesy.
"Not really." Shi Hanqiao immediately denied it and continued the conversation, shifting the focus: "Your wound is almost healed, why is it still bleeding?"
"This is the characteristic of the Devil's Water Weed. The wound will heal, but it will also bleed. If you dive into the same sea area again before it has healed, the Devil's Water Weed will seek you out based on the smell of blood."
Eight or nine out of ten people who are entangled by it will end up dead at the bottom of the sea.
He turned off the camera function of the camera ball, but it was still safely placed in his space button. It was the last resort to save his life when in danger.
However, we are still in military training, so if we use it, it will be considered a waiver.
"Like a marker?"
Shi Hanqiao frowned and became displeased when he saw the scar on the young man's leg.
"Calculate."
Luo Wusheng was changing the bandages. The sound of rain outside was getting louder, making his voice seem faint.
The distance between the two people unconsciously shortened during their conversation, and before they knew it, they had become accustomed to close communication.
The rain did not get heavier and gradually stopped, but the ground was not dry yet and the wind started to blow outside, preventing people from going out.
"The wind is picking up."
Luo Wusheng looked at the shaking tent. The tents provided by the Ninth Army were very durable and firmly rooted like big trees. They were difficult to destroy even in wind and rain.
But it will still be affected, like a whirring canopy.
"Heavy rain, extreme heat, hurricanes, frost and snow—"
Shi Hanqiao didn't continue. The temperature turned cooler with the rain, and she no longer needed to expend her spiritual energy to maintain the temperature in the tent.
A cool day is perfect for sleeping.
They couldn't go out, so they could only recuperate in the tent.
Compared to the hottest period, Shi Hanqiao prefers hurricanes. She would open the tent and see the hurricane forming pillars on the sea, rolling the sea water up into the clouds, like pillars supporting the sky between heaven and earth.
This can be considered a major advantage of hurricanes compared to extreme heat, but the disadvantage is that the wind is too strong, often blowing people's hair into a mess in the wind.
After the hurricane comes frost and snow. The air becomes suddenly cold, and the human body feels more tired and exhausted.
Snowflakes have a hypnotic effect. In the past few days, although the eight people from the four schools were only a hundred meters apart, all communication relied on the internal channel.
"Are you still cold?"
Shi Hanqiao looked up and down at the young man who was wrapping herself in three layers of blankets. Her blanket was completely covering his blanket.
"fine."
Luo Wusheng's lips trembled, and he only glanced at the white snow-covered outside the curtain and the thinly dressed Alpha before looking away.
Pretty tough.
Shi Hanqiao laughed. The extreme cold was coming, and outside the tent was a white world.
The sea not far away was covered with ice and snow. The ice layer gradually became thicker until the fish swimming underwater could no longer be seen. Heavy snow fell on the ice, the ground, and the tents.
From afar, the trees and grass are covered in silver, and the sky and the earth are of the same color.
Shi Hanqiao didn't admire it for long before he closed the curtain. Luo Wusheng felt a little better. He licked his dry lips and asked, "You don't want to watch anymore?"
He didn't say, "You can go out and enjoy it."
Shi Hanqiao was an independent person. If she wanted to enjoy the snow scenery alone, she didn't need to stay here until now. Since she had already drawn the curtains and was willing to stay in the tent with him, why would he say something unkind to push her away?
Luo Wusheng asked the question just to hear her definite answer.
"You're so cold! If I keep looking at you, I'm afraid you'll have a fever at night."
She was referring to the second night after being entangled by the devil's water plants during the extreme heat. He felt unwell due to the huge temperature difference and had a fever. His face was burning red when he slept at night. She also transferred spiritual power to him.
Shi Hanqiao didn't have any other intentions, he just didn't want to waste any more spiritual energy.
However, these few times of transferring spiritual power to him made her discover one thing, that is, he accepted her spiritual power well and would even give her some of his spiritual energy in return for her cultivation.
Shi Hanqiao once regretted that Luo Wusheng was not a cultivator, otherwise the two of them would be very suitable for dual cultivation.
This dual cultivation is not the same as that dual cultivation. There are many methods of dual cultivation, and furnace and cauldron gathering and replenishing is only the most insidious method among them.
She was referring to a dual cultivation that was beneficial to both parties and did not contain any ambiguous feelings.
When talking about the night when he had a fever, Luo Wusheng's face turned slightly red.
He was sleeping in a daze, his consciousness caught between wakefulness and confusion, feeling very uncomfortable. In his half-awake state, he felt a soothing mental force coming, which quickly relieved his discomfort.
Shi Hanqiao yawned sleepily. She was lazy to begin with, and the cold weather only magnified her laziness.
"Take the quilt back."
They collected all the daily necessities except for the quilts.
"Aren't you afraid of the cold anymore?" Shi Hanqiao lay on his back on the overlapping pillows, waving his hands in the air, indicating that he should give up.
Luo Wusheng wrapped himself in a thick blanket and actually didn't feel so cold anymore.
After a while, the sound of even breathing could be heard. He took off the outermost quilt and put it on her. After doing all this, he quickly put his hand back into the quilt.
Blizzard weather is really cold.
The cold lasted until seven o'clock in the morning of the seventh day.
The starting point of the third task is 7 o'clock in the evening, which means that it will officially end in twelve hours.
"This horrible weather is finally over!"
"It was so hot a few days ago, and it's so cold these days. It's really annoying!"
Yu Rongshui and Mo Wushuang rarely participated in spitting and complaining, but this time they couldn't help it.
Bai Muxue touched his chin and said, "I always have a bad feeling."
"The sun is out, but the ice hasn't melted yet."
Ling Shuang pointed to the ice on the sea not far away. The bright sunlight shone on the crystal clear ice surface. As if to confirm her words, a small crack appeared on the ice surface.
The cracks extended from the center, spreading and interweaving like a spider web to the endless distance. Then, fine crackling sounds continued to be heard, and the boundless ice surface shattered with the repeated plops.
Ice floes dotted with white foam float on the sea, and the blue water reflects colorful light under the sunlight.
"When did you activate the Word Spirit attribute?"
Bai Muxue joked.
"What kind of spiritual words are these?"
Ling Shuang waved her hand nonchalantly, but when her lover looked over, she still winked at him, her eyes full of arrogance saying 'praise me quickly'.
"You." Mei Yao pushed her lightly with helplessness, her eyes full of tenderness.
"What's so good about her?"
There was no emotion in his calm tone, but Luo Wusheng couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth and replied, "It's nothing to see."
"This weather doesn't seem normal, it's more like a transition." When the extreme heat turned into a hurricane, there was a cold rain, and when the hurricane turned into freezing, snow fell all over the sky.
Now that the ice and snow have melted, the deadline for the third mission has not yet arrived. The seemingly normal weather is more like the night before dawn, the calm before the storm, and an illusion to cover up a bigger trap.
Luo Wusheng said: "Stay alert!"
Although there didn't seem to be any danger, as soon as the commander gave the order, their bodies instantly tensed up and they became alert.
"Until 7pm, remain alert and do not let your guard down!"
"Sister Qiao, what do you think will happen after the transition?" Bai Muxue's body was on alert, but with a smile on her face, she teased Shi Hanqiao in an unconventional way.
The latter glanced at her lightly without saying anything.
Bai Muxue curled her lips and said helplessly: "Okay, I'm not your commander, I have no right to ask you."
[Meow?! What did I hear?! !]
[Ahhhh! Do you know how I spent this week?!]
[I've been looking forward to it for so long, and it's finally over! 】
[Hey, there's so much ice on the sea! Could this be the legendary extreme cold? What did I miss?!]
Anyone who thinks this is a camping show or says the livestream is boring, get out and don't watch!
We really didn't find the extreme environment boring at all. I could watch them cook, eat, and chat all day long!
The four photography balls corresponded to teams from four schools. The Sphinx, which had consistently held the fourth place spot in both league matches and livestream popularity rankings, had risen to first place. The Dragon City Couple and the Imperial Brothers and Sisters kept bouncing between second and third place. The Royal Military Academy, which had always held first place, fell to fourth place.
"What do you think it might be?"
Luo Wusheng asked again, and Shi Hanqiao answered without hesitation: "Earthquake or tsunami."
As soon as she finished speaking, the ground began to sway from side to side like a pirate ship.
Everyone looked at Shi Hanqiao, and Bai Muxue cried out miserably, "You are the Word Spirit!"
