Another night passed without incident. However, since there was only one tent, Su Yang felt it was inconvenient and thought he could spend the night outside with Xiao Ju. But Lin Anlan disagreed and insisted that all three of them spend the night in the tent. She even pulled Tang Wan along to persuade them. In the end, she couldn't resist the two of them and had no choice but to crawl into the small tent.

The next morning, when Lin Anlan woke up, Su Yang was nowhere to be seen. Stepping outside the tent, she saw Su Yang practicing not far away. Lin Anlan couldn't recognize his movements, so out of curiosity, she went over to ask him.

"What are you practicing so early in the morning?"

Hearing Lin Anlan's voice behind him, Su Yang stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Lin Anlan: "You're up, I was practicing martial arts."

"Martial arts? What's that?" Lin Anlan asked, puzzled.

Seeing her confusion, Su Yang scratched his head awkwardly and replied, "Martial arts is just a training method from my area. I'm not an expert in it; I just practice randomly."

Su Yang knew nothing about martial arts. Having lived in this world for so long, he suddenly realized that the fighting methods here were basically based on elemental power. Only generals and deputy generals on the battlefield would use some martial arts. He thought that maybe one day when elemental power was limited, knowing some martial arts might still be useful, so he started practicing based on the meager memories in his mind.

"Why don't you teach me too?" Lin Anlan suggested, as it was the first time she had ever heard of such a novel term as martial arts.

"Hehehe, I'm not very familiar with this either, so I'm afraid I can't teach you." Su Yang said somewhat awkwardly.

"It's okay, I'll practice the same way you do it. If I really can't learn it, you can teach me step by step," Lin Anlan said with a smile. Her little schemes were almost bursting out, but Su Yang didn't seem to notice and still awkwardly refused.

Just as the two were arguing, a noise came from the tent, and Tang Wan popped out, looking around sleepily. She soon spotted the two and called out, "Why are you up so early?"

Hearing Tang Wan's voice, Lin Anlan knew she had no chance, so she pulled Su Yang back, saying as they walked, "We got up to exercise. Are you awake?"

"Training?" Tang Wan was puzzled. In her opinion, Su Yang and Lin Anlan were already very strong, so was there any need for them to train?

"Get up and get ready to leave since you're awake," Lin Anlan urged, not giving her time to think.

Before long, the campsite was packed up, and the three of them each took some dry food. They ate as they walked, and under Lin Anlan's guidance, they headed deeper into the forest.

After leaving the campsite from the previous night, not only was the surrounding terrain no longer flat, but the forest also became increasingly gloomy. Moreover, the cries of unknown ferocious beasts could be heard from time to time. This environment made Tang Wan unconsciously a little scared. She clung tightly to Su Yang, and later she even felt like every bush and tree was a threat. She would jump in fright whenever there was any movement in the bushes, which made Su Yang a little tense.

As they were traversing through the forest, Tang Wan suddenly seemed to trip over something, letting out a cry of "Ah!" and falling to the ground. Lin Anlan and Su Yang quickly stopped and ran over to check on her. Tang Wan was rubbing her knee, crying out in pain, "Ouch, that hurts! What tripped me?"

Su Yang stepped forward and squatted down to examine it. He found something that looked like a sword hilt, so he reached out to pull it out. After some effort, he finally managed to pull it out. It turned out to be an iron sword that was so rusted that it was no longer usable. Su Yang was holding only half of it, while the other half was probably broken off and lying on the ground.

"An iron sword?" Su Yang asked Lin Anlan with some doubt, "There's an iron sword here? Did you see it when you came here before?"

Lin Anlan shook her head: "I've never seen it before, maybe we take different paths."

"How could there be an iron sword here?" Tang Wan also stood up from the ground. "Isn't this a remote place? Could it be that someone else came in to explore like us and then met with misfortune here?"

"That's possible." Su Yang checked her over, then discarded the sword and asked Tang Wan, "How are you? Are you alright? Can you walk?"

Tang Wan patted the dirt off her clothes: "It's okay, I'm not seriously hurt. I just tripped and fell. Let's keep going."

The three continued onward, but the further they went, the more iron weapons they encountered along the way. Some were stuck in the ground like the iron sword that tripped Tang Wan, some were stuck in tree trunks, and others were entangled in vines. The three became increasingly alarmed as they walked. The number of these iron weapons was clearly unusual. It didn't seem like an adventure team was exploring; rather, it seemed like a major battle had taken place here.

After walking for a while, Lin Anlan, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped. The two people behind her looked over and were stunned by what they saw.

Suddenly, a sunken terrain appeared in front of the three of them, resembling a large pit. The pit was circular, with a diameter of two or three hundred meters. Although the pit was not very deep, it was filled with various weapons, and many elemental bracelets that had long since lost their effectiveness were scattered on the ground, indicating that a great battle had taken place here.

The sky above the pit was already obscured by the towering tree canopy. Su Yang looked up and saw a red cloth hanging on a vine. He flew into the air, took down the red cloth, and studied it with Lin Anlan and Tang Wan.

The red cloth seemed to have some kind of pattern embroidered on it, which looked like either a military flag or a national flag. So Su Yang guessed that it was a national flag first: "Do you know which country's flag this is?"

The two men took the red cloth and examined it carefully, but neither could recognize it. So they both shook their heads. Helpless, Su Yang had no choice but to throw the red cloth aside, and the three of them continued to explore the bottom of the pit.

At the bottom of the pit, the strong smell of blood seemed to have persisted for thousands of years, and the soil was still dark red, which surprised the three of them.

"The soil here is all dark red. Can't the rain wash away the blood from before?" Tang Wan said, covering her nose.

“How could that be? I don’t think it’s blood. It’s possible that the soil here is naturally this color,” Lin Anlan said, holding a different opinion.

Su Yang recalled that it was possible that the soil contained a lot of iron, and this place might have once been a large iron mine. However, after a long period of exposure, the iron in the soil was oxidized, which is why it turned out this color. But what he couldn't understand was why there was such a strong smell of blood.

The three, each puzzled, continued their exploration. Judging from its scale, this place should be a war site, but they didn't know which country it belonged to or with whom the battle took place, though the battle must have been extremely fierce.

As the three were looking around, a slight tremor appeared on the ground. Su Yang was the first to notice this. The three quickly regrouped and cautiously surveyed their surroundings. Su Yang also hurriedly checked the detection radar, hoping to locate the unknown ferocious beast in advance. In this place, at this time, only a ferocious beast could appear and pose a threat.

But what he saw startled Su Yang. The radar showed that the purple dot representing the creature was right in the center, overlapping with Su Yang's position. Su Yang's first thought was the sky, so he looked up, but there was nothing there except the swaying tree canopy.

He immediately realized what was happening, shoved the two people next to him aside, and shouted anxiously, "Get out of there!"
