My cubs are all vinegar

Ryan's crow's mouth is always late but never absent. After Nijiu returned to the tent, there was a heavy rain in the spirit beast forest.

It rained all night.

In the early hours of the morning, the sound of the rain did not decrease at all, but became more majestic.

There was a tarp on top of the tent, but the rain still seeped in through the zipper gaps and soaked the sleeping bag.

Ryan was still staying up late playing games at this time, he felt a chill on his neck, and only then realized that his sleeping bag was soaked.Ryan opened the sleeping bag and pushed Nidove and Winters who were still asleep.

"Nijiu! Winters!! Wake up!"

Ryan's loud voice woke up not only Neito and Winters, but also the other students.Everyone woke up from their sleep and found that the water level of the creek had risen by about half a meter, and it was about to submerge the camp.

The earth attribute students hastily built a solid embankment three meters high to keep the stream water out of the camp.

The crisis was temporarily resolved, but Nijiu's drowsiness completely dissipated after such a disturbance.He listened to the torrential rain outside and didn't sleep all night.

The next morning, the rain stopped.

Nijiu looked at the sunshine outside with relief, and opened the sleeping bag: "It's finally time for Jitai to come..."

However, the aftermath of the crow's mouth is not over yet.When the students were making breakfast, they found that the standing water had short-circuited the camp's power generation unit and burned it down.

They had to pack their bags and go to another camp eight to nine kilometers away.

nine in the morning.

We packed our luggage and tents into our backpacks and headed north to the second camp.

There is a vast forest between the two camps.To get there as soon as possible, they had to keep a straight line through the forest.

More than 40 students talked and laughed all the way, Nijiu walked beside Ryan, and the little tiger lay on his shoulders.

Ryan looked at the increasingly sparse sunlight above his head, and said, "Brother, I always feel that this place is a bit weird—it's very eerie."

Nijiu actually noticed something strange too.

The trees in this forest are extremely dense, covering the sky and blocking the sun, making the forest plunge into darkness, and people can't even see the road under their feet.

Nijiu walked quickly to Qingyan, and asked in a low voice, "Teacher, is this road safe?"

Qingyan replied: "According to the map instructions, this route is the preferred and recommended safe route."

The electronic map screen kept flickering, and there seemed to be some bad connections.

Qingyan: "It was soaked in water last night, so it may be malfunctioning."

After speaking, he patted the screen hard.A few drops of water splashed out from the charging port, and then the display flickered again and returned to normal.

Nijiu and Qingyan took a closer look and found that the instructions just now were wrong due to the display failure.

When they were about to find the correct route and correct the direction of travel, the electronic map used up the last bar of battery and automatically shut down.

Nijiu and Qingyan: "..."

Ruined.

They can only determine the general direction of the second camp. If they decide to detour temporarily, they may get lost in this dark forest.Therefore, Qingyan decided to keep the original route and move straight ahead.

In order not to cause panic, the two did not tell other students about the incident.

The other 40 people were still laughing and laughing, while Nijiu turned on the high beams with trepidation and scanned the surrounding darkness.

They walked deep into the forest.

The woods are dark, almost penetrating, and you have to rely on high beams to see the way ahead.

When Nijiu passed under a banyan tree, he felt something touch the back of his neck.The thing was so light, it seemed to be a hair, and it fell lightly on his neck.

Nijiu thought that Ryan was scaring herself, and waved that hair impatiently.

"Ryan, don't make trouble, I still have high beams on."

"Ah? Why do you doubt me again?" Ryan clapped his palm on Youjiu's back, "I didn't touch you, brother you!"

Nijiu asked: "Didn't you touch my neck with your hair just now?"

Ryan shook his head frantically: "It's really not me! How can my hair be so long?"

As soon as Ryan finished speaking, Nijiu heard a soft sound of a hard object colliding.He raised his head and found a huge shadow above his head.

The shadow had many slender legs. He lay prone on the road, and when he moved to the claws, the carapace collided with the stones, making a dull sound.

That thing looked like an arthropod magnified dozens of times.

Ryan raised his flashlight and cast its light on it.

The black shadow belonged to a huge spider, it had sharp claws and fangs, and the small thorns on the carapace were also long and sharp.

What just landed on the back of Nijiu's neck was the stinging hair that fell from its abdomen.

Nejito felt his legs were frozen.

This is, the spider raised its huge legs and stepped on the crowd with force.

The other students also saw the spider and scattered.

"Ahhh help!"

"Go, there are spiders here!!"

"Is this a mutated spirit beast?! It looks as tall as a house..."

Nijiu was still standing there motionless, the little tiger jumped up from the ground, threw himself hard at Nijiu, and knocked him away.

Nijiu was bumped by the little tiger, and finally recovered.

Seeing everyone running away in all directions, Nijiu's heart tightened.

He yelled, "Don't run, there might be other spiders nearby—!"

However, Nijiu's call was too late.In panic, the other students couldn't hear Nijito's voice, only Winters turned a corner and ran back to them.

Only Mijiu, Qingyan, Ryan, and Winters remained in place.

Qingyan raised his hand, several vines rose from the ground.The vines bound the spider, binding it firmly to the ground.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet.

But not long after, Nijiu heard rustling again.This time the sound was denser than before, like dozens of spiders moving in the dark.

Ryan raised his high beams, illuminating his surroundings.

They saw dozens of spiders.

They surrounded the four, and the eight eyes reflected the seeping light in the darkness.

Nijiu heard the rustling sound behind her and turned her head abruptly.I saw a big spider crawling a few meters behind Nijiu, staring at me.

Nijito was numb all over, he pulled out the laser gun provided by the school, aimed at the spider and pulled the trigger.

"drop--"

However, Neito's laser gun ran out of energy, and a warning sounded that the energy was exhausted.

Ryan pressed Nijiu's arm: "Brother Ni, take a few steps back and don't disturb it."

Ryan said, turning off the high beams silently.He looked at the surrounding woods and swallowed lightly: "We are surrounded by spiders."

The opponents were dozens of spiders that were at least as tall as humans, but on their side, there were only four humans and three spirit beasts.

Moreover, the three spirit beasts are all in the form of cubs, and Nijiu is not sure whether they can participate in the battle.

Qingyan stared quietly at the spider in front of him, he seemed to be thinking about something, with a hesitant look on his face.

At this time, a spider suddenly rushed towards Winters.

Before everyone could react, the spider had already opened its claws and clamped Winters' shoulder fiercely.The sharp chelicer pierced the flesh, and blood spattered out.

Winters cursed and yelled at the others, "Stand back! The spiders are attacking!"

As soon as Winters finished speaking, a spider hung from the thread and fell from the sky, attacking Nijiu.

Nijito uprooted a banyan tree with spiritual power and threw it at the spider.The spider blocked the banyan tree, and one of its legs was broken, and it smashed the surrounding trees desperately in pain and mania.

Just as it was struggling to attack Nijiu again, a low growl came from behind Nijiu.

Black Tiger jumped out of the bushes.

He has regained his adult figure, standing majestically on the ground, his shoulders are almost as high as Nizuto.Heihu looked at the spider group in front of him, his gray-blue eyes reflected a faint light.

There was thunder in the clouds.

In the sky, hurricanes gather cumulonimbus clouds and blow them towards the ground.

The group heard the howling wind and the crisp sound of branches being snapped off.The gust of wind swept across the ground, picking up grass and ferns and sweeping away everything it passed.

Heihu threw Nijito down and blocked the hurricane with his broad back.

Qingyan grabbed hold of the vine, while Ryan pulled the injured Winters and hugged the trunk of a banyan tree.

The spiders had never seen this posture before, they were at a loss, their huge bodies were swept up by the strong wind, blown into the air, and disappeared.

After the spider swarm was blown away, the gust of wind gradually subsided.

Nijiu sat up from the ground, he didn't care to shake off the dust and dead leaves on his body, and walked quickly towards Ryan.

"How's Winters?"

Ryan supported Winters, who was in pain, and shook his head: "I don't know either, let's see."

Ryan let Winters lie on the ground, and Nijiu pulled out a pair of scissors and cut the clothes on Winters' shoulders.

Winters' clothes were soaked with blood.

After Nijito cut off the sleeve, he saw a large piece of bloody tear, and the bones could almost be seen.Winters' breath was already weak, and his body temperature was gradually dropping.

Nijito knelt beside Winters and pulled off her sleeves.

He said, "I'm going to heal his wound. Ryan, you help me press the artery in his shoulder."

Ryan did as he said, and asked, "Your brother, he seems to be seriously injured, is he really alright?"

Nejito has never used spiritual power to heal such a serious wound, but if he just sits idly by, Winters is likely to lose his life due to excessive blood loss.

Nijiu's face turned pale: "I'm not sure, I can only do this."

Nijiu put his hand on Winters' shoulder, and a faint golden light overflowed from his palm, covering Winters' wound.

Ryan heard the sound of blood rushing back.

He looked down and was pleasantly surprised to find that Winters' wound was gradually healing: "It works!"

Winters was delirious at this time, he felt a heat on his shoulder, and the sharp pain in the wound gradually disappeared.

Half a minute later, Winters' wound had completely healed, leaving only a small blood scab.

Nijiu was exhausted, his body swayed, and he almost fell to the ground.Heihu pushed Nijiu with his head in time to support his body.

Nijiu pushed Winters and asked, "Winters, can you hear me now?"

Winters' consciousness also recovered. He heard someone calling his name, barely opened his eyes, and saw Nijiu sitting next to him.

Seeing him open his eyes, Nijiu breathed a sigh of relief, "You're finally awake."

Winters wanted to thank you, but just as he opened his mouth, Ryan yelled from the side: "Winters, it was your brother who saved you just now! We, your brother, are awesome!"

Winters swallowed his thanks abruptly.

Nijiu didn't take it seriously either, and said, "I'm worried that you lost too much blood and passed out, just wake up."

After speaking, Nijiu stood up and walked towards Qingyan.

He raised his voice and asked, "Teacher, can you still find the GPS location of other students?"

Neijiu just dropped the backpack aside, and the laser gun was also dropped on the ground.

Winters picked up Nijito's laser gun while others were not paying attention.

He removed the exhausted energy pool, replaced it with his full energy pool, and put Nijito's laser gun back in place as if nothing had happened.

At this moment, Ryan let out a long sigh of despair, which made Winters' hands tremble with fright.

"No, the optical brain has no signal!"

None of the optical brains of the four people could receive signals, the GPS could not be connected, and they could not get in touch with other people.

Qing Yan's expression turned serious.

"We're out of touch," he announced.

Cut off from all contact with the outside world, they can only follow their instincts and wander around in the forest, hoping to meet other people.

The giant spiders have been blown away, but the smaller ones are plentiful.Nijiu could step on a spider every few steps, and the crisp clicking sound under his feet gave him goosebumps.

Nijiu could only stand on tiptoe, carefully illuminate the ground with high beams, and quickly dodge when she saw a dark shadow.

Qingyan was walking beside Nijiu, when he saw Mijiu's movements, he raised his eyebrows.

Qingyan plucked a leaf, crumpled it into a ball, and flicked it towards Nijiu.The leaves hit Nijito's ankle lightly, like a small bug landing on the skin, bringing a burst of itching.

Nijito jumped up suddenly: "——a spider crawled on my feet!!"

At this time, Qingyan was the closest to Nijiu, and Nijiu hugged him in a panic, her fingers were trembling.

Qingyan calmed down, put his arm on Nijiu's shoulder: "Are you so scared?"

Nijiu's scalp was numb, and she unconsciously tugged at Qingyan's neckline: "Did you see that? Did a spider jump on me just now?"

"Yeah, I see." Qing Yan intentionally confuses the audience, "Is this why you keep grabbing me?"

Heihu roared, he leaned over and grabbed Nijiu by the neckline.Like a cub, Heihu lifted Nijiu easily and pulled him out of Qingyan's arms.

Heihu put Nijiu on the ground and patted him with his front paws to show comfort.

Ryan witnessed the whole process and couldn't help laughing when he saw this.

"Brother You, you will lose all human face!"

Winters couldn't hold back his usual indifferent expression, so he burst out laughing.

Ryan heard Winters' laughter and raised his high beams on him: "Oh, that's so rare, Winters, that you can laugh."

Winters straightened his face again: "It has nothing to do with you, hurry up and lead the way."

Ryan accidentally saw the scene where Winters exchanged the energy pool for Nijiu just now, and his impression of him has also changed a lot.

Ryan joked: "Why, didn't you just exchange your energy pool for Nijiu, and started pretending to be a villain again?"

"Energy pool?" Nijiu heard his name, turned around in a daze, and pulled out the laser gun at his waist, "Are you talking about it?"

Nijiu took out the energy pool and found that the energy pool had indeed been replaced, and it is now full.

He quickly guessed the reason and thanked Winters: "Thank you, Winters."

Winters saw that his little action was exposed, and with a dark face, he elbowed Ryan in the side.

Their atmosphere was finally relaxed, and it was no longer as dull as before.

They continued to march in the dark, relying on high beams to illuminate the road ahead.

At this time, Ryan patted the high beam and said, "This light seems to be a little darker, is it my illusion?"

Ryan was right.Their high beams were running out of battery, and the light was getting dimmer.It can only illuminate the road ahead of more than 20 meters, and then there is a boundless darkness.

"let me see."

Qingyan knew the seriousness of losing the light source, so he took the high beam from Ruian's hand and took apart the battery board.

The high beam has only 5.00% charge left.

Qingyan returned the lamp to Ryan and said, "Try to go as fast as possible, we don't have time to spend here. If the direction is correct, we should be able to reach the second camp before the battery is completely exhausted."

They nodded and increased their walking speed.

They walked for about 10 minutes in the dark forest.There are stones and insects all over the road, and if you don't pay attention, you will twist your ankle.

Just when the group was exhausted, a ray of light suddenly appeared in front of their eyes.

It was a strange light.

Unlike harsh high beams or dim torches, the light was very soft and moderately toned.It is like a less dazzling sun, illuminating the forest brightly, like the sun outside the forest.

In the darkness of silence, this light is undoubtedly inspiring.

"Is it a rescue, did someone else find us?" Ryan was very surprised. He raised his arms and shouted, "—Hey, we are here!"

Nijiu was scared by spiders and centipedes more than a dozen times along the way. When he saw the light, his heart was finally relieved.

Qingyan lit the disposable spotlight for help, and the extremely scorching white light bloomed in the forest like fireworks.The light was so dazzling that it could even sting the eyes.

They quickened their pace and walked towards the opposite side.

But as the distance gradually approached, Qingyan felt something was wrong.

Qingyan stopped silently, staring at the ray of light, his pupils became more and more slender, reflecting the faint light like a beast.

Qingyan's gaze passed through the obstructing leaves and branches, and directly reached the source of the light.

Qingyan saw a group of people in white robes.

Pointy ears, fair skin, all of them have long light-colored hair, and they all exude a faint luster.

Qingyan's face was a little ugly, and she said softly, "It's an elf."

Nijiu heard him talking to himself, but he didn't react.

Nijiu asked: "Elves? Isn't that a legendary creature?"

At this time, Nijiu heard the sound of a sharp weapon passing through the air.A silver arrow pierced the darkness and shot towards them, pointing straight at Nijiu.

Qingyan turned her head abruptly and grabbed the arrow.

His movements are extremely agile, almost breaking through the limits of human beings, and Nijiu only saw a phantom.

Qingyan looked cold, and handed the arrow to Nijiu: "Look."

It was a sharp arrow made of sterling silver with pale blue feathers, exquisite workmanship, and heavy in the hand.Nijiu's hand slid across the arrow, and he could clearly feel a strong spiritual power.

Nijiu once read the relevant records of this kind of silver arrow in a document.

Nijiu looked at the ray of light approaching them, and repeated Qingyan's words.

"They're elves."
