"Shasha..."
At some point, trees and vines crawling from all directions on the pitch-black land slowly crawled towards where Team F 8 and Team G 123 were.
"Zheng..."
When the branch approached the tent of Team F8, it was suddenly blocked by an invisible barrier. The branch slowly touched it without giving up, but it was still blocked and unable to move forward.
Those branches did not give up, and extended directly around the protective shield to cover it layer by layer.
The three teams on the other side were not as lucky as Mu Qingxin's team. They were not protected by protective shields, and the night watchers had also fallen into a deep sleep.
"Shasha..."
The rustling sound became increasingly clear, the sound of branches spreading and rubbing against the ground.
More and more branches surrounded the three teams, and their first target was the three night watchmen who were already asleep.
I saw one of them leaning further out, and the branches were slowly climbing up along the person's legs.
At this time, in the monitoring room in the camp, people have been stationed here since Burton and the others came to the monitoring room yesterday. Marshal Jiyou’s order is to observe the movements of the students 24 hours a day. If there is any danger, , we should pay attention immediately, just in case.
Therefore, Burton discussed with Ling Xuan that the Netherworld Team and Philibel would each be responsible for part of the monitoring and always pay attention to the status of the children. Ling Xuan listened and of course agreed. Someone took on half of the task. How could they refuse? , not to mention that Burton worked hard to leave a good impression on the Netherworld Team, how could he dampen their enthusiasm.
But at night, the few people sent by Burton fell asleep because they were too sleepy, and the part of the surveillance they were responsible for happened to include the eighth team and the first, second and third teams. Team, no one saw what happened on their side at this time...
"Shasha... Shasha..."
Mu Qingxin was meditating, and her whole body was empty. Her consciousness had reached the top of the forest, and she was exploring the surroundings with great effort. Although she was emptying herself, her five senses were still... Feeling about the surroundings, she just felt that the forest tonight It's a bit noisy. It's all rustling. Is it windy tonight? Thinking of this possibility, Mu Qingxin stopped thinking about it and continued to train her consciousness and spiritual power to expand.
The branches suddenly wrapped around a person's waist and slowly shrank. At this time, the three night watchmen of the 1st, 23rd and 3rd teams were wrapped in branches except for their heads, and they were gently lifted up and moved.
"Shasha... Shasha..."
Mu Qingxin frowned, why did the rustling sound feel so heavy this time? Mu Qing looked down with her mind, wondering, the trees below were obviously not shaking, so why was there a rustling sound
Suddenly, Mu Qingxin felt something was wrong, and immediately withdrew her consciousness. As soon as she withdrew her consciousness, her scalp went numb when she saw the surrounding situation. At this time, their protective shield was covered with branches, and it was pitch black, and It was shrinking continuously, trying to break the protective shield.
Mu Qingxin opened her eyes immediately. She didn't know how long the protective shield would last, so she had to shout everyone up quickly.
"Sister Cora, Lingling, Lanlan, wake up quickly, wake up..." Mu Qingxin pushed the people around her and shouted loudly.
Korra opened her eyes immediately in response and looked at Mu Qingxin in confusion.
"Huh? Xinxin, what's wrong?"
"Is it dawn yet? Ha~"
Dongfang Ling and Shui Huanlan asked... in confusion.
Mu Qingxin stood up and opened the partition curtain. Considering safety issues and the size of the protective shield, they transformed the tent into a large tent, which was directly separated by a curtain. Everyone slept in this tent. Anyway, I've been sleeping on a big bunk for so many days, so it doesn't matter.
"Thomas, Bailiyan, Wence, Myron, Locke, Darren, wake up quickly," Mu Qingxin shouted one by one, "Everyone, get up quickly. If there is an emergency, hurry up..."
After hearing Mu Qingxin say something was going on, everyone immediately woke up, packed themselves up and stood up.
"What's wrong? What's going on?" Bailiyan asked.
Mu Qingxin opened the tent door, "Look."
The people in Vance looked outside, "Huh? Is our fire extinguished? Then I'll add more firewood..." The fire was burning outside the protective cover. When everyone saw the darkness outside, they thought the fire was extinguished.
"No, the fire is not out!" Cora said calmly, staring outside tightly.
When Thomas and Myron heard this, they also looked outside, walked out of the tent, and turned on the light tube.
"Ah! What is that?" Shui Huanlan covered her mouth and exclaimed.
"Hiss~"
After the others saw the scene outside clearly, they all gasped. They saw that the protective cover was densely wrapped with branches, and those branches were still shrinking.
"What...what is this?" Shui Huanlan grabbed Dongfang Ling's clothes tightly and asked in horror. Locke and Darren also looked frightened. Although Bailiyan was also scared, his face remained calm. , but this was just him trying to restrain himself, but he was actually very scared inside.
Cora looked at the branches above and said in a deep voice, "This is the devil's vine, which specializes in sucking blood for nutrients for its growth. Once it enters its range, no matter how strong the beast is, it will be entangled and sucked dry... "
When everyone heard this, their faces turned pale, and Thomas said calmly, "But our map does not indicate that there is devil's vine here."
The maps handed out by each team marked the location of some powerful and dangerous animals and plants, reminding the students of the dangers there...but why is there no devil's vine shown here
"Maybe there's another possibility. Devil's ivy is often active at night, so it's not found."
"Then...what should we do now?" Locke swallowed and asked.
Bailiyan immediately checked online, "The weakness of devil's vine is fire, but some powerful devil's vines are not afraid of fire."
"What are you afraid of?" Vance asked.
Bailiyan frowned and quickly flipped through the information above.
Cora looked at Bailiyan, "No need to check, those powerful devil vines are not afraid of anything. We can only pray tonight that this is a devil vine that is afraid of fire."
"..." The faces of Locke and others turned even paler.
"Then let me try!" Myron walked to the protective shield, lit a fire, and moved the fire to the protective shield. Everyone's eyes were fixed there.
"It's over!" These were the only two words in everyone's mind. They saw that the fire had moved to the protective cover, and the devil's vine on it still did not react. It was obvious that this devil's vine... was not afraid of fire!
"I don't know how long the protective shield can last..." Mu Qingxin looked at the protective shield above her head and said worriedly.
"How about... we press the distress button?" Darren said hesitantly.
"No!" Wangs objected firmly, "This is only the second day of the field competition. It's so embarrassing to be eliminated on the second day!"
