Chapter 161 Being Chased
Everyone ran forward with all their might, straining their bodies to the limit. Their footsteps echoed across this unfamiliar land, a touch of panic and tension.
After running for half an hour, everyone was exhausted, their clothes soaked with sweat, and some people's breathing became rapid. However, the only thing on their minds at this moment was to get away from the wolves behind them as soon as possible. Nangong Jingming was running at the back, his eyes vigilantly scanning the surroundings, constantly paying attention to the movements of the wolves. Soon, he discovered the problem.
"Everyone, stop for a moment! The wolves aren't coming over there anymore," Nangong Jingming said. His voice was steady and powerful, which made everyone feel a little relieved. Nangong Jingming frowned slightly, wondering why the wolves didn't continue chasing them.
"Huh, finally they're not catching up. Now I can finally take a break," Su Siyi said thankfully. A tired smile crossed her face, her heart filled with a longing for a moment of peace. Su Siyi bent slightly, her hands resting on her knees, breathing heavily. This was her first time being chased like this, and her breathing became much more rapid.
"Jingyi, Jinger, Xuexin, Berlin, you guys be alert around here!" Nangong Jingming did not relax, because he was sure that this was not the wolf pack's base, it must be the territory of other animals that are more powerful than the wolves, so naturally he had to be alert to the surrounding situation.
His voice was serious and decisive, making people dare not slack off. Nangong Jingming's eyes were full of vigilance. He knew that in this unknown land, danger could come at any time.
"Sister, take a rest here first!" Su Wenying took out a chair and placed it so that Su Siyi could sit down and have a good rest! His eyes were full of concern, and his love for his sister was beyond words. Su Wenying gently helped Su Siyi sit down, then stood beside her, guarding her.
"Everyone, take turns to rest. There must be other ferocious animals here, but we just don't know what they are!" Nangong Jingming said with certainty. His voice was full of worry, reminding everyone not to take it lightly.
Nangong Jingming looked around at this unfamiliar environment, his heart filled with vigilance.
"Brother Nangong, take a look at the map. Is there any change?" Su Siyi suddenly felt that her guide map had changed, so she asked Nangong Jingming. Her eyes were full of anticipation, hoping that the change in the map would bring them some new clues.
Su Siyi frowned slightly, wondering why the map had changed.
"Let me take a look!" Nangong Jingming immediately checked the guide map for the check-in mission. His eyes were focused and serious, carefully observing every detail on the map.
"Siyi, the map has changed. We can save three days on this route!" It would have taken about half a month, but now with three days saved, it will only take about ten days to reach the destination.
Nangong Jingming's voice was full of surprise. He didn't expect the map to change at this time. Nangong Jingming raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a relieved smile.
"I didn't expect that the route could be changed!" Su Siyi was a little surprised. After all, in her mind, the route provided by the system must be the closest one. She didn't expect that there would be a new route now.
Her eyes were full of curiosity and confusion about the changes in the map. Su Siyi tilted her head slightly, thinking about the reason for the change in the map.
"Perhaps we opened the secret passage and came here, which is why the map of this route is displayed. Since we have the map, let's follow the route provided by the system!" Nangong Jingming said. His voice was full of decisiveness, and he decided to move forward according to the guidance of the map.
Nangong Jingming's eyes were full of anticipation, hoping that this new route would allow them to reach their destination faster.
"Okay!" Su Siyi naturally had no objection, and the others would have no objection either. Having a route to follow was much better than wandering around randomly. Su Siyi's eyes were full of trust. She believed in Nangong Jingming's decision. Su Siyi nodded slightly, her heart full of anticipation.
"Bai Lin, Wen Yang, you guys go behind me. I'll lead the way, and everyone else should follow. Protect Si Yi," Nangong Jingming ordered. His voice was serious and decisive, and no one dared to disobey.
Nangong Jingming's eyes were filled with determination; he knew full well the importance of protecting Su Siyi. Soon, the formation was organized, and Nangong Jingming took the lead, beginning to follow the route provided by the system. His steps were firm and powerful, as if conveying a sense of confidence to the others. After walking for half an hour, it was already around eleven o'clock. At this time, the sun was high in the sky, and the light was shining on the earth, giving people a warm feeling.
"Everyone is a little tired, let's rest here first. However, the number of people staying behind at night will need to be increased, and everyone will take turns to keep watch. You two girls should go in and rest first!" Nangong Jingming said to Su Siyi and Zhong Shumei.
Zhong Shumei had never received such treatment during previous missions, but now their main mission was to protect Su Siyi, and she was the best person to protect at night. Nangong Jingming's eyes were full of concern. He hoped that everyone could recover their strength during the rest and prepare for the next journey.
"Yes." Everyone quickly divided their shifts into periods of duty and rest, a solemn and vigilant expression on everyone's face. They knew full well that in this unfamiliar environment, danger could arise at any moment, and therefore they had to remain highly alert. Everyone began to rest in an orderly manner according to their assigned time. Some leaned against tree trunks, eyes slightly closed, trying to recover some strength in this brief moment; others sat on the ground, silently checking their equipment to ensure they could quickly engage in combat if needed. If nothing unexpected happened, they planned to rest here until dawn the next day, then leave and continue their journey.
The atmosphere here made them feel a constant sense of danger. A tense atmosphere hung in the air. The tranquility of the night seemed a false illusion, poised to be shattered at any moment. While their bodies relaxed during their rest, their minds remained tense. They were constantly alert to their surroundings, listening for even the slightest sound, their eyes warily scanning every corner of the darkness.
Everyone had been worried all night, but no further danger had occurred. When the first rays of sunlight shone across the earth, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The tense atmosphere seemed to be dispelled by the sunlight, replaced by a sense of ease and relief.
