As night fell, the group was not far from the center of the forest, but out of caution, Bi Zihan did not choose to head to the center of the forest that night, but planned to wait until dawn to go there.
After all, they had no idea what existed in the heart of the forest.
The group sat around an ancient tree, without lighting a campfire for light, simply sitting quietly and recovering their strength.
Bi Zihan took out some wild fruits he had picked beforehand from his Soul Tool and distributed them to everyone, so that everyone could eat something to replenish their bodies.
" Hu Liena, Xie Yue, you two should have Martial Soul Fusion Skill, right? May I ask, what are the conditions for releasing Martial Soul Fusion Skill?" Bi Zihan casually ate the wild fruit in his hand, seemingly asking the question unintentionally.
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue listened carefully to their answers, showing great interest in the question.
" Martial Soul Fusion Skill requires extreme compatibility between the two individuals, a spiritual resonance, and then they can unleash it at will." Hu Liena ate wild fruit, not paying much attention, and directly stated the conditions for releasing Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
Upon hearing this, Bi Zihan and Qian Renxue exchanged a thoughtful glance, but did not speak further.
The conditions Hu Liena mentioned sounded easy—simply requiring a high degree of compatibility and spiritual resonance between the two. However, it wasn't actually that simple. While cooperation was easy, true compatibility was quite challenging.
Furthermore, one must achieve a spiritual resonance in order to unleash the Martial Soul Fusion Skill at will, which is something that cannot be done in a short period of time.
At least, Bi Zihan himself felt that this was not a simple matter.
"There are six of us. I, Xie Yue, and Yan will take turns keeping watch for four hours each. The rest of you can rest well. If you discover anything during your watch, don't act alone. Wake everyone up first." Bi Zihan rubbed his temples and explained the watch arrangement. He then waited quietly for their thoughts to see if they had any different opinions.
"Each person has four hours, and they can take turns resting to ensure that they are always in peak condition. I agree with this idea and have no objections." Xie Yue nodded and agreed. There are many of them now, so taking turns to keep watch and rest is a very good method.
Yan glanced at Hu Liena, then at Bi Zihan, and said directly, "There's no need for such trouble. It's just one night. Do we really need to take turns keeping watch? I'll keep watch myself. Nana, you can just get some rest."
Bi Zihan glanced at him, leaned against the ancient tree, and made no intention of speaking. Since someone wanted to keep watch, he had no reason to refuse; he would just have to be more vigilant.
Xie Yue glanced at Yan with some surprise. Although she sensed that Yan was acting strangely, she didn't say anything.
Hu Liena merely glanced at Yan, showing no intention of paying him any attention.
Qian Renxue leaned against the ancient tree, closed her eyes, but remained alert, constantly monitoring her surroundings. In case of any unforeseen circumstances, aside from Bi Zihan, the others here wouldn't be of much help.
Of course, Ye Lingling, who possesses the Nine Heart Begonia, can still be of some help. With her around, there's no need to worry about getting hurt.
Ye Lingling discreetly moved a distance away from Yan and sat down next to Bi Zihan and Qian Renxue. She knew very well that the two strongest people present were Bi Zihan and Qian Renxue.
Therefore, being next to the two of them is the safest place, at least safer and more reliable than being with Xie Yue and Yan.
Except for Yan, the group of people were all resting with their eyes closed, but they had one thing in common: they were constantly on guard about their surroundings.
A gentle breeze rustled the leaves of the ancient trees, and the forest nights, without the warmth of a campfire, were still a little chilly.
Bi Zihan opened his eyes, glanced around, sat down and thought for a moment. He took out a piece of clothing from his Soul Tool, covered Qian Renxue with it, and then closed his eyes as if nothing had happened. He continued to lean against the ancient tree and rest.
Qian Renxue opened her eyes, looked at her clothes, then at Bi Zihan beside her, gave a gentle smile, and quietly leaned against the ancient tree, closing her eyes.
He volunteered to guard Ye Yan. He was a little stunned when he saw Bi Zihan's actions, but then he looked thoughtful and walked over to Hu Liena who was sitting to the side.
But as soon as he reached Hu Liena Hu Liena opened her eyes and asked, "Yan, is there something you need?"
"Ahem, it's nothing, it's just that the night view is so beautiful tonight, I'm just looking at it from a different angle." Yan coughed lightly, feeling a little embarrassed, and just made up an excuse.
"If you're on night watch, then keep watch properly and don't wander around." Hu Liena glanced at him and then ignored him.
Yan gave an awkward smile and walked straight back, his eyes scanning his surroundings warily to see if anything unusual was happening.
As time passed, the sun rose in the east, its golden rays gradually reddening the eastern sky, and the brilliant clouds were painted a crimson hue.
"The sunrise over the forest is still quite beautiful," Bi Zihan murmured to himself, leaning against an ancient tree and watching the sunrise.
"Yes, it is indeed very beautiful." Qian Renxue opened her eyes at some point and nodded in agreement.
"However, compared to you, it is not even one ten-thousandth as good."
Bi Zihan stretched and stood up, saying, "It's dawn. Everyone's rested enough. We should head to the central area of the forest."
Qian Renxue looked at Bi Zihan had gotten up, chuckled, casually put the clothes covering her into her Soul Tool, and got up to head to the central area.
"Having been in the forest for so long, today has been the most peaceful day so far." Xie Yue stood up from the ground, glanced around, and found that everyone had gradually gotten up and were in good spirits.
Of course, this does not include Yan.
Of the group, only Yan, who had volunteered, was in the worst mental state. After all, he had been keeping watch all night, while the others had been resting with their eyes closed all night; the two were simply incomparable.
The group headed towards the center of the forest. Upon entering the central area, everyone felt an unusual quietness, as if no Soul Beast or ordinary animals existed there.
