Sitting beside the crystal coffin, Xiaoyu waited for Qi Ling while idly plucking a foxtail grass and counting the seeds on it.
"Seriously, why has Bai Di been gone for so long? Could it be that he was eaten by that monster too?" Xiaoyu muttered to herself, hugging her knees.
"I'd rather be eaten than you, honestly." Just then, Qi Ling suddenly appeared and plopped down next to Xiaoyu. "Can't you wish me well for once? That's so unfair of you."
" Bai Di, you're back!" Xiaoyu was overjoyed to see Qi Ling appear, but her expression turned to surprise the next second. "You, why are you covered in blood? Are you injured?"
"Yeah, that guy is harder to deal with than I thought," Qi Ling said helplessly, then tore open his tattered clothes, revealing several deep, bone-revealing wounds crisscrossing his chest, making him look quite fearless.
Such injuries would have been fatal to anyone else, but fortunately, Qi Ling's bones were exceptionally strong, which allowed her to withstand the attack and avoid fatal injury.
Looking at Qi Ling's horrific wound, Xiaoyu Yu's face turned pale. She cried out anxiously, "Ah, ahhh, what are we going to do? Medicine, medicine, where is the medicine?!"
"Hey, don't panic, I won't die," Qi Ling said helplessly. "I've already treated my wound myself, the bleeding has stopped, don't worry. All I need now is time."
"The creatures on this island are much tougher than I thought. These points really aren't easy to get."
As Qi Ling spoke, she opened her right hand, revealing a coin marked "100 points," which was the reward she received after defeating the Ferocious Beast Qi Ling.
Xiaoyu at the coin in Qi Ling's hand, Xiao Yu couldn't help but ask curiously, "Hey? What's this, Qi Ling? Is it money from this world?"
"Yes, this is points, you could think of it as money in this world, since it can be used to exchange for items," Qi Ling said. "Haven't you seen this before?"
"Ah, I've seen it before, I've seen it before." Xiaoyu said, taking out three 20-point coins from her pocket, "I found these on the road before, but I didn't know what they were for."
Qi Ling looked at the coin in Xiaoyu's hand and felt that the girl's luck was indeed ridiculously good. How could she even find something like that?
"Sigh, it seems we have no choice but to go to the safe zone," Qi Ling said helplessly. "This injury is more serious than I thought; I need a safe place to recuperate."
" Xiaoyu, do you have a way to find the safe zone? Or, do you have a way to determine our location here?"
Xiaoyu nodded and said, "Sure, my ability allows me to pinpoint our location and orient myself, so we won't get lost."
When Xiaoyu said that she could determine Qi Ling's location using that small pebble, Qi Ling thought that Xiaoyu's ability might be able to locate and determine direction, which is why she asked that question. Sure enough, she was not disappointed.
As long as you can identify the direction, you only need to walk in that direction and you will eventually find clues. As long as you don't go around in circles, you will eventually find your destination.
"Alright, in that case, Xiaoyu, Cang Yue on your back, let's set off," Qi Ling said.
"Huh? Why do I have to carry it? I, I..." Xiaoyu immediately protested, finding it hard to accept carrying a coffin.
Qi Ling then said, "There's no other way. My injuries prevent me from exerting myself like that, so I have to trouble you. Or are you really willing to just watch her die here?"
"I, I..." In the end, Xiaoyu couldn't bear it, so she had no choice but to carry the crystal coffin on her back and set off with Qi Ling. Although Xiaoyu was petite, she still had the strength to carry the coffin.
The two walked in one direction. Qi Ling roughly judged that the four safe zones should be evenly distributed on the island, and could not all be concentrated in one location, so that she could find them.
After searching for about half a day, Qi Ling finally spotted a building, which basically confirmed that it was the location of the safe zone.
Upon hearing the news, Xiaoyu exclaimed excitedly, "Great! I can finally rest!"
Qi Ling then said from the side, "Hey, judging from your tone, do you think I'm forcing you to do any work?"
Xiaoyu pouted and said secretly, "That's how it is..."
The two walked towards the safe zone. When they could see the entire safe zone, Xiaoyu cheered and was about to run forward, but Qi Ling stopped her.
"What's wrong, Bai Di? Why are you stopping me? We finally found the safe zone," Xiaoyu asked, puzzled.
However, Qi Ling remained silent. He solemnly surveyed the open space before him, checking his surroundings, before raising his head and loudly proclaiming, "I wonder which brother has set up this ambush? Would it be convenient for you to temporarily withdraw your supernatural powers and allow us to pass through?"
Xiaoyu was startled by Qi Ling's words, but no matter how carefully she looked, she couldn't find any trap. She asked curiously, " Bai Di, what are you talking about? Are you sure you're not mistaken...?"
Before Xiaoyu could finish speaking, a person suddenly jumped down from the tree in front of them, calmly approached them, and carefully examined Qi Ling, saying, "You... can see through our trap?"
Qi Ling smiled and said, "That's fine. I suppose you set the trap here to hunt down those careless contestants and get their points, right?"
"I'm not interested in what you're doing, and it's a legitimate part of the competition, so I won't stop you. I just need to pass through here for a bit; I'm heading to the safe zone."
When people discover a safe zone they've been searching for, they often lose their judgment due to momentary elation. Therefore, if there is a trap in front of them at this time, it is very difficult for them to notice it.
The person in front of us took advantage of this; when people lower their guard, the success rate of setting a trap will undoubtedly increase significantly.
Moreover, there are definitely more than just this one person doing this. At least Qi Ling can see at least four or five other people in the trees in the distance. As for whether they are a group, Qi Ling cannot judge that.
The man in front of him was very curious about how Qi Ling Qi Ling could see through his trap, but when he saw the injuries on Qi Ling's body, he immediately felt relieved.
"Hmph, so what if you can see through my trap? You're so badly injured, you must be exhausted, right? A wounded soldier and a little girl, this combination is just too much to bear, you're clearly easy prey," the man said.
Xiaoyu, upon hearing the man's words, angrily retorted, "What are you talking about? I'm not fat at all! My figure is perfectly normal; everyone says I'm actually on the thin side!"
man. "..."
Qi Ling: "..."
