In dangerous situations, his own combat awareness and abilities are insufficient to react in time... but Wen Jing!
For Brown, being Wen Jing was like entrusting his body to a master at a crucial moment.
Isn't this better than him doing it himself?
After Brown said that, the other three also realized what was going on.
That makes sense!
For a moment, they were thinking far ahead to the league. In their current exploration of the Ancient Wilderness, the previous battles had already fully demonstrated that Wen Jing's strength and reaction were more trustworthy than their own.
Normally, they would fight on their own, but battles can change in an instant, and anything can happen.
Wen Jing's orders can become a life-saving skill that can be unleashed in critical moments.
The next moment...
Eve: " Brown is right, I need it too! Please don't hesitate to order me around!"
He Pingyun: "Please! Wen Jing!"
Ji Shuang: "Then I'll..."
Wen Jing wanted to complain, but then thought it was better to stay silent at this moment.
And so, amidst a terrible team voice chat, the five stepped onto the rope knot adorned with golden ears of wheat.
Chapter 73
The moment the five stepped onto the knotted wheat stalks, the world before them changed, and the familiar wasteland reappeared.
Everyone was ready for battle, but deep down Wen Jing didn't believe that things would be the same as the previous knotted ropes.
"No wind?"
Soon, they discovered that there were no enemies in the vast wilderness this time.
As they looked at each other in bewilderment, Wen Jing sensed something and looked up at the sky.
In the sky, a golden sun is shining brightly.
The next moment, the light pulsed, seemingly transforming into beams of light visible to the naked eye, and then...
"Splash splash splash..."
The sound of something cutting through the air grew louder as it approached, and the other four people also noticed it.
"It's in the sky!"
"Smack!"
Something granular fell from the sky.
One pill, two pills... ten pills, a hundred pills.
Instead of wind, it started raining on this wasteland.
But this rain wasn't just water droplets.
Upon seeing the particles falling from the sky, everyone instinctively dodged. Ji Shuang and He Yunping even used their special abilities to condense floating ice and rock umbrellas for the others.
However, soon, an alluring aura of energy emanated from the ever-expanding rain.
Wen Jing clearly saw with his compound eyes that golden grains of rice fell from the sky, scattered on the earth, and disappeared instantly upon touching the ground.
Not only the earth, but also the floating ice and rocks that Ji Shuang and He Yunping had gathered could not hold them back.
Once it falls onto these substances, it also disappears without a trace.
Wen Jing also used Energy-Shaping Weapon and Gravity Silk. The former was the same as Ji Shuang's ability, while the latter stuck Gu Zi to the ground but could not stop his movement.
How come it looks like ginseng fruit?
The thought had just crossed her mind when a brilliant idea struck her. She reached behind her and picked up two pink seashells, one on each side.
"Tap tap..."
Several grains of rice quickly appeared between the two small seashells, successfully trapping them.
If Wen Jing's current Wilderness Body were scaled down proportionally, it would resemble two plates of ginseng fruit.
" Brown!"
Eve gasped in surprise during the Mental Link.
While the others were still observing and hesitating, Brown next to her couldn't control his body's instincts. He stuck out his long tongue and scooped a grain of rice that was falling in front of him into his mouth.
I'll give it a try...
While part of the reason was that he couldn't resist, Brown's actions weren't entirely reckless.
His special ability is toxins, giving him an advantage in recovery and resistance to poisons. Realizing he can't play a role in combat, this is the time to contribute to the team.
However, they soon saw that not only Brown, but also Wen Jing, who was floating in the sky, was picking up the seashells next to him and pouring them into his mouthparts.
With Abnormal Status Immunity, Compulsive Eating, and Potent Poison Resistance... possessing these three major traits and having plenty of Skill Points to spare, Wen Jing wasn't afraid that the grains were poisonous at all.
In terms of resistance to toxins, a hundred Brown couldn't compare to her.
Moreover, considering the wheat ears woven into the knots, the probability of the grains being poisonous is extremely low.
"This is a rare treasure!"
The next moment, Brown cheered with delight through the Mental Link. He turned to look at the spot where he had been injured. The wound had healed, and new scales were growing back at a visible speed.
"Eat."
Wen Jing also confirmed through her obsessive-compulsive disorder that the wonderful feeling of eating the grains was not an illusion.
Upon hearing her command, the remaining four immediately opened their mouths and began to eat.
As the wonderful taste spread in their mouths, energy flowed through their limbs and bones, and a sense of joy and emotion welled up in the minds of the four people.
This Ancient Wilderness exploration, after overcoming several crises, finally encountered an opportunity!
Moreover, all the previous crises were averted without serious harm thanks to Wen Jing's presence. Since the three of them joined the Operations Department, they had participated in many team explorations, but none of them had gone as smoothly as this time.
Following Wen Jing was definitely the right decision; the feeling of clinging to a powerful figure is truly blissful!
"Shuashuashua..."
Realizing this rare opportunity, the four of them quickly got to work, each displaying their unique skills, and feasted to their hearts' content.
These grains falling from the sky will disappear when they land on the ground or other materials; even supernatural powers cannot stop them. Apart from seashells, no storage method has been found yet, so we must seize the time while they are falling from the sky and eat them.
Ji Shuang took flight, opened its beak, and swallowed all the grains of rice it bumped into along the way.
Brown's tongue kept moving in and out, swirling in a clump of grains at a time.
Eve gave He Yunping a seashell, and the two agile animals used the seashell as a bowl, pouring it back and forth into their mouths.
In less than two minutes, Eve and Brown, who had been injured before, felt that their injuries had healed.
Ji Shuang and He Yunping felt an abundance of energy within their bodies, and their Wilderness Body attributes were enhanced compared to before.
After experiencing the benefits, the four of them ate at the fastest speed they had ever seen—it was obvious that this 'rain' couldn't go on forever, and the more they ate before the rain stopped, the more benefits they would receive.
However, everyone present was a small-sized, Wilderness Body, and their Digestion abilities were limited due to their size.
"Shut up, eat it!"
Of the four, Brown was the fastest to finish eating. Even though he kept urging himself to stop, he couldn't help but slow down, and his stomach was already bulging and touching the ground.
As his speed slowed down, he subconsciously turned his gaze to his other teammates.
Eve and He Yunping, who were closest to him, were still trying to put the seashells into their mouths, but their mouths seemed to leak, and every time, the grains that couldn't be stuffed in would slip out from their protruding bellies.
Looking up slightly, I saw a small white bird with a determined gaze darting through the Guyu. Its speed seemed unchanged, only its feathers were all ruffled...
What about Wen Jing?
Have you rested yet?
Thinking of Wen Jing's physique, Brown felt sorry for her small stature.
However, the next moment, his gaze continued to rise and caught sight of a pinkish-white color higher up.
Carrying a white seashell on its back, two pink seashells were held in the hands of an inconspicuous little insect, fluttering rapidly like a pair of wings.
Like an eraser, it wipes away the golden rain streaks wherever it goes.
Brown stopped eating, straining with his excellent dynamic vision to carefully observe and finally discern the details of Wen Jing's feeding.
The pink seashell that looks like wings isn't flapping its wings at all; instead, like Eve and the other creature, it acts as a container, pouring grains into the insect's mouthparts.
No, saying "pour" is inappropriate; it should be "pat."
With a precision and reflexes that Brown could not comprehend, Wen Jing moved through the Guyu. With each movement of the seashell, at least three grains of rice would hit the mouth and disappear instantly.
Seeing this, Brown subconsciously swallowed the grain of rice stuck in his mouth, and immediately choked, his eyes widening in shock.
These grains are quite hard! How come they melt in Wen Jing?
Brown's change caught the attention of the two people next to him—mainly because they too were finding it difficult to maintain their initial eating pace.
After Eve and He Yunping looked up, the number of onlookers increased to three.
The three then realized that if Wen Jing hadn't been working so hard at the top, the 'rain' they were facing would have been even heavier.
But... is it reasonable to consume food that is many times heavier than one's own body weight?!
"Grumble..."
Not long after, Ji Shuang, who had held on the longest, also let out a weak cry and plummeted down from the sky, the bird having lost its previous lightness.
As a result, the number of people watching the insect feed increased to four.
As time ticked by, the speed at Wen Jing from the sky did not slow down at all; on the contrary, the rain gradually subsided.
The four people on the ground also changed their mindset from "I didn't realize insectoid Wilderness Body were so strong" to "It's understandable that they are so strong with such a large appetite."
"Chew, chew, chew..."
Wen Jing, naturally unaware of her teammate's emotional shift, only had eyes for the golden, delicious treats.
These grains are not 'unbalanced'; like the red berries, bird eggs, Emerald Crystal Rice Grain on the giant tree, they are rare treasures that can increase all attributes after consumption!
Because of her Directed Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder specific traits, the control panel would pop up every time a grain of rice entered her mouth.
Therefore, with each bite Wen Jing, his attribute values jump upwards, and every second is a beautiful display of increasing strength.
As for whether she's full or not, or whether she's stuffed, it's Digestion asking her if she's stuffed or not...
Compared to his teammates on the ground, Wen Jing in the sky was like playing a bullet hell game; he would gain attribute points for each grain he caught.
