When Duan Chen regained consciousness, he opened his eyes and found himself in what looked like a deep mountain forest.
He couldn't tell where he was at all.
He removed the blindfold from his eyes and looked around, but, whether it was expected or unexpected, he found no one else around him.
His heart sank.
Judging by this, this special training, this secret realm, never intended for them to leave alive.
In a place of extreme danger, they had dispersed their team members. Did they think everyone possessed the ability to protect themselves?
Not to mention others.
Just take Yuan Qingqing.
Her ability, let alone self-protection, was already good if she could feed herself.
His greatest concern now was Yuan Qingqing, fearing if anything dangerous would happen to the weak girl in this secret realm.
Duan Chen's heart sank. He suddenly remembered that before leaving the dormitory in the capital district, he had equipped everyone with a map.
Thinking of this, he quickly opened the map and looked at the figures of everyone displayed on it, and suddenly he breathed a sigh of relief.
The map couldn't indicate the distance between each person.
But it could indicate everyone's position. As long as they searched in that direction, they could find their teammates.
However, there were very few people displayed on the map.
The maximum area Duan Chen's mental power could cover without him actively using it was the maximum area the map could display.
On this map, what could be displayed were not only his teammates but also other life forms.
Teammates were represented by cartoon character icons. Duan Chen hadn't had time to create cartoon characters for his teammates, so he was currently using characters from "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf."
The character representing Yuan Qingqing was Mei Yangyang.
However, although Mei Yangyang was on this map, she was very far from Duan Chen's position.
Not only far, but almost out of the map's boundary.
Duan Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Still, as long as she was on the map, he had a way to find her.
But what troubled him was that Yuan Qingqing was still on the map, even at the edge of it.
But the others were no longer on the map.
No, there was still Jun Ci.
Jun Ci was the closest to Duan Chen's position.
But...
Duan Chen looked somewhat speechless at Jun Ci's side.
On the map, beside Fei Yangyang, who represented Jun Ci, there were countless small green dots and countless small red dots.
Those small green dots represented harmless, safe, harvestable, non-aggressive life forms.
The meaning of the small red dots was the opposite.
Jun Ci was completely submerged in green and red.
And at this moment, perhaps because Yuan Qingqing had woken up, she had started moving today.
Most importantly, the direction she was moving was the opposite of Duan Chen's current position.
Duan Chen waited in place for only a short while before he watched helplessly as Mei Yangyang, representing Yuan Qingqing, left his map's range.
He couldn't help but touch his forehead in exasperation.
Wait...
Wasn't she looking at the map?
How did she just walk out like that?
He fell into self-doubt, or had he overestimated his teammates' intelligence?
With such an obvious map, such a clear opportunity to rendezvous, why did Yuan Qingqing leave?
No.
Thinking of this, Duan Chen suddenly remembered something.
The map he could see only showed Yuan Qingqing and Jun Ci, but the map Yuan Qingqing could see might not be the same.
In other words, Yuan Qingqing might have left with a purpose.
She was probably going to find other teammates.
Thinking this way...
Duan Chen couldn't help but quicken his pace, getting up from the ground.
He headed straight for Jun Ci's direction.
The reason Yuan Qingqing could ignore him, her captain and reliable bodyguard, and instead actively leave his line of sight was something other than Yuan Yuan being in trouble that Duan Chen could think of.
If lucky, there would be some red dots around Yuan Yuan. If unlucky, Yuan Yuan might be like Jun Ci.
No wonder Yuan Qingqing was so worried.
It seemed he could only save Jun Ci first, and then save others.
With this thought, Duan Chen wasn't as urgent anymore.
He believed in Jun Ci's strength and that he wouldn't die so easily.
If he had to save everyone, he might as well have formed a solo team. Why come here for a team competition? Was it just to bring him some burdens?
Therefore, Duan Chen didn't rush over particularly, but instead observed his immediate surroundings.
It had to be said that this area presented a sunken pattern.
He was in the center of this sunken area.
There were many trees and woods around, making it look somewhat eerie. Even the sun couldn't directly shine on the ground, only through layers of leaves, through gaps, casting light down.
It had to be said that Gu Wenshu's ability was very useful.
Duan Chen could detect the small green dots around him.
He first found a small green dot closest to him and walked over, only to find that it was a medicinal herb.
This was his first time using Gu Wenshu's ability, and he couldn't help but feel confused.
Could Wang Zihao's Gu Wenshu have this function?
If Wang Zihao knew, he would probably cry out in injustice.
His Gu Wenshu could indeed retrieve information, but since when could it retrieve such miscellaneous things?
This was something Duan Chen had developed himself, borrowing Wang Zihao's Gu Wenshu ability and further developing it.
After all, the spiritual power of the two was different, so the skills they could master were naturally different.
At this moment, Duan Chen didn't know yet.
He looked at the medicinal herbs on the ground, a satisfied smile appearing on his lips.
The outside world was not only very dangerous, but also relatively barren in terms of resources.
For example, medicinal herbs, some precious and rare ones, could only be found in secret realms and not in the outside world.
Even if they were found, one had to be careful about the toxicity of the herbs.
Because the outside world was dangerous and there were sea monsters, it was possible that some medicinal herbs had already been infected.
