Chapter 13 Holding her hand
Regardless of why the two people suddenly changed their minds, now that the opportunity was in front of them, Gao Xingfan left quickly.
After running for a long time, he finally breathed a sigh of relief when he could no longer see the two people.
He opened his brain and took a look. Because he went to pick cogongrass flowers, he was further away from his team. It seemed that it would take more time to go back.
Probably because of his previous record of being caught by Lu Yanxu, Gao Xingfan was much more cautious this time. He stopped walking around and chose to join the team directly.
The crimson sunset has already hung on the branches, and the towering woods have darkened, with only the treetops reflecting orange light.
The further we walked, the darker the sky became.
The forest was so quiet that only the chirping of insects and birds could be heard, as well as the sound of footsteps stepping on the leaves.
Gao Xingfan only felt that he was really unlucky. He was obviously vigilant enough, but he still fell into the trap.
When he stepped into a depression, his mental energy became uncontrollably active and violent.
He looked around cautiously and stepped back, but no matter how he retreated, the disturbing restlessness followed him.
Lu Yanxu drove Gao Xingfan away, which Pei Zhiyi expected. After all, he said he wanted to train her mental power, so it would be difficult to hide her mental power.
So by getting rid of him, you can maximize your benefits.
But now that Gao Xingfan was gone, neither of them were talkative people, so everything fell silent.
It was Lu Yanxu who took the initiative to break the ice: "Let's go and find a place to rest."
This place can only be used as a resting place, not as a place to rest tonight.
The space is vast, and strange animals and people may be attracted from all directions.
In terms of survival ability in the wild, even ten Pei Zhiyi might not be as good as Lu Yanxu. She trusted his judgment and followed him honestly.
"Try again and attack me with your mental power." Lu Yanxu said to Pei Zhiyi as he walked away.
Pei Zhiyi mobilized his mental power to wrap up Lu Yanxu like before, but this time Lu Yanxu's mental power showed great aggression. Several times in a row, Pei Zhiyi was unable to counterattack him like before.
A thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her breathing was slightly rapid.
Lu Yanxu whispered: "Okay, take it back."
Pei Zhiyi slowly withdrew his mental power and stared at Lu Yanxu with his obsidian eyes: "Why can't it work?"
It was obviously easy to do it just now, but now it is very difficult and even impossible.
Lu Yanxu's hand pulled up the vine and let Pei Zhiyi pass through, "I never thought of guarding you mentally before."
Even though he was very calculating, he never thought that an Omega could attack him with mental power. He was caught off guard and was directly suppressed by Pei Zhiyi.
But this time, he mobilized his mental power to be on guard, so Pei Zhiyi's attack this time was not as effective as before.
"No one will set up defenses for you. If the S-class Alpha is not on guard, it will be suppressed by you. But if it is on guard, your mental power will not be able to break through my defense line for the time being."
This is normal, after all, even if Pei Zhiyi's mental power has changed from C level to A level, it is still lower than his.
Neither of them knew that Pei Zhiyi's mental power was slowly growing without the knowledge of either of them. However, the growth of his mental power was as small as a hair and was too small to be ignored.
After Pei Zhiyi passed through the vines, Lu Yanxu walked in front of her again.
The sky had completely darkened, the dense leaves blocked the moonlight, the woods were dark and eerie, and the sound of running water coming from nowhere added to the mystery.
She tried to keep up with Lu Yanxu, but when he stopped, she almost hit his back. "What's wrong?"
Lu Yanxu turned sideways and gently held her wrist with his fingers, "Don't get lost."
The strength of the grip was not strong, and Pei Zhiyi could shake it off with just a wave of his hand.
Although Lu Yanxu's words were a little cold, they really sounded like he cared. Pei Zhiyi was not an ungrateful person, so he said nothing and was led away by him.
The darkness only trapped people's sight. To be precise, it only trapped Pei Zhiyi's sight.
She was not used to walking in the dark woods on such a day, so she was extremely careful.
"Try it, use your mental power to explore." Even if he held Pei Zhiyi's wrist, Lu Yanxu did not forget to tell Pei Zhiyi what he should do.
It only affects the eyesight, but this part can be made up through mental power.
Just like Lu Yanxu, walking forward now, he uses not only his eyes but also his mental power.
It's just that his body is much stronger than Pei Zhiyi, and even the current darkness has minimal impact on him.

Pei Zhiyi tried as Lu Yan said, and her mental power stretched outward like a tentacle. Soon, she could clearly sense the area of nearly one meter with her as a dot.
The corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously. There was nothing more reassuring than having the power that she personally controlled.
"I can see clearly." Her eyes unconsciously fell on Lu Yanxu's big hand holding hers. From this, could she let go?
But Lu Yanxu didn't seem to realize this at all. He pulled her to a cave and released his mental strength again. After a while, he let go of Pei Zhiyi's hand: "Wait here for me."
This purely natural cave has no traces of animals living in it and is suitable for treating people.
It should be a cave abandoned by some kind of animal. There is still some feces left in it, but it has dried, proving that no living thing has stayed in this place for a long time.
Pei Zhiyi sat on the stone at the entrance of the cave and talked with Lu Yan mentally.
Lu Yanxu naturally felt that she was like a young animal, somewhat dependent on him.
Now he is sitting obediently at the entrance of the cave, watching, which makes people feel soft-hearted.
He withdrew his gaze and let her follow her mentally. He picked up some dry branches nearby and quickly returned to the cave.
Pei Zhiyi stood up and reached out to take the branch from Lu Yanxu's hand. Lu Yanxu said in a deep voice, "No need."
Soon, a fire ignited in the darkness, and the orange-yellow light illuminated the faces of the two people.
"Lu Yanxu." Pei Zhiyi's soft voice sounded, "Why haven't they come for so long?"
Pei Zhiyi thought that everyone would come today, but now he has not seen anyone else.
Lu Yanxu took out the can from the supply box and placed it next to the fire. After it was warmed, he handed it to Pei Zhiyi: "If you are eliminated, the remaining people will automatically assume that the team is successful."
For people like Gao Xingfan who was ordered by him not to leave, if he didn't return to the team within three days, he would be eliminated by default.
But neither Pei Zhiyi nor Lu Yanxu felt that the other people could be eliminated.
Pei Zhiyi held the hot can and ate it in small bites while listening to him.
"Everyone should be here by tomorrow morning."
