If it was someone else, Lin Huang would not bother about it as the Coalition government would send someone to save them after being tortured by the Undying Bloodoaks for two days.
However, it was Li Lang who was fighting the Undying Bloodoaks not far away. Lin Huang could not just sit back and watch.
Li Lang's ankles were entangled by an Undying Bloodoak. He swung his sword in an attempt to cut off the branches that were entangling him. However, the Undying Bloodoaks around him could sense his Life Power. Their branches were like black snakes, attacking his arm.
He kept swinging the saber in his hand. Every time he slashed, he would cut off the attacking branches. However, those branches would immediately regrow, as if they had endless vitality. Although Li Lang had extraordinary abilities, he was in a difficult situation.
"Do you know that idiot over there?" Yi Yeyu heard Lin Huang mumbling and followed his line of sight. She saw Li Lang who was fighting the Undying Bloodoaks and could not help but ask.
"I guess so …" Lin Huang nodded helplessly.
Both of them appeared next to Li Lang in a flash. Lin Huang swung his sword and the tree branches that were entangling Li Lang's legs broke immediately. He managed to escape but the Undying Bloodoaks were still chasing after him with their branches. His Life Power was like a delicious barbecued meat that attracted countless carnivores to get closer to him.
"Keep your Life Power back into your body!" Lin Huang frowned and shouted at Li Lang.
Li Lang was stunned when he heard Lin Huang's voice. At that moment, one of his wrists was entangled again. Just when he was about to use his Life Power to attack again, Yi Yeyu swung her sword and helped him out.
"Didn't you hear me? Keep your Life Power back into your body! "Yi Yeyu shouted.
Although Li Lang had no idea why he had to do that, he kept his Life Power back into his body after hearing what both of them said.
A few of the black tree branches that were attacking him stopped less than 20 centimeters away from him after his Life Power dissipated. Then, they retreated.
Li Lang then understood why Lin Huang asked him to do that.
"These strange trees … are here for my Life Power?"
"This is the Undying Bloodlust. It can only sense things with Life Power." Lin Huang nodded helplessly. "You guys should really cram on the knowledge in the monster guide."
"Remember not to use your movement skill later." Yi Yeyu rolled her eyes at him.
"This beauty is …" Li Lang didn't know how he had provoked her.
"A friend." Lin Huang knew that Yi Yeyu was angry because Li Lang had proven that not reading monster encyclopedias was a bad thing. She was the same as Li Lang, who did not read monster encyclopedias.
"Oh, hello, my name is Li Lang." Li Lang introduced himself.
"Yi Yeyu." "Can we go now?" Yi Yeyu told Lin Huang her name and turned her head to look at Lin Huang.
"Mm, let's go." Only then did Lin Huang's team of three rush forward to catch up with the others.
Many of the people who were entangled by the Undying Bloodlust saw how Lin Huang and the rest handled the situation and followed suit. They withdrew their Life Power and used their physical attacks to break the entanglement of the branches, escaping from the Undying Bloodlust.
Lin Huang and the rest did not care about what happened after that.
As the three of them ran, they overtook many of the people who were running in front of them. Most of them were entangled by the Undying Bloodlust and only a few of them were able to continue running.
Many of them were surprised that Lin Huang and the rest were ignored by the Undying Bloodlust.
"That's shameless. Did the three of them apply monster repellent on their bodies?" Someone guessed.
But not long after, a few more people caught up with them in the same way, which made some people start to feel suspicious.
"Why didn't they use their movement skill?"
"Yeah, they don't look like they've exhausted their Life Power …"
"They didn't use their movement skill and were ignored by the strange trees. Could it be that the monsters are attacking us because of their Life Power?" Someone finally came to a conclusion.
Soon, some of them tried to withdraw their Life Power into their bodies. The result was obvious. Since they could not sense any fluctuation of Life Power, the Undying Bloodlust gave up on the target in front of them.
The people who got rid of the Undying Bloodlust began to imitate Lin Huang and the rest. They stopped using their movement skill and started running.
As more and more people ran without using their Life Power, some of the slow-witted ones began to figure out a way to deal with it. After all, those who participated in the training were elites from different organizations. None of them were stupid.
In reality, apart from Lin Huang who came alone, most of the people had partners and organization members that they were familiar with during the training. Naturally, they did not want their companions to be trapped in the first round. Soon, the secret of the forest was spread.
After a night of struggle, although they had exhausted a lot of their Life Power, most of them managed to follow Si Kongjian and leave the forest when the sun rose. Only a few of them were unlucky enough to be captured by the Undying Bloodlust and could not escape.
As soon as the Undying Bloodlust had captured its prey, it would pierce its branches into its prey's body and begin to extract its Life Power. Under such circumstances, it was useless to withdraw their Life Power into their bodies. As soon as the branches pierced their bodies, they would be able to sense the existence of Life Power in their prey's body. It was no longer an external feeling.
The reason why some of them did not rescue their companions was that the Undying Bloodlust had injected poison into their bodies. They would not be able to wake up within a short period of time. Even if they were rescued, they would not be able to participate in the subsequent training. It was better to leave them to the Coalition government's staff.
Si Kongjian realized that the secret of the forest had been exposed when the number of people behind him increased. However, he could not help but frown when he saw the number of people behind him when he left the forest the next morning.
His expression was captured by Lin Huang's Boundless Vision. He knew that the number of people who were eliminated tonight was far less than what the squinty-eyed guy had expected.
"There are so many people left. I think the squinty-eyed guy will increase the difficulty of the training on the last day …" Lin Huang knew that Si Kongjian would not just let it go like that.
"I think it's going to be a tough day for us." Yi Yeyu realized that as well.
"Why do you say that?" Li Lang was puzzled.
"I've been an examiner before. The elimination rate is too low. If he allows so many of us to pass the first round of training, the examiner will be embarrassed. Therefore, he will definitely increase the difficulty on the last day, "Yi Yeyu said confidently.
