"Euphemia Athena?"
Ling Jiu cocked an eyebrow and could not help but look her up and down. But with the Venom Suit in the way, he could not see what she looked like.
"I heard that you are the former camp belle? What are you doing here? Is it because you have been robbed of the camp belle title that you are resentful and want revenge? "
"Hahaha... What camp belle? It's just a bunch of boring words from a bunch of losers in the training camp. I, Euphemia, have never taken it to heart."
Euphemia giggled. "However, I did come to find her!"
As soon as her voice trailed off, she suddenly appeared in front of Bai Ya like a ghost and said faintly, "I hope you stay away from Arthur."
"Who is Arthur?"
Ling Jiu asked in confusion. "We have just arrived and don't know much about the veteran trainees of the matriculation camp."
"Arthur Austin, ranked 28th on the scoreboard," Euphemia said.
"I thought you were talking about someone awesome. I didn't expect him to be ranked 28th." Ling Jiu curled his lips in disapproval.
"Newbie, you don't understand."
Euphemia shook her head. "Arthur came to the matriculation camp with me last December. It only took him half a year to reach the 28th place on the scoreboard. This is a very terrifying result."
"Last December..."
Ling Jiu was instantly silent. 28th place was indeed not high, but if the time limit of just half a year in the matriculation camp was taken into account, it was very exaggerated.
If Arthur Austin was given a few more years, how high could he climb?
Ling Jiu remembered a big name in the forum had said that those who could enter the top 100 in the scoreboard in their first year were definitely true geniuses. Unlike those old foxes who climbed to the top by relying on time, they were much stronger in both potential and talent.
In a word:
The matriculation camp's scoreboard was after all different from the training camp's leaderboard. This was a leaderboard that all trainees competed for.
Those at the top of the ranking were not necessarily more talented or stronger than those at the bottom. There was a time factor.
"As long as Arthur has time, he will climb to the top of the scoreboard sooner or later."
Euphemia continued, "I love Arthur very much. I will not quarrel with him, let alone cause trouble. All I can do is keep the targets he is interested in away from him. That's all. "
"What does that have to do with me?"
Bai Ya frowned.
"Of course it's related. Ever since you came, Arthur became restless again. He was attracted by your beauty and developed a strong interest in you!"
"And then?"
Bai Ya looked calm.
"I hope you can stay away from him!"
Euphemia said calmly, "I won't let off any woman who dares to approach Arthur!"
"You should know that besides destroying the Arcana Tree, fighting is not forbidden in the matriculation camp. Even if I kill you, the matriculation camp will not interfere."
"Are you threatening me?"
Bai Ya frowned slightly.
"This is not a threat, but advice!"
Euphemia was still smiling. "For the sake of your own safety, please stay away from Arthur. Even if he's chasing you, it's just a passing interest!"
"That's all I have to say. Take care!"
After saying that, Euphemia disappeared and left.
"You've been threatened!"
Ling Jiu said slowly but found that Bai Ya did not respond. He looked at her in confusion, only to find that the woman was planting trees with a shovel.
"Aren't you angry at being threatened?" Ling Jiu asked, puzzled.
"Why should I be angry?"
Bai Ya did not even raise her head.
"..."
"Forget I said anything!"
Afterward, the two continued to plant trees.
Ling Jiu continued to plant Arcana Trees with super high efficiency. In just one afternoon, he had planted more than a thousand Arcana Trees.
A large forest had taken shape.
Looking at Bai Ya, she had barely planted more than forty trees. Although the ground of Mars looked like it was all yellow sand, there were hard stones under the sand layer.
Digging was very difficult!
Only an Arcanist like Bai Ya could use her Arcana if she could not dig anymore. If it were an ordinary person, planting ten trees in one afternoon would be difficult.
Although her efficiency was completely crushed by Ling Jiu, Bai Ya did not seem to show any anxiety or discouragement. She was calm from beginning to end.
This made Ling Jiu secretly admire her. This woman was too calm, and her temperament was different from all the women he had met before. Ling Jiu even wondered if there was anything in this world that could move her.
"Take a break, Bai Ya!"
Ling Jiu released the airship.
"Okay!"
Bai Ya did not refuse this time and took the initiative to enter Ling Jiu's airship.
Ling Jiu also walked in. As the hatch closed, the ventilation system began to produce oxygen. After a while, the cabin was filled with air.
Ling Jiu took off the Venom Suit and let out a long breath. "What do you want to eat? Instant noodles? Rice? Noodles? Or something else? "
"Do you have Rice Noodle Roll?"
Bai Ya asked softly. After a busy afternoon, she seemed to be sweating a little. Her hair stuck to her forehead, and she looked like she had just finished a workout.
"Rice Noodle Roll?"
Ling Jiu shook his head. "Sorry, I don't like that thing, so I didn't prepare it."
"That's not necessary."
Bai Ya shook her head. Qiyin
"Drink some of this."
Ling Jiu took out a cup of milk tea from the refrigerator and then boiled a pot of water. "I will send you back to the matriculation camp later. I will guard here at night."
Bai Ya did not rush to answer. Instead, she asked, "How long will it take to send me back?"
"A few seconds."
Ling Jiu smiled. "I have left a dimensional mark in the matriculation camp. Through the dimensional mark, I can open a dimensional passage and send you back to the matriculation camp at any time."
"Of course. I have also left a dimensional mark here. The next time I come here, it is just a matter of a thought. "
"Dimensional Arcana is really convenient."
Bai Ya sighed.
"So for me, it doesn't matter if the forest is far away. I can come here with just a thought, and it is enough to deal with any accidents."
While Ling Jiu was talking, the water boiled. Ling Jiu opened a bucket of instant noodles, soaked it in the boiling water, and made milk tea for Bai Ya.
Not long after the instant noodles were soaked, Ling Jiu took the instant noodles and ate them. Bai Ya frowned slightly when she saw this. "Isn't it hot?"
"No, I have thick skin."
Ling Jiu said with a smile as he chewed in big mouthfuls.
"Let me tell you, I like instant noodles that have just been soaked in water. They are hard and very tasty. If you soak them for a long time, they will soften and not taste good."
"…"
Bai Ya was speechless.
Slurp, slurp...
A bucket of instant noodles went down his stomach in a moment.
"Awesome!"
Ling Jiu wiped his mouth and burped contentedly. Bai Ya glared at Ling Jiu and shifted her seat in disgust.
"I'm done. It's time to train."
Ling Jiu threw the napkin he used to wipe his mouth into the trash can and looked at Bai Ya. "When are you going back?"
"After drinking the milk tea."
Seeing that Ling Jiu was asking her to leave so quickly, Bai Ya was quite upset. Do you really want me to go? Are you a man or not?
Bam, bam, bam...
The atmosphere fell into a brief silence. At this moment, there was a sudden sound of wind and sand outside. Through the airship's floor-to-ceiling windows, they could clearly see the sky gradually darkening.
A large amount of sand and dust rose into the sky, forming an overwhelming sandstorm that blocked out the sky and the sun.
"It's a sandstorm!"
Bai Ya suddenly got up and asked anxiously. "Will our trees be okay?"
"Don't worry, they will be fine."
Ling Jiu waved his hand calmly. "Although Mars has a large-scale sandstorm that can sweep across the entire planet, a large scale does not mean that it is powerful."
The atmospheric density on the surface of Mars is only one percent of Earth's, so the power of the sandstorm is very weak. Don't be fooled by the movies.
It's impossible to uproot the small trees we planted in the sand with this kind of small sandstorm outside. "
"Is that so?"
Bai Ya was skeptical. "But I heard that ten years ago, Earth detonated thousands of nuclear bombs on Mars, releasing a large amount of water vapor and carbon dioxide frozen in the north and south poles of Mars. Now the Martian atmosphere is not so thin..."
"F * ck! Why didn't you say so earlier? "
Ling Jiu jumped up and appeared outside the airship in a flash. Sure enough, he felt a strong sandstorm.
A large amount of sand and stones were blown up and hit him, causing him pain. He then looked at the small trees planted on the ground, which were swaying left and right.
"F * ck!"
Ling Jiu was furious. He instantly released his Arcana Field, covering a radius of a kilometer. "Dimensional Shackle!"
Vroom!
The space within a kilometer radius was instantly shackled. The flying sand, the stones, and the raging sandstorm stopped.
"Hide!"
Ling Jiu uttered another word. The raging sandstorm suddenly disappeared, and the covered sky became clear again as light shone down.
This happened a few times in a row. The raging sandstorm on this plain completely disappeared, and everything returned to its original state.
"It's finally done!"
Ling Jiu exhaled. "Fortunately, I have become a Level 7 Arcanist, and the range of my Arcana Field has expanded to a radius of one kilometer. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome."
Ling Jiu then looked at the small trees planted in the afternoon. Because he had acted in time, most of the small trees were intact. Only a few were uprooted, but it was not a big deal.
"Thank you!"
Bai Ya also appeared outside and sincerely thanked Ling Jiu. Ling Jiu had just protected the trees she had painstakingly planted this afternoon.
"You're welcome!"
Ling Jiu waved his hand and looked at the vast Ares Plain.
"The sandstorm on Mars is more powerful than I thought. If it happens a few more times, it will be very troublesome."
"What are you going to do?"
Bai Ya frowned.
"Create a sandstorm barrier around the forest."
A light flashed in Ling Jiu's eyes. "Cover the forest so that even if there is another sandstorm, it will not affect the planted saplings."
"The sandstorm barrier is a good idea, but have you ever thought that it will also restrict us from planting trees?" Bai Ya put forward a different opinion.
"Then cover a large enough area."
That night, Bai Ya returned to the matriculation camp, and Ling Jiu worked overnight.
When dawn came again, a towering wall of about a hundred meters high and covering a radius of a hundred miles appeared on the Ares Plain.
