Gu Qing Shan was cooking.
His movements were quick and efficient, so it didn't take long before the meal was ready.
Everyone supported Shroud up and carefully sat down under the tree.
Gu Qing Shan ladled a bowl of soup and gave it to Reneedol.
Reneedol took the bowl and personally fed Shroud the soup.
Epta used another healing spell, while Scarlet used several supportive spells on Shroud's body to aid his recovery.
After Shroud finished one bowl, he indicated that he didn't want to eat anything else.
Atley went to gather some dry grass, arranged it into a soft bed on the ground, and helped Shroud lie down.
Shroud closed his eyes and began to rest.
Seeing that, Gu Qing Shan nodded.
These young people are pure and kind, so they treat their companions very well.
"Come, we should eat something as well" Gu Qing Shan called out to everyone.
There were a few crude plates on the ground, but the food inside was still giving off a fragrant smell.
Everyone had been busy for an entire night, not to mention that so many things had happened at dawn. They had been in a dangerous situation for a very long time, so it was only after smelling the food that they realized how hungry they were.
"Our conditions are limited, so we'll have to make do" Gu Qing Shan said.
Everyone sat down on the ground, took their utensils, and began to eat.
Gu Qing Shan's cooking skills were naturally top-notch.
Everyone ate to their hearts' content, even Reneedol had a bowl of rice and two bowls of soup.
After all, she was only a young girl in her teens, after going through so many battles in a row, she was already at her limit.
After the meal.
Epta and Scarlet actively went to wash the utensils and clean up the mess.
Atley stood at the top of the tree, keeping watch.
When Reneedol saw Shroud again, she found that he had already fallen asleep.
"Rhode, come here, I have something to tell you" Reneedol said.
Gu Qing Shan walked over.
"What is it?" he asked.
Reneedol replied: "I want to hear your opinion on which direction we should go"
Gu Qing Shan said with a nervous expression: "That 'Red Wraith' might very well catch up to us, we should leave this wasteland as soon as possible"
Reneedol paused.
Red Wraith was already dead, killed by Mara Heavenly King.
There was no need to tell these youths about this.
But was he really going to look for that Heavenly King Mara?
Although Mara Heavenly King was stronger than Red Wraith, the Laws of the world had already been restored, so Shroud would eventually surpass Mara Heavenly King and become the strongest.
Then looking for Mara Heavenly King would be meaningless.
Reneedol pondered for a bit before replying: "I just went to check the traces in the wilderness. Red Wraith seems to have left this area"
Gu Qing Shan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good."
"When you were hunting before, where did you kill people from?" Reneedol asked.
Gu Qing Shan replied: "I'm not sure either, they seemed to have been running for their lives, happened to run into me, and wanted to eat me — — it seems like they haven't eaten for a long time"
Reneedol muttered: "Running … in other words, someone was chasing after them"
"Indeed" Gu Qing Shan confirmed.
"Shroud still hasn't recovered, so we shouldn't get into any more trouble" Reneedol said.
"Let's avoid going in the same direction as them, that way, we might be able to avoid the trouble behind those people" Gu Qing Shan said.
He recalled the route those people took, then pointed towards the Southwest direction and said: "This is the safest place, we'll head that way later"
As soon as he said that, Gu Qing Shan suddenly noticed that thin threads were emerging from his left arm and spreading in every direction.
"Alright, once Shroud wakes up, we'll be on our way" Reneedol said.
Gu Qing Shan nodded without changing her expression.
Reneedol turned around to take care of Shroud.
Gu Qing Shan stood still and silently sensed the meaning of these threads.
"An encirclement … but I can't see it …"
He released his inner sight without hesitation and scanned the entire wilderness.
He didn't discover anything.
But Gu Qing Shan sensed some sort of prying.
The one who came was quite brilliant, able to hide from my inner sight's detection.
Forget it.
I'm Rhode right now, so I won't be able to notice such a thing.
— — -I can't expose myself.
With that in mind, Gu Qing Shan went to clean up the table with Epta and Scarlet.
After finishing these things, everyone sat under the tree and began to take a nap.
The World Valley had been destroyed, and after days of continuous fighting, everyone was both mentally and physically exhausted.
No one could tell what would happen in the future, so they had to take this opportunity to replenish their stamina.
A mere 15 minutes later.
Atley's voice suddenly resounded from the top of the tree:
"Be careful, everyone, I can sense something amiss"
Reneedol opened her eyes tiredly, flew up to the top of the tree, and asked: "What's the situation?"
Gu Qing Shan looked up with an attentive expression.
— — his inner sight still couldn't sense anything, but Atley could.
On top of the tree, Atley hesitantly said: "I can sense something amiss with the wind around us, they're coming and going at random"
Reneedol sensed her surroundings, then turned to Atley.
Her expression was a bit strange.
"Why don't I sense anything amiss with the wind?" Reneedol asked.
Atley opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Below the tree, Gu Qing Shan smiled:
"Atley, the Law of Wind has accepted you, congratulations!"
Atley was surprised, then overjoyed.
"Are you sure?" he worriedly asked.
Shroud's voice resounded:
"Indeed, you need to prepare yourself. Not too long from now, an Overlord might bring you into the World of Laws and form a covenant with you"
— — sensing that something had happened, he had also woken up.
Gu Qing Shan told everyone: "If there's a situation, let's all gather here, we'll surround Shroud"
Reneedol and Atley jumped down from the tree, Epta and Scarlet also gathered around them.
Gu Qing Shan said: "Reneedol is currently using Shroud's power, so she's currently the strongest, so if anything happens, she'll be the first to attack; I'll support her and wait for the right moment. Atley and Epta, protect Shroud, Scarlet, make sure to reinforce Reneedol and myself"
Everyone nodded.
"What if a lot of people come?" Atley anxiously asked.
"Do you think there'll be a lot of people?" Gu Qing Shan immediately asked in return.
"Indeed, the wind doesn't seem to be able to reach us very well, so there should be a large number of people" Atley replied.
"Then we can't attack by ourselves. Everyone needs to protect Shroud, as soon as a battle breaks out, Reneedol and I will open a path — — - they should be coming from the North, so we'll break through from the South" Gu Qing Shan said.
Everyone nodded again.
Reneedol suddenly realized something and glanced at Gu Qing Shan.
Rhode.
— — -he had arranged everything for everyone in an extremely short amount of time, and none of them even realized that they were following his arrangements.
The Law of Death has never favored living beings, but he was chosen by the Overlord, so there must be a reason behind it.
While Reneedol was thinking, Rhode's expression suddenly turned serious and gestured for everyone to stay alert.
Everyone shivered.
The air around them became silent, the atmosphere gradually becoming oppressive.
Although they couldn't see anything, everyone could sense that something was amiss.
Patches of grass were scattered all over the ground, as if someone was stepping on them.
There seemed to be a group of invisible things passing by the teenagers' temporary campsite.
"Don't say anything, their target doesn't seem to be us" Gu Qing Shan muttered.
Everyone remained silent.
After a while.
Those entities seemed to be about to completely leave the camp.
Suddenly, a voice called out: "Boss, that chick over there really isn't a bad choice, should we bring her with us?"
Another voice asked: "Which one?"
"That chick in white."
Gu Qing Shan suddenly felt tense.
Reneedol was wearing a white dress.
She was the most beautiful woman in the world, even the Grand Elder of the World Valley couldn't resist her charm.
"Don't act, let's wait and see" Gu Qing Shan quickly said.
The group was filled with fear as they silently watched those invisible figures move forward.
After a few moments, the voice called out again:
「 She really is, but we can't bring her with us 」
Without waiting for the group to calm down, the voice continued: 「 Capture her, we'll throw her away in the afternoon 」
"Yes, Boss," another voice answered immediately.
This time, the group couldn't hold themselves back anymore.
"So you want to die" Reneedol coldly scoffed.
Her body gave off a faint glow, ready to summon a Law Behemoth at any moment.
Someone exclaimed in shock.
Someone said: "That's someone from the World Valley"
The voice that gave the order from before suddenly raised its voice and shouted: 「 There are still survivors of the World Valley! Everyone, capture them! 」
