It turns out it’s not a farming system.

Yang Tang could tell at a glance that Su Qi was in a low mood. He didn't understand what was going on and looked at Wang Yang from time to time.

Wang Yang was unaware of anything. He was immersed in the joy of returning. He wiped his comrade's hands and face, and tidied up the wood and rattan that Su Qi had piled on the ground. He didn't dare to touch the things on the table, for fear that he would break them with his clumsy hands.

Seeing Su Qi avoiding his gaze, Yang Tang suppressed the thought of going to the Gobi Desert again to inquire about the situation. He said to Su Qi, "I just asked about the location of a few people and will bring them back. Don't run around. It's relatively safe here."

Su Qi hummed a few times to indicate that he understood.

Yang Tang was a little worried and looked at Su Qi several times before leaving.

Su Qi forced a smile: "Director Yang, don't worry about me, I just suddenly thought of a question."

“Is this question important?”

Su Qi hesitated for a moment, "It's very important to me, but it may not be that important to others."

"If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. Leave it to time. Time will give you the answer." Yang Tang rarely said something full of literary flavor.

Su Qi raised his head and looked at Yang Tang, "Director Yang, who were you with before? There is a shoulder badge on the strange beast pig, I wonder whose it is?"

"I was with Old Ou before, and we went to find some materials and tried to make some medicine to help them survive for a few more days." Yang Tang replied, "He is with Ou Shanshan in the heart of Monkey Mountain, and the chief of the monkey tribe has given his permission."

"Why do we have to go to the heart of Monkey Mountain?" Su Qi was puzzled. In this place, it should be easier to survive if they stick together.

Yang Tang was silent for a while, then slowly spoke: "Old Ou's efforts in the past few years are far beyond our imagination. His body has collapsed. Before he died, his greatest wish was to help Ou Shanshan reach a higher level of cultivation."

"After Ou Shanshan led his team into the oasis, they were ambushed by some unidentified independent cultivators. He was protecting his comrades and was attacked in the vitals, and his life is in danger."

After hearing what Yang Tang said, Su Qi looked at Wang Yang in confusion. This squad leader Wang didn't even bother to ask his company commander how he felt. How could he be so heartless?

Somewhat unhappy.

Yang Tang also saw Su Qi's look and explained a few words for Wang Yang: "When we first arrived, Ou Shanshan was on the verge of death, and the team members around him were all seriously injured. Fortunately, Old Ou came in time and took out the secret skill that your brother gave him. An upgraded version of 'Flowing Light' directly brought Ou Shanshan back to the state when he first entered the jungle."

"You must be aware of the aftereffects of 'Liu Guang'. They have forgotten all of this. Old Ou wanted to pass on his cultivation to Ou Shanshan before he died. Before you found this place, they had just gone to the heart of Monkey Mountain."

Su Qi opened his mouth and said, "Let them come back. I can definitely cure Ou Shanshan and Principal Ou."

Yang Tang tightened the bandage around his waist and said, "Well, I'll go to Monkey Mountain and tell them both. Although Principal Ou is no longer the principal of Northeast Special School, his network of contacts is no less than that of Jincheng."

Su Qi understood that this was the sequelae left by Jiang Songhua beating those students from the Northeast Special School every day when they were studying in Jincheng.

Yang Tang hoped that he could establish good relations with the cultivation community in the Northeast, at least to avoid a situation where he was fighting with the Kyoto families.

Seeing that Su Qi had lost his former spirit and nodded obediently, Yang Tang was a little uncomfortable.

"You just said that that matter is very important to you. What is it? Can you tell me about it?" Yang Tang asked Su Qi.

Su Qi hesitated for a moment and sighed, "Forget it. We can't figure out anything. It's just a waste of time. Let's go back and study it with Minister Zhang and Director Qin. How many casualties were there in this Oasis operation?"

"The number of people is incomplete, so it's unclear for now. But there shouldn't be any casualties over in the Gobi Desert. After all, they couldn't win, so they just sent the people back."

Yang Tang paused, "The biggest danger comes from the flora and fauna of the oasis and... other practitioners."

Su Qi breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, I'll adjust my mood."

Watching Yang Tang disappear into the forest in a few breaths, Su Qi couldn't help but wonder: Xiaozhi, what role did you play? Or was I wrong, that wasn't Xiaozhi, but simply looked like Bai Tuanzi?

After arranging matters in the tent and instructing squad leader Wang not to go too close to the lake, Su Qi came to the Gobi Desert again.

……

Wang Yuenan was waiting for Su Qi. As soon as Su Qi appeared, Wang Yuenan came over and asked, "What's going on over there?"

"Not bad." Su Qi looked around, a little curious, "This place is much better than before. What are you doing?"

Near the center of the camp, a dozen or so colleagues were squatting on the ground in groups of three or four, surrounding a pile of small stones and gesturing from time to time.

"Practice mental strength. We can't let them stay here and wait to die. No matter how well they take care of their bodies, without consciousness they are just walking corpses." Wang Yuenan explained.

"I'll take two more people back. Yesterday, I took squad leader Wang back, and it was successful."

Wang Yuenan stopped Su Qi, "Have you ever thought that this is a trial to train our mental strength?"

Su Qi thought for a moment and asked, "But many people here only have a trace of true energy. How can they cultivate their spiritual power? People with a high level of cultivation can cultivate, but what about those who have just started the Three Talents?"

Wang Yuenan was silent. He had told Song Chen to stay a little longer to hone his mental strength because he knew that Song Chen would soon be able to reach the level of "Six Combinations". As a prospective master, he didn't care about this kind of training at all.

For those low-level practitioners who are not much stronger than ordinary people and have no true qi to protect their bodies, training is a torture.

“Take away those below the level of Three Talents. Give those above the level of Four Symbols a try,” Wang Yuenan suggested.

"You're talking as if we can take them all away." Su Qi complained, "There are nearly a hundred people, and we can't even find their scattered locations. How can we take them away?!"

"Take your time. Take whoever you find away." Wang Yuenan sighed. "It may be my turn to go out soon. You stay here for a while. Xu Xiaoying wants to find you. She started nagging yesterday."

The two were chatting when a cry of surprise suddenly came from outside the camp, "Chief, Chief, what's wrong with you?"

I saw a large group of practitioners surrounding a middle-aged man with a beard lying on the ground, shouting non-stop.

"Hurry up and ask the doctor from the Special Affairs Department to help me~"

After shouting twice, the bearded middle-aged man began to glow, then slowly faded and dissipated into the air.

As if it doesn't exist at all.

Wang Yuenan and Su Qi exchanged a glance and quickly pushed through the crowd, "Move aside and let the medical staff of the Special Affairs Department take a look."

Su Qi stretched out her hand to feel the residual energy in the air. She knew that there was a problem with the place where the bearded middle-aged man slept.

Su Qi turned around and asked the people around him, "Who was he with before he came here? Can you tell me his coordinates?"

Several people surrounding the bearded middle-aged man all looked at a middle-aged woman next to him.

The middle-aged woman lowered her head and said nothing.

Seeing this, Su Qi knew that they didn't want to tell him the location. It seemed that there were a lot of good things nearby.

She did not force it, and stood up, ready to go back with Wang Yuenan. There were still many people in the Special Affairs Office, so they had to prepare early, lest they be taken advantage of by strange beasts and plants while they were asleep.

This incident had little impact, and the commotion in the vicinity soon calmed down. Many people had disappeared silently before, but no one noticed.

Wang Yuenan looked at Su Qi, "Is this why you are in a hurry to get them out of the Gobi Desert?"

"Well, exercise is a good thing, but I hope that I can take the initiative to exercise in my own hands. I feel uneasy when I am forced to exercise."

"Then we should hurry up and let those who cannot be taken away stay here to learn about spiritual power."

Before leaving, Su Qi suddenly asked Wang Yuenan, "How did you train your mental strength? Director Yang said that he was fighting with someone, and he could leave if he won."

Wang Yuenan frowned, "Ah? I went to get surgery first, then encountered medical disturbances and hacked people. I stopped the disturbances and was able to leave. What about you?"

"Me? I was spinning in the vortex, and left when I woke up." Su Qi smiled bitterly, "It seems that this trial can change according to the characteristics of each person."

She was feeling very upset: Xiaozhi...
