The rain didn't stop until early in the morning, and the forest after the rain was even more bleak. The dead leaves were knocked down by the rain, and they fell into the wet soil with a kind of embarrassing beauty.Qiao Xi walked around the entrance of the cave for a while, and he was relieved that the temperature did not drop too much due to the rain.

Go back to the cave to light up the fire and prepare hot milk, which can be eaten with biscuits for breakfast.The cave is very quiet, and we are not in a hurry to start today, so we didn’t wake everyone up.Thain held the last vigil yesterday, fearing that he would not get enough sleep, so after Qiao Xi woke up, he asked him to take a nap to refresh himself, after all, today was another day of physical activity.

He Tian got up too, and sat beside Qiao Xi to watch him warm up the milk.

"If this place is not under the jurisdiction of the base, it would be quite suitable for living, and it is quiet enough." Qiao Xi smiled.After the weather turned cold, most of the birds flew to warmer places, and the morning without bird calls was even more serene.

He Tian looked at him and said, "It's fine to live here. If you want to find a quiet place for vacation, I can take you there."

Qiao Xi chuckled, "This is not a matter of thought at all."

"The point is that the place is quiet, isn't it?" He Tian asked.

Qiao Xi thought about it, and it seemed that she was right.

The milk was ready soon. Qiao Xi poured the milk into the cups of the two of them, then took out the compressed biscuits and soaked them in the milk.Compressed biscuits are hard, and your teeth will suffer if you don't eat them like this.But even so, it is not as crisp as ordinary biscuits.

"Sleep in the open like this, you have to have a good meal when you go back." Qiao Xi said.

"What do you want to eat?" He Tian asked.

"I didn't think about it, but it's definitely not this kind of monotonous food." With such an environment, he couldn't be picky, and he had nothing to be picky about.But when you go back, there are plenty of ingredients, so you can always choose.

He Tian smiled and said: "This can change your problem of picky eaters."

"Fortunately, the food prepared by the base this time is not bad, otherwise you would have to hunt wild game to eat." Qiao Xi said while biting a tasteless biscuit.

"Do you know which wild game is edible?" He Tian asked.

Qiao Xi smiled, and said very firmly: "I don't know, but Elmo definitely knows."

"Yes." He Tian also agreed with him.

The familiar howling sound came, Qiao Xi smiled slightly, got up and went to Elmo's tent to take the cub out.Elmo hadn't woken up yet, and the cub seemed to have just woken up. The little red eyes were still sleepy, probably hungry, and then started calling again.

Holding the cub to the fire, the morning breeze caresses the cub's soft fur. This temperature is not cold for it. Tiger-toothed beast is extremely cold-resistant, but it doesn't like heat.

Pour some warmed milk into a small bowl for cubs, and the cubs immediately leaned over and started to lick, very cute.

"Do you want to raise it?" Seeing that Qiao Xi was very gentle with this little thing, He Tian asked.

Qiao Xi shook her head, "No, I don't know how to keep pets, I just think it's fun."

At first, he really wanted to raise the cub with Rong Chun, but then he thought about giving it to Elmo. After all, if Rong Chun went out with the tiger-toothed beast, it would be too conspicuous, so it was not a wise choice.

"En." Hearing what Qiao Xi said, He Tian didn't take this little thing to heart anymore.

After a while, everyone got up and washed one after another. After breakfast, they began to pack their things and prepare to go.

Just as everyone was packing up, He Tian's communicator received a message from the military department.This communicator is provided by the military, and it is the only equipment that can receive signals in this forest.

After reading the news, He Tian raised his head and said to several people: "Group F has retired."

"Because of the heavy rain yesterday?" Thain guessed.

"It's possible." He Tian didn't know the specific reason, but there was almost only one reason.

"We have to be careful, today's road may be more difficult." Thain said.

"Well, we'll set off after we pack up our things," Thain said.

After packing up the luggage, Qiao Xi put out the fire, Elmo carried the cub on his back, and the group proceeded to the next location.

The few people were not walking fast. The mountain road was slippery after the rain, and many places were covered with mud. Fortunately, they were wearing waterproof military boots. Although they looked embarrassed, it was not hard work.

At noon, several people arrived in front of a clear stream, the location of the fourth picture was not far from here, and He Tian was going to rest after getting the picture.The stream is not deep, but very fast. It is a good place to wash military boots.Opposite the stream is a valley, and walking through the valley is where the drawing is.This time, Thain took Elmo to the front, and He Tian and Qiao Xi were the last team.

After the first four people reached the opposite bank, He Tian led Qiao Xi across the stream slowly, and the stones in the water were extremely slippery.When the two were about to reach the opposite bank, the tiger-toothed beast suddenly howled. Unlike when it was hungry, this time there seemed to be more hoarseness in the sound.

Then I heard the sound of fine stones rolling down. In less than three seconds, the stones on both sides of the valley, mixed with sand, slid down the mountain at an extremely fast speed, and the huge stones followed. Smash it down.

"Landslide!" Sion yelled.

"Watch out!" Yancey yelled in panic.

At this time, a huge boulder was falling to the ground, facing He Tian and Qiao Xi at an extremely fast speed.

It was too late to recruit the mecha, He Tian threw Qiao Xi directly, and rolled to one side, dodging the boulder.At first, they thought they could breathe a sigh of relief, but another huge boulder that fell straight down was hitting their direction, making it impossible for them to avoid it.

He Tian protected Qiao Xi under her body, and Qiao Xi's eyes widened, feeling that everything in front of her seemed to slow down.If the boulder fell down, He Tian would definitely die, but he still had a chance of life.On his left is the stone that fell before, and on his right is the slope pushed up by the gravel. They are caught in the middle, and the boulder is so large that it is difficult to avoid it.He could feel the strength of He Tian hugging him, like the last hug before destruction.

Qiao Xi's eye sockets suddenly felt sore, and she didn't care so much, so she activated her supernatural power.He knew that only his abilities could protect them now, and he... didn't want He Tian to die for him.

Just when the golden supernatural light was about to explode, a stream of water rose up, forming waves rising in the air, and a thick layer of ice quickly formed under the boulder, resisting the boulder less than two meters away from the two of them.

"Go!" cried Elmo.

Almost out of an instinctive outburst, He Tian and Qiao Xi rolled out from the pile of rubble together with all their strength. He Tian got up almost instantly, pulled Qiao Xi and ran out with a bow, out of the range of the boulder.The ice layer was no match for the weight and area of ​​the boulder, and was crushed under the boulder.

Elmo almost sat down on the ground, but luckily Thain helped him up.Elmo has never been so nervous before. Fortunately, nothing went wrong. Although the ice is not hard enough, he can rest assured that the president and Qiao Xi can escape.

Out of danger, He Tian immediately asked Qiao Xi, "Are you injured?"

Qiao Xi shook her head, stretched out her arms and hugged He Tian, ​​and whispered in his ear, "Do you know how dangerous it was just now?!" He never thought that He Tian would protect him regardless of his life and give his own life to him. In the hands of another person, Qiao Xi thought she couldn't do it, but she was very moved in her heart.

He Tian stroked Qiao Xi's messy hair, and said in a low voice, "I'm fine, don't worry."

Qiao Xi didn't know what was wrong with him. If it was someone else, he should be more grateful than moved, but to He Tian, ​​he was more moved.

"No one is worth your life to protect." Qiao Xi said softly, this is his point of view, if He Tian thinks the same as him, he will feel better.

He Tian kissed Qiao Xi's ear, but didn't speak.

The landslide had stopped, He Tian and Qiao Xi were fine, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and walked over on the rocks.

"Are you hurt?" Yancey asked nervously.

Qiao Xi let go of He Tian, ​​and didn't feel any embarrassment. She looked at her and He Tian's hands, and she was fine. He Tian had a little scratch on the back of his hand, which was not serious.

"It's okay, I'll give He Tian some medicine later." Qiao Xi said, looking at Elmo, "Thank you, thanks to having you here."

If Elmo hadn't been one step ahead of him, his abilities would definitely be used, and he would be unable to hide anything by then.

Elmo squinted his eyes and smiled, "It's nothing, as long as you are fine."

Thain hugged Elmo's shoulders and said, "Thank you for saving my brother and Qiao Xi." He was already preparing to recruit Jinlin just now, but he knew very well that there was not enough time.

"It should. Besides, Qiao Xi is also my friend." Elmo said.For him, it was an instinct, but it was a bit tired when it broke out suddenly.

It's safe here for the time being, a few people retreated to a place not covered by gravel, Qiao Xi helped He Tian treat the wound, and the others prepared to continue after lunch.It was too thrilling just now, and everyone needs to calm down.Fortunately, the road in the valley was not blocked, which did not prevent them from continuing to move forward.

After carefully cleaning the wound and applying another layer of medicine, Qiao Xi said: "You should use your ointment when you go back, it will heal faster."

"Yeah." He Tian didn't care about this kind of minor injury.

Qiao Xi helped him avoid the wound and washed his hands, then dug out the food and the two of them settled for lunch together.

Lunch seemed a little silent, but everyone was fine, which still made people feel relieved.

After eating, Qiao Xi drank two sips of water and stood up to move around.He was hurt by the stone just now, probably Yu Qing.But there is no way but to endure.Compared to this, what he couldn't bear even more was this dirty military uniform.Fortunately, there are changing and washing bags in the bag, just change a set at night.

The sun broke through the clouds and hit the ground with a little warmth.Qiao Xi raised his head, wanting to see the rare sunlight, but before seeing the blue sky, a dark blue stone caught his attention.The stone is located on the exposed mountain body of the landslide, near the top.As soon as the sun shines, the stone has a layer of gold and silver luster.

"He Tian, ​​come here." Qiao Xi called him.

He Tian put down the water and walked over, "What's wrong?"

"Look." Qiao Xi pointed to the stone and said, "That's Nebula Mine, which is very rare and very useful to you."

"What's the use?" He Tian was puzzled.

"The nebula mine is extremely strong, very suitable for making weapons." He saw that the assistant in the laboratory disassembled this thing, but only a little bit, and used it as a self-defense dagger.

He Tian was also a little surprised, he didn't expect Qiao Xi to discover this in the wilderness.

"Dig it out and we'll take it back to make weapons," Qiao Xi said.It shouldn't be hard to do it with a mech.

It rained so much yesterday, the soil on the mountain was a little loose, so it is not difficult to dig out this nebula mine.

"Okay." Since it was a good material, He Tian naturally wouldn't refuse it.

So after lunch, the six of them were not in a hurry to leave. Except for Qiao Xi and Elmo, the other four recruited mechas to help He Tian dig the nebula mine.

Qiao Xi looked at the four busy people, wondering if this was a blessing in disguise.The touch He Tian brought to him still hasn't dissipated. He may never understand He Tian's thoughts, but for He Tian, ​​he may be able to reposition himself.
