The entire school embarks on a survival journey, starting from a primeval rainforest.

Upon entering Nangong Yue's room, Jiang Fan immediately smelled a strong stench of blood.

Although Ding Rui was in the room, she did not take care of Nangong Yue or bandage her wounds. Instead, she sat behind Nangong Yue, letting the other woman lean against her. Even her usual black stockings were stained with blood that had seeped from Nangong Yue's bandages.

The leopard cub Mo Yingtuan was to Nangong Yue's left, constantly licking its paws with its tongue.

It stays quietly by its owner's side, unlike tabby cats which like to cause trouble everywhere.

As Jiang Fan entered, he met the eyes of three pairs of people.

Nangong Yue's left hand under the blanket seemed to move slightly, shifting the blanket to the right to cover her bare right side.

Her entire right arm is gone.

Not only that, according to the tabby cat, Nangong Yue's left calf was also gone.

It wasn't injured by a sharp weapon, but rather torn off by the alien race.

The pain endured during this process is unimaginable.

Even though the other party had already broken through to the level 1 spirit body, Jiang Fan found it hard to imagine how she had survived.

"You...you're back." Before Jiang Fan could speak, Nangong Yue spoke first, though her voice was a little hoarse.

"...Does it hurt?" Even with Jiang Fan's composure, he was a little at a loss at this moment. After a few seconds of silence, he asked a question that he himself thought was idiotic.

"It doesn't hurt..." Nangong Yue noticed Jiang Fan's loss of composure, and as she spoke, the corner of her mouth twitched as if she wanted to laugh.

But this seemed to aggravate the wound, and he couldn't help but frown again.

"you..."

"Listen to me first." Seeing that Jiang Fan was about to speak as he sat down on her bedside, Nangong Yue stopped him and spoke first: "Our hunting team has a total of 42 people. As you instructed, we will focus on adaptation and explore as a secondary activity."

They set off at 9 a.m. and returned once around 11 a.m., bringing their prey back here.

After a short rest, we set off again. Since we had adapted well previously and everyone cooperated well, we decided to try exploring deeper into the rainforest as you described, hoping to obtain more living tree sap.

Jiang Fan nodded; he had indeed spoken to Nangong Yue and the others about it.

Although the sap of the living tree is no longer of much use to him, it can still be very useful to others, especially Ding Hang. If he can also use the sap of the living tree to enhance his potential coefficient by 2%, then his future prospects will be limitless.

"The rainforest is indeed fraught with danger, but fortunately, with the cooperation of your tabby cat and its subordinates, we managed to avoid those powerful herds or individuals without any real danger and actually found those living tree groups."

We collected sap from eight living trees in total, and even further explored, we found several even taller living trees, about three times the size of the previous eight.

However, these living trees were also incredibly powerful. Even with the seven of us at the first level of spiritual body working together, and with Lin Feng and I using our blue breastplates to block in front, it took us all our strength to successfully kill one.

However, the results were indeed gratifying. What we harvested from the branches of this living tree was no longer sap, but something resembling a fruit. We'll tentatively call that greenish-blue thing, which looks like a kiwi, the "heart of the tree."

Jiang Fan's heart stirred, and he finally understood why Nangong Yue was able to survive despite suffering such severe injuries.

He had indeed previously speculated that different sizes of living trees might produce different kinds of good things.

Otherwise, if the potential coefficient can only be increased by about 20% through the sap of living trees, this setting would seem to have little meaning.

Clearly, this "tree heart" should be able to further strengthen the spiritual body and increase the potential coefficient.

Just then, Nangong Yue's left arm moved, and she pulled out a "tree heart" from somewhere and handed it to Jiang Fan: "Here you go. Thank you for the Frost Armor. I like it very much."

Jiang Fan's heart skipped a beat. He had assumed the other person had already consumed it, but now he could no longer control his emotions, his voice trembling slightly: "You...you didn't eat it? Why didn't you eat it yourself?"

"...I'm already like this...so I won't waste it..." Nangong Yue's voice was broken and her tone was mournful, her face ashen.

It was clear that she had just experienced a brief period of lucidity before her death.

Jiang Fan quickly took out the recovery fruit from his pocket, wanting her to take it.

But at this moment, Nangong Yue's eyes were already closed, and even her left hand, which was holding the tree heart, hung limply on the bed.

Jiang Fan quickly nudged her, but when she didn't react, he became very anxious.

He took a bite of the restored fruit; it was sweet and fragrant.

He didn't have time to savor it properly; he quickly chewed a few bites.

Use your hand to pry open Nangong Yue's mouth, then use your tongue to push the fruit inside into her mouth.

Just then, Nangong Yue's eyes opened again, and a flush appeared on her pale face.

Their eyes met, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward for a moment.

Jiang Fan quickly stood up straight and parted his lips from the other person's.

Ding Rui, who had been watching silently, smiled and said, "Her breathing is still steady. She's probably just dizzy from blood loss and wants to sleep for a while..."

"this..."

Jiang Fan felt a little embarrassed. If that just now could be considered a kiss, then it was his first kiss.

He just didn't expect it to happen under these circumstances.

I was so worried that I panicked and thought that not taking out the Restoration Fruit sooner would have caused Nangong Yue's death.

After calming himself down, Jiang Fan briefly described the effects of the Restoration Fruit to the two of them.

Ding Rui and Nangong Yue looked shocked, finding it hard to believe that such a miraculous fruit existed.

The latter could not hide her excitement. She had lost two of her limbs and had been in despair, but she never expected to see hope again so soon.

Nangong Yue took the restoration fruit from Jiang Fan with her left hand and ate the apple-sized green fruit little by little.

Soon, her pale complexion, which had been stained with blood loss, regained its rosy hue.

However, the effect of this thing was not as drastic as Jiang Fan had expected. After Nangong Yue completely consumed the recovery fruit, she actually fell into a coma.

However, judging from her increasingly steady and powerful breathing, her condition is indeed improving.

After a moment's hesitation, Jiang Fan put away the tree heart that Nangong Yue had given him earlier.

Actually, given his personality, he wouldn't have wanted to take it. After all, if Nangong Yue and the others could get it, he certainly could too.

It just takes some effort.

But with the threat of alien races looming nearby, he desperately needs to improve his strength.

However, since his spirit body has just broken through, even if he rushes into the rainforest to hunt now, it will take quite a while to level up again.

Moreover, given the current state of this community, it is indeed not suitable for him to leave immediately, otherwise people's hearts will inevitably become restless.

Jiang Fan left the room and was about to close the door when he noticed that Ding Rui had followed him out.

"Is something the matter?" Jiang Fan asked.

Ding Rui shook her head slightly, giving Jiang Fan a half-smile as she looked him over: "How did it feel just now? Were Yue-jie's lips soft?"

Depend on!

Jiang Fan cursed inwardly, thinking that this vixen was trying to seduce him again.

He deliberately put on a stern face and rebuked the other person: "You're disappointed that she can recover?"

"No way! I'm overjoyed that Sister Yue has recovered!" Ding Rui said earnestly.

Relax your eyebrows, keep your gaze steady, and maintain a natural expression.

Jiang Fan was somewhat surprised; judging from the other person's micro-expressions, it didn't seem like they were lying.

But from Jiang Fan's perspective, he felt that the other party shouldn't have such thoughts.

As if guessing Jiang Fan's thoughts, Ding Rui suddenly said with some melancholy, "My mother once taught me that a successful man is bound to be a womanizer. It's a biological instinct and the result of natural selection."

As long as this man can give you what you want and has you in his heart, then you don't need to care whether there are other people in his heart.

Don't worry about him having other women; that will only make him more inseparable from you!

Jiang Fan was completely shocked when he heard her words.

He couldn't help but marvel at how the other woman's mother, who was able to become the general manager of a venture capital firm, was truly an extraordinary woman!

He was even more impressed by Ding Rui's father, the vice president of an investment bank, with his "art of managing his wife."

Just then, Ding Rui took out a cloth bundle from her bosom: "This is also for you, Sister Yue. She wasn't feeling well just now and didn't have time to say it."

Jiang Fan then realized that he had misunderstood Ding Rui.

After taking the package and opening it, I found six shimmering purple crystal cores inside.

Jiang Fan was surprised to find that Nangong Yue and the others had already collected more in the morning than he had collected in the previous two days.

He knew there was probably more to the story, but he could only wait a while before asking Lin Feng and the others.

Just then, the tabby cat's previous description of the alien race was still not detailed enough, and Nangong Yue hadn't even gotten to that point before falling into a coma.

Having made up his mind, Jiang Fan returned to his room next door, eagerly took out the tree heart, and prepared to consume it.

At this moment, faced with the threat of the alien race, his desire to protect himself and avenge his companions was at its strongest.

The need to improve one's personal abilities is more urgent than ever!
