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

Extraterrestrial demons!

This is how the people of the Thunder Wolf tribe refer to Lin Feng and his companions.

The so-called Thunder Wolf tribe is simply the name given to those werewolves.

It's quite amazing that, although Lin Feng and the others couldn't understand a single word the werewolves were exchanging with each other, they could understand the meaning of each other's words when those obscure pronunciations were put together.

According to Jiang Fan's guess, the only explanation for this is the influence of some unseen system force.

At the same time, based on the werewolves' term for humans as "extraterrestrial demons," it can be inferred that they had seen humans before, or had long anticipated their appearance.

This also explains to some extent why, after ambushing and seriously injuring four members of the main hunting team, including Nangong Yue, they did not choose to continue to kill them all, but instead retreated.

It is very likely that in their understanding, these "extraterrestrial demons" are a powerful race.

If this speculation comes true, it would be both good news and bad news for Jiang Fan and the rest of the human camp.

The good news is that, in this way, alien races such as the Thunder Wolf tribe, intimidated by the "power" of the "extraterrestrial demons," will certainly not dare to easily launch a war of aggression against humanity.

This gives them some time to develop.

The bad news is that when those alien races are ready to launch another invasion of humanity, the resulting disaster will be devastating.

At the same time, Jiang Fan also clarified part of the sequence of events. There must be an underground passage or something like an underground river leading to the Thunder Wolf tribe beneath that Thunder Wolf Lake.

The thunder wolves that gathered near the lake did not evolve because of something beneath the lake, as he had initially guessed.

Instead, it was the mounts or pets of the Thunder Wolf tribe that arrived here through underground passages or dark rivers.

This also explains to some extent why Jiang Fan, Tang Qingyu, and the others encountered a powerful alien beast with a crystal core at a distance that wasn't particularly deep into the rainforest.

He clearly remembered the immense pressure that the thunder wolf had exerted on him at the time.

It was that same Thunder Wolf that provided him with 67 points of spiritual energy, helping him and Tang Qingyu break through to the Spirit Body realm.

In this conflict, it's not hard to understand why the tabby cat's perception ability failed when facing other species.

Jiang Fan clearly remembered that the skill description stated the target of perception was a "powerful beast," not something like a "powerful individual."

Clearly, werewolves are not simply "humanoid creatures" in appearance; in a sense, they have indeed transcended the category of "beasts."

At the same time, Jiang Fan was also reflecting on his actions, realizing that he had not considered things carefully enough.

They had preconceived notions, assuming that the alien race would only make contact with them after breaking through the isolation zone of the living tree.

However, they overlooked the possibility of some "secret passages".

After Biao Ge finished scouting the alien races in the north and south directions in the morning, Jiang Fan sent him to the depths of the rainforest in the purple beam area to monitor whether any alien races would break through the living tree area.

Jiang Fan had previously thought that as long as Brother Biao's side didn't have any problems, he and his group wouldn't suddenly encounter an attack from the alien race.

But things didn't go as planned. The alien race was not a mindless creature that could only "progress step by step." They possessed intelligence that was no less than that of humans.

Although the "Cat Team" suffered heavy losses this time, with a total of 5 "team members" sacrificing their lives, after receiving Jiang Fan's order to "guard Thunder Wolf Lake", the tabby cat still sent three of its more alert subordinates over.

But Jiang Fan also knew that this was not a long-term solution.

After all, the Thunder Wolf tribe members were not ordinary wild beasts. They were fully capable of silently killing the "Cat Team" who were watching them.

The tabby cat can only determine whether something has happened by whether the mark it left on the team members has disappeared.

That would be too wasteful of the cat.

The most important thing right now is to find out the details of the secret passage beneath Thunder Wolf Lake.

As for the dangers in the lake, they have likely been dealt with by the werewolves.

This conclusion is not hard to draw from the fact that the werewolves Lin Feng and his companions encountered "already had injuries on their bodies".

As for seeking help from Tang Qingyu and others, Jiang Fan is not considering it for the time being.

After all, the other four werewolves had only retreated into the depths of the rainforest and might not have left through Thunder Wolf Lake. When Tang Qingyu and the others learned of this, their first thought would definitely be self-preservation, not to come and help.

He instructed Ding Rui to have someone write a letter about what happened here and entrust it to the tabby cat to deliver to Tang Qingyu, reminding them to be careful over there, about the four werewolves who might not have left, and the alien races that might have invaded through special paths.

Then Jiang Fan left the dormitory area alone and headed to Thunder Wolf Lake.

At this point, Nangong Yue's condition is stable, and it is possible to arrange for others to take care of her.

With Ding Rui in charge, it was enough to calm the panicked ordinary students.

With Ding Rui in charge, it was enough to calm the panicked ordinary students.

Although doing so carries the risk of exposing the rear to the enemy, Jiang Fan knows that now is not the time to stand still.

In the current situation, looking back and forth is no different from a slow death.

Upon arriving near Thunder Wolf Lake, Jiang Fan could still see many traces of battle. The dark red blood on the nearby trees revealed the ferocity of the battle fought by Nangong Yue and the others.

Jiang Fan flung out a Heavenly Cloud Vine, which wrapped around the branch of a nearby tree. The moment he leaped into Thunder Wolf Lake, he activated the Water-Repelling Bead on his hand.

He was prepared to use the Heavenly Cloud Vine to pull himself out of the water in case of an unexpected situation.

But the lake was unusually quiet, with almost no living creatures.

The lake water was clear and emitted a pale blue light. Even with the enhanced vision of a level 3 spiritual body, one could still have a field of vision of nearly twenty meters underwater.

The lake wasn't deep; according to Jiang Fan's estimate, it was only about seven or eight meters deep.

At the bottom of the lake, he could clearly see the corpses of three werewolves and an even larger, strange beast.

It was a giant turtle, far larger than an ordinary alligator snapping turtle, with a carapace length of over four meters, resembling a small underwater fortress.

Its overall form is robust and exudes a sense of power.

The carapace is not ordinary keratin, but is covered with a translucent, crystalline shell that resembles purple crystal.

The surface of the carapace is covered with sharp, clustered crystals with edges as sharp as saws.

Several claw marks and charred marks covered its carapace, with some of the crystalline armor shattered, revealing the dark and tough original armor material underneath.

The giant tortoise's head had disappeared, and Jiang Fan sighed inwardly, regretting that he might have been able to obtain a high-quality lightning attribute crystal core.

Clearly, this giant tortoise has become extremely powerful after undergoing two mutations. Otherwise, even with the environmental advantage underwater, it would have been difficult to seriously injure so many people and take away three of them from the siege of so many werewolves.

Even without the crystal core, the giant tortoise's corpse was still incredibly valuable, and Jiang Fan decided to take it back with him when he returned.

After observing the situation at the bottom of the lake, Jiang Fan retracted the Heavenly Cloud Vine above and headed towards a cave entrance more than 2 meters high.

Based on Jiang Fan's observation, this is very likely the passage through which the werewolves of the Thunder Wolf tribe came to this place.

This is a deep, sloping passageway, filled with jagged rocks and dim lighting.

Fortunately, Jiang Fan is currently protected by the water-repelling beads and does not need to swim.

Otherwise, with his mediocre swimming skills, it would be very difficult for him to get through such a place.

After traveling about thirty meters quickly, just as the first use of the water-repelling pearl was about to end, Jiang Fan finally saw a glimmer of light.

But just as he was about to break through the water, a figure suddenly jumped into the water and bumped into his arms.

She was a woman from another race, surrounded by a bluish-green light, with a leaf-shaped green mark between her eyebrows. She had long hair that reached her waist, a slender figure, and delicate features.

However, the obvious panic in her eyes ruined her overall mature and sophisticated aura.

Jiang Fan's body tensed instantly. He pushed the woman in his arms away and thrust out his steel spear without hesitation.
