Immortal Martial Saint, something's wrong with my entry.

In the outpost on the other side.

Li Youan was lying on her bed in her room, almost asleep.

A sudden pang of heart palpitation made him open his eyes again.

Reaching up to touch his forehead, Li Youan found it covered in fine sweat. Looking at the sweat on his fingertips, this sudden palpitation made him feel that some extreme danger was approaching.

"Something feels off."

Since arriving in this world, Li Youan has never felt such heart palpitations, not even when he was trapped in the cave by the school of fish.

"Ha-hoo-hoo!"

Taking a deep breath, Li Youan closed his eyes again, and his internal energy began to circulate slowly.

The [Seed of Longevity] in Li Youan's dantian began to vibrate at a strange frequency. Under the influence of Li Youan's blood and qi, the [Seed of Longevity] had basically adapted to Li Youan's body.

Feeling the vibration of the [Seed of Immortality], Li Youan's anxious heart gradually calmed down, and his fists, which had been clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white, slowly relaxed.

[Number of draws: 102]

Looking at the system panel floating silently in front of him, the 102 lottery draws were still there. Li Youan hesitated for a moment, but still didn't make a move.

"It's not the right time yet."

The closer you get to this critical moment, the more you need to stay calm. These 102 times must be saved for the most crucial time.

Although he no longer needed to sleep, Li Youan forced himself to fall asleep in order to cope with tomorrow, or rather, the high-pressure situation that would last for a period of time.

-----------------

In the blink of an eye, the darkness had receded, the sky was beginning to lighten, and the Forest of Ten Thousand Demons was bustling with activity once again.

The hunters of the night return to their lairs, awaiting the arrival of the next night to continue their hunt.

The prey were still on edge. Although the night hunters had retreated, the day hunters had awakened.

Therefore, to survive in this Forest of Ten Thousand Demons, one must become the top hunter.

The prey has no voice.

Li Youan woke up very early. After a quick wash, he sat on the bed and began circulating the "True Scripture of Longevity Tribulation," while simultaneously using his qi and blood to cleanse the "Seed of Longevity" within his body. This was a slow and meticulous process, requiring constant attention.

After more than half an hour, Li Youan stopped circulating the "True Scripture of Longevity Tribulation," but continued to use his qi and blood to cleanse the "Seed of Longevity."

After storing all his belongings in his Heavenly Pivot Ring and taking one last look at the room, Li Youan went to the main hall.

Luo Jingshan was still in the same spot where he had talked with Li Youan yesterday, his back still ramrod straight, but in the air in front of him floated a map made of primordial energy.

Upon reaching Luo Jingshan's side, Li Youan discovered that it was a detailed topographical map showing the route from Outpost No. 1 to this outpost, and even further afield.

Of course, if the two of them had seen Eagle Soar's map, they would have noticed that the two maps were not much different.

In fact, Luo Jingshan had already noticed Li Youan the moment he entered the hall. However, he was carefully studying the map and thinking about the return route, so he didn't greet Li Youan.

Only after Li Youan walked up to him and found a place to sit did Luo Jingshan look up at him.

"team leader."

Luo Jingshan glanced at Li Youan, then turned his gaze back to the map, asking a question as he did so.

"How was your rest yesterday?"

"good."

Li Youan also turned his gaze to the map. "Captain, when do we set off?"

Upon hearing Li Youan's words, Luo Jingshan did not turn his head, but continued to study the map.

"They'll be here in a bit. We'll see how their injuries are healing before we decide."

After saying that, Li Youan saw that Luo Jingshan was still studying the map, so he didn't disturb him any longer and got up to move to a corner.

After sitting down, Li Youan gently rubbed the armrest of the chair with his right hand, closed his eyes to rest, and waited for the other team members to arrive.

Tapping.

Before long, Li Youan heard footsteps, and Luo Yao and Luo Hui entered the hall in a flash.

The two didn't greet Luo Jingshan, but instead found a seat and sat down, seemingly already used to their captain's behavior.

After the two sat down, they raised their eyebrows at Li Youan as a greeting without making a sound to disturb Luo Jingshan.

Immediately afterwards, Qi Xuan and He Xiaoluo walked into the hall together, greeted the others, and found a place to sit down without disturbing Luo Jingshan.

Looking at He Xiaoluo carrying a bow on her back, Li Youan felt that this senior student really liked archery.

After a few more minutes, Dongfang Jinghong arrived in the hall. After greeting everyone in the hall, he walked straight toward Li Youan.

Sitting directly next to Li Youan, Dongfang Jinghong said nothing, but with a flick of her wrist, several round objects appeared in her palm. These were the array plates that Li Youan had given her yesterday, asking her to help repair them.

The array plate was no longer the same color as yesterday; it was not only smaller, but also looked more ancient.

Li Youan reached out and touched it; the texture was neither gold, nor jade, nor earth, nor steel, and the edges shimmered with a faint luster.

"Here you go, everything's fixed." Dongfang Jinghong said in a very low voice as she noticed everyone in the hall was talking quietly.

"I also added some 'Sinking Star Sand' and 'Earth Vein Copper Essence' to help you stabilize the core spirit runes. Now this array plate won't collapse as easily as before."

Li Youan reached out and took all the array plates one by one.

Only when he actually held it in his hands did Li Youan realize that although the array plate was a bit smaller, it was much heavier than before.

The cool touch made Li Youan look down at the surface of the array plate. Not only had all the previous cracks healed, but many new, dense and mysterious array patterns had been added to the original simple patterns, layer upon layer, making the array plate look even more mysterious.

Yes, that's true for all the array plates.

Last night, when Li Youan went out, he suddenly decided to take all the array plates from his Tian Shu Ring and put them on the table in Dongfang Jinghong's room, including those that were intact.

At the time, Li Youan thought that since he was already indebted to someone, he might as well leave all the array plates with Dongfang Jinghong and let her check them together.

After leaving all the array plates on the table, Li Youan closed the door and slipped away.

In retrospect, this spur-of-the-moment decision turned out to be the right one.

Seeing Li Youan staring blankly at the array patterns, Dongfang Jinghong offered an explanation.

"This isn't due to my skill; it's something that increased on its own after it was refined."

Although Dongfang Jinghong said this, Li Youan put the array plate into his Tian Shu Ring and still clasped his hands in thanks to Dongfang Jinghong.

"Thank you very much. I will never forget this favor. I will protect my employer on the way back to the outpost."

"snort."

Dongfang Jinghong gave a soft hum and then placed the Bai Ze from Li Youan's shoulder on her lap and began to stroke it.

While the two were talking, all the members of the 13th squad came to the hall.

Everyone had arrived. Luo Jingshan, sitting in the main seat, cleared his throat, and his familiar voice echoed throughout the hall.

"Alright, now that everyone's here, let's get straight to the point and get to our next steps."

"First of all, how is your recovery going?"

Although the question was directed at everyone, Luo Jingshan was primarily concerned with Luo Yao and Wei Xiao, who sustained the most serious injuries yesterday.

"Captain, we are ready to move out at any time."

Hearing their answers, Luo Jingshan nodded and continued speaking.

"Our mission is complete. We now have two routes to choose from. Let's brainstorm and decide on a route before retreating immediately."

As he spoke, the map behind Luo Jingshan floated in front of everyone. As it moved, the map magnified several times, and now everyone could clearly see the two red lines on the map.

"One of them is..."
