Rebirth: Living in Wilderness with My Superpower

Of course, this was not the time to discuss misunderstandings. The two of them just reassured everyone that there was nothing serious outside, urging everyone to eat and drink as usual.

As for the couple, they leisurely returned to their room.

Seeing them so calm, everyone naturally set aside their worries.

In their eyes, the Celestial God was omnipotent. Since even they said there was nothing wrong, it must truly be fine.

However, inside the room, the Fox was adjusting his attire, tightening his belt and shoelaces, and tying his hair in a style ready for battle.

Bai Junjun glanced at him, amused, "You better not bother with that."

"?" Li Wenli looked at her in confusion.

"Aren't we going out to take a look?"

"The Forest Protection Array is already activated. It's uncertain whether they can breach the defensive line. It's a bit too early for us to head out now," Bai Junjun said as she poured herself a cup of tea, sipping it slowly. "If they think the Forest Protection Array only has this much power, they're gravely mistaken. Just wait; I'll certainly make them retreat in fear."

Trying to take advantage of the Ownerless Land? Dream on.

As for the abilities of the young lady, the Fox had no doubts. The Wood-series Ability was already intimidating, and coupled with the Earth-series Ability, the blend of both was practically akin to Mother Earth.

...

In the military tent, Yuwen Feng and the strategist think tank were also deliberating countermeasures through the night. The think tank suggested temporarily withdrawing the troops, sending a small number of soldiers to clear the mines first, and then requesting the Crown Prince to call in the State Preceptor or the Special Ability Mage to break the formation.

Yuwen Feng, however, was unwilling, "We have already sacrificed thirty thousand troops. To be frank, these thirty thousand have probably filled all the traps here. Since we've already passed the first three stages, why not push through in one go?"

"Your Highness means..."

Yuwen Feng glanced at them without speaking, but his eyes conveyed everything.

Currently, the traps were all filled with the dead. Even if the traps had lethality, their capacity was limited. They might as well employ the tactic of human waves, sweeping through a location. With at least seventy thousand troops, he refused to believe they couldn't get through.

"Presumably, the sacrificed soldiers would also agree with our approach since only by avenging their deaths can their spirits be truly pacified."

"His Highness is right." The generals and even the strategists silently nodded in agreement.

So the next day, Yuwen Feng rallied his forces again, deploying another thirty thousand troops. This time, instead of stretching out the battle lines, they concentrated on attacking one point.

They returned to the initial location, but to everyone's surprise, the area that had turned into quicksand yesterday had transformed back into solid ground.

Seeing this, everyone was a bit bewildered, unsure whether to advance or retreat for a moment.

Finally, Zuo Jiang unsealed the siege cart and decided to have it pushed forward to probe the terrain.

The soldiers who received the order dared not disobey and could only muster the courage to proceed.

Thirty thousand troops, including Yuwen Feng, had their eyes fixed on these eight siege carts, all of which, along with the personnel pushing them, were tied with hemp ropes. Should the ground turn into quicksand, the soldiers behind would immediately pull them out.

Fortunately, the dreadful scenario did not occur. The eight carts moved smoothly as if on solid ground, progressing safely into the jungle.

Zuo Jiang, still not completely assured, sent two more groups of a thousand men each to scout ahead.

The team members also tied hemp ropes around their waists, cautiously embedding themselves forward, yet their footing remained firm, without the situation they had feared.

The people at the back exchanged glances.

"It seems that this Quicksand Pool either lost its function, or it's triggered only at specific spots, perhaps when turning back."
