"Don't worry, Ice Princess. I am fine. Bai Ze looked at Shangguan Bingxue and smiled carefree.

Shangguan Bingxue was silent, squinting at him. She always felt that there was something strange about Bai Ze, but after thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't tell what was strange, and she didn't look very tired looking at his face.

"Since you say so, then let it be." She shrugged her shoulders and stopped asking.

Bai Ze nodded, looked around, and asked suspiciously, "By the way, what about those two people?" ”

The two drivers were still sleeping in the car, and Bai Ze inquired about Chen He and Wu Yijun, who had disappeared.

Shangguan Bingxue pointed to the forest and said calmly: "Chen He has gone to inspect." As for Yijun, she was preparing lunch behind a tree over there. ”

Bai Ze followed her gaze and found that among the dense grass of the forest, there was indeed a person walking. He looked at Shangguan Bingxue again, and couldn't help but quip: "Last time, your Prince Charming was almost bitten to death by a giant ape on an expedition, aren't you afraid that something will happen to him?" ”

Shangguan Bingxue's calm face changed slightly, and he looked at him with a serious face, "Don't joke, Chen He and I are friends, I don't want to hurt the relationship between us because of your joke." ”

Bai Ze was dumbfounded. Can this hurt their feelings? Isn't she the one who won't make it clear?

He shook his head and decided not to comment again. The whole thing is none of his business anyway.

Without saying a word, he walked past Shangguan Bingxue and went to help Wu Yijun make lunch. Soon after Shangguan Bingxue joined, Chen He also finished his inspection and said that he did not find any problems.

...

After a simple lunch, Bai Ze ordered the driver to wait here and not to leave, so as not to attract the attention of the enemy.

Although the two jeeps have been hiding in the forest after leaving the road, it is also possible that some beasts will smell people and track them if they go too far.

The two of them listened to Bai Ze's reason, their faces were a little pale, and they quickly nodded in understanding. At this time, the two could only wait obediently.

If they returned to the village without permission, they would be interrogated to death. But even then, there is a chance that they will encounter some kind of beast on the way and be killed, so they can only obey the arrangement.

In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Bai Ze asked Chen He to watch them from a distance, and he and Shangguan Bingxue took Wu Yijun deep into the forest together.

Although a little reluctantly. But the sniper knew that the big picture was the priority, and in the end he agreed.

……

There was almost silence in the forest. The only sound that could be heard was the rustle of the leaves as the wind blew.

Trees that used to be only five to ten meters tall at most have now reached a height of thirty meters. Grass that used to be easily pulled out by hand now requires both hands to work together to barely pull it out.

Due to the influence of the soul record, the impact of mana awakening on the world is indeed huge. No matter where you look at it, it's easy to tell the difference in physics; Even the calm aura that surrounds the forest is full of murderous aura at this time!

To say that this difference is visible to the naked eye is not to exaggerate in the slightest.

Along the dirt road, Bai Ze, Shangguan Bingxue, and Wu Yijun silently advanced, carefully observing the surroundings.

"The air in this place is so good!" Wu Yijun exclaimed in a low voice, so as not to attract the attention of any foreign objects.

Shangguan Bingxue nodded, took a deep breath, and enjoyed the pure oxygen nourishing his blood vessels and lungs.

"Obviously, mana nourishes plants and makes them stronger compared to other living beings." Bai Ze guessed as he carefully looked around. "While the function of the Soul Record is similar to injecting mana into our bodies when it first appears, just like animals, plants seem to slowly absorb mana and store it in their bodies. That's probably why they're better suited to mana environments. ”

"That zombie ......" Shangguan Bingxue sensed the meaning of Bai Ze's words, his eyes widened slightly, and he looked at him in shock.

Wu Yijun also seemed to notice it, and muttered, "Don't tell me......"

"Same as you think." Bai Ze nodded and did not hide it. He explained his thoughts with his own understanding, combined with the information provided by Linglong: "Probably those human beings, because of the appearance of the soul record, caused the body to be unable to withstand the intrusive mana fluctuations, so that there would be such a result. ”

"As you can see, while most animals do mutate, and even some insects do, not all animals go through this process of mutation in the wild. After all, there are several live pigs and sheep in the village, they have grown up and become stronger, but they are not wild and do not attack other animals or humans. ”

"As for the plants...... I didn't have a chance to meet plant-like enemies, so I couldn't draw conclusions about them. But my theory is that the secret behind the mana and the evil mutation is in the soul of every being. ”

Bai Ze expounded his analysis and fell silent again.

Wu Yijun looked at him with big black eyes. The small pink mouth opened slightly, revealing a mouthful of pearly teeth.

"You...... How come I've never heard of you before? Shangguan Bingxue asked, staring at his side face.

“... What do you mean? Bai Ze asked in a low voice, while looking at her with a slight frown.

Wu Yijun stepped forward and interjected, pointing out: "You are indeed very perceptive! Your analysis is also really amazing and shows that you are a very smart person! ”

Shangguan Bingxue nodded, puzzled: "With such cognition, it is impossible to be unknown for a long time. In the exam, you are sure to stand out from other students and come out on top...... Then why have I never heard of your name? ”

Hearing the words of the two women beside him, Bai Ze couldn't help but smile bitterly.
