The Ninth Trial

Tang Wulin harbored the same doubts as Xie Xie. Naturally, they would earn more points the longer they survive this trial, yet two hours had passed without the slightest peep. How could this be called a trial of survival then? It was easy to forage for food in a forest and survive.

"Should we go exploring?" Xie Xie asked.

Tang Wulin looked at the sky before answering, "Not yet, it's still early in the afternoon. We'll wait until nightfall. It'll be safer if Xu Xiaoyan can use her Starwheel Ice Staff."

Impatience was their number one enemy. Tang Wulin refused to give in to anxiety, calmly contemplating the best way to help his teammates maximize their points.

Since we're safe here, we can wait until everyone's in their best condition before exploring.

The sun gradually sunk beyond the horizon. In the twilight, Tang Wulin stood up and quietly climbed up a tree to gaze into the distance.
