Chapter 245 Setting up camp and waiting
Wei Chaoyan was completely unaware of all this. She had simply engaged in a fierce "battle" with the "audacious" Qingyan, during which she released a great deal of pent-up negative emotions, such as worry, fear, and anticipation.
After chasing Qingyan for quite a distance, Wei Chaoyan slowed down, deciding not to pursue him any further. Instead, she turned to look at the elegant and composed Qi Ye behind her. "Qi Ye, do you think this distance is about right? Is it suitable to set up camp?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Ye strolled around the area, looking around several times. After considering the matter further, he said in a deep voice, "It's acceptable! The distance is neither too far nor too close. It allows us to keep an eye on the activity at the mass grave while minimizing the contamination from its overflowing resentment and the disturbances from the evil spirits, fierce corpses, and vengeful ghosts that spawn in the surrounding area. In addition, the location is cleverly secluded, enough to avoid the sight of most people! When the tribulation lightning strikes, it will be enough to keep us away from more than 90% of the people attracted by this earth-shattering commotion!"
"Sister, it seems you and brother have made a lot of progress lately!" Qi Ye praised with satisfaction.
Wei Chaoyan rolled her eyes, too lazy to pay attention to his utterly fake and perfunctory words! She had "studied" dozens of times in the learning space, each time for nearly three years. There were countless resources and teachers inside. Even a pig would have improved a bit after going in and coming out, let alone her, who was not stupid to begin with!
"Hurry up and get the stuff out and set up camp!" Wei Chaoyan urged Qi Ye emphatically. "I need to go in and rest for a while, catch my breath, and then come back to keep watch!"
Seeing that the two had already started setting up a temporary camp, Qingyan, who had run to a distance, quickly turned around and ran over to help them build the camp together.
During the methodical construction process, Wei Chaoyan couldn't help but complain in the live stream: "If I had known, I would have asked Aying to make a portable courtyard for me when she had time, like the kind of magical artifacts often mentioned in novels that can recognize their owners and change size at will. That way, if I encountered a situation like today, I could take it out at any time, input spiritual power to activate it, and it could be enlarged into a normal courtyard to live in."
"We no longer need to painstakingly set up tents ourselves like we do now, nor do we need to set up various defensive magic arrays to ward off insects, snakes, evil spirits, and wild beasts after nightfall, because these magical artifacts come with defensive inscriptions on them!"
"Ugh! What a idiot!" Wei Chaoyan sighed regretfully. "Now that things are so urgent, what's the use of thinking about it now?!"
Qi Ye and Qing Yan, who were still busy working on the side, both had black lines on their faces: "..."
They looked at each other, exchanging glances: "Third Brother, should we tell Sister to keep her voice down? We all heard it!" Qingyan was extremely conflicted.
Qi Ye glanced at Qing Yan calmly, without the slightest hint of anger: "Qing Yan, calm down! Your older sister is just extremely worried about the safety of Second Brother and Brother Lan Zhan, which is why she is so restless and acting strangely. You should try to understand her!"
"No! Didn't my second brother and I explain it to them one by one? Even if we fail to transcend the tribulation, given the things my second brother and the others prepared beforehand, they shouldn't be injured!" Qingyan returned a puzzled look.
"Qingyan!" Qi Ye paused in his actions, his eyes darkening as he glanced at him with a hint of warning. "My sister doesn't need us. She has been trapped in Yiling since then and has never gone out. Her knowledge of the dangers outside is limited to glimpses from the floating talismans we carry. She has never truly experienced a real battle against evil spirits and monsters!"
"Therefore, the unknown that she has never personally experienced will naturally amplify its terror in her mind. Moreover, whether it is myths or legends or various records, the description of the power of the lightning tribulation is extremely terrifying. In addition, the place where her second brother and the others are currently undergoing tribulation is not a good place. In the original destiny line, her second brother suffered here many times. No wonder her sister is so fearful and uneasy at this moment!"
Moreover, there was also the fear and disgust that her elder sister harbored for the Yiling Burial Mound and... the Dao of Heaven, which she herself was unaware of!
Qi Ye lowered his eyes and silently added to the unfinished words in his heart.
