Live Strong in the Wilderness

Chapter 387: The True Role of the Star Chart

Lu Ke held Xu Yi’s hand. Although she didn’t know how to see the lord, she felt that Xu Yi wasn’t just bored and looking for someone to chat with casually.

After holding Xu Yi’s hand, Lu Ke felt a strange sensation.

"Relax, don’t be nervous," Xu Yi said. After all, this was his first attempt.

With others, Xu Yi didn’t dare to do this.

Because Lu Ke’s brainwaves were quite strong.

Actually, Xu Yi thought it was precisely because everyone has brainwaves that telekinesis could be triggered.

The stronger the brainwaves, the stronger the telekinesis.

Moreover, the stronger the brainwaves, the more easily one can resist the influence of spiritual power.

For example, Xu Yi’s binding skills would only last 2 seconds on Lu Ke, but on Su Yan, it would last 5 seconds or even longer.

However, awakening spiritual power doesn’t necessarily mean having exceptionally strong brainwaves.

At least for now, Xu Yi’s brainwaves weren’t much different from Lu Ke’s.

After a few minutes, Lu Ke saw a scene and couldn’t help but cover her mouth.

What she saw was naturally everything Xu Yi experienced that day.

Spiritual power, it was so incredible that it could allow someone else to see Xu Yi’s memory scenes.

And it felt as if she was experiencing it herself.

Unfortunately, Xu Yi’s spiritual power wasn’t very strong, lasting only 20 minutes before it ended.

"So, did you see it?" Xu Yi rubbed his temples and asked Lu Ke.

"I saw it. It was so beautiful. I couldn’t help but be captivated," Lu Ke said with an enchanted look, as she loved watching anime, and encountering such characters in reality was indeed quite shocking.

"..."

Xu Yi twitched his mouth and then heard Lu Ke say, "Xu Yi, do you think it would be alright if I made dolls of them?"

After seeing Spirit God and Ling Qi, Lu Ke had a desire to create.

"It should be fine; you can make an extra one while you’re at it." Xu Yi had thought it would be hard to ask Lu Ke, but unexpectedly, she wanted to do it herself.

"Of course, I can try carving. I’ve self-taught before but haven’t made a formal piece yet," Lu Ke said happily, with Spirit God and Ling Qi still vivid in her mind.

There was no chance to make clay figures now, but carving was possible.

During the night watch, Lu Ke could start carving.

Keeping watch with Xu Yi, she knew she was just accompanying him without much other contribution.

So she immediately took out her dagger.

Now, everyone had a military dagger. With so many people gone and many dead, some military daggers were picked up during battlefield cleanups. Currently, their group of 12 had 15 military daggers.

So, her dagger was seldom used to attack fierce beasts, and no matter how sharp it was, it couldn’t break through defenses.

Using it for carving was much easier. After all, it could even cut through iron effortlessly.

"Xu Yi, are you going to carve something too?" Lu Ke saw Xu Yi pull out his dagger and was selecting wood.

"Weapons, I’m going to try carving an arrow. The military dagger is too bulky; I want to make a weapon more suitable for telekinesis control," Xu Yi explained.

"Is it the kind they use?" Lu Ke couldn’t help but recall the scene of Spirit God controlling weapons to pierce through steel plates.

"Yes, similar, but theirs seems to have no blood groove. I want to add some blood grooves or make it based on the military dagger design," Xu Yi explained.

He still had 5 pounds of B-level liquid metal to use for making such weapons.

Lu Ke nodded, then glanced at her own dagger.

Was Xu Yi planning to remake it with a dagger?

Both of them started working, but it didn’t affect Xu Yi’s vigilance.

Once his spiritual vision was activated, it didn’t interfere with his activities, a remarkably powerful ability.

Moreover, the distance Xu Yi could observe had increased from ten meters to twelve meters. Don’t underestimate this two-meter increase.

With spiritual vision combined with Xu Yi’s hearing and sense of smell, he could detect danger in advance.

Compared to other teams, Xu Yi’s team had a significant advantage.

The night passed peacefully.

The two fierce beasts had left, or at least Xu Yi didn’t feel their presence anymore.

By the end of the night, Xu Yi had carved out three different telekinesis arrows.

One was the type the Spirit God used, without even an arrowhead, its tip incredibly sharp and simple.

The second was modified from a Mitsubishi military dagger, but reshaped like an arrow.

The third was similar to the first, but the tail was designed with three-winged blood grooves.

Xu Yi wanted to see which of the three was more suitable for being used as a telekinesis weapon.

In his mind, he favored the third one, which combined elements from the first two. However, it would take testing to determine the most effective one.

What Xu Yi didn’t know was that the Spirit Race’s telekinesis weapons, while seemingly ordinary, would deploy blood grooves when hitting a target and contained energy attacks.

"Xu Yi, it’s daylight," Lu Ke put away her unfinished doll and dagger, then stood up and stretched.

"Hmm, time flies," Xu Yi also put away his things and stood up.

"System, check-in."

Today marked the 128th day of check-in.

After checking in, Xu Yi and Lu Ke went to wash their faces and brush their teeth.

Others also gradually emerged from the tents.

"We survived another night. Only 77 days left until a hundred days," Wang Jin exclaimed happily as she emerged from the tent and stretched.

"I was worried we’d get attacked by fierce beasts yesterday," Zhou Mo sneaked a glance at Wang Jin and then walked to the side.

After everyone finished freshening up, they started practicing the Eighteen Forms of Body Strengthening.

Afterwards, they ate some dried meat.

"Xu Yi, should we continue going deeper today?" Qin Fan glanced at the pot of water; it was already the second pot.

Lu Ke’s Star Chart stored boiled water.

"Yes, with tents and sleeping bags, we don’t need a fixed camp anymore. The organizers gave us the Star Chart, probably to make it easier for us to do so. A fixed camp wouldn’t help us improve ourselves," Xu Yi said as he put the tent and sleeping bags back into his Star Chart Space.

Within the team, one Star Chart was used for water, and another for food, enough to sustain them for ten days.

If they set up a fixed camp, the Star Chart’s usefulness diminishes.

"That’s true, with the Star Chart, it’s indeed better suited for us to keep moving," Lu Yao agreed, then suggested, "Let’s free up another Star Chart for water to be more secure."

Everyone agreed, and Lu Yao’s Star Chart was emptied, transferring items into Wang Jin and Su Yan’s Star Charts.

However, to save time, Lu Yao’s Star Chart was filled with unboiled water. After filling it up, they headed deeper into the forest.
