However, no matter how you put it, Li Xin was just a 19-year-old girl.
Li Cheng shook his head helplessly, looking at the harmonious scene between his sister and Xu An, he felt that perhaps continuing like this wouldn't be so bad.
Just a few minutes after everyone sat down, chirping sounds came from further away.
This time, Xu An didn't rush forward to attack.
Instead, he first observed where these monsters were coming from.
Just as Zhou Haimei was about to open fire to kill these monsters, Xu An stopped her with a look.
Xu An was unsure if these beasts were here to attack them. He watched the direction the monsters were fleeing and felt something was off.
"Wait a moment, I feel like these monsters aren't attacking us, but rather fleeing."
As soon as Xu An finished speaking, the remaining four people immediately stopped.
As expected, after they stopped attacking, they found that these white mice didn't seem inclined to fight.
They didn't even glance at Xu An and the others, directly fleeing forward.
This strange scene puzzled Xu An and the others.
Xu An gazed in the direction the mice had come from. "These things seem to be coming from the north. Something must have startled them in the north, causing them to run here."
"That means there must be something more terrifying in that direction, which is why they are fleeing in such a hurry."
Li Xin took out the binoculars from her backpack and looked in the direction the mice had come from.
"However, there's nothing but white; I can't see anything."
Xu An also looked north. Although there was nothing in front of him, a vague intuition told Xu An that something was coming.
"So, do you think it might be some higher-level monster? Should we wait here or prepare to move?"
Li Cheng was more considerate.
Their camp was located directly in the path of these mice.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so exhausted, working hard to waste so much time on these insignificant mice with little to gain.
If they chose to fight, it would be one thing. If they chose to avoid, they would need to start moving their camp immediately.
Xu An considered for a moment.
"Let's wait and see what it is. If we really can't handle it, then we'll consider moving."
Li Cheng glanced at Xu An and had no objections, agreeing.
After all, the location of this camp was a natural, wind-sheltered cave they had searched for a long time to find.
Everywhere else was a snowfield.
It wouldn't be easy to find another place with such a good geographical location for a camp.
Li Cheng felt Xu An's reasoning was sound.
After all, a safe camp would be an excellent dwelling for their subsequent rest and replenishment of supplies.
"I think Sister An is right. If a monster comes that we can't deal with, then we'll run. Why should we move now when everything is fine? We finally found this place, and I don't want to give it up so easily."
Ever since Xu An had saved Li Xin earlier, Li Xin's way of addressing Xu An had changed.
She kept calling him "Sister An."
Initially, Xu An found it awkward, but later, he let Li Xin call him whatever she wanted.
Once everyone reached a consensus, they hid behind a large rock, firstly to shield themselves from the wind and snow.
Secondly, to avoid the mice and prevent unnecessary expenditure of energy.
Thirdly, to wait.
They wanted to see who could cause such a stir.
And make these mice flee in droves.
At this moment, Xu An was unaware, but the audience with God's perspective could see very clearly.
The person who made the mice flee was none other than Liu Chang and Hong Ying and their group.
Their team was moving from north to south.
They basically burned everything as they went.
Extremely overbearing.
Under Liu Chang's abilities, the other members of the team were almost reduced to uselessness.
Naturally, the team's structure was undergoing significant changes.
Liu Chang gradually became the leader.
But everyone within the group knew it in their hearts.
The reason Liu Chang's words carried weight now was purely due to his fire ability.
Many people who didn't know the inside story secretly resolved in their hearts that after they got out of here, they would definitely evolve their own abilities.
After all, who would want to be in a subordinate position?
In contrast, Hong Ying, who also possessed abilities, did not choose to use her abilities as recklessly as Liu Chang.
Liu Chang had spoken to Hong Ying about this matter more than once.
Initially, Hong Ying was still hesitant about whether to tell her close companion of nearly 20 years the truth of the matter.
But when Liu Chang kept talking about how Dr. Xia Jin...
And how they would suffer if they didn't follow the doctor's instructions...
In that instant, Hong Ying truly understood that the boy who had once been resolute, free, and brave had truly vanished in the long river of time.
Unlike the previous confrontation where Hong Ying hesitated to speak, this time Hong Ying deliberately withheld information.
She just looked at Liu Chang with a troubled expression and said, "I haven't been feeling well lately. You know that using abilities causes great damage to my body. Moreover, my ability is wood-element, which doesn't have much effect in a snowfield."
Liu Chang didn't suspect Hong Ying of any ulterior motives after hearing her words.
Besides, what Hong Ying said was indeed true.
Although all were abilities, there were still differences in the types and strengths of abilities.
Liu Chang's fire ability, for instance, was born for offense, with strong destructive power and high lethality.
People with this ability tended to have fiery tempers and personalities. Similarly, because it was an artificial ability,
The host would also be increasingly influenced by the fire ability with more frequent use.
Just like Liu Chang.
He might have been a bit quick-tempered before, but now Liu Chang's temper was extremely volatile.
Let alone outsiders, even towards Hong Ying, he was often impatient and spoke harshly.
Hong Ying naturally understood that Liu Chang had become this way due to the frequent use of his abilities.
And all of this was her doing.
Unlike Liu Chang's fire ability,
Hong Ying's ability was wood-element.
Although it also possessed a certain offensive power, it was greatly influenced by environmental factors.
The icy and snowy weather was precisely the nemesis of Hong Ying's ability.
However, the wood-element ability had a miraculous function: it could repair the body.
Not only could the wood spirit essence repair the host's body, but it could also repair the bodies of teammates.
