My carefree life in space

Chapter 31 A Small Lesson

On the ground, everyone searched carefully again, even turning over the low bushes, but still found nothing.

Left with no other option, they could only turn their attention to Mo Ze, hoping he might have some solutions.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on Mo Ze, Lin Shushu gave him a wink. Anyway, half a day had passed, and Xiao Qin had received enough of her lesson, so let's let her off the hook for now.

Receiving a meaningful look from Lin Shushu, Mo Ze cleared his throat and said, "We've searched this entire area, but haven't found any useful clues. There's only one possibility..."

At this point, Mo Ze stopped talking and looked down at the ground.

Everyone was completely confused and didn't understand what he meant.

Suddenly, Tang Yucheng had a flash of inspiration and instantly made a guess: Could it be?

Sure enough, Mo Ze continued, "After Xiao Qin disappeared, we immediately began searching. Logically, we should have found her quickly, but half a day has passed, and we've searched the entire surrounding area without success. That can only mean that our approach was wrong."

Upon hearing this, everyone recalled the way he looked at the ground and suddenly understood the unspoken meaning in his words.

"How do we find it? Do we have to dig three feet into the ground?"

“That search method is too slow. The longer it takes, the more dangerous it becomes for Xiao Qin.”

"Do you have any good ideas?"

Although they had a clear idea of ​​how to find the person, they couldn't figure out how. In the end, all eyes turned to Mo Ze.

Mo Ze stopped delaying and focused his mind, pretending to concentrate on perceiving the surroundings.

Seeing his appearance, everyone understood that he was using his mental power to search, and they all quieted down.

Before long, Mo Ze relaxed and pointed to a spot. "I can hear human breathing here."

Upon hearing this, everyone's spirits lifted. There were no other humans here besides them, so the breathing sound could only be Xiao Qin's.

Knowing the exact location makes things much easier.

Xiao Yi and Gu Heng were the first to take out their tools and start digging next to the area Mo Ze pointed out. Seeing this, the others also took out their own tools and came to help.

Xiao Qin has been trapped in this dark place for half a day, during which time she has suffered both physical and mental torment.

No matter how arrogant and ruthless she was, at the end of the day, she was still a noble lady who had never suffered. Being suddenly thrown into a pitch-black place with something crawling all over her was hellish torture for her.

Actually, the place she was in was not a dead end. The tree spirit had created a small space for her and thoughtfully extended its roots in various directions, leaving several passages, so Xiao Qin's breathing was not obstructed.

It can be said that if she had remained calm and patiently waited for rescue, she would not have suffered such mental torment.

"Found it, it's here!" Gu Heng exclaimed in surprise.

Hearing the voice so close to her ear, Xiao Qin, who was on the verge of collapse, immediately opened her eyes. At this moment, the voice was undoubtedly heavenly, awakening her from despair.

At that moment, she had no other thoughts but that she was finally saved.

Xiao Yi and Gu Heng carefully lifted Xiao Qin to the ground and removed the vines from her body.

Xiao Qin immediately burst into tears, her usual composure and politeness completely gone.

Seeing her like this, Lin Shushu's anger subsided, and she decided to treat this incident as a lesson for her.

As long as Xiao Qin stops causing trouble, their feud will end there. If she doesn't stop and still tries to get rid of him, then he shouldn't blame him for retaliating in kind.

After quickly treating the marks left by the vines on Xiao Qin's skin, at her request, the group decided to leave the area as quickly as possible.

Before leaving, Lin Shushu secretly channeled a large amount of spiritual energy into the tree spirit when no one was looking, helping it to remove impurities from its body.

Feeling the changes in its body, the tree spirit was overjoyed. It waved all its branches and leaves to express its gratitude to Lin Shushu.

The tree spirit, with its childlike mind, was unaware of the awe-inspiring sight it created when its towering branches swayed.

After this commotion, everyone quickened their pace to leave. Xiao Qin, in particular, who had just recovered, even pushed away Xiao Yi, who was supporting her, and ran off, abandoning all semblance of a noble lady. This showed just how deep the shadow the tree spirit had cast on her.

Seeing the slightly flustered steps of the crowd, Lin Shushu chuckled to herself. She waved to the tree spirit and followed with light steps.

Mo Ze stayed by her side the whole time, watching her every move with doting affection. As long as she was happy, he would fully support whatever she wanted to do.

After traveling for half a day, they finally got away from the big tree. It was already evening, so the group decided to rest for the night and continue their journey the next morning.

Given what happened today, and knowing that everyone else was tired, Mo Ze and Lin Shushu decided to keep watch so that they could get some rest.

Lying in the tent, Xiao Qin finally calmed down and carefully recalled what had happened that day.

When the vines wrapped around him, he reacted quickly and was about to cut them off when several more vines flew in from somewhere and tightly bound him, and then he was taken underground.

After being rescued, Xiao Qin inquired about the situation from Ning Shiyu and learned that, apart from herself, the others did not suffer a second attack after cutting the vines.

This left Xiao Qin completely puzzled as to why her experience was different from others. Could there be something she didn't know about it?

But if it was directed at me, then who did it? Who could control the vines to kidnap me?

What puzzled her even more was that if the other party was deliberately targeting her, why did they just trap her in one place?

She later learned that the things crawling all over her body were not snakes, and it was clear that the other party did not intend to kill her.

She wasn't without her doubts about Mo Ze. After all, besides Mo Ze, no one else present could have accomplished that. However, in her view, Mo Ze didn't seem to have any intention of targeting her.

No, there's another person, Lin Shushu. But does she have that ability? Xiao Qin had just dismissed her own guess when she suddenly remembered what had happened before.

He had sent men to kill her, but she returned unharmed. Meanwhile, there was still no news from his own people, as if nothing had happened.

Various thoughts swirled in her mind, making Xiao Qin's already exhausted body and overdrawn spirit even worse, and she didn't sleep well all night.

At this moment, she deeply regretted giving the pills to her teammates as a sign of concern, otherwise she wouldn't be in such a predicament and not have enough.

Outside the tent, Lin Shushu, who was keeping watch, was unaware that Xiao Qin had already become suspicious of her. However, even if she did know, she wouldn't care.
