Live Strong in the Wilderness

Chapter 520: Xu Yi’s Hundred Treasure Bag

"Xu Yi, should we wait for them?" Lu Ke noticed that Li Kang and the others were getting farther away, so she asked.

Because Li Kang and the others weren’t strong enough, their telekinesis couldn’t sustain them for long.

"No need, they have our location." Xu Yi didn’t want to waste any time.

Even though they were now in the territory of level 4 Fierce Beasts, this wasn’t a reason to be optimistic.

Seeing Xu Yi’s answer, Lu Ke fell silent and continued on their journey.

They indeed encountered many Fierce Beasts on the way, with much greater frequency than before.

However, Xu Yi and the others didn’t engage them.

As long as he released the aura of a level 5 Divine Master, these Fierce Beasts would frantically flee, avoiding any conflict with Xu Yi and the others.

Xu Yi didn’t have the time for a fight; he wanted to reach the territory of the level 5 Fierce Beasts as quickly as possible.

That was his main battleground.

For now, they had enough food and water to last fifty days without doing anything else.

Hunting level 4 Fierce Beasts was pointless and would only waste time.

The sky quickly darkened.

After nightfall, Xu Yi and the group stopped traveling.

With the intensifying cold wind, they had to halt their progress.

To resist the cold wind, they dug a snow cave in the snow.

The snow here was very deep, though no one knew exactly how deep. After all, Xu Yi hadn’t used his Spiritual Power to sense it.

After they finished digging the snow cave, Xu Yi handed out some rations.

Each person received a box to choose their preferred flavor.

These were specially made for them.

The bags could be collected and melted together later to create other tools, so everyone was told to keep them.

The food was high in calories, meeting their needs.

The flavors also excited them.

The last time they ate these was about sixty to seventy days ago.

Each of them almost cried from emotion as they ate.

No one asked Xu Yi what he was eating, so they didn’t know.

After finishing dinner, everyone chatted for a while, sharing their thoughts on how the food tasted.

After an hour of chatting, everyone started their training.

"System, time to check in."

Today marked the 205th day of checking in. Initially, it was planned for five or six in the morning, after sunrise.

However, Xu Yi and his group appeared in the afternoon, and the time was adjusted to noon.

Fortunately, after Xu Yi checked in, there was no interruption on the date display. Otherwise, having to start checking in from the beginning would have been incredibly frustrating for him.

After completing the 205th day of checking in, Xu Yi resumed his training.

Even though the training here was less effective for him, Xu Yi didn’t stop training.

He used his Spiritual Power to sense the snow, discovering it was over 30 meters deep.

The exact depth was unknown, as his mental perception only extended up to 60 meters.

The snow beneath was so dense that it affected Xu Yi’s Spiritual Power, limiting it to 30 meters.

Even so, it was amazing.

Thirty meters of snow was something he had never encountered before.

The night grew colder.

They couldn’t even take off their helmets, or their breath would instantly freeze. Their helmets were specially designed to handle this issue.

Thanks to these helmets, their breathing was smooth. Otherwise, relying on telekinesis constantly would be a huge challenge and burden.

With the support of human technological civilization, things were much easier for them now.

Their clothes were essentially sleeping bags with smart sensors.

Once they lay down, it automatically inflated, enveloping them.

Compared to the Spirit Race’s, it was obviously inferior, but it was the pinnacle of current human technology.

However, researchers were still working, especially since Xu Yi mentioned that someone would return before the next hundred days.

Xu Yi and his group were the pioneers and hope of humanity, and they had to ensure their comfort, allowing them to have more energy for training and becoming stronger.

It wasn’t just the challengers who were making efforts, but also the technologists and elites from all walks of life.

Before they knew it, morning had arrived.

Another day passed at the new challenge point.

"System, time to check in." After completing the 206th day of checking in, Xu Yi exited the snow cave.

Xu Yi was considering Body Refining Technique.

If erecting a tent wasn’t possible, he’d have to take it out for training.

If he explicitly warned that Mages below level 5 shouldn’t train, and ordinary humans still insisted on it, it wouldn’t be his fault.

Some people just couldn’t be stopped from paying some form of ’intelligence tax.’

Especially the odd ones whom you warn against certain actions, only to have them do it as soon as you turn your back, resulting in their demise.

This could only be seen as natural selection. Such individuals’ genes wouldn’t be passed on and would naturally be wiped out.

After Xu Yi left the snow cave, the others gradually woke up too.

Xu Yi set up his tent because setting it up was the only way to wash up and cook breakfast.

Otherwise, nothing could begin.

"Wow, Xu Yi, what did you bring back this time? Are those electric stoves?" Wang Jin asked as he noticed two stove-like devices with large pots on top.

"Yes, developed especially for us. Our tents are basically solar panels and batteries. You could say this tent is worth millions; it’s a real luxury." Xu Yi joked.

By ’value,’ he meant the cost, not anything else.

Such tents weren’t in abundance; he just got 22 of them, no more.

Two per person was the maximum allocation.

Of course, compared to the Spirit Race, they were still lacking.

Once their tents were up, the temperature inside was very comfortable. Here, it was still below zero, and warming it thoroughly would take some time.

"Seems like you brought lots of amazing things, like a character with a Hundred Treasure Bag, always surprising us," Lu Ke commented, winking at Xu Yi.

Then, everyone started brushing their teeth and washing their faces. Xu Yi even gave everyone an electric toothbrush, showing genuine thoughtfulness.

"Is this even a wilderness challenge? It’s more like a wilderness vacation. Good thing we weren’t left at the previous spot, or we’d be living like cavemen," Liu Li joked.

After washing up, Liu Li and the others started cooking breakfast.

However, some ’guests’ soon arrived.
