Looking at the vanishing clouds and dusk sky, Li Yun frowned and recalled the system notification. 50 tokens minimum, 80% group survival. That means there will be dangers that will cause their group harm and might be life-dangering.
To survive, not only do they need to find the tokens but also be on the lookout for possible hidden dangers.
Frowning, The time limit is 7 days, out of that a day has already passed, so they have 6 days.
Let's pray that the difficulty doesn't rise.
However, Li Yun prayed a little too early, that night, Lisa and Sarah developed a high fever. The atmosphere at night in the jungle was already cold and they had soaked all day in the rain.
"Brother Li...My sister..."
Alex was so worried that he sat there grabbing his sister's hand for the whole night like an idiot. Ayesha tried to look for any materials that could help but to her disappointment nothing could be found.
Li Yun patted Alex.
"Don't worry, Nothing will happen."
The words were comforting but the situation didn't change a bit. Suddenly, he was patted on shoulder and looking at the side, it was Arial.
She had a rare serious face since they met.
"Let me go and find some herbs."
Li Yun frowned. Even Kim Jae-In disagreed.
"It's too dark, the visibility is almost nothing and we don't know if there are animals near here."
Arial listened quietly and patiently and then said to Li Yun.
"Brother Li, Believe me. I have seen some herbs that can help us on the way to the cave."
Rationally, Li Yun knew that this decision is risky. He looked at Lisa and Sarah who were unconscious and then at Alex who was looking at him with hopeful eyes.
Kim Woojin and Su Mingji glanced at each other. This matter will decide if they will follow Li Yun's orders in future or not.
The two knew they were different and even if they had to come under someone's commands, then that person has to be perfect.
And the definition of perfect is different for everyone.
Li Yun knew nothing of their inner decisions and if he did he won't wonder about what he should do. What he does is always unplanned or planned on the spot.
"Alright, However Brother Kim and Brother Xie will go with you."
Arial relaxed and nodded. Xie Zhili stood up.
"Xiao Yun, You should relax. You too, Alex."
They left under the cover of the night, Su Mingji was satisfied with his approach but Kim Woojin frowned. He easily agrees to everyone.
Though he doesn't seem like a pushover and has the confidence to challenge the unknown, he is still wet behind the ears.
He sighed.
Su Mingji glanced at him and said in a low voice.
"It's the experience that he lacks. He will be wonderful in near times."
The two looked at Li Yun who was advising Arial and others to take care, and they smiled.
"He has us. Let's make sure that he can do what others can never."
Su Mingji chuckled.
"Mn. Likewise."
--
Arial and others walked towards the original path they came from.
"Wait, I see something shinning over there!"
Xie Zhili suddenly stopped and pointed to a tall oak tree nearby. The three of them looked up at the tree and really saw a blinding reflection of something.
"Is that the survival token? We actually found one so easily?"
Kim Jae-In frowned.
"That tree is too tall and difficult to climb."
Arial laughed.
"Don't worry brother Kim, I grew up climbing trees."
"But Still..."
"Hehe, Just watch me, You guys are here. Nothing will happen really!"
And so Arial smoothly and professionally climbed that oak tree, she reached a tree branch and her hand slipped all of a sudden.
"Arial!"
"Be careful!!"
But instead of falling, she pushed herself against the tree trunk and once again grabbed the tree branch and smiled at the two down.
"Sorry, Sorry, It's been a while so I didn't get a feel~"
Kim Jae-In and Xie Zhili sighed with relief and saw the girl jumping on the tree branches like a monkey.
The two:...A brat.
Soon Arial got the card, it was really a survival token and there was written...
[Survival Token-Red]
[1000 Points.]
Wow!
So these survival tokens are the points?
She quickly climbed down and saw the two looking worried at her.
"Hehe, I am fine. Look what a good thing."
Xie Zhili looked at her messy face and clothes and shook his head.
"Whatever, As long as you are fine."
The three looked at the card, except for the color and the points written there was nothing on it.
"This is it?"
"Maybe there is something but it is too dark for us to see?"
Like this they gave the card to Arial and left to find the herbs.
After a while, Arial collected 7 different sort of herbs and they hurried back, their clothes were already muddy and the chill of the night had them shiver.
On the way back, Kim Jae-In made some rough-looking wooden bowls to hold water from the river so the time it took was even more.
Li Yun stood in front of the cave entrance with no expression. His eyes were almost cold.
It's been 3 hours and the three hadn't returned.
Si Xing prayed for the three because Li Yun looked so scary that it caused him shivers from so far.
When the three appeared after a while they were a bit guilty.
"Hey, Brother Li, You were waiting for us? Hehe, see what we found."
Li Yun glanced at Arial up and down, she was so messy and looked like a dirty brat and then he looked at Kim Jae-In and Xie Zhili.
After confirming they were uninjured he moved away.
"You came so early that I was not even worried for a moment."
The sarcasm was not deep but it still hit their conscience. Arial cleared her throat.
"Brother Li, we wanted to come early but we had to boil the herbs and drink, so we had to make some bowls and collect the water, Oh! And also see! We found a token!"
Now, Li Yun was really worried. What the hell did they do in 3 hours.
Lin Xueyin took a clean jacket and gave it to Arial.
"Go and warm yourself, Brother Xie, Brother Kim, you too."
Xie Zhili nodded.
Kim Jae-In thanked him but decided to let the girls and sick people get warm.
Li Yun looked at the herbs.
"Ocimum sanctum, Momordica charantia, Tinospora cordifolia, Cymbopogon citratus, Carica papaya, Eucalyptus globulus, Nepeta cataria....They all sure can reduce fever, you...when did you observe this all?"
Arial was shocked.
"These names are so difficult!! Ah, I found them while walking here, I am a wildlife adventurer, I can do more than you think Brother Li."
She smiled softly.
"You can believe me in the Jungle."
At this moment, No one knew that in the future, She will be called the Queen Of Nature or Beast Empress. However that's for later.
