  "Can you use these basic sword techniques and a few pieces of inferior protective gear?" Tang Tian asked, holding up the two books on basic sword techniques and several pieces of subpar protective clothing, addressing the summoned troops.

  Tang Tian's words made the soldiers pause for a moment, and then several long knife-wielding soldiers came to Tang Tian's front, kneeling on one knee and respectfully said: "Master, great righteousness, we are willing to die for it, please bestow your knife skills upon us."

  "Alright, there are only two copies of the beginner's knife technique and a few pieces of protective clothing. You can each have one for now, and we'll give some to others later." With that, Tang Tian distributed the beginner's knife technique and protective clothing among them.

  They took the knife method and protective clothing, but the protective clothing was worn inside the leather armor. The knife method wasn't learned like their own, but instead they flipped through it page by page. In the end, each person looked at one side, and the two beginner's knife methods were taken away by the two long knife soldiers' captain.

  Tang Tian's heart moved slightly as he opened his true eyes and gazed at those soldiers who had witnessed the knife technique.

  "Long Sword Warrior, Level 5, Strength 18/10, Constitution 15/10. Spirit 9/10, Agility 15/10, Equipment: Long Sword, Leather Armor, Skills: Basic Skill - First-Level Swordsmanship, Proficiency 00/100, Each increase in proficiency boosts combat power by one percent, Maximum proficiency doubles combat power."

  "Huh? So the troops summoned can also learn skills, but the direction of learning is not quite the same. And after these soldiers read the skill book, they gained a level 1 knife technique skill, and even added a proficiency level." Tang Tian thought to himself in puzzlement as he saw the changes in the long swordsmen's attributes.

  When these soldiers all "learned" the first level of knife method, two decurions came to Tang Tian's side and said respectfully: "Thank you, sir. However, we have one more impolite request, and we hope that you will agree."

  "It's okay, go ahead and say it. I'll try my best to agree to whatever you can do," At this time, Tang Tian was also very curious about what these people needed, after all, they were all "system" products.

  "Your Excellency, may I ask if we can collect the corpses of these demonic fish and take them back, so that our soldiers can also eat meat?" he said, still looking at Tang Tian with a nervous expression.

  "Huh? Do these soldiers also need to eat vegetables? I thought they only ate rice. And can the meat of these mutant creatures be eaten?", Tang Tian wondered, then waved his hand and said: "Alright, so Squad Six of the Long Blade Battalion will stay behind to collect the corpses of the mutated beasts... err, fish, and transport them back for everyone to eat as food. However, you must pay attention to your safety at all times, this surrounding area is full of mutant beasts everywhere, hmm, or what you call 'yao shou'".

  Upon hearing Tang Tian's words, not only the several dozen squad leaders but also everyone else's eyes lit up, unable to conceal their inner joy. "Thank you, milord! Milord has thought of us, we are willing to die for you!"

  At this moment, these people hurriedly expressed their gratitude.

  Tang Tian suddenly thought about it and understood, after all, they are also human beings who want to eat well. It's probably because he only gave them rice before that they were eating plain rice.

  "Alright, Squad Six of the Longsword Guards will stay behind. The rest of you follow me and let's continue on our way." With that, Tang Tian waved his hand and led the others forward, after all, his goal for today was to head to Tian Shui University, he didn't want to waste too much time here.

  After the battle with the mutated fish, Tang Tian and his group became even more cautious, after all, no one knew when other mutated creatures would rush out from hidden places.

  However, Tang Tian and his group had been heading to the place where the mutated black snake and golden eagle were fighting all along. Along the way, they didn't encounter any other mutated beasts, which made Tang Tian very puzzled. According to reason, there should be mutated centipedes and mutated rats on the road, but not a single one was encountered.

  But Tang Tian couldn't help but attribute all of this to his good luck, after all, if he were to encounter these things, even though he's not afraid now, it would still be a troublesome matter.

  "In less than a day, the two massive mutated beast corpses were completely devoured. How many mutated creatures must have done this?" Looking at where the two mutated creatures died yesterday, only two huge skeletons remained now. Tang Tian thought to himself with a hint of surprise.

  "We are about to enter the jungle now, everyone must be on high alert. The jungle is full of hidden dangers, so it's best if we all keep quiet as much as possible." Having passed by two skeletons, Tang Tian and his men arrived at the edge of the jungle, instructing these soldiers thus.

  "Yes, we understand." They replied in a low voice.

  "Let's go, we're entering the jungle, everyone must be careful of the surrounding plants, some plants are also very dangerous", Tang Tian reminded once again, and then led the way into the jungle.

  After a few days, Tang Tian once again entered the jungle. The first time he entered was on the second day after the apocalypse. At that time, the jungle just felt like an original forest that had not been stepped on by humans for many years, appearing quiet and dangerous.

  But when Tang Tian re-entered the jungle, he was suddenly stunned by the jungle in front of him.

  Because, after several days of time, the jungle has undergone tremendous changes again, with countless thick and thin vines intertwined everywhere, and many plants that Tang Tian had never seen or heard of grew among them.

  Some trees are hundreds or even thousands of meters tall, some leaves are as big as houses, and some are needle-shaped, but these are not the most magical.

  The most magical ones are those that glow automatically, flashing in the dark jungle, beautiful and magnificent, just like a fairy tale world.

  "What the...? Am I really on Pandora?" Tang Tian weakly cursed, standing in the midst of the jungle.

  The dense jungle that blocks out the sky and sun, mysterious and serene, yet beautiful and magnificent. Isn't this the prototype of Pandora? When did the jungle evolve into this state? Has it only been a few days? Two or three days? If given a bit more time, what will it become? The World of Warcraft?

  Tang Tian didn't dare think about it anymore.

  "It won't do, this time after returning from Tianshui University, I must recruit more troops and find a way to cut down the forest and open up a path to the outside world, otherwise we'll be trapped in Shijiazhuang Village", Tang Tian said fiercely in his heart.

  "Everyone be extra careful, the jungle is full of dangers," Tang Tian instructed, and then cautiously led the way to the other end of the jungle. Since they had passed through here once before, he roughly knew the direction.

  Tang Tian also knew that in the jungle, the more beautiful something was, the more dangerous it was, and he silently warned others not to touch the surrounding plants.

  "Master, you'd better take the middle path, if something unexpected happens to you like this, we'll be doomed," said the two decurions beside Tang Tian with concern.

  Tang Tian thought for a moment and nodded: "This is also good", and then came into the crowd.

  It's not that Tang Tian is afraid of death, but it's not worth risking his own life to play a joke. These soldiers can be summoned again after they die, but if he himself dies, then everything will be lost.

  As one person walked deeper, the jungle became more and more quiet...
