Spirit summons? I want to do it myself!

As long as the need for water is not urgent, finding a place to camp at night becomes much simpler, and you only need to consider safety.

So Lido and her friends found a huge rock that was sheltered from the wind and prepared to camp in front of it.

At this time, they had walked four or five kilometers along the branch before they found such a good place.

The rock is very large, and this is only the part that is exposed above the ground. The bulk of it is still buried underground. It is probably a piece of underground bedrock that protrudes from the ground. It is quite solid, so there is no need to worry about the risk of collapse.

The orientation of the rocks is also very clever, just blocking the strong wind that roars through the valley, and they are slightly concave inward, which not only blocks the annoying wind, but also slightly blocks the falling rain or dew from above, also allowing everyone to have one less direction to be alert in at night.

This is very important for Lido and the others to spend the night, especially to shelter from the wind.

The wind in the mountains is extremely strong. When the sun is strong during the day, you will only feel cool, but at night, the wind is three times stronger than during the day, which can make people shiver with cold bones.

At night, bonfire is the most important thing for everyone. Whether it is the warmth provided by the bonfire, the cooking of food, the lighting provided by the bonfire and the deterrence of wild beasts, they are all guarantees for everyone to spend the night safely.

If everyone can't find a sheltered place, there's no way to keep the bonfire going, and even if it can be lit it will go out quickly.

Without a campfire, the temperature difference between day and night in the mountains is enough to make everyone thirsty. Even if everyone has excellent physical fitness, they cannot be completely immune to the risk of hypothermia.

But tonight, Lido and the others didn't have to worry about this. They quickly cleaned up the camp, set up two tents against the rocks, and then built a large fire pit with stones on the ground a little further away from the tents and successfully lit a bonfire.

After that, I threw some mosquito repellent herbs into the campfire and sprinkled some powder around the camp to repel snakes, insects, rats and ants. Finally, it looked like a decent camp.

The wind from the valley passed through the huge rocks, and by the time it reached Lido and the others, it was just a gentle breeze that brushed their faces. It brought the warmth of the campfire and quickly warmed everyone up.

Everyone picked up some flat stones from the surrounding area to serve as tables and benches, and started to boil water, melt the ice and cook food.

The Hengduan Mountains are so quiet at night that the few remaining chirping insects and calls of some nocturnal birds in this season seem as clear as if they were right next to your ears. From time to time, you can also hear the howling of animals coming from other places.

In this atmosphere, everyone talked in low voices, ate and drank silently, and discussed who would keep watch.

After dinner, Lido planned to draw the last route everyone had walked on the map. In theory, if Lido and another person could watch over the first half of the night, she could both draw the map and keep watch. However, Lido was not reassured because the danger was more concentrated in the second half of the night.

After the meal, everyone cleaned up and prepared to rest. In the end, everyone decided that Liduo and Yunxi would not participate in the night watch. Liduo could participate in the night watch at irregular intervals according to her own wishes, and Yunxi would just be responsible for taking care of herself.

So the partners for the night watch are Feng Wuya and Shi Lei, Wanshi and Hu Zhongyan, Yan Chaoyang and Jin Feng, Huo Feng and Lei Qianjun.

Tonight, Feng Wuya and Shi Lei will be on guard for the first half of the night, and Huo Feng and Lei Qianjun will be on guard for the second half. Of course, Li Duo plans to take a rest after finishing painting, and then wait for Huo Feng and the others to get up to keep watch, then she will secretly keep watch in the tent. Mainly, Li Duo wants to observe everyone's performance while they are on guard.

Liduo was already an experienced draftsman, so she finished the drawing quickly, went into her own little tent to start her daily routine of training, and then rested.

Feng Wuya and Shi Lei began their night watch, and each of them summoned an elf to be by their side.

Yes, you must summon the elves by your side when you are on night watch. Only in this way can you react in time when you encounter unexpected situations.

Feng Wuya summoned his full-level Wendy elf, and Shi Lei summoned the Rock elf whose innate magic skill was Stonewall. This combination of one long-range and one close combat, one attack and one defense is very reasonable.

In fact, everyone chose their partners according to this principle when assigning night watch shifts. Only Huo Feng had a hot temper and was careless, so everyone was afraid that Shi Lei and the other three melee fighters would not be able to restrain him. So they teamed him up with Lei Qianjun, so that someone could stop him when Huo Feng got angry.

However, everything has its pros and cons. Summoning the elves can make it easier for the night watchers to deal with emergencies and provide an extra pair of eyes to help watch the night. However, if there are monsters passing by nearby, they will be more likely to be attracted. In other words, the camp will be more vulnerable to monster attacks, not to mention that the place where Lido and the others are camping is not far from the monster passage.

However, it is more important to increase the power of vigilance, so that if the summoner is attacked suddenly, as long as he does not die immediately, the elves nearby can rescue him immediately.

Otherwise, even if the summoner is not dead after being attacked, he will most likely not be able to concentrate on summoning the elves to save himself. In this case, it is very likely that the summoner will be attacked by surprise and will have no power to fight back!

Therefore, compared with possible monster attacks, the summoner's life naturally takes priority. After all, the shining bonfire is so conspicuous in the Hengduan Mountains at night that any existence nearby with a little strength would probably come to take a look. Maybe some brave or foolish ones would even think of taking action.

Everyone else had fallen asleep. Feng Wuya and Shi Lei were still whispering to each other while adding some firewood to the campfire at first, but then they each stood silently guarding the fire pit, staring around vigilantly, and occasionally looking up at the white and purple moons and the stars in the sky.

By the way, those firewoods were collected when everyone was clearing the campsite. In order to avoid blocking the view, they cut down the branches of the surrounding trees and only kept a little bit of the treetops. The cut branches were chopped down by the Red Lotus Elves summoned by Fire Wind, and a flame burned the leaves and small twigs. The remaining dry large branches became firewood to keep the bonfire burning, which was killing two birds with one stone.

Now Feng Wuya and Shi Lei were staring closely at the gaps between the bare tree trunks, on guard against anything rushing towards the camp from the forest.

At first, there was no unusual movement in the surrounding mountains and forests, but when it passed midnight, the sounds suddenly became more frequent!

Feng Wuya and Shi Lei's nerves immediately tensed up, with their weapons in hand. The elves beside them also entered combat mode, waiting for those things to show up!
