Chapter 28: Terrified

The speed talisman is great. Once you stick it on your body, you can run at an incredible speed. Lin Xiaoman ran like crazy, not bothering to see what was behind her. She stopped only when the effect of the speed talisman disappeared and there was no movement behind her.

Standing on a flat ground and breathing heavily, the sun was shining brightly and unknown birds were chirping non-stop. Lin Xiaoman felt at ease instead.

In the forest, the silence is dangerous.

Suddenly, Lin Xiaoman held his breath and listened carefully. After a while, his face was full of smiles.

There is the sound of water!

She hurried towards the direction of the sound of water. Fortunately, it was not far away and she finally saw a stream.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Lin Xiaoman stood not far from the stream and looked into the water. It was so clear that he could even see the mud, stones, and swimming fish and shrimps under the water.

“Wow.”

Lin Xiaoman took out a clay jar from his storage bag, tied it with a rope, and threw the jar into the water with one end. When he felt the jar sink, he pulled it back and grabbed it.

There was only half a jar of water in it, but after testing it, she found that there was no danger in the water and breathed a sigh of relief.

He took out all the jars from the storage bag, filled them with water, and put them into the storage bag. Then he walked upstream along the stream to see if he could find a cave or something habitable along this line.

Perhaps God was kind to her. Half an hour later, she really found a cave. It was on a stone wall about a few hundred meters away from the stream. It was blocked by vines and she almost missed it at first.

The environment inside is pretty good. The space is not big, but it is dry, well-ventilated, and there are no signs of wild animals living there.

Lin Xiaoman strolled around here and decided to make this her residence for the next ten days. Of course, she hoped she could survive until then.

First, he cleaned up the cave, performing cleaning spells one after another, then ran out to find a pile of dry branches, put them on fire at the entrance of the cave, set up a simple rack, took out a small pot from the storage bag, poured water into it and started to boil water, then ran to the stream to wash the mushrooms and wild vegetables he had picked up earlier.

It’s a pity that there is no meat, but this is only the first day. Maybe she will be lucky enough to encounter a small wild beast later. It will be too difficult for her to defeat the monster.

When they returned to the cave, the water was boiling. Lin Xiaoman filled two clay pots with water, then put the wild vegetables into the pot and cooked them before taking them out.

At this time, Lin Xiaoman was really glad that he had some daily necessities with him in his storage bag, mainly pots, pans, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, etc.

She heated oil in a pan again, put the mushrooms in and stir-fried them, then added water to make soup. While the soup was cooking, Lin Xiaoman mixed the wild vegetables with sesame oil, soy sauce, chili and sesame seeds, and put them into her storage bag. Then she remembered that she had forgotten to cook.

Staring at the mushroom soup in the pot, Lin Xiaoman remembered that there were noodles in her storage bag, so she could cook some.

Unfortunately, she didn't bring much noodles, only one pound. If she ate them sparingly, it would last her two or three days. She also had dozens of pounds of spiritual rice in her bag. These were all spiritual rice produced in her fields. She put most of them in the bag to keep them fresh, for fear that they would get infested with insects if left outside for a long time.

Every time she took out 10 kilograms of spiritual rice and put it in the rice jar, she would cook and eat it on weekdays, and then take it out from her storage bag after she finished eating, so there was usually not much free space in her storage bag.

The noodles were cooked in a natural mushroom soup with a hint of spirituality, and her favorite chili oil was added. It was a pity that there were no eggs and chopped green onions, otherwise it would be more fragrant.

Lin Xiaoman had been climbing trees and running for his life this morning, and was already starving. When the noodles were cooked, Lin Xiaoman didn't wait any longer and started eating them immediately.

After dinner, it was already the time for her to get off work, the afternoon.

Lin Xiaoman was full and felt very comfortable. He leaned against the cave and didn't want to move, but of course that was impossible.

After cleaning up the pots and pans and putting them in the storage bag, Lin Xiaoman clapped his hands and prepared to go out and pick up some more dry firewood to burn.

Anyway, she had no plans to go out and fight. As for survival, the main thing was to survive. She just had to stay alive. If she got a ranking, she would get a reward and she would make money.

There were dense trees and many dead branches in Moqing Mountain. Lin Xiaoman did not dare to go far, so he picked them up in the nearby woods. Soon, he filled his storage bag.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Lin Xiaoman didn't dare to stay outside and hurried back to the cave.

Because of the fire, the cave was very dry. Lin Xiaoman took out a bunch of dry pine needles from his storage bag and spread them next to the fire. He then covered it with his own small quilt and sat cross-legged on it. He felt very comfortable. Not bad!

She placed the spirit gathering array around her body, activated it, and began to practice. It must be said that the spiritual energy in Mo Qingshan was much richer than that in Yuehe Village, and her training speed here was faster.

Nothing happened during the night. Lin Xiaoman was very satisfied with his training that night. The barrier to breakthrough was thinner.

He got up and folded the quilt. The fire at the entrance of the cave had gone out. Lin Xiaoman went out to the stream to wash up and brought back a pot of water. He still had the dry firewood he picked up yesterday.

She prepared porridge in the morning and ate it with pickled radish. It was sour and spicy, and the rice porridge was sweet and delicious. It was simply wonderful.

Lin Xiaoman ate breakfast happily, feeling like she was on vacation at home. Every day, apart from eating, she practiced, but she didn't dare to draw talismans here.

If only it could continue like this, on the tenth day, she could go out and get her reward.

Unfortunately, things went against his wishes. Before Lin Xiaoman finished his breakfast, he suddenly heard a rustling sound. Lin Xiaoman froze at that moment. He didn't bother to eat. He quickly put the things into the storage bag and immediately held a speed talisman and a fire bomb talisman in his hands.

She can now sense everything within a radius of 20 meters, but she didn't notice anything at this moment, but the sound she heard in her ears was real.

Lin Xiaoman tensed up all over, pursed her lips, hesitated, and carefully identified the direction of the sound. She couldn't just sit there and wait for death, hoping for luck. She felt that she must be being targeted, so she decided to run.

She's good at escaping!

Count to yourself: 1, 2... run!

He slapped the speed talisman on his leg, then immediately took out another speed talisman and ran madly in the opposite direction of the sound.

Almost at the moment she ran out of the cave, the rustling sound became louder, and at the same time a fishy wind blew over.

Ugh!!!

Lin Xiaoman was retching at that moment. This "poison gas" attack was simply... she was completely defenseless!

Looking back, Lin Xiaoman was so frightened that he quickly threw the fire bomb talisman in his hand back and stuck the speed talisman on his other leg, hoping to get double the blessing and increase his speed.
