Such a united team is hard to find. He had been in many small teams before, but the harsh conditions there left him barely able to eat.

Having finally run into Ellie and her brother, Zhang Feng didn't want to be separated from them.

"Let's go take a look first. If we find any plants with low toxicity, we'll have to figure out how to store some food!"

Lin Xue had already packed her things. Seeing that the temperature outside was gradually dropping, she was the first to walk out of the cave.

She has systematic reminders, unlike others who have to probe little by little.

Because she left home earlier today than yesterday, the temperature was a bit higher, but that slight increase in temperature didn't stop her from continuing her journey.

It's better to give yourself more time; otherwise, if you rush and don't make it to the next cave, the biting cold will be even more unbearable.

Seeing that Lin Xue didn't come back after she went out, the others knew that the outside temperature was already comfortable.

Although everyone was quite curious about how Lin Xue calculated the temperature, the more sensitive her perception was, the better for their team.

The group walked quickly on the sun-baked ground, and thick scabs formed on the soles of everyone's feet.

So even though the ground is very hot, it can no longer damage the soles of their feet.

"From the outside, there aren't many plants in this forest, but I wonder what it's like inside?"

"We set off early today, why don't we go further in and see? If it doesn't work, we'll quickly come back out!"

Ellie looked around the woods; this was just the edge of the entire forest.

If they stay close to the mountainside, they won't get lost.

Getting lost in the forest is a terrifying thing; if they can't leave the woods before dark, death is the only thing waiting for them.

"Why don't I lead the way? I often go into the woods to find food, so I'm more familiar with this kind of environment!"

Seeing them wandering around aimlessly, Lin Xue stepped forward.

It wasn't that she wanted to show off, she just didn't want to waste too much time.

With 629 constant reminders, she can always find a safer path.

Today's time is a bit tight, we absolutely cannot waste any more time in the forest.

"Alright, then you lead the way. Everyone, stay close and watch your step!"

Ellie offered a reminder and then gave up her position as captain.

After Lin Xue walked ahead, with 629's constant prompting, she quickly entered the grove.

She wasn't walking close to the edge, because it was too dangerous there, with lots of sharp little grasses growing there.

If you get pricked by these grasses, your foot will definitely be pierced.

After walking for a while, Lin Xue stopped under a tree.

"Look at the fruit on this tree, it's green with white stripes, so it should be a low-toxicity fruit, right?"

In the wasteland world, only the greenish-blue fruits with white stripes are edible and low-toxicity fruits.

Red fruits are highly poisonous, while fruits of other colors contain varying amounts of toxins.

This is also a standard by which humans determine whether a fruit is edible.

"It is indeed edible fruit, but this tree is no ordinary tree. We probably won't be able to pick the fruit from it!"

These fruits all grow on the sprawling vines; if you were to be whipped by these vines, they could snap two of your ribs.

"You guys go ahead first, I'll try to pick some fruit!"

Lin Xue pointed to the road ahead, indicating that Ellie should lead the group there first.

She wandered around the tree twice. The tree was still asleep and had not yet woken up, but the grass under it kept changing into pointed shapes.

It's like it wants to pierce the soles of her feet at any moment so it can suck her blood!

"Host, why don't you just cut off a vine and carry it away? At your speed, the tree shouldn't be able to react!"

Seeing its host pacing anxiously under the big tree, 629 offered a suggestion.

"Wow, Tongzi, you're so smart!"

"That's a great idea! I can secretly cut down one of the trees while it's still asleep, and then run away. That should be enough to escape!"

Once she's out of the tree's attack range, she's safe.

If one didn't possess superhuman agility, an ordinary person wouldn't dare to do such a thing.

After all, everyone's reaction speed is different, and no one can guarantee that they can escape from these mutated plants.

"You all step back one more time!"

Lin Xue didn't dare to speak loudly, worried about waking the plants, so she kept gesturing to the people over there.

Ellie and the others understood and quickly retreated out of the tree's attack range.

Lin Xue leaped up to the tree and then swiftly chopped down a vine with her knife.

Before the vine could fall, she lightly touched the tree trunk with her toes and rushed towards the crowd.

"then!"

Sensing the wind behind her, Lin Xue knew that the big tree had awakened.

I never expected the tree to react so quickly. I thought I could escape with my light-footed skills, but it seems I overestimated myself.

629 was also watching nervously in the system space. If its bad idea caused the host to get hurt, it would be heartbroken.

When Ellie and the others saw a vine hurtling towards them, they quickly rushed forward and caught it in their arms.

Although the vine Lin Xue chose was neither thick nor very long, it was laden with a great many fruits.

There are at least seven or eight fruits, each about the size of a fist.

Seeing that the other person had caught the vine and started to retreat, Lin Xue turned around and swung a kitchen knife at the other vine that was being extended.

With the help of internal energy, the vine quickly fell to the ground.

However, it was punctured by the grass on the ground, and as the vine and the fruit on it instantly turned into dust, Lin Xue felt as if her blood was about to freeze.

Damn it, aren't you only good at piercing people's soles?

It has such great destructive power!

Lin Xue didn't dare to linger and quickly retreated.

They quickly caught up with the group that had been wandering aimlessly ahead.

"Don't run, we're out of their attack range!"

Lin Xue grabbed Ai Qing, who was about to step on the grass, and pulled him back.

"Everyone stop! There's a lot of grass ahead. How are we going to get across?"

Ellie, who had been leading the way, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lin Xue catch up.

"Distribute the fruit first, and everyone should keep some to prevent them from getting lost!"

Having witnessed the grass feeding on the fruit, Lin Xue dared not let Ai Li continue to brazenly carry the vines around town.

"These fruits were obtained at your risk of life, we cannot accept them!"

Ellie was about to refuse when Lin Xue waved her hand.

One for each of you, and the rest are mine!

Seeing her say that, everyone had no choice but to pick one from the vine.

The fruits are all roughly the same size, so there's no question of one being at a disadvantage or the other being clever.
