He took out another protective suit and put it on, covering himself completely.

"Fugui, let's change direction and go to the wooded area over there. There will be more shade and the sunlight won't shine directly in."

"Okay, let's go." Huang Fugui jumped onto the wild duck's back, waiting for Jian Ning to get on as well, and meowed twice.

The wild duck immediately changed direction and flew directly towards the western forest, but when it reached the edge of the forest, it refused to go in.

It was squawking and flapping its wings incessantly.

"Fugui, what is it saying?" Jian Ning couldn't understand a word, so she had to ask Huang Fugui.

"The duck said that the king of this forest is a huge leopard with a terrible temper."

If we disturb its rest, its life will be in danger. So it dares not go in, but it can wait for us outside the woods.

"Master, shall we go in? It's all so gloomy in here, it looks kind of scary." Huang Fugui peeked into the woods. The trees were incredibly tall.

It was a truly towering tree. You couldn't see the top of the tree when you looked up; it blocked out the sun, and sunlight could only filter through the leaves to create scattered shadows.

"Is there anything good inside? If so, let's go in and take a look. If not, let's hurry up and leave." Jian Ning wasn't afraid of death; the only way to get out of here was to fail the challenge.

Huang Fugui needs to be more careful; it should only have one life, unlike hers.

"Good stuff, of course there is."

This place has existed for countless millennia. The deeper into the forest, the more treasures you'll find. But can you manage with your physique? If you can't walk, I certainly can't carry you!"

Huang Fugui knew his small size; he was only good at finding good things, and his other uses were limited.

"I don't need you, but Fugui, think of this: if you encounter danger, go into the space immediately. No,

I'll take a spirit beast pouch instead; it'll be easier for you to get in here.

As Jian Ning spoke, she took out a spirit beast pouch from her storage bracelet and hung it on her waist. She was worried that if she lost consciousness or died instantly, she wouldn't be able to teleport out safely.

If Huang Fugui can't keep up, he'll have to stay here. It's hard to say what dangers might arise then.

"Master, don't worry, I'm much better than you now. Come on, let's go inside and take a look." This time, Huang Fugui didn't fly, but obediently came in and followed Jian Ning's feet.

Because the weeds in the forest were taller than Jian Ning, she had to take out a kitchen knife and cut the grass while following the direction Huang Fugui had indicated where there were good things.

The place is teeming with spiritual herbs and medicines; you practically have to bend down and dig them up every two steps.

Jian Ning was both happy that she was about to make a fortune and exhausted.

Without spiritual energy, the body's own strength was far too weak. Thankfully, Huang Fugui was there to help. While busy at work, he suddenly felt a gust of wind beside his ear.

Jian Ning instinctively bent down, turned around, and broke out in a cold sweat. A huge green praying mantis was waving its two barbed scythes on its forelegs, its triangular head with eyes staring fiercely at Jian Ning.

Having missed its prey with its first strike, the mantis was clearly furious. Waving its forelegs, it charged forward again.

"Master, run!" If you can't beat them, you have to run. Huang Fugui darted away in a flash.

Jian Ning didn't move. There was no way to run away. The dense grass completely restricted her running speed. She threw out a Firebird Talisman and an Earth Shield Talisman.

Almost instantly, an earthen wall rose between Jian Ning and the mantis, followed by firebirds spitting flames, one after another, flying towards the mantis.

Its forelimbs' sickles slashed into the earthen wall, and it couldn't pull them off at all. It had nowhere to run, and in just a short while, it was burned to a crisp by the flames spewed by the firebird.

"Master, you are really amazing. Even without spiritual energy, it didn't stop you from killing it."

Upon hearing that the battle had ended, Huang Fugui quickly ran back, jumped onto the earthen wall, and began to fawn over the mantis's corpse on the ground.

I guess it's because it ran away first and felt a little guilty.

Jian Ning ignored it, walked around the earthen wall, picked up the dead mantis, peeled off its charred shell to reveal the meat inside, and the rich aroma of meat made Huang Fugui's mouth water.

"Master, can we eat this?"

"It should be edible. I remember that mantises are not poisonous, and their meat is rich in protein and amino acids."

It has the effects of calming the nerves, stopping convulsions, detoxifying, and reducing swelling. Here, have a taste. Jian Ning broke off a piece of meat and placed it in front of Huang Fugui, who swallowed it in one gulp.

"It's delicious. It would be even better with some more seasoning." Just as she finished speaking, she saw the wild duck that had refused to come in earlier stretching its neck and sneaking over.

Jian Ning found it a bit funny; this one was actually a glutton too. Seeing its little eyes fixed on the mantis meat in her hand, she even peeled off some meat and fed it to it.

This praying mantis is large and has a lot of flesh on its body.

The three of them took turns eating, one bite at a time, and it took them more than ten minutes to finish it.

This time, the duck didn't leave either. It had just realized that while its life was important, good food was even more precious.

There's not necessarily any danger in staying by this human's side, after all, she has so many strange abilities.

So they followed the two as they walked, digging for medicinal herbs. With the help of the wild ducks, the three of them moved much faster. Although they encountered some insects whose names they didn't know, they didn't attack them much.

They were just observing cautiously from a distance, seemingly quite curious about the three alien species.

Before we knew it, we had arrived in the heart of the forest.

"Master, that's the Three-Tailed Phoenix Sunflower!" Huang Fugui's voice was full of surprise.

"Yes, it looks very similar."

Jian Ning had only seen this magical herb in an illustrated guide; it was said to be extremely rare, appearing only once every ten thousand years.

This species has become extinct in the cultivation world, yet I never expected to encounter such a large patch of it here. Moreover, it blooms exceptionally brightly, resembling a sea of ​​red fire.

"Let's go, let's dig them all out."

Huang Fugui excitedly did a somersault on the ground. Its inherited memories told it that this three-tailed phoenix sunflower would greatly benefit its bloodline. Such a large patch would be enough for it to eat for a while.

It didn't want to run over at all, and flapped its wings and flew forward. Jian Ning reached out, but couldn't catch it.

She didn't dare to shout loudly. To this day, she still remembers what the wild duck said at the beginning: this forest has an owner, and that leopard is lurking nearby. If it is disturbed, it will definitely be a fierce battle.
