After loading enough salt ore, Meng Yuqing and Xuan came out of the salt cave.
"Let's go, let's go back." Meng Yuqing waited for Xuan to move the stone back to the cave entrance, then climbed onto Xuan's back and said softly.
Hearing his words, Xuan Wei swung his tail and asked hesitantly,
"Would you like to visit somewhere else?"
"Is this convenient?" Meng Yuqing was a little hesitant. He only found yellow and white flowers on the way here. Maybe he could find something else if he changed the route.
"It's no problem. We just take another route back. The distance is about the same." Xuan answered affirmatively.
"Okay, let's take another route."
The two of them ate something quick and then set off on their return journey.
The new route did not pass through the grassland. After leaving the salt mine area, it entered the jungle and remained in the jungle all the way.
Xuan himself prefers the jungle to the grassland.
The first half of the return journey was unexpectedly smooth, and Meng Yuqing even discovered radish seedlings in this world.
Although the system said that this was not called a radish, Meng Yuqing refused to listen and said that this was an enlarged version of a radish from another world.
I excitedly dug up a lot of them with their roots and stuffed them directly into the warehouse to take back and plant them.
Radishes grow faster than potatoes and sweet potatoes, and they're hardy. Plant them in the soil right away! While you're waiting to collect seeds, you'll have just enough time to plant a wave of winter radishes.
On the sixth day of traveling through the jungle, Meng Yuqing found a kind of grass, tendon-reinforcing grass, through exploration.
For orcs who fight frequently, this herb is as effective as hemostatic grass.
It can reconnect broken soft tissues, such as tendons, ligaments and other soft tissues.
He knew that some orcs in the tribe had hands or feet whose bones were not broken, but whose soft tissues were broken. Although there was no problem from the outside, their hands and feet were weak or very slow.
He excitedly called out to Xuan immediately.
"Xuan!!! Wait a minute, I found another very important herb!"
"What?" Xuan stopped immediately and looked at him expectantly.
"Reinforcement grass! Aren't there orcs in the tribe whose limbs are clearly uninjured but who are powerless and unresponsive? It's just broken tendons. This can reconnect them, and they can recover!"
"Where is it!" Xuan said anxiously.
"Over there, behind that tree!" Meng Yuqing didn't say anything more and directly pointed out the direction.
Xuan immediately ran over and asked Meng Yuqing to get off him.
While digging the grass, Xuan stood beside him vigilantly.
The jungle is not a grassland, wild animals are easier to hide, and he needs to be more vigilant.
Meng Yuqing also knew the current situation, and he dug out the tendon-renewing grass with nimble hands and feet.
Each blade of grass was accompanied by a large piece of soil and stuffed directly into the warehouse.
Just when I was digging the last plant, I suddenly heard Xuan's urgent shout.
"There's a wild beast, climb up the tree."
Immediately afterwards, Xuan picked up the back of his animal skin coat, and before he could react, he was brought to a branch several dozen meters high by Xuan.
Meng Yuqing came back to his senses and found that Xuan was looking down seriously. He followed Xuan's gaze.
A large beast!
He had been here for so long, but apart from the time when the tribe used a large beast to test the medicinal properties of the black thorn grass, he had never seen any other living large beasts.
Xuan stood up on his hind legs, placed his front paws on the tree trunk, and placed Meng Yuqing on a higher branch, while he himself remained on the original branch.
"You stay on this branch and don't move. No other beasts will climb up here. I have to go down and drive it away. It's targeting us and won't leave easily."
After he finished speaking, he saw Meng Yuqing nod obediently, then he turned around and looked at the beast below, growling threateningly.
The large beast was not willing to be outdone and looked at Xuan and growled. Its body size was similar to Xuan's, so it was not afraid of him.
Xuan was not going to let the other party go, and Meng Yuqing had already been placed on a very high branch.
Only small tree-climbing beasts can reach that position. Medium-sized tree-climbing beasts dare not climb up because they cannot bear their weight. And with him and this large beast here, small beasts dare not get close at all.
He could easily go down and kill the beast right now, right near this tree.
He approached step by step, his eyes gleaming with a cold light.
When he was at the right distance, he suddenly pounced down at the beast. Seeing this, the beast jumped back a step to avoid Xuan's attack, then immediately opened its huge mouth and rushed towards Xuan, trying to knock him down the moment Xuan landed.
Xuan would never give it a chance. There was no question of him being unable to stand steadily after landing. He directly rushed towards the beast's attack.
The beast was knocked to the ground in an instant, and it let out a panicked cry. As a large beast, it almost dominated this area.
Medium and small beasts were no match for it, and it had even driven away many large beasts of the same size.
Xuan's almost crushing attack on it was completely unexpected.
Soon it was attacked by Xuan and was covered with wounds. It couldn't escape even if it wanted to. Xuan didn't give it any chance to get up.
Suddenly, Xuan stopped attacking and looked vigilantly at the bushes not far away.
The beast on the ground immediately took the opportunity to get up and try to escape, but Xuan did not stop it.
The beast ran towards the bushes in panic.
Just as it was about to hide behind the bushes, two brown and yellow figures flashed out and pounced on the fleeing beast. The beast was startled and immediately screamed wildly and began to fight back hard.
It is afraid of Xuan but not afraid of other wild beasts.
Meng Yuqing, who was on the tree, had been watching the battle below. When he saw the two figures appear, he immediately took out the bow from the space warehouse.
There were two large beasts again, the same kind, but one was smaller than the other.
Don't large wild animals have their own territory? Aren't there many large wild animals? Why are they in a good mood today and are strolling around together? Meng Yuqing roared madly in his heart.
When the two beasts appeared, Xuan immediately ran to the tree where Meng Yuqing was and stared at them intently.
They actually encountered wild beasts fighting for territory. It would be best if they could fight among themselves. After all, the two white-spotted beasts that came later could climb trees.
If they were allowed to climb up the tree and run to where they were before, they would probably threaten Meng Yuqing.
It turned out that the beast was fighting back while roaring.
The scene looked a bit intense. Xuan observed that side carefully, ready to find an opportunity to join in and kill them.
Surprisingly, before he could make a move, the two beasts that came later stopped attacking and joined the original beast in forming a united front. They growled at Xuan together.
Seeing this, Meng Yuqing lost his composure. This was a complete lack of martial ethics! They were actually going to gang up on Xuan!
However, Xuan was not worried about the three beasts beating him. Although they were stronger than the wandering orcs, he could deal with a dozen wandering orcs. Even if these three beasts joined forces, they would not be his match.
As long as the other party focuses on him and doesn't climb up the tree, it's fine.
