Traveling with Pangpang was a very correct decision made by Tu Ran.

On the first day of entering the inner circle, at ten o'clock in the evening federal time, Tu Ran decided to take a rest.

She was not very sleepy, and the sky inside the threshold had not yet darkened.

But going to bed at 10 pm and getting up at 6 am are the hard requirements she set for herself.

This allows her to recover her strength quickly, stay energetic throughout the day, and not let her body collapse due to too little rest time.

Pangpang took her to a small nest where it used to live.

It’s not big, just right for one person to sleep on with one ball.

Pangpang was tired and fell asleep immediately.

Tu Ran first patrolled outside to make sure it was safe enough, put the machine gun aside, the dagger on the other side, and closed his eyes.

She adjusted the time, and at seven o'clock the next morning, the bell rang.

Tu Ran woke up first.

The sky is still bright.

From yesterday till now.

Tu Ran was not surprised.

The day and night in the threshold are always so irregular, just like the door of the threshold, opening and closing completely according to one's mood.

Tu Ran packed her luggage first without waking up Pang Pang.

She had to find some food nearby for their breakfast.

If she was alone, she could just eat some compressed biscuits to get by, but now that Fatty, who has a huge appetite, is around, she can't be so casual.

Passing by a bush, Tu Ran saw a bunch of small red fruits.

Each fruit was as big as her fist, with a black bulge on the top, like a monster's eye.

There are many such fruits in this bush.

Pang Pang said that this kind of fruit is magical. It looks small, but if you eat one you won’t feel hungry for the whole day.

But the taste is not very good.

For Pangpang, who is a slightly picky eater, he will only eat this fruit when he is very hungry and really can't find any other food.

Tu Ran picked two at random, put one in her bag, and ate the other while walking.

Pangpang doesn't eat, but she does.

Anyway, all food in her mouth will taste exactly the same as she imagined.

All she had to do was imagine the fruit tasted like an apple, and it would taste crispy and delicious in her mouth.

Tu Ran continued to look for food for Pang Pang to eat.

As they walked along the way yesterday, Pangpang introduced her to some food that she could eat along the way.

Tu Ran memorized it very seriously.

When she saw a small flower with three purple petals and one red petal, she stopped immediately.

Pang Pang said that the fruit buried underneath this half-purple and half-red flower is very sweet.

Pangpang likes to eat sweet fruits and vegetables.

Tu Ran immediately ate the remaining "apple" in her hand in just a few bites.

Then he took out a dagger and squatted at the base of the flower to dig the soil.

After two or three scrapes, half of the fruit was exposed.

Tu Ran picked it out with her hands and patted the soil on it. Sure enough, she saw the white and tender fruit, which looked like a spherical white radish.

Tu Ran continued to squat under the next flower and dig.

Judging from the size of the fruit, Pang Pang would eat seven or eight of them in one meal.

To be on the safe side, Tu Ran dug out fifteen.

Then I went to a stream not far away to wash them one by one.

After the soil is washed away, the white flesh looks very delicious.

Tu Ran picked up a huge leaf that had fallen from the tree, wrapped the ten fruits in it, and walked back.

As she expected, Pangpang was still sleeping.

His feet were facing the air, his sleeping posture was odd, and you could even hear a slight snoring sound.

A chicken was snoring. Tu Ran must be drunk. "Get up and eat."

Tu Ran called out to it.

Pangpang turned over and ignored her.

Tu Ran shouted again: "If you don't get up, I will eat it all."

Still no response.

Tu Ran was too lazy to call it again, so she just sat beside it and picked the cleanest fruit to eat.

Sweet, fragrant, and full of moisture.

After eating one, Tu Ran went to get the second one.

The fragrance of the fruit finally drifted into Pangpang's nose.

It was still sleeping and was awakened by greed.

It sat up with a start, looked at the white and tender fruits, and licked its lips.

"Eat quickly, we'll be leaving soon." Tu Ran urged, pushing the fruit towards it.

Pangpang immediately pulled the leaf towards him excitedly and started to chew it.

It eats very quickly.

Tu Ran had just converted the medicine bag into a small cross-body backpack when it finished eating.

It wiped the juice from the corner of its mouth with a feather and looked curiously at the small bag in Tu Ran's hand.

"Boss, what is this?"

Tu Ran threw the small bag to it and said, "Put it on your back. When you see food you want to eat on the road, put it in here."

Pangpang was surprised. Looking at this simple crossbody bag made of two ropes strung together by medicine bags, his tail exploded instantly.

It jumped up quickly, and imitated Tu Ran, putting the bag over its head and slung it across its waist.

The bag is just the right size, enough for an extra-large red melon.

It happily turned around and flapped its wings. It finally had its own little bag, and it could carry the food it wanted to eat.

Tu Ran put on her backpack, glanced at it, and walked out of the cave.

"Stop showing off and let's go."

"Okay, boss." Pangpang happily followed her away.

Walking deeper into the dense forest, whenever Pang Pang came across a fruit he wanted to eat, he would stop to pick a few more, put them in his bag, and eat them while walking, while constantly introducing them to the audience.

"This place is Zhe's territory."

"They have five tails and one horn, are sturdy, have four legs, run very fast, and make the same sound as knocking on stones."

"Although they look ferocious, they don't like to eat meat and are very tolerant of species weaker than them." Pangpang talked freely.

Tu Ran looked around and found that there was clearly no difference from any other place. She didn't know how Pang Pang could tell the difference. She even suspected that Pang Pang was talking nonsense.

As I was thinking this, the sound of stones knocking was heard.

Getting closer.

Tu Ran: There’s no need to be so particular about the situation.

Seven cheetah-like creatures came out from behind the thick trees.

It is five times the size of a cheetah.

The biggest difference in appearance from cheetahs is that they have long and thin horns on their heads.

It’s exactly the same as Pangpang described.

Fatty nudged her with his wings and whispered, "Boss, don't stare at them, they will think you are provoking them. Lower your head and they will ignore us."

Tu Ran lowered her head when she heard this.

In fact, she also wanted to see their five tails.

Just as Pang Pang said, this group of monsters completely ignored them and walked past them in a very arrogant manner.

After making sure they were far away, Tu Ran raised her head and looked at their backs. Each of them had five tails growing behind its butt.

It was the first time I saw an animal with so many tails. It was so strange that I couldn’t describe it.

"They are patrolling their territory. Any species that dares to look them in the eye will be regarded as a provocateur, and they will pounce on it and tear it into pieces." Pangpang described it vividly, and as he spoke, he took out a purple fruit from his bag and started to eat it.
