"We certainly will." The three nodded firmly.
"OK, let's continue on our way." Tu Ran turned around and continued on his way.
The four of them walked until dark, and did not encounter any more alien species.
Tu Ran looked at the surrounding environment and after making sure it was safe, she decided to rest here.
"Climb the tree." Tu Ran put the laser gun behind his back and prepared to climb the tree.
"Huh?" Li Rui was the first to express his shock. "Climbing trees? We can't climb."
Song Bai nodded in agreement. She was just a powerless female college student.
Xiang Sheng raised her hand, "I can jump up." Now with her jumping ability, jumping onto the branch is not a problem.
"What should Xiaobai and I do?" Li Rui pouted, "Shengsheng, you won't abandon us, right?"
"How about I try to jump with you on my back?" Xiang Sheng came up with an idea.
"It's okay to sleep under the tree. No need to go through so much trouble," Tu Ran said. "I can hear any movement and will come down soon."
"That's right," Xiang Sheng put his arms around the shoulders of his two friends, "I'll stay downstairs with you, and Sister Tu Ran can stay upstairs to observe the situation."
"Okay." Song Bai nodded.
Tu Ran climbed up the tree branch and took out the pillow. There was a little wind in the forest today and the temperature was not high. Tu Ran thought of the three people under the tree, jumped up, picked two giant leaves and threw them down to them.
"Block the wind." Tu Ran's voice came from far away in the tree.
The three people held the two leaves, not knowing whether to cry or laugh for a moment.
“I am the daughter of the Li family, but I have fallen to the point of covering myself with leaves to keep warm.” Li Rui huddled in the middle with only her head exposed, silently shedding tears in the cold wind.
"Go to sleep." Xiang Sheng felt a little tired. "It's good to be alive."
"Yes." Song Bai nodded and moved closer to Li Rui. The three of them hugged each other.
Tu Ran lying on the tree branch: Next time I have to put a blanket in the space.
The night passed peacefully.
The next day, at daybreak, the four of them set out on their journey as usual.
The thing to replenish physical strength is still nutrient solution.
Li Rui could no longer drink.
She looked up at the fruits on the tree above her head. They were bright red and looked very sweet. She swallowed unconsciously and looked at Tu Ran who was walking in front: "Sister Tu Ran, can we eat that fruit?"
Tu Ran looked in the direction her finger pointed.
It is a fruit that will keep you from feeling hungry for a whole day if you eat one.
It’s so unpalatable that even Fatty hates it.
Seeing Tu Ran's suddenly strange look, Li Rui retreated a little, "Poisonous?"
Tu Ran shook her head and said honestly, "It's not poisonous, and it's very filling. I won't feel hungry for a whole day if I eat one, but it tastes a bit bad."
Li Rui was relieved that it was not poisonous. She wanted to taste how bad it tasted. She looked at Xiang Sheng and clasped her hands in front of her chest in a gesture of request, "Please, Sheng Sheng."
Xiang Sheng had no choice but to bend his knees and jump up. He grabbed a fruit with one hand, twisted it twice and picked it off. He handed the fruit to Li Rui, jumped up again and picked two more, and prepared one for Tu Ran.
Tu Ran took it, thanked him, and took a bite.
Li Rui, who was originally trembling with fear to eat, became bolder when he saw Tu Ran eating so quickly. He took a bite and chewed it twice.
"Pah...Pah...Pah...Pah..." Li Rui's facial features suddenly wrinkled into a ball, and she spat out all the fruit pulp she had eaten. Her face turned pale, and she still felt a bitter taste in her mouth. She took a few more gulps of the nutrient solution to wash away the taste in her mouth.
"Is it so unpalatable?" Song Bai was curious. He held the fruit and took a small bite. It was like eating an unripe persimmon. It didn't have a crispy texture, but was doughy, like it was made of raw flour. After entering the mouth, it would stick to the upper wall of the mouth. He could neither spit it out nor swallow it.
Seeing the same expression on their faces, Xiang Sheng decisively gave up and decided to drink the nutrient solution, which tasted good. …
In the afternoon, the group encountered an alien species head-on.
It looks like a rabbit, with snow-white fur, long ears, one erected and one drooping, and eyes that are gathered inward. It doesn't look very smart, and is not big, about the same size as a human. It comes bouncing towards me.
When I saw them, I was stunned.
When the four people saw it, they also stopped.
The rabbit and four people looked at each other. Three seconds later, the rabbit screamed.
"ah----"
It's like an invisible sword that's going to pierce everyone's eardrum.
Li Rui quickly covered her ears. Her head was throbbing with pain, but it didn't stop her from speaking. "Damn it! I just learned that this is how rabbits call!"
Tu Ran, who didn't need to cover his ears because of the helmet, heard her say: "..." and didn't know what to say for a moment.
The rabbit continued to scream, with no sign of stopping.
And it was really stupid. It just stood there and barked, but didn't run away.
Tu Ran pulled out the dagger from Li Rui's hand and threw it casually, hitting the rabbit right in the center of the forehead.
The screaming stopped.
The rabbit leaned back and fell to the ground.
"It's finally quiet." Li Rui rubbed his surviving ears, walked up to the rabbit, and looked down at the large furry rabbit.
Actually, it looks quite cute.
"Sister Tu Ran, are we going to dig out its inner elixir?"
"It doesn't have an inner elixir. Not all alien species have inner elixir. Only one or two out of a hundred alien species may have inner elixir."
"Oh." Li Rui said with regret. She bent down and pulled out her dagger from the rabbit's head. Seeing the red blood on the tip of the knife, she suddenly had an idea, "Sister Tu Ran, can we eat its meat? Such a big spicy rabbit head must be delicious."
Tu Ran: “…” How should she answer?
“…I haven’t eaten it, so I don’t know.”
"Isn't it said that Shan Hai Jing is a cookbook? It must be edible. Let's give it a try. Maybe this rabbit meat has other benefits."
Before Tu Ran recovered from the shock of the spicy rabbit head, Li Rui brought up the idea of the recipe again. Tu Ran felt indescribable.
"Without seasoning, even if the meat is edible, it will taste fishy." Xiang Sheng said.
"It seems so." Li Rui was disappointed, "Then forget it."
Tu Ran was silent for a moment, then said, "I have it."
…
In the end, the four of them successfully ate the rabbit meat, but they only ate one hind leg together and couldn't eat any more.
Looking at the remaining rabbit meat, Li Rui was reluctant to leave. "Goodbye, my beloved rabbit."
The four of them set out again, trying to walk a little further before it got dark.
Tu Ran tried her best to sense Pang Pang's position, but unfortunately, apart from the direction, she could not sense the distance.
They had been walking in this unchanging forest for three days.
During this period, they found five more inner elixirs.
Four are elementary and one is intermediate.
They are all useless abilities, such as being able to change hair color at will, being able to control the growth rate of hair on the body, being able to see at night, etc.
