Chapter 213 Leaving the Mountain Valley
Gu Qing found the food a bit bland, so she took out the dipping sauce she had prepared from her spatial storage. She dipped herself in it first, took a bite, and then divided the sauce into several portions, pushing them in front of the others.
"Try the one I made myself. It took a lot of effort to purify these exotic plants."
The three of them dipped their food in the sauce, took a bite, and all nodded.
"I thought you were exaggerating when you said you were craving me, but after seeing this dipping sauce, I know you're telling the truth. At your level, you're willing to purify alien plants just for food, which shows you're really greedy."
Sun Mo laughed as he said this.
The other two laughed along, but Gu Qing didn't care at all. "What? Don't you like this dipping sauce? If you have something good, would you still want to eat those bland dishes in the future?"
The three people exchanged a glance and then said, "Of course we don't want to, so please be generous, Master Gu Jinghua, and give us more so we can eat that tasteless roast meat later."
Gu Qing rolled her eyes at the three people. "Here, here."
“That’s more like it. Don’t blame us for taking advantage of you. Among the four of us, you’re the wealthiest.” Sun Mo had barely finished speaking when…
Gu Qing retorted, "I won't argue with the two of them, but you're just stirring things up. Let's not talk about our husbands, just look at your own status as a high-level alchemist. Haven't you made a fortune over the years?"
Sun Mo was not flustered, but calmly said, "Even if I make money, I still have to invest. I just awakened, and I invested so many resources over the years to raise me to this level. Unlike you purifiers, you can make money without any investment."
Although the three of them had a pleasant chat, the experiences of traveling the previous day had left them exhausted, so they went back to rest early.
Gu Qing didn't forget to practice her skills, purifying several crystal cores and collecting a lot of water. She was so tired that she finally fell into a deep sleep.
The night grew increasingly restless, but all four of them managed to sleep peacefully in their tents until dawn.
When she stepped out of the tent in the morning, she could still smell a faint stench of blood mixed with the scent of grass and earth. Gu Qing glanced at the people around her as she washed up.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, everyone's fine! Those who suffered minor injuries have almost recovered." Qi Bai helped him wash up.
Lou Xiaoyu brought over a bowl and said, "Don't worry, I'm not injured. We're not deep inside yet, and the level of the exotic plants and beasts here isn't high."
This was brought from home. I heated it up a bit. Have a bite, and we'll be leaving soon.
Gu Qing nodded, her hands moving quickly. She had gotten up early in the morning, and the grass and trees were covered in dew, but thankfully, her combat suit provided good protection.
The occasional dampness on her exposed skin actually helped her regain some clarity.
So she was very excited when she got on the elephant. However, as they went further and further, she could clearly feel that the atmosphere in the group was gradually becoming tense.
Just as Gu Qing was about to ask Lou Xiaoyu behind her, something cool and smooth brushed against the back of her ear.
Because she had been in Lou Xiaoyu's arms, she wasn't afraid. She looked down and turned around to see what it was—a rat snake.
She realized something was wrong and saw Lou Xiaoyu pull the small snake out and wrap it around her wrist.
At the same time, he leaned down and whispered in her ear, "It's too quiet. There are no birdsong or even insect chirps around here. We've probably entered the territory of high-level exotic beasts and plants."
"Then why wasn't a flying spirit entity sent to investigate?"
"What happened? But there's nothing unusual up close. However, that's what's even more terrifying. It means that thing is of a very high level, which is why it has such a large jurisdiction."
Lou Xiaoyu's candid explanations were also intended to raise Gu Qing's awareness of the crisis.
Gu Qing was indeed a little nervous. After all, the larger the area this thing ruled, the lower the chance they would have to get around it. As mentioned before, their resting place was in a mountain valley.
Now, they are about to leave this place. Unless they leave and go around the mountains on the left and right, they have to go up this gentle slope.
Because, according to her observations, the flying spirits were indeed patrolling back and forth in the sky, and their formation was also subtly changing.
However, the bamboo slip did not order a detour. The procession gradually climbed to the top of the gentle slope, which was halfway up the mountain.
Compared to the trees on the mountain, the trees here can only be called shrubs at best, each one only about 3 meters tall and about the thickness of a bowl.
