I just want to see her work herself to the bone!
Xu Ling's gaze toward Kao Pu began to carry a hint of resentment.
That's incredibly reliable!
Perhaps feeling that Xu Ling was getting in the way, Kaopu couldn't help but start bossing Xu Ling around again.
"Host, if you have nothing to do, why don't you go and get some bread?"
"Look, Silver Wolf has only eaten two pieces, he's definitely not full at all. We don't have anything here to begin with, so don't you promise to make sure there's enough bread? Otherwise, what if Silver Wolf and the others starve to death?"
These words sounded so grand and righteous that Xu Ling couldn't find any reason to refute them.
There used to be just the three of them, the kind who could survive a day by drinking dew if things got really bad.
Therefore, Xu Ling is able to occasionally rise up and then continuously slack off.
But we can't do that now; Moonlight Silver Wolf needs to eat!
She had no meat, but she had promised to give them bread, so she couldn't go back on her word.
Even if she was thinking about how to just give up, Xu Ling had no choice but to follow the advice of the reliable person.
After all, she wasn't a demon; she couldn't just stand by and watch Moonlight Silver Wolf starve to death because she wanted to be lazy.
So, Xu Ling muttered to herself, but her actions still betrayed her true intentions as she walked toward the bakery on the side.
The cubs and little fairies, who had been watching the three talk from afar, couldn't contain their curiosity when Xu Ling walked to the other side, so they followed her.
"What does Master want to do?"
"Make bread."
Xu Ling answered listlessly, never expecting that she would have to "go to work" again after just saying she was going to rest today.
The little fairy immediately looked at Xu Ling with sympathy. She had been by Xu Ling's side for almost a month and naturally understood her nature.
Although the owner has a good personality, he is extremely lazy.
If it weren't for Lord Baiyun's occasional encouragement, they'd probably be gnawing on tree bark right now.
Oh, I misspoke. It's that she wants to gnaw on tree bark, and it doesn't matter if her master and Lord Baiyun don't eat or drink.
Thanos didn't react to anything else, but he got excited when he heard the words "making bread".
Actually, he wasn't full just now!
Don't let his young age fool you, he has a huge appetite, which is understandable since he's still growing!
Thanos couldn't help but let out a "whoosh" to express his joy at the prospect of bread.
Xu Ling immediately glared at him, but unfortunately Thanos was too excited to notice.
Moonlight Silver Wolf watched all this, his eyes flickering slightly. He slowly withdrew his gaze from Xu Ling and the others, and continued his previous and reliable conversation.
"So, this is a barren land?"
Moonlight Silver Wolf had made some guesses, but he wasn't entirely sure.
After all, there had been no reports of anything unusual about the barren land before this.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes and hadn't been able to confirm it himself, Fei'er wouldn't have believed that the place with scattered greenery was a desolate and barren land.
"How long has this change been going on?" Fei'er continued to ask.
Now that he has become one of Xu Ling's group, it is necessary to know how long this change has been going on and whether it will attract the attention of others, thus revealing the existence of the Tree of Life.
If they've already been discovered, they need to prepare in advance to prevent any unexpected situations from causing them to panic.
"It's been almost half a month, so no one should have noticed yet!"
The reliable answer wasn't entirely confident; to be honest, it wasn't very certain either.
For the first few days, Kaopu was indeed worried that it might attract attention, so it would fly to the boundary of the spreading greenery every day to patrol.
Fortunately, the surroundings were bare with nothing to block the view, and with reliable infrared scanning, it basically didn't detect anything amiss.
In the days that followed, it simply conducted routine inspections and didn't pay much attention to it anymore.
The Barren Lands are too desolate. Apart from a group of particularly eccentric explorers, most people stay far away from them. Nobody wants to wander into the Barren Lands and starve to death.
The explorers would at most explore the outer areas, but would never venture deep into the interior.
While explorers could wander freely with provisions while exploring the outskirts, the idea of venturing deep into the interior was simply wishful thinking!
Not to mention that the mainland is thousands of miles away from the outside world, even if distance were not a problem, you would still need to prepare a lot of food to get closer to the mainland.
Moreover, the food has to be doubled. We can't eat it all when we get to the mainland and then have nothing left on the way back, can we?
The inland areas aren't exactly idyllic places; compared to the surrounding regions, the environment is much harsher. You really can't find anything you need there.
Therefore, unless they were determined to die, and especially if they chose the most painful way to starve to death, explorers would not have thought of going to the interior, for they might go there alive but not return alive.
The place where Kaopu and Xu Ling landed was in the heart of the barren land, a truly desolate place where no one could be found.
That's why it doesn't take things too seriously once it finds someone reliable. It just doesn't believe that there are people in this godforsaken place who would be so reckless!
That's a reasonable way to think, but nothing is absolute. Who could have predicted that someone would actually drag a whole cart of food from the outside in and even get to the very center?
Of course, we don't know how reliable it is right now, so while we can't be 100% sure, we're more than 80% sure that no one has noticed that the center of the Barren Lands has begun to slowly change.
Silver Wolf didn't refute it. He felt that there was some truth to the idea that it was reliable, but he still needed to be vigilant.
In addition, these individuals comprise the elderly, the weak, the young, and the disabled, so their combat effectiveness remains an unknown quantity.
When Fei'er said it was an unknown, she meant that she didn't yet know the combat strength of Kaopu and Xu Ling.
Aside from the two of them, the little fairy and the cub's combat power is negligible, and because of the snake venom, Fei'er is basically powerless against the enemy.
"Then may I ask, Master and Sir, are you...?"
Silver Wolf made it clear with his eyes that he hadn't finished speaking.
Its reliable confidence faltered instantly, leaving it unsure how to respond.
Xu Ling is definitely on par with the little vixen; at least, in Reliable's eyes, the two are equally matched, with no difference between them.
As for being reliable, well, I don't know how to describe it.
Sometimes it should be considered the strongest being, but sometimes it might not even be as strong as Xu Ling. Simply put, its reliable combat strength is Schrödinger's combat strength.
The reason for this is entirely based on Xu Ling's points.
To put it bluntly, if a reliable entity wants to have strong military power, it also needs to exchange Xu Ling's points. If Xu Ling has enough points, then it has nothing to fear.
Now that Xu Ling's points have returned to zero, she basically has no ability other than some of her own little tricks.
However, there are other reliable methods, but there's no need to go into those.
The reliable creature remained silent, but Silver Wolf slowly understood something from its silence.
