Chapter 196 How nice it would be if people in the village could also live such a life!



Deep in the forest, the air became increasingly heavy, traces of fake people became more and more frequent, and the roars of monsters could be heard one after another.

Led by Alu, Song Lufeng and his group walked slowly along the path in the dense forest.

The exotic plants all around were so tall that they reached into the sky, their intertwined branches and leaves had an eerie luster, and the air was filled with a nauseating, fishy odor.

Attacks by fake people and monsters are becoming more frequent.

Liu Zui chopped a fake person in half with his sword, and the monster-like body instantly collapsed and turned into a pool of black liquid.

“There are more and more of these things!”

Liu Zui spat out a word coldly and shook off the mucus on the sword.

"Endless monsters!"

Xu Xiang punched a mutant monster that looked like a wild boar. His fist was as hard as a rock and smashed its head directly into the ground.

"The faker is still hiding behind us, don't slack off."

Song Lufeng said calmly, his eyes always calm and sharp as he scanned the surroundings.

Everyone killed and marched along the way.

The day passed by unknowingly, the sun gradually set, and the darkness of the forest swallowed them up like a huge hood.

Night fell and there was total silence, broken only by the occasional chirping of insects.

Alu stopped and looked at the dense alien plants in front of him and said:

"We can't go any further. Monsters move around more widely after dark. We need to find a place to rest first."

Song Lufeng nodded:

"Stay where you are."

Everyone put down their weapons and temporarily went into a defensive state.

Alu looked at them and suddenly frowned:

"Where's the food you brought?"

No one answered, they just looked at Xiaozao.

While Alu was wondering, he heard a "crack" sound. Xiaozao took out a big insect from the alien plant next to him, put it in his mouth, chewed it twice, and had a satisfied expression on his face.

"It tastes good!"

He clapped his hands, turned around and called out to the other plant warriors.

"There are so many exotic plants here, come and clear some space and find something to eat!"

The plant warriors cheered and immediately dispersed. Some used their branches to entangle the alien plants and pulled them up by the roots. Some grew sharp thorns on their hands and stabbed them into the roots of the alien plants. The whole process was as skillful as doing housework.

Alu was stunned:

"You guys... are eating alien plants?"

Xiao Zao smiled at him, showing a few white teeth:

"Of course, these exotic plants are so nutritious! After eating them, I still have energy to work!"

Alu was stunned and looked up at these alien plants. They shone coldly in the moonlight, as if carrying some kind of dangerous aura. When he was a child, he was warned not to touch alien plants, let alone eat them.

"You... really are not afraid of death!" he murmured.

Soon, the plant warriors cleared a space, and the other team members began to busy themselves with cooking.

Someone took out a folding pot from his equipment and placed it on the simple stove.

Someone took out the water storage device, which was filled with clean, transparent, and pure water.

More people skillfully took out various seasoning packets, vacuum-packed rice and some fresh meat from their equipment.

Alu stared at these things blankly, his eyes flickering and his mouth open wide enough to fit a fist.

"You actually brought... these things!"

His voice changed. "What are these and where are they coming from?"

In Alu's memory, his grandfather once told him some stories.

But these stories sounded like myths to him.

Their ancestors could talk to each other across thousands of miles and video chat face to face.

You can cook delicious food without using firewood.

When it is cold in winter, there is warm air.

When it is hot in summer, there is a cool breeze.

They traveled by long dragons or flying dragons, and in a blink of an eye they were hundreds or thousands of miles away...

But is this reality? Is this possible?

He had doubted it countless times.

But now——

"Of course."

As Lu He lit the fire, he said casually,

"We are out here on a mission, not to survive in the wild, so of course we have to eat well."

He used his special powers to make the water soak the rice more evenly, so that the cooked rice would be sweeter.

"Where do these things come from?" Alu asked anxiously.

Xu Xiang chuckled: "Our savior! Our ancestor!"

Alu was stunned again.

He doesn't understand.

“And besides—”

He patted his pocket, took out his phone, turned on the live broadcast and smiled at the screen.

"Did you see that? We have our ancestral chef online to give us guidance!"

Alu stared at Xu Xiang's phone in amazement.

The screen was filled with scrolling comments, and it seemed like the chefs were already waiting for their turn:

[When stewing exotic plants, be sure to add some salt and chili to remove the fishy smell! ]

[The bugs on the side of the pot look edible, throw them in and stew them together! ]

[Don’t waste it, you can break off the branch and cook it into soup, it’s super delicious! ]

[The pot is not hot enough, turn up the heat a little more, don't let the meat get overcooked! ]

【Try adding some modern hot sauce? Our Sichuan flavor will definitely shock the world! 】

[That kid, Alu, right? Would you like to try some Sichuan cuisine? ]

"You...what are you doing?"

Alu looked at this scene in disbelief.

"You can still chat with your ancestors?"

"Our ancestors?"

"Of course."

Xu Xiang waved his phone with a smile.

"The people on the other end of the phone are all our ancestors!"

"Maybe one of your ancestors!"

Alu was stunned, his face full of envy and surprise.

He looked at the steam coming out of the pot and listened to the instructions on the barrage screen: "Simmer for another three minutes" and "Remember to add some chopped green onions." He suddenly felt that he was living too primitively.

And I felt intimacy for no reason.

Maybe these people are really our ancestors!

The soup in the pot is finally cooked and the aroma fills the air.

"Dinner is ready!"

Someone shouted, and everyone picked up their bowls and started to fill them with soup and rice.

Alu took the bowl of fragrant stew and stared at the food in the bowl.

Spicy chicken! Spicy rabbit head!

The spicy and fragrant smell instantly hit his soul!

There is also a bowl of soup.

There were chunks of meat and some cleaned foreign plants in the soup, and the smell actually gave him an inexplicable sense of security.

He couldn't help but take a sip. The soup was rich and spicy, and it instantly warmed his entire stomach.

"It's so delicious..."

He murmured, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Is this what you guys...eat regularly?"

"I guess so."

Xiaozao handed over a fried cake made from exotic plants, smiling brightly.

"This is just a get-together in the wild. There are better places to go back to the base."

Shu Weng said:

"Don't listen to his nonsense. This guy is a tree, so he eats alien plants. We don't eat these. The base is full of high-energy, high-nutrition, delicious and tasty food and fish, but there are no weird plants!"

Alu's eyes widened again.

This boy is actually a tree?!

Unbelievable!

After being silent for a while, he looked at the people eating and chatting in front of him, and a strong sense of envy arose.

It would be great if the people in the village could eat such delicious food!
