Chapter 105: Fellow Travelers
The wind blew the trees and also blew the hair of several people. Lin Xiaoman silently turned his head to look at Chen Song, who was closest to him, and saw the same thought in his eyes.
"Haha, do you think that vine monster has been seriously injured or even killed?"
Chen Song laughed dryly and looked at Chu Haoran. The opponent here was the strongest, and everyone thought he was the leader, so they naturally listened to him.
Chu Haoran's mouth twitched and he glanced at the others. Well, they all had similar ideas to Chen Song. Well, it just so happened that he felt the same way.
"Follow me carefully, I'll go ahead and explore."
When everyone heard this, they were immediately excited and nodded quickly.
"Okay, Brother Chu, be careful."
"Brother, be careful."
......
So, they turned back and went into the woods. They saw that the ground was covered with spiritual plants. Oh, there was a second-level spiritual plant, Wisteria, and green grass...
After passing the place where the most fighting took place and skipping the messy scenes, they walked further in and saw all kinds of spiritual plants, which made everyone's eyes sparkle.
Chu Haoran ran forward for a distance, making sure that there was really no threat of third-level monsters nearby, and then came back and made a safe gesture to everyone.
"Oh yeah, hurry up and dig up the spiritual plants."
Lin Xiaoman cheered and hurried towards the spiritual plant he had set his sights on. The others were not to be outdone and joined the team to dig out the spiritual plants. Chu Haoran did not move, he was responsible for guarding.
For a moment, no one spoke. They just kept digging and digging, collecting one spiritual plant after another. They didn't even bother to put them in a jade box. They put them in the storage bag first, and then put them into the jade box when they reached a safe area.
They didn't know whether the third-level vine monster was really dead. After they dug up most of the spiritual plants in the forest, leaving the tender and weak ones to continue growing, it was gradually getting dark, but it still didn't appear.
Indeed, a few second-level monsters ran out along the way, but with Chu Haoran there and Chen Song's formation, these monsters naturally became their prey.
"It's getting late, let's rest here tonight."
Since this forest is safe and there are no powerful monsters, Chu Haoran decided to rest here tonight. The others had no objection, so they found a dry and wide place to sit down.
Those who were collecting firewood were collecting firewood, those who were making fire were making fire, and Lin Xiaoman, who was cooking, took out a bunch of wilderness survival tools, including tables, chairs, and bedding from her storage bag...
When Wang Tiantian and Chen Song came back from collecting firewood, they saw that the originally bare place suddenly became full of life, and two tents were set up.
"Why is there a tent? Where did it come from?"
Chen Song just felt it was strange, but after asking, he remembered that something was wrong. He had gone out on missions before, and he had gone with Senior Brother Chu before, but he had never seen people from the main peak set up tents when they went out. He didn't have this habit either. Everyone sat on the ground and meditated and practiced.
Now, these two tents that suddenly appeared were most likely taken out by Junior Sister Lin, right?
He looked at Lin Xiaoman and saw that he nodded and said, "Oh, I thought that when you go out, there will always be mosquitoes and other things. It will be better to have a shelter."
Fortunately, she always prepared two or three sets of daily necessities for herself as backup. She would prepare at least two copies of everything, just in case one set was used up temporarily. Now, she had to use them.
Wang Tiantian's eyes lit up. She thought this new Junior Sister Lin was amazing. "Junior Sister Lin, you're so thoughtful. Why didn't I get to know you earlier? You don't know, when we used to go down the mountain to do missions, if we couldn't find a cave at night, we would stay in the wild. Although we had spiritual power to protect us, we always felt like something was missing. It felt like we were bare and unprotected. Oh no."
As she spoke, she suddenly jumped and turned to look at Chen Song. "Brother, I understand. We can design a formation. No, we can draw a formation on the tent. This way, we can ensure privacy and also serve as a defense."
Chen Song was stunned for a moment, "Yes, you can try this."
Seeing that the two formation masters were already excitedly discussing together, Lin Xiaoman stopped talking and went over with some dry firewood to build a fire and cook.
She wasn't going to eat barbecue in the evening, so she planned to make some broth, add some spiritual vegetables that she bought at the Spiritual Plant Valley, and cook a full pot of spiritual rice. The aroma wafted out, and it was so fragrant.
"Hiss, it smells so good, Junior Sister Lin, what delicious food have you made again?"
After Wang Tiantian finished talking to Chen Song about the formation, she ran over to help. When she smelled the fragrance, she couldn't help but move forward.
"Home-cooked food. Everyone is tired today, so let's have a good meal tonight."
Liu Siya stared at the bubbling broth in the pot and couldn't help swallowing. "Junior Sister Lin's cooking skills are as good as those at Xiuzhenlou in Andu City. It's so fragrant, and the barbecue is especially amazing."
As she spoke, she blushed a little embarrassedly and glanced at Lin Xiaoman, "Junior Sister Lin, can I buy a bottle of that barbecue spice from you?"
"Here, I made it myself, no need to buy it." Lin Xiaoman took out a bottle of seasoning from her storage bag and handed it to her, saying with a smile. "You like barbecue, so let's have some barbecue tomorrow."
"Wow, that's great."
Liu Siya took the seasoning, pursed her lips and smiled as she thanked him. "Thank you."
Lin Xiaoman was mainly responsible for cooking, while Liu Siya and Wang Tiantian watched her and helped out. The meal was ready quickly.
Several people sat around the fire and ate. Whether it was Wang Tiantian, who loved food, or Chu Haoran, who had little interest in eating, they almost buried their food in their bowls. No one was in the mood to chat, and eating was the most important thing.
Lin Xiaoman was the same. After a busy day, she was already hungry. You know, she almost only ate three meals a day. After entering the secret realm, she either ate spiritual noodle buns or only ate barbecue, and she didn't have a proper meal.
Mmm, so delicious!
After the meal, a few people stared at the fire in the middle in a daze, feeling dizzy from eating. It took a while before they got up and started doing other things.
Chu Haoran and Chen Song processed the spiritual plants they collected today and put them in a jade box. They had already agreed on the distribution ratio, so they divided it among everyone according to their share. Lin Xiaoman also got 66 plants. Although not as many as she had collected yesterday, these spiritual plants were safer to take and there was no need to fight.
In addition, the meat of the second-level monster hunted today was given to her.
Lin Xiaoman accepted it calmly. As for the monster food, he would have to wait until he got out, exchange it for points or sell it for spirit stones, and then distribute it to everyone.
After this trip, Lin Xiaoman felt that teamwork was the best option. He hoped to find Li Qingyue and Wang Musen as soon as possible. He wondered how they were doing now.
At night, Lin Xiaoman stayed in a tent alone, Wang Tiantian and Liu Siya were in the same tent, Chu Haoran was on guard in the first half of the night, and Chen Song was on guard in the second half. There was also a formation set up by Chen Song around them. Originally, Lin Xiaoman and the others wanted to take turns on guard, but considering that there might be a third-level monster in the woods, Chu Haoran and Chen Song did not agree.
With this, Lin Xiaoman stayed in the tent and began to practice with peace of mind.
