Li Sen's boyfriend came in the next day. He was a very honest man with a simple smile on his face. He was 185 cm tall with a muscular build. When he smiled, he always reminded people of the word "big goofball".
It's hard to imagine that someone who looks like a typical straight man would be Li Sen's boyfriend.
"I'm entrusting my darling to you, dear Chen Yang," Li Sen said to Chen Yang.
Her boyfriend, Hong Gui, was still a bit dazed. He had only just entered the Micro-World and had barely accepted its existence when he was about to go on a mission. He was finding it somewhat difficult to adjust.
The temperature has recovered a bit today, so Chen Yang decided not to wait for the house to be completed and set off.
“Chen Yang, my dear isn’t very quick-witted. Just tell me what you need to say; he’s excellent at getting things done,” Li Sen said.
At this moment, Grandpa Yun walked up, glanced at Hong Gui, and said, "It's a pity that he doesn't practice martial arts. Chen Yang, teach him the Tiger and Bear forms of Xingyi Quan when you have time on the way. You don't need to teach him anything else."
Chen Yang nodded. If Hong Gui could be chosen by Grandpa Yun, his qualifications must be quite good.
After packing their bags and taking what they needed, they set off for Nightbury.
The Night Forest covers a wide area. This time, they headed northeast because there was a low-lying, undulating area there, which was more likely to contain metal ore.
Chen Yang was almost certain that there were mineral veins underground in Mo Yuan, but they had neither the ability to discover them nor the ability to mine them.
"Try to find prey and plants along the way to reduce the consumption of dry rations," Chen Yang said.
Traveling in winter requires more energy, and the dry rations they brought were definitely not enough. To minimize consumption, Chen Yang only brought three days' worth of dry rations, intending to replenish them as much as possible along the way.
"We must cherish our time, as we only have about six hours a day to make progress."
It's still too cold in the Microverse in the mornings and evenings. Their fur isn't enough to keep them warm, so they can only set off when it warms up around noon and have to leave by evening.
"I'll carry the stuff."
Hong Gui offered to take Li Su'er's portion of the luggage.
"It's okay, I'm not the weak and delicate type of girl," Li Su'er said with a smile.
Hong Gui scratched his head and looked at Yun Shi again.
Yun Shi was getting a little anxious and said, "Although I am a weak boy, I can still carry luggage."
Wang Bing laughed heartily, patted Hong Gui on the shoulder, and said, "Big guy, why don't you carry Xiao Hei? It looks very tired."
"Little Black" refers to the little black bear, which was panting heavily as it followed behind the group. It's puzzling how a bear could have so little stamina. It might be related to the weather.
Hong Gui nodded and went up to hug Xiao Hei. Xiao Hei was stunned for a moment and looked wary.
“Wait, I was just kidding,” Wang Bing said.
Hong Gui gave a silly laugh, leaving Wang Bing speechless.
"It's really Li Sen's good fortune to have found you."
“I pursued him,” Hong Gui said.
Instantly, everyone stared wide-eyed at them, even Chen Yang, who never gossiped, asked, "You're pursuing him?"
Hong Gui nodded and said, "He's a good person. I liked him and pursued him for a year, but he didn't agree to be with me. Then one time he got drunk, and that's how we got together."
Chen Yang swallowed hard; he didn't want to ask any more questions. This same-sex couple was truly shocking.
Speaking of glasses, Chen Yang confirmed after Xiao Qing entered the Micro World that there were no nearsighted people in the Micro World, and Xiao Qing's moderate to high myopia of 600 degrees was completely cured in the Micro World.
The micro-world still has many wonders, and the longer he stays there, the less he understands.
"When can we go and see the Cang'er Snow Mountain?"
While resting that evening, Wang Bing gazed at the Cang'er Snow Mountain and said something. Because he had named the Cang'er Snow Mountain, he had always wanted to visit it.
"Let's wait until summer," Chen Yang said, gazing at the snow-capped mountains.
The closer you get to the snow-capped mountains, the lower the temperature will definitely be, but they are currently unable to get close to the snow-capped mountains.
Little Blackie was already asleep, but it still had a piece of jerky in its mouth.
They had been traveling all day and had only collected some wild fruit; they had hardly seen any prey.
"Wait, I hear frogs croaking. Are frogs active even in winter?" Wang Bing suddenly said.
"Then let's go eat some frog legs," Li Su'er said.
Wang Bing smiled wryly and said, "Not all frogs can be called 'field chickens'."
"Almost there. Where is it? Let's go find it."
"Here."
Hong Gui suddenly reached out and grabbed a frog from the tree, and a frog appeared in his hand.
“It’s not poisonous. I used to catch it when I was a kid,” he said, then quietly walked to another spot, his eyes fixed on the ground, and suddenly reached out with swift movements.
Another frog fell into his palm, leaving the other three speechless with astonishment.
In half an hour, Hong Gui caught seven, enough for the group to barely fill their stomachs.
“From now on, you’ll be called Frog Terminator,” Li Su’er said.
"This name is too effeminate, I don't like it. I think Hong Gui would be better."
Hong Gui said with a serious expression.
"Can I, Xiao Guizi, do it?"
"I also think it's too girly, just call him Guizi."
"Couldn't you add a 'small'?"
"cannot."
Chen Yang and Wang Bing were speechless as they watched Li Su'er and Hong Gui haggling over something inexplicable.
"Little Black, keep an eye on the fire, we're heading back."
Before leaving, Chen Yang said to the sleeping Xiao Hei.
Little Black has gotten used to the fire and their habit of leaving, so there's no need to worry about it running around.
The next day, they continued on their way, but their luck was still bad. Li Su'er only managed to catch one bird, not enough to feed one person.
However, at dusk, they discovered a stream, put the two fishing baskets they were carrying into the stream, and made a simple inverted figure-eight trap, which was the earliest fishing trap Chen Yang used.
"Hopefully we'll have some success the next day. If we don't succeed by tomorrow, we might have to consider heading back," Chen Yang said.
Soon, they all withdrew one after another.
On this day, another challenger arranged by Grandpa Yun arrived.
Chen Yang was defeated again, but this time he could feel that he had improved a lot. His daily practice was indeed effective.
He also taught Hong Gui the basic movements of Xingyi Quan, namely the bear and tiger forms, but Hong Gui learned them very slowly.
"By the way, a female disciple from Mount Song is also nearby recently. I sparred with her once before. I'll have her come over and ask you for some pointers."
"That's what the person who challenged Chen Yang said."
Chen Yang nodded and said, "Is it the Shaolin Temple on Mount Song? They even accept female disciples."
"A disciple of a master associated with Shaolin Temple, who has now returned to secular life, ranks among the top three among women of her age in the contemporary martial arts world."
Chen Yang was curious about what kind of person this female disciple from Mount Song was.
However, his biggest concern right now is his predicament in the Microverse. If he doesn't find food soon, he'll have to head back, or he'll have to retreat for a few days and wait for the people from the Heart Camp to come to his rescue.
Horseback riding is prohibited in the Night Park, as it would be a huge waste of resources to conduct rescues there.
But when Chen Yang entered the micro-realm again, he was dumbfounded.
Hong Gui, trembling and blushing, carried a deer and laughed at them, "Look what I found!"
