So what she needs to do now is to make a good record of her current location.
Gu Xi looked at the icy trees, and for the first time in a long time, she felt the urge to chop down trees. So she took out the axe she hadn't used in ages and started chopping away at the trees.
However, although she was happily chopping away, the moment the progress bar reached 100%, the tree instantly turned into dust, leaving not a trace.
Gu Xi calmly put away her axe; she now found the grove of trees particularly unpleasant to look at.
But why do these leaves look so familiar?
Gu Xi leaped up slightly, plucked a handful of leaves, and a chill seeped into her heart through the crook of her hand.
She opened her hand and looked.
Gu Xi: ...
No wonder these leaves looked familiar; they were the same trash that silly bird had poured all over her head!
Now we're bound to run into each other all the time; enemies are bound to meet sooner or later.
She's even more annoyed by these trees now.
Although she was a little annoyed, now was not the time to waste time, and she needed to get moving.
Gu Xi sheathed his axe and summoned spikes. Since he couldn't use his mental power, he could still poke the tree with the spikes.
She remembered that besides leaves, fruit had also soaked her head. The fruit fell faster than the leaves, and there were fewer of them, so she hadn't seen it clearly. However, it was very likely that the fruit belonged to this type of tree.
Gu Xi walked through the woods, her eyes darting around.
Soon, she found what she was looking for. Among the many trees, she finally spotted one bearing fruit. Although the fruit was small, at least it had produced fruit.
Gu Xi leaped up, using the tree trunk as leverage to step on the branches, and successfully picked a fruit to examine it.
[Ice Crystal Fruit: Edible, a product of the Ice Crystal Tree, and a favorite of the Ice Crystal Bird.]
Although it was a bit strange, it was edible, so Gu Xi wiped the fruit a couple of times and put it in her mouth.
The fruit was crunchy, tasteless, and dry. To say it was edible would be a stretch.
After swallowing the fruit, she felt another wave of icy coldness. As she looked down to throw the fruit away, she found that her hands were covered in frost.
Slightly surprised, she quickly opened her character panel. She discovered she had a status effect. And this status was quite strange; an Ice Crystal Fruit simultaneously possessed both a buff and a debuff.
The Ice Crystal Fruit provides a buff that increases cold resistance, but its debuff is freezing and slowing down the user for 10 minutes.
Gu Xi: What the hell is this thing? It's like hurting the enemy a thousand while hurting yourself eight hundred. Only a stupid bird would eat this.
She has special clothing, so the problem of cold resistance is a piece of cake for her, but this frozen and slowed-down state will probably follow her for ten minutes.
Since she was already under the tree, she decided to use those ten minutes to collect the ice crystal fruits. Didn't the game information say that ice crystal birds love to eat them? If she encountered such a bird again, she would definitely let it eat its fill.
Since the trees here cannot be cut down, Gu Xi obediently climbed up the trees and picked all the fruit.
However, there were never many fruits on the tree, and she picked them all in less than ten minutes. She counted them at the end, and there were 56 fruits on the tree in total.
Looking at the fruit, Gu Xi suddenly had an idea.
She turned and looked at the surrounding trees, a "charming" smile playing on her lips. (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
