Next, the two dared not delay, and Lin Qianqian continued to carry Yunze on her back and support as they traveled.
However, the road ahead was extremely difficult. They encountered either flowers that could be pulled out of their own roots and wander around, or rabbits that could shake the earth with a single kick.
These are monsters that are seven or eight meters long and over ten meters tall, and they breathe fire and spew wind. You'll encounter them from time to time.
Lin Qianqian went from being terrified at the beginning to being calm now. When she encountered small ones or those she felt a connection with, she would occasionally ask Yunze if she could turn the tables and have some fun with them.
Yunze is experienced in dealing with these unexpected situations. Sometimes he can avoid them from a distance, and if he can't avoid them, he can find ways to control them.
Although she was on the verge of death several times, Lin Qianqian never felt that carrying Yunze on her back was a burden, and she never thought of giving up on him.
Having gone through hardships together, the two gradually became familiar and close.
In this unfamiliar environment, Yunze was a companion and a source of emotional support for Lin Qianqian; otherwise, she wouldn't know what to do alone in this strange world.
For Yunze, Lin Qianqian was salvation, a lifeline he clung to in his despair.
The two traveled together like this. During this time, because they lost their car and didn't have the food that Lin Qianqian had brought, they were a little short on food.
Fortunately, there was a bottle of fasting pills in that Qiankun bag, enough for the two of them to last for a while.
When they came across some fruits or flowers, Yunze would identify them and then have Lin Qianqian pick them and share them.
Lin Qianqian felt that after eating these things, her body was getting better and better, her strength was increasing, and her endurance was getting longer. Now she could carry Yunze for several kilometers without any effort.
That day, they saw a tree that was over ten meters tall, as white as jade, with seven or eight golden fruits growing on it.
Yunze observed it carefully for a while and said, "That fruit is good; it's a good thing, and eating it will be very beneficial to our health."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qianqian immediately rubbed her hands together, "Since they are good things, we can't let them go. I'll go pick them."
It sounds nice, but it's really not easy to do.
She wasn't good at climbing trees, but luckily she was in good physical condition and managed to climb up with great effort.
Lin Qianqian picked one and threw it down, and she threw it quite accurately, and they all landed in Yun Ze's arms.
Yunze, holding three or four fruits, said, "Come down, the tree trunk is too thin if you go any higher, it's too dangerous, don't pick them."
Lin Qianqian glanced at the height of the tree and its thin trunk, then obediently climbed down.
"This fruit needs a special jade box to be preserved, which we don't have. We'd better eat it right away, otherwise the spiritual energy on the fruit will dissipate quickly."
"Okay, whatever you say." She always listens to you in this regard.
So the two of them started eating fruit on the spot. They had just finished one and were about to eat a second one.
A snake-like creature, several tens of meters long, suddenly appeared before their eyes.
The reason it looks like a snake is because it has two sharp horns on its head, and its head is not as flat as a normal snake, but rather somewhat three-dimensional. It also has two whiskers that are thirty or forty centimeters long around its mouth.
The snake before them glanced at the tree and then at the fruit in their hands, its large, bowl-sized eyes gradually welling up with tears.
Don't ask if snakes shed tears; the one in front of you is one anyway.
He was crying while his mustache trembled, and his dark eyes visibly turned red.
Although Lin Qianqian didn't understand what was going on, she instinctively and carefully put the unfinished fruit on the ground, then took a few steps back to stand close to Yun Ze.
The two humans and the snake stared at each other, but none of them moved.
Finally, the snake gave up and lowered its head to eat the fruit on the ground.
Seeing the opportunity, Lin Qianqian quickly picked up Yunze and ran away.
The snake didn't chase them immediately. Instead, it ate the fruit on the ground and then ate a few more fruits high up in the tree before finally coming after them.
Although Lin Qianqian and the others ran ahead and covered a long distance, they were quickly caught up.
Seeing the giant snake getting closer and closer, Lin Qianqian, carrying Yunze on her back, frantically scrambled into a narrow cave.
The entrance to the cave was too small; the snake's head was too big to fit through. It angrily rammed the entrance, trying to get inside.
They had no choice but to retreat deeper into the cave, but fortunately, there was another world inside.
"What's wrong with that snake? It should have been guarding the fruit properly, even if we saw it belonged to someone else. It didn't watch over it properly, and now that we've picked it, it's chasing after us. What kind of snake is that? It's so unreasonable."
Lin Qianqian was just venting her frustrations; she knew, of course, that the snake couldn't possibly be reasonable.
Unexpectedly, Yunze still answered, "That's not a snake, it's a dragon. It must have just gone out to hunt for food, which is why it wasn't guarding the spirit fruit tree, and we just happened to pick the fruit."
"Then why doesn't it stick a scale on its tail or hang a snakeskin on its body to assert its dominance, so that no one will accidentally pick it..."
The two chatted casually as they walked into the cave. The cave was very deep, with many branching passages and jagged rocks, making it quite eerie.
Although there were many glowing grasses and insects on the rock face, making it possible to see the path, the two still dared not venture too deep.
When we felt we had rested long enough, we found a relatively clean spot to use as a temporary resting place.
Lin Qianqian helped Yunze sit down on a rock, took out two wild fruits she had picked earlier from her pocket, and gave one to Yunze, one for each of them, to eat some more to fill their stomachs.
Just as the two were munching on fruit, a rustling sound came from the quiet cave, causing them to stop eating at the same time.
The sound wasn't loud, but in the vast cave, it was particularly clear and eerie.
Lin Qianqian gently picked up a large rock, crouched down behind the protruding rock wall, held her breath, and then carefully peeked out.
In a relatively bright and open area not far away, her little cart was parked perfectly fine.
A small, golden animal was lying on it, its rear end facing outwards and its head facing inwards, looking for something to eat. The rustling sound was coming from it.
"Ah!! My toy car! My potato chips! My cola! My strawberry lollipop!"
Remembering her meager food supplies, Lin Qianqian, overcome with rage and anger, pounced without hesitation. She grabbed the golden object and lifted it up like a cat.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an animal that looked similar to a cat.
The reason it is said to be almost the same is because it has nine tails.
Now its mouth is covered in jam, its two front paws are tightly clutching a sandwich, and its big, watery eyes are staring at Lin Qianqian.
Then a sweet, childlike voice rang in her ears, "Delicious, delicious, so delicious!"
Lin Qianqian picked at her ear, then turned to Yunze and asked, "Did you hear a child's voice?"
"No".
"No! Was I seeing ghosts or just hallucinating? I clearly heard children talking just now..."
Lin Qianqian looked around in alarm.
“It’s this little thing that’s talking.” Yunze pointed to the thing in her hand.
"Huh, it can talk? No, Yunze, can you please stop breathing so loudly? It's terrifying."
Lin Qianqian was a little temperamental; she had really been frightened just now.
By the way, how did this little thing and her shopping cart end up here?
She lowered her voice and asked Yunze, "How did my car end up here?"
This time, Yunze didn't answer immediately, but instead frowned and stared at the thing in her hand in deep thought.
