Lu Nanzhe ran frantically, not knowing where to go, when suddenly he caught sight of a patch of flowers on his right, about waist-high and densely packed, just enough to hide someone.
Without thinking twice, he plunged in.
But less than ten seconds later, it quickly darted out again, or rather, it was knocked out.
Behind him, countless green poles supported an irregularly shaped, yellowish-brown barrel, which was firing at him.
Lin Qianqian felt that the irregularly shaped bucket looked very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before.
Before she could figure it out, Lu Nanzhe had already run into Luo Zexuan and Chu Zhou, who had rushed over.
He gasped, "Don't run this way, this area is a popcorn field."
Chu Zhou walked past him, picked up a round, yellowish-brown bullet from the ground, looked at it for a few seconds, and then put it in his mouth.
After chewing a couple of times, he calmly turned to Luo Zexuan and said, "It's popcorn."
Hearing this, Lin Qianqian, who was floating above them, suddenly realized what was going on.
No wonder he thought the irregularly shaped bucket looked so familiar; it looked a lot like an old-fashioned popcorn machine.
It really is popcorn!
At this moment, Old Zhang stepped forward and asked the three people who were frantically fleeing for their lives just a moment ago, but were now chatting leisurely: "Are you still running?"
"Oh yeah, the Lava Boar and the Bursting Cow are still chasing us, run!"
After Lu Nanzhe finished speaking, he tried to turn around and continue running away, but was grabbed by Zhang Laodao.
"They started fighting amongst themselves and didn't chase after us."
"Ah!" Lu Nanzhe was taken aback. "I remember now, Lava Boars and Exploding Bulls are mortal enemies. Let's go back."
"Why go back?"
"Go collect the corpses. If a Exploding Bull can't beat its opponent in a fight, it will self-destruct. If its split body is soaked in the savory lava spewed out by the Lava Pig, the beef will become a delicacy, extremely delicious. All gourmet hunters and gourmet explorers hope to find this delicacy in the place where the pig and bull fought."
After Lu Nanzhe finished speaking, he hurriedly ran back. Chu Zhou found it amusing and followed closely behind. Luo Zexuan and Zhang Laodao could only helplessly follow.
Floating above, Lin Qianqian said to Yunze, "This world is truly, truly amazing! I'm speechless with wonder; it has all sorts of bizarre and wonderful foods!"
Yunze agreed. When they first came to the island, they had used their divine sense to scan the lava pigs and explosive cows, but they never expected them to be pigs and cows like this.
It was indeed the right decision to have Lu Nanzhe lead them through the entire route slowly.
Seeing something doesn't mean you understand it; it's always better to have a local guide to show you around!
Lin Qianqian and Yunze jumped down from the cloud and hid nearby with the others, watching the pig and cow fight and seeing them both get hurt.
After the two groups of pigs and cattle retreated, dozens of pig and cattle carcasses were left on the battlefield.
Lu Nanzhe looked at the beef soaking in the savory lava and danced with excitement. They got all of this for free!
After collecting their spoils, the sun was about to set, so they needed to find a flat spot to leave the mall open for the night.
Lin Qianqian and Yun Ze had previously scanned the entire island with their divine sense and had a general impression of the terrain. They continued walking for another two miles and arrived at a lake.
“This is Qingjiu Lake,” Lu Nanzhe said, taking a sip of water from the lake.
“Every lake in Qingjiu is home to many delicious Qionglin delicacies. Look over there…” Lu Nanzhe pointed and introduced.
The hooting geese that darted across the lake were fermented geese, geese with a natural fermented geese flavor.
And that beer duck carrying a beer can on its back, waddling along, is so cute!
The lake has drunken shrimp, vinegar fish, and red wine fish...
Anyway, they got some of the things that Lu Nanzhe introduced them to.
He gave a portion to Wen Mingyue and Jiang Shuran on the boat, and told them that the six of them would be spending the night on the island.
Then the revelry began. Under the full moon, tonight, we won't go home until we're drunk, and we won't sleep until we're stuffed!
All six of them slept soundly until dawn. With the mall around, their safety wasn't an issue, especially with the protective array on the outer wall and the patrolling puppets. If anything happened, the robots would send out an alarm to alert them.
The next day, after everyone got up and washed, they continued on their journey.
The group unanimously decided to save their breakfast for later and eat whatever delicious food they came across on the way.
The island is quite large, with a diameter of several hundred kilometers, so Lin Qianqian and her companions certainly couldn't walk every step of the way.
To save time, they boarded a convertible hovercar, which fortunately had seven seats and could comfortably seat six people.
The car was currently seven or eight meters above the ground, flying low and at low speed over the grassland.
This way, they could see the scenery on the grassland clearly and also speed up their journey.
In addition, everyone also discovered a pattern: the closer you go to the center of the island, the denser the Qionglin creatures become.
This island is like an oversized plate, filled with all sorts of delicious food.
After crossing a sizable meadow, we found that most of the species on the meadow were ones we had seen yesterday. There were a few new faces, but they were not high-level Qionglin creatures.
For example, there's the cloud sheep that we mentioned before, which eats multi-flavored grass. These sheep have fluffy wool all over their bodies that looks like clouds, and they have a pair of long, semi-transparent horns.
This sheep is not very strong, only level 28, and has no special abilities, except that it is fast.
The attack relies on ramming, followed by headbutting with the hard horns on the head.
"These Qionglin creatures taste good; if you come across them, catch a couple."
"Okay," Lin Qianqian agreed.
Luo Zexuan stopped the hovercar, and Lu Nanzhe jumped out and rushed over impatiently.
“I can handle these cloud sheep, I’ll catch them.”
Lu Nanzhe, relying on Lin Qianqian and the others to back him up, rushed ahead too quickly. As a result, he became careless and almost crashed.
If Yunze hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been stabbed through the abdomen by the horns of the Cloud Sheep.
Although he finally defeated Cloud Sheep, Lu Nanzhe still felt ashamed.
He angrily knocked the cloud sheep unconscious, then huffed and puffed at its neck and started gnawing on it.
Fortunately, everyone trusts his character; otherwise, strangers who saw him in that position would think he was about to do something inappropriate or even 18+.
He first ate the wool of the cloud sheep. Yes, he ate it. The wool of this sheep is not used to make clothes, but to be eaten directly.
He even encouraged everyone to go up and grab a handful, saying it was like eating something that melts in your mouth.
They broke off the two horns from the sheep's head. They were very tough and hard to bite, but you could lick them slowly like eating a lollipop.
Then the skin can be peeled off directly. It has little taste, just like bland tofu skin, but Lu Nanzhe said it can be used to wrap meat and vegetables.
He cut off a piece of mutton and said that the meat from Yunduo mutton is salty and spicy. Then he picked a cucumber leaf from the grass, rolled it up, and stuffed it into his mouth.
This sheep is truly edible from the inside out, and can be eaten raw or cooked, each with a different flavor, and it contains spiritual energy from the meat to the skin.
Everyone followed his example, picking various kinds of vegetable leaves from the side and eating them with the mutton, thus finishing the whole sheep.
It's a good opportunity to make up for the breakfast I missed.
