Having learned her lesson about the mutated vegetable plants, Lin Xue became even more cautious in her subsequent actions.
As she cautiously moved forward, she noticed round, gray stones on the ground ahead, swaying and waddling towards the other side of the woods.
"What kind of plant is this? Or has the stone mutated too?"
A double surprise brewed in her heart.
These little things look so cute. If Lin Xue didn't know that everything in this forest was extraordinary, she would really want to go up and touch those round little mushroom heads.
Yes, she recognized them. These weren't walking stones at all; they were clearly giant mushrooms.
Mushrooms have long legs and can hop around the forest. The key is that these mushrooms won't attack other plants even if they encounter them.
Lin Xue was incredibly envious.
"I wish I could roam freely through the forest like these giant mushrooms!"
Lin Xue felt an urge to catch these mushrooms and study them carefully.
She unconsciously moved slowly toward the direction of those large mushrooms.
"Host, this system advises you not to provoke those moving plants!"
“These advanced mutant plants possess very strong toxins.”
"Don't even talk about catching them; even if you do run into them, they'll probably kill you half to death!"
Upon being reminded by the system, Lin Xue immediately stopped in her tracks.
Compared to these advanced mutated plants, she cared more about her own life.
"Host, I must remind you again that you need to hurry. In two hours, the temperature in this world will drop to extremely low levels!"
"If you stay outside then, you're very likely to get frostbite!"
Having just convinced its host not to court death, 629 noticed the temperature dropping rapidly.
After calculating the amount of clothing carried by its host, it realized that in order to avoid freezing to death, it needed to find a place to spend the night within two hours.
"Should I go back to that cave we used to go to?"
"But that cave seems to be quite far from here. I wonder if there are any other caves nearby!"
"No matter what, we have to get out of this forest first!"
Lin Xue looked around at her surroundings and then felt the change in temperature.
The forest at night can be more dangerous than during the day.
During the day, due to the high temperature, these plants are relatively less active.
However, during the period when the sun has set and the temperature is suitable for human activity, the trees have not yet recovered from their daytime state.
That's why Lin Xue dared to walk in so brazenly to find the supplies she needed.
If the temperature really drops to a certain level, these plants will turn into menacing demons.
That's when they really hunt.
In addition to other creatures, the plants also hunt other plants in their vicinity.
For example, the mutated vegetable plant we encountered earlier hunted for small grasses growing nearby.
Or perhaps they are small flying insects that appear in the forest at night; these insects only gradually appeared after the wasteland planet fell into apocalypse.
They were born in the wasteland and come out at night to find food.
These tiny flying insects feed on plants and pollen in the forest.
The mutated plants on the wasteland planet are different from those in other places.
They are relatively stiff during the day, but extremely active at night.
Even though the temperature at night is extremely low, to a level that humans cannot bear.
But these plants seem oblivious, and the upper vines of the trees sway wildly at night.
Sometimes even the tree trunk will twist a few times.
Humans cannot understand this bizarre behavior, yet it truly exists.
"Host, head east now, that's the fastest way to get out of the forest!"
Knowing that its host's abilities were sealed, 629 actively guided its host.
"Now turn left and walk about 2 kilometers to the side. There's a hidden cave there, enough for the host to spend the night!"
Lin Xue is now incredibly grateful that she has a smart system.
He can always plan the best route for her, so that she can avoid a lot of detours.
She was glad that she hadn't completely relied on spiritual power; otherwise, in a world where spiritual power couldn't be used, wouldn't she be at the mercy of others?
Now, at least she still knows kung fu, so at least she won't have a terrible time in this world.
"Keep going, host! Just a few more steps and you'll be there!"
"The outside temperature is getting lower and lower. Host, you need to speed up. You can only walk another 200 meters at most!"
"Almost there, just hang in there a little longer!"
"It's just around the corner!"
With her own system urging and encouraging her in various ways, Lin Xue finally entered the small cave just before she was about to freeze to death.
The cave entrance is under a huge rock, and it is impossible to spot from the outside unless you look closely.
The cave wasn't very deep, and it was quite narrow inside.
After Lin Xue went inside, she could only move around by bending over.
However, the temperature is relatively high in such a small space.
It's only when the cave is big and empty that you can feel cold!
There are many caves like this on the wasteland planet, most of which were dug by humans.
So as long as you pay attention along the way, it's not difficult to find a place to stay.
Finding combustible fuel on this planet is an extremely difficult task.
Although the forest was nearby, it was very difficult to obtain the branches and trunks of those plants.
Therefore, firewood and similar items are also difficult to obtain.
Lin Xue spent half a day experimenting inside the cave before finally taking out a huge pot lid from her spatial storage.
This pot lid is the same one she used when cooking large meals in the orc realm.
The plants in that world were enormous, and the cooking pots for communal meals were also enormous.
Therefore, the wooden pot lid was made quite large.
Taking it out like this will just be enough to block up the cave entrance.
She can feel warmer inside.
"Host, you should get some rest. I'll keep an eye on things outside for you!"
Seeing that its host had blocked the cave entrance, it put on everything it could wear.
It then took out a tattered cotton quilt from its spatial storage. It had no idea where its host had found such a tattered quilt.
You should know that there are quite a lot of supplies in the host space. Not to mention new cotton quilts, there are even piles of silk quilts.
Yet this wealthy host could produce such a tattered quilt.
This truly shattered 629's worldview and shattered its understanding of its host.
"Luckily, I didn't throw away this quilt when I was fleeing!"
"I don't even know when I put it into my spatial storage and forgot about it, otherwise this world wouldn't even have a roof!"
Before 629 could make any wild guesses, Lin Xue told him the answer he wanted to know.
