The leader of their group was One-Eye, and the others were all agile warriors in the gathering place.
The one-eyed man is not only experienced, but also very good at taking advantage of opportunities.
Qu Yunxuan's request was to explore deeper into the forest, and she thought she was going deeper and deeper into the forest, but the truth was that Duyan had been leading everyone around the edge of the forest, which was an absolutely marginal area and very safe.
Qu Yunxuan didn't notice, and the locals also tacitly agreed not to point it out. After all, no one wanted to take any risks.
As a newcomer to the planet, Qu Yunxuan saw everything as food. He would collect a few portions of everything he encountered and take them back to steam, boil, or fry them.
I pulled weeds, picked leaves and fruits along the way, so I was not idle and the day passed quickly.
Before dusk, One-Eye led everyone to find a simple man-made tree house where they spent the night.
Because this area of the forest is less dangerous and more teams enter the forest, it is natural to find many overnight spots here.
After watching this part of the plot carefully, Lin Xiaoman knew very well that there was no major danger, only a few minor dangers, all of which were passed without any danger.
Although the novel does not specify the day when the incident of catching green ants in the toilet took place, there were three events before that: "Golden Snake's Night Attack", "Encounter with the Thorn Man", and "Digging up the Golden Fruit".
The golden snake is a large snake in the forest. It has an average body size of more than 3 meters and is covered with metal-like scales, giving it a very high defense.
The porcupine is a porcupine-like creature as strong as a buffalo.
The golden fruit, something similar to yacon, grows underground. To the locals, it is gold, and merchants buy it at a very high price.
I would like to add here that this interstellar world has a setting, which is the central idea of the fantasy color "all things have spirits".
Whether it's plants or animals, they all have souls and yearn for freedom, just like the song goes...
'I have lived a bohemian life and loved freedom!'
I would rather die than live in fear of freedom!
Once animals and plants are kept in captivity, that is, artificially bred, they will die immediately in front of you!
Only a few spiritualists can rely on spirits to raise plants and pets.
It is this setting that reasonably explains why delicious food is so scarce and delicious fruits are a luxury.
The sources of compressed biscuits and nutritional supplements are definitely the wild grasses and beasts that are spread all over the planet, as well as the rampant plants and animals.
Let's get back to the topic. Combining the events in the novel with the memories of the original owner, Lin Xiaoman easily guessed the time when Qu Yunxuan caught the green ants.
And tonight, the golden snake, which is more than 3 meters long and as thick as a bucket, will swim over. After a fight, the one-eyed man will throw a small bomb into its mouth and kill it.
Fortunately, there was no serious damage, and only three people suffered minor injuries to varying degrees.
Lin Xiaoman took advantage of her convenience to sprinkle snake repellent powder around. If the golden snake took a detour, that would be the best. If it didn't, and followed the plot, there would be no big problem. After all, neither she nor Zhang Yashan were injured.
Because she is a girl and a minor, Lin Xiaoman does not participate in the rotation of night watches.
"Sir Qu, do you want to go to the bathroom?" The golden snake appeared in the second half of the night. Lin Xiaoman, who was ready to replenish his energy as soon as possible, asked directly after helping Qu Yunxuan set up the tent.
"Ah, no, no need." Qu Yunxuan blushed when asked and shook his head softly.
"Okay then, I'm going to sleep first."
"Well, you should have a good rest." Qu Yunxuan was very easy to talk to and did not have the airs of an employer at all.
Lin Xiaoman fell asleep quickly after spreading a piece of cloth in the corner outside the tent, and was then awakened by a deafening snoring.
Lin Xiaoman woke up and continued reading the novel. He didn't know how long he had been reading when he heard Da Zhuang, who was on night watch, shouting outside, "There's a ferocious beast! It's a golden snake!!"
The men who were still snoring were instantly awakened and quickly got up.
"Youxue, you stay here and protect Lord Qu!" Dujiao gave a stern instruction and hurried out.
"Xiaoxue, be careful." Zhang Yashan reminded her worriedly and also walked out of the tree house with a gun.
After everyone had left, Qu Yunxuan, who had heard the commotion, poked his head out of the tent and asked with a sleepy look on his face, "Xiaoxue, what... happened? Where are they?"
"There's a golden snake coming towards us."
Having experienced it all over again in his memory, Lin Xiaoman was very calm.
"Ah, golden snake?" Qu Yunxuan's eyes lit up and he was no longer confused.
Snake, snake meat is so delicious!
"Let's see what happens."
"Master Qu, please stay here. It's safe here. They will lead the golden snake to another place."
"Don't worry, I'll just take a look." Qu Yunxuan quickly crawled out of the tent and ran excitedly to the door, looking at the golden snake illuminated by the searchlight.
About 200 meters away, a group of people had already started fighting with the Golden Snake, and gunshots rang out again and again.
At the edge of this forest, most ferocious beasts can be killed as long as you have a gun with a kinetic energy of more than 1,000 joules.
Defensive creatures like the Golden Snake may not be killed with one or two shots, but they will definitely be killed if they are hit by concentrated fire.
Soon, after a slightly muffled explosion with a "bang", everything returned to calm.
As expected, One-Eye quickly returned with four people and instructed, "Heizi and the other three are injured. Go and take care of them. Don't bring back any blood."
"OK."
"Xiaoxue, I'll take you there." Carrying a heavy medical bag on his back, Zhang Yashan took her with him.
Having inherited the skills of the original owner, Lin Xiaoman is very adept at treating wounds.
While Lin Xiaoman was bandaging the wound, One-Eye came back with another man, "Hurry up, cut some meat and send it to Lord Qu."
"Boss Liu, this golden snake meat is so bitter, why are you here?"
"Who knows! Lord Qu said we need it, so we just do it. Don't ask so many questions!"
"oh."
…
As in the plot, the Golden Snake was killed by a bomb thrown into the mouth by the One-Eye. Afterwards, the Cihao also appeared and was killed by concentrated fire. Then, when the group was digging tree roots for Qu Yunxuan, they dug up a lot of golden fruits.
Qu Yunxuan only took two golden fruits, and everyone else excitedly took the rest and divided them on the spot.
Because their bags were full and they couldn't take any more things, they decided to return.
After all, they had been "deep" in the forest for seven or eight days, and they returned in one day. This was too unrealistic, so One-Eye cleverly led everyone to circle around the edge again.
On the first day of their return, while Lin Xiaoman was on guard duty waiting for Qu Yunxuan to go to the bathroom, he heard the little scream described in the plot, "Ah!"
In the plot, Qu Yunxuan exclaimed when he saw the green ants!!
