Chapter 160
Long Yuanyuan held the small bowl and scooped a spoonful of stewed potatoes into her mouth.
As soon as the potato entered her mouth, her big round eyes lit up instantly and she couldn't wait to continue eating.
Wow--
It’s really delicious.
Why didn't I think of asking Teng Teng to cook before? I've been eating such terrible meals for so long.
Long Yuanyuan's face changed when she thought of the vegetable and meat soup she had eaten earlier. She suddenly lost her appetite. However, when she subconsciously stuffed a mouthful of the potato and eggplant stew into her mouth, her appetite instantly returned.
Long Yuanyuan immediately started eating hard with grunts.
The amount that Mo Ju Teng prepared was not much to begin with, but the variety of ingredients was too great, which resulted in a lot of food in the end. Long Yuanyuan even ate until her stomach was bloated but she still hadn't finished eating.
Ku Mu hadn't noticed the kid's condition until he saw Yuan Yuan's stomach was almost swollen. He said in a shocked and serious tone, "Yuan Yuan, don't eat anymore, or you'll get an upset stomach later."
Long Yuanyuan subconsciously clenched the spoon in her hand, her eyes a little vague and guilty, but she refused to let go, "I can still eat more, I hiccup... I'm not full."
As she spoke, she felt more and more guilty, and even burped, but she still stubbornly refused to put down the bowl.
The dead tree was almost laughing out of anger.
It directly reached out a branch and patted the cub's round belly, and asked unhappily, "Not full? Then why is your belly so bloated?"
Long Yuanyuan hesitated and couldn't utter a word. Finally, under the disapproving look of the dead tree, she reluctantly put down the bowl and praised Mo Ju Teng: "Teng Teng, your cooking is really delicious. Can you make this dish again tonight?"
The Mo Ju Teng was praised so much that its vines twisted everywhere, and it agreed without hesitation.
[Of course, no problem. Leave the cooking to me!]
At this moment, it has forgotten that the last eggplant has been stewed in the pot until it is soft and tasty, and it may not be able to make the same dish.
The seventh day of extreme cold.
Before the sky was fully light, Long Yuanyuan was already woken up by the cold.
The biting cold made people shiver, and they could only get warmer by getting close to the fire.
She couldn't help but move closer to the fire, wishing she could bury herself in it, but was stopped by Huahua and the dead wood.
"Yuanyuan, if you get any closer you'll get burned! Just sit here and warm yourself by the fire. Don't get too close."
Long Yuanyuan was shivering with cold and said pitifully, "But I...I'm really cold."
I felt cold to the core, and it felt like if I moved, all the heat I had accumulated with great difficulty would be gone.
Kurumu looked at the little guy who was almost wrapped up into a ball, and his small body was very close to the fire, but he was still shivering from the cold, and his lips were even slightly purple.
"Yuanyuan, but you can't get too close to the fire. What if you accidentally get burned?"
Long Yuanyuan's little head almost completely shrunk into the down jacket, leaving only the head outside, and muttered: "Will it be warm if it is burned by fire?"
Ku Mu was stunned and subconsciously forgot to answer.
Mo Ju Teng felt that it made a lot of sense.
[I think being roasted by fire must be very hot. Yuanyuan, you can try it!]
Dead Tree: “….”
Die if you try?
It helplessly explained: "Being roasted by fire will not warm you up, it will only kill you, and it will be very painful."
Long Yuanyuan sighed: "Okay."
There was regret in her baby voice.
The Mo Ju Teng also shook its vines in response.
【All right. 】
These words were filled with regret for not seeing the excitement.
The dead tree really felt that it was worrying too much. It suspected that there were no leaves on its branches. One reason was that it did not have much energy, and the other was definitely because it worried too much, so there were no leaves.
After all, the giant black vine and the little guy are unreliable, and we have to keep an eye on them at all times to prevent them from poking a hole in the sky.
Just as laughter could be heard from the cabin, the dead tree suddenly became serious: "Plants, follow me out, several groups of strange beasts suddenly appeared outside."
Although these strange beasts did not come together, the distance between them is not far apart, so they are estimated to arrive at the cabin one after another.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone walked into the yard in perfect tacit understanding.
Just as Long Yuanyuan put on her down jacket and shoes and was about to leave, Ku Mu suddenly turned around and said, "Yuanyuan, don't go out, or you'll get frozen."
Long Yuanyuan: “?”
Although she was afraid of the cold, it was obviously more terrifying not being able to fight together, and she also wanted to help, even if it was just to help report the remaining health of the monster.
She jumped up and down on the spot and said with all her strength, "Don't worry, Big Tree. I'm not cold at all."
However, the stuttering itself clearly explained the problem.
It was the first time that Ku Mu realized that the little guy was so stubborn. Even though his lips were frozen and turned purple, he still stubbornly said that he was fine and even wanted to go out with them to fight strange beasts.
I don't know why the kid wants to go out so much.
It said helplessly and seriously: "Yuanyuan, stop making trouble and stay in the cabin. It's too cold outside and you will freeze to death."
Although the kid's special ability can help him heal his injuries, he will still shiver from the cold outside, and the process is still uncomfortable.
Long Yuanyuan's eyes widened immediately, and she reached out to hug the tree, pleading softly, "Big Tree, please let me go. I want to go and take a look. If the cold is unbearable, I'll come back immediately!"
She immediately stood up straight, looking very reliable, "Don't worry!"
Dead Tree: “….”
This makes it feel uneasy.
However, the little boy's expectant eyes made Ku Mu unable to say no.
The little one used to be very sensible. Even when he got blisters on his feet while walking around looking for treasure chests, he never complained. He was a completely good kid. But now, perhaps because we've been together for a long time, the little one has become naughty.
And it likes the naughty look of the little cub now.
It said in a doting tone: "Go ahead, go ahead. Don't cry to me when you get frozen. Just put on an extra down jacket."
"No way!"
When Long Yuanyuan got a satisfactory answer, she immediately jumped up and down excitedly, her little face full of smiles, and she looked extremely happy.
The little snow mountain next to them was also extremely excited, jumping and shouting, "Longlong! Longlong!"
Only then did the dead tree take Long Yuanyuan and the plants out of the cabin. Little Snow Mountain followed behind them, looking like he wanted to pester Long Yuanyuan.
It has never had a strong presence. The only thing it does is jumping around behind Long Yuanyuan from time to time, saying Yuanyuan's name.
As soon as I stepped out of the cabin, I was hit by a biting cold, which was completely different from the cold of the previous two days.
If it weren't for the fact that the cabin itself was slightly warmer than outside, and if it weren't for the fact that contestants like Long Yuanyuan had improved their physiques through exercise and the enhanced effects of their attribute cards, an ordinary person on Blue Planet experiencing the extreme cold would likely freeze to death in no time.
The dead tree was silent for a while. After feeling the coldness in the yard, it knew very clearly in its heart that if the battle was not ended quickly, they would not be able to go out to fight again and their bodies would be completely frozen.
Deadwood: "We must fight quickly today. Lightning balls and the like must be thrown out when necessary! And Yuanyuan, remember to help keep an eye on the alien beast's health. If it drops below 20, be sure to tell us."
It felt that although the temperature was low, with the presence of bloodthorn fruits and other plants, as long as the battle could be ended quickly, there would definitely be no problem.
When Long Yuanyuan heard this, her face immediately turned serious and she nodded in a serious manner: "Okay!"
At the same time, the strange beasts were getting closer and closer to the cabin. Although there were many of them, they were all level one strange beasts.
The dead tree walked to the fence and sensed the strange beast that occasionally entered its range. It suddenly had a foreboding feeling in its heart. It thought for a moment and decided to carefully feel the movement of the branch wrapped in black mist.
Almost instantly, it made a prompt decision: "Leader Bloodthorn Fruit, you and the elders will be divided into three groups, with the strengths of the three groups being as similar as possible. One group will go out to fight the enemy, while the other two groups will return to the cabin to rest and keep warm."
"Teng Teng, you stay in the cabin and wait for my instructions. I will notify you when I need your help moving plants. Otherwise, you must stay in the cabin and keep warm."
"Yuanyuan, you must conserve your energy from now on. If I ask you to transfer energy, you should only input about one-tenth of it. Also, if I tell you to go back to the cabin, you must go back."
There was no room for argument in the dead tree's words, and they were full of solemnity and seriousness.
The plants and Long Yuanyuan present didn't dare to object and readily agreed. They were not fools and naturally knew that today's battle would be difficult.
However, the dead tree forgot about the small snow mountain.
It seemed to understand what the dead tree said, and couldn't help but jump up and down on the spot: "Yuanyuan! Me!! Tree! Tree! Yuanyuan!"
Long Yuanyuan's eyes widened in surprise. "Xiao Xueshan, can you understand what the trees say?"
At this time, Xiao Xueshan seemed not to understand and kept jumping around on the spot, repeating what he had just said.
Long Yuanyuan understood instantly that it seemed that this little snow mountain only understood what he said indirectly.
She looked at the big tree, waiting for the big tree to arrange things for Xiao Xueshan.
However, the dead tree had no idea what the little cub and the snow mountain in front of it were thinking. The little cub only looked at it with expectant eyes, and the little snow mountain was more like a little fool, only knowing how to jump around in place.
It asked unhappily, "What's wrong?"
Long Yuanyuan opened her mouth slightly, "Dashu, you don't understand what Xiaoxueshan said?"
Her eyes were full of disbelief, as if it was shocking that the usually wise big tree could not understand what the little snow mountain said.
Dead Tree: “…”
My own kid.
Don’t beat him!
The dead tree stretched out a branch and patted the cub's head: "Tell me, what is Little Snow Mountain saying!"
This little snow mountain just uttered a few words. Who can understand what it said?
No, only the kid knows.
Long Yuanyuan was caught red-handed, and subconsciously pouted and touched her head: "Little Snow Mountain is of course waiting for you, Big Tree, to arrange things for it! We all have it! Of course, Little Snow Mountain must have it too!"
The dead tree understood instantly, but it had no idea of Xiaoxueshan's strength. In addition, Xiaoxueshan's ability to understand words was only intermittent, so it felt unreliable to assign it any task.
Ku Mu had no choice but to assign this task to the kid.
"Yuanyuan, Xiaoxueshan will follow you. If you have any problems, just tell it! It will be responsible for helping you."
Long Yuanyuan's eyes lit up, and he was particularly satisfied with his little assistant. He reached out and hugged Xiao Xueshan, saying in a baby voice, "Xiao Xueshan, just follow me!"
When Xiao Xueshan heard this, he was instantly excited and started jumping up and down on the spot several times, shouting, "Longlong! Longlong!"
However, Xiao Xueshan forgot about Long Yuanyuan who was holding him, and instantly jumped up several times with Long Yuanyuan.
The big trees and plants nearby were instantly nervous, fearing that the little cub would fall.
However, what they never expected was that Long Yuanyuan didn't look afraid at all. Instead, she hugged Xiao Xueshan excitedly, and her little voice cracked slightly: "It's fun, fun! Keep going!"
They were having so much fun that they completely forgot about the strange beasts outside that were lurking around.
Finally, the dead tree said in a deep voice, with a dark face and branches eager to beat the little guy, "Alright, Yuanyuan, stop playing around and let's fight the monster first."
Only then did Long Yuanyuan reluctantly get down from the small snow mountain and said, "Okay! I won't play anymore. I'll play later!"
The dead tree was instantly satisfied.
As they were talking, the strange beast unknowingly approached the cabin, but the plants were already prepared and acted according to the dead tree's instructions.
The three first-level beasts approaching the cabin now are the Sawtooth Beast, the Ghost Lizard Beast, and the One-Eyed Beast.
Their scarlet eyes were full of bloodthirstiness as they stared at the cabin. They didn't need any orders from higher-level beasts and immediately pounced on the cabin based on instinct.
At this moment, the Blood Thorn Fruit leader took action instantly.
Countless spikes attacked the strange beast. Although there were many spikes in number, their accuracy was extremely high. Each spike penetrated deeply into the body of the strange beast, and not a single spike was wasted.
The strange beast roared in pain instantly, its mouth wide open, and foul-smelling mucus instantly flowed out of its mouth. Its sharp claws were firmly digging into the ground, and its scarlet eyes were filled with bloodthirstiness and cruelty, as if it wanted to tear the cabin to pieces immediately and then eat the humans inside alive.
Just this one attack from the Blood Thorn Fruit Leader killed a Sawtooth Beast, and the other two beasts were also injured.
Although Ku Mu asked Long Yuanyuan to wait until the health points of the monsters dropped below 20 before reporting, she still started to report the situation of the two monsters.
"The health points of the Ghost Lizard Beast are 82, and the health points of the Cyclops Beast are 78."
The third elder of the Blood Thorn Fruit instantly had an idea in his mind, and he immediately released his sharp thorns to attack the strange beast.
Although the accuracy of the spikes this time is not as high as that of the Blood Thorn Fruit Leader, it is definitely not bad.
For a moment, the only sound that could be heard was the strange beast's wailing that resounded through the sky. Even the one-eyed beast only needed a light blow to make it completely disappear in the wilderness.
