"Alright, alright, I know you're awake." Lin Ruo quickly stopped Ah Shou's excessive enthusiasm, grabbing its fluffy tail to stop it from running any further.
Ah Shou thought Lin Ruo was playing with him and tried to break free, but then Lin Ruo threw out a winning question: "Do you want to eat?"
Ah Shou immediately stopped, panting with its tongue lolling out, and lay down at Lin Ruo's feet, as if it wasn't the one that had been making a ruckus just now.
Lin Ruo shook her head helplessly. Their Ah Shou was a true glutton. Ah Fu slowly walked over and gave Ah Shou a glaring look, clearly disapproving of how Ah Shou had almost jumped up and started running around earlier.
I took out the leftover meat from Afu and Ashou yesterday from my space, and paired it with half a watermelon for them, which became their breakfast.
After Afu and Ashou started eating breakfast, the temperature inside the protective shield rose considerably, and Lin Ruo finally took off her heavy outer clothes and began exercising.
She continued with two hours of physical training, then took out a quartz knife and practiced on the platform. The key to knife skills lies in being brave, fast, and powerful.
Lin Ruo used all her strength with every slash, and the surrounding air whistled as she cleaved through the air.
Two hours of arduous training had completely exhausted her stamina, but her water-based superpowers immediately flowed throughout her body, relieving her fatigue.
A warm blue light enveloped Lin Ruo's entire body, and after a moment, she felt her body full of energy again.
She then sat cross-legged by the fire and began her mental training. This time, she planned to create a giant ice sculpture. Her mental energy spread outward and condensed into a large water sphere with a diameter of three meters inside the protective shield.
Under Lin Ruo's control, the water sphere began to slowly change shape, and soon its basic appearance became clear—it was the black bear they had seen yesterday.
Lin Ruo closed his eyes and kept recalling the details of the black bear's battle yesterday, its aura, and then used his mental power to focus these details on the "water" bear in front of him.
The "water" bear slowly began to develop facial features, limbs, sharp fangs, a wide-open mouth, fierce eyes, and sharp claws. In the end, even every single hair was clearly visible.
Lin Ruo used the last bit of mental energy to control the "water" bear to freeze quickly, and an ice sculpture about six meters high was completely formed, still emitting wisps of cold air.
This ice sculpture not only looks exactly like the black bear, but its expression and aura are also identical.
Seeing this, Afu and Ashou's hair stood on end, they lowered their bodies, and made threatening growling noises at the "ice" bear in front of them.
Lin Ruo's mental energy was completely depleted, and the familiar headache struck again. With a pale face, she picked up the prepared crystal cores from the ground and began to cultivate.
A-Liu stayed by her side the whole time, watching her face grow paler and paler, her willow branches twitching slightly.
An hour later, her mental strength returned to its peak, even a little bit more than yesterday.
Lin Ruo wiped the cold sweat still lingering on her forehead with her sleeve, feeling happy for the extra little bit of mental energy she had gained.
A willow branch was wrapped around her wrist, its soft leaves gently caressing Lin Ruo's skin, as if showing her concern.
Lin Ruo chuckled softly, comforting her, "It's really okay, you'll get used to it."
They also cut a large piece of black bear meat and half a watermelon for it, and then Liuzhi happily rolled up the things and slipped out.
She added firewood to the campfire and discovered that the firewood she had collected while polishing the platform had mostly burned, leaving only whole trees, a dozen or so in total.
It seems she'll have to cut down some trees to bring back today. Although she's stockpiled coal and the like, it feels like she got it for free. She'll save the charcoal for emergencies.
She walked to the side, took out a tree with a diameter of 20 centimeters from her space, extracted the essence and water from the tree, and threw it directly to A-Liu, who liked it very much.
Then, using the ice blade, he chopped the dry tree into logs about 40 centimeters long. The tree was about four meters tall, and he finished chopping it in just a few strokes. He piled up the broken branches and leaves to use for starting a fire later, and piled the logs on the platform so that A-Liu could fill them in when the campfire was about to go out.
The ice at the exit disappeared, and a wisp of cold air seeped into the protective shield through the exit. Lin Ruo used her supernatural power to block the exit again, and then went to the micro-settlement to take a shower.
After taking a shower, she began preparing her breakfast, slowly cooking water and millet in a pot over the campfire outside.
She took a table out of her space and placed it by the campfire. On the table were plates, and she took out a few pies and put them on the plates, along with a small dish of prepared pickled vegetables.
Eating pork pies, drinking a bowl of thick millet porridge, and pairing it with spicy and crispy pickled vegetables, a delicious breakfast is ready.
Lin Ruo finished packing her things, looked up at her watch, and saw that it was already 9:30. It was time to leave.
