The road ahead was too narrow for the cart to pass through, so we could only climb up on our legs.
After climbing over two hills, the elf told Jiang Tuantuan not to leave yet, as they were only one thousand meters away from the meteorite. The radiation from the meteorite could cause harm to any living creature within one thousand meters, so they needed to wear protective clothing.
With a click, two protective suits appeared out of thin air, and Li Jingchen opened his eyes wide in surprise.
Jiang Tuantuan chuckled and said, "My friend gave it to me."
Li Jingchen trembled and said, "A friend from the underworld?"
Jiang Tuantuan was confused by his explanation, but nodded anyway, "Don't tell anyone."
Li Jingchen understood and promised not to tell anyone else, "Then can't my parents tell me either?"
"Mom and Dad know. Now only the four of us know about it. No one else knows about it. You must not tell anyone. This is our little secret."
Li Jingchen suddenly realized, "So you came here this time to find something for your friend in the underworld?"
Jiang Tuantuan gave him a thumbs-up and said, "You guessed it right."
The two men put on protective clothing, but what about the ox? There was no protective clothing for cows.
The elf took out two more protective suits and wrapped the big yellow cow.
The two men and the ox climbed up, and they were too tired halfway, so Jiang Tuantuan found a wooden stick to support himself and walk.
As a result, I didn't pay attention to my feet and stepped on empty air, falling flat on my face. Fortunately, my foot didn't twist.
But his elbows and knees were hurting from the knocks, so Li Jingchen asked nervously, "How's Tuan Tuan? Did you twist your ankle? Does it hurt?"
"It's not twisted, just a bump, that's all. It's okay, let's continue on our way."
Li Jingchen simply hugged Jiang Tuantuan, turned over and carried her on his back.
“What are you doing!”
"Okay, be good. I'll carry you for a while. When it doesn't hurt so much, you can walk by yourself."
Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, Jiang Tuantuan had to agree.
His back was really broad, and he was very steady when climbing the mountain. Jiang An was originally following him from behind, but when he saw this, he quickly ran to the front to lead the way.
Out of sight, out of mind!
Finally we climbed to the top of the mountain. According to the elf's instructions, it was right here, but we looked for a long time at the top of the mountain but couldn't see any trace of the meteorite.
Jiang An walked down a few steps, stretched out his nose and sniffed the dry grass. A ray of light flashed one meter in front of him.
Jiang An snorted at the two people behind him. Seeing the faint light in front of him, Jiang Tuantuan's eyes lit up and he immediately walked over.
After pulling aside the dry grass around, I saw a black meteorite the size of two palms, which was flashing with strange light. When I held it up towards the sun, I could see colorful colors, which was also very beautiful.
The elf in the space danced with joy, "Host, this is it!"
After getting the accurate information, Jiang Tuantuan collected the meteorite. Li Jingchen was very surprised to see the meteorite suddenly disappear. It was too magical.
I couldn't help but get nervous. "Tuantuan, your friend from the underworld is nearby. I was wondering why I suddenly felt a little cold."
Jiang Tuantuan didn't know how to explain to him, so she just stared at him motionlessly.
Li Jingchen also looked at Jiang Tuantuan. After staring at each other for a while, both of them turned their heads away silently. Li Jingchen understood that the friend must be nearby.
After collecting the meteorites, when I returned along the same route, I happened to see a brown weasel with a narrow skull and a slender body standing behind a tree.
The weasel stood upright with its hands folded in front of its chest, and suddenly jumped out and pounced towards Jiang Tuantuan. Jiang Tuantuan was so scared that he took several steps back. When he was about to be pounced on, Li Jingchen kicked him away.
Jiang Tuantuan, who had recovered his breath, walked towards the weasel. The elf said that this was an unlisted species, but since it was too dangerous, he suggested that the host not include it for the time being.
Jiang Tuantuan saw that the weasel was lying on the ground motionless, and thought it was okay, so he walked over.
Li Jingchen understood what she wanted to do in an instant, so he walked over first and caught the weasel.
Jiang Tuantuan gave him a look that said "you are awesome". As soon as his hand touched the weasel, he saw its eyes widen and glare at Jiang Tuantuan hard, and then it was recorded in the space.
Jiang Tuantuan felt a little terrified, an indescribable terrified feeling.
When they reached the bottom of the mountain, the space dinged and the elf said, "Host, I have good news for you. Due to the immense value of this meteorite, the higher-level system has granted you the right to collect plant species. We hope you can continue to collect this type of meteorite for the system."
After hearing the news, Jiang Tuantuan also became excited. That’s great! Collecting plants is much easier than collecting animals.
There were many ding-dong ding-dong sounds. There were still many plants on the mountain that had not been collected. Jiang Tuantuan saw that it was not very late, so he asked them to wait for a while.
Then I started collecting plants according to the elf's instructions.
I slowly walked from the bottom of the mountain to the middle of the mountain. The sun was starting to set and I couldn't stay any longer.
As we walked down, we suddenly felt a chill, a chill that penetrated deep into our bones. As we sat on the cart, Jiang Tuantuan said, "Let's hurry up and move forward."
Li Jingchen looked at her nervous appearance and felt his heart beating fast. He always felt that something bad was going to happen.
When we arrived at the inn, it was already very late. We just had a quick meal and went to bed.
Jiang Tuantuan had a nightmare while sleeping, and when he woke up in the morning he could hardly remember anything.
After another day of travel, he arrived at the next inn. He still had nightmares when he slept. When he woke up in the morning, Jiang Tuantuan clearly remembered that he was in a gray fog. He couldn't see anything clearly. There was no one around him and he couldn't hear a single sound. This feeling of the unknown was really terrifying.
After breakfast, I hurried home and finally got home before noon.
When Yubao saw that his mother had finally returned, he burst into tears.
Jiang Tuantuan was heartbroken, "Yubao, this is all mother's fault. I won't leave you for so long in the future, be good."
Yubao fell asleep gradually after crying himself tired.
At the dinner table, Feng Xiaoli glanced at Jiang Tuantuan, and Jiang Tuantuan nodded. Feng Xiaoli then understood that this was a success, and happily ate an extra bowl of rice.
After dinner, Li Jingchen went to coax the child. Jiang Tuantuan asked the elf to scan and make sure that no one was watching around, then he moved Jiang An's body out of the space.
A white light flashed, and the big yellow cow's eyes became dull. Jiang An slowly opened his eyes, and a tear slid down.
Jiang Tuantuan couldn't help shedding tears, and the two siblings hugged each other excitedly.
Jiang An finally regained his human form.
He walked into the house and shouted loudly, "Mom."
Feng Xiaoli looked up at Jiang An, her eyes immediately turned red, and she stood there in a daze.
Jiang An went forward and hugged Feng Xiaoli, "Don't cry, Mom. I'm back."
Tears flashed in Feng Xiaoli's eyes, and she kept saying, "Okay, okay, it's good that you're back."
When Li Jingchen staggered into the main hall holding Yubao in his arms, he looked face to face with Jiang An.
