Ji Xiaoxiao fell from the sky, swaying and staggering, almost losing her footing. Although she had defeated the Blood-Devouring Wolf in the blink of an eye, the force she had unleashed had damaged her muscles and bones to varying degrees.
"Ah, what a huge wolf!" Dali, lying on the edge of the pit, shouted to Zhishu, "Zhishu, I found a big wolf, we're going to eat it tonight. Slurp, how lucky I am, I found a big wolf that I could only dream of."
Taking something without asking is considered stealing. Dali unceremoniously seized the credit that belonged to Ji Xiaoxiao. Upon hearing this, Ji Xiaoxiao wished she could rush forward and give Dali a good whack on the head, but unfortunately, she was too weak to move.
Zhi Shu walked over unhurriedly, fed Ji Xiaoxiao a pill, and immediately told Dali to use his storage ring to put away the Blood-Devouring Wolf. The Death Forest was mostly infested with wild beasts that were agitated by the smell of blood, and if the three of them stayed here any longer, they would likely be met with a large number of wild beasts.
Having found a safe spot, and with half the sun already behind the mountains, the Death Forest began its most bustling, bloodthirsty, and brutal time of day.
"Zhishu, hurry up and deal with that wolf. Its meat won't be as delicious if it's left too long." Dali, who always puts his young lady first, was completely focused on the delicious wolf meat.
After treating Ji Xiaoxiao's wounds, Zhi Shu turned her attention to the Blood-Swallowing Wolf. She started a fire, skinned it, cut it into pieces, washed it, added seasonings, and roasted it… After a series of strict procedures, the roasted meat, made primarily from the Blood-Swallowing Wolf, was fully cooked.
Dali ate until his belly was round and full, and Ji Xiaoxiao was so full she was almost dead. Zhishu finished up the remaining tasks. The three of them sat down on the spot, closed their eyes, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Ji Xiaoxiao began to snore softly. Dali suddenly opened his eyes and whispered, "Zhishu, why won't you let me help Miss? Look, Miss is injured."
"Without experiencing wind and rain, without going through hardships, Miss will not truly grow up." Zhi Shu's words were incisive and ruthless, puncturing Da Li's self-righteous balloon.
“Then…you can’t let Miss get hurt!” Daryl said dejectedly. “We’ve followed Madam and watched Miss grow up. You know how afraid Miss is of pain.”
"Madam, are you really willing to let Miss come to the Death Forest? Without absolute strength, Miss cannot protect the [Treasure Fortune]. If the [Treasure Fortune] is taken, Miss will surely die."
Dali knew the good intentions of Zhishu and his wife, but he still had a little lingering resentment in his heart. He felt inadequate in his own abilities and also felt sorry for Ji Xiaoxiao.
Dali, in a fit of pique, rolled over and secretly vowed not to speak to Zhishu for a day, determined to make Zhishu die of loneliness, because she was so naughty.
As dawn broke, the crowing of a rooster echoed through the Death Forest.
"Ooh ooh ooh ooh..." The loud sound has a calming effect.
Ji Xiaoxiao stretched, feeling slightly sore, but with no other symptoms, likely due to the good effect of the pills Zhishu had given her yesterday. Zhishu had already packed everything, woke up Dali, and the three of them had a simple breakfast before setting off again.
"Zhishu, where are we going?" If they wander aimlessly through the Death Forest without a destination, they'll never be able to leave in their lifetime.
Zhi Shu shook her head, stopped, and pushed Ji Xiaoxiao, pushing her forward.
“Miss, it’s your turn to lead,” Zhishu said calmly.
"Is this a clear case of them wanting me to be their human shield?" Ji Xiaoxiao sighed and walked on helplessly.
Nearly three hours passed before Ji Xiaoxiao and her companions left the area of the towering trees and entered the grassland where the wind blew and the grass bends low, revealing cattle and sheep.
"Isn't this supposed to be the Forest of Death? How come there's grassland here?" Ji Xiaoxiao asked.
Dali rolled around on the grassland a few times and said to Ji Xiaoxiao, "Miss, it's just a name, it's no big deal. If you're so petty, you won't be able to find a husband in the future!"
Ji Xiaoxiao nodded, "That's true too!"
Looking at Dali, whose clothes and hair are neat and unchanged, this is the kind of person who is wise in a foolish way!
As you continue walking, the green grass gradually disappears, and the yellow sand stretches as far as the eye can see.
“没有树的森林，我信了，那这沙漠是怎么回事？沙漠和森林可是老死不相往来的死对头，你们别告诉我他们王八看绿豆，瞧上眼了，不顾世俗反对，走到了一起，不然我会忍不住揍你们的，知书、达礼……。”姬小小扭头往后看去，茫茫沙漠，只有她一个人。
