"You want to go to the forest?" Long Mo looked at Hu Jiaojiao in surprise.

"Well, I want to go to the forest to see if there are any edible plants. If there are, it can solve the food problem of some beastmen." Hu Jiaojiao explained.

In fact, this is secondary.

The main reason is that they did not bring a lot of food when they came to Yuehu Tribe this time. They

have almost eaten all the food in the past few days. Hu Jiaojiao thought that the plants in the forest near Yuehu Tribe were different from those outside Fengshou Tribe, and wanted to see if there were any new discoveries.

By the way, take some food and fruits out of the space.

Since she came here to escape the summer heat, she would not treat herself badly.

Long Mo knew that Hu Jiaojiao was favored by the beast god, so although she did not go to the forest often, she knew the plants in the forest very well.

Hearing her say that, of course he wouldn't refuse.

"Okay, I'll take you after dinner." It just

so happened that he was going to the forest to hunt in the morning. The two of them made an agreement.

After dinner, Long Mo cleaned up the dishes.

Foxy Jiaojiao also went back to the room and put on her sunscreen gear, a set of linen trousers and long sleeves, and a large straw hat with a face-covering cloth, which was enough to ensure that she was wrapped tightly after going out.

It's not very hot in the tribe, but if you don't take any protection on the way to the forest, your skin will be exposed to the sun and it will burn off a layer of skin.

Foxy Jiaojiao would rather cover herself tightly than be exposed to the sun.

After packing up, Foxy Jiaojiao picked up a few oversized animal skin bags and went out with Long Mo.

She sat on the dragon's back and felt waves of heat coming towards her.

It felt like she was being baked in an oven.

Foxy Jiaojiao could only lower her head and lie on the dragon's scales, which eased the pressure a little.

With the wind blocked by her head, Foxy Jiaojiao had time to look down at the forest.

Looking down from the air, the forest was lush and green everywhere.

But if you look closely, you can see that there are very few animals, as if the animals have disappeared.

Foxy Jiaojiao remembered that when she and Long Mo were rushing in the forest, there were still many animals in the forest.

Not long after flying, Long Mo began to approach the forest and landed.

There was almost no place to land in the forest. After Long Mo landed, he cleared a small space on the ground and let Hu Jiaojiao get down.

As soon as she landed, Hu Jiaojiao smelled a rotten smell.

Hu Jiaojiao now has a keen sense of smell and can easily tell what the smell is.

Unlike the rotten smell of vegetation in the past, this time it was a corpse that was rotting.

Hu Jiaojiao frowned and looked around. There were dense branches and leaves everywhere, and the ground could not be seen at all. She didn't know where the smell came from.

Or maybe it came from all directions.

"Long Mo, you go hunt, I'll just look around here and won't walk around."

Hu Jiaojiao retracted her gaze, touched Long Mo's big head, and said softly.

"Roar..."

The black dragon exhaled a thick breath, nodded, and said in animal language:

"Okay, I will pick you up when I come back from hunting. If you have any problems, just call me loudly and I will be back soon."

Long Mo's animal language was even deeper, sounding like it came from his chest, dull and mellow.

He kept reminding her tirelessly. In fact, he had already reminded her countless times on the way.

"I know. I will call you if there is anything. We will meet here in a while." Fox Jiaojiao also listened patiently and pointed to a very conspicuous huge pine tree next to him.

Long Mo was relieved and jumped up and flew over the forest.

He could sense that there were no ferocious beasts nearby, otherwise he would not feel at ease leaving Hu Jiaojiao alone in the forest.

Of course, he knew very well in his heart that with Hu Jiaojiao's ability, she would be able to deal with danger even if she encountered it.

But he subconsciously treated Hu Jiaojiao as a helpless little female, thinking that she was someone who needed protection at all times.

Hu Jiaojiao raised her head and looked at Long Mo through the gaps between the branches and leaves.

In a few breaths, Long Mo's figure had disappeared from Hu Jiaojiao's sight.

Hu Jiaojiao exhaled, waited for a few minutes, and after making sure that Long Mo would not return, she focused her attention on the dense vegetation around her.

The most lush growth was actually weeds.

Foxy Jiaojiao had known this for a long time. She took out a knife from the space and first carved a triangular mark on the old pine tree she had just pointed out. Then she slowly moved forward while cutting off the blocking branches and shrubs.

The vegetation in the forest grew very strong. Although there were no signs of drought on the surface, it was not difficult to see from these plants that the water source in the forest was not sufficient.

The roots of these plants were deeply rooted.

Foxy Jiaojiao had several animal skin bags on her waist. When she walked, she was often hooked by the bushes at her feet. She had to stop and pull the bags back before continuing to move forward.

It took several minutes to walk a distance of ten meters.

Looking at the endless trees around, Fox Jiaojiao suddenly felt lucky that she had chosen to stay in the tribe instead of foolishly taking the supplies and leaving the tribe to survive alone.

In such a huge primeval forest with a drastically changed environment, it was harder than climbing to heaven for a female to survive.

After walking for about ten minutes, Fox Jiaojiao finally got something.

After pulling aside the bushes, she saw many small red wild fruits.

These wild fruits had traces of being eaten by animals, so they should be non-toxic.

Fox Jiaojiao picked some and put them in a beast skin bag, but did not taste them immediately.

While picking wild fruits, Fox Jiaojiao found some wild vegetables. These wild vegetables were not available in the space. She really liked to eat green vegetables, and wild vegetables also had a unique flavor.

Fox Jiaojiao concentrated on picking wild vegetables.

The wild vegetables grew relatively low, close to the ground, and Fox Jiaojiao could only squat to pick them.

Suddenly, the tip of Fox Jiaojiao's nose moved.

A breeze blew over, without such an obvious heat wave, but with a strong smell of decay.

Foxy Jiaojiao subconsciously stopped her action and used a long knife to push aside the bushes in front of her.

A smell of rotten meat hit her face.

Then, she saw a rotten corpse.

It was not an animal corpse, but a beast corpse.

Foxy Jiaojiao was shocked and took a few steps back. It was not because she was afraid of the corpse, but because the corpse was crawling with all kinds of insects. The scene was really a bit nauseating. She

suddenly lost the urge to pick the wild vegetables at her feet.

Foxy Jiaojiao simply turned in another direction and looked in the other side.

Who knew that after walking just two steps, he encountered the same situation.

After Fox Jiaojiao pulled away the surrounding bushes and found five or six corpses in succession, he finally understood why there was a rotten smell as soon as he arrived in the forest.

Only a few of the orcs from the north were able to enter the Yuehu tribe smoothly.

The majority of them stayed in the forest forever and

became food for the plants.
