Chapter 145
With the guidance of the monsters that grew up in the secret realm, they moved much faster than others and gained a lot.
"There's something up ahead that you can use. Go get it yourself. I won't be going over there."
The tip of the big cat's tail pointed in a certain direction ahead, and only after that did it say this to the stone.
"Is something wrong over there? Don't you want to go over there?"
The big cat didn't react like this before, but now it actually made such a move. How could Shi Tou not be curious?
"Nothing much. I just eat the fruit I like in that area, and I go there often. The owner of this territory just doesn't welcome me very much."
When the big cat said this, he couldn't help but purr in his throat.
It seemed as if he was thinking about what he had done in the past.
It is quite strong and has its own territory with good resources, so even though there are fruits that it likes to eat here, it has never thought of moving its nest here.
It wants to eat, but there is none in its own territory, so it can only come here to steal the fruits every once in a while.
Before, it relied on its own strength which was stronger than the monsters in the territory, and did not take the other party seriously at all. It said it was stealing, but the robbery was so open and aboveboard.
With the spiritual fruit tree around, the two of them wouldn't really fight to the death, but the situation wasn't much better either. Every time the other one discovered its scent, it wouldn't give up until it had chased it for three miles.
Now that the big cat is in this state, it is conceivable that its current position is completely reversed from that of the monster. It would be strange if the monster didn't take the opportunity to beat it up.
Given this possibility, it is understandable that it doesn't want to go in.
"If you don't want to go in, that's fine, but are you sure we can get out after we go in?"
Although Shi Tou didn't understand why the big cat didn't want to go in, he didn't force it. After entering the secret realm and meeting the big cat, they also spent some time with the big cat, so they still had some trust in it.
Shitou didn't ask so carefully when he asked.
I just asked the questions they cared about most and stopped asking after getting the answers.
After all, even if Shitou asked whether he could come back safe and sound, it would definitely be nonsense.
In the secret realm, you still have to steal things from other people's territory. It's already very good to be able to come out alive. You still delusionally think that you can get what you want so easily without getting hurt. Isn't that making things difficult for the big cat?
"Don't worry, the monster has nothing else to do, but as long as it sees that you are not planning to kill it, it will be a little fair and will not take your lives."
The big cat answered the stone's question very straightforwardly, which showed their understanding of each other after such a long struggle.
"That's good."
After hearing this, Shitou breathed a sigh of relief.
"Shitou, what's going on?"
While Shitou was talking to the big cat, the others were waiting quietly on the side. Seeing that Shitou seemed to have finished the topic, they hurriedly started to ask.
"Brother Rufeng, Big Cat said the monster inside has a temper that's neither good nor bad. As long as we don't kill it, it won't kill us. However, we went in to steal its food, so we'll probably get beaten up."
Shitou looked up at Tang Rufeng and others who were looking at him with questioning eyes, and briefly told them the information he had learned from the big cat.
"It's okay, as long as you're alive, it's normal to be injured."
After hearing what Shi Tou said, everyone else said it was okay.
After the great changes in the world, even though they lived in the mountains for a long time, they did not have to worry about danger because they had their godmother as a talisman, but they never gave up on improving their strength.
Since there were no mutant animals or plants outside Daxi Village that could threaten them, they went farther away to fight and improve their strength.
Their strength was just as they had thought at the beginning. As long as their qualifications were not too poor, they could improve it through long-term efforts.
Their current strength, as far as Shi Tou and Tang Rufeng, who were the first group to awaken their abilities, is concerned, is not much different from those of the official first-line team.
The ones that are not so good are probably because they are the mutant animals and plants they have encountered and fought against, which is not as much as the official team. They will still be a little confused when facing the more tricky mutant animals and plants, but these can be made up for with time and fighting.
They all knew this, so this time they were very confident in themselves and were able to directly find a secret realm that was open and come here.
As for injuries, they had expected them from the beginning and were prepared for them, so no one thought it was a problem from the beginning.
Now that they have the answer, what are they afraid of? Just go in.
"Let's go, Stone. Did the big cat tell us what it wants us to get?"
No one else had any objection, and Tang Rufeng would have no objection either.
But before setting off, they still have to figure things out to avoid not being able to find things after entering and picking things randomly.
If you are lucky, you will get what you want. If you are unlucky, you will bring out some useless things and offend the monster. If you can't get in later, you will be doomed.
In response to Tang Rufeng's question, Shitou did not delay and looked up at the big cat he was holding.
"Big Cat said there's a big, beautiful vine tree in there. It's very special, with lots of fruit growing on it. We'll be able to recognize it when we go in."
Big Cat didn't know how to describe it to them, so he could only say this.
Fortunately, the spiritual plant itself has some unique features, so I hope they can find it.
If they can't find it, then it's not the big cat's problem. It's because Tang Rufeng and the other bipeds have no vision and can't see such an obvious thing.
While thinking about this, the big cat was already being lifted up by Shi Tou and placed in a relatively safe place that Tang Rufeng and the others had found.
After hiding the big cat, Tang Rufeng and the others continued to move towards that area.
Watching them walk away, the big cat turned its head and looked at its current location.
If it didn't know its current size and knew that it had grown up, and looked at the hiding places that humans had found for it, it would still think that it was just a little animal that could only hide beside its mother.
After watching, the big cat retracted its neck and lowered its head, leaving only its eyes exposed to observe the situation outside. It remained motionless, waiting for the humans to come back.
How could it not know the difference between these humans who appeared in the secret realm and the cultivators who had entered the secret realm before?
It is certain that something unexpected has occurred in the secret realm, and the source of the unexpected has to be related to the humans it is following now.
Even if humans don't know anything, it's good as long as it can follow them out, leave this secret place, and be treated.
Anyway, the big cat doesn't expect to seek refuge with those cultivators. For those people, meeting it is almost like meeting a surprise.
Considering the big cat's strength, as long as it encounters those cultivators, it would be no different from delivering itself to the cultivators to help them have an opportunity. It would be crazy for it to go over to them.
But if he doesn't find a way, the injuries on his body will greatly reduce his combat effectiveness. If he continues to stay in the secret realm and encounters other monsters, he will be delivering meat to them.
Since both options are death, it is better to choose a possible way to survive that you like and take a gamble.
While thinking about all these random things in his mind, the big cat still had some free time to think about where those humans were going now based on their speed.
At this time, Tang Rufeng and others who were being thought of by the big cat could clearly feel that they had entered the territory of a powerful monster.
The reason they had this feeling was not because their five senses were on alert, but simply because they saw the excrement that the monster used to mark its territory.
"These are all monsters, and they're cultivators. They actually have the consciousness to use their excrement to mark their territory?"
Hu Zi leaned over to take a look, and after making sure he was not mistaken, he came back and spoke to Tang Rufeng and the others.
"Who can tell? Maybe it's just its own thoughts."
In response to Hu Zi's question, a user with special abilities in the defense team answered with a smile.
"Don't get too close. If you get caught, the monster will come over and we'll be exposed."
Tang Tang would look at the passing marks and remind Hu Zi from time to time.
"I know. I'm just observing and judging the approximate range of the monster's territory."
Hu Zi did not refute Tang Tang's words. He looked back and forth like that, and he was not without his own little thoughts.
Although the big cat said that as long as they didn't kill the monster, the monster wouldn't kill them either, there was still a difference between being injured and being hurt.
Knowing the territory of the monster, if they want to run and can't run along the same route, it is very necessary to know when they can run out of the opponent's territory.
"Okay, Brother Huzi, you are so talented, we didn't even know you were that talented!"
Tang Tang nodded in understanding of Hu Zi's words.
After all, Hu Zi did some research in this area. He had made successful judgments when they were fighting in the mountains to improve their strength.
"Tangtang, is that the vine tree in front that the big cat mentioned?"
Although they were talking, they did not stop walking at all, and their pace did not slow down at all along the way.
But after a short while, they saw a tree that was obviously special.
Except for the largest tree in the middle, the others growing in a surrounding posture are slightly smaller.
Even though they were far away, they could still vaguely see the fruits hanging between the branches, which were bright red and in sharp contrast to the green of the vines.
"Well, now I understand why the big cat said we can see it once we come in."
In response to his senior sister's reminder, Tang Tang looked in the direction she pointed and said this with emotion.
Putting aside other things, once they entered this area, apart from the outer edge of the territory marked by the monster at the beginning, this kind of plant was the most conspicuous, and it would be difficult for them not to notice it.
However, it was only after seeing these plants that they finally relaxed the anger they had been holding in their hearts.
After all, the big cat pointed out everything they could use and told them the specific locations. He brought them here like this, but they still came here in vain without finding anything. They really couldn't forgive themselves.
Thinking about it, I looked up at the vine trees in front of me, their eyes sparkling.
"Should we start picking now?"
Before Tang Rufeng could say anything, some of the other people with special abilities couldn't help themselves and took out bags from their backpacks. They looked at Tang Rufeng with shining eyes, waiting for his order.
"Well, let's collect it outside first and see if the monster reacts. If it doesn't appear, we'll probably have to pick the vine tree in the middle."
When Tang Rufeng said this, he was thinking of what Shitou had relayed to him about the big cat.
Remind them not to make the wrong choice, but to find the most special tree.
So is there something to this?
The trees outside are not old enough, so they won’t have the effect they want. Do they have to rely on the fruit from the vine tree in the center?
There was this guess, but Tang Rufeng didn't say it out loud.
If you want to verify your guess, you still need to put it into practice.
"Okay, let's watch ours."
The others had no objection to Tang Rufeng's words. Tang Rufeng was the team leader of their trip.
These people with special abilities are very convinced of his command.
Since the other party said so, he must have his own reasons. If they can't figure it out, then they don't have to think about it. Just follow his instructions. It won't be a loss for them.
A group of people took a bag and found a vine tree that looked nearby and started picking the fruits on it.
The monsters in this area had already smelled the presence of humans in their territory through the air.
Ever since Tang Rufeng and his companions stepped into this area, it had been paying attention to them, but they had not discovered it.
Before, it was curious about what Tang Rufeng and the others were looking for.
Seeing them harvesting fruits at this time, I felt relieved, but then I went back and lay down feeling a little bored, with my eyes drooping and feeling sleepy, and soon fell asleep.
Although the fruits growing on the trees on the periphery are its food, they have grown so much that it won't have any impact if humans take some away, so it doesn't care. As long as they don't steal the fruits from the vine tree in the middle that it is guarding, it's fine.
As he thought of this, the monster's consciousness was completely obscured by sleepiness, and soon he began to snore softly.
Tang Rufeng and the others were completely unaware that they had accidentally given the territory's owner a wrong hint.
After picking fruits for a while and finding no signs of any monsters showing up to fight them, they realized they had picked the wrong thing.
I had to put the fruits I picked aside for the time being and gather them together to think about them again.
"Now it's confirmed, it's the vine tree in the center."
While they were picking the fruits, Tang Rufeng compared them with what Big Cat had told Shi Tou, and his guess was confirmed.
If a big cat comes in to pick the fruits, it will be attacked by the monster. There is no reason why those weaker ones who come in to steal the fruits will be let off.
One reason they weren't noticed was that they didn't get the idea right.
"I understand."
Tang Rufeng's simple words made everyone else understand the meaning.
They are not stupid. If they go out, they may risk their lives at any time. They trust Tang Rufeng, but they will not give up their own brains.
If they go out without using their brains, it will be very easy for them to die even with Tang Rufeng as their commander who can think everything through for them.
If you have a goal, everything else will be much easier.
Putting down the bags in their hands, they didn't even glance at the vines on the side, and went straight to the central vine tree in the innermost part.
Although they walked fast, they had their own rules and were very careful and cautious.
When they were about to reach the destination, Captain Qing was floating in front. He had sharp eyes and was the first to notice that something was wrong in front.
Seeing that Captain Qingzhi seemed to have something to say, Tang Rufeng simply waved his hand, signaling others to slow down.
"There's a monster next to the tree in front. It doesn't look big. Compared to the monsters we've seen in the secret realm, it's medium-sized. It's sleeping now."
Tang Rufeng was not surprised at all by Captain Qing's words.
When he realized that the trees outside were just for deception and the fruits were dispensable, he knew that the monster fighting with the big cat would be guarding this central tree.
I just didn't expect that the other party could fall asleep while guarding the tree.
"That's right. If that monster didn't like to sleep so much, the big cat wouldn't come to steal every time and succeed."
Just drive the big cat out as soon as it enters the territory, and don't give it the chance to get close to the tree.
Thinking of this, not only Tang Rufeng, but also the other people with special abilities walking beside them had a flash of enlightenment in their eyes.
"No wonder..."
Tang Tang muttered something in a low voice and didn't say anything else, for fear that he would wake up the monster by talking.
Since big cats can steal, if they are more careful, can they steal too?
Do it as soon as you think of it. Captain Qingzhi leads Tang Rufeng and the others.
Knowing that some animals were asleep, they had to be extremely careful not to disturb the animals, and combined with their own abilities, they managed to keep the noise as low as possible.
However, they did not expect that these fruits would emit fruity fragrance after being picked from the tree, and the fragrance would become stronger with each one picked.
Later on, even if the other people standing a little further away were on guard, they could still smell it.
Seeing that the sleeping monster had saliva dripping from its mouth, Tang Rufeng realized that if he continued to pick fruits, the fragrance of the fruit would wake the monster up. He decisively gave up picking fruits and left with the rest of the team.
Other people with special abilities also knew where their own strengths lay. They couldn't deal with the mutated animals outside the secret realm, let alone this obviously powerful monster.
Even though some of them were reluctant to give up the fruits on the tree, they all had the self-awareness to restrain their greed.
The fact was just as Tang Rufeng thought. A while after they left, they heard the roar of the monster.
It was obvious that it was awakened by the fruity fragrance lingering around it.
After waking up, I found that there were obviously fewer fruits on the tree. It would be strange if I didn’t feel sad.
There is only one ripe fruit tree in this territory, which is its food. It is reluctant to eat the fruits on the vines in the central area. Now that so many of them have been stolen by unknown creatures, it would be strange if it is not barren.
The monster's cry was quite sharp, so even though the sound was not loud, it traveled far away and was heard by Tang Rufeng and the others.
"Let's go, let's go out!"
"We're outnumbered, and even though we tried to restrain ourselves and take the aroma of the fruit into consideration, we still managed to pick quite a few. Now that we've been discovered, they'll probably beat us half to death and take our things back, right?"
The people with special abilities who heard the cry looked at each other, and then tacitly chose to speed up and prepare to leave this area.
"Should be, right? Even if the big cat that brought us here wanted to steal, it certainly didn't steal much, and it ate everything on the spot. I guess the monster and the big cat wouldn't be able to get anything back even if they fought. We can't be sure."
Having said that, their speed increased again.
They didn't want to end up with nothing to eat, get beaten up, and have their food taken away by the monster.
With this sense of urgency, they almost used up all the speed they had in their lifetime.
They ran out of its territory just before the monster discovered their location and started chasing them.
Once they leave this area, even if the monster is still unwilling to let them steal the fruit, it will go back because of the mixed aura outside the territory and the strength of the monsters in other areas.
According to the big cat, the monster was a vegetarian and not good at fighting. It could walk sideways in its own territory, but it became a little timid after going out.
That's what they thought, but after Tang Rufeng and the others left the monster's territory, they had no intention of stopping and went straight to find the big cat they had hidden.
The fruit had such a strong smell that even though they had packed it in several sealed bags, some of it inevitably leaked out.
Even big cats like to eat this fruit, so there's no guarantee that other monsters in this secret realm may also like to eat it.
They have already got the things, but they are snatched away by other monsters. They will really have the urge to bang their heads against trees.
As they approached with the things, the big cat smelled the fragrance of the fruit.
After making sure that there was no danger around, it poked its head out from its hiding place.
After seeing that Tang Rufeng and the others were fine, it widened its eyes in surprise.
This shouldn't be the case. Every time it went to steal before, it inevitably had to fight with the monster and had some wounds on its body, but these humans obviously didn't have any wounds. Moreover, looking at the package that was still emitting the fragrance of fruit, there were obviously a lot of fruits inside.
"Did you guys steal all the fruit from that guy?"
The big cat tilted its head, its face full of disbelief.
"No, the monster was asleep when we went there, and we didn't make any noise, so we picked more."
When Shitou heard what the big cat said, he put on the bag he was holding and answered with some embarrassment.
He also knew that stealing was not a good thing, but it was impossible to rob things openly.
Weak strength.
As he spoke, Shi Tou was already reaching out, ready to catch the big cat from its hiding place.
After catching the big cat, he just held it up and looked at Tang Rufeng, not knowing what to do next.
"Brother Rufeng, what should we do next?"
"Let's leave this area first, stay away from here, and see if there are any monsters attacking us and stealing our things. If there are, we will just leave."
Tang Rufeng looked at the packages in his group's hands, which contained their gains from entering the secret realm this time. Since the big cat came along, their efficiency in finding things had increased significantly.
The things they obtained were obviously the most among other teams that entered the secret realm.
Not to mention that there are now so many more fruits that may be coveted.
They came here to get resources, not to travel. The secret realm does not have a fixed time limit for them to stay before leaving, so leaving at this time is obviously the best option.
It was just right that they went out early, so there wouldn't be so many mutated animals and plants outside, and other teams of ability users were still in the secret realm, so no one would have any bad thoughts after seeing their harvest.
Thinking of this, he led the others directly to the exit.
No one else disagreed with Tang Rufeng's decision. Even though some of them were reluctant to give up the other things in the secret realm, they knew they couldn't carry so many things and it was useless to be greedy.
It was easy to get out. They took the opposite route from other teams, so they wouldn't run into each other and got out smoothly.
"You have great luck. Along the way, only a few weak monsters attacked you, and nothing else happened."
When the big cat held by the stone saw them approaching the exit of the secret realm, it looked back at the place where it grew up and finally sighed like this.
"Huh? What do you mean? Our luck seems to have always been like this. Sister Tangtang's luck wasn't very good before, but this time her luck was stable. Nothing went wrong, so it was pretty stable."
After hearing what the big cat said, Shitou carried it while walking, looking at the big cat with his head tilted, his face full of confusion.
Their luck has always been like this.
"You haven't been attacked by any demonic plants since you came in. The only attacks you encountered were from small demonic beasts. And you even encountered a demonic beast like me to show you the way. You've received so many things. Aren't you lucky?"
Facing Shitou's normal expression, the big cat swung its tail quickly and patted Shitou's waist, its voice a little excited.
"Um...from what you said, it seems our luck is really good."
After listening to what the big cat said, Shitou thought about it and vaguely realized something.
Without comparison, he couldn't imagine how good it was.
"Stone, what are you talking to it?"
After hearing what Shi Tou said, the other people nearby vaguely guessed something, but they also wanted to have some sense of participation, so they interrupted and asked a question.
When someone asked, Shitou didn't hide it and told everyone else about his conversation with the big cat.
Now it was the others' turn to be silent.
Tang Tang glanced at the senior student walking next to her. She was using the power of a wood-type mushroom to clear the grass leaves under their feet to make it easier for her to walk.
The main reason was that the senior sister had seen how unlucky Tang Tang had been in the past, and she was afraid that something might happen to Tang Tang in this secret realm. Even with a protective shield on, he could still be tripped by grass leaves and thrown several miles away. The senior sister could only clear out all the possible unlucky points that she could think of in advance.
Knowing about the senior sister's actions, Tang Tang never felt that her luck had improved. Her luck had been stabilized by the senior sister until now. The reason she didn't have any bad luck later was that the senior sister had eliminated it in advance.
Now, suddenly hearing what Shi Tou and the big cat said, Tang Tang subconsciously turned his gaze to Tang Rufeng and the others.
"Maybe you were lucky and brought others up as well?"
Tang Tang looked at the others and said with a smile.
“I don’t know.”
After listening to this topic, Tang Rufeng gave up participating in it.
He vaguely guessed where their luck came from.
When they were going down the mountain, they got locust leaves from their godmother, and they still hang them around their necks.
According to Tang Rufeng's guess, their success must have been due to the blessing of their godmother.
Otherwise, in terms of luck, they didn't have an advantage before, and now they have improved so much, there must be a source.
Captain Qingzhi had thought of what Tang Rufeng could think of. He exchanged a glance with Tang Rufeng and tacitly agreed not to remind anyone else.
The luck given by godmother is useful. It’s enough for them to know it. Telling others will only cause trouble for godmother.
After leaving the secret realm, they headed back towards Daxi Village as quickly as possible.
The temperature outside had already reached a high level before they entered the secret realm. This time, as soon as they came out of the secret realm, they felt a heat wave coming.
"Boy, the temperature outside must have risen again."
As soon as he walked out of the secret realm, Hu Zi stood at the door of the secret realm waiting for others for two minutes. The sweat accumulated on his forehead had begun to drip down.
"Let me see how hot it is today."
Tang Tang came out and stood a little further away from Hu Zi. It was hot and everyone was feeling warm, so she didn't want to get too close to other people.
"Is it so hot even with the shield on?"
"That's right, otherwise why would I check the temperature?"
Faced with the question, Tang Tang didn't take it seriously. He didn't stop his hands and looked at the communicator attentively while answering.
"Oh my god, it's 58 degrees today!"
After Tang Tang saw the temperature clearly on the communicator, he exclaimed in surprise.
"In this weather, people who are still outside will be scorched to death, right?"
Having said that, Tang Tang glanced at the others and answered on his own.
"Oh, we are capable people, so we can handle the sun."
Shitou was still holding the big furry cat, but he was hotter than the others. During the time they were talking, his sweat had already wet part of the cat's fur.
"Why is it so hot here?"
Before Shitou could speak, Big Cat felt a little cheated, and his tone of voice was filled with aggrieved.
However, even though it felt wronged, in order to prevent its fur from being completely soaked by the boy's sweat, it still used its magic power to open an isolation shield to isolate some of the temperature.
Feeling the temperature around him drop suddenly and then stop at a suitable temperature, Shitou breathed a sigh of relief, stuck out his tongue, and relaxed. He had time to answer the big cat.
"I heard from adults that our world is experiencing a spiritual revival, so the weather is a bit extreme. A while ago, we were experiencing extremely heavy snow, and ice knives were falling from the sky."
"Spiritual energy is reviving? Was your place a world without spirits before?"
After hearing what Shi Tou said, Big Cat immediately grasped the meaning of his words.
Although the big cat was born in a secret place, it is not a short-sighted monster.
The monsters that can live in the secret realm are either those who have lived in the secret realm since its inception, or those who can no longer stay in the world of cultivation and have to escape into the secret realm in order to survive.
That's what big cat elders are like.
Therefore, after the big cat formed the demon pill, it obtained much more inheritance than some native demon beasts in the secret realm.
"We were just ordinary people before, and then one day, we suddenly awakened our special powers."
Shitou didn't quite understand some of the words that Big Cat used, he could only understand them roughly. He didn't ask about them specifically, but he would know them later.
"Okay."
The big cat accepted the fact that he suddenly came to a small world where spiritual energy had just been revived and needed to be upgraded.
Anyway, it won't be worse than waiting in the secret realm for the next time the secret realm opens to the world of cultivation, and then being flooded with cultivators. It will be killed by the cultivators, its body turned into materials, or eaten by other monsters.
After all, this world can still be used for cultivation, and the humans here can treat it.
Thinking about it, Big Cat put aside his confused thoughts and stopped asking.
While they were talking, everyone else had already come out of the secret realm and was now integrated.
"Brother Rufeng, should we find a safer place and wait until the world is gone before leaving at night? Otherwise, we probably won't be able to leave."
We found their car parked in a shady area. They had checked beforehand that it would not be exposed to direct sunlight, but even so, the temperature inside the car was still alarming.
For them, getting into a car now is like getting into an oven.
"That's the only way, Captain. Why don't you go for a walk in the car with Brother Fan and the others?"
Tang Rufeng accepted the suggestions of other people with special abilities. He also needed to take a ride. In the current temperature, he could guess what the consequences would be if he got in.
And, is it enough to just get in the car? No, their car still needs to start and they still need to go home under the scorching sun.
In this weather, even those awakened ability users can hardly bear it. The car has only been simply modified and has been under the scorching sun, so it can't withstand it at all.
After hearing what Tang Rufeng said, Qingzhi and Brother Fan were speechless.
It was the first time they knew that the ghost energy around them could act as an air conditioner.
Well, they've been there before.
After coming out of the secret realm and noticing the surrounding weather, Tang Rufeng directly summoned Brother Fan and the others.
Captain Qingzhi always followed Tang Rufeng, while the others floated around other people with special abilities, cooling them down with their cool breath.
They should have known then that they had become portable air conditioners.
"Okay, we'll go for a spin in the car every once in a while. It should be ready for people when we leave tonight."
Qingzhi had no objection to Tang Rufeng's arrangement.
"Brother Rufeng, I'll go too. My ability can also reduce the temperature."
A person with ice abilities stepped forward, wanting to join Captain Qing and the others.
"You don't have to. Captain Qing and the others only need to go around once. You have to open the door and so on, which will waste time. You can just stay by our side and cool us down."
Tang Rufeng did not agree with her proposal.
It's so hot now. People with ice-type abilities only have the ability of ice, which can cool people down, but it doesn't mean they are not afraid of heat.
"Okay, I'll trouble you guys, Brother Qingzhi."
Despite Tang Rufeng's objection, the ice-type ability user did not insist. Tang Rufeng had his considerations for the arrangement. He did not let her go because he was worried about her.
"Captain Rufeng, I have some ice mushrooms here. After I activate them, I'll have Captain Qingzhi and the others take them over and put them next to the car. They might be useful."
After the ice-type speaker in front finished speaking, the senior sister spoke.
She has been growing mushrooms most of the time since she came up the mountain. During this time, she has already figured out those mushrooms thoroughly. With her own improved abilities, she can now directly activate mushrooms with certain characteristics.
"Okay, but do you have enough mushrooms?"
Hearing her say this, Tang Rufeng nodded and agreed.
"It's enough. I know what the situation is like out there, so this is most of the mushrooms I brought when I went out."
When Tang Rufeng asked, the senior sister did not hide anything.
In the face of this heat, the ice system can not only reduce the temperature, but also has a certain attack ability. After the ice melts, it turns into water, which can alleviate their lack of water to a certain extent.
"That'll do."
Hearing this, Tang Rufeng nodded, indicating that she could start arranging her mushrooms.
They waited like this for several hours, and in the meantime they observed the situation of the secret realm gate.
Those mutated animals and plants seemed to know the situation outside, and none of them came out since they went in.
However, during the time they were observing, a team of people with special abilities came out injured.
However, although they had injuries on their bodies, their expressions were relaxed. It was obvious that they had obtained something good. Only this happy event could make them ignore the pain in their bodies.
The team did the same as them. After knowing the current weather and temperature, they found a secluded place to hide and wait for dark.
As night fell, Tang Rufeng and his team prepared to go back.
They traveled day and night when they got here. Although the temperature was rising and a little hot at that time, it was still within the tolerable range. But even so, it took them several days to reach the destination.
It seems that they can only open at night when they go back, so the time they take to go back will obviously be doubled.
That's it, and that's in an ideal situation where the car doesn't break down due to high temperatures.
If the car breaks down, they will be delayed for at least a day.
They had a bumpy journey and finally returned home more than half a month later.
When they returned home, they were no different from beggars.
They were afraid that the resources brought out from the secret realm would go bad, especially the fruits, so they directly asked the ice-type ability users to use their abilities to look after those resources.
Whenever the ice showed signs of melting, she would use her ability to reinforce it, thus maintaining the temperature of the fruits and resources in the ice box.
Without the melted water, their water source was only enough to maintain just enough to drink, no more.
Because of this, they could only simply scrub themselves clean at first, but even that couldn't cover up the sweat odor on their bodies, so they simply gave up and went back like that.
They could still bear it when they were on the bus, but when they got off to rest during the day, each one of them became an independent individual, and they would feel disgusted if they got a little close to each other.
After enduring this long time, they finally arrived home.
The situation in the village is much better than theirs. Knowing that the weather is getting better, the people are consciously saving water. In addition, there is ice and snow stored before, and water-based people in the mountains, so there is no shortage of water for the time being.
When they first arrived in the village, anyone who saw them would be choked by their odor if they got a little close.
Finally, several people with water abilities came together to give them water, which allowed them to have a good wash.
It is worth mentioning that there was not enough water in the middle, and it was Xiao Shuer and Nuonuo who stepped up to provide them with enough water for a bath.
Currently, most of the water in Daxi Village is provided by Shushu and Nuonuo. Although they are young, they are very capable.
Shushu was trained by her mother when she was carried to the fields to water the crops. Nuonuo was her little stone statue after it was fused with scales and it was also of the water element, so it was even stronger in water.
Tang Rufeng had anticipated the situation in the village from the beginning, but he didn't expect Shushu and Nuonuo to do so well.
“They’re all amazing!”
Whenever other elders in the village mention the children of their generation, they always praise them.
The older ones can already support themselves in this world, and the smaller ones are not weak either, so they have no problem guarding a piece of land.
If it weren't for the current severe natural disaster, these children would be the ones that the government would focus on training.
However, the situation is serious now. Even though the people above know that they are capable, they dare not recruit people with abilities from these small places at will. It is best to maintain the status quo.
However, although the status quo is maintained, it does not mean giving up training.
The official has put a set of learning materials online, covering elementary school to high school, and because of the revival of spiritual energy, a set of courses for improving abilities have also been compiled.
According to the official plan, once the world stabilizes, they will directly start the examination and establish an official university for people with special abilities.
However, this is just a hypothesis, and it is still unclear what will happen in the future, so the authorities have not directly asked parents to force their children to study.
This world no longer has to rely on studying to get ahead. Special abilities and strength are the most important.
"What did you bring back this time? How could you make yourselves so embarrassed?"
After seeing Tang Rufeng and the others tidy themselves up one by one, Village Chief Wu appeared, fanning himself with a large palm-leaf fan, his brows furrowed due to the heat.
"It's so hot, why are you here, Village Chief? We can come find you later."
Seeing the village chief coming over, Tang Rufeng hurriedly asked Brother Fan to stand next to the village chief.
There was a mobile air conditioner standing beside him. Village Chief Wu's brows relaxed a little, but he was still sweating. His clothes were soaked and then dried due to the high temperature and body temperature. When they got wet again, white frost was clearly visible on the clothes.
"Don't worry, our physical fitness has obviously improved. In this weather, we would have died of sunburn in the past, but now I can still jump out and walk around."
After hearing what Tang Rufeng said, Village Chief Wu waved the hand holding the palm-leaf fan, bringing up a gust of hot wind.
Seeing that Village Chief Wu really had no problem, Tang Rufeng began to answer the village chief's previous questions.
"We were fine in the secret realm. We didn't encounter any problems and got out safely. After we got out, we spent even more time on the way home. After all, we can't drive on the road during the day, and we dare not drive too fast at night for fear that the car will break down."
“…”
Tang Rufeng did not hide anything and directly told everyone about what he and his companions had experienced along the way.
They go out and work hard, but they don't want others to think that they don't suffer any hardship.
But judging from the way they came back before, even if Tang Rufeng didn't say it, others knew how difficult it was for them.
"You've been gone for quite a while. The secret realm on our back mountain has grown a bit. Don't go out for the time being. Wait until the secret realm is fully opened and see what Godmother says. Then I'll make arrangements for you."
After all, they were children he had watched grow up. How could Village Chief Wu not feel distressed when he saw them in such a miserable state? Fortunately, they received a message from their godmother before they came back.
But my godmother is not sure about the news. Once she is sure, the children in the village probably won’t have to run so far to find the secret place.
At this time, the village chief still wanted Tang Rufeng and the others not to run so far to take the risk.
Little did people know that the secret realm also has an opening time.
The resources inside are limited. Every time the secret realm opens, some of them will be taken out. If they don't go, others will go. As others' strength increases, if their improvement speed is slow, they will fall behind.
This is not the situation Tang Rufeng wants to see.
However, Tang Rufeng didn't have time to argue with the village chief now. He also knew that the village chief was worried about them and wanted to do it for their own good, so he didn't say much. He put the things he brought back with his godmother, asked his godmother to help preserve them in the space, and then went back to rest.
Ever since the weather got hot, the village was still hot even with Ying Huai's spiritual energy shield.
In order to sleep peacefully at night and lie on the ground to cool down during the day, everyone in the mountain started playing whack-a-mole and dug a cooler basement in their home.
Although the space is not large, at least it allows them to rest in a slightly cooler place without having to worry about the daytime heat.
Ying Huai just watched Tang Rufeng run towards him, put down a bunch of things and left. After that, he lay down at home for two days and slept for two days before he recovered.
Not only him, but all the people with special abilities who went out this time were the same.
After such a long time, only the last time they came down the mountain after the earthquake and this time made them so tired.
Thinking of this, Ying Huai glanced at the fruits and some miscellaneous resources in his space. It must have been really hard for these children to bring back so many things.
Ali and Hu Hu were playing on the back mountain. There was a door that was always open and kept expanding. Although they couldn't enter the secret realm, it was cooler to move around there than in other places.
So not only them, but also other small animals in the village went there.
Thinking about this, Ying Huai couldn't help but think of the leopard that Shi Tou had brought back before.
It looks familiar.
But when Shitou came back before, he looked so miserable, and the leopard was also covered in dirt. Maybe I was seeing things.
Thinking of this, Ying Huai turned his attention back to the village and looked in the direction of the stone room.
Not seeing anything, I gave up and withdrew my attention.
After noticing that Tuna's attention had been withdrawn, the big cat nestled in the stone room breathed a sigh of relief.
It also didn't expect that when it just wanted to find a chance to survive, it actually encountered a big monster in this small world where spiritual energy had just been revived!
If it hadn't used its innate skill at the critical moment to conceal its own aura, it would probably have been a meal for the big monster.
Frightened like this, the big cat didn't even want to leave the stone room.
Fortunately, it has a ready-made reason: it is not in good health and doesn't want to go out.
For this purpose, Shitou specially found Dr. Fu to come to the big cat's home to treat him.
Simply put, the big cat had injured the spine and damaged the nerves.
In the current situation, surgery is unrealistic. It would be better to hope to find a high-level and stronger healing person to comb and treat the big cat. Only then will there be hope of a cure.
After hearing what Dr. Fu said, Shi Tou was disappointed, but he didn't give up. When he brought the big cat out of the secret realm, he knew it might be difficult and he was mentally prepared.
After all, if it was so easy to cure, the big cat would just find something to heal itself in the secret realm, and there would be no need to find a stone to bring it out.
Shitou thought about it for several days, and finally found Ying Huai, wanting to ask his godmother to find a way to save the big cat.
Everyone in the family knew what Shitou had been busy with these days. Considering that Shitou was already ten years old, a big boy who could already stand on his own, they did not take the initiative to get involved before Shitou opened his mouth.
However, after Shitou tried every possible way and failed, he suggested going to find his godmother. They didn't object, but instead put the offering materials that had been prepared in advance in a small basket and handed it to him.
"Go ahead, Shitou. If you want to treat this big cat yourself, you need to impress your godmother with your sincerity."
Shi Tou's father thought it was too hot outside and didn't even think of letting his son carry the basket. After hanging the basket on Shi Tou, he waved his hand to signal him that he could go out with his big cat.
"Who do you want to take me to? My condition is very difficult to treat, and it will take many years for me to recover on my own."
The big cat was carried out by the stone without any intention of resisting. The stone even used its magic power to create an isolation shield to keep the stone at a suitable temperature.
Ever since the big cat learned that the world where the stones were located was previously a world without spirits and that spiritual energy had only recently revived, he no longer placed his hopes of treating them.
What I am thinking about now is how long it will take for me to heal my injuries.
It is acceptable to recover on your own even if it takes a long time. It is better than death.
But seeing that the stone was running for itself, it did not stop it.
After all, it has never seen the abilities of those healing people in this world.
This world is so different from the world of cultivation. What if those people with healing abilities can really cure it?
"I'll take you to see your godmother. Don't worry, even if she can't treat you, she can still figure out where the opportunity to treat you is. We'll wait for you then!"
Shitou didn't feel tired at all while holding a big cat that kept wagging its tail. Because of the magic power isolation shield, he walked all the way without even breaking a sweat, and soon arrived under the locust tree at the entrance of the village.
The big cat looked at the big monster that was getting closer and closer to it, and its two ears puckered down to become two airplane ears. Its head became round and very cute.
Just when it was holding its breath, thinking that Shitou would carry it quickly past the big monster and go find his powerful godmother, Shitou stopped at the entrance of the village.
He put the big cat in his hand on a cleaner ground, then reached out and rubbed the big cat's head.
"Don't be afraid. Although my godmother is strong, she has a good temper."
After Shitou finished purring, the big cat started to relax. He then turned around to pack up the basket he had brought out and put out all the things Shitou's father had prepared. He arranged the things in the order he had arranged them for the elders in the family before and lit all the things that needed to be lit.
"Godmother, Shitou has no choice. We have a sick big cat at home. It's so pitiful..."
After the arrangement was completed, the stone just followed the routine and started to howl while hugging the locust tree.
This series of actions left the big cat stunned.
Big, big demon...Stone Godmother? ? ? !
The pupils in my eyes trembled and thunder buzzed in my head.
The big cat just lay on the ground, staring at Stone's back, frozen for a long time, not knowing how to move so as not to appear out of place.
It's not that it is ignorant. In its cognition and inherited memory, big monsters are the kind that kill each other. When the Fire Cloud Cat clan encounters one, they will stay away from it.
If it hadn't been unable to move freely this time, it would have hidden somewhere and would not have seen this scene.
It's unbelievable that a big monster becomes the godmother of a human boy?
Thinking about the name the boy’s parents called her before they left, could it be that this big monster is the godmother of so many humans?
When this thought came into its mind, the big cat tilted its head back and bumped into a stone pillar nearby without paying attention, which brought it back to its senses.
Just at this time, Ying Huai also watched Shi Tou finish his performance and began to stop Shi Tou from taking any further actions.
Shitou was not very tactful when he made his confession for the first time, and Ying Huai was afraid that he would really make himself cry and snot.
Sensing the words appearing in his mind, Shitou stopped crying and knelt quietly, waiting for his godmother's next words.
While waiting, he saw the big cat in this state, and took the time to reach out and support the big cat's head, and whispered softly in the big cat's ear.
"Don't worry, Big Cat. Let's wait and see if Godmother can help."
After Shitou finished speaking, he just waited quietly.
Ying Huai was not thinking about how to find a therapist for the leopard. He was observing the big cat.
He had felt that the big cat looked familiar, but he had no time to observe it before. Now that the big cat was approaching him, Ying Huai certainly would not miss this opportunity.
"Are you, the little fellow from the Fire Cloud Cat Clan?"
Ying Huai looked for a long time before he could barely see its appearance from under the cover of the big cat.
After seeing the tuft of white hair on the big cat's forehead, combined with the method of covering itself, he finally confirmed his idea.
It makes sense. Only the Fire Cloud Cat clan has this method to conceal the perception and vision of the big monsters.
After hearing Ying Huai's words, the big cat didn't move a muscle, its ears were almost invisible, and it lacked the courage to even answer.
Seeing the frightened look on the little Fire Cloud Cat's face, Ying Huai knew that he couldn't ask what he wanted to ask today, so he didn't insist.
"Don't worry, I'll have a little guy come over in a couple of days to treat you. The injury isn't serious and can be treated."
Ying Huai smiled, not caring that his words were not answered. He finished speaking and then answered Shi Tou's words.
"Thank you, Godmother! Big Cat, that's great! Godmother said she knows a mutant plant that can heal you. She'll have it come and treat you in a couple of days."
When Shitou heard Ying Huai's words, he was so happy that he didn't even have time to put away his things. He just picked up the big cat and ran home, laughing all the way.
Ying Huai watched the two little guys walk away, and saw that the Wu family had prepared food in the basket under the tree. If he didn't take so much food back, it wouldn't go to waste under such a strong sun. By the time he came to pick it up, it would probably have been sunburned into hard lumps.
After thinking about it, Ying Huai decided to put the stone away.
The reason why Ying Huai said two days was because the little guy in the mountains behind had just come out of the secret realm these two days and was still digesting the things he brought out, so he didn't want to disturb him rashly.
After the little guy absorbs everything, his strength will probably increase a lot, and it will be easy to treat the little Fire Cloud Cat.
With his godmother's words, Shitou was no longer in a hurry to take the big cat to see a doctor, and waited at home with peace of mind.
The little Fire Cloud Cat has been busy these past two days, and has learned everything about Ying Huai from Shi Tou.
When it heard that the big monster at the entrance of the village had been in this area for more than a hundred years, even before the spiritual energy was revived, it was stunned again.
What a powerful demon this must be! In such a spiritless world, he could rely on his own demonic power to last for so long, and even last until the spiritual energy revived.
As for why it didn't guess that the big monster at the entrance of the village was a local monster at that time, it was even simpler. Their Fire Cloud Cat clan did not have such great ability to have tribes in every world.
Just looking at the fact that they hid in the secret realm in order to avoid the cultivators, we can tell that their strength allows them to come and go freely in some secret realms, but they don't have much chance of winning against the cultivators outside.
The reason why the big monster knew about their clan was either because the big monster lived in the world of cultivation or because the Fire Cloud Cat went to the big monster's original secret realm and learned about their clan.
With this guess, and seeing that the other party had no intention of eating it after knowing it was a Fire Cloud Cat, the little Fire Cloud Cat was not so nervous anymore.
The Fire Cloud Cat reaches adulthood at the age of 200, but it is only 150 years old now. It is not yet an adult, and the white hair on its forehead has not started to turn red. That is why Ying Huai called it Little Fire Cloud Cat after seeing this little guy clearly.
It is calculated purely based on the time it took for it to reach adulthood, rather than its size. According to its size, it is not small.
Two days was a short time. The muddy people on the mountain behind came over as soon as they heard Ying Huai's call.
After checking the injuries of the little Fire Cloud Cat, Lianzhe took half a month to heal it.
The big cat, which was half the height of Ali, was very happy to stand up again. It was no longer afraid of Ying Huai. With mud on its head, it started to circle around Ying Huai.
When it thought the world could not cure it, it encountered a sudden turn of events. It must have been very happy.
"Okay, I know you're happy. It's so hot outside, you should go back quickly. This muddy little thing also needs to go back and rest."
The mutant plant Nihuhuhu has been very tired these days. After hearing Ying Huai's words, it jumped down from the Fire Cloud Cat's head, dug with its roots, and disappeared into the soil in a few seconds.
Seeing the mutant plants leave, Fire Cloud Cat licked his lips reluctantly and looked up at Ying Huai.
"Godmother, I will come to play with you in the future~"
Judging from the Fire Cloud Cat's cries, it was obvious that it was following the Stone.
Ying Huai had been called godmother by so many people for such a long time that she had long been numb to it. But when she heard Huoyunmao calling her like that, she still felt the same numb feeling as when she first came to this world and felt the electric shock running through the tree.
It's numb, there's no way to change it.
Ying Huai was also convinced.
What could he do? He couldn't speak before he transformed, but more and more people called him godmother.
At first, it was the villagers of Daxi Village on the mountain, then those from the upstream village, then the residents of the town at the foot of the mountain who went up the mountain, and now, those bases in the city that planted his branches have also started to shout.
The reason they shouted like this was that the people on the mountain who shouted "godmother" brought it up while surfing the Internet.
Yes, that's right. Ying Huai, a tree that didn't have any cubs, now has more than thirty bases of human cubs.
What else could Ying Huai do? They were just a bunch of fragile people who liked to call their mother godmother!
Seeing that Ying Huai didn't answer, Huoyun Cat took it as his agreement, raised his head in satisfaction and turned away.
Seeing the big cat looking so proud, Shitou was very happy to follow it. It was so cute to see the tuft of white fur bouncing when the big cat walked.
Seeing them all leave, Ying Huai focused his attention on the mountains behind.
There is a secret place over there that has been open for a long time.
The door to the secret realm was very small at the beginning, but now it can accommodate mutant animals like Alihuhu. But even so, the door to the secret realm has not stopped expanding.
The size of the secret realm gate represents the size of the secret realm to a certain extent.
Although some places on Blue Star are different from the world of cultivation due to the Small Heavenly Dao, they are connected in some directions.
With the appearance of such a large secret realm, there must be more dangers inside. What does the Heavenly Dao think?
