"Manxing, you are really strong. You must be practicing martial arts very hard."
Feng Ling got over the embarrassment and started talking with a smile.
"?"
"Why do you ask?"
Chen Manxing looked at Feng Ling beside him in confusion.
Feng Ling looked at Chen Manxing, who was a head taller than her, and turned around and spoke as a matter of course.
"I always like to slack off during martial arts training. Brother Zhou and Manxing, your martial arts skills are higher than mine, so you must be working very hard."
Shen Manxing didn't know what to say when he heard this.
Her great strength is natural, not due to martial arts training.
But in the end she just pursed her lips and said nothing.
"Hey~ If I had known I had to go out and gain experience, I wouldn't have been lazy. I should at least learn some Qinggong skills. Otherwise, it will be useless and will only hinder us."
She didn't mind that Shen Manxing ignored her. When she saw him reach the rest area, she grumbled softly and ran to set up a fire place.
"Manxing, you take a rest here, and I'll take care of the rest."
Chen Manxing looked at Feng Ling who was skillfully lighting a bonfire, and wanted to say that she was not as useless as she said.
At least he's diligent.
"Huh~Manxing, what are you holding in here?"
After a cup of tea, Zhou Shi'an and Jiang Yihe came back with ten fish.
After hearing Feng Ling's words, they both looked at Chen Manxing curiously as he untied the bag.
Then I saw a lot of red fruits pouring out of the bag.
"Berries?"
Jiang Yihe handed the rod with a string of fish on it to Zhou Shi'an in surprise, squatted down, weighed the fruit and spoke.
"Hmm? I don't know, it can quench your thirst."
Shen Manxing listened to the name, searched it in her mind, and found that she didn’t know her, so she shook her head silently.
"What kind of fruit is this that Jiang Yi is talking about? Don't keep me in suspense."
Feng Ling was also confused.
"Hey, let me explain this to you three. This fruit can restore depleted internal energy. However, some of them are green and look very similar to leaves before being picked. Most people don't know where this fruit comes from. It can be said that it is hard to find. I didn't expect that you could actually use it to quench your thirst."
Jiang Yihe said as he picked up a fruit, wiped it and took a bite.
Well~ it is true that it quenches thirst. As soon as you bite into it, the sweet juice fills your mouth and it does quench your thirst.
He looked at the mysteriously wrapped Shen Manxing and suddenly became curious about what she looked like.
"It's so amazing, have you and Jiang Yi eaten it before?"
Hearing this, Feng Ling picked up one curiously and tasted it.
"Of course, I have one at home."
"My family is rich, and I was lucky enough to eat one."
Jiang Yihe realized that he was almost exposed, so he quickly stopped and changed his words abruptly.
Fortunately, these words did not attract anyone's attention.
While the three of them were chatting, Zhou Jian had already quietly put the washed fish on the grill and started grilling.
After the others finished chatting, they quickly found a place to sit down and ate some fruit while waiting for Zhou Jian to grill the fish.
Because there was enough firewood, the fish started to sizzle after a while under the high fire.
It was baked in a quarter of an hour.
Feng Ling took the grilled fish and handed it to Chen Manxing impatiently.
After Zhou Jian sprinkled seasoning on the fish and grilled it, it not only looked golden, but also smelled fragrant.
"Manxing, try my senior brother's grilled fish. It's very delicious."
Shen Manxing nodded, lifted the curtain and took the stick.
"good."
"Manxing...you're so pretty."
Feng Ling was first shocked that Shen Manxing would lift the curtain, and then was astounded by Shen Manxing's enchanting appearance.
Before, in their team of three, if Zhou Shi'an was the cold and handsome guy, she was the cute and adorable girl, and Jiang Yihe was the type with a face that was more beautiful than a woman.
But now that she saw Chen Manxing's appearance, she realized that she was short-sighted before.
Chen Manxing is more handsome, but both of them have captivating facial features. The highlight of Chen Manxing is his overall features, while Jiang Yihe's eyes are more superior. To use a local saying, those eyes are "so affectionate that even looking at a tree is deadly!"
Because of Feng Ling's sigh, the other two glanced at him curiously, but they looked quickly for fear of being discovered.
Jiang Yihe was surprised that Shen Manxing, who was dressed as a female warrior, was so beautiful. She was completely different from the strong facial features he had imagined.
Chen Manxing seemed not to notice the astonishment of Feng Ling and the others. He calmly lowered his eyes and ate the grilled fish, determined not to speak if possible.
Soon, the four of them were enjoying the delicious grilled fish.
Feng Ling suddenly asked while looking at the center of the forest in the distance.
"I don't know what's going on inside. Could it be that the monsters are even more powerful? Jiang Yihe, do you know?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yihe looked up from eating fish, grinned, swallowed a piece of hot fish meat into his mouth, and opened his mouth without wiping it.
"You've come to the right person to ask that."
"This forest is full of magical beasts. The deeper you go, the higher the level of the beasts becomes. Therefore, the local people are daunted. But why do so many heroes come here? Besides the known training, they also come to hunt for treasures. It is said that in the heart of the forest lives a giant abyss python, guarding the 'Purple Gold Stone'.
Although this thing may sound like stone, it is used to reinforce the most critical defenses of the continent's renowned swords and sabers. Therefore, many knights who want to enhance the attributes of their weapons come here in droves."
"But most people either died in the center of the forest or never made it in. Over time, the rumors gradually died down."
"So that's how it is. Senior Brother, you are very knowledgeable. Have you heard of this rumor?"
Zhou Shi'an looked at his junior sister who tilted her head to look at him and shook her head lightly.
"Purple Gold Stone does have this function, but it's rare in the world. I don't know if it exists in the center of the forest."
Jiang Yihe, who was standing by, felt annoyed when she saw that Feng Lingqi always mentioned her senior brother in everything.
He is the one who is really knowledgeable!
"Oh~ Do you know Manxing?"
Feng Ling didn't notice Jiang Yihe's eyes. She nodded and looked at Chen Manxing who was standing quietly beside her.
Shen Manxing was listening to a conversation and eating grilled fish when he suddenly heard someone calling him. He was stunned for a moment before telling the truth.
“The center doesn’t have that.”
"Manxing, are you sure? This information has only been circulated so narrowly that some people don't even know what the Purple Gold Stone is."
When Jiang Yihe heard this, he narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Shen Manxing, with some scrutiny in his eyes, but his face showed only a curious question.
Unfortunately, Shen Manxing's expression remained indifferent, making it impossible for people to see any problems.
"I'm sure I've been there."
"There's only one kind of pink fruit there."
"Wow! Manxing, you're so amazing!"
As soon as Feng Ling heard the doubts of the other two young men, he chose to believe them.
There was no other reason, she just felt that Shen Manxing did not lie to her.
Shen Manxing pursed her lips and didn't respond. She rarely met such a lively person.
Fortunately, Feng Ling didn't mind her lack of response.
