Chaos’s mind snapped awake in an instant.
She chewed and chewed, then spat out the leaf, and took a sharp breath of the river water. In the intense chill of the Silver Elixir Grass, she felt the water itself turn cold.
Bai Junjun held the water in her mouth several times before she got used to the temperature, but then she froze.
This... was the taste of the sap inside the giant tree before it was purified! After purification, it was only a bit sweeter than this.
So... was it that the water inside the giant tree lacked nutrients, or did the water here have nutrients just like the one inside the tree?
As Bai Junjun was lost in thought, Bai Sasa and Xiao Shan simultaneously let out exclamations.
"Wow! This water is so sweet!"
Because the water sources had been contaminated on their escape route, Bai Sasa and the others had developed the habit of not drinking water unless necessary. They hadn’t touched a drop of water since arriving here.
They were stunned the moment the water entered their mouths.
This... was nearly as good as Immortal Water, wasn’t it?
The two kids took a few more big gulps of water.
Helplessly, Bai Junjun watched them: "This water looks like spring water frozen solid, don’t drink too much early in the morning or you’ll get diarrhea."
"Ah? What?" The two kids looked confused.
"Diarrhea, loose stools." Bai Junjun explained in another way; it seemed that she still had to work on switching between the languages of different eras.
They only nodded after finishing the water in their hands: "We’ll be careful."
Their words were sincere, but there was no sign of regret in their actions.
Speaking of which, it had rained almost all night, and now the skies were finally clear.
Bai Junjun glanced at the stream: "Let’s go look for Xiao Yu after we eat."
At these words, Bai Sasa immediately nodded: "Okay!"
"Who’s Xiao Yu?" Xiao Shan asked with curiosity.
Bai Junjun paused, then touched his head and said, "Your good friend."
So, for the entire day, Xiao Shan was filled with curiosity about this familiar yet unknown friend.
Even Bai Junjun’s demonstration of her fishing technique couldn’t bring him back from the excitement of looking for his friend.
Speaking of fishing, the fish here were just like the frogs, all oversized.
Bai Junjun became even more curious.
What place was this? Why were all the animals and plants here so much larger than those from the outside world?
Bai Junjun had a faint suspicion that they had traversed to some strange era again, like the age of dinosaurs or something.
Otherwise, why would the creatures here be so enormous?
Thankfully, the pot they had made yesterday was big enough, and the fish could fit in it.
Bai Sasa simply stewed the fish in plain water, and everyone, not picky, drank the fish soup before heading out to search for the missing person.
However, this vast valley was also very strange.
It was shaped like a moon-shaped cup, surrounded by stone walls hundreds of feet high, with a clear stream pouring down from the walls.
Bai Junjun began to suspect that they had been sucked into some undercurrent by the vortex because she had wrapped everyone in a thick layer of seaweed. Hence, like fish, they had been spit out here.
The creatures here could not escape for years, had no natural predators to threaten them, and thus slowly became giants.
If that were the case, where would Bai Lingyu be?
Had he been spit out here with them or fallen into some other depression?
If it was the latter, where on earth should they start searching for him?
Bai Junjun’s thoughts grew more solemn.
Even though she hoped that Bai Lingyu would appear in her field of vision the next second, unfortunately, after wandering around the valley, they returned without any success.
