The power of a single wild boar was already formidable, and now with two wild boars fighting, wasn’t the danger multiplied several times over?
"Don’t worry, don’t forget we’re cheating," Bai Junjun said calmly, patting Bai Sasa on the shoulder with meaning.
Bai Sasa glanced at her elder sister who could dismantle tree stumps with her bare hands and suddenly found herself... with nothing to say.
So the three of them reached a consensus, to head to the jungle to have a look once the rain stopped.
It seemed even the heavens felt they were unlucky enough, not having the heart to trouble them further, and the weather cleared up soon after they decided.
Bai Junjun then cheerfully called Bai Sasa and Xiao Shan to pack up and set out.
But what could their luggage possibly consist of?
Nothing more than those two sharp stone awls.
Hence, before going deeper into the jungle, Bai Junjun broke off several sharp branches from the coniferous shrubbery to bolster everyone’s courage.
The three one them boldly walked into the depths of the forest.
The farther they walked, the denser the vegetation became, and the giant trees disappeared, replaced gradually by the pines and cypresses they usually saw.
However, the deeper they went, the steeper the path became; it turned out to be a massive slope.
It was only then that Bai Junjun realized their location was at the very edge, heading towards the jungle side was an endless sea of trees, with no end in sight.
Along the way, they encountered many strange flowers and exotic fruits, but neither Bai Sasa nor Xiao Shan had seen them before. Adhering to the principle that avoiding action meant avoiding death, Bai Junjun had to reluctantly pass up these colorful fruits.
After walking for about half an hour, they reached a relatively flat area, where the mountains and rocks were chaotic, and the surrounding shrubs were mostly askew.
It was clear that the two wild boars had fought here, but it was unknown whether they had dispersed after the fight or moved elsewhere to continue.
In any case, the area was very quiet now.
Bai Junjun looked around at the boundless surroundings, and hope began to rise in her heart again.
When searching for Bai Lingyu in the morning, she thought that the place they were in was just a tiny area, so she felt incredibly heavyhearted.
Now, seeing the vast forest, she suddenly felt relieved.
The likelihood that Bai Lingyu had also fallen in this place was still quite high.
After drinking those two pitchers of water and cultivating while resting overnight, she would be able to use the plants’ sensibility to detect Bai Lingyu’s whereabouts the next day.
As Bai Junjun breathed a sigh of relief, Bai Sasa and Xiao Shan also breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, in their understanding, they did not believe they could defeat a wild boar, and the fact that they had come back empty-handed this time was truly a reason to be thankful.
The few who returned "disappointed yet joyful" returned to the camp while it was still not dark.
Bai Junjun continued to look for food at the riverbank, and soon caught another fish, which she considerately cleaned before bringing it back.
Which moved Bai Sasa deeply.
Tonight’s dinner was naturally fish soup again, and although there were no condiments, the river water was sweet, and the fish was freshly killed and cooked. Bai Junjun also cleverly added a few mint leaves to it.
Thus, the fish soup gained an additional layer of flavor, and overall, everyone was quite satisfied with their meal.
After eating, Bai Sasa even fetched a large bucket of water from the river to boil, and then the three of them finally had the most comfortable bath ever history here.
Bai Junjun was filled with emotions when she bathed in the warm water.
In The Apocalypse, water resources were scarce, and even someone as powerful as her didn’t have the luxury of bathing; only those with Water-series Abilities could produce bath water without limitations.
