Of the two people, one suffered serious external injuries, and the other had his supernatural powers severely depleted and could not withstand injuries of varying degrees.

It was unrealistic to continue moving forward, so Qiao Xin put the snake's body into the space, and unskillfully operated the mutated plants, taking the two of them to wander in the swamp.

The bleeding on Lang Rui's body stopped. He sat on the tentacles of the plant and hugged Lang Yu. "Let's find a place to rest."

Qiao Xin couldn't hold on for long. Her energy core was empty and she couldn't squeeze out any energy to continue controlling the mutated plants.

Unfortunately, there was no one around. Qiao Xin took off her night vision goggles and closed her eyes. The aftereffects of wearing them for a long time came out. Her eyes were red and burning with pain.

Lang Rui stretched out his hand, but it hovered above Qiao Xin's eyes, and finally slowly put it down, "I'm sorry for getting you into trouble."

Qiao Xin rolled her eyes at him. She didn't want to hear the words "I'll be angry if you say that again."

Lang Rui hooked Qiao Xin's chin and chuckled, "Got it, I won't say it again."

Lang Rui's eyesight was better than Qiao Xin's. He quickly found a small hill and pointed in a direction. "There's a hill over there. Let's go there to rest."

Qiao Xin swallowed several pills in succession to replenish her empty energy core.

The low slope was surrounded by water, but the mutant plants were not affected by it. Qiao Xin operated the mutant plants. Lang Rui stood up, holding his tentacles, and was alert to the surroundings. Until the mutant plants approached the low slope, they did not suffer any attacks. Except for the occasional sound of bubbles in the soil, there was basically silence around.

Lang Rui jumped down first, and after eliminating the danger, he reached out to pick up Qiao Xin and Lang Yu.

As soon as Qiao Xin's feet touched the ground, she almost fell to the ground. Lang Rui picked her up and gently put her on the ground.

Qiao Xin took out all the things needed for survival in the wild, and also brought a large basin of spiritual spring water. Lang Rui went forward and soaked Lang Yu in it.

He quickly set up the tent, turned around, carried Qiao Xin in, and tucked her into the quilt.

"You take a good rest, I'll keep watch."

Qiao Xin knew that now was not the time to be hypocritical, nor was it the time to feel sorry for her partner. Only when one person rested well and the other person rested, could safety be guaranteed.

She closed her eyes and forced herself to fall asleep quickly. After a while, fatigue came over her and she fell asleep in seconds.

Lang Rui saw that Qiao Xin had fallen asleep, so he turned around and moved Lang Yu into the tent.

The mutant plant stood quietly aside.

Lang Rui used a flint to ignite the hay. The flame licked the charcoal and soon turned red. Lang Rui placed the pot on the ceramic stove and poured in clean spiritual spring water.

He turned around to check the food Qiao Xin had taken out: a bag of rice, a bag of dried meat, a bag of dried pickles, and some ground beans.

While Lang Rui was roasting a fire, he poured the rice into the pot. He used a dagger to peel the ground beans, cut them into small pieces and put them in the pot one by one.

Lang Rui rinsed the dried meat and pickles with water and threw them in.

In order to save water, Lang Rui could only throw all the food into the pot and stew it. After more than two hours, Lang Rui drank the first bowl of hot porridge.

Lang Rui ate with great relish. This was the first hot meal he had had in two months. He ate half of the pot and still felt unsatisfied. Lang Rui was not full, but he did not continue. He covered the pot, added a bowl of water, took out some of the charcoal, and changed to a low heat for a slow cooker.

Lang Rui took out his animal skin bag from the basket, took out his notebook, and began to draw a map, marking various animals, plants, and the environment.

They worked hard until late at night, during which time Lang Rui added water to the pot twice.

Maybe it was because he smelled the fragrance or what, but Lang Yu opened his eyes for the first time, crawled out unsteadily, and when he reached the door, he tilted his head and tears started to drip out.

Lang Rui heard the noise and went forward to hug him, "What's wrong?"

Lang Yu didn't even have the strength to shake his head, his eyes were fixed on the pot of steaming porridge.

Lang Rui understood and served a small bowl. After cooking for so long, the rice grains had basically melted into the water and became quite thick. Lang Yu opened his mouth and waited to be fed.

Lang Rui had no choice but to pour some spiritual spring water into it until it was no longer hot before feeding it to him.

After eating a few spoonfuls, she slowly closed her eyes and nestled in Lang Rui's arms, motionless.

He was so scared that he knocked over the bowl in his hand. Regardless of the porridge spilling all over the floor, he reached out to touch his carotid artery. He didn't feel a faint beat until he breathed a sigh of relief.

Just be fine.

Lang Rui swallowed hard, staggered several times before he stood firm, and carried Lang Yu back to the tent.

Qiao Xin woke up, "?"

Seeing that she had woken up, Lang Rui explained, "She woke up, drank a few mouthfuls of porridge, and fell asleep again."

Qiao Xin breathed a sigh of relief and climbed out of bed yawning. Just a few hours did not eliminate the long-term accumulation of fatigue in her body. She felt more tired the more she slept.

But Qiao Xin didn't care about that and lied, "You take Langyu to rest, I'll keep watch."

The tent is made of shark fin yarn and is translucent. Lying in the tent, you can see the dark blue sky outside with twinkling stars.

"Okay." Lang Rui did not refuse.

When Qiao Xin came out, the porridge in the pot was a little mushy, but she didn't mind at all. She added a bowl of water, stirred it, and ate two bowls in one gulp.

The stomach, which had not had hot meals or hot soup for a long time, was temporarily satisfied, and some of the fatigue in the body was dispelled.

After eating, Qiao Xin did a set of radio gymnastics on the spot to stretch her muscles and bones, and then continued to work.

Qiao Xin took out a small pot, cut a piece of milk tofu into it, added a few bowls of water and a few bell flowers.

While stirring, Qiao Xin looked up at the unfamiliar starry sky above her head.

After two bowls of porridge and a bowl of milk tea, Qiao Xin was full. She wrapped herself in a down jacket and was alert to her surroundings.

The swamp was gloomy at night, with thick fog rolling in the distance, and visibility was even lower than during the day.

There was nothing to see, so Qiao Xin took out the materials and started making arrows out of boredom.

He had lost a lot of arrows in that battle and needed to replenish them urgently.

Qiao Xin has been living in the wild since she was a child and her senses are extremely sensitive. The slight dragging sound coming from a distance instantly made her stop what she was doing.

Lang Rui in the tent opened his eyes, and after a while, he carried Lang Yu on his back, opened the tent, and walked out.

The two men stood back to back, protecting Lang Yu in the middle, taking a defensive posture and looking towards the source of the sound.

Soon, a group of animals that looked like ducks but had huge feet flapped their wings and stopped just within sight.

The ducks' huge feet are more than twice as big as their bodies, holding their fat bodies firmly in the swamp and preventing them from sinking.

Is it a beast?

No, Qiao Xin quickly denied it. There was a vine rope tied to the duck, pulling something, and it was hidden in the fog.

Soon, Qiao Xin saw what the duck was dragging behind.

A moon-like boat with pointed ends and a big belly, with a fair-skinned female sitting on it.

The female asked, "Who are you? Why did you come to Mirror Moon Swamp?"

Qiao Xin and Lang Rui looked at each other. This person was talking about Jingyue Swamp, not Shuiyue Lake as outsiders called it.
