Traveling through the world of beasts: Controlling the system and building infrastructure

Xiaofeng and his companions changed into animal forms and traveled quickly for several days. Finally, they crossed most of the forest and arrived at the southern part of Chenxing Forest.

It had been a long time since the last message was left on the system, and there had been no activity. It had been so long that An Ruochu began to wonder if the system had run away.

Fortunately, after An Ruochu checked, she found that the things in the backpack were still usable. This made her feel a little hopeful.

Without the system, An Ruochu was unsure of many things she encountered along the way. She was not sure whether they were the same as those on Blue Star, so she could only try to pick some that she could confirm.

There are many things in the southern part of the forest that are not found in the northern part. After An Ruochu and his friends had walked for a while, they saw rows of tall bamboos.

An Ruochu was somewhat excited as she walked in the lush bamboo forest. As a native northerner, she had never seen such a lush bamboo forest before.

She stood in the bamboo forest with her eyes closed, listening to the rustling sound of the bamboos when the wind blew through them. She gradually relaxed her body and mind, and when she opened her eyes again, she saw everyone looking at her in confusion.

"Ahem, let's keep going." An Ruochu touched his nose awkwardly.

Bamboo can be used to make many things, especially fine bamboo baskets. She plans to cut some bamboo when she returns, and now she has to look for other things to collect.

An Ruochu couldn't help thinking as he walked on the road.

I wonder if there are any national treasures in such a dense bamboo forest. When I read novels before, I saw that the heroine not only raised a furry national treasure, but also could trample on it at will. Every time I saw it, I felt itchy in my heart and wanted to go to the zoo overnight to steal one.

He walked in the bamboo forest in one direction for a long time. All he saw along the way were thick bamboos, and there was no trace of the bamboo shoots that An Ruchu had been longing for.

An Ruochu frowned. Logically, there were no signs of human activity here, and no one should be collecting bamboo shoots. How come there were no bamboo shoots to be seen?

God will not let down those who work hard. Walking deep into the bamboo forest, An Ruochu finally found a few bamboo shoots. They looked like winter bamboo shoots, and some of them had just sprouted small buds.

An Ruochu sighed, a little less.

He directed the orcs to work together to dig out all the bamboo shoots in this area. After all the bamboo shoots were dug out, everyone continued to move forward.

An Ruochu led everyone in the direction of the iron mine marked on the map in his memory.

"Xiao Feng, take these things back first. I and the others will move forward."

An Ruochu pointed at the bamboo shoots that had just been collected and looked at Xiaofeng.

"You take Silver Fang back with you."

Xiao Feng glanced at Yin Ya and winked at him.

"Put it on. I'll go."

As Yin Ya spoke, he changed into beast form and signaled the orc next to him to put the wicker basket on his back.

"Hey, Xiaofeng, let's go back. He's fast. Let's keep going forward. He'll catch up quickly."

"An An, do you hate me so much?" Xiao Feng's eyes were a little hurt, his light brown eyes were full of grievance, and he stared straight at An Ruchu.

"No, I didn't. I was just praising you for being fast. It's okay if you don't want Yin Ya to go." An Ruochu waved his hands and began to explain.

After listening to An Ruochu's explanation, Xiaofeng immediately put away his aggrieved expression, and his calm face showed no sign of aggrieved expression. He picked up the rattan basket and put it on Yin Ya's body.

Brother, where is your character? It's broken!

An Ruochu was speechless as she watched Xiaofeng's expression change so quickly.

The weight of three baskets of bamboo shoots plus the rattan basket was a bit of a stretch even for the strong Yin Ya. Seeing Xiao Feng trying to carry the fourth basket, Yin Ya cast a sad look at Xiao Feng.

"Wait, Yin Ya can't carry so much by himself. Let's go back and share it with Yin Ya."

Seeing that Yin Ya looked somewhat reluctant, An Ruochu stopped Xiao Feng's hand in time as he wanted to continue putting down the rattan basket.

If you continue to do that, the silver tooth will probably become a silver tooth cake.

When Yin Ya heard An Ruochu's words, he gave her a grateful look.

Finally, Yin Ya and Hei Feng took the bamboo shoots back together. Before leaving, An Ruochu asked them to tell Li Yu and Xiao Xi to cut the bamboo shoots into strips and dry them.

Yin Ya nodded, indicating that he had remembered it, and left with Hei Feng like a gust of wind.

An Ruochu led everyone to explore forward and picked up a lot of mushrooms.

As night fell, everyone found a place by the river and built a bonfire.

Xiao Feng and his men caught a Gugu beast, and after cleaning it skillfully, they put it on the fire. One Gugu beast was obviously not enough to fill the stomachs of five orcs, so An Ruochu asked them to catch some thorn beasts, cleaned them, and then ate them.

"An An, this is for you." Xiao Feng picked a piece of tender meat from the Cuckoo Beast and handed it to An Ruchu.

"Thank you." An Ruochu walked for a whole day, keeping his eyes on the ground, afraid of missing something to eat. Although the main purpose of this trip was to find iron ore, it would not be bad if he could find more food.

After eating and drinking, An Ruochu looked at the people who had turned into beasts with embarrassment.

You are bullying her for not being able to transform into a beast! I am angry!

Xiao Feng took out the animal skin from the wicker basket and handed it to An Ruchu.

An Ruochu hesitated for a long time but finally took it. The forest was quite colder than the house, and she didn't want to catch a cold in a place where there was no special medicine.

It was cold at night, and wrapped in animal skins, An Ruochu couldn't stand the cold at all. She curled up into a small ball, trying to get some warmth.

Xiaofeng, who was not far from her, saw this and felt a little guilty about not taking more animal skins with him.

Silently moved in the direction of An Ruochu.

An Ruochu sensed the warmth and immediately moved towards Xiaofeng, finally burying herself in Xiaofeng's thick hair so that she no longer felt cold.

Xiaofeng swept his furry tail, wrapping half of An Ruochu's body and blocking the howling cold wind for her.

The orcs who were on guard in the distance noticed the movement here. The two looked at each other, exchanged glances, and a smile appeared at the corners of their mouths.

Seeing Xiao Feng's unfriendly eyes looking at him, he pretended nothing had happened and turned away.

As soon as the sky brightened, Xiaofeng changed back into human form, tucked the animal skin into An Ruochu's hands, and then got up to catch prey.

An Ruochu woke up from the cold after a while.

It’s strange, why was it so warm just now but so cold now?

As the sun slowly rose, An Ruochu finally felt a little warmer. He folded the animal skins neatly and put them back into Xiaofeng's wicker basket.

Not long after An Ruochu put the animal skin back, Xiaofeng and his men came back with their prey.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they left some marks for Yin Ya and the other man before continuing on their journey.

Along the way, An Ruchu saw a lot of things that she thought did not look like weeds, but without the system to identify them, she did not dare to act rashly. She could only curse the system in her heart for being unreliable.

"stop!"

Xiaofeng, who was walking in front to explore the way, suddenly lowered his body and stopped the team.

Everyone else lowered their steps tacitly, only An Ruchu looked at everyone in confusion, trying not to make any noise.
