() "Sister Hongyao, thank you!" Luo Zhen said.

Fu Hongyao smiled slightly: "You're welcome. But if you want to practice those two secret skills, you must reach the elite level. You must practice hard first. Wait for you to practice... cough cough cough... cough cough cough..."

While talking, Fu Hongyao suddenly coughed, and spit out a stream of blood from his mouth.

Luo Zhen was startled: "Sister Hongyao, don't talk yet, lie down and rest!"

"It's okay, I was hit by the Wumo beast on the back and injured. I'll be fine after a short rest. Isn't there two fish, let me eat some first... I'm really hungry."

Fu Hongyao said.

Luo Zhen nodded, got up and said: "Okay, I'll find some firewood, and then light a fire to roast."

"Wait, don't go to the forest. This is a deserted island, there must be fierce beasts entrenched. Once discovered, how can you deal with it with your strength? Just take it and eat it raw." Fu Hongyao said.

Eat it raw?

Luo Zhen shook his head for a while, he couldn't imagine what it would be like for a girl to eat raw fish.Moreover, he himself was hungry now and had to eat.And as a chef, he was used to delicious food and couldn't stand the taste of raw fish at all.

It must be baked with fire!

So Luo Zhen said: "Sister Hongyao, don't worry, I just went to the edge of the forest to collect dry firewood, and I didn't go deep, so there will be absolutely no danger."

"It's really okay to eat raw."

"Sister Hongyao, I can't stand the smell of raw fish..." Luo Zhen insisted.

"Well, don't go too deep, and be careful." Fu Hongyao knew that Luo Zhen had made up his mind, so he didn't insist.

Indeed, ferocious beasts generally entrenched in the depths of the forest, and rarely moved outside. Luo Zhen just went to pick up some dry firewood, so there shouldn't be any problem.

"Then I'll go."

Luo Zhen turned around and walked quickly towards the forest.

After more than ten minutes, Luo Zhen finally came to the edge of the forest.

"I don't know how many years this forest has existed!" After approaching, Luo Zhen saw that the white mist was full of birch trees as high as [-] meters and as thick as seven or eight meters.

It takes at least 200 years for birch to grow to this extent.

"It's a pity that the birch wood is too soft to be suitable for shipbuilding, otherwise, it would definitely be a great asset."

Birch is a soft wood, and if it is used to build a ship, it cannot withstand the impact of wind, waves and beasts.Usually, this kind of wood is used to build some indoor furniture and the like, or to make firewood for fire.

"Birch is just right, it's easy to burn." Luo Zhen smiled slightly.

Walking into the forest carefully, Luo Zhen began to pick up dry firewood.However, it was found that there were basically no dead branches on the ground, only a thick layer of yellow leaves.

"Do you want to carry a bunch of leaves back? Then how to bake them!" Luo Zhen was depressed for a while.

If you hold a pile of leaves, it is estimated that the fish will be burned before it is cooked, unless he hugs it back and forth several times.However, this round trip would take 10 to [-] minutes. He could wait, but Fu Hongyao couldn't.

"If there are no dead branches, just go up the tree and break a few. Birch is oily wood, and fresh branches can be burned as well." Luo Zhen thought.

but--

The trees here are all [-] to [-] meters high, and they are so thick that his hands twice as long would not be able to hold them. How does this allow him to climb up?

"I can only find some low trees."

Luo Zhen began to look around.

Suddenly, Luo Zhen's eyes lit up, and the corner of his mouth showed joy: "There really is a small tree!"

More than 200 meters ahead, a birch tree that is only more than ten meters high and half a meter thick is hidden among many big trees. If the line of sight is not blocked from his position, it is estimated that this small tree would not be found.

"It's half a meter thick, so you can climb it."

Luo Zhen ran over quickly, hugged the tree trunk, alternated his legs, and began to climb up step by step.In less than a minute, Luo Zhen climbed to the top of the tree, and then began to break off the branches.

click!

click!

click!

Three of them were broken in a row, each of which was as thick as an arm and more than two meters long.These three branches are enough for him to grill fish three times in a row.

However, considering that it might be necessary to keep warm at night, Luo Zhen decided to get a few more to save the next trip.

however--

Just as Luo Zhen wanted to continue breaking branches, he suddenly heard a soft rustling sound in the forest!

"Huh?" Luo Zhen was startled, and shivered all over.

This is a deserted island, but every deserted island must be occupied by ferocious beasts, otherwise humans would have come up to live there long ago.Now, this strange noise suddenly appeared again...

Luo Zhen didn't dare to think about it.

Jumping down with a whoosh, Luo Zhen grabbed the three branches he threw on the ground and ran out quickly.

Ten meters, eight meters, two meters!

Finally ran out of the woods.

However, Luo Zhen still didn't dare to stop, and continued to run!

After running for another four or five minutes, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Fu Hongyao by the sea, stopped, and turned his head to look back.

Shrouded in clouds and mist, the forest was still silent, without any abnormality.

"Could it be that I am overthinking? It was just the sound of the wind blowing the leaves?" Luo Zhen was a little puzzled.

Thinking about it carefully, the sound is indeed a bit like the sound of leaves being blown by the wind. I am afraid that I am too sensitive.After all, on a deserted island, one's mind will be subconsciously tense, and one's judgment will inevitably be wrong.

"Eighty percent of you got it wrong!"

Luo Zhen shook his head, put aside these thoughts, and dragged the branches towards Fu Hongyao.

however--

Luo Zhen didn't know that just after he ran out of the forest, two strange, nearly transparent tentacles suddenly protruded from the dead leaves underground!

These two tentacles are 20 meters long and half a meter thick.

The tentacles are transparent, at first glance, they look like two water columns suspended in the air, but they are more crystal clear than water, shining with a clear luster under the sun.

but--

The surface of the tentacles is not smooth, there are many tiny holes on it.

After protruding from the dead leaves, the two transparent tentacles began to wriggle slowly in the forest, as if looking for something.Two or three seconds later, they all froze and climbed over the small tree in front of Luo Zhen, and then, as if they had taken a stimulant, they began to tremble with excitement.

At the same time, the holes on the tentacles began to spray out a kind of fine fluorescent particles.

As soon as these particles fly out, they immediately disperse to the surroundings.

At the beginning, you could still see light dots like fireflies. Later, these fluorescent particles all merged into the mist, and there were no traces to be seen anymore.

but--

In the mist, it brought a very faint fragrance.

After spraying for a full minute, the two tentacles stopped and quietly shrank into the dead leaves until all the ten miles around were infected with this fragrance, and there was no further movement.

……

"Sister Hongyao, I'm back." Luo Zhen dragged three branches back to the beach.

Seeing Luo Zhen come back, Fu Hongyao breathed a sigh of relief, but when he saw the sweat on his forehead, he felt nervous again: "Why are you sweating so much? Are you in danger?"

"No."

Luo Zhen shook his head, and said in embarrassment: "I was startled when I heard the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, and ran back quickly. I planned to get a few more branches."

"Scared back by the sound of leaves?" Fu Hongyao laughed dumbly, "Small town, I thought you were more courageous than anyone else, but I never thought you would be scared back by the sound of leaves."

"Hehe." Luo Zhen scratched his head for a while.

To be honest, he didn't know what was going on, usually he was very courageous, but why was he scared away by a rustling sound?Now that I think about it, it's really unbelievable.

Is it really just a matter of nervousness?
