Chapter 251 Thank you for the gift of nature
"What the hell is this..."
Song An Ning turned around and looked around, and found that there was no one behind him except the stunned Wei Shisan and No. 1.
In an instant, all the horror stories she had heard in her past and present lives flooded her mind, such as red hands, green hands, big white hands, red embroidered shoes, etc.
The sudden appearance of a terrifying demon or a murderer is nothing to be afraid of. What is fatal is the sudden appearance of a vague person, just like now.
The forest fell into an eerie silence, and the previous chirping of insects disappeared completely. Song Anning now had the urge to rush out of the forest and run home.
But the advanced protective shield has been open for three days, and she cannot give up all her efforts. The primeval forest ahead is her only hope for a quick upgrade.
"Xiangxiang, please say something. Are there any wild animals or something around here?"
"Sizzling, sizzling..."
The only response she got was the crackling sound of the system losing signal. Was Xiangxiang disconnected? Or was she offline?
Don't do this! How far have we come?
Now she had a reasonable suspicion that the protective shield had disappeared along with Xiangxiang, and now she had obviously become a delicious snack for the wild beasts, snakes and insects in the jungle.
She looked around vigilantly, held her breath, and slowly moved towards the periphery.
At this time, Xiangxiang's voice finally appeared.
"Ahem, Master, the magnetic field in this place is disordered and very weird.
The secondary system is not powerful enough and is a bit useless in this environment.
Now it's all right. Xiangxiang spent five hundred taels of silver from her master and temporarily upgraded to level three, but it will only last for two days."
"This money is well spent. You don't know how scared I was just now."
The miasma around was getting thicker and thicker. Song An Ning had just finished replying to Xiangxiang when the voice behind him rang out again.
"Master, it's okay. It was a bear that encountered miasma and was about to run away.
Humans are rarely seen in this forest. Actually, it was frightened by you and is hiding behind a tree, not daring to move."
As soon as Xiangxiang finished speaking, Song Anning heard a bang. The bear behind the tree fainted because it inhaled too much miasma.
"This……"
Song An Ning followed the sound and came near the bear. He finally saw the bear under the tree. It had brown hair and was fat and strong.
"While it's still alive, the owner should take it in quickly. It's worth a lot of money."
There was no reason not to accept the bear that was delivered to the door. Song An Ning raised his leg and kicked the bear, and Xiangxiang was retrieved into the system as quickly as possible.
"Ding, I recovered a wild bear, and received four hundred taels."
"Master, this forest will be filled with miasma from now until tonight. Do you still want to move forward? Or should we wait until tomorrow at noon? It will be better then."
Song Anning thought about it. The magnetic field in this place was disordered, and the compass would be ineffective. It was also at this time, so she couldn't guarantee that the system would be foolproof if she went further in.
Forget it, she is timid and afraid of death, a big coward, let's wait until tomorrow noon.
"Plop, plop..."
The birds falling from the tree scared Song An Ning again. Xiangxiang said that these were birds that did not have time to fly away when the miasma rose. This was a good thing for Song An Ning. It was simply a gift from nature!
"Ting, I recovered a red-bellied tragopan, and received six taels of silver."
"Tsk, two golden pheasants, eight taels of silver."
"drop……"
Song Anning suddenly felt a little reluctant to leave. At first, she had no intention of catching birds because they had wings and were difficult to catch.
But it’s different here. You can use the miasma bug to catch a lot of species, and you don’t have to do anything yourself. It’s almost like picking up money while walking.
She looked into the depths of the woods. The sun had not yet set, but the forest had already darkened. The thick miasma made the visibility around her increasingly low. Thinking that there might be a swamp or wetland here, Song Anning decisively turned around and left.
People die for money, birds die for food. It's better to wait until tomorrow around noon to enter such a dangerous environment. Let's go! Let's hide outside first.
He picked up a few small animals and asked Xiangxiang to take them back. Then Song Anning left the forest as quickly as possible.
The sunlight outside was warm and dazzling, completely different from the gloomy forest. She was busy for more than an hour and returned to the starting point, where the anaconda first appeared.
“Master, we can’t enter the center of the forest, but we can move around the periphery.
Look at that mountain over there, there's a large pine forest. It's a bit high, nearly 2,000 meters. If you're not too tired, you can climb it.
Otherwise, we can go back to the bamboo forest and feed bamboo rats."
"That's not necessary. Let Shushu live well."
I looked up at the towering mountains. The pine forest grew on the shady side of the mountains, extending from halfway up the mountain to the top.
"Xiangxiang, please buy me a hiking pole. Let's go to the pine forest."
"Okay, start climbing mode!"
With a goal in mind, Song Anning took immediate action. In her previous life, she knew that the temperature would drop by one degree for every few hundred meters increase in altitude.
In addition, it was already cold in the mountains and the wind was strong at night. Before leaving, she bought a set of thermal underwear from the mall and changed into them in the bamboo forest. She also gave a set to Wei Shisan and No. 1, and added a pair of leather gloves.
Wei Shisan was still a human being, after all, so she didn't want him to get frozen to death. As for Number One, she couldn't bear to see his skin broken, as it would cost a fortune to repair.
When we first climbed the mountain, we were still a little hot wearing warm clothes, but after climbing for a while, the sun was about to set and the temperature dropped little by little.
The three of them were not idle along the way. They picked up any plants they had never seen before. There were no rare species, but many species icons in the system lit up.
When they reached more than 600 meters, the mountain road became difficult to walk on. Song Anning and the other two wore headlamps and continued to climb up.
This journey can be described as a fragrant road of popular science.
"Oh, this is a mixed coniferous and broadleaved forest. This type of forest usually grows in cold temperate zones and is generally composed of broadleaved trees such as oak, maple, and linden mixed with spruce and pine.
It is rare to see it here. It may be because this mountain is high and on the shady side that it can grow.
"Forget it, I won't say anymore. The geographical environment here can't be compared with the place where the master lived in his previous life, nor can it be compared with the environment in Xiangxiang's world. We will just take what we have."
"Well, don't worry about it. There's a pine forest ahead."
When they reached halfway up the mountain, Song An Ning rested with the help of his trekking pole and drank some water. There was no messy miasma on this mountain, and the species he had just collected seemed to be somewhat different from what Xiangxiang had told him.
Sure enough, it was not possible to transfer all the knowledge from the previous life here. Although there was a protective shield, the shadow cast by the primeval forest on her had not completely dissipated, so she was still cautious.
Fortunately, the journey was smooth. After climbing several hundred meters in one breath, Song An Ning finally stopped in a sheltered mountain valley.
"Xiangxiang, what do you think of the place I chose? If it's okay, we can set up camp here tonight."
"No problem, Master. This pine forest is very quiet, and the location you chose is also very good.
But, but, there's something good thirty meters ahead, should we go take a look?"
"Good stuff, we have to go."
