The last plant pet took me to be the landlord

166 Travel

There is light snow and wind today, so it is suitable for traveling.

There were tiny snowflakes floating in the sky, and the mountain wind was blocked by the mask, windproof hat and windproof goggles. Passing through the thorn wall, Lu Beier wanted to walk in front of Jiang Bai.

In addition to her familiarity with the route, she was also able to move among the many mutated plants in the mountains as if she was strolling in her own vegetable garden.

As long as the surrounding trees and vegetation show signs of mutation, they will either retreat away or actively approach her.

Sometimes, when she encountered thorns blocking her way and she couldn't cross them, before she had time to use her wood element to absorb the thorns, the plants that had a little consciousness would slowly begin to move their branches out of the way.

This is really...

Jiang Bai compared this scene with the time when he first entered the forest. It was really - hard to describe in words.

Following behind Lu Bei'er, he had no idea how many times he had secretly gathered the lightning power in his hands.

But every time, those restless plants chose to retreat in a friendly manner in front of her.

It's worthy of her awakened wood-related ability, it's really unique.

Even with such low temperature and a ten-centimeter-thick layer of snow, the plants were unable to stop themselves from making way for Lu Beier.

The wind did not blow away the snow on the branches, but they fell down by themselves.

"Look! How sensible they are! Don't worry, as long as I take you into the mountains, other than the particularly aggressive plants, you should stay away. Other plants will never attack you!"

"Yeah! Thanks to you!"

Jiang Bai looked at Lu Bei'er who was walking in front of him. She walked briskly and occasionally scratched the snow on the branches. She seemed to be in a very good mood.

Listening to her introducing the plants around me, a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of my mouth.

"Let me tell you about this chestnut forest. I picked thousands of kilograms of chestnuts before! I'm going to make chestnut roast chicken, chestnut cake, and sugar-fried chestnuts!"

"Hmm! It should taste good! I have freshly slaughtered chickens, ducks and geese!" Jiang Bai watched her stretch out her arm, pointing to the bleak chestnut forest, and smiled as he spoke from behind.

"Can chestnuts be used to roast duck and goose?" Lu Beier turned around, her eyes a little puzzled behind her windproof glasses, "Chestnut roast duck? Chestnut roast goose?" Then she nodded, "Then the taste should be pretty good!"

Jiang Bai's eyes followed her figure as she continued to walk forward, "Hmm! It should be good! We can try it when we get back!"

After passing through the chestnut forest, we soon arrived at the territories of the tea trees and the Chinese tallow trees. The tea trees were naturally left with only wilted leaves, but the small Chinese tallow tree was very bright red.

It seems that it is very adaptable to the cold weather.

"Jiang Bai! Look, there used to be a tall Tung oil tree here, but it was a bit aggressive and wouldn't let me pick the oil tea fruit! I got so angry that I killed it directly! But I didn't kill it all!" He pointed to the Tung oil tree next to him that was more than one meter tall.

"I even planted another one for it! This way, its offspring can continue to reproduce!"

She said it lightly, and no one knew what the situation was at the time.

Jiang Bai's eyes followed her all the time, listening to her excitedly recounting some things that had happened behind her.

Then they came to the walnut forest.

The walnut leaves have almost all fallen off by now, leaving the tree bare and nothing to look at.

"Hey, it's only been half a month. When I passed by last time, it was still green! The hair loss is too fast!" As he said this, he seemed to touch his long hair that he had braided into a big pigtail.

Jiang Bai couldn't help but raise his eyebrows again behind him.

We had lunch in this bare walnut forest.

Jiang Bai also took out a thick tent, a small outdoor iron stove, and a folding stool from the space. The stove was still bubbling with steam from the pork rib soup.

Having space saves a lot of time and effort. A few minutes later, the two were sitting in the tent drinking hot bone soup noodles with poached eggs on top.

After eating a big bowl of it, I feel like I'm sweating.

"I'll get you a small sofa to rest on!"

Jiang Bai stood up and was about to make room in their small tent, but Lu Beier quickly stopped him.

"Oh, no, sit down and rest for a while before we go! If it snows heavily in the afternoon, it will be difficult to walk."

Jiang Bai nodded and thought it was a good idea. While she sat down to rest, he started to clean up.

About half an hour later, they began to cross the mountains again.

In the afternoon, Jiang Bai also prepared three thermos bottles for Lu Beier.

Why three? Because they contain hot water, hot milk tea and hot red dates and pear soup.

When Lu Bei'er took the three thermos cups and put them into the space, she felt a little numb.

"You've prepared quite a lot! When we get to the base, we can't be so ostentatious. Do you have any easy-to-carry buns, rice balls, or pancakes?"

If she were to eat bone noodle soup from the large white porcelain bowl she had for lunch in front of those people at the base, she would be like a madman.

Jiang Bai: "All of them! They are all your favorites!"

It was before the end of the world, and he went to the breakfast shop she often went to, and packed the pancakes from the pancake stall into the space. In addition to these convenient foods, there are also various kinds of porridge, noodle soup, dumplings, wontons, tofu brain, etc.

He prepared everything he could think of for her.

He placed all these foods in an area so he could take them out whenever he needed them.

"Is that so! Then let's go quickly! Next time, just eat the food that is easy to hold in your hands!" Lu Bei'er walked in front with big strides, her cheeks feeling a little hot behind the mask.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, they arrived at the place where they first met Fenglong.

The huge cone-shaped mutant cedar still stood there.

Lu Bei'er excitedly told Jiang Bai about the scene of her encounter with the wind dragon, and even pulled Jiang Bai into the interior of the cedar.

Jiang Bai's brows were almost furrowed as he listened to her bragging about how she fought a giant python and how the python was finally strangled by a wind dragon.

"You must have been seriously injured that time!" Jiang Bai suddenly said this.

Lu Beier was obviously stunned, then waved her hands and said nonchalantly: "It's okay! I have a special wood-related ability! Self-healing is a matter of seconds! I'll be alive and kicking again in no time!"

Oh, I’d better not tell Jiang Bai about the miserable scene when I was slammed into the green cedar wall by the snake’s tail and couldn’t get out even if I tried!

Jiang Bai could roughly guess what she was trying to do by avoiding the main point.

She was alone, and encountered a high-level mutant giant python here. The difference in level between the two was too great, and she had no ability to resist! If it wasn't for her good luck, she would have encountered a high-level mutant plant close to her, and the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Lu Beier hurriedly ended the topic and pulled Jiang Bai to lower his head and drill into the interior of the mutant cedar.

This place is still a bird's paradise, but there seem to be more birds than before, and various bird nests are almost crowded together.

Jiang Bai, who is over 1.8 meters tall, couldn't stand up straight inside because the bird's nests were too dense.

It was still pitch black inside, and if Lu Bei'er hadn't taken out a flashlight, it would have been impossible to see what was going on inside.

The bird fluttered its wings in the light of the flashlight, and the two of them just took a casual look and then came out.

"Jiang Bai, should we continue on our journey or rest here for a night?"

She had spent the night here twice before, and Fenglong had even woven a sturdy bird's nest for her last time.

"This place should not be far from the base!" Jiang Bai took out a telescope and looked into the distance. It was all white, and the trees were almost half covered. The base could not be found with the naked eye.

Lubel raised his hand and pointed in a direction. "There, you will reach the destination after crossing two big hills and climbing a ridge. It took me about three or four hours last time!"

Jiang Bai thought for a moment, "It's not safe to spend the night in the wild. We don't know if there will be a sudden snowstorm. Let's speed up and go to the base to rest!"

Lu Bei'er also nodded in agreement. It was still too cold in the wild and she didn't want to spend the night there.

It was nearly four o'clock, and it was basically dark in the mountains at five o'clock. So, in about an hour, they might have to travel in the dark.

"On the way back, I didn't waste time. I walked too slowly in the morning, which delayed my journey in the afternoon!" Lu Bei'er was a little annoyed.

If she had not wasted the morning looking at the snow and the forest, and had spent the entire day on the journey, she would have definitely reached the base before dark.

"It's okay! You can walk sideways in the mountains anyway! No one can delay your time!"

Jiang Bai's comfort earned a roll of the eyes from Lu Bei'er.

Fortunately, as he expected, Lu Bei'er did not feel any remorse at all, and just walked away quickly in anger.

After crossing a hill, they entered the area where Zhang Yue, Luo Dahu and others encountered the mutant gray wolf.

Lu Bei'er quickened her pace and told Jiang Bai again and again about what happened when she encountered the collection team that day.

By the way, she also told Jiang Bai all the messy things about the leaders, young soldiers, new friends, and villagers with different thoughts that she met in the base.

Jiang Bai listened very carefully, and asked a few questions in response from time to time, which made Lu Bei'er talk almost non-stop until dark.

When it was completely dark, they had just climbed over the second hill and were about to descend this hill.

To ensure safety, Jiang Bai walked in front this time.

Both of them wore high-powered lights on their heads.

Lu Bei'er began to use her earth-based abilities to create flat steps on the steep slope down the mountain, and the two of them felt much more relaxed as they went down the mountain.

During this period, we didn't encounter any accidents and successfully arrived at the foot of the mountain. Then we continued to climb up towards the ridge of the base.

The closer you are to the base, the easier the road is to walk on. This is probably because the collection teams at the base often go out on missions and clean up the area many times, so they often walk on the road.

Finally, around seven o'clock in the evening, Jiang Bai took Lu Bei'er's hand and came to the concrete road in front of the base square.
