Chapter 346 Patience

"Oh~so cool~"

In a steaming pool, Huang Juncai and Li Rui leaned on the shore and collapsed into a ball.

A few meters away, Li Wei was splashing around in the water, swimming around.

The water temperature of more than 40 degrees is a bit hot for ordinary people, but it is just right for awakened people with strong tolerance.

"Come alive~"

Huang Juncai rubbed hot spring water on his face, looked up at the stars in the sky, and squinted his eyes in comfort.

"Brother Rui, do you think it would be more profitable if this place was developed into a tourist area?"

"You are overthinking. Ordinary people can only survive 10 days outside the safe zone. Snakes, insects, rats and ants can kill them."

Li Rui chatted with him leisurely without even opening his eyes.

"We can send supernatural beings to protect us!"

"If we can't protect them, no one will dare to come if we die a few times."

"Sigh... It's such a pity to let such a good place lie abandoned."

Huang Juncai smacked his lips with emotion.

"Don't think about those unreliable people. Entering the hot spring area means that you are not far from Heiyan Valley. Set off early tomorrow and try to find the target before dark. We will [return to the city] immediately after we succeed."

"[Back to the city]? Doesn't that mean you're going back to the Magic City? Did you say you would take me to Chendulang?"

"Otherwise, do you still want to waste a few days hiking back to Shushan Base?"

"Uh...yeah~"

Huang Juncai tilted his head and finally reacted.

"Brother, aren't you going to see the pandas?"

Li Wei swam over and hugged Li Rui pitifully.

"Look, after we return to the city, we will take a plane to Chendu, which will save time and effort."

Li Rui pinched her little face and smiled fondly.

After taking a bath in the hot spring, Li Rui transformed into a humanoid roaster and used [Sacrifice] to dry the soaked clothes of the three of them by taking advantage of the fact that teammates could not cause any real damage to each other.

A large pile of thick slices of meat was placed on a fire not far away.

Chichichi~

The fat splashed on the fire drop by drop, making it squeak.

After taking a bite of the meat, which was tender on the outside, golden and crispy on the inside, the three of them closed their eyes, bubbly with the beauty.

The plump pieces of meat are chewed in the mouth, and the meat juice splashes in the mouth. Swallow slowly and slide into the stomach. The delicious and solid pieces of meat bring people infinite happiness and satisfaction.

"It's so delicious! It's 10,000 times better than the Wagyu beef I've ever eaten!"

"Woooooooo..."

Huang Juncai could still sigh with emotion. Li Wei only focused on stuffing delicious food into his mouth, his cheeks were as bulging as a squirrel, so he could only nod in agreement.

"Stone-skinned cows are E-level extraordinary ingredients. Their combat power is equivalent to that of a bronze-level extraordinary. They live in groups. It will be good if we can hunt two of them."

Li Rui swallowed the beef in big mouthfuls, and his eyes hurt.

It’s not that he feels sorry for the meat, but because stone-skinned cows must use gold to neutralize the magical energy in the meat, which is expensive to eat!

If not neutralized, their meat would really taste like stone, and Li Rui's teeth would feel like his throat was being cut.

It felt like chewing a mouthful of gravel, not tasty at all.

This dinner lasted until late at night. After removing the water, the beef weighed nearly a ton and disappeared into the mouths of the three of them.

Of course, the main force was still Li Rui. Later, Li Wei and Huang Juncai could only hold their chubby bellies and look at him with envious eyes as he feasted.

After eating and drinking, the three of them lay down in their clothes and fell asleep while listening to the gurgling sound of spring water.

In the grass not far away, a pair of strange vertical pupils shot back and forth at the three of them, with confusion and confusion.

Amidst the grinding sound of salsa, the remaining cow bones that the three of them had eaten disappeared silently into the depths of the grass.

…………

Early the next morning, the three people who were fully resurrected packed their luggage and embarked on their journey again.

After advancing along the rugged mountain peaks and overcoming many obstacles, the temperature in the air became higher and higher, and the breeze was filled with a strong smell of sulfur.

"Is this Heiyangou?"

After climbing over the last mountain peak, Huang Juncai looked at the hellish scene and swallowed.

The earth cracks, revealing a canyon burning with fire!

The dark red magma river is flowing slowly, and thick smoke and bright magma are erupting from time to time in the field of vision. The whole world turns into a fiery red tone!

But in such a restricted area of ​​life, there are actually many plants growing!

Most of their leaves are fiery red, with rough and black skin. They can still thrive even if magma submerges their roots.

"Yes, this is Heiyangou! It is said that the Hell of Oil Pot was imagined based on this place."

Li Rui's eyes flashed with light, patrolling the land as excitedly as an eagle.

Zixiao dragon snakes generally have energy levels ranging from bronze to silver. Their main activity area is in Heiyangou. They usually hunt alone and form families only during the mating season.

This kind of strange snake is not big in size, but its body is as strong as fine steel. It is also born with a special ability and can fly at high speeds close to the ground.

When ordinary people see them, they seem to see a flash of purple light, which looks like an unsheathed fairy sword, so they are named Zixiao Dragon Snake.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Li Rui found a nearby blackened mountain peak, and together with Huang Juncai, he took out his binoculars and looked around.

The view from the top of the mountain is wide, and the two of them can monitor an area of ​​nearly a hundred square kilometers. It didn't take long for Huang Juncai to detect a flash of light with his thieves' eyes.

"Brother Rui, over there!"

Pointing to a small area, the two squinted their eyes and observed repeatedly, and finally found a purple glow on the black and red ground.

"I can't see clearly, but that thing is moving. Wait, there's a group of tinder apes in front of it. Is it going to hunt?"

Li Rui put away the telescope, turned into a stream of light without hesitation, and ran out.

They took out the headset and put it on tacitly, and Huang Juncai stayed on the top of the mountain to be his navigator.

The straight-line distance was only a few kilometers, but it took Li Rui a full twenty minutes to arrive nearby.

Even with his current defense power, he did not dare to cross the magma river with his body. He could only find some canyons and jump across.

However, snakes have excellent hunting patience. When Li Rui touched it not far away, it was still waiting for the tinder ape to eat and drink without launching an attack.

"Brother Rui, do you see your ten o'clock direction?"

"I saw it. It's all black and red, with a gold-plated purple stripe on the middle line. It's indeed an adult Zixiao Dragon Snake!"

Li Rui lowered his voice and said excitedly to Huang Juncai.

I really made the right decision to bring him here this time. My eyes are not as good as his. It might take several days to find the target alone.

Li Rui was secretly happy and took out the telescope to observe again.

The Zixiao Dragon Snake is extremely fast. You can wait for it to hunt successfully before hunting it. With an extra thing in its belly, I don’t believe it can still outrun me!

Calculating happily, Li Rui hid himself in the gravel and restrained his aura to prevent being discovered by targets hundreds of meters away.

The situation entered the patience stage. Looking at the Zixiao dragon snake that only moved forward for half an hour, Li Rui experienced the hard work of a photographer in the animal world.
