The moment the warm and soft girl fell into his arms, Mo Lin secretly sniffed her hair. The familiar fragrance made him feel at ease. His hands quietly hugged her soft waist.

Being held tightly in his arms, E Ling felt a little embarrassed and unnatural, but when she thought that if she continued to argue with him, this stinky snake would act pitifully and try to gain sympathy from her.

Forget it, just allow him to hug me for a while.

At an angle that E Ling couldn't see, Mo Lin raised a cunning smile on his face.

He would not miss any opportunity to be intimate with E Ling.

When she reached the foot of the mountain, E Ling discovered that there were still some sparse plants growing nearby, but the vegetation became less and less as she went higher, and there was almost no grass at all on the mountainside. No wonder it looked so bare and desolate from a distance.

E Ling quickly jumped out of Mo Lin's arms because she had discovered several new herbs, including Motherwort for promoting blood circulation and regulating menstruation, Cassia seed for improving eyesight and clearing away heat, Astragalus for replenishing Qi and raising yang, and even Rehmannia for clearing heat and cooling blood. If someone has a cough or gets angry on a daily basis, she can use it with pork bones to make a health-preserving soup!

Mo Lin saw E Ling starting to dig those strange grasses on the ground again. Although he was used to it, he still felt a little lonely when he saw her so eager to leave his arms.

He glanced at the sky. The sun was setting in the west and it would be dark soon. It looked like he would have to spend the night here.

"E Ling, I'm going to go hunt for dinner first. Can you wait here for me?"

Mo Lin's question came from behind. E Ling said "hmm" and added: "By the way, Mo Lin, if you come across a river on the way, please get some water from a stone pot. I'm a little thirsty."

Mo Lin nodded, then dragged his long tail to go hunting.

E Ling put all the extracted herbs into the space for storage. When she looked up, a hint of red appeared in front of her eyes.

E Ling's eyes widened instantly, "Woc!"

What is this? Such a huge wolfberry tree?!

The wolfberry tree in front of me looks like it has been injected with growth hormones. It is so strong that even one person cannot hug it with both hands. Although it is so high that it reaches the sky, all its leaves have fallen off. Only on the slanting branch is there a huge bunch of wolfberries hanging, which looks like a conspicuous red lantern.

The system identified it on the side: "Red wolfberry, a top-notch product that nourishes the liver and kidneys, improves intelligence and eyesight! It also has the effects of beautifying the skin, producing blood and resisting aging. With it, the system no longer has to worry about the host's sexual well-being!"

E Ling: “…”

But thinking that she only needed one thing to complete the herb collection task, she rushed forward without saying a word and began to extract the energy of the wolfberry.

The system soon sent a joyful announcement:

"Congratulations to the host for completing the task of collecting 20 kinds of herbs and obtaining 200 points!"

"The host's accumulated points are 210, and 290 points are needed to upgrade to the next level. Please keep up the good work!"

At the same time, the huge wolfberry on her head suddenly fell into her arms, like a ripe melon recognizing its owner.

If it weren't for the fact that the wolfberry didn't look like a spirit, she would have thought that dozens of wolfberry babies would jump out and call her "elderly".

At this time, Mo Lin came back from hunting. In his hand, he was holding a waist-wide stone pot, which was half filled with water. Behind him was a small wild boar that had been processed. He knew that E Ling didn't eat much, and he didn't need to eat too much, so he didn't hunt too big prey.

Looking at the wild boar and then at the wolfberries in his hand, he thought it was time to drink some health-preserving soup.

The two men set up a stone pot on the open ground and began to boil water.

Under E Ling's guidance, Mo Lin removed the ribs of the wild boar, chopped them into pieces, and then put them into the pot to cook. Seeing that she cherished those bones with little meat so much, Mo Lin frowned in confusion.

"E Ling, these bones are only eaten by wild beasts. Ordinary beastmen can't even eat them. Are you...something new in eating them?"

E Ling picked the wolfberries in her hand and threw them into the pot together with the pork ribs. She smiled, "You guessed it right! I'll make a wolfberry and pork ribs soup, which is very healthy. You'll have a treat tonight~"

"E Ling, I don't understand what you are saying..."

Ever since she rejected his Jie Jing that day, she often uttered some nouns that he had never heard of, making him feel that E Ling was so close to him, yet so far away.

"It's okay. Just remember that this is delicious. I won't lie to you."

Mo Lin nodded obediently, picked up the skewers of meat on the side and started grilling.

After a while, a fragrant aroma began to bubble out of the stone pot. E Ling tasted it first and found that the soup was slightly salty. She had not yet seasoned it.

"Mo Lin, where did you get the water?" E Ling thought of something and turned her head to ask.

"There is a small river at the foot of this mountain. The water there is inherently salty. I have drunk from it several times. It's fine."

"It's the Saltwater River!" E Ling's eyes lit up, "Mo Lin, take me to see that river tomorrow."

Where there is a saltwater river, there is a saltwater lake. If she is lucky, she might even discover a salt mine!

She asked why the mountain was bare and only grew some cold-resistant and drought-resistant plants. It turned out that this was a saline-alkali land.

"Okay, let's eat first, then have a good rest. I'll take you there tomorrow morning."

Mo Lin handed the roasted meat to E Ling.

As the saying goes, the first time is raw the second time is cooked. The meat that Mo Lin roasted this time was obviously much better than the first time. The wild boar meat was roasted by him so that it was fragrant and not greasy. You could taste the gravy when you took a bite. It was really amazing.

It is so delicious that you can drink sweet wolfberry soup with the barbecue.

E Ling drank two bowls of pork rib soup in a row, and Mo Lin followed her example and ate the outer layer of meat on the ribs. Then he unexpectedly discovered that the bones of wild animals could be so delicious!

As expected, he could eat delicious food by following Eling, so he had to keep a closer eye on Eling. Such an excellent female who was both capable of being a lady in the parlor and a good cook in the kitchen must not be coveted by other males!

After the two of them had eaten and drunk their fill and dealt with the animal bones, E Ling took out a large animal skin and lay on the ground, counting the stars and falling asleep.

Mo Lin used his tail to surround E Ling's body in a circle and guarded her carefully.

E Ling knew that he had to keep watch again, and she felt a little reluctant. She wanted to ask him if he wanted to sleep together, but when the words came to her lips, she remembered that these were things that the heroine should be concerned about, so why should she worry about it.

So he closed his eyes with peace of mind.

Just as she dozed off, there was a sudden earthquake underground, which scared E Ling awake. Before she could jump up and scream, Mo Lin's snake tail wrapped around her body and held her in his arms, retreating at a high speed.

"Mo Lin, what happened? Was there an earthquake?"

E Ling felt as if the world was spinning around her. Everything she saw was shaking and distorted, and the bare mountain beneath their feet was even worse.

Several hideous cracks appeared in the center of the hill, as if something was about to burst out under the pressure of internal force.

Mo Lin held her hand tightly and said, "No, it's the sleeping beast... that has woken up."

Well, E Ling’s heart finally settled down.

How big a beast must it be to be so aggressive?

A huge wild beast with white fur suddenly crashed into a big hole in the broken mountain, walked out with a roar, and walked to the wolfberry tree. When it found that the wolfberries on the tree had disappeared without a trace, it suddenly became angry, and its glass-like eyes suddenly emitted red light.

"Roar--"

The white-haired giant beast kicked the ground restlessly, raising a cloud of dust, and then, as if it had suddenly gone mad, it crashed into an ancient tree that was more than ten meters thick. The tree was broken in half and rolled towards Mo Lin.

Mo Lin dodged the menacing crossbar, but unknowingly moved to a position where the giant beast could see him directly.

The giant beast suddenly turned around and ran towards Mo Lin. When it ran, E Ling felt as if the whole world was shaking. In front of this giant beast, they were no different from two ants that could be trampled to death at any time.

And then, a voice suddenly appeared, making E Ling even more desperate:

"Trigger a new mission! Host, please subdue this white-haired beast. Completing the mission will reward you with 300 points!"

E Ling was so angry that she yelled, "019! Damn you!!"
