Ahhhhh, high-altitude survival!

Chapter 54, Dividing the Spoils

Han Weiyi clearly hadn't thought that far ahead. Upon hearing Lin Yue say she wanted to leave, she unhesitatingly took her hand and led her along the path on the right. She was obviously planning to take Lin Yue directly back to her platform.

Since the system didn't provide any prompts, Lin Yue could only follow her. Halfway there, Lin Yue suddenly remembered something and asked curiously, "Weiyi, if you don't have any flying equipment, how did you get to this island? Could it be that, like Zhao Yuxuan, this floating island just happened to be next to your platform?"

Lin Yue thought that, given Han Weiyi's luck, such a thing might actually happen. Could it be that, apart from herself, all the floating islands were right next to the player platform?

"No, sister, you'll find out soon enough!" Han Weiyi smiled mysteriously, a mischievous glint in her eyes, then pulled Lin Yue along and continued walking briskly forward.

After walking for about ten minutes, Lin Yue spotted a simple covered bridge ahead. One end of the bridge connected to the floating island beneath their feet, while the other end extended into a courtyard suspended in mid-air. The courtyard looked somewhat dilapidated, yet it possessed a magnificent grandeur.

"Is this your idea?" Lin Yue was somewhat surprised, and at the same time couldn't help but admire the covered bridge made entirely of wooden floors and walls.

"Haha, yeah, that's the safest way~" Lin Weiyi stuck out her tongue, but her expression was quite smug.

The distance from the floating island to Han's only platform, while not extremely far, was still far beyond what a normal human could reach by jumping. As the two walked back across the corridor, Lin Yue counted and found that there were a total of 12 wooden planks.

Han Weiyi was probably worried about the danger of walking at a height, so she specially built two wooden walls on both sides of the wooden floor. In just a short distance of about ten meters, she used up 168 pieces of wood!

As expected of a wealthy and powerful little European emperor, ordinary people wouldn't dare to spend like this!

After walking across a sky bridge about ten meters long, the two arrived directly at the front courtyard of Han Weiyi's Hanging Temple. There were still many boxes piled up here, which showed that the little girl was not exaggerating when she said that she had a lot of supplies left.

After the two entered the courtyard, Han Weiyi was about to close the gate. However, Lin Yue suddenly felt a strange unease. She thought for a moment, then reached out to stop Han Weiyi: "Wait, Weiyi, we need to go back. We can't leave this covered bridge here!"

"Huh?" Han Weiyi looked at Lin Yue with some confusion, "Does Sister mean we should take it down?"

Lin Yue turned around and looked at the long covered bridge again, then nodded firmly: "Yes, demolish it."

She hesitated for a moment, then added, "Maybe we don't need to dismantle everything, but at least three sections should be removed. If the floating island is still there tomorrow, we can rebuild it in time."

Seeing that Han Weiyi still seemed a little confused, Lin Yue explained, "The system once warned that the floating islands in the air would be very dangerous at night. Although we don't know exactly what the dangers are, since we can return to the platform from the floating islands via the corridor bridge, those dangers are very likely to be present as well."

Seeing Han Weiyi's look of sudden realization, Lin Yue continued, "Although we can't be sure that the danger is definitely a wild animal, dismantling the covered bridge can reduce some potential risks."

"Okay, I understand! Let's begin!" Han Weiyi was obedient and immediately turned around to look for suitable tools.

Lin Yue took the fine-grade iron hammer out of her backpack and handed the pickaxe to Han Weiyi. Ever since the system rewarded her with a complete set of fine-grade tools, Lin Yue had been carrying them with her every time she explored the island, and they were indeed coming in handy again.

Han Weiyi took the pickaxe, and the two returned to the covered bridge. They smashed and retreated, tearing down the three central wooden planks and the wall.

Lin Yue stared at the three-meter-long open space for a moment, then turned to Han Weiyi and asked, "Weiyi, have you taken back all the traps you set up before?"

The trap was sturdy; it shouldn't be a disposable item.

Sure enough, Han Weiyi nodded, then took one out of her backpack to show her: "I brought them all back when I went to get the wolves!"

“Okay!” Lin Yue pointed to a few locations. “Then set up these traps here.”

"Okay!" Han Weiyi didn't ask why and quickly got to work. Before long, she had set up all the traps according to Lin Yue's instructions. But for some reason, Lin Yue still felt uneasy. She weighed her options in her mind for a moment, then placed something on the ground before turning around, returning to the courtyard, and finding a place to sit down.

This was the first time Han Weiyi had brought a friend back to her platform. Feeling that she had plugged the security loopholes in the covered bridge, she became happy again. She released the three wolves and half a sika deer that she had put away in her backpack and excitedly said to Lin Yue, "Sister, your spoils."

Lin Yue also took out two from her backpack, piled them together, and said, "Let's collect some first and see how much we can get."

"Okay!" Han Weiyi nodded, but didn't do anything. Instead, she rested her chin on her hand and watched Lin Yue busy at work with great interest.

[Collection successful. Obtained 18 wolf meat (500g), 1 wolf tooth, 2 wolf pelts, and 1 experience point.]

[Gathering successful. Obtained 20 wolf meat (500g), 3 wolf pelts, and 1 experience point.]

[Collection successful. Obtained 9 pieces of venison (500g), 2 pieces of antlers, 3 pieces of deer hide, and 1 experience point.]

【…】

Lin Yue collected all the carcasses, obtaining a total of 88 portions of wolf meat, 9 portions of venison, 8 wolf teeth, 2 antlers, and 12 portions of leather.

Lin Yue divided the items into two piles, then pushed one pile in front of Han Weiyi: "Weiyi, this is yours. I need the leather, so I took a few extra pieces to supplement the meat for you. We'll divide the rest equally, okay?"

"no!"

To Lin Yue's surprise, Han Weiyi rejected her suggestion outright.
