Ahhhhh, high-altitude survival!

Chapter 60, Gathering Herbs, Returning to the Platform

"Huh?" Han Weiyi looked over curiously, her eyes filled with excitement. "What is it, sister?"

After saying that, she seemed to remember something and quickly took several steps back: "Sister, I don't want the Wolf King! Don't try to give me half again!"

Lin Yue chuckled: "Even if I wanted to, I couldn't share Bai Shuang with you. Pets don't seem to have an unbinding button. What I'm going to give you is something else. With your luck, you might get something pretty good."

"Oh?" Han Weiyi became happy and nodded vigorously. "Then I won't be polite, thank you, sister!"

After the two finished talking, Lin Yue borrowed some wound medicine from Han Weiyi and applied it to the areas on Bai Shuang's body where she was bleeding the most. After learning the basic medicine-making technique, Lin Yue could make wound medicine herself, but she hadn't been able to find all the materials, so she didn't have any on her.

She was thinking that if the floating island was still there tomorrow, she would first go and find some herbs to make more medicine for later use.

Seeing that Bai Shuang's wounds had gradually stopped bleeding, the two yawned at the same time, quickly washed up, and then lay down on Han Weiyi's small bed, falling asleep almost instantly.

When Lin Yue woke up in the morning, she found Han Weiyi clinging to her like an octopus, using both hands and feet. Although the temperature had dropped a bit, it was still around 30 degrees Celsius. After being held by Han Weiyi's furnace-like body all night, Lin Yue was covered in a thin layer of sweat.

She gently removed Han Weiyi's arm from her waist and then placed her thighs back on the bed. Having successfully freed herself, she tiptoed out of bed and headed straight for the main hall. She was concerned about Bai Shuang's condition and wanted to check on her recovery first.

As expected of a third-tier wolf king, Bai Shuang seemed to be in much better shape than before. Its belly rose and fell rhythmically with its breathing, and its previously rapid breathing now sounded much more relaxed.

Lin Yue looked at its various data. The vitality value had recovered to 69, but the stamina value was dropping more and more sharply.

Seemingly sensing the presence of someone beside it, the White Wolf King slowly opened its icy blue eyes. The moment its gaze met Lin Yue's, a flicker of alertness flashed in its eyes, but it was quickly replaced by reassurance.

Seeing this, Lin Yue reached out and gently stroked its fluffy and thick fur, then took out a few pieces of fresh wild boar meat from her backpack and placed them near its mouth.

Bai Shuang brought her nose close to the wild boar meat and sniffed it carefully. She couldn't resist sticking out her tongue and licking all the pieces of wild boar meat inside. She wolfed it down and chewed it a few times, soon finishing off the few pieces of wild boar meat.

Lin Yue checked its stats and found that its stamina had successfully recovered to seventy, which put her at ease. She asked, "Bai Shuang, do you know where we can find herbs on that floating island you came from? I'm planning to go and pick some herbs to make medicine."

Bai Shuang glanced at Lin Yue and shifted its body. Its limbs trembled slightly, yet it seemed stubbornly trying to stand up. It slowly bent its front legs and then straightened them, attempting to prop itself up. However, its wounds seemed too severe, and its body swayed uncontrollably.

It let out a low groan, as if to encourage itself or to fight against the pain in its body. After a difficult struggle, it successfully supported part of its body with its front legs, and its hind legs slowly followed, lifting its body off the ground little by little. Although its standing posture was not very stable, it straightened its spine and said, "Sister, I will go with you."

"Are you sure you can manage?" Lin Yue asked, her voice tinged with worry and uncertainty as she looked at its obvious strain. "Why don't you wait for me here?"

"No!" Bai Shuang shook her head firmly. "This isn't your platform, is it?"

“That’s right, I came here through the summons.” Lin Yue nodded, confirming its guess.

“Then I must stay by your side.” Bai Shuang paused, took a breath, and continued, “The summons has a time limit. If I am too far away from you when you leave, it will be difficult to meet up with you again later.”

If that's the case, then we really should bring it along.

Lin Yue poured Bai Shuang a bowl of water, and the two of them talked for a while. When Han Weiyi also came out rubbing her sleepy eyes, they prepared to set off.

Knowing that the summoning time was limited, the two didn't prepare any complicated dishes. Lin Yue simply took out the steamed dumplings from her insulated lunchbox and shared them with Han Weiyi. After a few bites, they quickly packed up their things, laid the wooden plank bridge again, and headed towards the floating island in the sky.

With a human and a wolf by her side this time, Lin Yue could no longer use the Wings of Sky, so she could only follow the direction indicated by Bai Shuang and slowly move forward step by step.

Fortunately, as the local tyrant of this floating island, Bai Shuang knew the terrain and environment like the back of her hand. In just half a day, Lin Yue had gathered all the necessary ingredients for making the wound medicine: angelica, chuanxiong, and sanqi. In addition, she also found a considerable amount of bupleurum and honeysuckle, enough to prepare several doses of fever-reducing medicine—a very good haul indeed.

Besides medicinal herbs, Lin Yue and Han Weiyi chopped down a lot of trees, replenishing Han Weiyi's nearly depleted wood reserves. After Lin Yue received a system notification that she would be forcibly teleported back to her platform in ten minutes, Bai Shuang instructed Han Weiyi that although the stay time on the floating island was uncertain, it would not exceed three days at most, and suggested that she take advantage of the island's existence to explore it thoroughly.

Besides this suggestion, Bai Shuang also gave Han Yi a bundle of her own shed fur, telling her that as long as she carried this fur with her, wild animals would not easily provoke her anymore. Han Yi happily put it away, placed it in a small cloth bag, and hung it around her neck.

The familiar feeling returned, and Lin Yue embraced Bai Shuang's body. In the blink of an eye, her familiar platform reappeared before her eyes.
