After a few investigations, the water flowing on the ground had been polluted. Fortunately, some water can be collected from the leaves and meadows, although it is not much, but a little bit is enough.

Ling Chen was a little dehydrated because of the bleeding from the wound on his head. But you can't drink too much at once, just moisten your lips and feel not uncomfortable.

After feeding Ling Chen a little dew, Ling Chen's breathing gradually stabilized again, and he just hoped that nothing would happen to him. After a while, everyone woke up one after another.

The hollow was very cold, not dry. Wang Qingyu also sneezed a few times one after another, and seemed to have a cold. In such a dangerous environment, it is good to be able to find a place of temporary safety, where to take care of comfort.

In the early morning, new life emerges in the forest. The cuckoo's call is late, but it makes the forest seem more and more quiet. Lin Shen doesn't know where to go, but he can enjoy a different kind of wonderful scenery.

Ning Yuanru and Ling discussed it, planning to go to the neighborhood to investigate the situation. When such a big thing happened last night, the first thing to do is to figure out the current situation around you and take precautions.

Originally, Xu Ziqing wanted to go, but as a seal repairer, he had the strength to protect everyone. But Ning Yuanru didn't choose to let him go. Leaving Wang Qingyu alone to take care of Ling Chen is not a solution. Besides, Ling Chen went crazy last night, and he didn't know what kind of state it would be like today, so it was really unwise to walk away rashly.

Leave Xu Ziqing and Wang Qingyu behind, and let them clean up the messy environment around here. Until Ling Chen wakes up, this will be their temporary camp. Besides, Wang Qingyun's whereabouts are still unknown, so it is naturally good to be able to find his traces. I'm just afraid... There are no bones left.

After the rain, it will be sunny and it will be a good day today.

Ning Yuanru and Ling were cautious all the way, looking for all kinds of clues around, striving to find some discoveries. In addition, the problem of drinking water must be solved as soon as possible.

Although it rained heavily yesterday, the water in the two ditches dug in the camp has been contaminated. The reason is that not far from the tree hole there is a white skeleton that has been gnawed cleanly, but the fur and other things are still soaked in water, which looks very disgusting.

After Xu Ziqing told them, he said that the water source here was polluted, otherwise everyone would not have to venture out to find the water source. But he hadn't seen last night's scene, so he didn't know the situation.

Ning Yuanru guessed that other places were not much worse. There must be many places where the water source has been polluted, and even if one can be found, it must be boiled before it can be drunk.

When he came here, Ling Chen had already warned that if it wasn't an emergency, it would be better not to light a fire. But now it seems that there is some exhaustion. Not to mention the problem of starting a fire, even the problem of drinking water has become a problem.

"Yuanru, do you want to tell them about last night?"

Ling was a little apprehensive in his heart, and the terrifying scene he saw last night still lingered in his mind.

Ning Yuanru, who was looking around for traces, paused when he heard this, thought for a moment, and said, "Don't say it yet." ”

It doesn't do any good to say it now, it only makes the other two more afraid. Now it is better to do the most basic things first, survive, and ensure the necessary materials.

They can't make big decisions, and being able to maintain the status quo and control everything is already the greatest success. The situation last time was even more tragic than this time, but everyone still gritted their teeth and survived. I believe that Ling Chen is the most

He will come to his senses in the afternoon, and then inform Ling Chen of the current situation, and it will be up to him to decide.

"Say, did that monster spot us last night?" Ling remembered the scarlet pupils again, as if from hell with a gaze. When she thought about it again, she couldn't help but be a little afraid.

"I guess not. Ning Yuanru dropped a broken branch, "Otherwise, we might all be dead." ”

Ling nodded approvingly, perhaps she felt the same way. It's just that she asked at this time, wanting to get the same answer from Ning Yuanru as herself, so that her heart would be more stable.

"Be careful, let's go ahead and have a look. ”

Nothing has been found at the moment, and there are only dead branches and leaves in the vicinity, and there are no valuable clues. Ning Yuanru planned to continue to search forward and expand the scope. But that also means a lot more danger, but there's no way around it. There are only a few puddles in the vicinity, and there is no guarantee that the water is safe. Moreover, there are a lot of muddy water impurities in it, and it is very laborious to collect, which is completely unsuitable for drinking.

Along the way, another white skeleton was found, no different from the previous one, all the flesh had been gnawed clean, leaving only a skeleton and a hide.

"What the hell are they that gnaw these beasts clean. The more Ling looked at it, the more ferocious he felt, looking around for food and gobbling it up. Thinking of the black and red world last night, Ling frowned, and suddenly felt a little irritable in his heart.

"Monsters. ”

The two avoided the body and continued on their way.

"This is where they last survived. Ning Yuanru said.

Nowadays, the concept of monsters is actually very vague. There is no detailed record of the monster in the book, only the glory of the immortal saint. So now, even if a real monster is standing in front of them, they don't necessarily know each other.

The battle of antiquity has now been rendered and touted by the article from generation to generation, and then taught to children, and it is difficult to restore the real history. But it is only necessary to let the people of today remember that there were such things as monsters before ancient times, and the ancestors fought with them in blood.

What needs to be known more now is the demon clan that fought against monsters with people at the beginning, and they are now the biggest enemy of the human race. It is an extremely dangerous species that competes with the human race for living space and fights each other.

"Maybe they were criticized by the ancestors because they ate everything, so everyone had nothing to eat. Ling Tan said with a smile.

Ning Yuanru also smiled slightly and did not answer.

After hundreds of years of peace, the children living in the greenhouse are no longer afraid of anything. Wars, demons, these are too far away from them. If you haven't experienced it, you haven't felt it. Let them be indifferent, in fact, it is only the result of the heroic sacrifice of their predecessors.

There is a ledge in front of you where you can rest for a while. The sun had risen high, and after the two of them had been walking for so long, it was time to find a place to rest for a while.

It's not too tiring, but after all this time, my lips are already very thirsty.

Ling sat on the ground completely ignoring the image, leaning his back against the shady stone wall, hoping to get some coolness.

Seeing Ling like this, Ning Yuanru could only smile lightly, found a fairly clean place and knelt down.

Ling, who was closing his eyes and enjoying the coolness, seemed to hear it

What, the brow furrowed slightly.

"Yuanru, you listen. ”

After greeting Ning Yuanru, Ling turned around and put his ear on the rock wall and began to listen carefully.

"What's wrong?" Although Ning Yuanru asked, he also got up, following Ling's example, and the two of them listened carefully on the stone wall.

"Yes....?" For a while, Ning Yuanru wasn't quite sure what the sound was.

"It's the sound of the water!" Ling exclaimed happily. Although the cries of many birds and beasts in the forest were constantly disturbing, Ling felt that she had heard correctly.

"Yuanru, lend me your dagger. ”

Ning Yuanru took the dagger out of the Qiankun bag and handed it to Ling with his backhand.

Ling crouched down and continued to listen, Ning Yuanru stood aside cautiously, not wanting to disturb her.

Time passed quietly, but Ling never reacted. But Ning Yuanru is not in a hurry, she is notoriously chronic. There's nothing wrong with waiting, and you can observe the situation around you a little more.

Then, Ling left the stone wall and began to search around the ledge, closing his eyes from time to time and starting to remember. Eventually, Ling found a very dark and damp cave and began to dig a hole with a dagger.

"Is there groundwater here?"

Ning Yuanru followed cautiously and stood behind Ling. Groundwater is the source they need the most, unpolluted, clean and even drinkable.

"It should be. Just now I thought I heard the sound of running water, but I couldn't determine the location. It's too noisy in the forest, and the sound of the water is too small to hear. ”

Ling said, the movements of his hands did not stop. Because of the rockery, it is all sandy and easy to excavate. After a while, a hole was dug in the place.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Ling frowning, Ning Yuanru asked with concern.

"Not here. Ling was a little frustrated and put down the dagger in his hand.

Although the cave in front of me was still wet, the further down it was still sandy, and there was no more humidity. So it's very likely not here. If the groundwater is indeed underneath, but at what depth a dagger can gouge, it's almost the limit.

"Then let's look at it in another location. Ning Yuanru did not have a disappointed expression, but encouraged Ling to continue looking.

Since you can hear the sound of water flowing here, you must be in this vicinity. One defeat doesn't mean anything, stick with it and you'll succeed.

Ling continued to search around, specifically looking for a place where the land was wet. Only the more opportunities are found in these places, the greater the chance.

Eventually, Ling Jiang came to the bottom of the ledge, where there was a layer of silt and water that had accumulated. Since you can't find it, you can only try your luck.

Digging away the upper layer of silt, Ling directly began to dig down. But after a while, a stream of water came out of the hole, splashing Ling with muddy water.

The moment the spring water gushed out, although Ling screamed in a little panic, he was very happy. Ning Yuanru was also very happy, and showed a smile that she hadn't seen for a long time. The smile is beautiful, sunny and pure.

When they find a source of water, they don't have to worry about drinking water. Because of Ning Yuanru's encouragement and trust, Ling was able to find this spring. Although the water flow is not large, it is enough for everyone to drink.
