Chapter 2: Treants

It's been a week since entering the forest.

Since then, he has discovered a very ordinary spring of safety elsewhere and used it as a base for his new life.

That's right! I'm not a slave anymore!

Although there is still a brand on his arm, Alan has been silently reciting this sentence in his heart, and now he is free, and he is free to do anything!

Having said that, Alan calmed down, he had to find food now, there was no internet and no games, and although he was glad that he didn't have to go to school, he still wanted to return to the original world as soon as possible.

"Meow~!"

"Oh, little black, let's have breakfast."

Today's food is bread, mushrooms, and cat fruit.

When the bread mushrooms were almost golden brown, he tasted them and found that they tasted similar to bread, but they seemed to have some good drawbacks.

Butter!

Marmalade!

Then he shook his head, there were no wild berries here, no jam over there, no iron pot, go back to the baron's house or buy them on the street, but it wouldn't work.

Alan sighed softly, once discovered, he would continue to return to the life of a slave, how difficult it was.

So after eating, he decided to find something to replace the iron pot, but first to make some jam.

Because it was in the forest, there were many kinds of grass and trees, and he used his bronze sword to cut down something that could be used from a single piece of the ground.

The first is the large leaves.

Then he put this on a stone, put the collected wild berries on it, mashed them with washed stones, and then wrapped the wild berries in leaves, tied them with vines, and hung them on top of the campfire.

"Uh......."

Alan thought that it would not burn so easily, but he did not expect that soon the leaves would be ignited, and the smell of wild berries would come to his face, and he failed.

He didn't lose heart, this is the first time, if he succeeds the first time, then he won't be able to experience the joy of work, failure is the mother of success, so he comforted himself and continued to start experimenting.

After the lesson he had just learned, he was going to try to find more moisture leaves, otherwise, if there was too little water, they would be quickly burned and fail.

Finally, he found a thick leaf, about the same size, and he put the wild berry on it and crushed it.

"Rub!"

The leaves also festered, rotted into a lot of movement, failed, and it seemed necessary to look for strong, non-flammable leaves.

"Alas, the conditions are too harsh....."

"Meow~"

Alan was going to look for something other than the leaves this time, a big orange tree fruit, and remove the persimmon-like thing growing in it, he wanted to eat it, but he was afraid of poisoning, and then the bowl-sized nut cup was ready, and it looked dry and strong.

Then wash them with spring water, put the grated wild berries inside, and set them on the campfire.

"Rub, damn it!"

"Meow~~"

The smell inside the cup was directly mixed with the taste of jam through the baking, and even Xiao Hei couldn't help but take a few steps back, Alan smiled bitterly and took the cup down, poured it out, and failed again.

Next, he found another pink flower tree, which smelled very fragrant and also had a large fruit on it, and he made up his mind to cut off the fruit directly with a copper sword.

"Smack~

"Buzz~Buzz~Buzz~Buzz~"

"Wow! It's bees! Run, Black! ”

"Meow~!"

One person and one cat ran away directly, Alan looked at Xiao Hei breathlessly, thinking about what to do, wanting to give up, but thinking that if such a trivial matter was right, it would be impossible to live a rich life in the future.

"Come on! We keep looking! ”

"Meow~!"

With Xiao Hei here, Allen's heart is very warm, if he is alone, it may be difficult to persevere, loneliness, not everyone can understand.

Next, Alan found a melon-like plant, scraped the fruit out of it with a sharp stone, made a cup, and put the scraped paste on his arm to test it before putting in the berries.

"Isn't it!"

Alan looked at his skin reddening and scratched it, itching and itching.

"Xiao Hei, you can't eat this, you know?"

"Meow~!"

Looking at Xiao Hei, who nodded seriously, Alan put his mind at ease, ground it with purple herbs, and put it on the reddened skin, the cold feeling came, and it didn't itch anymore, it seems that this herb like perilla is too convenient.

However, Alan is ready to give up making jam, in case he accidentally poisons it, it will be a big loss, anyway, wild berries can be ground and spread on top of bread mushrooms, maybe it tastes good.

For the next week, Alan was still looking for plants to eat, but he was a little scared at the thought of poison, and although there were many bread mushrooms, wild berries, and cat fruits, he was a little worried about malnutrition.

So he was going to go hunting, see if there were any rabbits or anything like that, and make up for himself and Xiao Hei.

Led by Blackie, Alan spotted a beast about thirty centimeters long, like a hybrid between a pig and a rabbit.

"Little Black Chong!"

"Meow~!"

Although the beast's legs were very short, it seemed to be very powerful, and Xiao Hei was hit and fell to the ground three or four meters away.

"Are you alright, Blackie?"

"Meow!"

Although Xiao Hei was not injured, Allen's desire to let Xiao Hei replace the hound seemed a little reluctant.

"Alright, let's go back then."

"Meow~! Meow~! ”

"What? You said you want to continue? Okay, so let's move on to the other animals. ”

"Meow~!"

Then Alan saw a creature like a squirrel, running to his feet unsuspectingly, smelling him like a dog.

Alan grabbed the ear directly, and it struggled to escape from Allen's grasp, but unfortunately the difference in strength was too great. However, Alan found this little guy to be very cute, with round eyes and a cute little face.

"Meow~Meow~"

Alan glanced at Xiao Hei speechlessly, and then at the loose mouse, reluctantly let go, too thin, too long hair, it must not be delicious, so he comforted himself and continued to look forward.

Then Alan saw a little bird like a bluebird flying around in the trees, and he had the idea that he could make up for the eggs all the time, which was a good idea.

So he began to come under the tree, looked at it, and after glancing at Xiao Hei, he began to rub his hands and climb forward, climbed less than two meters, and turned his head to look down.

"Wow, that's so high!"

"Meow~"

Xiao Hei also looked at it worriedly below.

Alan cheered himself up and continued to climb up, I don't know if it was his illusion, he felt that the tree seemed to be shaking, and quickly stopped his movements to look, no problem, so he cheered up and continued to climb.

But this time the branches and leaves began to shake violently, and he quickly clung to the forked branches, but the tree desperately tried to shake him off as if it was alive, and staggered.

"Meow! Meow! Meow! ”

Hearing Xiao Hei urging him to come down, Alan hurriedly prepared to climb down cautiously, but felt as if his body didn't belong to him anymore and couldn't move.

"Wow~!"

The tree shook more violently, and in order not to be thrown away, he clung to the branch, and then it seemed as if something had fallen from it, and he turned his head to see several black disgusting caterpillars on his shoulders, at least four or five centimeters long.

"It's disgusting!"

He stretched out his right hand to shoot the caterpillar down, when the tree shook violently, and Allen's foot slipped straight away, and then his body fell down.

"Bang~"

"Wow, my ass!"

Alan felt the pain in his butt and back, struggled to get up and rubbed it, found that the bone was not broken, breathed a sigh of relief, shook off the caterpillar on his shoulder, and then looked at the tree.

Allen, who was cheap, picked up a branch and stabbed the tree's body, except for the rustling sound from above, there was nothing strange, so he continued to stab, although the tree continued to shake, but did not attack her.

"Haha, Xiao Hei, do you want to come and play!"

"Meow~Meow~"

"It's okay, Blackie."

As soon as Alan finished speaking, he turned his head to look, and a large mouth and eyes appeared directly on the tree's body, and he roared and stretched out his tongue and rolled towards him.

"Wow~"

"Meow!"

Alan threw down the branch and ran away, Xiao Hei followed closely behind him, he turned his head to see that the tree did not chase after him, maybe it was the reason for taking root.

Even so, Eren broke out in a cold sweat, the guy's mouth was at least half the size of his body, worthy of another world, full of terrible things.

"Meow!!"

Xiao Hei seemed to be in a bad mood and stared at Allen with his eyes.

"Hehe, I'm sorry Xiao Hei, I won't be like this in the future."

"Meow~"

Alan smiled and rubbed his brain, for dinner that day, he honestly made the cat's fruit.
