A wisp of smoke and wind and rain are shaking, and the moon of gloom is cloudy and sunny.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Well, that's pretty much it......"

Even though she didn't actually need to breathe, Xinglan took a deep breath, tied the last few knots, and then lifted the small simple green mesh bag in her hand and tugged at it with satisfaction, making sure that it wouldn't fall apart halfway because it couldn't bear the weight.

This is a mesh bag made of several slender vines crossed together, simply woven into a mesh bag, its thick mesh can't even fit the smaller plant fruits, but thanks to the natural sturdiness of these vines and Xinglan's relatively high-end knotting technology, it is still worth looking forward to in terms of bearing capacity and durability.

Of course, the vines used to weave it are certainly not golden-glazed vines...... Those weird vines that only grow on the iron trees are really, very tough, and even Xinglan's dagger is unlikely to cut them apart except for burning them with fire, so the vines used in this net bag are just ordinary vines collected from nearby trees.

"Wow, your weaving skills are amazing......" Yumo watched with some amazement as Xinglan managed this net bag, she would only use vines to tie some of the simplest dead knots, and she wouldn't weave such a complicated thing at all, "so that you can collect more fruits from nearby trees and bring them back." ”

"But the picking will have to be handed over to you......" Xinglan looked at the tall trees a little helplessly, and at the same time glanced at Xijie, who was idle on the ground next to him, "After all, it is much easier for you to climb the trees, so I will stay below and be responsible for collecting the fallen fruits." ”

Although they look similar in appearance, the Moon Prayer People are really very different from the earthlings, not only the free discoloration of the skin and the adsorption ability of the limbs, but also the simple arm strength is much stronger...... Their muscles are very strong, and although their weight is not exaggerated like that of the tide knot, they are also very light. According to Xinglan's estimate, if it was at the level of rain foam, it was estimated that it would be easy to do hundreds of pull-ups on a tree branch in a row.

Coupled with the adsorption capacity of the hands and feet...... Like Xinglan, Yumo also wears no shoes at all, her strong tree-climbing ability is almost comparable to Xijie, and she can move through the forest with ease, and the vines needed to weave the net bag before were also obtained by Yumo from a few nearby trees, and she picks vines even faster than Xinglan weaves.

If the Moon Prayer people develop to a stage such as feudal society in the future, then I am afraid that the so-called flying eaves and wall walking are simply commonplace for them, and anyone can be like a martial arts master.

Well, in all fairness, Xinglan is still a little depressed, she originally thought that her already strong mechanical body had found that she had been encountering objects that she needed to look up to in various senses, but this problem was not very big, after all, it was easy for her to change her biological body to manipulate or something.

The confirmed rain foam crept up the trunk lightly, and in terms of familiarity with these plants, she was definitely far more familiar than Xinglan and Shiojie, and began to search for fruit in the dense canopy. Xijie didn't lag behind, and jumped into the canopy of the tree right after, and she was not only responsible for picking fruits, but also for the all-important early warning work.

Of course, Xinglan also told her in her ear with a signal with some worry: "When picking fruits, be careful of lurking fruit insects. ”

Xiyu didn't speak, but nodded lightly to show that she understood, she knew that Xinglan would definitely notice her movements.

It was almost six o'clock now, and the sky was getting darker and darker than before, and even a faint hint of starlight began to appear in the gaps between the rain clouds, and there was not much time left for them.

"Huh......" Xinglan has relaxed temporarily, and now she only needs to be responsible for picking up the fruit below, and this job is ...... Actually, there is not much pressure, and there is no need to be too nervous.

After all, this is not the season for trees to bear fruit on a large scale, and in most cases, the fruit in reality is not as full of trees as in the story, and you have to keep turning over the large number of dense leaves in front of you to find something.

……

All they had to do was prepare temporary food, not hoard them to live here permanently, so after collecting about a dozen fruits with a diameter of four or five centimeters, Xinglan shouted to them so that they could call it a day, these foods were enough.

It didn't take long for Xijie to appear in Xinglan's field of vision, relying on the extremely light falling mass to jump directly from the low branches, but the rain did not come down immediately, but only sneakily poked his head out from under the canopy after a while, and beckoned to Xinglan to come up: "Xinglan come and see, I didn't expect there to be that thing around here!" ”

"What?" Xinglan was slightly stunned, but quickly reacted, put the bag containing the fruit on the ground, and then climbed up along the tree where Yumo was, although her speed was not as fast as Yumo, but it was not much slower.

"Hmm, what's so strange?"

Xinglan climbed all the way to the top of the canopy, the thin branches swaying back and forth under the weight of the tree, but there was still no danger of breaking. She was already at the same height as the rain foam, but when she looked around, she didn't notice much of anything unusual, only to see the darkening sky above her weigh down.

"In that direction, look carefully......" Yumo stretched out his finger and pointed to the left front, with a thick excitement on his face, "I didn't expect us to be so lucky to find this here." ”

"What's that?" Xinglan looked at the direction that Yumo was pointing, the sky was getting darker and darker, especially when it was still far away...... After tossing and turning for a long time, she finally noticed through the drizzle what the rain meant: it was a very thin white pillar of smoke, which meandered from the forest into the sky, appearing and disappearing in the wind and rain.

It's really inconspicuous, the wind is constantly drizzling, and this small white plume of smoke can easily be blown to the ground, and it can only be observed during the occasional quiet time, and the dark background greatly increases the difficulty of observation.

"It's as difficult as locating the stars from the sky with the naked eye." Xinglan muttered in a low voice, turning her head to look at Yumo next to her, "What the hell is that?" Is it the moon-praying man's bonfire that is smoking? ”

"Campfire? What's that? To Xinglan's surprise, Yumo blinked a little puzzled, "Fire in the ditch? I've heard of it, but I haven't seen anything like flame in person......"

"Huh...... Huh? This answer was really unexpected by Xinglan, and she couldn't help but ask again, "You really haven't seen anything like flames?" ”

"En......"

After confirming it repeatedly, Xing Lan finally affirmed this: the Moon Prayer People, a civilized race that feels more powerful in every sense, still can't make fire artificially, and they don't know how to use the power of flame...... Although they do not eat vegetarian food, they only gnaw raw meat on animal carcasses, and at most they wash them in water, and do not burn mature meat at all.

Although the sea giants have evolved for hundreds of millions of years, they will not ignite fires, but that is completely expected, after all, they live in the underwater environment, which is understandable, but the Moon Prayers live on land, or this kind of vegetation forest area will not ignite fires...... Xinglan felt that she needed to change her judgment of them, maybe their level of civilization was not as high as she had imagined, but the intelligence and special abilities of this species itself gave her some illusions.

"Isn't it smoke from a flame? Also, it is too difficult to light a flame in the open on such a drizzly day. Xinglan looked at the thin column of smoke again, but the latter was quickly blown clean by a gust of wind, "What the hell is that, that keeps making this light smoke ...... there?"

"It's a plant, a plant that can heal the sick!" Yumo said with some relief on her face, "We need some leaves from this plant, it will be very helpful for my sister's foot injury...... However, the process of touching it can also be dangerous. While it's easy to get through these troubles with good preparation, be careful. ”

"A plant that might be dangerous to touch...... Xinglan nodded in understanding, keeping the general direction firmly in mind, and then began to climb down the tree first, "It sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun." ”

"Xinglan, although I don't know who taught you, but your mentality is not good!" Yumo also quickly returned to the ground along the trunk of the tree, and immediately put on the appearance of a big sister, and accused Xinglan with some seriousness, "Many things are only interesting thoughts, and it is easy to die in an unknown place!" The forest is not a fun place. ”

"I know, I know......" Xinglan was lazy and perfunctory, she didn't bother to explain the specific situation to Yumo, and at the same time, it was impossible to dislike the other party's verbosity, after all, this was also a sign of caring about her, "If you continue to rub it here, you will really go into the night completely, and you don't want to leave your sister alone in the dark forest." ”

"Oh yes, let's head over there, there's not much time left." Sure enough, at the mention of Yunmo, Yumo immediately became nervous, this was definitely one of her dead ends, and Xinglan even secretly wondered if she would be a standard sister control......

With a hint of a smile, Xinglan looked back at Yumo's nervous expression, but she was suddenly stunned, and an extremely strange feeling made her feel a chill as well.

The frost of the ice moon peeked out of the gaps in the clouds, and the silvery-white moonlight sprinkled from the sky, announcing the gradual decrease in the rain. In the darkening forest, the silver-white girl with long hair stared at her, her pupils with obvious light-gathering ability flashed slightly in the darkness like a wolf's eyes, but this was not the point that made Xinglan feel weird.

Her eyes ...... It's not the same as before, right?

Xinglan looked at Yumo's eyes a little sluggishly, her memory was very clear, when she saw it before, Yumo's pupil shape was just a very thin crescent moon, but now it is almost a standard first quarter moon, and the area is much larger than before!

Could it be that this kind of pupil of the moon prayer person ...... It's also like the real Ice Moon Frost Shower, which is cloudy and sunny?
