As the sun sets, the sky gradually begins to darken.

"Xiaoxiao, can't you eat it yet?" Mu Jin rubbed his rumbling belly.

Shen Xiaoxiao's cooking is so fragrant, just adding some strange leaves and fruits she just picked, ordinary barbecue and vegetable soup, it can actually be made so fragrant.

"It's almost, when Mo Yan and Ning Di come back, we'll have dinner."

Shen Xiaoxiao tasted a mouthful of soup, the taste was okay, there were not many condiments on their bodies, and the ingredients they could use were limited, so it was already very good to be able to achieve this taste.

"They don't know when they'll be back, and when they do, maybe we'll all starve to death!" Wang Wei clutched his rumbling belly in protest.

"That's it, that's it." Mu Jin echoed on the side.

"They're almost there." Shen Xiaoxiao glanced at the woods on the shore.

As soon as Shen Xiaoxiao's words fell, Mu Jin vaguely saw two familiar figures appear in the distance, and couldn't help shouting at them.

"You're back!"

"There's a fragrant fruit tree nearby, why are you pulling Lao Mo so far?" Wang Wei complained about Ning Di.

Ning Di ignored Wang Wei, his brain was full of Mo Yan's words during the day, he really couldn't think of anything else about Shen Xiaoxiao besides his special abilities, which would make people feel special.

He asked a few times along the way, but Mo Yan didn't answer, just let him observe for himself.

"Just in time to come back." Shen Xiaoxiao said with a smile.

The five of them had a delicious dinner, Mu Jin and Wang Wei praised Shen Xiaoxiao's cooking skills, and the two also asked Shen Xiaoxiao to pick more, strange leaves and fruits, and bring them back tomorrow.

……

Before dawn in the morning, Mo Yan woke up several people from their sleep.

"Old Mo... What do you want? Mu Jin half leaned on Mo Yan, his eyes couldn't open, and he was weak to speak.

"Do the task." Mo Yan pushed Mu Jin away.

"Then it doesn't have to be so early, right?" Wang Wei also patted Ning Di in a daze.

"Yes, Brother Mo, you don't need to get up so early to pick the fruits of trees and vines, and the road is not far." Ning Di looked up at the sky, the stars were still hanging in the sky, this was too early.

"It's a long way." Mo Yan replied.

Shen Xiaoxiao's task, in fact, is the simplest of the five of them, the fruits of trees and vines are available all year round, and they basically grow in patches, and they are easy to pick.

It's just that the location where it only grows, which is a bit troublesome, is exactly in a straight line with the entrance, which increases the distance by about three times.

Their original plan was to finish the tasks of Mu Jin, Mo Yan, Wang Wei, and Shen Xiaoxiao first, and then rush back to the river, rest for the night, and the next morning, after completing Ning Di's tasks, they left the Misty Forest.

But yesterday something went wrong, so they had to change their route temporarily, but fortunately, they were lucky, and they still completed four tasks according to the original plan, and today they still only need to be the last one, and they can leave here.

"Brother, Brother Mu, wake up, don't sleep, today's journey is a bit far, we are in a hurry." Ning Di thought about it in her mind for a while, but decided to wake them up and set off immediately.

Their current position is not far from the exit, and it won't take half a day to leave, but they now have to walk deeply, and walking down in a circle is equivalent to walking through the Misty Forest, three-fifths of the outer area.

By leaving earlier, they would at least be able to reach the exit earlier and leave the place so that there would be no further accidents on the way.

After they washed up briefly, they carried their respective backpacks and headed towards Shen Xiaoxiao's task point, Mu Jin and Wang Wei yawned wildly along the way.

When the five of them arrived at the place, the sky was full of white, and everyone felt that there was a division of labor, three people were responsible for collecting the fruits of the tree and vine, and two were responsible for separating the flesh from the core.

Because the taste of the flesh of the tree vine is not as good as the seeds in the kernel, and it has no medicinal value, it cannot be stored for a long time, so there is a commission about it, and only the seeds are collected.

"Almost." Mo Yan lifted the cloth bag on the ground and tested the weight.

"Hmm." Shen Xiaoxiao peeled the last few pits, stuffed them into a bag, and was about to walk forward with them, still muttering in her mouth: "Let's go, go straight to the crossing, it's too time-consuming to detour." ”

"Crossing?"

The other three people, except for Mo Yan, all stared at her in shock when they heard Shen Xiaoxiao say that she was going to cross the misty forest.

You must know that in the center of the misty forest, another mutated big willow tree sits in town, and the mutated plants nearby are all obeying it, Shen Xiaoxiao was able to come back alive from the center the day before yesterday, and she also picked a few lotus pods, which is already her fate.

Ning Di didn't expect that she would want to go again......

Ning Di tactfully persuaded: "Xiaoxiao, let's be safe today, let's take a detour." ”

Mu Jin echoed: "Yes, Xiaoxiao, let's be safe." ”

Wang Wei also echoed: "Yes, yes, we are not in a hurry." ”

Shen Xiaoxiao: "Don't worry, I ......"

Mo Yan pointed to the direction of the exit: "The exit is in that direction, you lead the way." ”

Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Mo Yan in surprise, she was allowed to explain to them that she was sure to take them across the misty forest, but he interrupted her, and took the initiative to inform her of the direction of the exit.

Mo Yan: "What? ”

Shen Xiaoxiao: "You're not afraid of me, take you to a dangerous place?" ”

Mo Yan: "Well, lead the way." ”

After speaking, Mo Yan took the initiative to lift Shen Xiaoxiao's bag, raised his feet and was about to walk towards the center of the forest, but was hurriedly stopped by Mu Jin.

Mu Jin: "Lao Mo, Xiaoxiao doesn't understand the situation and wants to cross the misty forest, I can understand!" But you can't mess around. ”

Ning Di: "Brother Mo, you ......"

Mo Yan looked at Ning Di: "Xiaoxiao was able to come back unharmed from the Lord of the Forest, I don't think it was by luck." ”

Ning Di looked at Shen Xiaoxiao and asked, "Xiaoxiao, are you sure?" ”

Shen Xiaoxiao nodded: "Hmm." ”

She had already asked the other mutant plants in the forest who could talk to help her ask the big willow tree, and the big willow tree agreed.

"Then you lead the way." Ning Di sighed.

"Okay, you guys keep up." Shen Xiaoxiao was the first to walk towards the center.

Mo Yan and Ning Di also followed.

"Isn't it, Xiao Di, you're also messing around?" Mu Jin and Wang Wei said in unison.

"There is so much nonsense, don't hurry up and keep up, be careful of falling behind and encountering danger." Ning Di stopped and looked back at them.

"Not ......"

The distance between them in the center was getting closer and closer, and Ning Di was getting more and more nervous, and looking back, Mu Jin and Wang Wei held their weapons in their hands.

And Mo Yan and Shen Xiaoxiao, who were at the forefront, were like no one else, did they have a chat.

At noon, under the leadership of Shen Xiaoxiao, they walked to the center of the forest, and they didn't encounter any danger along the way, and Ning Di gradually relaxed his heart.

This was the first time they had seen it so closely, a huge mutated tree known as the Lord of the Forest, and its size was definitely worthy of the title of Lord of the Forest.

However, what it does is really not at all comparable to the title of Lord of the Forest......

Because, the willow branch of the big willow tree was wrapped around a lotus flower and handed it to Shen Xiaoxiao......
