Chapter 2: Danger lurks

It wasn't an idea to escape like this, the monster seemed so much stronger than she was, and there was always a time when her strength ran out, and it would only be her meal.

A desperate idea came to Su Xiangxiang's mind.

She patted her chest, which was heaving heavily, and stopped on a sturdy tree, looking closely at the monster through the gaps in the swaying leaves.

The monster first slammed the tree trunk twice, and then made a gesture to climb up, raising its head to test Su Xiangxiang's reaction.

After making sure that Su Xiangxiang was unable to escape, it was not busy shaking her off the tree.

Instead, he slowed down his pace, circled around the big tree, and hit the trunk vigorously from time to time, seeing Su Xiangxiang hugging the trunk in embarrassment, as if she was playing with her dying prey, enjoying her helplessness and fear.

Su Xiangxiang's eyes flashed complicatedly, and she tried to calm her breathing, and then deliberately let out a muffled crying sound, from small to large.

The intermittent sobbing sound reached the bottom of the tree, and the monster became more excited, its cloudy eyes flashing with bloodthirsty red, and it slammed harder against the trunk.

Su Xiangxiang's limbs were tightly pressed on the trunk of the tree, and a pair of amber hanging eyes looked at the position of the beast under the tree, and jumped down in the direction of moving away from the beast at the right time.

The branches were several meters high from the ground, and Su Xiangxiang rolled forward twice after landing to cushion so as not to fall and hurt her legs.

The long-awaited monster immediately pounced, moving quickly and with a fishy wind.

Su Xiangxiang barely rolled twice, dodging the monster's first punge, and at the same time touched the sharp branch on her calf without a trace.

The monster howled, and its front paws suddenly stepped on Su Xiangxiang's waist, pressing Su Xiangxiang sideways to the ground and unable to move.

The tips of the dirty claws sank deep into Su Xiangxiang's soft waist, and she was tense in pain.

Su Xiangxiang was busy crying, snot and tears, making a vulnerable and frightened appearance.

The monster felt that it was in its hands, and roared triumphantly, as if it was pleased by her pitiful appearance, and the mood for the meal became better.

When the monster's head was lowered again, he was greeted not by delicious and fresh food, but by a sharp wooden stick.

Before it could see clearly, the sharp wooden stick in Su Xiangxiang's hand instantly disappeared into one of its eyes.

With a "poof", Su Xiangxiang endured the feeling of vomiting, clenched her back molars, and quickly turned the entire wooden stick into the monster's head.

The monster jumped up from her, screaming and rolling on the ground, completely devoid of the bully he had just had.

The feeling of breaking the flesh and blood was still left in the palm of her hand, and Su Xiangxiang felt that she was about to vomit out of her nausea, but she forced herself to get up and pulled a long wooden stick from her calf.

She carefully gathered around the wallowing monster, ready to rush up and step on the monster's head to mend a stick.

The monster covered his eyes and was in pain, and he couldn't take care of the original prey at all, and a shadow suddenly came up next to him, his eyes hurt, and he was hit again.

This time the stab was so deep that almost all of the monster's head was pierced by her.

Two wooden sticks pierced deep into the brain, and the monster's energy finally weakened a little, and it was facing the sky on its back, and its limbs kicked weakly a few times, and it no longer moved.

Su Xiangxiang kept her distance and surrounded her, and made up several sticks on the critical parts of the monster to confirm that the monster was completely dead, and then relieved herself.

Just now, all her energy was dealing with the danger, and Su Xiangxiang didn't feel unwell at all.

Now that the crisis is over, her legs are weak, her stomach is tumbling, and she is holding on to a big tree and vomiting.

At the thought of touching the fishy and sticky texture of the monster, Su Xiangxiang felt that she was going to vomit up her overnight meal.

There was a hot pain in her abdomen, Su Xiangxiang's face turned white, she felt sick to her stomach under strong pressure, and looked down at her abdomen.

The thin fabric of the pajamas was cut horizontally, revealing the flat abdomen inside, and three shocking scratches appeared on it.

The flesh around the scratch was grayish-white, and the wound was crimson, and there was not much blood, like carrion on a monster.

After the fierce struggle just now, she was hot, but the wound was frightening.

Su Xiangxiang chuckled in her heart, stretched out a finger and poked the flesh on the edge of the scar, without feeling it at all.

It can't be a contagious virus, right? Like a zombie?

Ten thousand alpacas rushed past Su Xiangxiang's heart.

I really want to curse! Why is she so unlucky?

Su Xiangxiang gritted her teeth, pulled a few leaves around, wiped the dirty blood off her body, stretched her neck, and looked around.

When I fled in a hurry just now, I saw a herb in a daze, and I didn't have time to pick it.

Su Xiangxiang walked a few steps, and sure enough, she found a small purple hairball next to a dense bush.

She crouched down to take a closer look, and the oval leaves, the edges were serrate, and the white or purplish-red flowers were growing in clusters.

Su Xiangxiang tentatively picked a piece, put it in her mouth, and tasted a small bite, the taste was cool, sweet and bitter, which was the taste of a thousand needles.

Although their size is a whole circle larger than what she has seen in this world, considering the special features of this world, Su Xiangxiang estimated that there is a high probability that these in front of her are Thousand Needle Grass.

Thousand needle grass, also known as small thistle, is mashed and applied externally, which can cool blood and stop bleeding, remove stasis and reduce swelling.

The burning pain of the abdominal wound had spread to the entire abdominal cavity, Su Xiangxiang didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly pulled off a few thousand needles of grass, stuffed it into her mouth, chewed it, applied it to her hands, and pressed it on the wound in her stomach.

A refreshing coolness spreads from the abdomen.

The area around the bruised wound also began to feel a slight burning pain, and the normal temperature of the human body was restored, and it was no longer cold and felt nothing.

Well.

The plants of this world have not only grown very large in appearance, but also have several times greater medicinal effects than before.

Su Xiangxiang nodded with satisfaction, as if the temperature in her whole body had dropped slightly.

Su Xiangxiang pulled a few more large leaves on the bushes, wiped the blood on her body indiscriminately, and dealt with everything before she turned her head again to look at the corpse on the ground that was about to stiffen.

The moment she had just stabbed the monster's head with the wooden stick in her hand, Su Xiangxiang felt a slight click.

It was as if something hard had been stuffed into her soft brain, and she happened to be poked with a wooden stick.

Thinking of the novels she had read before, Su Xiangxiang tilted her head and guessed.

Could it be that there is some kind of core hidden in the monster's brain?

Su Xiangxiang wilted her head, hunched her back weakly, and sighed.

She really didn't want to put her hand in a pile of brains if she could......

But the monster that was finally killed, if he really missed something good, Su Xiangxiang would regret it for several days.

She rolled up her sleeves and reluctantly stretched her legs, one hand stretched out as hard as she could, and trembled little by little down her pierced eye socket into the monster's head.

The soft and clammy touch gradually passed her slender fingers, wrists, and then her forearms, and the smell of fish was so strong that it smoked her eyes.

Su Xiangxiang held her breath, for fear that she would not be able to help spit it out again.

She tried to ignore the wet sound of groping in a pile of brains, and frowned for a moment.

Just as Su Xiangxiang began to doubt herself, her exploratory fingertips suddenly touched a sharp hard object.

Su Xiangxiang's body shook slightly, her eyes widened, she accelerated her speed and rubbed the direction of the sharp object, and really caught a small stone-like object with sharp edges and corners.

She was so excited that she held the small stone tightly in her hand and pulled her arm out of the sea of blood mixed with brains.

After the small stone was removed, the monster's bare bones changed from their original bright red color to a deep brownish red, as if the last life force had been drained, and completely turned into rotten rotten flesh.

Su Xiangxiang didn't have time to wipe off the brains that were all over her arm, and the palm wrapped in the foreign object was urgently unfolded in front of Su Xiangxiang's eyes.

It is a transparent hexagonal crystal, in the shape of a long strip, and the tip of the crystal should be pierced to the tip of the crystal just after it reaches the fingertips.

Su Xiangxiang picked up the clean part of the pajamas, wiped the remaining filth on the surface of the crystal, pinched it with two fingers, and raised it above her head, letting the sunlight shine through this strange crystal stone.

The inside of the crystal remained crystal clear on the outside, but a drop of crimson liquid dripped into the center.

It's like a drop of blood that has just been dripped into water, and before it can be mixed, it is sealed and stilled by a mysterious force.

Su Xiangxiang narrowed her eyes and approached the crystal, and saw that the jet-black blood was spreading in other directions at an extremely slow speed.

He put the crystal close to his nose and sniffed it, then found another stone and knocked on it.

The crystal pattern did not move at all, only the blood red sealed inside spread silently.

For no reason, Su Xiangxiang just felt that this hard-won small stone was very important, wiped its surface again, and cherished it in the pajama pocket on her chest.

She found a few more soft and clean leaves, wiped the slimy brain from her arm, easily identified the direction through the sun, and continued on her way.

Su Xiangxiang walked in the dense forest with bare feet for a long time, and her vision was always blocked by the ancient forest more than ten meters high, and she couldn't see the way out of the forest at all.

The surrounding vegetation is dense, flowers and trees are in full bloom, and there are many kinds of wild vegetables, but unfortunately there is no sign of human beings at all.

The pajamas on his body were tattered, soaked with blood and sweat, and it was very unpleasant to stick to his body.

In addition, Su Xiangxiang has not eaten a drop of water since the morning, and she is thirsty.

She looked up through the gaps in the swaying leaves, and the sun would soon set.

The forest was too big for her to get out before dark.

So, Su Xiangxiang changed her strategy and accelerated towards the low-lying area.

People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places.

If you're lucky, the low-lying terrain is likely to have naturally formed streams.

Spending the night in the jungle wasn't a hard thing for her.

But now the primary goal is to find the water necessary for life.

After walking downhill for a long time, Su Xiangxiang noticed that there were a lot of vegetation growing near the water nearby, and couldn't help but speed up her pace.

Sure enough, after not running a few steps, the sound of dripping water suddenly reached Su Xiangxiang's ears.

Su Xiangxiang followed the source of the sound and ran excitedly.

The rapidly receding trees around him became more and more thin, and the clear water of the stream gradually came into view.

Su Xiangxiang ran to the stream and braked sharply, startling away a few birds in the trees beside her.

She calmed her heaving chest as she looked at the stream in front of her.
