"Lindsay, I think this meat tastes weird?"

"What do you think my cooking skills are, the almighty wishing machine? If you really want to eat good meat, I can roast it for you right now......"

Hearing the first byte of the barbecue, Red decisively rejected the offer.

"Forget it, I'm still going to eat this...... This noodle tastes so good, and it doesn't feel like meat at all when you bite into it! Will we be able to eat this every day in the future? ”

Lindsay raised an eyebrow: "And then eat it for a month." ”

Red bit his lip: "Uh...... I think it's better to eat in rotation. ”

Lindsay didn't intend to be red all the time, and shook her head and chuckled at the moment:

"Don't be embarrassed."

"I still have potato and cabbage seeds here that I can eat later on the road. If we happen to find other crops, we can have more choices in terms of food. ”

Red's attention was almost entirely on the new term.

"Potatoes? Cabbage? ”

"What's that? Lindsay, I want to eat it now! ”

Lindsay glanced at the bats in the sky without a trace, and then decisively refused:

"No, cultivating plants consumes essentia, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Red immediately finished the vulture stew, then moved to sit next to Lindsay, and stretched out his palm:

"Essentia, use mine, I have a lot of this thing!"

“……”

"Where did you get your power bank?"

Lindsay complained, and the girl dangled her white arm in front of Lindsay, still urging:

"Quick, take it and use it!"

Syllable!

Lindsay slapped his red palm and said the cruel reality:

"Even if you say that, I really won't!"

Red immediately put forward a counter-example:

"But when you helped me feel essentia before, didn't you stuff your essentia into my body?"

"Now it's better to try the other way around!"

Lindsey shrugged:

"That's just a little essentia for you, and extracting someone else's essentia and exercising your own skills are completely different things, you're confusing different concepts."

Red was very unwilling, gritted his teeth and said:

"Can't you think of a way, even if you are cruel to me, I don't mind at all."

Lindsay's tone didn't change at all:

"What you can't do is not good, you give up."

“……”

After repeated confirmation to no avail, Red could only accept the reality, and she put her expectations for the new food until tomorrow, and ran to sleep with her waist stretched.

Lindsay waited a little longer.

He planted some more seeds, this time with potatoes and cabbage, which took about half an hour.

Lindsay then entered the camp and continued to sleep.

However, nothing came of this performance.

Whether it's shown on the map, aerial scouting bats, or Lindsay's own senses.

No new assailants have ever been found.

Except for the rock golem out there, which has lost power.

The sneak attack just now seemed to be an illusion, and the enemy hiding in the shadows did not make any new moves.

……

Early the next morning, Lindsay and Red woke up on time.

The two of them walked out of the camp, and the canyon that greeted them was no different from yesterday.

But where the rock golem was killed yesterday.

"It's gone!"

"Lindsay, that puppet or something is gone!"

With his eyes wide open, Red stepped forward to check on the situation.

The girl bent over, her fingers and gaze sweeping over the earthy earth.

The traces of yesterday's battle are well left on the ground and on the cliff wall, except for the remains of the rock golem.

"Hmmm......"

Lindsay nodded slightly, and the hunting module was also activated with the action.

However, where the rock golem fell, there were no footprints or any traces.

Something a few meters tall just disappears!

Lindsay looked up at the sky:

"Come down, what happened last night?"

Hearing the master's order, the bat summon that had been keeping watch all night last night landed and began to report the situation:

"Last night, no enemy approached."

Lindsey pointed to the location where the rock golem had disappeared:

"And how did you not have this thing?"

"When you sleep, it melts into the earth and disappears."

“……”

In the introduction to the rock golem, it is indeed stated that it can travel through the earth.

But Lindsey doesn't think that a destroyed puppet can still make this ability work.

Not to mention the timing of the other party's disappearance, just after Lindsay and Red rested, it was obvious that they were deliberately avoiding their detection.

"Are you still spying on us from the dark......

Lindsay whispered a sigh of emotion and waved her hand to let the bat rise again, keeping her on guard.

Red, who also heard the bat's report, was slightly dissatisfied:

"Lindsay, your summon is too stupid to react to this obvious abnormality!"

Lindsey blames herself for the problem:

"Minions are inherently inferior."

"It's because I didn't give the order rigorously enough, and I only let it be responsible for guarding the enemy, which can be regarded as a lesson."

With that, Lindsay turned to harvest the potatoes she had planted last night.

Since the attackers have done this in detail, they must be prepared to continue to hibernate, and there is a high probability that no other information can be obtained by tossing in place at the moment.

Red followed, too.

She watched Lindsay's movements, followed to help without being reminded, and learned the action of digging potatoes well.

Lindsay was keenly aware of one thing.

In the process of digging potatoes, Red also secretly took a bite.

As for the taste of raw potatoes...... At least looking at her expression, she is still very satisfied.

This scene also inspired Lindsay, reminding him of the street food he used to eat as a child.

"When you have the materials in the future, can you try to make some skewers?"

“……”

A few minutes later, Lindsey had finished harvesting food and was ready to tidy up the camp.

As a result, she found that Lindsay did not return, but began to dig the soil in high spirits at the place where she had planted yesterday.

"What are you digging for?"

Lindsey explains:

"I spent Essentia to cultivate this soil, and I can use it a few more times if I take it away, but I can't waste it here!"

Waste......

Red's expression was thoughtful, and then he stretched out his right hand to Lindsay:

"Hey, give me that thing of yours."

Lindsay immediately reacted, and Red was asking him for the [Ice Badger Claw Pendant].

He asked rhetorically:

"Is it cold now?"

Red turned around and was about to burrow into the camp in a huff, and the voice floated out synchronously:

"You manage so much, just say whether to give it or not!"

Syllable!

"Lindsay, don't smash my head!"

“……”

The rest of the journey.

In addition to the difficult cliffs to cross, the Lindsey duo also had an additional mission to find the attacker.

But the reality was unexpected.

They were gone for two whole weeks!

Half a month passed, and the expected second sneak attack never came, as if the attackers had completely given up paying attention to the two.

Until the afternoon of the sixteenth day.

After crossing the cracks in the earth that I don't know how many.

Finally, a few kilometers ahead, a forest with no end in sight appeared in their field of vision.

It is full of trees and shade.

The air in the forest was fresh and moist, full of bountiful bogetal fragrances, and even Lindsay could now smell that smell from the wind.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded behind the two of them.

A low growl said in lingua franca:

"Humans."

"If I were you, I would never set foot in this forest."
