Early in the morning, before Qi Zhen had finished her meal, Grandma Xiao and the two came to pick her up. If Xiao Jing hadn't been staring closely, she would have put down the bowl and left immediately.

I wasn't really looking forward to it, but after hearing what my grandma and grandma said was interesting, I felt like grass had grown in my heart. I quickly finished the rice in the bowl, got dressed and left.

Xiao Jing looked at the three people leaving, gritted his teeth and said, "I knew it would be like this."

As soon as I went to the river, I was teased by Yao Yi and Li He again, which made my mood even worse.

Qi Zhen's mood here is actually not very good. The snow in the mountains and forests is thick and the roads are difficult to walk, especially those that have not been traveled before.

They had tried to slow down as much as possible to take care of her, but it was still a little difficult for her to walk. Suddenly I felt that my C-level physical ability was not enough in front of those with fighting abilities.

Grandma Guo Yu obviously saw her embarrassment and said, "This is your first time collecting snow forest. It is much better than most people's first time."

"It's too strong!" Mother-in-law Yao Lan immediately agreed, "Don't be stressed, just get familiar with it."

"it is good."

Qizhen is not a troublemaker, and she would feel uncomfortable having others take special care of her.

After about an hour, she decided to leave. It can be seen that they are more interested in hunting exotic animals than collecting food and milk. And she likes to collect ingredients even more.

So, Qizhen followed several familiar aunts from the tribe and walked behind the hunting team in search of ingredients.

There are few strange animals in the forest, and the hunting team has a long front line. The advantage is that the place is spacious and everyone does not have to get into quarrels over grabbing food. The disadvantage is that it is easy to be in danger and rescue is not timely.

The people who started collecting could still keep a certain distance from each other, but then they dispersed soon after. Food is scarce in the forest, so if you want to gain something, you have to run around and accumulate a little.

At first, Qizhen followed the example of her aunts and left the snow to look for wild vegetables, but soon found that she couldn't do it because she was inexperienced and couldn't find the right place.

Finally, I got to a spot blindly, but because I couldn't control my strength in clearing the snow, I cut the wild vegetables into several sections, which was very troublesome and laborious.

I was annoyed for a while and comforted myself, 'Take your time'.

I simply found two more places. It felt like I had gained some experience, and my confidence instantly doubled. Then after a few shovels, the stems and leaves of the wild vegetables were completely separated.

Damn it, who could tell her that wild vegetables are also popular in growing in different varieties? She searched three places in a row. They all had similar growing environments, so why were the varieties different?

Different varieties have different picking methods. Okay, she admits that she is relatively useless in this area.

Learning to give up is also a good start. She decided not to spend time on the ground, specializing in large trees and bushes.

Soon, her luck came.

Find two chestnut trees. The number didn't look like much, with a few fist-sized thorn balls hanging from each branch. However, it is rare to find chestnut trees bearing fruit during this season.

Nuts such as acorns, hazelnuts, and pine cones have long been removed by small exotic animals such as mutant squirrels.

Qi Zhen skillfully controlled the wind power to turn into a big hand and picked off a thorn ball. The top of the spiny ball split open, revealing three brown-red hard shells.

It is said that the first person to eat chestnuts was Shennong. In order to find edible plants for humans, Shennong tasted all the flowers, fruits, stems and leaves. I don’t know if it’s true?

Thinking that people in this era are constantly looking for edible ingredients, eating flowers, fruits, stems and leaves, I feel like yesterday is reappearing.

Qi Zhen shook her head, shook away the complicated thoughts in her mind, and started picking chestnuts. The transformed wind-type hand was a bit expensive, so she simply made Xiaojin bigger, placed it under the tree, and then caused the branches to swing.

Wait until all the thorn balls on the branches fall into the furnace, then change the place until all the thorn balls on the tree are shaken off. Even those who were particularly stubborn and refused to come down from the branches were photographed by her with her wind palm.

Strictly implement the three-light policy of fluctuating light, shooting light and sweeping light.

I picked three big baskets from two trees. I need to pick out the empty shells according to the specific kilograms. I will do it when I go back this evening.

Qizhen put away the chestnuts and continued looking for ingredients. There was snow everywhere, and she couldn't tell the direction for a while, and couldn't help but feel a little confused. Of course, it would be most appropriate to follow the original path of the footprints, but don't expect to gain any more. Considering my physical condition, it is not suitable to take too many risks, so I followed my own footprints for half a section, and then slowly deviated from the original road.

Still heading back, we just walked out of an extra triangular area. We estimated that it was almost twenty acres of land.

After walking for nearly ten minutes, no footprints were found on the ground, not even those of strange animals. This was a place where no creature had set foot at all.

Qi Zhen was happy but worried at the same time. The two chestnut trees were not too far away from the collection team's location, and she walked halfway back. Shouldn't they be closer?

Could it be that we are actually going in the wrong direction? No, she followed her own footsteps and returned the same way.

If you don't understand, you can only remind yourself to be more cautious.

After searching carefully for nearly an hour, I couldn't find any ingredients, and Lingzhi disappeared without a trace as if it had long legs.

I thought I was lucky just now, but as soon as the territory changed, I stopped.

Fortunately, the sun did not rise today and the sky was overcast, otherwise I would have been blinded by the snow.

Qi Zhen doesn't like to wear goggles here. There are many big trees, and it's very difficult to find them if they are accidentally carried away by the branches.

I was hesitating whether to try digging wild vegetables when I spotted something red in the bushes in front of me.

The red color is quite eye-catching in the snow, even if it is only about the size of a thumb.

Qi Zhen walked over quickly and opened the branches in front of her. Wild fruits? The wind power quickly swept away the snow near the red fruit, revealing a shrub nearly one meter tall with overgrown branches.

The whole shrub is like a round ball, with all the leaves fallen off. The branches are covered with inch-long spikes, and at the bottom of each spike is a nest of fruit. Qizhen’s first reaction was that it was difficult to pick!

Injuring your hand is a small matter, but injuring your fruit is a big deal.

There are a total of seven fruits in a nest, each one is about the size of a thumb, and the color is exactly the color of the rainbow. They don’t look like ingredients, but more like refining materials.

Qi Zhen couldn't tell for sure, but she had a small piece of gold that could identify it. As Xiaojin's appraisal function increases its level, the range of appraisals becomes wider and the level of appraisal objects also continues to increase.

She was 80% sure she could identify it.

What you should worry about now is how to pick the fruit without being pricked by thorns. After much deliberation, I took out a pair of scissors, picked out a fruit near the top, and tried to cut off the spikes near it first.

"Snapped!"

Don't get me wrong, it's the scissors that break, not the thorn.

It was really hard. Qi Zhen rubbed her fingers and the tiger's mouth, then condensed a pair of gold scissors and used some strength to cut off the thorn.

I also cut off some of the unsightly ones on the side, and then I went to pick them. The fruit is easy to pick, just break it lightly and fall into the palm of your hand.

Qizhen immediately used Xiaojin to identify the seven-color fruit, a high-grade nutritional energy ingredient with an unknown taste.

It's incredible, she just didn't get anything, but once she did, the entire collection team came first.

Ahem, Qi Zhen was slightly embarrassed. She took the few sharp thorns and identified them. They turned out to be ordinary mutant plants. They couldn't even reach the low-level materials. They turned out to be strong on the outside but dry on the inside.

There is no need to dig up the tree now.
