Chapter 160 Bear’s Heart and Leopard’s Boldness

After leaving the stall, Apas couldn't hide her curiosity and asked Qin Feng:
"Qin Feng, how do you know that old man is related to the totem?"

Lingling heard this and said with a hint of sarcasm:

"Tsk, is your brain filled with those two lumps of fat? You can't even see something so obvious?"

Apas was not to be outdone, and responded with a grimace:

"At least I have something to show for it, unlike someone who has nothing, a real poor girl!"

As he spoke, Apas deliberately hugged Qin Feng's arm, letting his arm sink deep into his own abyss.

Lingling was furious when she saw this.

"Okay, stop it." Qin Feng pulled his arm back from Apas's arms.

Although he felt very comfortable in Apas's arms, there was Xiao Lingling watching him, and he was embarrassed to continue taking advantage of Apas in front of her.

"The reason is actually very simple," Qin Feng explained, "Seeing the totem mark can make him react so strongly. Either he is the enemy of the totem, or he has a deep connection with the totem - for example, he or his ancestors were once the guardians of the totem."

Just as Qin Feng guessed, the old man setting up the stall did belong to a family of totem guardians.

Although the old man did not reveal what kind of changes his family had encountered, one thing is certain: there is indeed a totem panda living in the Shunan Bamboo Sea.

"But, so much time has passed. Will the totem iron-eating beast still be willing to help us humans?" Lingling frowned slightly and asked with a hint of worry.

"If you don't know, you should try it even more. Isn't this the charm of adventure?" Qin Feng asked back.

"Too!"

……

Soon after leaving Yibin City, Qin Feng and his companions' attention were attracted by the lush green bamboo sea in the distance.

Looking from the outside, each bamboo is towering into the sky, more than ten meters high.

Looking from where they were, it seemed that the deeper they went into the bamboo forest, the more the bamboo forest appeared to rise in a stair-like pattern until, deep inside, the color of the bamboo turned into a deep purple, as if reaching straight into the sky.

"It's really spectacular," Qin Feng couldn't help but sigh, "I wonder if there are any good things hidden deep in this bamboo sea."

There should be," Lingling nodded in agreement, her eyes gleaming with anticipation, "After all, few people can go deep into the core area of the bamboo sea. Rumor has it that there are also jet-black black crystal bamboos growing in the core area. The most common black crystal bamboo is also an excellent material for making soul-level magic weapons!"

"Then let's go. I hope we won't return empty-handed."

As Qin Feng spoke, he stepped into the mysterious bamboo sea and led the way forward.

……

In this vast sea of bamboo, in addition to the endless green bamboos, there are also a variety of shrubs and other plants.

As this place is sparsely populated, the ground is covered with thick bamboo leaves and broken branches. Whenever Qin Feng and the other two stepped on it, a crisp "crunching" sound was made, as if it was the only echo in this quiet world.

Qin Feng and his party had just entered the bamboo sea for less than 500 meters when they were attacked by three slave-level monsters.

However, for Qin Feng, these monsters were just a piece of cake. Just a glance was enough to turn them into ashes.

However, this also shows how extremely dangerous the Shunan Bamboo Sea is. Even in the marginal areas, the density of monsters has reached the orange zone.

"There's a sound of fighting over there." Apas suddenly pointed to the northwest.

"Let's go and take a look at the fight." Qin Feng said decisively.

A few people crossed a bush and came to a relatively open area. They saw a thornback bear and a ghost-faced leopard fighting fiercely here. The scene was bloody and chaotic. "Tsk, tsk, is this the law of survival in this bamboo forest?" Apas looked at the two demons fighting to a bloody mess and couldn't help but smack his lips.

When Lingling heard this, she looked at Apas curiously.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Apas asked in confusion.

"I thought you were newbie, but I didn't expect you also understood the principles of the law of survival." Lingling said with a little surprise.

"Who are you calling a rookie? You are the rookie, your whole family is rookies!" Apas retorted angrily.

Just then, Qin Feng stood up and walked towards the place where the fight was taking place.

"Hey, what are you going to do?" Lingling asked doubtfully.

"If we let them keep fighting, the meat will no longer be fresh." Qin Feng replied calmly, his figure flashed and he instantly appeared between the two beasts.

He condensed the blade with a sound, and ended the fight cleanly and neatly. The two beasts that were "tearing each other" fell down, and their heads rolled to the side.

It wasn't until Qin Feng resolved the battle that Lingling finally reacted: "Meat? We're going to eat this?"

"Yes, come out and eat some game, right?" Qin Feng opened the space crack and temporarily stored the bodies of the two monsters inside.

"Will it be delicious?" Lingling frowned, with a hint of hesitation in her eyes.

"Trust my skills. My Bubu said it was delicious after eating it!" Qin Feng patted his chest confidently.

Lingling looked at Qin Feng's confident look, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, I'll trust you this time!"

"Let's keep going and find a place closer to a water source to stay."

……

We continued traveling in the bamboo sea for about two hours, encountering nearly ten attacks from demons, including a general-level bamboo rat.

Just before it got completely dark, everyone finally found a relatively safe place to stay.

Ibrahimovic quickly cleared a space, while Qin Feng skillfully set up the tent and then began to prepare the game they had hunted along the way.

The side dishes were rare herbs "picked up" from monsters along the way. These unexpected gains added a touch of luxury to the dinner.

In just half an hour, Qin Feng prepared a sumptuous dinner. The fragrant food filled the simple dining table, making people salivate.

"What is this?" Lingling asked in confusion, pointing at a strangely shaped charcoal-grilled meat strip and two grilled skewers that looked like eggs on the table.

"This..." Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, then showed a meaningful smile: "This is a tonic, do you want to try it?"

"A tonic? What tonic?" Lingling was still puzzled.

Apas snorted and glanced at the food on the table with disdain. "Humph, a brat is a brat. Can't you tell what it is from this shape? It's just the whip of a leopard."

Hearing this, Lingling was stunned for a few seconds, and then she suddenly realized what the so-called "leopard whip" meant.

"Bah! Disgusting!" She spat with a red face.

"You don't want to eat it? Then I'll eat it!" Apas didn't show any embarrassment at all. Instead, she reached out and grabbed the 'leopard whip', opened her little mouth, and bit it.

She pulled hard, tearing the barbecue in half, and at the same time glanced provocatively at Qin Feng's crotch.

Seeing this, Qin Feng's body trembled involuntarily and he clamped his legs together subconsciously.
