Holding the space chat group, the cannon fodder female supporting role ascended

Chapter 1002 On the Journey of Trials
Yunxi easily crushed the pine nut shells, looked at the pale yellow pine nut kernels inside, and threw them directly into her mouth. Immediately, a familiar and rich taste filled her mouth, along with a faint wood-type immortal energy. Although it was very weak, Yunxi still sensed it.

Meanwhile, the three-tailed red squirrel on the other side also tasted the honey in the jade bottle, its eyes sparkling, clearly enjoying the sweet flavor.

The other squirrel didn't even greet Yunxi before disappearing into the pine and cypress forest in a few leaps. It seemed that the three-tailed red squirrel had probably taken the honey back to share with its companions.

Yunxi gave the other two pine nuts to Yuanwu:
"Can I try this white-eyed one?"

Compared to Ape Five's large palm, the two pine nuts looked like two grains of sand, leaving her momentarily at a loss. She scratched her head and said:

Does this thing contain immortal energy?

Yun Xi nodded and said:
"It contains wood-type immortal energy, but not much."

Holding Bai Tong, Yuan Liu shook his head and said:
"Bai Tong can't eat it; the immortal energy entering his body will cause even more damage."

But Bai Tong seemed to be looking forward to it, clearly wanting to try the taste of pine nuts.

Yun Xi thought for a moment and said:
“In that case, I will extract the immortal energy inside. It may not taste very good, but Bai Tong should be able to eat it.”

This time, neither Ape Five nor Ape Six objected, because they had never thought of draining the immortal energy from certain foods just so that Bai Tong could taste it.

They always did what they thought was best for Bai Tong, but they ignored Bai Tong's feelings. Now they understand why Bai Tong left the clan's territory with the female immortal they had only met once.

Ignoring the thoughts of the towering six-armed apes, Yunxi crushed the pine nut shells, drained the immortal energy within, and handed them to Bai Tong with a smile:

"Try it! Let me know if there's anything you'd like to try on the way, and I'll try my best to get it for you."

Bai Tong blinked her bright, watery eyes. After Yuan Wu checked that the pine nuts were fine, she couldn't wait to throw them into her mouth. Her eyes lit up immediately, clearly satisfied with the taste of the pine nuts.

Yunxi sighed inwardly: What a pitiful child, unable to even satisfy his basic needs. No wonder he left the clan's territory even knowing he would die. This was probably the little guy's last act of defiance.

Seeing that Bai Tong was enjoying his meal, Ape Five and Ape Six exchanged a glance and thought about exchanging some pine nuts with the Three-Tailed Red Squirrel. Although they were both in the inner circle, they each had their own territory and usually didn't have any conflicts. They figured the other party wouldn't refuse if they asked.

Just then, the fourth-tier three-tailed red squirrel reappeared in front of Yunxi, swishing its three tails and saying:

"Human, your stuff is quite good. We'd like to trade with you. One bottle of honey for three pine nuts."

Yunxi shook her head and said:
"How can that be? I'd be losing out. The honey in that jar can be diluted with water and lasts a long time."

The three-tailed red squirrel jumped up and said:

"Oh dear! Why didn't you say so sooner?"

Yun Xi spread his hands and said:
"I thought you knew."

The three-tailed red squirrel jumped up and down, transforming into a streak of red light and disappearing again in front of Yunxi. Yunxi then added loudly:
"It's best to use warm water to mix honey, and don't add too much water, otherwise it won't be sweet!"

The other party only sent back three words from afar:

"understood!"

Yunxi smiled helplessly, then turned to look at Yuan Wu and his group and said, "If they agree, I will exchange for more."

"it is good."

Ape Five smiled and agreed.

Half an hour later, the three-tailed red squirrel reappeared in front of Yunxi, this time followed by a group of red squirrels.

The little guys stepped forward one by one, rummaged through their own internal spaces, took out the pine nuts they had accumulated, and placed them at Yunxi's feet. In a short while, a small cone-shaped pile of pine nuts was formed.

Yunxi nodded in satisfaction, waved her sleeve and took out ten small bottles of honey as an exchange. After the three-tailed red squirrel in the lead inspected them and found them to be in good condition, Yunxi accepted the pine nuts. Both parties were very satisfied with the exchange, and then she and Ape Five and his group left the pine forest.

Over the next few days, Yunxi had Diandian find a place with a water source and began to wait for her prey. However, before that, she instructed Yuan Wu and the others to tone down their aura so as not to scare away her prey.

Yunxi also went to the water source to catch a few red dragonfish. After grilling them, she bribed Ape Five and his group. The grilled red dragonfish meat went into the bellies of the six-armed apes, and they agreed to cooperate with Yunxi's next actions.

She prepared fish soup for Bai Tong separately, but she made sure to remove all the immortal energy from the soup before letting him drink it.

Bai Tong was a little shocked after drinking the soup. This was the first time he had ever drunk fish soup. In the past, the tribesmen would eat the fish raw after catching them, and the grilled fish were for the young children in the tribe. But he had never tasted it before.

Yunxi waited by the water source for four days. Just when Diandian was getting a little anxious, a group of deer came to drink water, and a moment later a group of spiky black boars came to the same place.

The two sides seemed to have a grudge against each other. Upon meeting, they attacked each other without saying a word. The hooves of the red deer were hard and large, and one hoof could kick the spiky black boar, which was twice their size, flying. The spiky black boar raised all the sharp quills on its body and charged at the red deer herd, using its quills to tear the red deer's flesh.

In an instant, the area next to the water source became a battlefield, with both sides fighting fiercely, their howls and cries filling the air, and casualties soon appeared.

Faced with this brawl, Yunxi didn't rush forward. Although it was a pure physical fight, both groups had fourth-tier leaders. She was sure that as soon as she showed herself, the two sides would immediately join forces to attack her.

The brawl lasted for nearly 30 minutes, ending in victory for the spiky black boars, who had the advantage in size. After the leader gave a neigh, the red deer galloped into the dense forest and disappeared from sight in a moment.

After the deer left, Yunxi slowly approached the open space in front of the water source and pocketed the two deer that had been stabbed to death with a flick of her sleeve.

Yunxi's action startled the leader of the spiky black boars. His fierce eyes immediately turned to Yunxi, and his quills stood up again.

Just as Yunxi was preparing for a fight, Ape Six slowly emerged from the shadows, instantly silencing the leading spiky black boar. The boar grunted twice at Ape Six and then led its tribe away, leaving behind the corpses of its kin.

Seeing that she didn't need to lift a finger, Yunxi smiled and collected all the carcasses of the deer and spiky black boars from the ground. She then turned and said with a grin:
"We're in for a treat tonight; we can give Bai Tong a taste of something new."

Just as she was about to leave the water source to find a safe place to process today's harvest, she caught a glimpse of a red object floating in the water, drifting towards them from upstream.

The next moment, Yunxi's eyes narrowed, and she used her immortal energy to pull the red figure out of the water.

Yuan Wu, carrying Bai Tong and the others, came closer and asked curiously:

"Isn't that the Three-Tailed Red Squirrel? What's he doing here?"

Yunxi scanned the other party with her divine sense and knew that he was seriously injured and had a weak breath. He probably wouldn't last much longer.

　Goodnight, my darlings~
