I've already reached the Nascent Soul stage, and you're saying I didn't time travel?

Chapter 11 Heading West

"That's right, your streamer, I'm back!"

At 1 p.m., the energetic Qi Xuan began his second live broadcast of the day.

During his lunch break, he didn't waste any time. Instead, he observed the surrounding environment and confirmed the route ahead, so that he had a general idea of ​​what to do.

At that moment, he took the thin branch and continued forward.

"As you can see, the grass here is very lush. Be careful when walking in it to prevent any poisonous snakes or insects from jumping out. You might not even have time to react."

As they were talking, Qi Xuan suddenly noticed four or five dark purple gourds lying under the grass on his right. His face lit up with joy, and he quickly reached out and picked them.

"This is a very typical grass gourd. After you cut it open, you can eat the pulp inside. After eating it, you can scrape it clean. The outer shell can also be used as a water ladle to hold or store water."

Qi Xuan tapped the gourds together, producing a crisp, thumping sound that sounded very hard.

He held his palm upright like a knife and chopped down at the junction of the gourd and the top and bottom of the gourd.

With a crisp "crack," the gourd was split in two on the spot.

Seeing this, netizens were all shocked:
"Holy crap, is the streamer that strong?"

"This is a gourd! How could it be split in two with a single palm strike?"

“We usually use a knife or handsaw to cut it; cutting it by hand is too outrageous.”

"Maybe this grass gourd the streamer is different from the gourds we usually encounter, with a thinner skin, making it easier to cut?"

"Thin skin? Easy to cut? If you had just taken a closer look at the thick skin at the cut, you would have found it much better."

……

Qi Xuan calmly adjusted the camera angle, but when the image focused on the gourd, his expression immediately twisted, and he began to rub his reddened right hand violently.

Damn, that hurts so much!
How can this grass gourd be so hard?!
While rubbing his hands together, he introduced the various characteristics of the grass gourd to the live stream audience. Finally, after he had recovered enough, he squatted down and ate all the pulp inside, while keeping the remaining gourd shell.

Along the way, he successively harvested ox-tooth grass, which can repel mosquitoes and insects; Luohuan grass, which can be used to weave and catch insects; and gray-headed amaranth, which is edible. He greatly broadened the horizons of the netizens on Blue Star. As for the official exploration teams from various countries, they all took notes very seriously.

"This is a ground snail tree, which is very similar to the compass tree on Earth. The arrangement of its leaves can be used to indicate direction, replacing the compass for navigation in the wild."

"Hmm, looking at this direction, we've been heading west without veering off course. We don't know what lies at the western end, but hopefully we'll encounter some local natives, so I can at least learn what this world is really like."

Not far ahead, a complete embankment suddenly came into view, stretching endlessly to the left and right, cut as if by a knife, with an extremely steep slope and a drop of about six or seven meters.

Upon seeing the steep slope, netizens immediately began discussing it:
"It looks like we have to stop here."

"Should we jump?"

"Wouldn't you break your head if you jumped from that height?"

"Honestly, even breaking your leg would be a huge crisis. Don't forget we're in the wild."

"Let's take a detour; we should be able to get there that way."

“How long would it take to take a detour? In my opinion, we might as well cut down the trees. Once the trees fall, they will become a natural road and bridge.”

"What do you mean by cutting down trees? Does the streamer even have an axe? If he doesn't have an axe, when will he ever be able to knock the tree down? If he had that much time, he would have already walked around it."

“We’ve got the vines ready. Just pull out a few vines, weave them together, tie them to a tree, and let them hang down. That should be the simplest way.”

……

Qi Xuan couldn't see the netizens' suggestions, but even if he had, he wouldn't have cared, because he hadn't taken the steep slope seriously from the beginning.

He has a simpler and more direct way of going downhill.

Qi Xuan stood in front of the broken slope and looked around. Then he retreated more than ten meters, then suddenly accelerated. When he stepped onto the broken slope, he leaped up, like an eagle taking flight. He drew a parabola in mid-air and landed steadily in a thick grass. He rolled forward a few times to dissipate the force and finally stood up straight.

Upon seeing this swift and decisive scene, the live stream room fell silent.

Immediately, a dense barrage of comments flooded in: "Holy crap! What did I just see?"

"You can jump from that high?"

"Did the streamer accidentally turn off the gravity switch?"

"Referee! He cheated! He cheated!"

"Knee: Don't mention it, I wasn't involved in this performance."

"About My Reincarnation as a Parkour Racer"

"My cat has fallen off the sofa before, and you call that human?"

……

Leaving aside how excited the netizens on Blue Star were, Qi Xuan didn't take it seriously.

The reason is simple: he can't see the comments.

Otherwise, if he saw the praise from netizens, he wouldn't be able to do anything else today; he would just keep jumping around like this a dozen times.

After stretching his ankles and waiting for the tingling sensation in his feet to subside, Qi Xuan continued walking forward.

He hadn't gone far when he suddenly sniffed and exclaimed in delight:
"I can feel the moisture in the air; if I'm not mistaken, there should be a river ahead."

In my excitement, I moved faster.

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks, and his right hand shot out like lightning.

After the viewers in the live stream realized what was happening, they saw that he was holding a green insect about the size of a thumb in his hand, with sharp mouthparts that looked like silver needles.

"This thing is a poisonous insect called the iron-spining beetle. Its needle-like mouthparts are highly venomous and extremely sharp. Once stung, even an adult will die on the spot within two minutes, and there will be no time to save them."

As he spoke, Qi Xuan couldn't help but swallow again:
"However, although this iron beetle is poisonous, it looks delicious. Such rich protein is not commonly found in the forest."

He twisted off the iron beetle's head, pulled out its digestive organs, removed its tail, and tossed it into his mouth to chew, frowning as he did so.
"It's not quite fully evolved yet; it tastes a bit sour."

"Negative review."

Upon hearing this, netizens couldn't hold back any longer:

"Spiky Bug: Did I evolve just so you could eat me?"

"The streamer's mouth is more powerful than insecticide."

"Two-minute death vs. two-minute plate."

"An insect buffet, huh?"

"I suggest dipping it in some mustard to reduce the acidity."

……

After replenishing his protein intake, Qi Xuan said very seriously:
"Spirit worms generally live near damp waters and swamps. Since they have appeared here, there is a high probability that there is a river ahead."

"If there really is a river, then searching along the riverbank will likely lead to encountering local natives, or at the very least, it will allow us to escape this forest."

"This might be the first step in us seeing the true face of this world!"

Qi Xuan continued forward.

Netizens on Earth were on tenterhooks, and even official exploration teams from various countries were closely watching the live stream, waiting for that crucial moment to arrive.

Then, an extremely shocking scene suddenly burst into everyone's view.
