Chapter 289
It took only a few minutes for the three of them to eat the cooked fish until only the bones remained.

After eating, they didn't dare to linger, put out the fire, and directly carried the twigs tied with ropes, took the raw fish, and walked into the forest.

Sure enough, not long after they left, a pack of wolves surrounded the fire where they were grilling fish.

Just like what Bai Ruoxi said, if they weren't running fast, they would probably be having fun right now.

"Hey, you said, we ate so quickly and quit without taking a breath. Is there really an animal that can smell the smell and find it?" No. 6 asked them both while carrying the branch on his back, panting.

"If you don't believe it, or if you're more interested, you can go back and have a look. Anyway, I dare not go back without saying anything." Bai Ruoxi shook her head and said jokingly.

At critical moments, it's okay to admit cowardice.

"I'm not going. If I get lucky, I don't want to die so soon." Hearing Bai Ruoxi's words, No. 6 quickly shook his head and said.

She has already admitted that he is not good at being a hero. You must know that those who are usually the ones who die first are those who are brave.

Those who can be drowned by water are not only those who can swim.

The weather here is different from the outside. If the weather suddenly changes, it will be very unfavorable to our current situation. Instead of looking for a source of fresh water, let's find a place that can shelter from the wind and rain.

Bai Ruoxi looked up at the sky, and then at the things near the forest.

It's not impossible to make one yourself.

It's just that it takes more than a short while. If the framework is not done well, it is estimated that the sky will be completely dark.

It's better during the day, and the animals don't come out much.

At night, it is the best time for animals to forage, and this forest is their natural slaughterhouse.

So right now, it's better to find a place like a natural cave and avoid it.

"Why don't we look for it separately?" No. 7 looked at Bai Ruoxi and suggested.

What one person sees is incomparable to what three people see.

"No, we can find it later, but don't separate." Bai Ruoxi shook her head and refused.

She wasn't afraid that her own life would be in danger after being separated from them.

Since these two people came here with her, they were quite obedient, so she couldn't watch what happened to them here.

"Okay, listen to you, but we must have a direction, otherwise the forest is so big, we won't be able to find it until tomorrow." No. 7 nodded.

"Well, go to a place with hills, or a big tree, or an empty tree hole, but you must be careful when looking at it. In case it is home to something, it is convenient for us to withdraw."

After thinking about it, Bai Ruoxi gave a purposeful suggestion and direction.

"Okay, it's much easier this way." Number 7 said with a smile.

Together, the three of them looked at the hollows of several hundred-year-old trees, but as Bai Ruoxi said, there were living creatures inside, either social animals or snakes.

One of them was a very thick boa constrictor, luckily the boa constrictor was sleeping and they didn't bother it.

Frightened, they ran a long way.

In the end, it was decided that it would be more reliable to find some naturally formed caves.

On a relatively high hill, they chose a natural tree hole with a small entrance but a large space.

There are blue vines surrounding the entrance of the cave. In this forest, it can be said to be very well hidden.

After No. 6 went in, it was confirmed that there was nothing else inside and it was safe, and then they took the things inside one by one.

After entering, Bai Ruoxi took twigs and piled up some twigs at the entrance of the cave, and then lit a fire not far from the cave entrance.

Ordinary animals are afraid of fire and will not take the initiative to approach it. Moreover, she has regularly spread some fragile twigs on the ground. Once something comes over, there will be movement, and the night watchman will definitely wake up completely.

"It's getting dark, are you hungry? Do you want to grill some more fish?" In the cave, Bai Ruoxi sat on the ground, looking at the two of them and asked.

"I'm not hungry, let's bake the fish until tomorrow morning." The two shook their heads together.

"Okay, the fish itself is quite salty. If you can find fresh water tomorrow, it will be better to eat it." Bai Ruoxi nodded.

"You two go to bed first. I'll watch in the first half of the night, and you will watch in the second half of the night." Bai Ruoxi looked at the two of them and said calmly.

"Can you really do it alone?" Number 6 asked with a concerned look.

"I don't have the habit of sleeping with other men, don't worry, I can do it myself." Bai Ruoxi glanced at him and said with a smile.

"It's so early, I can't sleep." No. 6 sat down against the rock, talking awkwardly.

"If you can't sleep, you have to sleep. If you can't guarantee the quality of sleep, your actions will become slow tomorrow. We still have a lot to do tomorrow."

Bai Ruoxi put away her smiling face, looking very serious.

"Okay, let's go to sleep. When it's time, you must call us."

"Ah."

In this way, No. 6 and No. 7 forced themselves to close their eyes. Maybe they came here after the assessment today. Because they were too tired, they fell asleep after a while.

Bai Ruoxi glanced at the two sleeping soundly, and let the little thing out.

"Master, didn't you promise not to use spiritual power?" The little fox came out of the space, squatted on the ground, and asked cutely at Bai Ruoxi.

"I agreed, and I didn't go back on my word." Bai Ruoxi said calmly with a smile on her lips.

"Then you..." The little fox scratched his head with his snow-white paws, embarrassed to tell the truth.

"I don't need it, you don't need it without telling me, do you?" Bai Ruoxi raised her eyebrows and asked.

"It seems to be true." The little fox echoed.

"However, I won't cheat, because these places in front are less difficult, I don't want to waste time, and I won't have any accidents here, so if you can pass it quickly, you really need to consider me later. When you have the ability, I will not use spiritual power and will not let you out."

Bai Ruoxi pinched her chin and spoke calmly.

She didn't dare to imagine too much, she didn't dare to think that she would be like the second master and pass it in six months, but at least she had to complete all the purgatory assessments before the new year.

"Well, what does the master need me to do now?" The little fox looked at Bai Ruoxi and asked cleverly.

"You set up a barrier at the entrance of this cave to protect these two people. I'll go in and see if there is a suitable water source." Bai Ruoxi gave it an instruction bluntly.

"Okay, I promise to complete the task, Master, don't worry, there is no danger inside." Xiaohu said happily.

"Okay." Bai Ruoxi reached out and rubbed its head, then walked inside.

After she practiced spiritual power, not only her physical fitness improved, but her hearing and sensitivity also improved by N levels.

She had just clearly heard the sound of water dripping inside the cave. The sound had a slight echo, and it should be the sound of water dripping on the stone.

She walked towards the cave step by step, not forgetting to observe the situation of the cave.

After walking for a while, she reached out her hand to touch the stone wall next to it, and it was so damp that drops of water came out.

It seems that the source of water is not far away, she guessed right, there is definitely a source of water here.

She took a step forward and strode inside.

Finally, I saw a small stream in one place. The sound of water droplets here was very loud and obvious. It was the sound of water droplets condensed on the top and dripping on the rocks below.

Bai Ruoxi walked into the creek and took a look. The water in the creek was clear and bright, and the small fish in it were swimming happily. There were a few rocks at the bottom, which could be seen clearly.

This creek is flowing, which means that the water is very likely to be clean.

She hadn't drank any water for a whole day, and when Bai Ruoxi saw the water, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, a little excited.

She stretched out her right hand and stirred it in the water. The color of the ring remained the same, and there was no tendency to turn black or yellow.

She picked up the water, put it in front of her nose and smelled it, and felt relieved when she found nothing unusual.

She stood up, looked around here, and made sure that there were no other creatures except the small fish, and then she squatted down again and drank water.

After drinking for a while, she felt much more comfortable, and her throat, which was tending to be sore, also improved a bit.

She went out, sat near the entrance of the cave, looked at the little thing and said, "Okay, I'm here, you can go in and sleep too."

"Master, in fact, spirit beasts don't need to sleep. It must be boring for the master to stay here alone. Let me accompany the master." The little fox shook his head and said very righteously.

"Are you sure?" Bai Ruoxi raised her eyebrows and looked at it.

"Yeah, I'm with Master." The little fox ran over and lay down in front of Bai Ruoxi.

"Alright then." Bai Ruoxi smiled, stroking its soft and comfortable fur.

"Master, let me tell you a story." Seeing Bai Ruoxi bored, the little fox said.

"You can tell stories?" Bai Ruoxi looked at it jokingly, a little shocked.

"Of course." The little fox raised his head proudly.

"Then tell me." Bai Ruoxi nodded in agreement.

"a long long time ago……"

The little thing used its soft voice to tell her interesting long-term stories. She listened to the story, closed her eyes, and felt very relaxed and comfortable.

……

I don't know how long it took, the little thing yawned, pushed Bai Ruoxi and said, "Master, master, it's time for shift change."

"Oh." Bai Ruoxi opened her eyes and rubbed her eyes.

She looked at the sleepy and yawning little thing, and couldn't help laughing, "Didn't you say that spirit beasts don't need to sleep?"

"I've been here for a long time, and I'm used to sleeping. In fact, it's really okay if I don't sleep." The little fox's big blue eyes were full of mist, and the innocent brightness before was gone, as if he was about to fall asleep.

"Okay, no matter what, go to the space and go to sleep. I have to wake up those two people. They wake up and see you here. Maybe they are thinking about how to eat you."

Bai Ruoxi rubbed its head and said jokingly.

"Master, you are too bad. They told you stories all night. It's fine if you don't hug and hold me high. You still want to let others bully me."

"Hey... I'm so pitiful..."

The little thing looked at her sadly, coquettishly said to her, and then flashed into the space by himself.

Bai Ruoxi was also very helpless towards a certain magical cute creature, she couldn't laugh or cry, it was only serious for a while, and it would definitely commit crimes.

Bai Ruoxi stepped forward and patted the two men. They seemed to know that they were in an unsafe place, and they didn't sleep very deeply. After Bai Ruoxi patted them, they all woke up.

"It's hard work, we'll watch over it, you go to sleep." The two men stood up from the ground and said to Bai Ruoxi with a smile.

"I was looking for it just now. There is a clean source of fresh water in this cave. I have checked around, and there is no danger inside. You can take turns to drink some water." Bai Ruoxi nodded, then walked a little inside, leaning against a Big Rock sat down.

"Great, there is no end to the road. I found that I am really lucky to follow Xiaobai." No. 6 said with an excited expression on his face when he heard Danshui.

"Well, you go and drink first. After you're done, I'll go instead." No. 7 was obviously excited when he heard Bai Ruoxi's words, but in comparison, he was a little calmer than No. 6.

But the two of them don't regret one thing now, that is, they don't have the heart of a villain, but they rest on Xiaobai, follow Xiaobai all the way, and listen to Xiaobai's words.

Otherwise, I can't tell where they are getting rained. It seems to have rained outside.

Not to mention the source of fresh water, it is already very good not to be followed and attacked by wild animals at night.

So what No. 6 said is right, they are very lucky to follow Xiaobai, and the people of the Nalan family have always been luckier.

"I'm going to sleep first, you can't be lazy, you have to watch over me, otherwise don't wake up, we become some animal's dinner." Bai Ruoxi glanced at the two of them and closed her eyes.

"Don't worry, Xiaobai, the two of us will never sleep." No. 7 smiled and promised.

Six agrees, and heads inside.

The two took turns to drink some water. After drinking the water, the whole person felt comfortable and became more energetic.

Bai Ruoxi soon fell asleep, and the two chatted quietly beside the entrance of the cave, and the time passed without knowing it.

Seeing that it was almost dawn, they lit a fire, took a few fish and grilled them.

When Bai Ruoxi woke up, the sun was already high, she covered the glare with her hand, and then walked out of the cave smelling the smell.

The two people outside saw that Bai Ruoxi had woken up, and waved to her happily, "The fish is almost ready to be grilled, you can come over and eat."

"Yeah." Bai Ruoxi walked over with a smile.

"Xiaobai, do you think it's baked like this, can you eat it?" No. 6 picked up a fish that was skewered with a tree branch, and asked Bai Ruoxi.

"Okay, let's eat." Bai Ruoxi leaned over to smell it, nodded and said.

"The second level of purgatory, how do you pass the test?" Bai Ruoxi asked calmly while eating grilled fish.

"Don't you know?" Number 7 asked strangely.

"There was almost no gap between my passing the last group of training and the assessment on the second floor, so the coach didn't say anything to me, and I was sent here with you."

Bai Ruoxi shrugged and said truthfully.

But judging by the appearance of these two people, the coach should have said something to them.

"If you find the exit, no matter how you leave this isolated island, you will pass the test." No. 6 glanced at No. 7 and said calmly and honestly.

"Well, let's go after eating. It's not an option to stay here all the time. It's impossible to go out and pass the assessment, and there's no guarantee that it's very safe here."

Bai Ruoxi listened to what he said, and said with a smile.

"But it's relatively safe here, and most importantly, there's enough fresh water here." No. 6 looked at the direction of the cave entrance, and said with some reluctance.

"As you said, it is relatively safe, but it is by no means absolutely safe. As for the water source, the small river inside is flowing, which means that this water source is also available in other places.

I'll go in later to see in which direction the water source is flowing, and from which direction it is coming. At that time, we can follow that direction to find a new water source. "

Bai Ruoxi analyzed calmly.

"But we can't take any of the fresh water inside. We don't have anything to hold water. In this forest, we will get thirsty soon." No. 6 sighed helplessly.

"It's okay, I have a good sense of direction, at worst, I'll bring you back to find it later." No. 7 patted No. 6 on the shoulder to comfort him.

"That's the only way. I know what Xiaobai said is right. We can't sit still. Xiaobai, I was a little excited just now. Don't take it to heart." No. 6 nodded.

"It's okay, let's eat quickly. After we finish eating, let's go in and see where the water flows." Bai Ruoxi shook her head indifferently.

 There will be more next month, two days left (?_?)
