However, after the orange tree, they found something amazing.

bamboo.

Isn't that absurd?

Upon seeing the bamboo forest ahead, Dongyun couldn't help but laugh—not a happy laugh, but a laugh that sounded like she was about to collapse.

They killed a dangerous leopard, discovered vitamin-rich oranges, and now they've come across bamboo, a versatile plant for survival in the wild. Their luck couldn't be better, but they just haven't found a plant that can cure malaria.

There are no cinchona trees, no chinaberry trees, and no croton seeds.

Is it really impossible to find? Are there really no plants on Earth that can cure malaria? Does he absolutely have to build a mud hut and obtain the "Rainforest Herbalist's Guide"?

Shinonome is going crazy.

By the time he finished building the mud house and got the "Rainforest Herb Guide," Rin-chan would have already collapsed and died.

Xiao Jia said she doesn't know the Impure World Reincarnation technique, so it's impossible for Rin to win the revival match.

"Let's go, let's go in another direction."

Dongyun pointed in another direction and said.

He could only console himself that he had encountered the orange tree and the bamboo forest, so the cinchona tree shouldn't be far behind.

It's unlikely there are cinchona trees or other plants that treat malaria in the bamboo forest, because bamboo inhibits the growth of other plants. So, to avoid wasting time, they changed direction and continued exploring the jungle.

"Um"

Kagamihara Nadeshiko nodded.

The sweltering air and annoying mosquitoes in the rainforest left her feeling listless.

However, upon seeing the bamboo forest, she still asked with great interest, "Xiaoyun, do you think there might be giant pandas in the bamboo forest?"

"I hope not."

Dongyun said without even thinking.

"Huh? Why? Pandas are so cute!" Kagamihara Nadeshiko's eyes widened in disbelief. "Kumo, don't you like pandas?"

"I like them, but don't let their cute appearance fool you, they are still bears. Wild pandas may not be as dangerous as other bears, but they can still attack people, and they are quite capable fighters."

Dongyun emphasized this very seriously.

No decent person wants to encounter a giant panda in the wild. If they did, and the panda showed signs of aggression, he and Nadeshiko would be in grave danger.

"Is that right?"

Nadeshiko Kagamihara has a serious stereotype about giant pandas, and she finds it hard to imagine that the cute pandas would attack people.

"That's how it is, meow."

Dongyun pinched his throat and imitated the Japanese version of Meowth's voice from Pokémon.

The sun shone brightly as usual, and the two chatted as they explored the dangerous jungle.

As the terrain rises higher and the density of the forest decreases, they are often exposed to sunlight filtering through the leaves.

"So hot."

Dongyun wiped the sweat from his face, clearly aware that the precious salt in his and Nadeshiko's bodies was being rapidly lost.

This is terrible. If this continues, will he have the energy to continue exploring the jungle tomorrow? The salt in the dried meat strips alone won't be enough.

"I'm so hot too," said Kagamihara Nadeshiko, sticking out her tongue. "I want to get a haircut."

"If you want to cut it, I'll cut it for you when we get back. A machete should be able to cut it, and you can even make things out of the cut hair."

Shinonome glanced at Kagamihara Nadeshiko's long pink hair; it could probably be woven into a small blanket.

"Okay~!"

Kagamihara Nadeshiko lazily agreed.

The heat and fatigue made her feel sleepy.

Dongyun felt the same way; his head was spinning, which told him he couldn't walk any further and needed to rest. The best thing to do was to rest by the river and wash his face to clear his head.

Just then, a comment popped up, which cheered him up.

[Hey host, isn't that flowering tree to your left a cinchona tree? It looks a bit like one.]

Cinchona tree!

Dongyun immediately looked to his left and, as the comments said, saw a small tree with tiny white flowers.

He called out to Nadeshiko and quickly walked towards the sapling.

Upon closer inspection, he could clearly see the features of the sapling.

The bark is grayish-brown, relatively thin, with many shallow cracks; the young branches are 4-angled and covered with short brown hairs; the leaves are oblong.

It's a cinchona tree!

Dongyun confirmed that it was a cinchona tree, and viewers who recognized cinchona trees in the comments also confirmed that it was a cinchona tree.

To his even greater surprise, there was more than one cinchona tree; several others were nearby. The bark of the cinchona tree can not only treat malaria but also be used to reduce fever, so naturally, the more trees the better.

"Nadeshiko, we've found her!"

Dongyun turned to look at Nadeshiko, her tone full of excitement.

Great! They've finally found cinchona trees, and not just one. They no longer have to worry about not having medicine for malaria.

"Huh? Did you find it?!"

Right behind Shinonome, Kagamihara Nadeshiko exclaimed with delight, pointing to the tree in front of him and asking, "Is this a cinchona tree?"

"Ok!"

Dongyun nodded heavily.

He couldn't wait to take out his stone knife and start cutting the bark.

The bark of the cinchona tree can regenerate, and the new bark contains a higher concentration of the alkaloid quinine than the old bark.

Although the regeneration of cinchona bark has its limits, even if someone comes to peel the bark as soon as it grows new bark, it will take two to three years to kill the cinchona tree and prevent it from growing any more bark.

He could peel the bark from a cinchona tree for two or three years. There were seven cinchona trees here, not to mention there might be more nearby. He could peel the bark for at least fourteen years. And he believed that the quinine made from that bark would be more than enough for him, Nadeshiko, and Rin to last until they died.

As for Xiao Jia, she's an angel; who knows how long she'll live?

【Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! 】

[Great! Shima Rin is saved!]

Is this a cinchona tree? I've never seen one before.

Nature is truly amazing; some insect-borne diseases can be treated with plants.

We finally found it! We can go back now, that's great! I was so scared if we hadn't gone back.

These past two days have been incredibly tough, especially yesterday. Half of the trending topics on Weibo were about Yunye and Fuzi encountering and killing the leopard.

[Aren't there several trending topics about Master Yun on Weibo today?]

Do you think a certain procrastinator will include Yun Ge in the "hardcore ruthless person" series?

[Are you sure you'll do a good job?]

[There's too little content, it'll be hard to make. Wait until Rainbow Dash pokes out that big eye in the sky, then it'll definitely be a hit with hardcore gamers.]

Are you sure you're not just blasting out that eye in the sky, but a hardcore ruthless person? Is it a person? Is it a person? Is it a person?

Congratulations! You've found the tree!

The audience was excited and happy, just like the comments on a live stream, as they watched the cinchona tree bark being collected by Dongyun.

They were worried not only that Shima Rin would die of an incurable disease, but also that Shinonome and Nadeshiko might encounter danger and die in the jungle. Now that they had found the cinchona bark, they could finally return to the relatively safe bay, which was wonderful.

Moreover, a blood moon appeared last night, and they, including Shinonome and Nadeshiko, were very worried about the safety of Kaori and Rin-chan in the bay.

As long as they return safely, and Xiaojia and Linjiang are also safe, they can probably build houses peacefully in the bay for a long time afterward, without experiencing anything that terrifies them again.

Although the scene of them killing the leopard looks exciting, not all viewers of animation are young people. There are middle-aged and elderly people as well, and even some young people cannot stand the live broadcast of someone dying.

Chapter 98 Black Insects

The black insects all died.

Gabriel poked at them with a stick to make sure all the black insects were dead.

With anticipation in her heart, the girl extended her right index finger and gently touched the black worm. She sensed a faint magical power within the black worm's body.

really.

These strange creatures are not normal creatures, but magical creatures.

Without hesitation, Gabriel immediately used the magic power within the black worm's body to restore her own magical power.
