Chapter 87 The Forest
In the forest outside the ruins of the city, Makino went deep, cutting off the complicated plants in front of him with a black knife.

This process is very boring, and he can't afford to lose weight from this gift of nature.

Since the fall of the strange fog and the humans retreated to defend the siege, the world outside the wall, except for some urban ruins, has already restored its natural scenery.

The trees in the forest are surprisingly tall and dense.

Makino's Iron Body has reached level five, and ordinary swords can't hurt him at all.

But even so, Makino became irritable under the constant attack of the fluffy leaves and spiky branches around him, as well as various mosquitoes.

Last night, she declined Li Henshui's invitation to sleep in the car, and Muye stayed on the roof of the car all night to watch over her.

Although there were twenty scout robots guarding the station, Makino was still worried.

With his current physique, going without sleep for a day or two will not affect his physical strength.

"When will we find it?" Muye turned to look at Li Henshui who was following him.

Li Henshui fanned away the mosquitoes hovering in front of her eyes with his hands, looked at Makino's flushed cheeks and said helplessly, "If you don't sleep all night, your body will quickly secrete thyroid hormone. Do you feel very irritable?"

"No." Makino shook his face.

"It didn't happen overnight." Li Henshui glanced around, and looked in front of Muye: "There is a snake ring fruit in the direction of two o'clock ahead."

Makino heard the words and looked in the direction of two o'clock, and there was indeed a small tree half a person's height covered by dense weeds.

"Wait a minute." Makino didn't want Li Henshui to react, he stepped forward vigorously and swept the black knife in his hand, chopping down the weeds blocking the way.

Not long after, Makino ran back with a small tree half a person's height in his arms.

"Is it worth it?" Muye asked Li Henshui, holding the snake ring tree and staring at Li Henshui with piercing eyes.

The corner of Li Henshui's mouth twitched, he tore off a leaf of the snake ring tree, and looked at the pattern of the snake ring leaf: "This snake ring tree is less than a hundred years old and with three fruits, the estimated price is 35."

"Yes, yes." Muye nodded and stuffed the Snake Ring Tree into Li Hen Sailor's hand and asked her to put it in the storage ring.

Li Henshui rolled his eyes and took the snake ring tree and put it into the storage ring: "This is the No. 30 two medicinal herbs you dug since you set off in the morning. Those who didn't know thought I came here to collect herbs with you."

"It's all money." Makino said embarrassingly, "Not everyone is as rich as you, you have to be considerate of the difficulties of people at the bottom like me, understand?"

"Ah, yes, yes." Li Henshui had a perfunctory look on his face. This kind of dialogue has been repeated many times today.

But after all, Makino and her were traveling much faster than the other teams scattered in the forest, so she didn't mind Makino's time-wasting behavior of collecting herbs.

"Come up." Seeing Li Henshui put away the snake ring tree, Muye bent down quickly.

Li Henshui looked at Muye's slightly thin back, and lay down on it without any hesitation.

It didn't take long for Muye to move in the morning, and he disliked her walking slowly, so he simply came all the way and carried Li Henshui on his back intermittently.

Feeling the softness on his back, Makino stood up and bumped Li Henshui, who was extraordinarily light in weight, and instantly exerted force under his feet to walk quickly through the forest like a beast.

"Where are you going to gather this afternoon?"

"I'll let the scouting robot guide them towards us." Li Henshui showed a look of enjoyment on her face, and while she was speaking, she kept scanning the surrounding energy fluctuations through her eyes of insight.

Feeling Muye's extremely regular and gentle breathing, Li Henshui felt that Muye seemed to have endless physical strength.

From morning to now, Makino has been carrying him on his back at a speed of more than [-] yards for half a day, and has hardly rested except every time he stops to rest and collect herbs.

As if thinking of something, Li Henshui leaned close to Muye's ear and asked, "Don't you stop every time to let me find herbs for you?"

"Ah?" Makino was stunned, and he quickly denied, "How is it possible, I don't know these herbs."

"But I know it." Li Henshui caught a glimpse of the corner of Muye's slightly raised mouth, but he didn't know what was going on.

As if Li Henshui had seen through his purpose and was embarrassed to stop, Muye ran for a full twenty minutes this time.

The trees in sight began to thin out gradually, the sunlight was no longer blocked by the dense leaves, and scattered shadows fell among the trees.

"There seems to be a river ahead." Muye suddenly stopped and raised his chin to signal Li Henshui to look forward.

"I see." Li Henshui's voice was erratic, and after observing with her insightful eyes, she shook her head: "It's not here."

"It's okay, and it's impossible to find it all at once with such good luck." Mu Ye said, stepping out of the woods behind him with Li Henshui on his back.

Stepping on the gravel by the river, Mu Ye put down Li Henshui behind him, turned his head and said, "Take a break?"

"There are no herbs here." Li Henshui looked at Muye speechlessly.

"Hush!" Makino put his hands on his lips to signal Li Henshui to keep quiet.

And he walked towards the riverside like a normal person, Li Henshui opened his mouth looking at Muye's figure, wanting to remind Muye that there is something strange in the river.

Walking to the river, Makino took off the mask on his face.

Looking at the handsome face reflected in the clear river water, Makino smiled and slowly squatted down to pick up a handful of river water and smell it.

A strong grassy smell made him unable to take a breath.

With a sound of "Wow!", the Hehe River in front of Makino suddenly burst into a splash of water.

A gust of fishy wind hit his face, Makino raised his eyes and looked at the unidentifiable giant leaping out of the river, and it bit him violently with a huge mouth big enough to swallow an adult.

Without any fear, Makino lifted his foot and jumped away.

"boom!"

A dark green crocodile covered in scales swooped out of the river and landed where Makino was just now.

Makino looked at this imposing crocodile, at least five meters long, with a smile unconsciously on its face.

Since he entered the forest in the morning, he could encounter all kinds of snakes and insects from time to time, but he did not encounter any mutated beasts.

The difference between alien species and mutated beasts is that alien species are as chaotic and manic as if polluted by dirty things. Most of them are full of stench. Except for a few external organs that can be used as materials for some weapons, other parts of the body are worthless, and even eat them The flesh and blood of human beings will also be assimilated and polluted.

Mutated beasts are beasts that have evolved by absorbing spiritual energy. Their meat can be eaten, and they can also absorb the spiritual energy contained in the flesh by eating the flesh and blood of mutant beasts.

Seeing the mutated crocodile that had completely crawled out of the river, Makino began to run around the river.

A real hunter often appears as a prey, and this wave of crocodile skins will make him look like he came for nothing.
