The rice cooked with the dew seeds was finally done. Tang Ling cheered and took the pot down. He wanted to use some kind of hard fruit shell to scoop himself a bowl of rice, but Ro Xin stopped him.
"If you're hungry, drink a bowl of hot soup before you eat. If you've been starving for a long time, you'll have to do the same. "
"Why?" Tang Ling scratched his head anxiously.
"You have to take good care of your stomach. A person's strength comes from the details. If a person's stomach isn't healthy, they'll have problems with digestion and absorption. How can you be strong? "Ro Xin rolled her eyes at Tang Ling.
"Use these wild vegetables and these two eggs to make a pot of soup. Drink it first. It's to warm your stomach beforehand. It's like a frozen person can't be thrown into hot water. You have to use a warm towel to wipe your body and warm it up. " Ro Xin took another pot and placed it on the fire. She poured some water into the pot and explained to Tang Ling.
She sounded reasonable. He felt like the girl loved to lecture him when it came to questions related to his profession.
However, Tang Ling did not dislike her lectures.
From her words, he could feel her sincere concern for him.
A pot of wild vegetable egg soup with a little salt was delicious.
The main reason was that the wild vegetables that Ro Xin gathered were crisp, tender, and fragrant.
After drinking it, Tang Ling felt a little warmer, so he started to eat.
A piece of rock that had been heated up by the fire was carefully smeared with the fat of the salted meat. Then, the meat that had been marinated with various fodder and seasonings was placed on top of the rock, and the meat that had been sliced evenly and had been marinated.
With a sizzling sound, it flipped over, and with another sizzling sound, it was cooked.
Tang Ling ate a piece. It was tender, fragrant, and hot. The marinated meat was slightly spicy and a little numb with a little sweetness in the end.
"Delicious!" Tang Ling's eyes shone. He was going to roast the mutated beast that he hunted, but Ro Xin was the one who suggested eating meat with a rock.
Is it worth being so happy about? Looking at Tang Ling's shining eyes, she could not help but smile. "Why don't you try the dew seeds again?"
"Hmm," Tang Ling replied and dug a big mouthful of rice into his mouth. It was soft, grainy, and slightly chewy.
As soon as it entered his mouth, he felt a faint fragrance. When he chewed, there was a faint taste of salt. The more he chewed, the more fragrant the taste was. There was also the occasional crispy texture, which came from the Crispy Fruit.
"Delicious!" Tang Ling gulped down half a bowl of rice and chewed fiercely. His face was pouting like a Milocchio snow hamster.
"Hehe." She chuckled and scooped herself a bowl of dew seeds to boil the meat.
She insisted on going hunting with Tang Ling even though she doubted whether Tang Ling was that all-powerful, single-handedly young man. However, she also knew she could not judge Tang Ling based on this.
During the hunt, Tang Ling's decisiveness and strength were displayed in front of her.
This kind of strength did not come from the fact that he was able to defeat a level 1 mutated beast, but from the precision of his every strike and every punch, as well as the sudden sharpness in his eyes, it was a kind of battle between experts.
Speaking of which, he was really a strange young man.
Tang Ling, on the other hand, did not think too much about it. In his life, food was the only thing that he could not let go of. Eating must be a ritual, and thinking about other things would be a form of blasphemy to good food.
Tang Ling was satisfied with the meal, but he was only satisfied with his appetite.
But it only satisfied the appetite, not the needs of the body. He needed to replenish a large amount of energy every day to maintain a constant growth rate.
With that in mind, he took out a strip of vicious beast jerky without a second thought and cut it into 100 grams of meat jerky.
Based on his current needs, he needed at least 50 grams of vicious beast jerky every day to maintain his growth rate. He was indeed a monster that devoured resources.
"Vicious beast jerky?" Ro Xin looked at Tang Ling in shock, but on second thought, there was no need to be shocked. He was Tang Ling after all.
"You recognize it?" Tang Ling shook the piece of vicious beast jerky.
Until now, Tang Ling only knew that the girl was called Ro Xin. He had no idea where she came from or what she did. Why did she suddenly appear in the Santos Branching Ridge without any human safety zone?
Nevertheless, she seemed to know a lot.
"Of course I recognize it." Ro Xin rolled her eyes at Tang Ling. The Drifter Group that she was in was quite powerful. With their teamwork, they would occasionally hunt down one or two Level 1 vicious beasts.
It was the most important resource of the group and the basic resource to nurture the strongest in the group. How could she not recognize it?
However, she was puzzled. Why would Tang Ling take it out now?
"Do you want some? If you can eat it, I have more with me. "Tang Ling liked Ro Xin a lot. He never minded sharing with people he liked or admired.
Ro Xin did not care. Instead, she took the piece of vicious beast jerky from his hand and carefully inspected it. "Is this Level 3 vicious beast meat?"
She suddenly felt a little pious and cautious.
Once, the group had sacrificed a lot in exchange for a small piece of Level 3 vicious beast meat for a powerhouse to break through.
She knew how precious the vicious beast meat was.
"Mm-hmm." Tang Ling nodded.
"I can't eat it. I can't even eat Level 1 vicious beast meat. "Ro Xin shook her head and returned the piece of vicious beast meat to Tang Ling.
She did not show how touched she was. Tang Ling was going to share the Level 3 vicious beast meat with her?
"That's fine. I'll save the higher-grade mutated beast meat for you in the future. Girls should be strong too. Look at you, your arms don't even have muscles. " As Tang Ling spoke, he measured his arms. They were not bulky, but when they bulged, the bulging muscles were filled with explosive power. Ro Xin was speechless.
She was speechless. It was hard for her to imagine what her muscles looked like.
Did she have to build muscles just to be strong?
Tang Ling did not say anything. He took the piece of vicious beast meat, cut it into thin slices, and wanted to stuff it into his mouth.
"What are you doing?" Ro Xin pulled him back.
"Eating meat." Tang Ling was confused. He thought she was smart, but was she a little silly at times?
"Are you not full?" Tang Ling had eaten at least half of the Level 1 mutated beast that weighed more than a hundred kilograms, which was more than 15 kilograms. There was also half a pot of dew seeds, yet she said she was not full?
"Mm-hmm, those things aren't enough to replenish my energy. If I rely on those things to replenish my energy, I won't even be able to eat 150 kilograms. I'll explode. Besides, the energy is mixed, so a lot of it will be wasted. "Tang Ling looked innocent.
You'll explode? You're not going to explode! Ro Xin was speechless. At the same time, she realized how extravagant Tang Ling was and why he was so powerful.
She snatched the vicious beast meat and said, "You can't waste it like that. You have to mix it with some herbs to maximize its effect."
"You have the recipe?" Tang Ling was surprised. He finally understood the meaning of the vicious beast meat recipe.
Su Siao's notebook also had the recipe, but it could only relieve some pain and aid digestion. It could not increase the digestion rate like the good wood core that Tang Ling got from Kun.
Therefore, Tang Ling did not want to go through the trouble, so he simply swallowed it.
"I do. But I don't have it now. "Ro Xin was a little disappointed. How could Tang Ling swallow the precious Level 3 vicious beast meat just like that?
However, Tang Ling did not care about Ro Xin's bleeding heart. He gobbled down the vicious beast meat and practiced the eating technique that Su Siao had taught him twice without any hesitation.
Tang Ling was getting more and more familiar with the eating technique. He could slightly stimulate his muscles to aid digestion and he could do it twice in a row to slightly increase his digestion rate.
Tang Ling was very satisfied with the result.
The familiar pain came again, but it was almost negligible. Tang Ling told her, "I'm going to start cultivating. Keep an eye on me."
He then added, "After that, help me get the recipe."
Then, he closed his eyes and started the daily cultivation of the Thousand Satin Skill.
"You little bastard! Why are you acting like this?" Frustrated, Ro Xin plucked a bunch of grass and tossed it at Tang Ling. She unconsciously moved closer to him and started to keep an eye on him.
How long would he have to cultivate? Would she have to keep an eye on him throughout the night?
Right after the thought popped up in her mind, she heard Tang Ling moan in pain.
The strange blue venom was acting up again.
It happened every single time.
After a meal or right after Tang Ling entered his cultivation state, the blue venom would act up without any warning.
The excruciating pain engulfed Tang Ling in an instant. He grunted and fell to the ground.
Then, he felt a chill before it turned into a burning pain. Tang Ling instinctively wanted to tear his clothes off.
It was too hot, so hot that it drove him crazy.
However, his body soon lost the ability to move. He could not even unbutton a single button. All he could do was lie on the ground helplessly and gasp for air.
Ro Xin was stunned at first, but she quickly displayed the qualities of a herbalist.
She went up and flipped Tang Ling over. His body was stiff and out of control, and if he lay on the ground, he would have trouble breathing.
She then unbuttoned his shirt and realized with an ugly expression that the strange blue venom on his body started to spread again. It was not slow at all.
Judging from Tang Ling's condition, his body was terrifyingly cold. It was not the burning sensation that he had mentioned.
Ro Xin quickly recalled all the medical knowledge and herbs that she had learned.
At this time, she decisively boiled a pot of hot water and took out a bottle of medicinal powder from her animal skin backpack.
The medicinal powder did not help Tang Ling's condition at all, but it was an all-purpose painkiller.
No matter what kind of pain it was, it had a certain level of effect because the medicinal powder was a numbing powder.
Of course, the numbing powder could ease any kind of pain.
Ro Xin worked quickly and strictly according to the prescribed dosage. She fed Tang Ling a little bit of the numbing powder.
She divided the fire into four parts and moved them around Tang Ling, up, down, left, and right.
Then, she unbuttoned Tang Ling's shirt without a second thought. She tore off a piece of cloth and soaked it in the hot water. She twisted it open and used the hot cloth to rub Tang Ling's body and limbs repeatedly.
A healer's heart was the medical ethics that her grandfather had taught her. During treatment, there was no scruple between a man and a woman. All she cared about was his life.
"It's fine. I might not be able to cure you now, but I have to ease your pain. As long as you can ease the pain, there's nothing to be afraid of.
As long as you can ease the pain, there's nothing to be afraid of. Your willpower won't be defeated by pain anymore. As long as your willpower remains, you will eventually overcome it. "
A few drops of sweat rolled down from the tip of her nose as she comforted and encouraged Tang Ling.
As a matter of fact, given Tang Ling's tenacity, his willpower would never be defeated by such pain.
However, under the light of the fire, Ro Xin's sweaty face gave Tang Ling a strong sense of warmth.
He opened his eyes and somehow felt his body was no longer burning. Instead, he started to feel cold, but there was still a faint warmth enveloping him.
He even felt his body returning to normal as Ro Xin rubbed his limbs. His stiff blood started to flow again.
It was the first time he felt so comfortable after the strange blue poison acted up.
She would feed him a little bit of the powder from time to time and it could ease the pain, which was good enough.
In a blurry state, Tang Ling closed his eyes and allowed Ro Xin to take care of him. Warmth surged in his body as he fell asleep again.
**
The morning breeze and the drizzle caressed Tang Ling's body.
After a dreamless and stress-free sleep, Tang Ling opened his eyes abruptly.
He felt a little heavy on his chest. He lifted his head slightly and realized that Ro Xin was sleeping on his chest. She looked exhausted.
As for himself, he had already put on his clothes and wrapped himself in a black cloak. He had even carefully covered himself with a layer of dried grass that had been roasted by the fire and was still emitting traces of steam.
Tang Ling wanted to get up, but when he saw Ro Xin's tired face, he lay back down.
He decided to let her rest a little more.
Looking at the drizzling sky, Tang Ling had a strange feeling in his heart.
Other than his grandmother, Ro Xin was the first girl to be taken care of by someone else.
"You're awake?" Ro Xin was a light sleeper, so Tang Ling's slight movements woke her up. She looked at Tang Ling with sleepy eyes.
Fortunately, the poison's effect had passed and Tang Ling seemed to be in a good state.
"Thank you." Tang Ling organized a lot of words that he wanted to say to Ro Xin, but when the words came out of his mouth, they turned into two plain words of thanks.
As a matter of fact, since they met yesterday, Tang Ling had thanked Ro Xin a few times.
Ro Xin stood up and washed her face with the leftover cold water from last night. She said, "I'm a herbalist. My biggest wish is to become a branch of science and technology — a medical doctor.
"It's a pity that I lack more information and opportunities for systematic learning." She smiled faintly as if she was relieved. "But since I'm in the Drifter Camp, I have a lot of opportunities to practice, so it's a valuable experience."
"I didn't cure you. I just eased your pain. So, you don't have to thank me. "
Tang Ling kept quiet. He remembered what Ro Xin said. She lacked information and opportunities to learn systematically.
"But I have a clue. I've been thinking about it for a long time last night. You're not poisoned. There's just a powerful energy in your body. I'm almost certain about it, "Ro Xin said.
"Another energy?" Tang Ling was moved. He sat up right away because he knew what Ro Xin said made sense because he knew better than anyone else how he provoked the strange blue poison.
"Yes, another energy, a living energy!" Ro Xin said with certainty, "I have two pieces of news about it. One is good and the other is bad. You don't have to choose. I'll tell you the bad news first. "
