As the strong airflow blew past her ears, Liu Mingyu slowly opened her eyes after a few seconds.
Yang Cheng was looking at her with a smile. That smirk on his face made her want to take a bite out of him.
"Are you still afraid?" Yang Cheng shouted loudly. Because during the fall, his voice would be quickly scattered by the airflow.
Liu Mingyu carefully raised her head and looked down at the ground that was gradually approaching the two of them. She felt a lingering fear, but at the same time, she felt quite excited.
The grassland, which was a mixture of withered yellow and green, and some lonely little rivers in the distance, as well as the protruding rocky hills, made the entire field of vision seem especially wide.
"It's magnificent …" Liu Mingyu murmured. If it wasn't for Yang Cheng's strong hearing, he wouldn't have heard it at all.
This was indeed a kind of natural beauty that couldn't be seen in tourist attractions. However, Yang Cheng was also very clear that ordinary people who came to such a place would only have a slim chance of survival.
As the parachute landed, the hot and humid temperature on the ground swept over them.
Not far away, Hsiao Chih-ching was the first to reach the land. After throwing down the parachute bag, she ran over with a frown and said, "If I had known earlier, I would have brought some sunscreen. My skin will definitely peel from the sun."
For the convenience of walking, among the three of them, only Yang Cheng carried a heavy backpack to carry some drinking water and wild food. Although the two women carried bags, they were empty. They planned to use them to store some alchemy materials in case they found them.
Liu Mingyu also found it difficult to adapt. She subconsciously circulated a trace of True Qi in her body, and finally felt a little better.
After Yang Cheng noticed it, he immediately said, "Mingyu, don't use too much True Qi. Your cultivation is still not high. If you use your precious True Qi to lower your temperature, your body will quickly weaken. We won't leave in an hour or two. We may need to walk here for a week or two to find the materials. "
Hearing this, Liu Mingyu felt helpless, but she could only obediently stop circulating her True Qi.
In fact, the reason why Yang Cheng said this was to let Liu Mingyu's body get sufficient training. Relying on True Qi to walk was ultimately lazy. If she could use her body to search for the materials, it would be very obvious to Liu Mingyu's body.
To enter the Xiantian Realm, strengthening the body was also an essential element. For example, Cai Ning and Qiangwei had practiced martial arts since they were young, so they didn't have any obstacles in this aspect. Their tendons were extremely tough. The other women needed a period of training.
Yang Cheng then asked the two women to wait, and ran over to get Hsiao Chih-ching's parachute.
After that, he went over and placed the two parachutes on the grassland.
"Yang Cheng, what are you doing?" asked Hsiao Chih-ching curiously.
Yang Cheng dusted off the dirt on his hands. "I'm making a mark for the plane to see. It'll also help us remember our starting point. After all, we didn't bring any communication devices this time. It'll be troublesome if we have to tell the plane the exact coordinates, so it's more convenient to fix a point."
Since they had come in a hurry, Yang Cheng didn't think it was necessary, so he didn't prepare any special communication devices. As for normal phones, not to mention the problem of battery, they might not even have a signal.
Yang Cheng wasn't sure if they could find the materials, or how much they could find. If they found a lot, it would be better to send a plane to transport them.
"Where are we going?" asked Liu Mingyu, wiping the sweat on her forehead.
Yang Cheng looked at the sun, then at the time. After confirming the direction, he said, "We're deep in Arnhem, so let's go north. More than eighty percent of Australia's people live along the coast. If we can't find any materials along the way, we'll just treat it as an inland tour. "
"How is this a tour? We've only been standing here for a while and we're already sweating. It's so sticky and stuffy," complained Liu Mingyu.
Although she wasn't the daughter of a rich family, she did grow up in the city. It was hard for Liu Mingyu to accept such a desolate place.
Yang Cheng pinched the woman's cheek with a smile. He then looked at Hsiao Chih-ching, whose face was also slightly red from the sun. "Let's go. Let me know if you find anything. I don't know which materials can be used to refine pills."
When Hsiao Chih-ching saw how intimate Yang Cheng was with Liu Mingyu, a hint of envy flashed across her eyes. She pursed her lips into a smile and nodded.
It was easy for Hsiao Chih-ching to figure out the reason why he suddenly asked Liu Mingyu to tag along. However, she wasn't in any position to say anything, so she could only accept it.
Fortunately, although Liu Mingyu found out from Lin Ruoxi why she was asked to tag along, she didn't do anything to contradict her.
Of course, the two women weren't familiar with each other, and they both had their own agendas. It was inevitable that they were a little off when they chatted.
Yang Cheng saw it, but he didn't take it to heart. As long as it wasn't too intense, there was no need for him to get involved in women's affairs.
However, he still had to keep his distance from Hsiao Chih-ching, so that Liu Mingyu wouldn't feel embarrassed, and it would be hard to explain to Lin Ruoxi when they got back.
Arnhem absorbed a lot of heat in the afternoon, turning it into a huge steamer.
There were more rivers and shallow lakes everywhere, as well as some tropical trees, making the place even more humid.
Hsiao Chih-ching kept wiping her sweat. She was a little uncomfortable, but she still stopped every time she came across a plant that looked similar. Yang Cheng was impressed by this. This woman looked delicate, but she was very determined.
Liu Mingyu felt better after cultivating. Along the way, she saw that Hsiao Chih-ching was behaving herself and tried her best to find her. Her impression of her changed slightly.
When it was almost evening, the three of them arrived at the foot of a small rock. Yang Cheng asked the two women to take a seat and rest.
He took out two bottles of water from his backpack and gave them to Liu Mingyu and Hsiao Chih-ching.
Liu Mingyu drank two mouthfuls of water to relieve her dry throat. Seeing that Yang Cheng wasn't drinking, she handed her bottle over. "Yang Cheng, why aren't you drinking? Here you go. "
Yang Cheng pushed it back and smiled. "I'm not trying to save water for you. With my cultivation, I can control the water in my body freely. I don't need to drink too much.
Your bodies are still at the level of a normal human. If you can't drink a gallon of water a day, you'll suffer from heatstroke. "
Hsiao Chih-ching panted and smiled. "You make it sound like you're not human."
"Hey, why are you cursing?" Yang Cheng raised an eyebrow.
The two women burst into laughter, and the atmosphere became more harmonious.
After resting for a while, Yang Cheng got up and said, "Let's go a little further. The rivers are a little dense here. Let's find a dry place to spend the night."
Liu Mingyu asked curiously, "Why do we need to find a dry place? Isn't the river good? It's more convenient to get water. "
"Don't think too highly of the rivers here." Yang Cheng said, "In Arnhem, the real rulers are over a hundred thousand estuarine crocodiles. These crocodiles are carnivorous. The larger ones can eat more than one meal. They can swallow you whole with just one mouth."
Hearing that, the two women trembled and got up immediately.
Yang Cheng smiled. "Although you don't have to worry about your safety with me around, I don't want to be on guard against crocodiles all the time. Besides, places with abundant water have many mosquitoes, snakes, and scorpions.
There are twenty-one of the twenty-five most venomous snakes in the world in Australia. I've been observing the land along the way. Don't be careless. "
Hsiao Chih-ching gulped and asked, "Yang Cheng, why do you seem to know everything?"
Liu Mingyu also nodded in confusion. She found it quite amazing that the guy who only knew how to play games and doze off in the company was actually knowledgeable about science other than fighting.
Yang Cheng was a little annoyed by the way the women looked at him. He said helplessly, "It's not a big deal. You don't know how I've survived since I was young. There are many places that are harsher than this. When I was thirteen, I could already survive alone in the snowy Siberian mountains for more than a month. I don't lose to anyone when it comes to survival.
Knowing most of the animals and plants in the world, understanding their conditions, and learning how to use them to survive is a compulsory course. Besides, I have a photographic memory, so it's not a problem for me.
It's a pity that I don't know which plants are medicinal ingredients, and their names must be different from the scientific names. Otherwise, it would be much faster for me to come here alone. "
While explaining to the two women, Yang Cheng asked them to carry their backpacks and continue their journey north.
Liu Mingyu was a little scared when she heard that they would be sleeping outdoors for a few days. "Yang Cheng, can't you fly us? Why don't you find the nearest city to stay?"
Yang Cheng shrugged. "You'll have to ask Zhiqing about that."
Hsiao Chih-ching explained, "Some medicinal ingredients can't be found during the day, such as those that have a unique luster. Some only show their special appearance in the morning and shrink back after sunrise. It's precisely because these elixirs can't be found at any time that they're particularly difficult to find. If we have to spend time going back and forth, the chances of finding them will be even lower … "
As they were talking, Hsiao Chih-ching suddenly let out a soft "eh?" Her eyes locked on the direction of a small river in front of them. Gradually, a glimmer of light appeared in her eyes.
