The night passed.
The next morning, the three of them carried their bags. After all, they couldn't leave the herbs behind, so they continued their journey.
Before leaving, Yang Cheng even stuffed a few pieces of charcoal that were burnt last night into the bag.
Seeing this scene, Liu Mingyu couldn't help asking curiously, "Hubby, aren't you tired? Why did you bring the charcoal? Although we don't have food and water, we still have a lighter, so we can start a fire at any time."
Originally, Liu Mingyu wasn't used to calling Yang Cheng so intimately in front of Hsiao Chih-ching, but after last night, Liu Mingyu especially wanted to call him that.
Yang Cheng explained with a smile, "We're not using it to start a fire. It's mainly because the water here isn't clean, and there are many parasites and toxins. We don't have much time to start a fire to boil the water, so we can use charcoal to filter the water and absorb the toxins to prevent too many impurities."
After losing his cultivation, Yang Cheng didn't dare to take too many risks. The blood in his body was still fighting against the toxins, and it would be terrible if something happened to the women's bodies. At that time, he wouldn't be able to treat them.
Liu Mingyu didn't expect Yang Cheng to be so meticulous. She smiled and didn't ask anymore.
Under the sun, Yang Cheng led the two women all the way to the north. But this time, Yang Cheng was helpless to find that he actually began to feel tired and strenuous. Furthermore, his body began to sweat more like the two women.
The hot temperature in the savanna made Yang Cheng finally understand why ordinary people weren't willing to live here. It was like steaming buns!
Liu Mingyu and Hsiao Chih-ching's lips were also a little chapped because of the lack of water and the large amount of sweat, but they were more worried about Yang Cheng's physical condition.
Along the way, there was a lack of water. When they passed by a dried-up river bank, Yang Cheng couldn't care less about the two women's puzzlement. He threw himself on the sand and dug the riverbed with his hands.
After digging more than half a meter deep, the two women were pleasantly surprised to see that there was still water flowing out!
"Usually, in a river bed that has just dried up, there will be water trapped in the sand below, but it's also a matter of luck, and our luck is pretty good …"
The two girls were overjoyed. After all, they just didn't say it out loud. In fact, they were already extremely thirsty.
"Let me help you dig!"
Liu Mingyu rushed to Yang Cheng's side and stretched out her slender hands. Ignoring the mud and filth, she began to dig the hole with all her might.
Hsiao Chih-ching was stunned for a moment, then she pursed her lips into a smile and followed suit, digging out all the mud.
Seeing this, Yang Cheng couldn't help but smile and said, "I don't need your help. I can dig it myself."
Liu Mingyu raised her hand to wipe the sweat off her face. "You've already become an ordinary person, yet you're still pretending to be stunned. If you don't talk more, do you think we'll hurt your pride by helping you?"
"You …" Aiya, I didn't mean that. "Yang Cheng smiled bitterly and said," Baby Mingyu, you've rubbed the mud on your nose. Are you going to apply a facial mask? "
Only then did Liu Mingyu realize that her hands were dirty. She pouted angrily and glared at Yang Cheng, but continued to dig.
Although it was just such a small matter, but for a city beauty like Liu Mingyu, a young lady, to get dirty and dig the mud with him, Yang Cheng could still feel a trace of warmth. This was clearly a woman who didn't want him, who had become an ordinary person, to be too tired.
Although he was aggrieved, Yang Cheng was still willing to turn this kind of affection into motivation.
However, Hsiao Chih-ching also treated him like this, which really made Yang Cheng feel that he couldn't bear it.
When the hole was dug, the water inside continued to gush out.
Liu Mingyu frowned and said, "There's water, but how do we get it up? And it looks so muddy."
"Watch me."
Yang Cheng raised his eyebrows and took out a T-shirt. After sucking up the muddy water from the hole, he squeezed and squeezed the water into the utensils he carried and purified it with charcoal. Finally, there was a relatively clear and drinkable water source.
The two girls didn't expect there to be such a method, and immediately admired Yang Cheng for having so many tricks to survive in the wild.
After drinking enough water and filling up the water bottle they carried, the three of them continued on their way.
After losing his cultivation, Yang Cheng paid special attention to the situation of the grass on the ground. Fortunately, he didn't encounter any danger on the way.
However, they kept on rushing, and when the sun was bright in the afternoon, Hsiao Chih-ching's stomach made a "gulp" sound.
Because there were only the three of them in the vast wilderness, they were immediately overheard.
Yang Cheng turned around and saw that Hsiao Chih-ching had already lowered her head in embarrassment, clutching her stomach and biting her lips.
"Hubby, I'm also very hungry. I didn't eat anything last night, and I've been walking for a long time today." Liu Mingyu said.
Hsiao Chih-ching felt embarrassed, but when she heard Liu Mingyu say that, she knew that she was taking care of her feelings, so she couldn't help but look at her gratefully.
Liu Mingyu's impression of Hsiao Chih-ching had also changed a lot. She didn't think that this girl was a vixen who only wanted to hook up with Yang Cheng.
After all, a fox spirit wouldn't try to stop her when it was so dangerous last night. It would have been more appropriate for her to run away by herself.
And now, she was still trying so hard to go through hardships together. Moreover, regarding Yang Cheng losing his cultivation, Hsiao Chih-ching was only sad, and didn't have any feelings of disgust.
As a woman, Liu Mingyu could see that this girl was sincerely thinking for Yang Cheng.
Although she felt uncomfortable, Liu Mingyu was still willing to believe that this was a kind girl who could be friendly with.
Yang Cheng nodded. Although his body had become like an ordinary person's, he still had a relatively strong hunger tolerance and other qualities. He neglected the fact that the two girls' stamina wouldn't be able to keep up.
Indeed, if they kept walking and only drank water without replenishing their calories, they would eventually run out of energy.
Looking left and right, he didn't find any prey that could be eaten. When his gaze fell on a tree with gray bark growing at the edge of a pile of rocks, Yang Cheng's gaze paused.
"Follow me." Yang Cheng waved his hand and ran to the tree.
He saw that there were many green fruits growing on the tree.
Yang Cheng climbed up the tree fork and plucked the fruits one by one. "Look, this is a wild fig. The leaves are oval and there's fluff at the bottom to retain moisture.
The whole fig can be eaten with the skin on. Although it doesn't look delicious, you guys have to put up with it and replenish your vitamin C. Let's walk a bit more, I'll see if I can find any food. "
At this time, their stomachs were rumbling, and the two girls didn't care how sour the fruits were. They bit down on three or four of them. If it wasn't for the fact that they were so disgusting, they would have finished all the fruits.
Yang Cheng also took a few, but he knew that if he couldn't eat something with high calories, he wouldn't be able to last, so he had to continue looking for food.
For a moment, Yang Cheng felt like he had returned to the time when he was a child trying to survive alone in the wild, trying his best to survive.
But now, he had to take two women with him, and he had lost his cultivation. His strength wasn't even as good as Liu Mingyu, who could use her inner force. Compared to back then, it could be said that he was worse …
After walking for another ten miles, the three finally came to an area with a shallow river. Yang Cheng saw that it was already evening, so he asked the women to find a place to spend the night under a rock wall.
"Pay attention to your own safety. Gather some dry grass and tree bark to make a simple bed for sleeping at night. I'll go look for something to eat in the river." Yang Cheng said.
The two women naturally didn't have any objections. These days, they had learned a lot from Yang Cheng about living in the wild. Soon, they went to gather all kinds of materials and planned to start a fire.
Yang Cheng ran to the river and looked around. As there were no fishing rods or other tools, fishing was not practical, and the river here didn't seem to have any fish.
But heaven never bars one's way. Yang Cheng's sharp eyes glanced over. It was a water snake as thick as a small arm. It was swimming under him …
Yang Cheng recognized that it was a Spiky Scale Water Snake. It wasn't poisonous. In fact, most water snakes weren't poisonous.
Moreover, there was nothing to be afraid of even if it was poisonous. He reached out and grabbed the water snake directly onto the shore!
When it came to catching snakes, Yang Cheng was already an expert. After he easily grabbed the snake's head, the snake opened its mouth. No matter how it struggled, it was of no use.
Without much hesitation, Yang Cheng opened his mouth and bit down hard on the snake's head!
"Pui!"
After the snake's head was bitten off, Yang Cheng spat it on the ground, ending its life. This way, it was more convenient to take it back.
Because he didn't bring any tools like a knife before he set off, Yang Cheng had to use the most primitive method to save time.
Fortunately, he had eaten all kinds of animals raw when he was young. Although biting a snake's head was disgusting, he was used to it. But if the women saw this scene, they would definitely close their eyes in shock.
