"Brother Luo, have some water!" Wang Shishi handed a wooden cup to Luo Yuan with a smile.
Luo Yuan took a sip and handed it back. He continued to search on the ground, occasionally picking up an inconspicuous grass.
"Brother Luo, what's the use of this grass?" Wang Shishi asked obediently, obviously not in a hurry to go back.
"Let's make soup!" Luo Yuan said without raising his head.
This grass was obviously rare. He had to search for a long time before he found another one.
Wang Shishi looked at the grass in Luo Yuan's hand. It did not look any different from other grass. It was just an ordinary grass. The only strange thing about it was the silver veins on its leaves. However, such abnormalities were normal in this mutated world.
"Soup made from this grass? Does it taste good? "Wang Shishi asked curiously.
"I haven't tried it, but I'm sure it won't taste good!" Luo Yuan said casually.
"Then why are you looking for this kind of grass?" Wang Shishi asked.
Luo Yuan finally stood up and looked at Wang Shishi. "Are you free? Have you finished today's practice?"
"Why do you ask me that every day? I'm not a child anymore!" Wang Shishi pouted unhappily. "I can fly like a bird now."
"Don't brag. Try flying," Luo Yuan said, feeling a little envious. Ever since she had been bitten by a mutated ant and passed out, Wang Shishi had been able to fly the next day after she woke up. It was a blessing in disguise.
Of course, "flying" was just a rough description. To be exact, she was floating. She could rise up to five meters vertically from the ground.
Floating was easy, but moving in the air was more difficult. According to the force model, since she could rise and fall vertically, moving forward should be easy as well. All she had to do was slightly shift the angle of the force.
However, this was only an ideal situation. Humans were terrestrial creatures. Being in the air, not only would they be nervous, but their perspective would also change from a two-dimensional perspective to a three-dimensional one. Moreover, they would not be able to exert force in any direction, so it was very difficult for them to control their bodies and emotions. If they were not careful, their bodies would easily sway and cause them to fall to the ground.
It seemed like a small step from floating to flying, but without repeated practice and adaptation, it would be difficult to make the leap.
"Let's fly then!" Wang Shishi grunted in dissatisfaction. She put the cup away and glanced at Luo Yuan. "I'm starting!"
Luo Yuan stepped aside and nodded.
Wang Shishi took a deep breath and calmed her emotions. Immediately, an invisible force acted on the ground, causing a large amount of smoke and dust to scatter. The nearby weeds seemed to be suppressed by a great force and fell to the ground.
She slowly floated up, and the air around her seemed to be slightly distorted. After rising to three meters, she slowly stopped rising and turned to fly forward. In the beginning, her speed was very slow, and her expression was serious and nervous. However, as she gradually got used to it, she began to slowly increase her speed. From the original two to three meters per second, she gradually reached five meters per second, then ten meters per second.
"Don't keep going straight, turn!" Luo Yuan frowned and shouted.
Wang Shishi's body froze, and her speed gradually slowed down. After a full five seconds, she made a 30-degree turn. A minute later, she landed on the ground again, panting a little.
"Is this what you mean by flying like a bird? You're talking about an ostrich, aren't you?" Luo Yuan mocked her mercilessly.
"I've been practicing every day, but turning is too difficult. I can't control it well." Wang Shishi's face was red with embarrassment.
"If it's difficult, then practice hard. Practice until it becomes an instinct, until it's ingrained in your bones. No one is born with it. You're so talented, it would be a waste if you don't work hard!" Luo Yuan said.
"I've been practicing very hard." Wang Shishi felt wronged and wanted to cry. She sounded like she was about to cry. "I just thought that you were thirsty, so I brought you a glass of water, but you're angry at me!"
Seeing Wang Shishi's tears, Luo Yuan's heart softened. He said, "Maybe I'm too strict. I know that you've been working hard, but it's still not enough! If it was someone else, I wouldn't care, but you're different! "
"How am I different?" Wang Shishi could not help but ask.
"You've been with me for the longest time. We've been through the apocalypse together, and we've helped each other in difficult times. We're like family now. Plus, you're talented and have the potential to survive the apocalypse. That's why I'm very strict with you. Do you understand?" Luo Yuan said sincerely.
Wang Shishi blushed when she heard the words' helped each other in difficult times'. She was completely confused about the rest of the sentence.
"Alright, let's go back!" Luo Yuan said, satisfied with Wang Shishi's obedience.
"Okay!"
… …
"Boil these grass into a bowl of soup." Luo Yuan walked to the grotto and saw a few women cleaning up. He put the grass on the stone table and ordered them.
"Okay, how many bowls of water do you need?" Huang Jiahui walked over and looked at the grass strangely, but did not ask any questions.
"Four bowls to one bowl!" Luo Yuan thought for a while and said, "Oh right, where are the others?"
"They went hunting with King Kong." Huang Jiahui pursed her lips and smiled.
King Kong was a giant ape. The intelligence of a giant ape was almost the same as a human's, and it was very active. In the beginning, it had been quiet for a few days because it was unfamiliar to them. However, it did not take long for them to get familiar with it. Coupled with the fact that everyone was trying to please it, they were probably closer to it than Luo Yuan. Now they even brought it along to hunt together.
However, this was not the first time this had happened, and they usually did not go too far away. Luo Yuan was not too worried about it.
Huang Jiahui's hands and feet were nimble. After washing the grass, she placed it in the stone pot and began to boil it. Not long after, a pungent smell slowly spread out. Huang Jiahui sneezed repeatedly and did not dare to go any closer.
"Brother Luo, what is this? It's so pungent!" Cao Ling, who was standing nearby, could not help but ask.
"It's a very special type of grass!" Luo Yuan said casually, "Eating it will make one's god-level sensitive and extremely painful."
"Then what are you doing? Eating it?" Huang Jiahui quickly asked.
Luo Yuan nodded and said, "You should know the use of Will. Enduring pain can greatly improve your Will. Don't worry, it's not poisonous."
Everyone took a deep breath.
"Is … Is this necessary?" Huang Jiahui looked confused. This was not just hard work, it was more like self-torture. She did not ask how Luo Yuan knew. He had always had a mysterious ability to determine what was edible and what was poisonous.
Luo Yuan smiled indifferently and said, "It's better to endure the pain now than to die in an insurmountable danger later!"
"Then leave some for me too!" Huang Jiahui gritted her teeth and said, thinking that she was now a burden to Luo Yuan and could not help him with anything.
"I want to try too!" Wang Shishi said.
The others seemed to be encouraged and said one after another.
"Are you sure?" Luo Yuan looked at the women, amused. "Don't cry for your parents when the time comes!"
He had experienced this pain before. He had only chewed on a leaf and felt excruciating pain all over his body. The pain was indescribable. It came from every part of his body, every muscle, every organ. It felt like his entire body was on fire and he wanted to faint.
Even with Luo Yuan's 14-point Physique, he could not withstand the excruciating pain. He had been in pain for more than 10 minutes before his spirit slowly recovered. It was as if he had taken a walk in hell.
That was only the effect of one leaf, but there were more than 10 of them. Even Luo Yuan felt numb and scared.
"Why are you looking down on women? If you want to compare the ability to endure pain, how can a man compete with a woman? The pain of giving birth is beyond any man's imagination," Huang Jiahui said indignantly. Then, she thought of her daughter and felt a little sad.
"Alright, if that's the case, let's give it a try!" Luo Yuan said helplessly.
The soup was ready and poured into a wooden bowl. The soup was orange-yellow and exuded a pungent smell. However, as people from the apocalypse, their tolerance was much higher than normal people's. The smell only made the women frown.
Some of the soup was divided and poured into smaller bowls. Almost everyone got a spoonful. If Luo Yuan had not stopped them, they would have been divided equally.
"I'll drink first!" Luo Yuan picked up the bowl and blew on it. He took a deep breath and poured the soup into his mouth.
Because it was a soup, the effect was faster this time. He had only drunk it for a few seconds when his face stiffened and he groaned. The bowl in his hand fell to the ground.
His expression was ferocious, and the muscles all over his body began to tremble violently. He gritted his teeth, and large beads of sweat continuously seeped out from his forehead and fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.
He gritted his teeth and held on for a few seconds before falling to the ground. His body twitched uncontrollably and rolled around.
Everyone seemed to feel the same. Their faces turned pale and they looked at each other. Looking at the orange-yellow liquid in the bowl, a chill rose from their hearts and spread throughout their bodies.
