They were finally about to reach their destination, so they were no longer in a hurry.
For Aoki and the others, the most important thing now was to have lunch, then let the Dark Crow and the Dazed Beast rest and recover their strength.
He found a relatively wide and huge rock and took out all the tools one by one.
Although it was a stone forest, there were more than just stones. There were more withered grass and straw on the ground than in the forest.
After making a fire, they piled up a simple stove with the stones around them. They then placed a small pot on top of it and carefully poured the lake water that they had collected in advance into the pot.
It was best not to drink raw water in the wild. Even if the water looked clean, no one could tell how many bacteria there were in it.
Elves like the Dark Crow and the Dazed Beast were much stronger than humans, so they didn't have to worry about it, but Aoki couldn't.
If they got sick from drinking raw water, it would be very dangerous in the wild if they didn't have the right medicine.
Aoki didn't want to get sick from living in the wild when he didn't get injured from fighting.
While boiling the water, he took out the food for the Dark Crow and the Dazed Beast. In addition to the energy cube, the Dark Crow also had a wild rabbit that he had caught in advance, while the Dazed Beast had his favorite fish.
It was also because of Aoki that they had good mouths. The Dazed Beast used to enjoy eating raw fish, but after eating Aoki's grilled fish and meat, it really didn't care about raw food anymore.
The same went for the Dark Crow. Although there were enough energy cubes for every meal, in order to satisfy his appetite, he had to add some meat to every meal.
With the help of the Dazed Beast, a wild rabbit and five big fish that were as thick as an arm were cleaned, and the internal organs and blood were covered with mud.
This was the wild, and Aoki didn't want a large number of elves to be attracted by the smell of blood while he was eating.
After the water was boiled, he filled another bottle with water. This was Aoki's drinking water for the whole afternoon.
Then, he began to roast the meat with ease. He skillfully brushed the oil, rolled the meat, and sprinkled the seasoning. Amidst the fragrance of the meat, he finished cooking.
Aoki only needed a rabbit leg and half a fish to fill his stomach. The rest was for the Dark Crow and the Dazed Beast.
The two of them wolfed down their lunch quickly. After a short break, they once again set foot on the road ahead.
Walking through the stone forest was much more comfortable than walking through the forest. Although there were towering stone pillars everywhere and the ground was bumpy, Zhang Heng was still able to walk through the stone forest.
However, compared to the overgrown weeds in the forest, the road was covered with weeds. Every step had to be controlled to avoid stepping directly into a pit. Furthermore, every foothold in the stone forest was visible, so there was no need to worry about missing a step.
Most importantly, the elves in the Stone Forest were all Little Fist Stones. Although there were a lot of them, and there was always a patch of them at a glance, the Little Fist Stones were gentle. As long as you didn't step on them, they would generally ignore you. Moreover, the Little Fist Stones liked to be quiet. They would often stand among the stones for an entire afternoon.
The Little Fist Stones in the Stone Forest were generally of low levels. Takeshi Aoki didn't see any above Level 20 along the way, and Aoki didn't even see the evolved Rumbling Rock of the Little Fist Stones.
Because the road was easy to walk on and there were no elves that occasionally attacked, Aoki walked very quickly. In just half an hour, they had passed through half of the Stone Forest. If they continued at this speed, they would soon reach the mission location.
However, things often didn't go as planned. This was because Aoki and the others were blocked by a Little Elf. It wasn't that the Little Elf wanted to stop Aoki from moving forward, but it was entirely because of its huge size that it only blocked the path that they had to pass through.
The Little Elf that blocked their path was a huge Rock Snake.

This Big Rock Snake leaned against a huge rock to rest, but it blocked a path. If they wanted to pass through, they would have to climb over its body.
Although the Big Rock Snake wasn't a fierce elf, if Aoki and the others climbed over it, it would definitely anger the Big Rock Snake.
And if they took a detour, looking at the endless stone walls on both sides, who knew how long they would have to walk.
Aoki smiled bitterly and muttered, "A Level 30 Big Rock Snake, this is a bit difficult."
The resources in the Stone Forest were relatively poor, so there weren't any strong races that occupied such a large area.
Only Small Fist Stones and Big Rock Snakes didn't have many requirements for other resources. As long as there were rocks rich in minerals, they would be their favorite. And the most abundant resource in the Stone Forest was rocks.
But along the way, the Small Fist Stones' levels weren't high. The rocks here shouldn't be rich in minerals, or else the Small Fist Stones' levels wouldn't be so low.
But this Level 30 Big Rock Snake in front of them, what was going on?
Looking again at the Big Rock Snake lying there, comfortably basking in the sun, Aoki's eyes suddenly lit up as he thought of an idea.
"Dazed Beast, aim at the Big Rock Snake's location and use Pray for Rain!" That's right, it was the Dazed Beast's inherited skill, Pray for Rain.
The Dazed Beast nodded, opened its mouth slightly, and let out a murmur with a unique melody.
Following the murmur of the Dazed Beast, traces of black clouds gradually appeared in the sky and gathered above the Big Rock Snake's head.
"Mo?" The Big Rock Snake, who was originally enjoying the sun comfortably, suddenly felt the temperature of its body drop, and its squinted eyes also felt the disappearance of the light.
He opened his eyes strangely, only to see that the originally hot sun had suddenly disappeared, and a black cloud had abruptly appeared above his head.
Seeing that the rain in the black cloud was about to fall, the Big Rock Snake looked around suspiciously, but didn't find anything suspicious. But looking at the black cloud above its head, it was obviously coming for it, because dozens of meters away, the sun was still shining brightly.
The Big Rock Snake's body was huge, but its personality was very simple and honest. It didn't have much brain capacity, so it didn't think too much.
If it really couldn't find anyone else, it could only give up.
When the first drop of rain fell on its body, the unwilling Big Rock Snake finally moved its body.
Although it was now at its favorite place to bask in the sun, and it had been used to lying there for many years, for the Big Rock Snake, which had four times the Weak Water, it still hated the rain more.
The culprits hiding behind the stone pillar, Aoki and the Dazed Beast, watched the Big Rock Snake quickly run away after the rain fell.
As the rumbling sound of rock rubbing against rock gradually faded away, the Big Rock Snake left its favorite place, and the road that was originally blocked also revealed an intersection.
Soon, the Big Rock Snake disappeared without a trace, and Aoki also let the Dazed Beast stop praying for rain. The black cloud quickly dissipated, and the sun shone again. Only the small puddles on the ground and in the pile of rocks showed what had just happened.
After waiting for a few minutes, the Big Rock Snake didn't show any signs of returning, so Aoki felt relieved and walked over with the Dark Crow and the Dazed Beast.
They saw that between the originally towering cliffs, there was a road that was big enough for three people to walk side by side. The road went straight into the sky, forming the scene of a line in the sky. The Big Rock Snake from before was lying at the entrance of this line in the sky.
Walking into the line in the sky, the original warm feeling disappeared in an instant, and there was a kind of coldness that hit their faces, as if they were in front of a refrigerator in summer.
The air in the line in the sky was also very dry, and the whole environment was cold and dry.
As they gradually went deeper, the surrounding vitality became less and less, and there wasn't even a weed.
Thinking about it, the sun was not seen here all year round, and the air was cold and dry. Even the rain didn't often come in, and even the moss, a plant with strong vitality, needed at least water.
Suddenly, after walking one-third of the way into the line, a huge hole appeared on the rock wall. The whole hole was more than two meters high and three people wide. Looking from the outside, it was pitch black inside.
