"Sister Hongyao, thank you!" Luo Zhen said.

Fu Hongyao smiled slightly: "No need to thank you. But if you want to practice those two secret techniques, you must reach the elite level. Just practice it first. Wait for you to practice... cough cough... cough cough cough"

As he was talking, Fu Hongyao suddenly coughed and a stream of blood spit out of his mouth.

Luo Zhen was shocked: "Sister Hongyao, don't talk first, lie down and rest!"

"It's okay, I was hit on the back by the Wumo Beast and was injured. I'll have it for a while. I'll have two fish? Let me eat some first... I'm really hungry."

Fu Hongyao said.

Luo Zhen nodded and stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go find some firewood, and then set it on fire and roast it."

"Wait, don't go to the forest. This is a deserted island, and there must be ferocious beasts. Once discovered, how can you deal with it with your strength? Just take it and eat it raw." Fu Hongyao said.

Eat raw?

Luo Zhen shook his head. He could hardly imagine what a girl would look like when eating fish. Moreover, he was hungry now and had to eat. As a chef, he was used to delicious food and could not stand the taste of raw fish at all.

Must be roasted with fire!

So Luo Zhen said, "Sister Hongyao, don't worry, I just went to the edge of the forest to pick up dry firewood, but I didn't go deeper, so there would be no danger."

“It’s really okay to eat raw.”

"Sister Hongyao, I can't stand the smell of raw fish..." Luo Zhen insisted.

"Okay, don't go deeper, be careful." Fu Hongyao knew that Luo Zhen had decided to pay attention and did not persist.

Indeed, ferocious beasts are usually entrenched in the deep forest, and there are very few people who are moving around the periphery. Luozhen just picks up some dry firewood, so there should be no problem.

"Then I'll go."

Luo Zhen turned around and walked quickly towards the forest.

More than ten minutes later, Luo Zhen finally arrived at the edge of the forest.

"This forest has existed for many years!" After approaching, Luo Zhen saw that the white mist was full of birch trees as high as eighty or ninety meters and seven or eight meters thick.

It will take at least two hundred years for birch to grow to this level.

"It's a pity that the birch wood is too soft to be suitable for shipbuilding, otherwise, it would be a huge asset."

Birch is cork, and if used to build a ship, it will not withstand the impact of wind, waves and ferocious beasts. Usually, this type of wood is used to build some indoor furniture, or to use it as firewood to burn fire.

"Birch wood is just right, it's easy to burn." Luo Zhen smiled slightly.

Walking into the forest carefully, Luozhen began to pick dry firewood. However, he found that there were basically no dead branches on the ground, only a thick layer of yellow leaves.

"Do you want to carry a bunch of leaves back? How to roast it!" Luo Zhen felt depressed.

If you hold a pile of leaves, the fish will probably be cooked before they are cooked, unless he holds them back and forth a few more times. However, this round trip will take twenty minutes, and he can wait, but Fu Hongyao can't wait.

"If there are no dead branches, just climb the tree and break a few. Birch is an oily tree, and fresh branches can burn it." Luo Zhen thought.

But--

The trees here are all eighty or ninety meters tall, and they are so thick that they can't even hold them twice as long as they are. How can he climb up?

"I can only find some low trees."

Luo Town began to look around.

Suddenly, Luo Zhen's eyes lit up, and a happy look appeared on the corner of his mouth: "There is really a small tree!"

More than 200 meters ahead, a birch tree that was only more than ten meters high and half a meter thick was hidden among many big trees. If it weren't for his position, the sight was not blocked, it would probably be impossible to find this small tree.

"Half a meter thick, you can climb up."

Luo Zhen ran over quickly, hugged the tree trunk, and used force with his legs alternately, and began to climb up step by step. In less than a minute, Luo Zhen climbed onto the canopy and then began to break the branches.

Click!

Click!

Click!

Three pieces were broken in a row, each of which was as thick as an arm, and more than two meters long. These three branches were enough for him to grill fish three times in a row.

However, considering that it may be necessary to keep warm at night, Luo Town decided to get a few more to save another trip next time.

However--

Luo Zhen was about to continue to break the branches, but suddenly he heard a rustling sound in the forest!

"Huh?" Luo Zhen was shocked and his whole body trembled with a chill.

This is a deserted island. Any deserted island must be occupied by ferocious beasts, otherwise humans would have come up to live. Now, this strange noise suddenly appears here...

Luo Zhen dared not think about it anymore.

He jumped down with a whoosh, Luo Zhen grabbed the three branches that he had thrown to the ground and ran out quickly.

Ten meters, eight meters, two meters!

Finally ran out of the woods.

However, Luo Zhen still dared not stop and continued to run!

He ran for another four or five minutes until he saw Fu Hongyao by the sea that he let out a long breath, stopped, and turned his head and looked back.

The forest was shrouded in clouds and mist, and the forest was still silent, without any abnormalities.

"Are you too concerned? Just now, the sound of the wind blowing the leaves?" Luo Zhen was a little confused.

If you think about it carefully, the sound is indeed a bit like the sound of leaves when they are blown by the wind. I am afraid I am really too sensitive. After all, when you are on a deserted island, you will feel subconsciously nervous and will inevitably make mistakes in your judgment.

"It's probably because I heard it wrong!"

Luo Zhen shook his head, put aside these thoughts, and dragged the branches towards Fu Hongyao.

However--

Luo Zhen didn't know that just after he ran out of the forest, two nearly transparent strange tentacles suddenly appeared among the dead leaves underground!

These two tentacles are twenty meters long and half a meter thick.

The tentacles are transparent, and at first glance, they look like two columns of water suspended in the air, but they are more crystal clear than water and have a clear luster under the sun.

but--

The surface of the tentacles is not smooth, with many tiny holes on it.

After reaching out from the dead leaves, these two transparent tentacles began to twist slowly in the forest, as if they were looking for something. Two or three seconds later, they all clung to the small tree before Luozhen, and then, as if they had taken stimulant, began to tremble with excitement.

At the same time, the holes in the tentacles began to spray a tiny fluorescent particle outward.

As soon as these particles flew out, they immediately dissipated around.

At the beginning, you can see light spots like fireflies. Later, these fluorescent particles all fuse into the fog and no trace can be seen anymore.

But--

In the fog, a very faint fragrance was brought.

It took a full minute to spray it until the radius of ten miles was dyed with this fragrance. The two tentacles stopped and then quietly shrank into the dead leaves without any movement.

...

"Sister Hongyao, I'm back." Luo Zhen dragged three branches back to the beach.

Fu Hongyao was relieved when he saw Luo Zhen coming back, but when he saw the sweat on his forehead, he suddenly became nervous: "Why did he sweat so much? Are you in danger?"

"No."

Luo Zhen shook his head and said a little embarrassedly: "I was startled when I heard the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, so I hurried back. I originally planned to get a few more branches."

"Are you scared back by the sound of leaves?" Fu Hongyao laughed in silence, "Town, I thought you were more courageous than anyone else, but I didn't expect you to be scared back by the sound of leaves."

"Haha." Luo Zhen scratched his head.

To be honest, he didn't know what was going on. He was really brave, but why was he scared away by a rustling sound? Now thinking about it, it's indeed a bit incredible.
