Chapter 195 - 195. Moshrooms

Very next day the girls made two groups one went to search the surrounding of the village towards the nearby hill and the other group went to check the huge flat plane that was from another side of the river. They made something like a raft to go over.

The water was not deep but the weather became increasingly colder, so they had no wish to get wet. Kendra went with girls first to check the surrounding forest. Even tho Ario and Kai did find a few things but actually Kai joined Ario as soon he finished his task. Finding a hundred different kinds of flowers.

The guys straight away started making the village. They didn't even check the forest and hills. At first, Ario made simple wigwam kinds of ''buildings''. But when Kai came they started making real houses. Of course, after all, even Kai never made a house before so they just tried making something that looked like. The problem is they failed so many times and just after they realized a few things a new group of people came.

By now they already knew what wood they could use and where they should build it. But with new people, many things became easier.

Kendra turned her head as she saw the four men talking about the houses and making plans for the next project. She explained to them that each house should be big enough and have its own place for the garden and street. They then realized that they forgot about such a simple thing.

Kimi took her by arm and smiled at her. ''Let them think about possible and impossible situations themselves. With that, they can stop being useless and become real grown-ups and real men.''

Kendra just patted her hand. ''I know I just have some strange thought. I don't know how it is in this world, but on our plane, it was hard for cultivators to get children. The way I understood, the higher the plan the fewer children are born as the age of parents became higher. What about your world?''

Kimi held her hand as they tried to climb the hills. With a heavy breath, she just waved her hand. ''I am from the sixth kind of plane world. Out 100 real marriages, only one would give birth to cultivator child. Even tho we have a high percentage of spirit veins and wells, it is really rare to have real cultivator born. We came to the realization that the cultivators are mostly born on tenth planes as there is no outside intrusions. Strange, isn't it?''

Kendra nodded and just tried to pass the bushes uphill. As she looked around for edible plants she had strange thoughts coming up and suddenly she smiled. Can't be, right?

But for now, she kept her thoughts for herself as a new view came in front of her eyes. Bunch of hills stacked together with a tall mountain as background. Behind their hill wiggled a big river and far away she could see on side sea. As the sun hit its surface she could see blue and green. So far but so near.

In summer they could go and gather salt there and enjoy their time. In winter they could just stay in the village and just have some fun. But then she shook her head. She now knew the grounding fairy's idea. Luckily she kept her child's body, or it could become quite fast, quite bothersome. But then she remembered those men from the other guild she started to feel uncomfortable.

even if they couldn't die they could still feel pain and if they had some strange thoughts... For a short time, her eyes became completely red, making Kimi stunned. ''Kendra, your eyes.''

Kendra blinked at her as her eyes turned normal again. ''It seems I didn't lose all my powers. Or I gained a bit back as I helped you all finish your tasks faster. I hope I will gain enough power back to protect us when times come.''

Kimi was stunned about her answer but then remembered that they are not alone in this world. There are many others and they will definitely want them to fail the tasks or even worse. ''Kendra yous aid something before, I have feeling I need to know it. we all need to know.''

Kendra nodded. ''I am sure others will join us soon in our village. I will tell you after I am sure about my assumption. But we need to prepare more than just a village. we need to build not village than the fortress. I fear that the things we have will be torn in the eyes of those people.''

Kimi nodded. She knew about stories from the test before. Not many of those stayed alive. For now, they are safe but if others find them, who knows what will happen. They need to prepare.

Kendra turned her head and saw a beautiful tiny bird flying around. She followed slowly the bird that seemed to want to show her something and Kimi silently followed. She could see that the bird was concentrated only on Kendra so she knew she should not disrupt.

Soon they came close to a dark part of the forest. Just a few streaks of light passed through the thick shadows of tall trees. But what made Kendra smile brightly were huge amounts of mushrooms. Huge ones on top of it. She remembered the mushroom she ate a long time ago in Isaa's space. The weasel family lived near mushrooms and ate them...

She slowly approached and with chuckle recognized the mushroom. ''Kimi. From now on we do not have to kill any animal. These mushrooms, I am familiar with. Lets us take one home and prepare for dinner. I think you will love it.''

Kimi didn't know what she was talking about but knew that mushrooms existed in all worlds so she just nodded and picked up one big one. Kendra took one that was bits smaller and as they exited the forest with the hands filled with mushrooms everyone looked at them in astonishment.

''Kendra said this is something she ate before, so let's see. Did you find something on the meadow?'' Kima saw girls coming with bags filled with all kinds of things.

Chyntia was so happy as she showed the things they found. Wild onions, carrots, all kinds of strange roots. Kendra recognized many of them and they started smiling even brighter. ''Kendra does that mean that we do not have to make our own gardens?''

Kendra suddenly stopped smiling and looked at Kimi. Kimi understood Kendra. This child hates repeating the same things again so she explained.

''We realized something while looking from the hill. For now, we are fine. But what if others find us? Kendra was thinking bout making the fortress just in case some of the other guilds have to wish to harm us. we might are not able to die but what if they had other ideas...'' No matter what plane it is, there are always those people that have disgusting thoughts about destroying someone's self-esteem.

They all became silent realizing that there is much more to do. Even tho Kendra was the smallest among them but they somehow got used to listening to her advice so all their eyes turned towards her.

What else could she do than to answer? ''You will continue to build houses from now on. The girls and I will gather as much food as we can. we need to dry some. I think soon some more of our people will come so they will need a place to stay at. Let's make many houses like this one we made now. As soon new people arrive the things will go faster. Until then I will check surrounding and I will tell you my ideas. Now I all I can do is to make plans. Girls will go together tomorrow again to the same place and bring more mushrooms. I will stay here and will try to dry these for winter. The vegetables on meadow are not far so we can gather them later on. Give me some alone time to think.''

She turned around taking the smaller mushroom and went on the big table she asked the guys to make for food preparation. With her knife, she started cutting and slicing while others started chatting about the new situation they completely put on the back of their heads. The girls glanced at her from time to time but seeing how serious her expression is they knew something is brewing in that small head of hers...
