They entered the forest in the afternoon. Fortunately, they did not encounter high-class monsters until the evening. Only some low-class ones were timid and ran away when they smelled them from a distance.
It was not easy to travel at night. They prepared to rest in a more spacious place. The guards set up tents, and the person in charge of food distributed food cans for others.
After entering the forest, they can only eat these for the time being. For Xi Ning, It is a special canned vegetable. Although the taste is average, Xi Ning can barely eat it.
The number of tents is limited. Lin An was originally arranged to rest with the guards, but Xi Ning refused and insisted on letting him enter his tent.
If everyone didn't know why Lin An wore a mask all day, they would think that Xi Ning and him had a relationship between them. Ferro thought that Xi Ning was a little scared and wanted to keep familiar people by his side, so he didn't stop them.
The space in the tent was incomparable to that of a carriage, and two people would inevitably touch each other when sleeping. Lin An did not refuse Xi Ning and lay down on the edge of the mattress.
After sleeping until midnight, Xi Ning leaned close to him, and Lin An carefully turned around and hugged him.
He didn't use spells, Xi Ning might wake up at any time in the middle of the night, Lin An felt a strange sense of tension, and he was enjoying it secretly.

Three days later, the dwarves found the lake in memory.
Strange to say, they have encountered several third-class beasts on the road these days, and
even a fourth-class beast, but they always fled after approaching them.
The dwarves are big-hearted, saying that maybe because there are so many of them, those beasts are afraid.
Others didn't understand the reason, but as long as they were safe it was all well. Only the head of the mercenary group glanced at Lin An who was following Xi Ning, and seemed to be in deep thought.
The dwarf once said that there was a third-class giant crocodile in the lake. Before approaching to look for the Red Frost Flower, the head of the mercenary group threw a few water bombs into the water, and it exploded on a crocodile that was four meters long.
“That's it!”
The dwarf instructed the mercenaries to quickly dispose of the giant crocodile, but saw that the giant crocodile did not dare to approach the shore at all, and swam to the distance with a flick of its tail.
Everyone held back their weapons in a sigh of relief. The head of the mercenary group seemed to have expected it, and waved his hand, “Hurry up and find the Red Frost Flower.”
The lake was huge, and the dwarf couldn't remember where it was. Xi Ning also searched along the shore. He crouched down and stretched out his hand to stroke the wet grass, sensing the breath here.
Probably because the plants around the area had never seen a forest elves before, all the flowers and plants were very repelling to Xi Ning. After a while, they began to gradually accept Xi Ning's spiritual nourishment, exuding goodwill towards him.
Soon someone shouted, “Here!”
Xi Ning got up and walked over. The dwarf and a few magicians who know how to recognize spiritual plants arrived first. After careful inspection, they affirmed, “Yes, this is indeed the Red Frost Flower.”
Seeing Xi Ning approaching and the people surrounding the flower make room for him. Ferro looked excited at him, “Your Highness, please take a look, can it still be saved?”
Xi Ning put down his hood, his silver hair fluttered slightly in the wind, he crouched down and reached out to touch the scorched flower stem.
Everyone looked at him expectantly, Xi Ning was a little nervous, after turning to look at Lin An behind him, he felt more at ease, “I'll give it a try.”
When he touched the flower stem just now, he didn't feel any sign that it was still alive, Xi Ning closed his eyes and released the fire of life.
Gentle and unique spiritual energy wrapped around the flower stem. After a long time, Xi Ning finally felt a faint response and opened his eyes in surprise.
The fire of life was continuously injected into the stem of the Red Frost Flower, and penetrated into the root system in the soil. The original charred shell was cracked, and a smear of green appeared in the gap.
The people around didn't dare to breathe as they didn't want to disturb Xi Ning. When the Red Frost Flower completely broke off its black shell, a small new bud emerged on the top and continued to grow.
When the petals of the Red Frost Flower are fully bloomed, they will become hard and glass-like transparent. Only when the outer petals are removed can they be used as medicine.
Seeing that it was almost done, Xi Ning stopped to gasp for breath. It was the first time he used so much spiritual energy and fire of life, plus his physical strength was a bit weak. Fortunately, the Red Frost Flower came back to life.
He stood up weakly, the pharmacist who was in charge of taking the petals stepped forward immediately, and Ferro thanked him with tears in his eyes, “Your Highness, thank you.”
Xi Ning smiled at him, “You have worked hard too.”
Ferro was very excited, after talking to Xi Ning, he turned to guard the pharmacist, and the others were also paying attention to the flowers.
Xi Ning got out of the crowd and wanted to find a place to sit and rest for a while, but then a hand suddenly wrapped tightly around his waist from behind and pull him back.
Before he lost consciousness, Lin An's familiar voice sounded in his ear, “Your Highness, it's time for us to go.”
