After all, there were a lot of insects in the forest, so it was normal that some of them would land on people. If Yi Hao really discovered that there were bugs above his head, then it might fly away!
It had to be said that the Icemountain brain circulation gave Yi Hao a perfect explanation.
The sky had already gradually darkened. It was time to prepare for camp and rest. They couldn't rest at night in a place like the Dark Night Woods without any preparations. This way, they would be attacked by spirit beasts.
Yi Hao told the Ice Compass that they shouldn't look for spiritual medicine anymore. Let's find a place to rest first, we'll talk the next day.
Icemountain agreed and followed Yi Hao to find a place to rest and hide in the forest, even if it was a cave or a place to hide.
Indeed, the heavens didn't disappoint those who followed their wishes. Icy Jade, Yi Hao, and the others went forward about a mile or so and discovered a small cave. It seemed to be quite a secretive place.
Yi Hao decided to camp here.
He walked up to check if there were any spirit beasts or other spirit objects in there. After checking, the two discovered that it was habitable.
Since they had decided to set up camp, lighting a fire and finding food were essential.
Although Yi Hao and the Ice Ape had some dry food with them, they still had to eat some meat to satisfy their craving.
It wasn't easy for Yi Hao to get to a place like the Dark Night Forest.
Yi Hao arranged for Icy Blaze to start a fire and clean up the place. He went outside to see what kind of prey he could catch.
Icemountain that he understands, and then stay to tidy up his lodgings
In the past when she was living alone in the medicine store, she had personally done everything. Whether it was lighting a fire, cooking, or even some heavy work, she had done them all on her own.
The Icemist immediately prepared a firewood fire and cleaned up the place, then sat down and waited for Yi Hao to return. Flames danced in the air, and the heat from the heat made his cheeks redden.
Yi Hao returned after it was dark, carrying something that looked like a rabbit. This was also a spirit beast, but it was a smaller one, more fleshy, and more delicious.
It was easier to catch, and Yi Hao had already skinned it and removed its organs. Once he brought it over, he could roast it and eat it.
Bingyu happily took the item and skewered it before placing it on the fire to roast it. She had some seasonings in her bag that were spread out evenly on top of it. Now she just needed to wait for it to roast.
Young master, when you went out to hunt for prey, did you notice anything amiss or dangerous? The Ice Ape raised his head and looked at Yi Hao.
Yi Hao frowned as he talked about this. He felt that something wasn't right.
When I was outside, I felt that something was wrong, because I actually discovered some people wearing official uniform. Could it be that the powerful people of Hengnan City also wanted to search for some things in the Dark Night Forest, so they sent these soldiers? Yi Hao voiced his doubts.
If that was the case, those people wouldn't have come so brazenly. Aren't they afraid that their things will be stolen? The people in the dark forest weren't afraid of death! Good things were the way to go!
It was not without reason, and Yi Hao thought so too.
Young master, did you find anything else? Yi Hao pondered for a moment.
Yes, I had the feeling that those people in the uniform were looking for something, and one of them, when he saw me, changed his expression so much that he held his weapon as if he wanted to chase me down, this knowledge made me uneasy! They might not be looking for spirit herbs or spirit beasts, but it was possible that they were here to capture him. These words of Yi Hao caused the Ice Elemental to have an even more worried expression.
There were two directions to perceive the situation. One was that the nobles of Hengnan City were looking for spiritual objects and spirit beasts, and the other was that they were capturing people. They had even caught in the dark forest, so these people must have committed some sort of heinous crime!
Or some other reason! Frost was completely confused about this now.
Why should I chase after you? We just arrived at the Dark Night Woods, we didn't do anything that we shouldn't have done, or have disturbed the good things of others, they shouldn't have taken revenge on us! Although he said that, he still needed to study more on what exactly was going on.
Those officers and soldiers who want to chase me, there must be some other problem. Being caught by them is troublesome, the City Lord of Hengnan City is not a pushover, the other powerful nobles' strengths are also not bad, falling into their hands is definitely not a good ending.
Yi Hao went on to say that regardless of the reason, even if it's money, other things, or something else, we must keep our distance from these people, especially when we don't have the ability to protect ourselves!
Bing Yu nodded. What Yi Hao said made a lot of sense.
Young master is right, we only need to find our spiritual medicine, if there's anything wrong then just hide. No matter how strong those soldiers are, it won't be that easy to find the two of us in this dark forest. As the Ice Ape spoke, it let out a sneer.
The corner of Yi Hao's mouth curled up slightly. It's fine if we're being careful, but it's useless to think too much right now. Instead, it's as if we're worrying about something. Quick, look at your meat!
Yi Hao reminded Frost, his tone carrying a hint of ridicule.
Only then did the Ice Compass remember the barbecue on the fire. The air was already filled with a faint smell of paste. It cried out 'Oh no!' and I even forgot to place my own meat on top of it!
The Ice Ape quickly took the meat off. Fortunately, it had burnt a little. It could have cut it with a knife. It could not help but grumble at its young master.
Why didn't he remind himself earlier? He nearly burnt himself, the paste was too strong, how could he eat it, just eating the steamed bun wouldn't be of any use.
Yi Hao looked at the Ice Ape's angry expression with a smile on his face.
After the meat was done roasting, the fragrance permeated the air. The Ice Ape cut a large portion of it for him, then ate it together with the rations that it brought.
After the two of them had eaten their fill, they rested in the cave. One of them kept watch while the other rested.
He couldn't fall asleep all at once. If the cave was discovered by the spirit beasts, or if the spirit beasts that lived in the cave returned and took advantage of their sleep, wouldn't he be ambushed by the spirit beasts?
The Ice Ape first said that it would guard first and let Yi Hao sleep first. However, Yi Hao had no choice but to rest first. The Ice Ape looked at the fire and refused to let it go out.
