Chapter 331 Observing the Forest 2
Zhi and Zhang Ying walked side by side in front, followed closely by the two Zerg brothers Wang Jun and Wang Kai, as well as the four Zerg siblings Li?, Li Ming, Li Hua, and Li Li. Hua Yuan and Zhang Yuan were responsible for the rear of the team and the surrounding environment.
The purpose of this operation is to go deep into the forest to find precious herbs and ingredients. Since Lin Zhi traveled to the Zerg world and became a member of this unique race, she has not only learned to adapt to life here, but also gradually integrated into this big family. Although the Zerg society is primitive, each member has unique skills and wisdom, and together they maintain the peace of their homeland.
"Everyone be careful, the creatures in this forest are more active than you think." Lin Zhi warned in a low voice, her eyes were sharp and she was always paying attention to her surroundings. Since she became a member of the Zerg, her keen observation and analytical ability from the human world has been greatly utilized here.
Wang Jun and Wang Kai looked at each other, and the two brothers separated tacitly, using their agility to shuttle between the trees and explore the way for the team. Their antennae swayed gently, sensing the slight fluctuations in the air, and any potential danger could not escape their vigilance.
"Sister, look!" Li Hua suddenly stopped and pointed at a strange plant not far away. The leaves of the plant were translucent, emitting a faint fluorescence, which was particularly dazzling in the sun.
"This is 'Glossy Leaf Grass', its juice can be used to heal wounds." Lin Zhi quickly identified the herb, squatted down, and carefully picked it. Her movements were gentle and skillful, for fear of damaging the precious plant.
Li Ming and Li Li were busy collecting other ingredients. Their tentacles gently touched the fruits and fungi on the ground to determine which ones were edible. Their movements were quick and accurate, and soon, the backpack was filled with a variety of ingredients.
Hua Yuan and Zhang Yuan remained highly alert, their antennae swaying from time to time, sensing the subtle changes in the surrounding environment. Their eyes were firm and resolute, ready to respond to possible threats at any time.
"Everyone, pay attention, there is movement ahead!" Wang Jun suddenly issued a warning. His voice was low and powerful, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Lin Zhi immediately stopped and signaled everyone to stay alert. She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and used her mind to sense the movement in front of her. After a moment, she slowly opened her eyes, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
"It's a group of beasts deep in the forest, and they are moving towards us." Lin Zhi said in a deep voice.
"What should we do? Should we avoid it?" Zhang Ying asked nervously.
Lin Zhi pondered for a moment, and then made a decisive decision: "We will take a detour and try to avoid conflict with them. But everyone should be careful, the actions of the beasts are often accompanied by unknown dangers."
Led by Lin Zhi, the team quickly adjusted their direction and followed a hidden path to avoid the herd. They moved forward cautiously, with every step full of caution and vigilance.
After a long journey, they finally left the herd's range. The sun was setting, and the golden afterglow filled the entire forest.
"Huh, finally safe." Wang Jun breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Yeah, it was a close call this time." Wang Kai also agreed.
Lin Zhi looked at everyone's tired but motivated faces, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She knew that it was these partners who fought side by side that made her feel a sense of belonging and strength in this strange world.
"Everyone has worked hard. Let's celebrate tonight." Lin Zhi said with a smile.
There was a burst of cheers in the team, and everyone quickened their pace and walked towards home. In the afterglow of the setting sun, their figures looked particularly determined and brave.
As night fell, the Zerg territory was brightly lit. Everyone sat around the campfire, sharing today's gains and experiences. Linzhi told stories of their adventures in the forest, which drew exclamations and laughter from everyone.
"Sister Linzhi, you are so awesome!" Li Hua looked at Linzhi with admiration, his eyes flashing with respect.
Lin Zhi smiled slightly and said modestly: "This is the result of everyone's joint efforts."
Amidst the laughter and joy, the Zerg Territory spent a warm and wonderful night. Linzhi also knew that there was still a long way to go in the future, and they would continue to write their own adventure stories in this magical land.
As the night deepened, the bonfire gradually went out, and the Zerg territory returned to peace. But in Linzhi's heart, she was full of expectations and longings for the future. She knew that as long as everyone was united, nothing could stop them from moving forward.
"Linzhi, what new discoveries do you think we can make this time?" Zhang Ying asked softly, with a hint of anticipation in his voice.
Lin Zhi smiled slightly, his eyes still not leaving the dense forest ahead, "This time we are going deep into the heart of the forest, we should encounter some creatures and scenes that we have never seen before. However, everyone should be careful, the ecology of the Zerg world is completely different from our original world."
Behind them, the Zerg brothers Wang Jun and Wang Kai followed closely behind. They were agile and light-footed, as if they had merged into the forest. Wang Jun held a sharp bone blade in his hand, which was a weapon he made himself, while Wang Kai carried a huge insect shell backpack filled with the supplies they needed for this trip.
"Brother, I think we will be able to find more food and resources this time and make contributions to our tribe." Wang Kai said confidently.
Wang Jun nodded, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, "That's right, we Zerg brothers are never afraid of difficulties. As long as we unite as one, there is nothing we can't overcome."
As they went deeper, the surrounding scene gradually became strange and mysterious. Huge trees towered into the sky, and thick vines entangled in between, as if forming a natural maze. Occasionally, you could hear the low roar of animals in the distance, which made people feel cold.
At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came from the front. Lin Zhi and Zhang Ying immediately stopped and signaled the Zerg brothers behind them to stay alert. Several figures rushed out from the bushes. They were the four Zerg brothers and sisters - Li?, Li Ming, Li Hua and Li Li.
"Brother Linzhi, Sister Zhangying, we found a mysterious cave here. There may be precious treasures inside!" Li Li shouted excitedly, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and anticipation.
Lin Zhi and Zhang Ying looked at each other, their hearts full of interest. They knew that in the Zerg world, every unknown cave might hide huge secrets and wealth.
"Okay, let's go and take a look together." Lin Zhi said, and led everyone towards the cave.
The cave was located deep in a dense forest, covered by dense vegetation. When they pushed aside the vines and revealed the cave entrance, a cold breath hit them. The inside of the cave was pitch black, as if it was a huge black hole that swallowed up all the light.
"Everyone be careful, follow me closely." Lin Zhi said, taking out a torch from his backpack, lighting it and entering the cave first. Zhang Ying and his Zerg brothers and sisters followed closely behind, their hearts filled with tension and anticipation.
As they went deeper, the scene inside the cave gradually became clearer. The cave walls were covered with glowing moss, illuminating the road ahead. As they walked along the winding passage, they could hear the sound of water dripping on the stone surface from time to time, which was crisp and pleasant.
Suddenly, a low roar came from the front, shocking everyone. They approached cautiously and saw a huge Zerg creature curled up in a corner of the cave, its body covered with a hard shell, its eyes closed, as if it was sleeping.
"What kind of creature is this?" Zhang Ying asked in surprise.
Lin Zhi shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either. But he knew that this creature was definitely not trivial and they had to be careful in dealing with it.
At this moment, the creature suddenly opened its eyes, with a fierce light flashing in its eyes. It suddenly jumped up and pounced on everyone. Lin Zhi reacted quickly, grabbed Zhang Ying and retreated. The Zerg brothers and sisters quickly launched an attack and started a fierce fight with the creature.
After a fierce battle, they finally subdued the creature. When it was tied to the ground, everyone discovered that there was a gem shining with a strange light hidden on its body.
"This gem..." Lin Zhi looked at the gem, and a strong premonition surged in his heart. He knew that this gem must be related to a secret of the Zerg world.
"We have to leave here quickly and hand this gem to the elders of the tribe." Zhang Ying said, with a hint of urgency in her tone.
Everyone nodded, quickly packed up their spoils, and returned along the same path. When they walked out of the cave and returned to the forest, the sun had already set, and the golden afterglow shone on them, bringing this adventure to a perfect end.
When they returned to the tribe, they handed the gem to the elder. The elder looked at the gem, his eyes sparkling with wisdom. He gently stroked the surface of the gem, as if he was communicating with it.
"This gem is an ancient legend in the Zerg world. It represents strength and wisdom, and is a precious legacy left by the ancestors of the Zerg." The elder said slowly.
Everyone listened to the elder's story with awe and pride in their hearts. They knew that this adventure not only allowed them to obtain precious treasures, but also gave them a deeper understanding of the Zerg world.
As night fell, a blazing bonfire was lit in the Zerg tribe. Lin Zhi, Zhang Ying and their Zerg brothers and sisters sat around the fire, sharing their adventures. Their faces were filled with smiles, and their hearts were filled with expectations and longings for the future.
The Zerg brothers Wang Jun and Wang Kai walked in the front, and they guided the team with their familiarity with the land. Wang Jun was tall, muscular, and looked extremely powerful, while Wang Kai was relatively thin, with sharp eyes and was good at observing changes in the surrounding environment. The two walked in tandem, one in front and one behind, with perfect understanding.
Following closely behind are the four Zerg siblings: Li?, Li Ming, Li Hua and Li Li. As the eldest brother, Li? is calm and reserved, always concerned about the safety of his younger siblings; Li Ming is lively and active, curious about all new things; Li Hua is a careful girl, good at taking care of others; Li Li is the youngest, but extremely alert, always able to discover hidden crises at critical moments.
Hua Yuan and Zhang Yuan are the brains of the team. They are responsible for recording data and analyzing the edible value and medicinal potential of wild fruits. Hua Yuan holds a thick notebook and carefully records the characteristics of each wild fruit; Zhang Yuan holds a small scanner and conducts preliminary chemical analysis of the wild fruits.
As we go deeper into the forest, we see all kinds of colorful wild fruits. Some are as red as fire, exuding an alluring aroma; some are emerald green, covered with a thin layer of fluff; and some are golden yellow, like little suns hanging on branches.
"Look, there's a blueberry forest over there!" Wang Jun pointed to a forest not far away and shouted. Everyone approached the forest. The blueberry fruits were small and round, with a layer of light white frost on the skin, which sparkled with an attractive luster in the sun.
"These blueberries look good. We can pick some to take back." Yan Jun said as he took out a collection bag from his backpack and began to pick blueberries carefully.
Zhang Ying reminded: "Everyone be careful not to damage the root system of the blueberry trees, otherwise it will affect their growth."
While picking blueberries, Li Ming suddenly discovered a strange fruit tree. The tree was not tall, but the fruit was unusually large, and the skin was a strange purple color, as if it contained some mysterious power.
"What kind of fruit is this? I've never seen it before." Li Ming asked curiously.
Upon hearing this, Hua Yuan immediately walked to the fruit tree and observed it carefully. She gently picked a fruit and held it in her hand to examine it carefully. The fruit had a smooth skin, attractive color, and exuded a faint fragrance.
"This seems to be the legendary amethyst fruit, which is said to have magical medicinal value." A hint of surprise flashed in Hua Yuan's eyes.
Hearing Hua Yuan's words, everyone gathered around and looked at the purple crystal fruit curiously. Zhang Yuan immediately took out a scanner and conducted a detailed chemical analysis of the purple crystal fruit. The results showed that the fruit contained rich nutrients and medicinal value, and was indeed a rare and precious medicinal material.
"It seems that our trip is really worthwhile!" Yan Jun said with a smile.
Just as everyone was immersed in the joy of discovering the purple crystal fruit, a sudden burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence. Everyone immediately became alert and tightened their weapons, ready to deal with possible crises.
A group of nimble Zerg warriors rushed out of the woods, holding spears and looking fierce, obviously with ill intentions. Wang Jun and Wang Kai immediately stood in front of the crowd, ready to fight.
"Who are you? Why are you attacking us?" Yan Jun asked loudly.
The Zerg warriors did not answer, but just waved their spears and launched a fierce attack on everyone. A fierce battle broke out in the forest, and everyone used their own unique skills to fight a desperate battle with the Zerg warriors.
In the battle, Lin Zhi showed her excellent skills and keen insight. She flexibly dodged the enemy's attacks and looked for opportunities to counterattack. Zhang Ying used her rich combat experience to command everyone to fight in coordination, effectively reducing casualties.
After a fierce battle, everyone finally repelled the attack of the Zerg warriors. Although everyone was injured to varying degrees, looking at the purple crystal fruits and full collection bags in their hands, everyone's face was filled with the joy of victory.
"This time it's really dangerous!" Yan Jun exclaimed.
"Yes, but we also got the precious purple crystal fruit, so it was worth it." Lin Zhi said with a smile.
