Chapter 96 – Realizing that she had misunderstandings about Mr. Gray Wolf (3)

When Ruan Qiuqiu got to the top of the tree, she supported herself by placing a hand against the tree trunk and raised her head. From this new elevation, she could clearly see the roots from a giant evergreen tree that was a few meters away from her. There were giant evergreen trees growing on the face of the cliff.

The snowfall had been too heavy in the past several days, so most vegetation was buried underneath the snow or covered by it. She could only vaguely make out the tips of some plants.

Struck with hope, Ruan Qiuqiu took out a strand of spiritual energy from her dantian and tentatively explored the cliff with it.

Her current ability was limited; she could only detect things within three meters. Her control of the spiritual energy lasted up to the point where she stretched it all the way to the edge of the cliff and collapsed once she tried to move it further.

Ruan Qiuqiu’s original plan was to swing across like Tarzan and jump when she was close enough, but if she did that, she wouldn’t be able to come back that way. It was impossible for her to climb the overhanging cliff that was nearly 90 degrees from the ground and over ten meters high.

Was she going to fail in getting the ginseng and herbs?

Ruan Qiuqiu didn’t want this trip to go to waste. A clear weather day like today was rare in winter.

Unwilling to give up, she slowly surveyed the edge of the cliff with her spiritual energy and suddenly touched upon a raised, sharp rock. This gave her an idea, and she climbed down from the tree with numb hands.

Mo Yu saw that she had come back so soon and guessed that she couldn’t get the herbs either. He clenched his jaw and said, “Big sister Qiuqiu, how about we try my plan? Throw me over. The snow is very thick over there. I..”

Ruan Qiuqiu: “…”

She curved her lips. “Don’t worry. I thought of another way.”

While Ruan Qiuqiu and Mo Yu were working on climbing up the cliff to get the herbs, Lu Ziran, who had left the Wind Lion Tribe at dawn, was almost at the Fire Wolf Tribe.

As a level 3 lion demon that was almost at level 4, he was able to travel much faster than Ruan Qiuqiu, especially when he was shifted into his lion form. After only running for about four hours, the big lion had already reached the forest near the Fire Wolf Tribe.

The path he had chosen was closer to the Fire Wolf Tribe and different from the path that Ruan Qiuqiu had originally walked.

Since he was close to his destination, Lu Ziran didn’t stay in his lion form. He changed back to his tall human form.

“I wonder if Ruan Qiuqiu is still alive,” Lu Ziran murmured to himself, “She’s probably dead.”

The Fire Wolf Tribe’s former chief’s terrifying reputation had spread far. If Ruan Qiuqiu was still alive, there were only two possibilities. Either that wolf demon was keeping her as reserve food and taking a few bites from her every day, or that wolf demon was already dead, and Ruan Qiuqiu survived until now by a fluke.

If it was the first possibly, then he wouldn’t bother with her. If it was the second possibility, then he might as well bring her back. Ruan Qiuqiu was sure to be extremely grateful to him, and things would develop the same way it had in his dream.

Once Lu Ziran had finished plotting, a smile appeared on his handsome face.

He touched his somewhat hungry stomach and decided to hunt for a small wild boar in the nearby area. Using the flint that he always carried, he would make a fire and roast the meat to eat.

Male demons ate a lot. A lion demon like himself, who was over two meters, required even more than the average demon. Thus, by the time Lu Ziran ate his fill, there wasn’t much left of the wild boar. It was only after he was full that remembered Ruan Qiuqiu. He hesitated for a moment, and then he cut off the boar’s foot from his leftovers. He didn’t like to eat this part of the wild boar. It didn’t have much meat on it either.

That foolish Ruan Qiuqiu, who rarely had a chance to eat meat in the tribe, would probably feel very touched when she saw a boar trotter. When he pictured Ruan Qiuqiu’s somewhat dimwitted expression, Lu Ziran had a hard time hiding the disdain in his eyes.

Ruan Qiuqiu was a thin and stupid woman that couldn’t cultivate. Although she looked pretty, everything about her showed that she was retarded. She didn’t even come close to Rou Yuerao in beauty.

To be honest, he thought it was a waste to give this boar trotter to her to eat.

Carrying the boar trotter, Lu Ziran unhurriedly walked to the Fire Wolf Tribe. He planned to find a wolf demon and ask where Ruan Qiuqiu was living.
