Chapter 68: Life in the Forest
"Hahaha, the world is very big. When we are truly powerful, I will take you to various parts of the continent to see the beautiful scenery, various wonders, and the miraculous craftsmanship of nature."
Zhou Hao crossed his hands behind his head, narrowed his eyes slightly, and spoke softly to the girl.
"The land of the extreme north, the city by the sea, the sea spirit beast, the sunset forest, and Jialing Pass, the number one pass in the world..."
All that Zhou Hao said made Zhu Zhuqing look yearning. As a little girl who grew up in a family and hardly ever went out, this was really very curious.
"You don't have to worry, there is plenty of time." Zhou Hao turned his head and said.He could already hear the sound of the rolling river not far away.
Sure enough, after a while, the two of them had already seen the long river, which was tens of meters wide. The river was passing by with great momentum. Both sides were tidal flats, densely covered with rocks, and there was no obstruction.
"It's not suitable here. Let's take a walk upstream, and the camp should not be too close to the river." Zhou Hao looked at the surrounding environment and was not very satisfied.
After walking along the river bank for about ten kilometers, under the shadow of the forest in the distance, there was a huge sound of water, and as it approached, it became more and more rumbling, and the water vapor in the air filled people's minds.
In less than a moment, Zhou Hao and Zhu Zhuqing followed the sound and arrived here. It was a huge waterfall, with a height of thirty meters above it, and at the foot was a round pool like a small lake.
"This place is very nice. Walk about two hundred meters into the woods from here and you can set up camp. The water source is no problem, and we don't have to worry about food. There are definitely a lot of spirit beasts coming here to drink water."
Zhou Hao paused for a moment, and then said: "Such a good water source and hunting ground must be the territory of a certain soul beast. It must be nearby."
Zhu Zhuqing was a little worried: "This place is already close to the central area of the Star Dou Great Forest. There are almost no weak people. Let's not stay far away. What if we are not opponents? It's better not to easily put yourself in danger."
Zhou Hao looked over with doting eyes, stroked her hair, and said, "Okay, listen to you first, we will live far away tonight, and pay attention to the situation here, okay. If it happens, I can solve it, then this will be our territory for the next few months. If not, let's find another place."
"It's not you who solve it, it's us." Zhu Zhuqing corrected him, obviously the huge increase in strength gave her a different confidence.
"Yes, it's us, Zhu Qing is already very strong." Zhou Hao pretended to be pleased, clasping his hands behind his back, nodded, causing Zhu Zhuqing to give him a blank look.
The two set off quickly and headed towards the nearby forest. Although Zhou Hao was chatting and laughing with Zhu Zhuqing along the way, his eyes were sharply looking at everything around him, and all potential dangers were remembered one by one.
This place is very good, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and this waterfall actually surprised Zhou Hao. He never knew that there were such a big gap between the two parts of the Star Dou Forest.
Arriving at a place with sparse trees, Zhou Hao stopped and said, "This is it. It's not far from the waterfall. You can rest here for a night."
Zhou Hao took out the tent and set it up quickly with his hands and feet. Zhu Zhuqing flashed quickly and began to collect firewood and hay for making a fire. For so long, this cooperation has become a tacit understanding between the two of them, and naturally there is no need to say more.
After the tent was set up, Zhou Hao figured out that there are quite a few powerful soul beasts here, so it is difficult to guarantee that the camp will not be attacked suddenly.
But he suddenly remembered the claws of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear that had been lying in his ring for a long time, so he took out a few of them and scattered them around. With such a breath of intimidation, almost no soul beast dared to make plans here anymore.
After everything was packed, Zhou Hao said to Zhu Zhuqing: "You prepare here. I'll go hunting and come back. Today I'll eat the meat of the ten thousand year soul beast. I'll finish it before dark. Take a rest and go to the waterfall at night."
"Well, then you have to be careful." Zhu Zhuqing put down some dry firewood, nodded with a smile, and said that he should not disturb such things, and with Zhou Hao's means, he can come back soon.
If in the eyes of others, a forty-plus level soul sect talked and laughed about how he was going to hunt down ten thousand year soul beasts, they would definitely be extremely surprised, but Zhu Zhuqing was absolutely aware of Zhou Hao's strength.
When the sun was slanting slightly to the west, Zhu Zhuqing had already skillfully lit a fire and boiled water.Not long after, her eyes lit up slightly, and when she looked up, Zhou Hao had already returned, with a small rabbit on his shoulder, with a little purple hair, it looked very beautiful.
He was shirtless, sweat was dripping from his face and chest, and he looked very tired.
"Good luck, I caught a good thing."
"What kind of soul beast is this? It feels similar to Xiao Wu's martial soul."
Zhou Hao said with a smile: "This should be a lightning rabbit that has just passed ten thousand years. It ran so fast that I almost fainted. Fortunately, it can't teleport all the time. Only when it shows its flaws and moves fast enough, can it have a chance."
"Let me cook today." Zhu Zhuqing said suddenly, with a firm tone.
"What's the matter, don't you know how to cook?" Zhou Hao was a little surprised.
"I actually study hard every day. Cooking is not difficult. Isn't it just roasting some meat and simmering some soup? Just give me the seasonings and spices you prepared. Go and take a rest. Just wait for the meal. "The girl said confidently.
"Okay, I'll trust you once." Zhou Hao threw the Lightning Rabbit in front of Zhu Zhuqing, and walked quickly into the tent with a suppressed smile.
Zhu Zhuqing's ambitions were half shattered in an instant, how to remove the hair, how to disembowel such a big rabbit, the bloody scene made her unable to do it at all.
On weekdays, Zhou Hao would find a place nearby to deal with the prey by himself. She had never seen it before. Every time, she watched Zhou Hao dress up the meat and roast it, or use it for stewing soup. Now, when she started to do it herself, she realized that it was not that simple at all.
Zhou Hao rested inside for a while, but he still didn't hear Zhu Zhuqing's voice calling him: "Could it be that she really plans to come by herself?"
Just as he was thinking about it, a burning smell came from outside, as well as the girl's violent coughing. Zhou Hao rushed out and saw Zhu Zhuqing working hard to flip the barbecue rack. There was an unknown black object on it, and thick smoke was billowing. It was like a fire scene.
Zhu Zhuqing has changed her hairstyle and tied all her hair back. His face was solemn, and he covered his mouth and nose with his left hand. His eyes were full of doubts. Why did Zhou Hao's meat not become burnt after being roasted for a while? Her face was already a little darkened, which made Zhou Hao laugh non-stop.
