Chapter 34: Night in the Jungle

"You have a good relationship."

Jin Bi and Zhu Yu went to collect firewood again. When only Lin Xiaoxiao and Ye Ning were left, Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly spoke.

"Yeah, it's not bad, haha." As he spoke, Ye Ning took out another folding chair from the space card and placed it next to the campfire, then took out two stands and placed them on both sides of the campfire.

"Speaking of which, we are neighbors after all, but this is the first time we've spoken to each other in all these days."

indeed.

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't respond, but the scene of the first time she saw Ye Ning that day emerged in her mind.

Actually, she was in a bad mood at that time, but she was actually a little surprised when Ye Ning walked out of the house opposite.

Even she had to admit that Ye Ning's appearance was truly impeccable.

But the way Ye Ning greeted her at that time reminded her of what her mother had said.

"Handsome men are not good people. The more handsome a man is, the less reliable he is."

So she simply ignored Ye Ning and walked away.

At first glance, he doesn't seem to be a bad person.

He lent me a tent and a chair, and he knew a lot of things.

Of course, Mom must be right, so this person is just acting.

Thinking of her mother, Lin Xiaoxiao's originally agitated heart quickly calmed down.

Ye Ning naturally didn't know that in just a short while, the neighbor behind him had changed his mind several times.

He is busy setting up the barbecue grill at the moment.

He hadn't eaten properly all day and now his stomach was growling.

Then he took out the corpse of a large bird from the space card.

【Jungle Pheasant】.

This was the strange beast that Ye Ning encountered when he was alone before. He did not submit it but kept it.

Because he had seen it before and it tasted really good.

Then he took out a few cans of luncheon meat, some compressed biscuits, mineral water, and some seasoning cans.

He bought these after his uncle gave him the space card.

After putting the things away, Ye Ning carried the body of the Jungle Pheasant to the stream.

[Jungle Pheasant] was already dead, so there was no need to kill it. As for dealing with the corpse, to be honest, it was Ye Ning's first time doing it, especially since there was no hot water. The process of plucking the feathers was quite torturous, but after all, his physical condition had improved and his strength had increased a lot, so he just plucked it out.

Although the hard plucking made the outer skin of this [Jungle Pheasant] look terrible, at least it was plucked cleanly.

Then they cut open the belly, and this process took more than half an hour before the gold coin and Zhu Yu returned.

Then there's the campfire barbecue.

[Jungle Pheasant] It smelled very good after being roasted. I have to say Ye Ning has some talent for barbecue. It was his first time roasting something so big and it didn't get half-cooked. Only a part was a little burnt.

After roasting, Ye Ning specially tore a chicken wing for Lin Xiaoxiao.

There was no way. As soon as the gold coins were roasted, the kid tore off a chicken leg. It was obvious that he had been eyeing it for a long time. He was reluctant to let Ye Ning give the other chicken leg to Lin Xiaoxiao, so he tore off a chicken wing.

But to Ye Ning's surprise, she just looked at him calmly, shook her head, and then took out some compressed biscuits from her bag and started eating. This made Ye Ning a little confused.

He thought that Lin Xiaoxiao didn't treat them as companions. After all, they were classmates. She had clearly taken the initiative to speak, so why did she change her mind now?
weirdo.

Seeing that Lin Xiaoxiao didn't want it, Ye Ning didn't hesitate and handed the chicken wings to Zhu Yu.

"Thank you, Brother Ye Ning." Zhu Yu didn't care at all that Ye Ning gave the chicken wing to Lin Xiaoxiao and then gave it to him. He picked up the chicken wing and started to eat it.

Seeing Jin Bi and Zhu Yu chewing the chicken so happily, Ye Ning quickly tore off the last chicken leg and started eating it.

As soon as you take a bite, the juice flows out, it is really delicious!
Soon, the [Jungle Pheasant] was quickly eliminated by the three of them. After that, Ye Ning asked Jin Bi and Zhu Yu to rest first. He would guard the first half of the night and then take over in the second half.

Halfway through, Ye Ning originally wanted Lin Xiaoxiao to take a rest as well, but she just shook her head, and then sat there in a half-dazed, half-maintaining, half-functioning state of cultivation.

Seeing that persuasion was ineffective, Ye Ning did not say anything more. He maintained semi-cultivation while being alert to the situation around him.

Halfway through, Lin Xiaoxiao returned the tent to him. Ye Ning didn't ask why he didn't want it and just packed up the tent.

Ye Ning is essentially a kind person, and meeting someone is fate, so he doesn't mind lending a hand to help, just like when he first met the gold coins and the injured Zhu Yu, he would help her even if she had no information about the [Armored Army Ants] and no special means of recovery.

But he is not a pushover. Since the other party is unwilling to accept his kindness, there is no point in saying more.

However, he still felt that Lin Xiaoxiao was a little fickle. After all, he had clearly felt that she had accepted his kindness before.

But it doesn't matter. Considering her attitude, Ye Ning finally didn't mention inviting him to form a team. It was obvious that she didn't seem like she would team up with others at the moment.

Soon, it was the second half of the night and Ye Ning went to call Jin Bi to get up.

She did not call Zhu Yu. Although this girl did not look like a girl at all in terms of body shape, she was a real girl after all. She was injured during the day and spent a lot of star power in recovery. Therefore, he and Jin Bi had actually communicated with each other long ago and there was no need for her to keep watch.

Ye Ning set up the tent and started practicing normally after entering. Soon the night passed.

When Ye Ning walked out of the tent, he saw Jin Coin alone.

Seeing Ye Ning appear, Jinbi shrugged his shoulders and said, "She left before daybreak. I asked her if she wanted to team up with us, but she didn't reply. I guess she doesn't think highly of us."

It sounded like Jinbi was a little indignant, Ye Ning just patted his shoulder and said, "Everyone has their own aspirations. She may be used to being alone."

"What a pity. She is really strong. She was already at the second-star level a week ago. Now she may have even broken through to the fifth or sixth level."

Listening to what Jin Coin said, Ye Ning smiled and said nothing. He just took some biscuits and water and handed them to Jin Coin.

Then I went to the stream and washed my face.

At this moment, Jinbi had already gone to wake up Zhu Yu. The three of them packed up their things and prepared to set off.

"Here!" Jinbi took off his backpack and handed it to Ye Ning.

On the other side, Zhu Yu did the same thing.

Good guy, you know you have a space card so you don’t want to suffer any more, right?

Ye Ning smiled and put their backpacks into his space card.

At this moment, the three people's bracelets vibrated.

A location appears on the bracelet.

The three of them looked at each other and the gathering point came out!
