Damn, they're draining energy!
Lin Su grimaced, instantly understanding why the group of flying leaf sprouts relentlessly pursued him.
They must have been certain that his physical strength was depleting quickly, and with their ability to drain, they could absorb the surrounding supernatural energy faster to replenish themselves, especially since this area was naturally conducive to wood-based creatures...
"ow!" (Over there!)
Suddenly, Qiuqiu spoke up. Using telepathy, Lin Su instinctively looked towards a certain spot, his face imdiately brightening.
It was a low hill with a very narrow entrance to a cave at its waist.
There was still so distance to the snowy mountains, and continuing to run would rapidly deplete Lin Su's physical strength, eventually allowing the flying leaf sprouts to catch up. After releasing two Frost Storms, Qiuqiu hadn't had ti to replenish its strength with energy liquid and hadn't recovered its power yet. If it continued to use Frost Storm, it would soon be exhausted.
Entering that small cave and blocking the entrance should buy ti for both the pet and its owner to recuperate.
The only uncertainty was that Lin Su couldn't be sure whether there were any beasts inside the cave.
If there were, their situation would beco even more dangerous.
Glancing back at the flying leaf sprouts, which were closing in, Lin Su gritted his teeth.
He'd take a chance!
I just don't believe, every cave has a beast in it.
He quickly ran towards the cave at the hill's waist, holding Qiuqiu and rolling into the interior of the cave.
Seeing that the space inside the cave was much more open than outside and that there were no beasts present, a flicker of excitent passed through Lin Su's eyes.
He'd gambled correctly!
Listean to the noise outside the cave, Lin Su gritted his teeth and, with all his might, hugged a large rock, slightly bigger than the cave entrance, and viciously blocked the entrance with it.
With one hand on the rock, feeling the vibrations caused by the attacks from outside hitting the rock, Lin Su breathed a sigh of relief.
It was unknown if it was due to the cave's special nature, but the rock was incredibly sturdy, easily withstanding the assaults from the flying leaf sprouts without showing any signs of damage, and even the vibrations were very weak.
He probably didn't need to worry about the flying leaf sprouts breaking into the cave.
Originally, sparse light entered the cave through the entrance, but as Lin Su blocked the entrance, the cave was plunged into complete darkness.
He pulled a lantern from the Space Ring, lit it with flint, and placed it on the ground, casually sitting on another rock inside the cave. He held Qiuqiu beside him and handed over a bottle of energy liquid, "You've worked hard, Qiuqiu, recover quickly."
"ow!" (Understood!)
"These flying leaf sprouts won't give up easily; after we've recovered our strength, we'll still need to make a run for it," Lin Su sighed lightly as he took out a piece of jerky from the Space Ring and began to chew on it.
This jerky was made from the at of a beast, and not only did it stave off hunger, but it also helped martial artists recover their strength quickly. Although Lin Su was not quite a proper martial artist, it was still effective for his recovery, so knowing he was going to enter this mysterious realm, his mother had specially prepared so as rations.
"ow! (◣_◢)" (I'll definitely get revenge after I evolve!)
"That's not impossible." Lin Su muttered, gently patting Qiuqiu's head, "After you evolve, we'll first search the snowy mountains for resources suitable for you, then we can return to this forest to find wood-based resources. Although you don't need them, selling them or trading for resources you can use isn't a bad idea."
"ow!" (Great!)
"..."
While the pair regained their strength and chatted, they completely missed that under the dim light of the lantern, a pair of eyes quietly erged from the shadow of the rocks they were leaning on.
They were eyes with a predominance of white and very small black pupils, which first curiously looked at Lin Su and Qiuqiu, then noticed Lin Su's action of stroking Qiuqiu.
A hint of envy appeared in those not particularly attractive eyes as they watched Lin Su's hand stroking Qiuqiu, lingering for quite a while before gradually dimming and finally rging completely with the shadow.
