Oh no!
Barbie has passed out!
Even jumping into the Yellow River can't wash this clean!
Now, Lu Zhe was faced with a dreadful problem of how to explain this matter.
Tell the truth?
Hmm...
Bro actually has a system that gives the most suitable solution at certain times.
What I did earlier was the task the system gave me!
...
No, no!
How could I possibly tell others about such a golden finger!
Then...play dead?
Bro is just a hentai who likes the sour and salty taste down there, so what?
Who told you to look so pretty, what's wrong with me taking advantage occasionally?
What's wrong?
Hmm...
This way, my image would probably be completely shattered, and girls would have to look at me through tinted glasses afterwards.
"Although the venom of this scorpion is not potent, it can still make one feel very uncomfortable...
Don't you feel much better after I sucked out the venom?"
Lin Qianqian nodded earnestly: "That's true..."
Shen Bing was shocked: "What? You sucked the place where Qianqian was stung by the scorpion?"
"Ice Sis, didn't you just ask me about the scorpion? I really don't know! At the time, I just saw the fierce-looking scorpion and was afraid it would harm Qianqian, so I gritted my teeth and decided to risk my life to save my companion! And I bravely went forth to suck the venom out for Qianqian."
Qianqian kept nodding, indicating that what Lu Zhe said was true.
Shen Bing breathed, "Lu Zhe, are you sure you didn't have any other ideas at the time?"
"No, no!"
Lu Zhe shook his head like a rattle drum: "At that time, my companion's life was on the line, saving her was more important than anything. How could I think of anything else?!"
The flattery was enough to make Shen Bing laugh and cry: "Cut it out, Sis doesn't buy this!"
Though she said she didn't buy it, her expression showed she was quite flattered.
In fact, she understood that it was hard for a boy to resist such a pretty girl like Qianqian.
Although she felt a little jealous, they had been through life and death together. To still fret over such things would seem somewhat oversensitive.
Lu Zhe's tone became solemn: "Perhaps just as Ice Sis said, it doesn't have much venom. But in the wilderness, when encountering snakes, insects, rats and ants that can't be identified, it is absolutely beneficial to remain vigilant! Take this snake for example..."
Lu Zhe picked up the small red-headed blue-bodied snake: "This is a Blue Coral Snake, commonly known as a Blue Malayan Coral Snake, one of the most beautiful snakes in the world, but under its gorgeous exterior lies the largest venom gland among all snakes, making it extremely dangerous!"
"Really..." Lin Qianqian said in astonishment.
"So dangerous!" Shen Bing also broke out in a cold sweat.
"But generally it is quite docile and won't actively attack humans."
"Why did it crawl towards Ice Sis then!"
Lu Zhe casually said: "It was probably attracted by the sound of water."
Shen Bing blushed: "How is that possible, there's no water here!"
"Is there water?"
Shen Bing took the military water bottle: "There's a creek over there, see, it's completely filled."
Lu Zhe's mind stirred!
So there is a creek at the bottom of this volcano!
"Can the water be drunk?"
"The water looks quite clear to me. There are fish in it. If you're worried about bird droppings, we can boil it!"
Lu Zhe understood what finding this creek here meant: "Let's go take a look!"
The three carefully made their way through the lush vegetation and arrived at the place Ice Sis mentioned!
This creek wasn't far from where they were, at the southeast corner at the bottom of the volcano, nestled among the dense grass.
Roughly estimated, the pond was about 100 square meters. It was right up against the volcanic rock face, with a large tree covering the top of the pond. Quite a few fallen leaves had dropped into the pond.
Lu Zhe noticed the pond was about two meters deep, the bottom clearly visible. Many small fish swam inside. He suddenly reached his hand into the pond, and a group of little fish scattered in fright, but he still accurately caught a one inch long tiger skin fish that thrashed about in his palm.
Lin Qianqian was surprised: "Oh, I raised this kind of fish when I was little, but it seems the color is slightly different. This one is orange-yellow, even prettier."
Shen Bing nodded: "For the same species, they can evolve into different forms in different regions. Some difference is normal."
Qianqian asked: "Water tigers?"
Shen Bing shook her head: "No, it's a large ornamental fish with black and yellow stripes like a tiger."
"Ice Sis knows ornamental fish too?"
"Can't say I study them, just like raising them."
Lu Zhe put the fish back into the pond: "The bird droppings probably brought food for these little fish. It looks like there is a large reserve of bird and fish feces here, but to be honest, the water quality is still pretty good."
Then Lu Zhe observed the source of this water!
He discovered that water was flowing down the rock face above the pond, continuously pouring into the pond.
Yet the water level remained at a fixed height.
This meant that in the exterior of the volcano, there must be a place connected to this pond.
Possibly that lake.
This way, even in heavy rain, water could flow here through the lake, then through the wetlands and tidal flats, eventually emptying into the sea.
"Let's go take a look at the central area!"
The three continued towards the center.
Lu Zhe discovered that the terrain got higher as they went towards the center, with the east and west sides also higher. These areas probably had more sunlight exposure for the plants to grow better, producing more fallen leaves and bird droppings that eventually became soil.
Over hundreds and thousands of years, this formed the terrain pattern of relatively higher central, eastern and western areas, and relatively lower northern and southern sides.
Just then, a tree suddenly shook, its leaves and red flowers swaying slightly, as if coming alive.
This immediately frightened Lin Qianqian so much she didn't dare to move.
"What's going on?"
Qianqian looked at the tree in horror: "I just wiped my muddy foot and it moved!"
Shen Bing immediately became vigilant. Lu Zhe shielded Qianqian and carefully placed his hand on the tree trunk. Information about this tree appeared in his mind!
"Crape myrtle! A plant of the Lythraceae family, Lagerstroemia genus, also called the Sensitive Plant, Pride of India, Queen's flower, Tickle Tree..."
So this was where Emperor Qianlong and Xia Yuhe's daughter came from!
Looking further...
Because its canopy was relatively wide and the trunk slender, when scratched by humans the whole tree would shake, like tickling the soles of a girl's feet.
I see, nothing to make a big fuss about.
However, Lu Zhe next noticed two other things!
One was that this tree feared flooding.
Two was that this seemingly not very large crape myrtle was already over 600 years old.
invincible power, Gu Changge transmigrates into a fantasy world, bound to a sign-in system that grants him cultivation rewards and various peerless treasures daily. While others struggle desperately to break through their cultivation realms, he has long since reached the pinnacle of the Great Dao, becoming a reclusive Emperor whose true strength even he himself cannot fathom. Originally planning to lie low and retire peacefully on Purple Bamboo Peak, the system suddenly issues a new task — take on disciples. With no other choice, Gu Changge casually picks up a few disciples: The eldest disciple, born with a War God Constitution, is thrown a copy of "War God Stratagems" by him, and ends up conquering the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, becoming a peerless War God who sweeps across the cosmos. The second disciple, possessing a Chaos Sword Body, can break all techniques with a single sword, his swordsmanship unmatched throughout history. He points his sword at the heavens: "My master said, the sword and the man stand together. If the sword perishes... my master will give me another one." The third disciple, a reborn Empress who returns to her throne, her elegance and grace overshadowing all beings. And without anyone noticing, his own sect, the Qingxuan Sect, has become the number one sect on the continent. Looking at these unbelievably formidable disciples, Gu Changge, holding the "Primordial Purple Qi" he just signed in for, falls into deep thought: — Wasn't this supposed to be a peaceful retirement? How did I become the ultimate master?!
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
't think I'm that capable, I'm just trying my best to stay alive. I've been kind all my life, never did anything bad, yet worldly suffering spared me not one bit. The human world is a nice place, but I won't come back in my next life. A kind young man, who wanted to just get by singing, but through repeated deceits and betrayals, has gone down an irredeemable path.
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
