83: That dead snake actually beat me to it!

After eating breakfast, Su Luoluo recovered quite a bit of her strength.

But since she was still in a lot of pain, she secretly used her Wood Element Ability to heal herself.

Of course, she did this behind Xiao Ye's back.

Besides her Water Elemental Ability, she couldn't directly show her other supernatural abilities; after all, these were her secret life-saving weapons.

As the early morning sun filtered down from above, Su Luoluo finally saw clearly what this canyon looked like.

To be honest, it was quite beautiful.

Lush, green, and full of vitality.

With a quick glance, Su Luoluo felt that this place was rich in resources, looking as if it would grow many good things.

However, she had no time to worry about that now. Based on yesterday's experience, this place would be covered in thick fog at night. She and Xiao Ye had to take advantage of the time the fog dissipated to find a way out.

After eating the wild fruit, Su Luoluo prepared to stand up.

At that moment, Xiao Ye transformed into his snake form and appeared before her.

Su Luoluo stared at the scene, a bit dazed, not understanding what he wanted to do.

Xiao Ye flicked his tail and said, "Hurry up and sit on my back. Aren't you feeling unwell?"

Hearing this, Su Luoluo couldn't help but blush. However, thinking back to someone's 'evil deeds' yesterday, she felt it was only right for Xiao Ye to do this.

She lifted her leg and straddled him, sitting firmly on Xiao Ye's body.

Seeing that Su Luoluo was seated securely, Xiao Ye swayed his body and began to move forward.

This time, without Su Luoluo having to mention it, he didn't wiggle his body very fast, and Su Luoluo sat very steadily on top.

Sitting on the snake's back and looking at the endless forest, Su Luoluo frowned and asked, "Where do we go to get out of here?"

"I'm not sure either; we can only take it one step at a time."

Xiao Ye wished he could spend more time alone with Su Luoluo; as long as he was by her side, he felt happy no matter what.

Su Luoluo curled her lip upon hearing that. "Aren't you a Rank Five Beastman? How can you not even know how to get out?"

"I am a Rank Five Beastman, but I can't fly. How would I know the way? We can only take it one step at a time."

Su Luoluo thought for a moment. There was a river here, and looking at the terrain, the water should be flowing down from the mountain.

Since they had fallen from the mountain, if she followed the water source, she might be able to find an exit.

Thinking of this, she used her intent to sense nearby water sources and indeed found a spring flowing downward in one direction.

Su Luoluo pointed to that spot and said, "Go in that direction."

Xiao Ye's eyes dimmed slightly upon hearing her. He had originally wanted to stay down here with Su Luoluo for a few more days to live a shy and intimate life, but he hadn't expected her to find the exit so quickly.

Hearing Su Luoluo's words, Xiao Ye had no choice but to head in the direction she pointed.

Sitting on the snake's body, Su Luoluo looked around to see if there were any treasures.

Suddenly, she spotted a shimmering golden patch. Under the sunlight, those golden leaves were exceptionally dazzling.

Su Luoluo hurriedly patted Xiao Ye. "Stop quickly! I've found something good!"

Xiao Ye was a bit puzzled. Weren't those just some golden weeds in front of them?

What was so good about them?

Despite his thoughts, Xiao Ye obediently stopped.

After getting off Xiao Ye's back, Su Luoluo couldn't wait to run toward the place flashing with golden light.

Reaching the edge of the golden light, she plucked a handful of grains and rubbed them in her hand. After confirming there was white substance inside...

She looked excited. "Great! I've found wheat!"

And it was wild wheat, with such a large patch. If collected, it would be enough for her to eat for a long time.

She hadn't seen any in the Wild Kitchen before, and during her trips to the Red Land to make pottery and dig for salt, she hadn't found any traces of rice or wheat either. She had thought this place didn't have any.

She never expected to find it today by a stroke of luck.

She had long wanted to eat some grains. Eating meat every day made her feel like her body was never clean. It was no wonder Su Luoluo could grow so fat; she suspected it was all caused by eating all that meat.

Xiao Ye didn't understand why Su Luoluo was suddenly laughing at a pile of yellow grass. He had eaten this stuff before; it was very scratchy on the throat, and he didn't see what was so tasty about it.

Su Luoluo looked at everything before her and gave Xiao Ye a sweet smile. "Go on! Cut these wheat ears for me. When we get back, I'll make noodles for you all."

"Noodles? Didn't we eat ones made from corn before?" Xiao Ye was confused.

"These are much tastier than the ones made from corn," Su Luoluo said, shaking her head.

Hearing this, Xiao Ye quickly got to work.

Meanwhile, at the Salt Well Cave...

After the Beast Husbands and werewolves had been busy for a while, they noticed Su Luoluo was nowhere to be seen. Realizing Xiao Ye wasn't in the cave either, they began searching around the entrance of the salt cave.

But the twenty or so people searched a large area and found no sign of them.

Generally speaking, going out to relieve oneself shouldn't take this long.

Mo Xuan looked at the two who had disappeared at the same time, a strange expression appearing on his face.

He nudged Fu Feng's arm beside him and said, "Do you think those two are hiding somewhere, fooling around?"

Nan Tu's mouth twitched when he heard Fu Feng's words. With someone like Su Luoluo, if he wanted to have sex with her, would there be any need to hide?

Su Luoluo would probably be more than willing.

To his surprise, in the next moment, Fu Feng nodded and said through gritted teeth, "That Xiao Ye, I didn't expect that kid to be so sneaky."

Nan Tu: "..."

These two must be out of their minds.

Nan Tu was about to say something when Luan Ting, standing by the bushes, called out with a grave expression, "The grass here is fresh, and there are signs of a collapse. It looks like two people fell down from here."

Hearing this, the group walked toward Luan Ting. Mo Xuan regained his serious demeanor and carefully examined the bushes. Indeed, the grass looked like it had been accidentally stepped on by someone falling, and there was even a grass print of someone sitting down on their buttocks nearby.

With such a large butt print, who else could it be but Su Luoluo?

However, he said hesitantly, "It's quite possible for a fat female like Su Luoluo to fall, but it's impossible for Xiao Ye to fall too, right?"

Nan Tu scanned the area outside the bushes, found a snake scale, and said calmly, "It seems he really did fall down."

Fu Feng crossed his arms over his chest. "A Rank Five Beastman falling down... how embarrassing."

Luan Ting leaned over to look out. "This height isn't low. It's not impossible that he fell while trying to save Luoluo. Snake Beasts aren't like you birds who can fly; it's not strange for him to fall."

After saying that, he looked around. "We'll know once we go down and check."

Fu Feng looked down. "I'll go scout the way first."

With that, he spread his wings and flew down, but he returned before he was even halfway there.

Luan Ting was surprised to see him return so quickly. "Why are you back already?"

Fu Feng retracted his wings and said sheepishly, "It's all fog down there; I can't see anything at all."

Mo Xuan burst out laughing. "You were just mocking Xiao Ye, and now you're not doing any better yourself!"

Fu Feng glared fiercely at Mo Xuan. "Believe it or not, I won't make things easy for you either!"

The two were being far too noisy. Luan Ting glanced at them and said in a deep voice, "What are you arguing for? Let's find a way to find them first!"

Nan Tu listened intently for a moment and pointed down. "They should be fine. I hear the sound of water; there's likely a river below."

Mo Xuan looked at him. "Then what should we do?"

"Find a small path down; we'll go look for them."

"A path? It's all cliffs around here. Where's a path?"

Nan Tu pointed ahead. "There's a mountain stream over there. Following it down will lead to the riverbank."

Hearing this, the group began walking down.

It was fine at first, but the further down they went, the thicker the fog became. Fortunately, they had Nan Tu's Night Glow Pearl for light, so they could see clearly enough along the way.

They walked all night but found no trace of them.

After stopping to rest on the spot, they woke up to hear a burst of laughter.

The voice was familiar; it was Su Luoluo.

The group hurriedly rushed toward the sound of the laughter.

As they walked over, everyone was shocked.

Xiao Ye was holding Su Luoluo's chin, kissing her passionately.

The posture was a bit of an eyesore.
