We are finally almost there, and now I am not in a hurry.
For Aoki and the others who have been driving all the way, the most important thing now is to get lunch first, and then let Murkrow and Slowpoke take a rest and recover their strength.
I found a relatively wide and huge rock and took out all the tools one by one.
Although it is a stone forest, it is not just stones, but mainly stones. On the contrary, there are more dead grass and dry straw on the ground than in the forest.
After lighting the fire, he made a simple stove using the stones lying around, then placed a small pot on it and carefully poured the lake water that had been collected in advance into the pot.
When in the wild, it is best not to drink raw water. Even if the water looks clean, no one can tell how many bacteria it contains.
Elves like Dark Crow and Slowpoke can be fine because their bodies and resistance are much stronger than humans, but Aoki can't.
Once you become sick due to drinking raw water, it will still be a very dangerous thing in the wild without the correct medicine.
Aoki did not expect that while surviving in the wild, he was not injured due to battle, but instead became sick due to these details of life.
While the water was boiling, he took out the food for Murkrow and Slowpoke. In addition to the always-prepared energy cubes, Murkrow also had a pre-caught hare, and Slowpoke was his favorite fish.
It was Aoki who kept them in their mouths. Originally, Slowpoke would eat raw fish with relish, but after eating Aoki's grilled fish and barbecue, they really disdained those raw foods.
The same goes for Dark Crow. Although there are enough energy cubes to replenish each meal, in order to satisfy his appetite, some meat must be added to each meal to satisfy him.
With the active cooperation of Slowpoke, a hare and five large fish as thick as arms were cleaned, and various internal organs and blood were covered with mud.
This is the wilderness, and Aoki doesn't want a large number of elves attracted by the smell of blood to appear while eating.
After the water boiled, he filled it with another bottle. This was Aoki's drinking water for the whole afternoon.
Then he started grilling skillfully, skillfully brushing oil, rolling, and sprinkling seasonings. With the aroma overflowing, he completed the food preparation.
Aoki only needed a rabbit leg and half a fish, which was enough to eat, and the rest belonged to Murkrow and Slowpoke.
The two of them finished their lunch quickly while devouring their food. After taking a short lunch break, they set out on the road again.
Walking through the stone forest is much more comfortable than walking in the woods, although there are towering stone pillars everywhere and uneven roads on the ground.
But compared to the overgrown weeds in the forest, the road is covered with weeds, so you have to hold back a little with each step to avoid stepping directly into the pit. In the stone forest, every foothold is visible, so there is no need to worry about missing the step.
.
The most important point is that the elves all over the stone forest are small fist stones. Although there are many of them, there is always one when you pass by. However, the small fist stones have a gentle personality and will generally ignore you as long as you don't step on them. Moreover,
Little Quanshi likes to be quiet, and he often stands among the piles of stones for an entire afternoon.
The level of the small fist stones in the stone forest is generally not high. Aoki has not seen one with a level above level 20 all the way here. And the evolved form of the small fist stone, Rumble Rock, has never been seen by Aoki.
Because the road was easy to walk and there were no elves that occasionally came out to attack, Qingmu walked very fast. In only half an hour, he passed through half of the stone forest. If he continued at this speed, he would reach the mission location very quickly.
However, things often backfire because Aoki and the others are blocked by an elf. It's not that he deliberately wants to block Aoki's progress, it's entirely because of his huge size that he only blocks the only way.
The elf blocking the road is a huge rock snake.

This big rock snake was resting on a boulder, but it blocked a road. If you want to pass, you have to crawl over his body.
Although the big rock snake is not a vicious elf, if Aoki and the others were allowed to crawl over him, it would definitely offend the big rock snake.
And if we take a detour, looking at the endless stone walls on both sides, we don’t know how far we need to walk.
Aoki smiled bitterly and murmured, "It's a bit difficult to deal with a level 30 rock snake."
The resources in the stone forest are relatively poor, so there are no powerful ethnic groups to occupy such a large area.
There are only small fist stones and big rock snakes, which have no big requirements for other resources. As long as there are mineral-rich stones, they are their favorites, and the most abundant ones in the stone forest are stones.
However, judging from the walk along the way, the grade of the Little Fist Stone is not high. The stones here should not be rich in minerals, otherwise the grade of the Little Fist Stone would not be only this low.
But what's going on with the big rock snake in front of me, which is as high as level 30?
Looking again at the big rock snake lying there, basking in the sun comfortably, Aoki's eyes suddenly lit up and he thought of a way.
"Slowpoke, face the location of the big rock snake and use Rainmaker!" That's right, it's Slowpoke's genetic skill, Rainmaker.
Slowpoke nodded, opened its mouth slightly, and made a murmuring sound with a unique melody.
As Slowpoke murmured, traces of black clouds gradually appeared in the sky, gathering on the head of the big rock snake.
"Mo?" The big rock snake, which was enjoying the sunshine comfortably, suddenly felt the temperature of its body drop, and its squinted eyes also felt the disappearance of the light.
He opened his eyes strangely, only to see that the originally fiery sun suddenly disappeared, and a black cloud suddenly appeared above his head.
Seeing that the rain in the black clouds was about to fall, the big rock snake looked around suspiciously and found nothing suspicious. However, the dark clouds above his head were obviously directed at him, because they were dozens of meters away.
, it’s still sunny.
The Big Rock Snake has a huge body, but is very simple and honest in character. He has a small brain capacity and does not have many ideas.
If I really can't find anyone else, I can only give up.
When the first drop of rain fell on him, the reluctant Big Rock Snake finally moved his body.
Although the place where he was staying now was his favorite place to bask in the sun, and he had become accustomed to lying there over the years, but for the big rock snake, which was four times weaker than water, rain was still more annoying to him.
The culprits Aoki and Slowpoke, who were hiding behind the stone pillar, watched the big rock snake run away quickly after the rain fell.
As the rumbling sound of friction between rocks gradually faded away, the big rock snake left his favorite position, and the road that was originally blocked was also exposed.
Soon, the big rock snake disappeared, and Aoki asked Slowpoke to stop praying for rain. The dark clouds quickly dissipated, and the sun shone again. Only the small puddles on the ground and among the rocks explained what had just happened.
.
After waiting for a few minutes, with no sign of the Big Rock Snake coming back, Aoki walked over with Dark Crow and Slowpoke with confidence.
I saw a road between the originally towering cliffs, large enough for three people to pass side by side. The road went straight into the sky, forming a scene of a line of sky. The previous big rock snake was lying at the entrance of this line of sky.
As soon as I walked into Xiantiantian, the original warm feeling disappeared instantly, and there was a kind of coldness on my face, just like standing in front of the refrigerator in summer.
The air in the sky is also very dry, and the entire environment is cold and dry.
As we go deeper, there is less and less life around us, not even a single weed.
Think about it, there is no sun all year round here, the air is cold and dry, and even rain does not often come in. Even a plant with strong survival like moss needs at least water.
Abruptly, a third of the way to the rock wall of the sky, a huge cave entrance appeared. The entire cave entrance was more than two meters high and three people wide. Looking from the outside, it was pitch black inside.
