Chapter 15: Level 3 Rock armor tortoise.

“Get moving. Hurry up and get your stuff.”

“Don’t move those useless things. Just take food, clothes…… with you.”

The hunting team persuaded everyone to move before it was even dawn.

“Bang, Bang, Bang!!!”

The hunting team knocked on the door of the wooden shed and started shouting without asking to come in.

“The Bloodbeard Bandits are going to attack us, so we’re going to take refuge in the Moon Lake Tribe.”

The members of the hunting team left after saying just one sentence.

Mino woke up, looked at the wolf skin on her body, and her heart warmed up.

“They’re quite early.”

She grinned and let out a sleepy yawn.

“Get up and have breakfast.” Mu Liang woke up rather early.

“When did you sleep last night?” Mino asked curiously.

When she slept last night, she saw that Mu Liang was not sleeping. He had been writing and drawing with charcoal by the fire pit.

Mino was still feeling shy, and she was wondering if she should let him sleep with her.

“Around midnight.” Mu Liang whispered while stirring the broth in the steel pot.

Today’s breakfast was stewed dried meat and soup.

“It smells good.” Mino wrinkled her nose and sniffed.

She came to the fire pit and looked at the boiling broth in the steel pot with her shining blue eyes.

Then, Mino frowned heartily and said, “Let me cook breakfast in the future.”

“What’s wrong?” Mu Liang froze.

“You cook too much. We should save some food.” Mino placed one hand on her waist, raised a finger, and wiggled it.

“Don’t worry. There’s enough dried meat for us to eat for twenty days.”

Mu Liang handed the metal lunch box full of food to Mino.

Last night, she insisted on eating the dried meat of the small lizard and she was about 30% full.

According to her thinking, everyone would be satisfied if they ate a third of their meal.

“This is too much. We should save some of it for the night.” Mino said with her mouth, but her hands couldn’t help but take the lunch box.

“We’ll eat the barbecue at night.” Mu Liang smirked.

“Awwww~~”

Mino put a spoonful of hot soup into her mouth, but it was so hot that she had to open her mouth and exhale.

“Be careful, it’s hot.” Mu Liang slowly started to eat his meal after blowing cold air.

“Delicious.” Mino swallowed the soup, and her blue eyes narrowed at once.

The rich smell of meat opened the taste, and the warm soup moistened the throat.

A mouthful of soup filled the young girl’s hungry stomach.

“It’s been a long, long time…… since I’ve had broth.” Mino pursed her lips, and her blue eyes were flooded with water mist.

In the past, when her sister was with her, they would often make broth.

“Drink it as much as you want in the future.” Mu Liang raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes.

Mino instantly shook her head and pouted. “That’s not okay. Having broth all the time is too extravagant.”

“We usually drink water, right?” Mu Liang asked gently.

“Hmm.” Mino sniffled her pretty nose.

“If you make broth, you will have water to drink and meat to eat.”

The corners of Mu Liang’s mouth curled up, and he asked softly, “Do you think it’s more worth it?”

“Huh? It seems to be the same thing.”

Mino tilted her head in confusion because she felt that something was wrong.

Mu Liang smiled, waved his hand, and urged her, “You should drink the broth while it’s hot. It won’t taste good if it becomes cold.”

“Mm.” Mino’s eyes curved into a smile as she drank the broth one gulp at a time.

The inside and outside of the wooden shed were like two different worlds.

While the two of them were leisurely eating breakfast, everyone else in the camp was hurriedly packing their things.

“So full.” Mino finally didn’t hold back and finished the whole broth.

She bit her lower lip and looked at the iron lunch box in his hand.

Mino originally wanted to save half of her food for the evening, but unexpectedly, she ate more and more.

One more bite and then no more, one more bite and then no more …… and then no more.

“How does it feel to have a full stomach?” Mu Liang gently asked.

“Very comfortable. It’s just…… too extravagant,” Mino said with slightly red cheeks.

The meal they had eaten was equivalent to ten small lizards.

“Don’t worry, let me take care of the food.” Mu Liang got up and touched her head.

She had saved his life, so he couldn’t let her stay hungry.

“……” Mino blushed. She opened her mouth to say something, but she did not know how to respond.

Mu Liang clenched his hand and pretended to be dissatisfied. “Take off the scarf. I can’t even touch your rabbit ears.”

“What the heck, I’m not a pet.” Mino pouted with dissatisfaction.

She hesitated for a moment and raised her hand to untie the cloth wrapped around her rabbit ears.

Mu Liang saw her action, and he couldn’t help but smile.

Mino saw his smile and her face turned red once again.

She twisted her head and tilted her chin proudly. “I just let my ears out to get some air, not for you to touch.”

“Yes, yes.” Mu Liang forced himself to hold back his smile.

“Hmph!” Mino snorted.

She shyly changed the topic and asked in anticipation, “Are we moving to Little Black Tortoise’s back today?”

She had been longing for a new home, a moving home.

“Let’s not rush to move. We haven’t even built a house yet.”

Mu Liang wanted to upgrade the rock armor tortoise to Level 3 before moving so that the tortoise’s back would be more spacious. Then he would be able to build a decent house.

Of course, he had to see the size of the level three rock armor tortoise before he could plan to build a house.

“So we’re going to build the house now?” Mino’s blue eyes glittered.

“Let’s go.” Mu Liang led the way outside the wooden shelter.

“Wait…… What about the stuff at home?” Mino thought of the items that the tricolored lizard had brought last night.

Everyone in the camp was leaving today, so someone might come here and steal something.

“I’ll tell Xiao Cai to stay at home.” Mu Liang pointed at the corner of the wooden shed.

Mino turned her head to look and saw a two-meter-long tricolored lizard emerging from stealth.

She nodded reassuringly. “Then I’m relieved.”

The two of them exited the wooden shed and went to the desolate wilderness by leaving the camp from a remote area.

At this time, the rock armor tortoise was foraging for food by hiding in the ground.
