After inquiring about the news, Jiang Bai had an idea of the situation in Shuitian Jungle.
Generally speaking, there is no big danger, but they still need to prevent inhaling too many spores, lest a mushroom really takes root in their stomach.
Early the next morning, Jiang Bai rented a beast of burden.
Pack animals are large in size. Although most of them are domesticated as transportation tools, there are also many ingenious businessmen who put saddles on their backs and use them as a means of transportation.
However, this kind of transportation is slow and the riding experience is not as good as that of horses.
The two of them sat on the back of the beast of burden. The huge beast of burden dragged the two of them effortlessly, and they could only drive slowly towards the water and sky jungle.
"This beast of burden is quite big, but its speed is really too slow."
Hutao sat on the back of the beast of burden, her body swaying as the beast of burden moved forward slowly.
The two ponytails she tied up high swayed as her body swayed. There was no sparkle in her eyes, and the word "boring" was written on her entire face.
Jiang Bai sat behind him and held her waist to prevent her from falling.
"At least a little faster than us walking."
Pack animals are large, and one step is equivalent to two steps for them, which is definitely more comfortable than walking for them.
"But it's too slow. I might as well find a tiger with long sideburns to ride over."
Hu Tao muttered and simply fell into Jiang Bai's arms like he was boneless.
She leaned her head on Jiang Bai's shoulder and looked at the sky in boredom.
Jiang Bai stretched out his hand to smooth her hair, and his eyes suddenly turned.
"Master, how about making a bet for us?"
"What bet?" Hutao became a little more interested.
"If I have a way to make the beast of burden run, how about the hall master agreeing to my request?"
"I don't want to! Don't even think about it, you must win!"
Hu Tao crossed her chest with her hands and puffed up her cheeks. Who would fall for a bet where the result could be seen at a glance?
"Okay, then, Hall Master, what do you want to bet on?"
"If I don't bet with you, this guy must have no good intentions."
Jiang Bai shouted injustice, "It's unfair! Am I that kind of person?"
"Don't doubt it, you are it!"
"Since you said so, Hall Master, I can only show Mr. Tang my skills."
Jiang Bai suddenly took out a fishing rod. On the fishing rod hung carrots that the camel beast liked to eat.
"Hey, look at my carrot fishing rod! Let's run, beast of burden!"
Looking at the carrot in front of him, the beast of burden suddenly accelerated. Hutao was caught off guard and fell onto Jiang Bai due to inertia.
The running speed of the beast of burden was no worse than that of the high-speed running horse. Hu Tao was frightened to see it.
"We're going to hit a tree, we're going to hit a tree! Adjust the direction quickly!"
"There's a ditch over there!"
"A wild boar is coming! Get out of the way!"
"Don't run into the pile of mushrooms!"
The beast of burden ran very fast, but it was completely unable to control its direction, and the carrot on the fishing rod swayed out of Jiang Bai's control, so that they completely broke away from the road and plunged into the forest.
Half an hour later, Hutao got off the beast of burden and vomited while holding on to a big tree.
The ride was so bumpy that she lost all the food she had eaten last night.
The beast of burden fell to the ground to pant out of exhaustion. The carrot fell in front of it, and it had no strength to eat it.
Jiang Bai scratched his head and showed an innocent smile.
"I don't want to move anymore..."
Hutao rubbed her sore buttocks and lay down on the grass without moving.
Tired.
"Lord, we are in the forest now and seem to be lost."
There are dense trees and low shrubs all around. Looking up, you can only see Tianqiong covered by the tree canopy.
"Fly up and take a look, and you'll know where it is."
With Jiang Bai here, Hu Tao is really not afraid of getting lost.
After all, being able to fly is better than anything else.
Jiang Bai flew to the top of the tree crown and took a look, then flew back.
"We have reached the outskirts of the Water and Sky Jungle. If we walk a little further in, we can see those very tall trees, but it looks like it's going to rain."
As soon as Jiang Bai finished speaking, the rain suddenly fell down.
Hutao stood up from the ground with a kick and quickly took out a big umbrella and opened it.
"It's raining too fast..."
Jiang Bai squeezed under Hutao's umbrella. Although he already knew that it rained very frequently here, it was too exaggerated to say that it would rain.
Although I held an umbrella, the splashing raindrops quickly wet my shoes and socks, making them cool.
The beast of burden lying on the ground got up, took a carrot into his mouth, shook the hair on his back, and ran into a big tree hole to hide from the rain.
Jiang Baima followed suit and squeezed into the tree hole together.
Fortunately, the tree hole was big enough, and there was no sign of thunder in the sky, otherwise it would have been a trap.
"Fortunately there was no thunder, otherwise there would be no place to hide in this forest..." Jiang Bai sighed.
The next moment, a thunder exploded in the sky. Hutao was so frightened that he quickly hugged his head to avoid being hit.
Jiang Bai twitched the corner of his mouth and quickly dispersed the thunder elements gathered in the sky.
The rain fell quickly and stopped quickly, and the forest soon returned to tranquility.
"The shoes are all wet..."
Walking out of the somewhat dim tree hole, looking at the completely wet shoes, Hu Tao supported Jiang Bai and took off his shoes and socks, revealing his white feet.
The forest was all wet now, so she simply didn't bother to put on any more clothes. She rolled up her trousers and stepped on the ground with her bare feet.
Moss, dead leaves, dust, and mud suddenly stained her white feet, which made Jiang Bai's eyebrows jump.
"The ground is full of dead leaves, be careful not to step on sharp thorns or anything..."
Jiang Bai was wearing leather boots, which were not so easy to get wet. He was carrying Hu Tao's shoes and walking behind Hu Tao, followed by a beast of burden.
Jiang Bai's mouth was really smart today. Just after saying this, Hu Tao's sole was scratched by a sharp thorn in less than two minutes, and blood gushed out.
"Hiss~"
A burst of pain came over, and Hu Tao quickly raised his feet.
When I looked down, I saw a thorn hidden among the fallen leaves, with drops of blood still hanging on the sharp thorn.
Jiang Bai gave himself a mouthful. What kind of crow's mouth is he today?
Throwing the wet shoes and socks on the back of the beast of burden, Jiang Bai picked up Hutao by the handle and found a relatively open place to clean her wounds.
The clean water was condensed by Gudong, and Jiang Bai held Hu Tao's feet to clean her.
Hutao, who was sitting on the chair, shrank his feet behind him and his face was a little red.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Bai looked over doubtfully.
Hutao avoided his gaze and looked elsewhere.
"It's a little itchy..."
It's really strange that I'm not used to it.
"I'll be gentle."
Jiang Bai lowered his head to clean her wound.
He first wiped off the mud near the wound with a handkerchief, and then carefully washed away the mud stuck to his feet to prevent sewage from flowing into the wound.
He did it very seriously, as if he were dealing with a rare treasure.
