The Whole Village Thrives After Adopting a Lucky Girl

Chapter 521: Previous Life Fairy World Extra Story Three:_3
 

However, those who robbed the Spiritual Medicine rarely killed people, so it should be safe for me to bring my daughter along.

With this thought in mind, Jiang Erlang happily agreed to his daughter’s request.

Little Yingbao was very excited to see her father’s agreement. She grabbed the Flying Rat and said, “Ratty is coming too.”

The Flying Rat is particularly good at finding Spirit Plants. With it, I can definitely collect a lot of delicious Spirit Fruits.

So, the villagers prepared for two days and then entered the forest together.

This time, Jiang Cheng, the eldest son, went along with Jiang Erlang instead of his father.

Jiang Erlang, carrying his daughter on his back and cutting through the forest, began his journey.

Little Yingbao’s face was covered with a cloth soaked in medicine, leaving only her eyes exposed.

This was because the forest was filled with all kinds of poisonous insects. A single bite could be life-threatening.

But the villagers had learned how to avoid these bugs. Each time they entered the forest, they brought a lot of Insect Repellents.

For instance, the clothes they wore and the boots on their feet had all been soaked in insect repellent. Hats made from medicinal herbs protected their heads and faces from venomous insects and snakes falling from trees.

After the group entered the depths of the forest, they spread out and moved forward. To prevent anyone from getting lost, they occasionally blew specially made whistles.

Yingbao, eyes wide open, scanned the surrounding plants intently. When she saw those flickering with spiritual light, she urged her father to go and dig them up.

Unconsciously, the medicine basket on Jiang Erlang’s waist was full. He urgently asked her daughter to put the plants with good quality into the storage bag.

The storage bag was hidden in Little Yingbao’s clothes, making it invisible to others.

What Jiang Erlang didn’t know was that Little Yingbao, finding the bag uncomfortable, had already put it into her Divine Mansion.

Of course, the Spirit Plants that her father had asked her to collect were also in her Divine Mansion.

When they rested in the evening, everyone silently compared the Spirit Plants they had collected. To their surprise, the baskets of Jiang Erlang, his brother, and Jiang Cheng were the fullest.

Especially Jiang Erlang, he had actually collected several Mid-level Spiritual Medicines.

Everyone was curious and asked, “Erlang, how come your luck is so good today?”

Many Mid-level Spiritual Medicines are good at disguising themselves, and some even have Demonic Bugs or Demonic Beasts guarding them. Collectors might get hurt by carelessness, or they might not recognize them at all. Therefore, for everyone, it was a fortune to safely collect two or three plants in an outing. There was no one like Jiang Erlang, who had collected several plants on the first day.

Jiang Erlang responded ambiguously to their inquiries with a smile, “Indeed, I was lucky today. I’m sure you’ll be lucky tomorrow.”

Seeing him being vague, the villagers didn’t question further. Instead, they started to prepare their sleeping places for the night.

Then they took out their dry food and began to eat, washing it down with water brought in bamboo tubes.

Yingbao took out a few buns from her storage bag and shared them with her father and others, hugging a bamboo tube to drink goat milk.

Of course, while she was doing all these, her father, uncle and cousin formed a circle around her, blocking the view of others.

After a full day’s hike, everyone was exhausted. After setting up a night watch schedule, everyone huddled together, falling asleep soundly.

They held their medicine baskets in their arms, covered themselves with specially made insect and beast-proof blankets, and huddled back to back.

Two people would take the first half of the night shift, and two others would take the second half.

Jiang Erlang and his brother took turns, with the older brother taking the first half of the night and Jiang Erlang the second.

Little Yingbao was sleeping soundly when suddenly she was awakened by a faint rustle. She opened her eyes alertly and a flash of golden light passed through them. She saw a group of crawling insects slowly moving closer.

These bugs were disgusting, but several of them had flickers of spiritual light in their bellies.

Yingbao’s eyes lit up and she immediately freed her hand from her father’s grasp, pointing at the bugs.

Several extremely thin ice spears flew out, instantly nailing those bugs to the ground.

The bugs made a squealing noise which quickly alerted the person on night watch duty.

“Not good! There’s trouble! Everyone, wake up!” Jiang Erlang immediately issued a warning. If it wasn’t for his daughter’s sudden action, he wouldn’t have noticed that they were surrounded by terrifying bugs.

“Light the torches!” an experienced villager urgently said.

In the forest, they did not light fires at night for fear of attracting nearby Demonic Beasts. But now, they had no other choice.

Everyone quickly lit their prepared torches, then formed a circle, back to back, and watched the surroundings vigilantly.

Under the glow of the torches, rows of dark long bugs all rose up their front halves, looking like horrifying black snakes. They strongly focused their gaze on the few dozen delicious humans around them as if they were about to pounce at the very next second.

“So many Demonic Bugs?” Everyone gasped, their legs and feet began to tremble.

Someone cursed in a low voice, “Damn it! Why did we encounter these things?” These kinds of Demonic Bugs were products of the Dark Canyon. Villagers had only seen them in posters in the city. Today was their first time seeing the real bugs, and they knew there was no escape.

A villager, almost scared to death, couldn’t help crying, “It’s over! We’re done for today!” His son was only three years old. If he died, how would such a small child and his mother survive?
