Making plans and executing them.
This was Ye Qing's favorite thing to do at the moment. At least this way, he could feel that he was living a fulfilling life.
After discussing with Zhao Ling what they might encounter during the process and what they should do after encountering it, the two of them got ready to set off.
Before leaving, the system's voice suddenly sounded in Ye Qing's mind.
" Congratulations to the host for triggering the mission…"
[Quest Title: Search for New Freshwater Resources]
[Mission Introduction: Although we found a fresh water source last time, there seem to be many ferocious animals nearby. It's a little dangerous. Should we try to find a new fresh water source?]
[Reward: 100 points]
Ye Qing was already used to the system's sudden mission. He sniffled and accepted the mission. He would not go against the points.
The last time he exchanged for an adventure suit, there was only one set, and the size was relatively large. In addition, Ye Qing did not have any clothes to change into, so this adventure suit naturally fell on Ye Qing's head.
This was a dark blue exploration suit, including hiking shoes. Other than not being able to prevent wild beasts from biting, it was quite suitable for use on the island.
It was waterproof and mosquito-proof, but it was a little airtight. If it wasn't for the fact that he was worried that his clothes would be torn by the thorns in the forest and he would only be naked, Ye Qing wouldn't have worn it at all.
After changing his clothes, he brought along Zhao Ling, called Little Black, and let Little Blue scout ahead. Ye Qing immediately felt like a general on an expedition.
The plan this time was similar to the last time. They were all looking for places where the mountains intersected.
However, he didn't dare to go in the same direction as last time. Ye Qing was worried that the short-faced bear was still there, so he chose a direction opposite to it.
Because they were worried about the danger, the two of them did not dare to go too deep. They only began to explore along the jungle near the coast.
The group of two people and one beast walked for almost the entire morning. They checked several places that Ye Qing thought would have water, but they did not find anything. The two of them were a little discouraged.
After all, they were already a little far from the cave. Even if they could really find a water source, it would be very troublesome to replenish the water source in the future.
The two of them sat down to rest and had lunch.
Ye Qing said after throwing a large piece of raw fish meat to Little Black and letting it play by itself.
"I don't think we can go on like this. Why don't we go deeper?”
Although most of the matters were decided by him, he still needed to discuss it with Zhao Ling. After all, this matter was risky. He couldn't take Zhao Ling's life as a joke.
Zhao Ling also knew what he was thinking, so she also became concerned and said,"We can go deeper, but I don't think we need to go any further.”
Ye Qing found it interesting and immediately said,""What do you plan to do?"
Zhao Ling said," What I mean is, if we want to go deeper, we can go back to the direction of the cave now. That way, if we find a water source, we will be closer to the cave. In addition, the deeper we go, the higher the terrain will be. If possible, we might be able to lead the water to the cave. That way, we won't have to work hard to get water in the future.”
"What you said is exactly what I wanted to say.”Ye Qing smiled and said," But the deeper you go, the more dangerous it will be. After all, everything on this island is unknown. So, you must follow me closely. If I tell you to run, you must run in the direction of the beach without hesitation. Do you understand?”
If it was just Ye Qing and Little Black, he wouldn't mind going a little deeper. However, now that Zhao Ling was here, he had to consider the issue of safety.
After all, after his body had been strengthened by the system, he could even kill Little Black. He did not have to worry about ordinary wild beasts. However, if he really encountered those that had to run, he would definitely let Zhao Ling run first. Otherwise, with her physical strength, she would definitely not be able to outrun him.
Moreover, once Zhao Ling ran away, Ye Qing would have no worries. This way, whether he fought or retreated, he would have one more choice.
Zhao Ling knew the seriousness of this matter and immediately nodded seriously.
Ye Qing had said this to her countless times since this morning.
She didn't feel impatient. Instead, she felt warm in her heart. This was because Ye Qing was worried about her.
After making up their minds, the two of them rested for a while before getting up and moving.
Ye Qing did some calculations. Although they had been moving through the forest, they had always maintained a distance of about one kilometer from the shore. This time, he planned to push another three kilometers in.
They were already very deep into the forest. If they still couldn't find water, then it might really be as Zhao Ling said. They would have to move again.
To them, the cave was just a place to live. Although the cave was excellent in all aspects, it was too far away from fresh water. If it was troublesome to get water every time, there was really no need to guard it.
The two of them kept an eye out for the situation around them as they slowly moved forward.
A few hours had passed without them realizing it. If they only counted the parallel distance, they were already very close to the cave.
Suddenly, Ye Qing stopped in his tracks.
Zhao Ling's expression immediately became nervous. She looked at Ye Qing and said,""What's wrong?"
Ye Qing's face revealed a delighted expression as he said,""Xiaolan found water."
When Zhao Ling heard this, she also looked around excitedly," Where is it? Where's Xiaolan?"
"Coo, coo…"
As they were talking, Little Blue flew out of the forest in front of them and circled above the two of them before stopping on Ye Qing's shoulder.
"Wow, Ye Qing, you're so amazing. You can see Xiaolan coming back in such dense leaves.”Zhao Ling called out happily.
After spending a few days together, she also believed that Xiaolan could understand human language. Before they set off, Ye Qing had instructed Xiaolan to come back and tell them if they found fresh water.
Zhao Ling thought that Little Blue's return was a signal. In fact, it was indeed a signal. However, Ye Qing knew that Little Blue did not find the water through this method but through another method.
Due to the existence of the system, there was a special connection between Little Blue and him. He could see what Little Blue saw with its eyes, and it was the kind that he could do as he pleased.
Previously, it was because Little Blue had used this special connection to transmit the image of finding water to his mind that he had stopped and ordered Little Blue to carefully observe the surrounding situation. Only after confirming that there was no danger did he let Little Blue come back.
Zhao Ling did not know about this. The news of finding fresh water had already made her so happy that she had forgotten that she was in a dangerous forest. She immediately waved her hand and let Little Blue lead the way. She followed them with three jumps at a time.
Ye Qing did not stop her. At least within a one-kilometer radius, he had asked Little Blue to scout. There were no other threatening animals. He quickly called Little Black to follow.
The fresh water that Xiaolan found was a spring. Although it was not big, it was valuable because it was running water. It flowed along the low ground towards the beach.
Moreover, judging from the moss around the spring water, the water was continuous all year round. It did not come out after the rain. It was definitely not a problem to be a fixed water source.
Ye Qing also noticed that there was a lot of clay beside the stream. This was the main material for making pottery. It seemed that the skill book he had obtained previously had room to be used again.
