nThe endless grassland seemed to reach into the horizon.

nAfter Adjutant Li finished speaking, he gave each of them a backpack.

n

n

nThere was water, food, a tent, and some tools for survival in the wilderness.

nThis was enough for 50 miles of wilderness trekking and exploration after entering the Floating Forest.

nThey were already well prepared.

nWang Che carried his backpack and weighed it. It was about 15 kilograms.

n

n

nWith the current quality of humans in the world, it was not considered heavy.

nFor these reserve Contract Soul Masters whose bodies had been strengthened by the life contract, it felt even lighter.

nAfter some thought, Wang Che stopped the green caterpillar rolling on the grass and planned to set off.

n“Wait, Student Wang Che, Adjutant Li said that it’s better to travel together with someone. Why don’t we go together? We’ll split the rewards equally.”

n

n

nThe tall, capable, and long-legged girl with an impressive figure, Cheng Cheng, said casually, “We can take care of each other.”

nWang Che was about to reject when the pretty girl walked up with a smile.

n“I don’t think so. Student Wang’s soul pet is a green caterpillar that eats leaves and grass. Your Golden Thorn Grass and the green caterpillar are not compatible. If you get together, it’s very easy to have conflicts.”

nThese words caused Cheng Cheng to frown. This logic was simply nonsense.

n“Why don’t you come with me? My name is Bai Youyou.”

nThe obedient-looking girl smiled and said, “My Rolling Rock Weasel can dig holes. When we go to the Floating Forest, we can easily find some treasures buried underground. I can even give up the rewards for the competition. How about I give them all to you?”

n

n

nHow rich and imposing!

nThe competition rewards were not bad.

nWang Che thought to himself, ‘It’s so troublesome to be too handsome.’

n“Ssss!”

nThe green caterpillar on the side chirped twice and looked at the Rolling Rock Weasel about the same age as it, as well as the Golden Thorn Grass on the other side.

nIt urged Wang Che twice, as if asking, ‘Who are you choosing? Don’t worry, I don’t mind.’

n“It’s so cute.”

nBai Youyou walked to the green caterpillar and plucked a leaf.

n

n

nShe fed it to the green caterpillar.

nThe green caterpillar sniffed and its eyes lit up. It pouted at Bai Youyou, “Ssss!”

nIt seemed to be saying: ‘This is it, this is good!’

nWang Che: “…”

nCheng Cheng frowned. She didn’t seem to be good with words and didn’t say anything.

nWang Che knocked the green caterpillar on the head.

nIt could only obediently crawl back.

n“Sorry…” Wang Che was about to reject them.

nAt this moment, the male student called Chen Fei also walked up and said, “Student Wang, why don’t we go together?”

nEh?

nSwoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

nImmediately, three gazes landed on Chen Fei.

nWang Che also looked at Chen Fei in surprise.

n

n

n‘Why?’

n‘A man like you is coming too?’

n‘What do you want?’

n‘Swordplay?’

n“Student Chen Fei, what are you thinking?” Bai Youyou subconsciously took a few steps back.

n“You misunderstand.” Chen Fei pushed up his glasses. There seemed to be no woman in his eyes, only the green caterpillar’s figure reflected in them. “I’m just very curious about this green caterpillar. Although the Enlightenment Cup isn’t very valuable, it’s still a beginner level soul pet competition.”

n“I can’t imagine a green caterpillar winning. This green caterpillar doesn’t look mutated.”

n“So, I want to go with Student Wang and observe this green caterpillar.”

n“As for the two of you, please go ahead.”

nSeriously…

nWang Che glanced at Chen Fei. This kid would achieve greatness in the future!

nThe green caterpillar looked at Chen Fei and the two girls, then immediately turned its head to the two girls.

nIt did not want to be observed and studied.

n“I’m used to being alone.” Wang Che smiled and said, “It’s not suitable to travel with others. I’m afraid I’ll delay you.”

n“It’s okay, I don’t mind,” Bai Youyou grinned.

n“I mind.” Wang Che’s expression was serious, “The wilderness is so dangerous, the green caterpillar will drag you down. I’m just bringing this child out to explore and broaden your horizons. I can’t delay your exploration and learning. As for the champion of the Enlightenment Cup, it was purely a fluke.”

nThen, Wang Che did not give them a chance to speak and immediately waved his hand.

nCarrying his backpack and the green caterpillar, he walked on the lush grass.

nThe three of them were left stunned.

nWang Che breathed in the air and looked at the blue sky. He was in a good mood.

n“Wu!”

nA deer came to Wang Che’s side. It sized him up and stumbled away.

nWild soul beasts were indeed very different from soul pets in the artificial forest.

nThis deer had coral-like antlers. It was not big and looked small and cute, possessing a gentle nature.

nIt was not aggressive either.

nThe difference was that soul pets in the wilderness were slightly healthier than those cultivated by people.

nMost of them had injuries on their bodies.

nHowever, the aura on its body was clearly stronger.

n“Ssss!” The green caterpillar sounded out.

nIt was saying that the deer was injured.

n“Continue moving forward.” Wang Che said.

nInjured soul beasts were very common, so Wang Che naturally could not care for them all.

nThere were too many soul beasts on the grassland.

nFortunately, most soul pets still had good intentions towards humans. As long as they didn’t actively attack, they wouldn’t interfere.

nSome soul pets with milder temperaments would take the initiative to approach.

nInsects, grass, flowers, animals, and all sorts of soul pets were things the green caterpillar had never seen before.

nIt was completely dazzled.

nAfter walking for less than ten kilometers, the sky had not turned dark yet.

nWang Che set up the tent and planned to rest for a while.

nAlong the way, he picked up many special plants and herbs.

nWith his experience, he should be able to make some simple medicine for use on the way.

nThere were no expensive recovery drugs in the backpack given by Adjutant Li.

nWhen Wang Che arrived, he did not buy any.

nThese things were too expensive, and Wang Che felt that he could handle things, so there was no need to buy them.

nHe also recalled the feeling when he first learned alchemy.

nThe grassland was rich in resources, although most of them were rather ordinary.

nOthers might not be able to discover the medicinal properties of these ordinary plants.

nMost of the medicines in this world were made from materials related to soul pets.

n“Alright, use the Raging Flame Strike now, but don’t charge. Stand in the pile of wood and start a fire. You have to control the temperature of the flames. Don’t let it be too hot or too small.” Wang Che said.

nWhile refining medicine, it could also train the green caterpillar’s control over the Raging Flame Strike.

nNaturally, this caterpillar had to be used to its limit.

nThe green caterpillar felt that it was a tool, but it still obeyed.

nBefore long, Wang Che refined more than ten pieces of ointment that could be applied externally as well as medicinal liquid that could heal injuries internally.

n“You can easily find a large amount of wild grass in the wilderness grassland. These wild grass contain extraordinary soul power and also contain a certain amount of medicinal properties… Although the effect of refining it is slightly inferior to those store-bought potions, the advantage is in the quantity and convenience…”

nAfter Wang Che refined the medicinal herbs, he used a few milk pine leaves to feed the green caterpillar and let the little guy play on the grassland for a while.

n“Don’t go too far.”

nThe green caterpillar enjoyed playing on the grassland.

nIts favorite thing was to lie on the grassland and roll around.

nIt flattened clusters of grass and then rolled around.
