Chapter 2322 Love At First Sight (1)
When the white fox clan leader saw this, he did not forget to nod in satisfaction at his underlings. Then, one of the White foxes tactfully brought out a reclining chair and invited their clan leader to rest on it.
"Little three, little four, the old leopard and those humans are not here yet? This speed is too slow!" After lying down, the white fox clan leader asked the two white foxes who were serving beside her.
"Not yet! Those humans are too weak and need to rest for a long time after walking a few steps. So, according to this subordinate"s guess, they won"t be able to arrive in a short time. Why don"t King take a short nap?" A Fox said with a fawning expression.
What it meant by Leng ruoxue and the rest being too weak and needing to rest after every few steps was that Leng ruoxue and the rest were collecting herbs and admiring the scenery along the way. Therefore, it was naturally impossible for them to reach the white fox clan"s territory too quickly. Of course, they were also unaware that the white fox clan"s clan head was anxiously waiting for them!
However, if Leng ruoxue knew that the white fox clan leader had been waiting for them anxiously, she would most likely ask,"why are you in such a hurry?" Was he in a hurry to die?
Leng ruoxue and the rest were not in a hurry, forming a stark contrast with the white fox clan leader"s anxiety. However, the white fox clan leader would not show it on his face. Otherwise, if the clan members knew, where would his dignity as the leader of a Fox be?
Therefore, after pondering for a while, the white fox clan leader nodded and said,""Then I"ll take a nap! Wake me up immediately when they arrive!"
Little three and little four, who were the two white foxes serving the white fox clan leader, hurriedly nodded their heads. Then, the white fox clan"s foxes gathered around their clan leader and waited for Leng ruoxue and the rest under the scorching sun.
When Leng ruoxue and the rest entered the floating clouds mountain, it was still early in the morning. That was also the time when the herbs in the forest were the freshest. Many of the herbs still had clear dewdrops on them. There were also many alchemists in their group. Hence, when they saw these herbs, it was as if they were seeing their family.
Although the herbs they saw along the way were only ordinary herbs, the amount of ordinary herbs used during alchemy was often the highest. Therefore, as alchemists, Jiang Ning and the others consciously bent down to collect these amiable herbs.
When the others saw this, they did not urge them to hurry up. Instead, they helped to collect as usual. However, as the guide, old leopard was definitely not used to this situation. Seeing everyone bending down to pull the "weeds" from the ground, old leopard was all kinds of restless!
Yes! The medicinal herbs in the eyes of the crowd were like weeds in the eyes of the old leopard and the other beasts. They had no use at all. Therefore, it could not understand Leng ruoxue and the others. They were not treasures, why did they need to mobilize all of them? Wantonly collecting? Could it be that these people came here to pull out the gra.s.s?
Old leopard had not forgotten the purpose of their trip, but Leng ruoxue and the others had obviously forgotten.
For a moment, the old leopard was extremely depressed. His face was full of sorrow. Occasionally, he would sigh and steal a glance at Leng ruoxue and the others with his resentful eyes. However, Leng ruoxue and the others were in the mood to collect herbs, so his expression was a waste.
By the time Leng ruoxue and the rest had collected most of the medicinal herbs along the way, the sky had already turned dark.
She looked at the moon that hung shyly in the sky and heard the howls of the beasts from the forest. Leng ruoxue asked for everyone"s opinion,""Should we continue or rest for the night and set off tomorrow morning?"
"Tomorrow morning! It"s dark now, and if we come across more herbs on the road, it"ll be a problem to collect them." Jiang Ning was the first to express his thoughts. He was a man who was closer to herbs than to his own father. He would never allow a man to not collect herbs when he saw them, even if they were just ordinary herbs. Moreover, he had a great time collecting herbs along the way today. It should be known that he would not dare to step into a place where many beasts gathered. Even if he knew that this place had not been harvested and there were many herbs here, he would not come here for safety reasons.
However, being with Leng ruoxue and the rest today, his safety had increased greatly. Hence, he was definitely not willing to let go of such an opportunity. Furthermore, many beasts only recognized natural treasures and would not care about ordinary herbs at all. Hence, this forest had become a paradise for ordinary herbs. As an Alchemist who had a greater demand for ordinary herbs, it was too difficult to make him give up after seeing what he needed.
Most importantly, these herbs didn"t belong to anyone. They only needed to spend some manpower and resources to collect them. As a result, Jiang Ning had completely forgotten the purpose of his visit. However, he had originally come here with the intention of watching the show. So, it was normal for him to forget the main purpose! And now, collecting all the herbs he encountered along the way had become his top priority. Therefore, he insisted on resting for the night and leaving tomorrow morning.
After hearing what Jiang Ning said, old leopard wanted to tell him that they didn"t come here to pick herbs. It was a serious matter. Don"t forget what you"re here for, alright? However, when it saw that everyone present had nodded in agreement, it could only keep the cry in its heart back into its stomach.
Although it didn"t want to admit it, it wasn"t worth much in the eyes of these people. After a moment of worry, old leopard, who had a good mentality, had no choice but to accept this fact.
It seemed that it needed to get used to these people"s slow pace. Old leopard thought to himself.
They rested for a night. The next morning, Leng ruoxue and the others continued on their journey after breakfast. They still treated collecting the herbs they found along the way as a major task. Old leopard was helpless about this, but he slowly got used to it.
Later on, influenced by Leng ruoxue and the others, old leopard even took the initiative to lead them to the areas with more weeds. Leng ruoxue and the others naturally had a good harvest, but it had been more than ten days when they arrived at the white fox clan"s territory.
Standing at the edge of the white fox tribe"s territory, the old leopard was ashamed. It would have taken less than a day to reach the white fox tribe"s territory, but under his guidance, they had walked for more than ten days. It was not because they had lost their way, but on purpose. Old leopard couldn"t help covering his face with his hands when he saw this.
Those who didn"t know would definitely think that it was so senile that it couldn"t even find the white fox tribe"s territory. But in reality, it was even more wronged than Dou E!
"Chief leopard, haven"t we arrived at the white fox tribe"s territory? Why aren"t you going in? Or do I need you to give a roar and send a message to the white fox race?" Leng ruoxue looked at old leopard, who was standing there in a daze, and asked with a puzzled expression.
"..." If he roared, it would be a blatant provocation! The old leopard said. However, they seemed to be here to provoke him!
"Little girl," old leopard said after some thought,"I think we"d better go in directly!" The white fox Tribe must have received news of their arrival long ago, so there was no need for them to put on an act.
