Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 517: Chapter 508: Great Leader 26

Yan Shuangshuang was itching with curiosity due to the attitude of the Hunting Team and her Father Tie, constantly guessing in her mind. Then, she left the cave with the Hunting Team, carrying her backpack, heading in a direction completely different from the usual hunting routes.

All the way, Yan Shuangshuang suppressed her curiosity and followed behind the Hunting Team, running. It seemed like this time, the Hunting Team was going quite far. They crossed vast mountain forests, and by evening, they entered an expansive grassland!

The endless grassland was a scenery different from the mountains and forests, vast and boundless. Of course, there were also rich, diverse kinds of animals on the grassland. At least Yan Shuangshuang saw two types that looked very much like sheep and cattle, but they were huge, robust, and seemed quite formidable!

The strength in this world cannot be measured by whether an animal eats meat or not. For example, the Earth King Beast, though it eats grass and has a gentle temperament, is called the Earth King Beast because it’s the king on land—no animal dares to challenge it.

The grassland is very dangerous at both night and day, with groups of powerful prairie wolves and lions that prefer to act in packs.

With incredible agility and having miraculously resolved endurance issues, massive strength, and expertise in concealing their presence, cheetahs are a deadly danger to the Hunting Team. Soaring in the sky, giant eagles with wings spreading to cover the sun, each one could bring lethal danger to the Hunters.

Therefore, once the Hunters enter the grassland, their speed reduces further, and they become extremely cautious, resting as soon as night falls and assigning a portion of people to keep watch, ensuring there’s always someone monitoring the various dangers around.

The next day, everyone got up early, quickly eating dried meat and the brought White Stone Fruit, then continued their journey. Like this, they traveled continuously for four days, until Yan Shuangshuang followed the Hunting Team to arrive beside a shimmering large lake!

It was called a large lake because it was on land. In fact, this lake was vast and boundless, with no visible end at first glance. If not for the fact that the Hunters called this place a large lake and there was no beach at the shore, Yan Shuangshuang might have believed it was an inland sea! It was truly that big!

After reaching the lakeside, everyone set up camp. Even though they’d been running for several days, with poor sleep and scanty meals, the people in the Hunting Team were peculiarly high-spirited, always smiling with seemingly great moods.

There were many shallow pools by the large lake, and since everyone’s bodies were dirty from the journey due to a lack of time for washing up, they bathed in a small pool at the lakeshore. Yan Shuangshuang took Feicao a little further, hiding behind a large rock to clean her body.

While bathing, Yan Shuangshuang secretly asked Feicao—who had been following her closely recently—what exactly they came here for. Feicao smiled mysteriously, refusing to tell, only saying for Yan Shuangshuang to wait a bit, that she’d soon know what everyone was doing here.

With this curiosity, Yan Shuangshuang waited until evening, when everyone finished eating. Since they didn’t plan to keep traveling, this time, they lit a fire, grilled some meat, and boiled hot water. After eating, everyone held warm cups of water, sipping in the slightly cool weather.

After dinner, when night fell, everyone stayed together chatting enthusiastically, with no one intending to go to sleep.

However, Yan Shuangshuang felt drowsy, with her biological clock long conditioned to sleep once night came.

Now, with the sun long gone and the sky filled with stars, such a galaxy scene was one Yan Shuangshuang never tired of and made sure to watch each night, with today being no exception.

Just as Yan Shuangshuang planned to fall asleep admiring the starry sky, she was pulled up by Feicao and her Father Tie, who smiled proudly at her and said, ”Stop looking at the stars up there, look in front of you. This is a rare sight you can’t see in the caves!”

Yan Shuangshuang looked at the lake her father pointed to, and her eyes widened in awe at the scene before her! Had the stars in the sky fallen to the Mortal World? It was too beautiful!

The lake in front turned inky like the night sky, reflecting the myriad stars above. Countless fireflies danced elegantly upon the lake and among the lakeside grasses.

What shocked Yan Shuangshuang the most were the dense patches of soft glowing white dots on the lake’s surface and the lakeside grasslands.

These glowing spots combined to form starry rivers spreading across the ground, fantastically beautiful as if not of the Mortal World!

Yan Shuangshuang felt her impoverished vocabulary couldn’t describe a fraction of this stunning scene. If she had to say, it’s as though the heavenly galaxy had come down to her, within reachable distance!

Unconsciously, Yan Shuangshuang stepped carefully into this incredibly beautiful starry river. Instantly, she was surrounded by the star-like glowing dots, as if enveloped in a dreamy world!

So beautiful! Truly so beautiful! With a smile on her face, Yan Shuangshuang gently reached out her hand. Countless fireflies landed on her palm, her hair, her clothes, as if she had plucked stars to adorn herself.

At that moment, Yan Shuangshuang suddenly missed Earth’s camera greatly. If only she could take a picture to preserve the beauty of this moment!

While Yan Shuangshuang was engrossed in the scene, the Hunters had already rolled up their sleeves, starting to gather the bright, glittering things from the lake, tossing them into their backpacks!

Yan Shuangshuang paused, walking over to Father Tie and asked curiously, ”Father, what are you gathering these shiny things for?”

Tie, full of smiles, tossed the shiny round objects into his backpack and said to Yan Shuangshuang, ”These are good things, seeds from a plant that only grows in the lake. We call them Bright Light Seeds.”

”These Bright Light Seeds can keep glowing for several seasons, and they only float to the surface at night. We came here to bring these back so when placed inside the caves, they will emit a bright light.”

”In the caves, it’s fine when it’s warm since at least the entrance is bright, but it’s about to become the cold season. Every year when it gets cold, the tribe seals the cave entrance, leaving only ventilation holes. At that time, the inside of the cave is pitch black and very dark. With these Bright Light Seeds for illumination, the cave will no longer be dark.”
