Chapter 305 The Cold Marshal Is Not Cold 19

As he approached the source of the sound, Chao Yao slowed down and looked around carefully.

I saw a contestant being chased by a huge lizard-like beast. The beast had a huge body, and its scales were flashing with strange light. The hot air from its mouth seemed to ignite the air.

The contestants ran in a panic, their faces full of fear and helplessness.

Chao Yao took a deep breath, her eyes became firm. She quickly took out a stun gun from her backpack, aimed at the beast's eyes, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

A blue electric current instantly hit the beast's eyes. It roared in pain, stopped chasing, and turned its anger towards Chao Yao.

Chao Yao did not retreat. She moved her body flexibly to avoid the beast's attacks, while constantly attacking its weak points with the electric gun.

After a fierce fight, the beast finally couldn't bear it anymore and turned around and fled into the depths of the forest.

Chaoyao breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the collapsed contestant. "Are you okay?"

The contestant was still in shock and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you... Thank you, if it weren't for you, I would..."

Chao Yao patted his shoulder and said, "It's okay. Cheer up quickly. The game is still going on."

The contestant was panting heavily, his face was as pale as paper, and he tightly grasped the corner of Chao Yao's clothes with both hands. He said anxiously with a trembling voice: "Chao Yao, I know you, an SSS-level person! My name is Lin Yu, I come from the Lin family, and I have some influence in the interstellar world. I have been raised by my family since I was a child, and I have never seen such a scene!"

"As soon as I landed, I encountered a huge monster with sharp fangs. Its eyes were red, like burning charcoal, staring at me intently, and the fishy smell from its mouth almost made me faint. Every time it took a step, the ground trembled, and I felt like my heart was going to jump out of my throat."

"I ran so hard that my legs became weak and I even lost one of my shoes. Please, don't leave me. I was really scared just now, and I feel safer with you. Just let me follow you. With my family background, I will definitely not treat you unfairly if there is any benefit in the future."

Chao Yao frowned and refused decisively: "No, Lin Yu. This is a competition, everyone has to rely on their own abilities. I, Chao Yao, have always been independent and I hate relying on others or being relied on by others."

Lin Yu did not give up and continued to pester Chao Yao: "Chao Yao, I know this is a competition, but the scene just now really scared me. I promise not to hold you back, and I can also provide you with material support. My family has plenty of resources, as long as we work together, we will definitely be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Chao Yao stopped and looked at him seriously, his eyes firm and sharp: "Lin Yu, this is a competition about personal honor and ability, you can't win it by relying on family resources. I, Chao Yao, only believe in my own strength and will not take such shortcuts."

Lin Yu followed closely behind Chao Yao with a flattering look on his face: "Chao Yao, please be kind. I really can't go on alone. If I encounter danger again, I will definitely be finished. You are so powerful, it won't make any difference if I join you. Maybe I can even help you."

Chao Yao quickened her pace, trying to shake him off, and said firmly: "Don't follow me! I, Chao Yao, always do things cleanly and efficiently. I don't like to drag things out, and I don't want to be entangled by you like this."

Lin Yu still refused to give in, and kept muttering: "Chaoyao, please, just take me with you. I swear, I will follow your instructions in everything."

No matter how Chao Yao refused, Lin Yu was like a piece of taffy, following her insistently, making Chao Yao feel very helpless.

In the end, Lin Yu still insisted on sticking to Chao Yao, and Chao Yao had no choice but to temporarily allow him to follow him.

The two of them walked carefully in the forest. The tall trees around them blocked out the sun, and only a few rays of sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves, creating mottled light and shadows.

The ground was covered with thick fallen leaves, and every step made a slight sound.

Their eyes are like scanners, each paying attention to the materials they need.

Chao Yao suddenly stopped and fixed his eyes on a plant with jagged leaves that emitted weak energy fluctuations. He was secretly delighted: "Finally found it."

She collected them quickly and skillfully and put them into her space button. Lin Yu came over curiously and said to Chao Yao lightly: "This is what I need, don't ask more questions." At this time, a breeze blew by, and the leaves rustled.

Lin Yu also shouted excitedly not far away: "Chaoyao, I found the 'Dark Energy Fruit', which is an urgently needed material for my potion. Look at this fruit, it is shiny black, and it must contain powerful energy."

After saying that, he couldn't wait to put on protective gloves, fearing that he would be pricked by the sharp thorns on the fruit, and then picked the dark energy fruit from the branch little by little.

From time to time, the chirping sounds of unknown insects could be heard from the surrounding grass.

Ugh!

He is really the stupid son of a landlord!

Chao Yao ignored him and continued to concentrate on finding his target.

Lin Yu followed closely behind her, looking left and right, his expression still nervous, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

Mottled light and shadows flickered on his face.

After a while, Chao Yao saw a small tree with blue fruits. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she picked them quickly without making a sound.

Lin Yu came closer and asked curiously, "What is this?"

Chao Yao rolled his eyes at him and said, "It's none of your business. Just do your own thing." At this moment, a colorful bird flew over their heads.

Lin Yu also made a new discovery at this time. He danced with joy and shouted: "Chaoyao, I saw the 'Tough Silk Rattan'. This is my treasure. Look at this rattan. It is very flexible and will definitely be of great use."

Then he carefully took out the cutting tool, and separated the tough vine from the trunk bit by bit, and put it away. The stream next to it gurgled, and the sound of water was crisp.

As they walked, they came to a small stream. Chao Yao found a kind of water grass with thick roots by the stream. He was delighted and hurried to collect it.

Lin Yu couldn't help but ask, "Is this important to you?"

Chao Yao frowned and replied, "Stop talking nonsense." The breeze blew across the water, creating ripples.

This time, Lin Yu also found the "Phantom Light Flower" that he had been dreaming about. He was so excited that his voice trembled: "Look, I found the Phantom Light Flower! The light of this flower is so charming, it will definitely make my potion shine."

At this time, Lin Yu pointed to a bunch of colorful flowers and asked, "Chaoyao, can we collect this?"

He turned his head to look at Yao, and answered seriously with a serious expression: "That is the 'poison flower', which is extremely poisonous and must not be collected. Don't touch it carelessly, or you will be in trouble if you accidentally get the poison on you."

The two of them continued to explore in the forest full of mystery and unknowns, collecting various precious materials to make their own potions.

The two of them had been collecting for most of the day and were hungry. Lin Yu took out a tube of level 4 nutrient solution and handed it to Chao Yao, saying, "Chao Yao, replenish your nutrition first."

Chao Yao glanced at the tube of nutrient solution and frowned in disgust: "That's it? I can't swallow the terrible taste of this level 4 nutrient solution."

Lin Yu was surprised: "This level 4 nutrient solution is already very good, most people can't afford it."

Chao Yao rolled her eyes at him and said, "I can't stand the taste. It's hard to swallow."

Lin Yu shrugged helplessly: "Then what are you going to do?"

Chao Yao didn't say anything and started collecting plants around him.

Lin Yu looked at her worriedly: "Chaoyao, most of the plants and animals in this galaxy contain toxins, so don't mess around."

Chao Yao still ignored him and continued to concentrate on looking for usable ingredients.

Lin Yu paced anxiously on the side: "Chaoyao, you really have to be careful. If you get poisoned, it will be a big trouble."

Chao Yao was annoyed by what he said, stopped what he was doing, turned around and glared at Lin Yu and said, "Can you be quiet? I have my own way to remove the toxins from these animals and plants. Nothing will happen."

Lin Yu was stunned for a moment, and asked doubtfully: "Do you really have this ability? This is not a joke."

Chao Yao snorted coldly: "If you don't believe me, just wait to eat." After that, he ignored him and began to concentrate on preparing the ingredients.

"I still need some meat. I can't always eat vegetarian food!"

Chao Yao muttered to himself and began to think about how to find an animal to eat.

Her eyes kept searching around, and suddenly, she keenly noticed a slight movement in the grass not far away.

She approached cautiously and saw a nimble hare jumping out from the grass.

This hare is no ordinary hare. Its fur is a dreamy purple color, sparkling with mysterious light in the sun, as if inlaid with countless tiny stars.

The eyes were like two emerald gemstones, smart and alert. There were strange patterns on the long ears, like ancient runes.

Chao Yao quickly used his mental power to form an invisible net, covering the hare.

The hare sensed the danger and tried to escape, but under the strong mental restraint, its movements became slow.

Chao Yao took the opportunity to rush forward and accurately grabbed the hare's hind legs.

Lin Yu was stunned watching from the side and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Chao Yao, you are so awesome!" Chao Yao smiled slightly and began to deal with this unique interstellar hare.

First, place it firmly on a flat energy stone that emits a faint blue light.

She slowly closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then concentrated her mind completely.

I saw a powerful and pure mental power surging out from her brows like a surging tide, like strands of bright light blue light, instantly penetrating into the hare's body.

With the keen exploration of mental power, the intricate veins of poison in the rabbit's body appeared clearly in Chao Yao's mind.

These toxins are a strange dark green color, like tiny and ferocious snakes, winding and swimming freely in the blood vessels and muscles of the rabbit, trying to erode this living life.
