Four of them team up and try to find the golden delta river if they found the river they can follow it they can leave the forest.
So they decide to search for it while being careful about beast roaming in the forest so everyone were careful about it.
Both Zhongli yinmin and caocao were gathering wild vegetables or any herbs they found while walking.
Cause of wang Leiting injury they walk slowly in order not to open his wound from the heavy movement.
By the evening they found a relatively open area and start cooking the wild vegetables they had gather.
Since caocao know how to weave baskets and bamboo tube which they are using to store water and carry vegetables.
This help them alot atleast they had container to store water and basket to put vegetables and herbs.
Although those vegetables don't taste very good they can atleast fill there stomach and prevent starvation.
Zhongli yinmin look at the dead fire rabbit on her feet with happy look on her face she spend two hours on hunting this rabbit.
This put the rabbit in her basket and went back to there cave "everyone look what I got" they all look at her.
When they saw the rabbit there eyes lit up they had been eating vegetables for three days now.
While caocao was thinking about hoe to roast the rabbit Zhang Jiutian came back running with excited expression.
Zhang Jiutian:- "guys I think I found the river yinmin was talking about" they all grab there stuff also there today dinner.
And went toward the direction Zhang Jiutian had came here after walking for an hour they saw a very big river.
The river surrounded by the trees whose leaf shimmer golden sunlight when there reflection fall in the river.
Cause of the rare mineral in the soil both tree and river glow golden creating a beautiful golden view.
Wang Leiting:- "this place is really beautiful completely diffrent from the famous shadow forest of my realm"
Zhang Jiutian:- "we need to be careful many beast surely came here to drink water" she speak while looking at a snake near the river.
Zhongli yinmin:- "then it's mean we can hunt of beast to eat" she grin happily making other chuckle.
Caocao:- "actually why don't we stay here for few days till we are completely recover from our injuries"
Unlike Zhongli yinmin who obediently leave with those man sparring herself from beating both caocao and Zhang Jiutian were beaten for trying to run away.
Althought there injuries are external not as serious as Wang Leiting it's still hurt when they now around.
Zhang Jiutian:- "yes she right we should stay here for atleast five days before leaving this forest"
No one had any problem with this arrangement so they decide to stay near the river for five days.
They found a small open area near the river removing tall grass and small stone, they use those small stone to create circle.
Caocao lit up the fire with the flint she had on her when she was sold here in just one try Zhongli yinmin had try to use it but failed.
Zhang Jiutian boil the vegetables which she already had learnt how to do it, caocao remove the rabbit skin and skin the rabbit.
The cut the rabbit meat into thin layer and roast them on the fire she sprinkle some salt on it once she was done.
She divide the meat and put vegetable in the bowls everyone enjoy this meal every much the roasted rabbit meat taste pretty good.
Caocao hand Zhongli yinmin dagger back to her which she had borrow to deal with the rabbit then went to clean the dishes.
Zhongli yinmin seat down in lotus position and start absorbing the qi it's had been few days since she had neglected her cultivation
In the middle of the night the golden leaf wild forest glow from the moss covered ground providing enough light to see.
Seating on ground a little girl with close eyes busy absorbing the qi in the air, the qi start creating thin layer around her body.
Suddenly the thin layer crack and her pale face turn rosy with healthy glow, opening her eyes Zhongli yinmin check her space.
Seeing that her space had grown into 5 m in both length and height lot of space had grown now she can store more things.
She look Zhang Jiutian who is guarding them she want to switch turn but three of them had refuse for her to stay guard.
They all were worried cause of her young age she can fall asleep while guarding which can be terrible for them.
Its better for her to sleep so she turn around close her eyes and fall asleep, early in the morning she took a bath in the river.
Since coming out of the cell and staying in the forest this is her first bath, she rub her body vigorously to remove all of dirt.
She and wang Leiting set up traps using makeshift sharpen bamboo tip around the river then they try to catch fish in river.
Since she had learnt archery her aim was better then wang Leiting in just half hour she catch two big fish enough for them to eat.
They stay there for two days to recover themselves while eating wild vegetables and beasts they sometime capture.
But on there forth day of stay Zhongli yinmin end up encountering a 2nd rank blue venomous snake.
The 3 ft long snake with midnight blue scale and black eyes staring at her, her brain went numb her eyes dart around trying to find a way to escape.
Seeing that there no other option she turn around and start running which is quite useless move.
She can feel the snake approaching her rapidly suddenly her eyes hurt and she saw the snake jaw about to bite her shoulder.
She throw herself on her right side dodging the attack she take out the jade fan and focus her vision.
The snake turn around open his jaw and jump and at her, the speed of the snake extremely fast.
She couldn't dodge it as the snake teeth sunk in her skin she attack the snake weak spot with the fan.
The snake didn't have any chance to dodge before it drop dead on the ground, she went back and sheepishly inform them.
"Now I'm not only in the ground who isn't injured" they were speechless.
