The Herbal Scents of Farm Life-Chapter 2933 - 2934: Everything Is Frozen

"So what’s going on here?" Lin Changhong asked.

If that jade mouse is indeed the token, then what use is this so-called token? It can’t prevent the occurrence of danger after all.

"Could this so-called token just be a decoy?"

"Could it really be like that?"

"If it really is like that, then what’s the use of this jade mouse? Might as well just throw it away!"

Others couldn’t help but murmur, contemplating whether the jade mouse actually has any use. Could it really be something just to deceive people?

If that is true, then they would be quite amused.

"This jade mouse will definitely serve its purpose eventually; otherwise, it would not exist," Lin Caisang said.

She glanced at her husband, both pondering the same possibility.

Perhaps the role of this jade mouse is not to guard against these ice pillars, but only at the most important and critical moment will its purpose be revealed.

And in this Qianji Pond, what truly is the most important thing?

It goes without saying; it’s the talisman of corpse suppression!

"Sangsang, you mean..."

Lin Changhong’s eyes lit up, seemingly thinking of this possibility as well.

However, he chose not to voice it; some things are best left unsaid until the moment they are needed, no point in idle talk.

"What are you thinking, Young Master Lin?" Yuan Jue asked.

At this moment, he had yet to connect the jade mouse to the talisman of corpse suppression.

"Nothing."

Lin Changhong shook his head immediately.

"What I mean is that if we stay here any longer, the ice pillars will start smashing towards us again. It’s better we keep moving forward, slowly; there’s no need to rush."

He changed the subject, addressing everyone.

His sister is pregnant, after all, so naturally, she couldn’t move quickly. But in this place, standing still is not an option either; otherwise, they’d be met by the ice pillars.

...

Before entering the forbidden forest, one really couldn’t see how vast it was.

But once inside, the enormity of this forbidden forest becomes apparent—it’s extraordinarily large indeed, so large that after walking for half a day, one still couldn’t see the edge.

Moreover, nothing apart from the ice trees was visible.

Eventually, everyone’s stomachs growled with hunger, yet they couldn’t stop, forcing them to take out their dry rations as they moved, aiming to first quell their hunger.

However, upon taking out the dry rations, they discovered they couldn’t eat them at all.

"My pancake has frozen solid."

Captain Liu was the first to realize his ration had turned into ice; it was impossible to bite into, completely inedible!

"Mine too, not just the dry rations; even the water is gone," a female team member said.

She saw that when she couldn’t bite into the ration, she checked the water pouch she carried, only to find the water inside had frozen solid, making it undrinkable.

"Ours are the same; they’re basically inedible now."

The Wall Grass Three’s rations, too, were inedible, likely to make a loud noise if they hit the ground.

"What should we do? We can’t eat anything, are we supposed to starve?"

"That’s not acceptable. If we starve here, wouldn’t it be the death of us?"

Everyone grew worried, with nothing to eat, it may be manageable during ordinary times as cultivators could endure not eating for days.
