Mountains, forests, dogs, (money), I'm coming!

  "Husband, let's eat first! Whoever has a bad time after this kind of thing...” A charming and seductive woman walked over to the entrance of the villa's dining room, saw the mess on the ground, glanced around, went up to grab Jia Wanquan's shoulder, and wanted to act coquettishly.

  Slap! A loud slap and a sharp cry of "ah" almost sounded at the same time. After Jia Wanzhuan slapped this woman, he was still not relieved, and he grabbed her hair and roared: "You damn bitch, do you think that since Laozi has no offspring, all the family property will be yours? Get out, stinky cunt!"

  Seizing a handful of hair, amidst the woman's sobs and terror, he threw her to the ground. Jia Wanquan thought for a moment, then grabbed the phone and pressed it down fiercely.

  Domestic affairs are afraid of being too serious, although Jia Wanquan is a violent mine owner who has no qualifications to say this sentence, but he can use money to buy enough qualified people! Moreover, in addition to the government side, he also mobilized all his energy, his own mining team, various business informants, and the bosses of major entertainment venues in Xijiang City were all activated.

  Bai Huan, the one who caused all this, was now happily taking a minibus from downtown to Jigongyan in Jiangnan.

  ……

  Xijiang City has been the throat of the Yangtze River since ancient times, and the city was also formed across the river. The north bank has always been the center of the city, and four of Xijiang City's five administrative regions are located on the north bank.

  Compared to Jiangnan and Jiangbei, it's more like a rural town than a modern hydroelectric city. However, the scenery there is beautiful and has its own unique charm. After taking a small bus from Bai Huan, passing over the Yangtze River Bridge and driving along the highway into the southwestern region for about an hour, we arrived at Jigongyan.

  It's just that from the town of Jigongyan, to the mining team's camp, it takes a whole day's walk, and people with inconvenient legs and feet may not be able to arrive even if they start walking at dawn and continue until midnight.

  Bai Guang turned around in the town and soon found the person who came out of the mountain to welcome him.

  It's almost too easy to recognize - soft-soled mountain boots, insect-repellent combat uniform, and a medium-sized multi-functional backpack on his back.

  Looking again at the man's feet, two rusty red mountain dogs were lying there. Apart from Yu Debao's men, who else could it be?

  Of course, the exploration team that has been wandering around the mountains and forests of Xijiang for years is definitely not just De Bao's family. However, it's unlikely that there would be anyone else waiting in the town at 8 or 9 am.

  "Hey, big brother, hello. Excuse me, are you one of Boss Yu's people?" Bai Huan recognized the person and directly walked up to him, greeting him without any hesitation or reserve. Although he was a Druid and entering the mountain was no problem for him, the man in front of him was also a sturdy young fellow, but being able to gain some time was still better than waiting until nightfall.

  That person was apparently stunned for a moment, staring straight at Bai Huan, before coming back to his senses: "Oh, oh... so you're the one the boss said would come over to see the dog?"

  This man was around thirty years old, and his skin had a healthy, dark copper color from often going into the mountains. His eyes, however, were somewhat dull and unfocused as he looked at Bai Huan.

  "Bai Huan, the white of daytime, swaying gently, in half a month, we will be colleagues." Bai Huan extended his hand proactively. He was actually a person who found it hard to open up to others, but work is work, if there wasn't even the most basic communication, how could one survive in this society?

  That man is still being silly, as if there's something very important that he suddenly forgot. When he heard Bai Huan introduce himself, he subconsciously stretched out his hand: "Oh, oh, Wang Xian, Water King Wang, Constitution Wang Xian."

  It wasn't until I finished introducing myself that Wang Xian suddenly reacted: "Huh? Where's your stuff?"

  Bai Huang was stunned for a moment, but soon he understood Wang Xian's meaning: "You're talking about the thing that went into the mountain!"

  "Yes, sleeping bag, backpack, personal tableware, outdoor toiletries... Although the necessary public goods are available in our team, private things are not prepared for you." Wang Xian started counting one by one, looking very patient, but towards the end, Bai Huan also felt that something was off.

  What's wrong with this person, seems a bit unhappy?

  Although Bai Huaiping's usual style of doing things is also considered to be quite manly, this does not mean that he will randomly express his opinions before understanding the situation.

  This Wang Xian had never met him before, how could there be any conflict, his current attitude should still have some reason.

  Is it because you have nothing in your hands?

  Bai Guang was clueless about geological exploration, but he still knew some common sense about outdoor survival.

  What Wang Xian just said are all essential items for ordinary people to survive outdoors, especially in remote mountains where few people have been. It's no wonder that he was out of breath since he didn't prepare anything at all.

  After a moment of silence, Bai Huan and Qi smiled: "Sorry, it's like this, Brother Wang. My hometown is on the other side of Qiwu Mountain, mountain people, my elders were all hunters by profession, so some things I don't need either."

  After all, from an ordinary person's point of view, this matter is indeed Bai Huan's unpreparedness, and it's not surprising that he was questioned, so he explained it in a good tone.

  However, it was clear that Wang Xian still didn't believe his words. Hunters, people who have been wandering in the mountains for years, who hasn't seen them before? But there's no one like Bai Huan: "Can't use it? I'm telling you, don't think the problem is too simple! The mountain isn't as fun as you think, when trouble arises, don't drag us down."

  This person's attitude is not very good, but after all, it's also a reminder that Bai Huan is not good at refuting.

  And he can't pat his chest and reveal his identity to Wang Xian: Brother, I'm a Druid now, the king of the mountains, and I'm on my own turf, so you'd better be polite!

  "Alright, alright! Don't hold me back, don't hold yourselves back. Can we set off now?" Bai Huan smiled wryly to himself, since there was no way to explain clearly, he might as well not say anything, it's a waste of energy.

  He's just a temporary worker anyway, once he finishes this job, he'll go back to his own business, no need to be so petty.

  Wang Xian was still obviously dissatisfied, but this person was the boss himself calling over to tell him to take good care of. Even if he had more dissatisfaction, he could only hum twice with his nose and turn around to leave.

  Before Bai Guang came over, although he didn't expect others to treat him with the utmost respect like a grand master, but this kind of treatment now is also unexpected.

  How can he be so sure of himself when they haven't even started work yet?

  Since Wang Xian mentioned it later, there was no good expression left. Bai Huan didn't bother to pay attention to him and walked leisurely behind the person, looking very comfortable.

  Cool! This is really too cool! Although Bai Huan had just returned to his hometown once during the May Day holiday, now walking in the mountains, that refreshing air full of negative ions still made every pore of his cheer up.

  The two of them met and didn't spend much time together, now it's just past 8:30, the temperature is quite pleasant.

  There are all sorts of plants around, the rhododendron has shed its flowers and is in full leaf; the white flowers of the Enkianthus peek out from the woods; near the edge of the winding mountain path, Pyracantha and Viola are blooming together. Every few dozen meters, a pheasant will fly by with a whir; if you only hear the rustling of branches but no flapping sound, it's probably a squirrel; every now and then, the gentle gurgling of the stream can be heard, interspersed with the occasional "croak" of a forest frog.

  Bai Guang suddenly felt his whole body relax, as if he was about to ascend into flight.

  He used to feel close and relaxed when he returned to his hometown and went into the mountains, but it wasn't like this before. It's as if both body and mind have been completely liberated, with a refreshing power that gathers in his body through every breath and every pore.

  This is the power of nature, no doubt about it!

  Bai Huan, who had experienced this many times before, immediately judged the properties of this power.

  However, what made him slightly strange was that the power he was absorbing at this moment and the power fed back by the small animals after saving the cats and dogs were not quite the same. Although it could be confirmed that both were natural powers, there must be some subtle difference between them that Bai Huan couldn't quite put into words.

  Never mind, as long as it can improve abilities, Bai Huan shook his head indifferently.

  As a druid, I'm too inexplicable. Why do others get superpowers and have an extremely considerate auxiliary system? At the very least, they can provide some necessary information.

  He's good at this, relying solely on information obtained during that brief moment of upgrade.

  To put it nicely, it's enlightenment; to put it badly, it's force-feeding.

  And what made Bai Huan even more anxious was that he had no idea when he would upgrade! This was too frustrating! Although the invisible force around him had been drilling into his body all along, it didn't show any sign of undergoing a qualitative change or breaking through the critical point.

  This is really unscientific!

  This crappy ability already comes with an interface to scan others' combat power, can't it just add a window to view one's own experience value... or rather, the accumulation degree of natural power?

  He muttered to himself ten times "One can't be too greedy", Bai Huan shook his head and quickly followed, Wang Xian seemed to be doing it on purpose, relying on his own legs that had been climbing mountains and forests for many years, pulling two mountain dogs and rushing in.

  The road leading into the mountains was originally hidden by thick bushes, and if one wasn't careful, getting lost would be a normal thing.

  But if you think using such a small trick can test Bai Huan's level, that would be too unimpressive.

  Even before he had obtained Druid's power, he was already a good hand at driving mountains, let alone now that he possessed extraordinary abilities.

  Even if she wasn't looking at Wang Qian, allowing his figure to disappear into the dense forest, Bai Huan could still easily determine his location through a unique spiritual sense.

  This damn thing, even in the big mountain it still has its own DPS positioning!

  Just as Bai Huan was feeling a sense of wonder, a sudden rustling sound came from the front, followed by the shrill cries of mountain dogs.

  Something's wrong?
