Chapter 60 Iron Tree
"Just help me get the food."

"Okay, then you should be careful too." Mu Ran took the rabbit and stood aside.

The beast-formed Tia and Rex also hurriedly made way to make it easier for Qiu to move the fire.

I saw Qiu pull out a few thick torches from inside, move about seven or eight meters inside, throw the torches on the ground, and start burning wood again.

As for the fire in front, just ignore it and wait for the rain to flow here and it will naturally go out.

There are only stones in the cave, and nothing can burn except wood, so there is no need to worry about fire or anything. Now there are two fires burning in the cave, which are definitely brighter and warmer than before.

After Tia grilled for a while, her body had warmed up. During the break, she quietly went inside and changed back into human form.

There was a raging storm outside the cave, but the barbecue on the grill inside the cave was sizzling with oil. Several people sat around it, chatting and laughing, and it was very warm.

Mu Ran was doing two things at once, chatting with Qiu and the others while helping Rex purify himself.

I'll try to help him purify himself in the next two days. It's really inconvenient not being able to communicate.

Rex lay on the female's thighs, half closing his eyes, enjoying himself so much.

The barbecue was finally ready. Rex smelled the delicious aroma of the meat and a gurgling sound came from his stomach.

The sound was loud enough for several people to hear.

Qiu glanced at him, "These two belong to Tia and Ranran. If you are hungry, go hunt them yourself."

Mu Ran looked at the rain outside and couldn't bear to let Rex go out in the rain.

So he suggested, "Why don't we share it among the four of us? It doesn't matter if I eat less. It's raining so hard outside, and it's not easy to hunt."

Rex was deeply moved by the female's concern. No female had ever cared about him like this before!

Tia had no objection and was already very grateful for having something to eat.

Qiu objected, "Ran Ran, you underestimate Rex. It's just raining, and there are only two of them. Even if he eats them all, it's just to fill his teeth. This is not enough to sustain his consumption."

"Um... okay." Mu Ran thought of Rex's beast form that was more than three meters tall. It was indeed not enough for him to eat these two little ones.

"Then Rex, be careful."

"Awoo~" Rex shook his head casually. He had already received the female's affection and was in a very happy mood.

[Ran Ran, I'm going to fill my stomach first and will be back soon. ]

The silver wolf shook its hair, and then a faint green halo enveloped its body, and then it rushed towards the rain curtain.

Mu Ran watched the wolf disappear. When she looked away, the barbecue had been handed to her and Qiu Zheng was looking at her with a smile.

She looked at the only two, one was given to her and the other was in Tia's hand. She couldn't help asking, "You gave us the barbecue, what do you eat?"

"How about you go out and eat your fill before coming back?" She was thinking that Qiu's original size was not small, and his appetite should be not much different from Rex's.

The female's words warmed Qiu's eyes, "Ranran, are you concerned about me? Thank you~"

"However, I am a plant beast. Unlike other beastmen, I don't have much demand for food, so I usually don't eat much."

Mu Ran was surprised. "What do you usually eat? Aren't you hungry?"

Qiu explained: "I will be hungry, but my food is energy from the air. I can also eat some plants and meat."

For the plant beast, his food consists of nutrients in the soil, and as long as he is in a place with sufficient rain and sunshine, he will not be hungry.

"Really? It's so easy to raise!" Mu Ran was surprised and envious.

It turns out there are people who grew up eating air. I'm so jealous!

Qiu thought the female was praising him, and his ears turned red. "It's quite easy to raise. We plant animals can survive as long as there is soil and sunlight."

"It's normal. Their original form is plants, but not all of them are like this. I remember there is the man-eating plant beast, which loves to eat meat the most." Tia said as if she was not surprised.

Qiu nodded, "Yes, there are different species of plants and animals, so naturally their food is different."

Tia asked curiously, "Qiu, I don't know much about plant beasts. I didn't recognize your true form after seeing it. What kind of plant beast are you?"

Hearing this, Mu Ran also looked at him curiously.

"..."

Unexpectedly, Qiu was strangely silent for a while. Facing four pairs of curious eyes, he hesitated for a moment and said vaguely: "Iron tree."

"Iron tree?!" Mu Ran and Tia said in unison. The former was simply surprised. She had always thought that iron tree was just a metaphor.

Tia reacted subconsciously. Something flashed through her mind very quickly, but she couldn't catch it. She just felt like she had heard it somewhere, but couldn't remember the details.

She didn't know much about plant beasts. Plant beasts were just a general term. In fact, there were hundreds of species of plant beastmen. Most people wouldn't pay too much attention to the details, after all, they usually interacted with human forms.

When she heard the word Tieshu, she had an impression of it, but she just couldn't remember it.

He didn't notice Qiu's stiff body.

Seeing that they didn't have any special reaction, I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Stop talking and eat quickly. It's a bit cold today. It's good for your health to eat while it's hot." Qiu Si slidably changed the subject.

"Yeah, let's sit down and talk while eating." The two were successfully diverted.

Tia's thoughts were interrupted and she didn't continue.

They turned to talk about other things while eating and chatting. After they had finished their meal, Rex, who had filled his stomach, came back.

As expected, the wolf was all wet, and had a fat pheasant in its mouth, which he saved for their next meal.

The rain gradually subsided, and the heavy downpour turned into a drizzle. After several hours of rain, the forest became muddy. A large puddle of water accumulated at the entrance of the cave, and the environment was extremely humid.

The incoming rain formed several thin streams in the cave, slowly exploring inside.

However, there was no reinforcement supply behind them, and after flowing to a certain distance, they were unable to continue.

It was really dark and the rain had stopped, but the wind started to blow.

The wind outside was howling and whistling, and the fire burning in the cave was facing the cave entrance and was blown high by the wind.

Mu Ran's body had warmed up, but the strong wind made him feel cold and he got goose bumps.

Seeing this, Qiu quickly found a stone to block the entrance of the cave. Although it was not completely sealed, it could block most of the wind.

"Ran Ran, are you still cold?"

Mu Ran shook his head and thanked him, "Much better. The wind tonight is really too cold."

At this moment, she was really glad that she listened to Tia and took a bath with her. Otherwise, she would have frozen to death in the water in this weather.

Qiu looked at the delicate female and couldn't help but worry, "Ran Ran, the weather will get colder and colder in the future. You can't wear such thin clothes. I have to find some leather for you."

"Animal skins?" Mu Ran asked.
