Gu Mengmeng raised her brow and glanced over at Elvis, asking him, “Why? Are you planning to confine me and prevent me from leaving this cave forever?”

Elvis was taken aback by Gu Mengmeng’s words and shook his head instinctively.

Gu Mengmeng then smiled, “That would do it.. I promise that I won’t jump into the lake this time. I had no experience with the previous time and didn’t know that the water was this cold. If I knew it, I wouldn’t have the courage to jump into it.”

This is a fact. When Gu Mengmeng just arrived, the water was still warm but after a few days, it became freezing cold. From this, it could be seen that winter was coming, and it did not seem that there would be any transition period.

Elvis could not reject Gu Mengmeng eventually but this time, he was much more careful as he carried Gu Mengmeng in his arms the entire time, not allowing her to leave him by even a foot. Gu Mengmeng was delighted and relaxed. It was too cold and hard to walk on the ground without shoes. Moreover, she really did not intend on jumping into the lake. Being warmly hugged by Elvis like this was also pretty good.

When they reached the lake, Gu Mengmeng’s eyes glimmered all of a sudden.

F***!

This was her third time coming here! Why didn’t she realize that this was a salt lake the first two times! Large chunks of salt crystals were hung on the walls of the lake and she actually did not notice it at all?

Gu Mengmeng was excited as she pointed at the chunk closest to her, “Elvis, hurry hurry hurry, go there. I want that white thing.”

Seeing how Gu Mengmeng was so interested in stuff excluding Lea, Elvis’s heart was put at ease.

Looking over at the direction Gu Mengmeng was pointing to, he nodded his head and carried Gu Mengmeng while stepping on the large stones near the stream. In a few leaps, he reached the walls of the lake. He used one hand to hug onto Gu Mengmeng firmly while he used his other hand to grab onto the bulging part on the wall and hung in mid-air steadily.

Gu Mengmeng extended her hand and extracted a little salt crystal. She used her tongue to lick it lightly and a wide grin bloomed radiantly on Gu Mengmeng’s face. That’s right, it was what she wanted!

Gu Mengmeng danced around in delight and exerted strength to extract a larger clump, placing it in her arms. However, her arms could not hold that much salt crystals and if she used too much strength, the salt crystals would shatter and there would be nothing left.

Seeing Gu Mengmeng’s puffed-up face that resembled a bun, Elvis asked in doubt, “What’s wrong? Isn’t this what you wanted?”

Gu Mengmeng shook her head and said, “It’s what I want but I can only hold this much…”

Elvis looked down at the large clump in Gu Mengmeng’s arms and realized that the thing she named as salt was only as big as a rabbit. If it was cooked for consumption… it was really a bit too little.

It was rare for Gu Mengmeng to have both the mood and the appetite so Elvis naturally would not disappoint her. Thus, he said, “It’s alright, let’s bring all these back first. I’ll help you extract the rest later.”

Gu Mengmeng shook her head, “It’s pretty far to travel from our cave. Let’s extract enough so that we don’t need to make the journey down here again.”

Elvis nodded his head. To him, whatever Gu Mengmeng said was correct, so he said, “Then, let’s extract some more and throw it to the ground. I’ll take them all later.”

Gu Mengmeng’s lips twitched, and she said, “Throw it to the ground? Then, it will shatter into bits and when it comes into contact with water, even if we want to pick it up, we can’t do it. Sigh… we came here to find salt but why didn’t we think of bringing a beast skin with us when we left? I’m so dumb.”

Beast skin? Elvis’s eyes glimmered with hope and he told Gu Mengmeng, “I brought the beast skin.”
