Yu Qingxian did not disturb the creatures crawling around, she crawled past them and then crawled back the way she came.
Instead, she went around another mountain to return.
By afternoon, Yu Qingxian finally returned to the village where the Tyrannosaurus Rex lived.
But she did not smell the Tyrannosaurus Rex's scent, and calling out received no response.
This made Yu Qingxian immediately rush into the house.
After all, if a living creature died, she would not be able to smell it.
Her undead identity allowed her to only sense the aroma of living beings.
But now, the Tyrannosaurus Rex's scent was gone.
Either the Tyrannosaurus Rex had died, or it was more than three kilometers away.
She opened the door and found the sled was still inside, and the dog food and cured meat had been eaten almost entirely.
It seems it had run out of food, so the Tyrannosaurus Rex had gone out to find some.
Yu Qingxian waited by the door for a while.
She checked the time, it was around seven in the evening.
The night had fallen.
But the Tyrannosaurus Rex had not returned yet.
Yu Qingxian waited for about half an hour but could not wait any longer.
She set out to find it.
This place likely had many wild animals.
Whether alive or turned into undead.
Either way, they were all very dangerous.
Yu Qingxian carefully examined the ground, trying to find the Tyrannosaurus Rex's trail.
There were indeed the Tyrannosaurus Rex's footprints by the house's door.
But it had walked onto the road, and the trail disappeared.
Yet the Tyrannosaurus Rex's paw pads were warm, so they should have left marks on the icy road surface.
Therefore, Yu Qingxian lay down on the ground, her eyes almost touching the ice, trying to see if there were plum blossom-like footprints on the surface.
She lay there, looking here and there, until she finally saw the footprints on the ground.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex must have stood in this spot for quite a while.
Therefore, the plum blossom prints were deepest here.
Deep enough to melt the ice, so it must have been there for a long time.
Judging from the direction of the footprints, it had likely headed towards the opposite mountain.
Not towards the snowy mountain.
Yu Qingxian stood up and walked in the direction the Tyrannosaurus Rex might have disappeared.
As time passed, the night fell deeper.
Even though in this place, sunset came a few hours later than elsewhere.
But now it was past eight o'clock, and the sky was almost dark.
If she could not find it, she was not sure if the Tyrannosaurus Rex's body temperature could be maintained.
Yu Qingxian passed through a few small mountains, and then saw a lake.
The lake surface seemed to be frozen over as well.
But she smelled the Tyrannosaurus Rex's scent.
She immediately went around the mountain, and saw the Tyrannosaurus Rex dragging a deer carcass back.
Seeing that the Tyrannosaurus Rex was safe and sound, Yu Qingxian also breathed a sigh of relief.
But Yu Qingxian looked at the deer carcass the Tyrannosaurus Rex was dragging, this deer...
was huge!
Yu Qingxian called out its name, and the Tyrannosaurus Rex immediately raised its head, and suddenly ran towards her at full speed.
Abandoning even the meat.
Yu Qingxian slapped her thigh, this silly dog, why abandon the meat?
Fortunately, halfway through, Yu Qingxian also ran over to help it drag the meat.
Yu Qingxian had initially thought it was a deer, but upon getting closer, she realized it was a mountain goat.
Indeed, with the Tyrannosaurus Rex's abilities, it did not lack food in this place.
Back in the small village.
Yu Qingxian dismantled all the furniture in the houses.
Although in these places, people burned animal dung shaped into flatbread-like things.
Even though Yu Qingxian knew these had no scent.
She still dismantled the furniture in the houses.
And made a fire.
Yu Qingxian roasted meat for the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Of course, while roasting, she not only stuffed her nose, but also wore several masks.
Barely managing to block the smell to a level she could tolerate.
Cooked food was truly a torture for the undead.
No wonder they lost interest once a living creature stopped breathing.
But the cooked meat, the Tyrannosaurus Rex ate it more eagerly.
Yu Qingxian thought for a moment, then found a knife in the house and cut the meat into pieces.
Although she could cook, this was her first time butchering an animal.
Plus, she was wearing a heavy down jacket, making her look rather clumsy.
To avoid getting blood stains on her down jacket, she also found sleeve covers and an apron.
Looking like a pig butchering housewife.
Yu Qingxian cut the meat into pieces, some of which she put into bags used for dog food.
Since they had blood stains, they would soon freeze over.
The remaining portion, Yu Qingxian roasted them directly, then put them into another bag.
This way, the Tyrannosaurus Rex could eat raw meat, as well as cooked meat.
Yu Qingxian checked the Tyrannosaurus Rex's water, and there was not much left, so she had to find a way to get water.
But in this place, although there were many small lakes, they were not freshwater lakes.
Those aquatic animals could not be drunk.
When Yu Qingxian came here, she followed one of the roads, which caused her to miss a very scenic spot.
Of course, Yu Qingxian had also wanted to go to this place because of a character from a novel.
That place known as the Flower.
It was said that this place was called the Little Jiangnan of the Plateau.
She had watched many introductory videos about that place.
When reading the comments and danmaku, she realized that many people had also learned about that place through a novel.
And many people went to this place because of one person.
Yu Qingxian had also wanted to go and see it at that time.
But when she stepped out of her room, she turned back.
She had never even left her house.
At that time, she even mocked herself, saying she was not that passionate after all.
Gradually, she forgot those books and those characters.
And now, Yu Qingxian did not come here because of that character.
She came here because she wanted to see it herself.
As Yu Qingxian went deeper into this place, the barren mountains were replaced by green trees.
Indeed, only by truly going there could one feel the magic.
Yu Qingxian passed through the narrow road through the jungle.
In this plateau region, she saw the primeval rainforest, which truly made her feel wondrous.
Indeed, the wonders of the Earth, after watching countless documentaries, when she truly stood before them, Yu Qingxian was still awestruck.
There were even springs in these mountains.
Although they had frozen over.
But Yu Qingxian did not mind, she took an axe and chopped off a large chunk, placing it on the sled.
Spring water was delicious.
Just like before, she dug out a patch of ground by the road and started a fire.
As the temperature rose, the ice on the tree leaves began to melt, dripping.
Yu Qingxian had no choice but to open her umbrella.
The trees here did not grow very tall.
Perhaps due to the altitude or other reasons, although not very tall.
But the leaves were very large.
If the trees in her hometown grew upwards, then the trees in this place grew outwards.
Those plump, large leaves made the Tyrannosaurus Rex look small.
Yu Qingxian took out her camera and photographed those leaves.
She even compared herself to the tree leaves.
For some reason, as soon as Yu Qingxian entered this place, it was as if she had become a person from a small nation.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex was eating its goat meat.
From time to time, it would raise its head and glance at Yu Qingxian.
While Yu Qingxian's eyes were shining, looking around here and there, crawling about.
Even because her clothes were too thick, when she was coming down from the tree, she still got stuck in the tree crevice, and frantically sought help from the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
As the Tyrannosaurus Rex walked over, a giant flower rushed towards it and swallowed it whole.
This left Yu Qingxian staring with her mouth agape.
A flower devoured her pet right in front of her, its owner!
This was outright robbery!
