Chapter 287: Waterfall

Translator: 549690339 |

As Shen Qian savored the firm and tasty snake meat, she felt her perceptions being overturned.

She had always avoided this cold-scaled creature. She didn’t expect that after accompanying Qin Lang on a trip into the forest, she would taste snake meat.

Such a thing was utterly unimaginable before.

What overthrew her understanding even more was that snake meat was so delicious!

Shen Qian felt that she could no longer look at these terrifying creatures with a neutral eye. The next time she saw a snake, what would likely come to mind was the snake soup in her hand, wouldn’t it?

“Slurp-”

Finishing the last drop of the soup leisurely, Shen Qian rubbed her belly, basking in a sense of satisfaction and comfort.

There was nothing more enjoyable than sipping a bowl of fresh and rich soup that could eliminate greasiness after dining on delicious food.

Of course, she didn’t forget to serve a couple of bowls for her Food Spirit to taste.

Seeing Shen Qian and Zhou Tianhao’s transformation from initial skepticism to fully appreciating the unique taste of snake meat, Qin Lang suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction that the “recommendation was successful”.

Underrated delicacies often have points that people find hard to accept, either due to their unusual taste such as Luosifen, or the ingredients themselves.

If it’s the latter, it’s genuinely regrettable to never try them.

As the picnic ended, the three quickly cleaned up the leftover trash and bones.

After resting in place for a while, they set off together.

Not long after they left, animals drawn by the aroma but too wary to approach earlier swarmed in, leaving the bones and food scraps spotless before scattering again.

“Swish…”

Hearing the faint sound of water, Qin Lang, Shen Qian, and Zhou Tianhao, who were leisurely strolling through the forest, stopped in unison.

“You guys heard the sound too, right?” Zhou Tianhao spoke up with a chuckle.

“There doesn’t seem to be any streams nearby. Why is there a sound of water?”

Shen Qian scanned their surroundings, all she could see was an expanse of dappled tree shadows.

“If I’m not mistaken, we are quite close to a very famous spot within Lan Qiu

Forest.” Qin Lang pondered for a moment, and his eyes lit up.

“Are you saying…” After Qin Lang’s hint, Shen Qian also realized, “Lan Qiu Waterfall?!”

“Correct.” This time it was Zhou Tianhao who spoke, “While tracing the whereabouts of the Star Hunter, I passed by Lan Qiu Waterfall. It was in this direction.”

“I was in a hurry that time and didn’t get to see it, but this time we can finally take a good look.” Zhou Tianhao chuckled, “It is said that above Lan Qiu Waterfall, there is a unique sight called the Single Standing Tree.”

“I’ve heard of it too.” Qin Lang grinned, nodding.

Lan Qiu Forest is located in a hilly area with undulating terrain. The Bei Qiu River, running through the forest, has split into a number of tributaries here.

Lan Qiu Waterfall is formed by one of these tributaries tumbling down a steep cliff. While its scale isn’t big, its fame isn’t low.

One of the reasons is the peculiar sight known as the “Single Standing Tree .

In the middle of the water-drop entrance above the waterfall stands a towering tree.

Years of water erosion had washed away the soil around the tree, leaving only its well-developed root system standing where water cascades down, dividing the waterfall in two.

It is said that the tree tilts a bit every year. Perhaps one day it will be completely washed away by the water flow and fall into the basin below, and the Single Standing Tree will cease to exist. Thus, while it is here, many people come to see and photograph this wonder every year.

This reminded Qin Lang of the Pisa tower, which had been tilting every year in his last life.

“Let’s go see the waterfall now!” Shen Qian brimmed with excitement, “I’ve already thought about the pose for a photo with the ‘Single Standing Tree’!”

“I roughly remember the direction, it’s this way!” Zhou Tianhao surveyed the surroundings, and soon pointed in a certain direction, guided by the memory and the direction of the sound.

As the three of them advanced, the sound of the water gradually grew louder until it became a deep rumble, alternating without cease.

They successfully found the waterfall’s location.

However, they arrived at the spot above the waterfall, where the water flows down.

“I thought we’d head directly to the pool of water beneath the waterfall!” Zhou Tianhao looked at the body of water converging in front of him, flashing a slightly odd expression.

“This isn’t bad either.” Shen Qian’s gaze followed the direction of the water flow and soon saw where the water abruptly vanished from sight, with a tall tree standing askew in the middle of the falling point.

In front of the water flow, she could vaguely see mist rising, forming a rainbow against the sunlight.

“Let’s go take pictures with the ‘Single Standing Tree’ first!” Shen Qian hurried towards the Single Standing Tree and beckoned Qin Lang along, “Qin Lang, come quick and help me take photos!”

“Alright.” Qin Lang kept up with a smile, pulling out the camera equipment he always carried from his bag.

“Wait for me!” Watching the two of them, Zhou Tianhao grinned as he followed, “I also want to take some pictures.”

“Not a problem!”

“This pose!”

Standing by the bank near the ‘Single Standing Tree’, Shen Qian positioned herself towards the direction of the cliff, taking a step forward and striking a forward-pushing pose.

Under the staggered rays of light, her hand nicely corresponded to the tilting tree, as though Shen Qian were pushing the tree down.

The sunlight filtered through the mist, forming a rainbow outside the cliff.

This beautiful scene was faithfully captured by Qin Lang’s camera, filling the sprinting- over-to-check Shen Qian with satisfaction, “You’re better than I expected at taking photos!”

“Of course.” Qin Lang handed his camera to Shen Qian, “Now it’s your turn to take photos of me.”

“Guaranteed to achieve!” Shen Qian giggled, pointing the camera at Qin Lang as he started to pose.

Unlike Shen Qian, Qin Lang leaned with his back towards the cliff, adopting a leaning-back pose.

His body leaned slightly, but with Dan Bao’s Thought Power assistance, he managed to maintain his balance. Under the misplacement of light and shadow, it appeared as though he was leaning against the tree.

Meanwhile, the two little creatures gathered by his side, making funny faces at the camera, looking extremely cute.

“It’s my turn now!” Zhou Tianhao, who was watching by the side, was itching to join in after Qin Lang was done with his photos.

After taking individual photos, they proceeded with pairs and finally, with the help of Thought Power, took a group photo with all eight of them.

Having done all of this, they turned their attention to the basin of water at the bottom of the cliff.

The stream, after plummeting down the forty-meter cliff, crashed into the basin below with massive energy. The continuous, animating roars forced the three of them to raise their voices to communicate with each other.

“How do we get down?” Shen Qian turned to the other two, “Taking a detour seems to require us to trek more than a kilometer.”

“We don’t have to make it so troublesome!” Zhou Tianhao gave a hearty laugh, his countenance brimming with readiness to act, “We can jump down!”

Qin Lang: “???”

Shen Qian: “???”
