The rainwater falling on her body disappeared, and Jiang Ning immediately noticed the change.
She looked down at Shi Xiaohua, who was still clinging tightly to her, unaware of what had happened.
However, at that moment, Jiang Ning also noticed that something seemed off about Shi Xiaohua's condition.
She was shivering against Jiang Ning, like a wet and lost cub.
Jiang Ning picked her up in one swift motion and headed towards the shelter the System had mentioned.
The path in the rainy night forest was not easy to navigate. Even though no rain was falling on them, the ground underfoot was wet, and thick, vibrant weeds were growing everywhere.
The short few hundred meters took Jiang Ning over ten minutes to traverse before she finally found the shelter the System described: an abandoned natural cave.
She carried Shi Xiaohua inside.
The cave was pitch-black and damp. Jiang Ning set down Shi Xiaohua, whom she had been holding in her arms.
