Rock salt that had not been purified was difficult to swallow. It was bitter and astringent, with a lot of solid impurities. When it melted, one's mouth would be full of sand.
After the initial excitement, the group of people no longer wanted to try it.
Taking advantage of the free time in the afternoon, a stone cauldron was quickly set up in the corridor. Under the cauldron, large chunks of rock salt were smashed and ground into powder. Then, they were poured into the boiling water to cook.
Most of the people there had been in high school, so they were familiar with salt purification experiments. Even if they had forgotten, they could make up for it with everyone's suggestions.
After repeated filtration, crystallization, and finally drying, a layer of white salt appeared in front of everyone. The salt was carefully scraped into a big stone bowl and covered with a lid.
Everyone was excited, and they continued to cook the second pot. When it was almost dark, they had already cooked four pots, which contained about 30 to 40 catties of salt. With so much salt, they would not be lacking in a short period of time.
Moreover, there was still a lot of rock salt left. If they were to cook all of it, it would probably be enough to last them for four to five years. By then, if they were still in the forest, they would have already found more rock salt.
The strange bird did not appear for the entire afternoon, which made Luo Yuan and the others feel relieved. It seemed like the bird had learned its lesson and would not come again.
After a simple dinner, he sat down cross-legged again, trying to break the curse and completely release his will as soon as possible. Will was an important part of his strength. If he was unable to condense his will, his attack and defense would drop by a large margin.
This was undoubtedly an extremely dangerous thing to do in this prehistoric forest, where danger lurked everywhere.
… …..
The next day, he opened his eyes before the sun rose. There was a trace of fatigue and annoyance in his eyes. The whole night, he had only meditated once. When he wanted to meditate again, his thoughts were tumbling and he could not calm down for a long time.
The only thing that made Luo Yuan feel a little better was that the curse had been weakened again. The illusion had become blurry and almost shapeless. If this continued, even if he did not meditate again, it would automatically collapse in three to four days.
He looked at the time. It was not even three o 'clock in the morning. There were still two to three hours before dawn, but he did not feel sleepy. With his 14-point Physique, he had fully recovered after meditating for a night. He wiped his face and stood up.
"Ah! Who's there? " Zhao Yali seemed to be doing something when she suddenly saw the shadow at the door. She couldn't help but cry out in shock.
Her clothes were thin, and as she had just woken up, her shoulders were exposed. Her lips were slightly open, red and moist. Luo Yuan could not help but feel aroused when he looked at her.
"It's me!" Luo Yuan quickly said. She did not have night vision, so obviously she could not see him. "It's so late, why aren't you sleeping?"
"You scared me. I was wondering who was standing there." Zhao Yali was relieved when she heard Luo Yuan's voice. "I couldn't sleep."
Now, she rarely called him Little Yuan. She was also unable to connect with the kind and gentle Little Yuan of the past. He made her feel somewhat unfamiliar and afraid!
"Since you can't sleep, let's chat!"
"What do you want to talk about?" Zhao Yali asked, her tone slightly stiff.
"Anything!" Luo Yuan thought for a while and said, "Like how you used to live?"
Zhao Yali did not speak for a long time. The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.
However, she had never been a tough person. It was difficult for her to really hate someone. Seeing Luo Yuan standing there awkwardly, not knowing what to say, Zhao Yali was happy but also a little sad. For such a strong person to be so submissive to her, it was really hard on him.
Zhao Yali's imagination ran wild. After hesitating for a while, she softened and said, "There's nothing to talk about. It's all in the past. Why don't you teach me how to use a knife? I can't do those movements well."
"Of course!" Luo Yuan said. "Let's go outside!"
"Okay!" Zhao Yali did not think much of it. She found her knife in the dark and followed Luo Yuan to the corridor. She saw that Luo Yuan kept walking forward and had unknowingly walked 50 to 60 meters. She was a little scared and could not help but ask, "Why are we going so far?"
"So that we won't disturb people who are sleeping!"
"It's already far enough. Let's keep our voices down. They can't hear us!" Zhao Yali said. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something and her face turned slightly red.
Luo Yuan looked around and realized that they were at least 70 to 80 meters away from the cave. He said, "Alright, let's do it here. Show me the basic movements and I'll correct you."
Seeing that Luo Yuan did not hesitate to stop, she felt slightly relieved. She calmed down and said, "Then I'll practice my knife. Don't laugh at me!"
"As long as you don't make me laugh, I usually won't laugh!" It was rare for him to be humorous.
"You're so annoying!"
Zhao Yali said coquettishly. She was stunned and a little distracted. It seemed like she had not talked so casually for a long time. Maybe it was two years, or maybe it was her previous life.
She came back to her senses and stopped joking. She pulled out her knife and started practicing with a sullen face. After a while, the sound of the knife cutting through the air was heard in the dark.
She was not as bad as she said, as her evolution began. Whether it was the strength or the speed of her knife, she had already surpassed Lin Xiaoji, who had the strongest strength. Moreover, the strengthening was still ongoing. No one knew how far she would evolve in the end.
Of course, her posture was still flawed, and her movements were somewhat irregular. Some of her muscles did not participate in the exertion of force at all, and the degree of coherence was not high. However, this was not just her problem. Everyone had some or less of these problems. She wasn't at the top, but she wasn't at the bottom either. To be able to go from a weakling who didn't know anything to this level, it could be seen how much hard work she had put in.
Luo Yuan was touched. Ever since Lao Huang had died, she seemed to have started to change. However, he knew nothing about it. Perhaps he did not care enough about her.
… …
"Alright, the warm-up is over. Do the first posture of the first movement and don't move. I'll correct you!" Luo Yuan said when he saw that Zhao Yali was a little out of breath after practicing a few times.
The first movement was the most powerful slash. Zhao Yali held the knife with both hands obediently and raised it.
"You have to raise your arms as high as possible. You have to go higher so that you can make full use of the force and make the slash more powerful!" Luo Yuan walked over and said as he straightened her arms.
Zhao Yali shivered a little when their bodies touched. It was as if a wave of heat had entered her body. Her face was a little flushed, but she did not care much because they had been intimate before. She listened to Luo Yuan's explanation carefully.
… …
"Next is your waist. Your psoas is too stiff. You have to twist it and it has to be smooth. Don't be too deliberate." Luo Yuan touched her waist naturally. His hand went through her clothes and kept exploring her skin, as if he was looking for the muscles in her waist.
After the evolution, her skin had become more delicate and had a certain luster to it. Luo Yuan could not help but be fascinated by it.
Gradually, Zhao Yali's body started to tremble and her whole body was flushed. At the same time, anger was brewing in her heart. Luo Yuan was up to no good. Just as she was about to gather her courage and scold him, Luo Yuan's serious voice was heard again.
Luo Yuan's serious voice was heard again, "It's this big piece of muscle. Feel it and touch mine later to compare."
She bit her lips and did not say anything. She looked at Luo Yuan suspiciously but could only see his serious face.
… …
"Your legs don't even know how to stride. This is a very important step. It can greatly increase the speed of your slash …" Luo Yuan said in a low voice. He had already squatted down and touched her thigh. "You didn't even move these muscles before. Practice more later."
Zhao Yali seemed to have touched a sensitive spot. Her breathing became a little rapid and her whole body felt weak. She said with a trembling voice, "Xiao Yuan, I'm a little tired. I want to go back and rest."
"You're only halfway through …"
Zhao Yali had completely understood his evil intentions. She mustered up her remaining strength and pushed Luo Yuan away. She pretended to leave and said, "Maybe another day. I … I'm not ready today."
Cut 500 words!
… …
The wind and rain stopped.
Zhao Yali collapsed to the ground with a flushed face. Her entire body felt like it was about to fall apart. It was only after a long time that she recovered from her daze.
"Are you okay?" Luo Yuan asked.
She rolled her eyes at Luo Yuan and quickly stood up to put on her clothes.
Under the moonlight, the ground seemed to be a little wet. There was a big puddle of water that emitted a fishy and salty smell. She blushed and quickly rubbed her feet.
Looking at her shy face, Luo Yuan laughed and said, "I'll handle it. You should go back first. It's almost dawn."
"It's all your fault. I'm leaving." Zhao Yali scolded him angrily and quickly ran away.
