As the Dark Valley was cooked, a faint aroma of food gradually filled the tree hole.
Xu Fengqing frowned slightly.
Worried that it would attract interstellar beasts, he turned into a shadow again and crawled out of the shadow "tent".
From the outside, he could only see darkness in the tree hole, not even a trace of light leaked out.
After discovering that the aroma of the Dark Valley did not spread out, Xu Fengqing's eyebrows relaxed. Just as he was about to go back again, he caught a glimpse of something from the corner of his eye.
He looked back and through the gaps between the mottled leaves, he could see a pillar of light rising into the sky. According to the direction, it should be the place where the interstellar beast riot came from during the day.
Xu Fengqing frowned again. He lay on the ground and listened carefully. The violent vibration had subsided a lot, but he could still hear it.
So, what happened over there?
Xu Fengqing got up and looked into the distance.
Maybe when Ah Sai recovered, he could take him over there to take a look. After all, they were in the same forest, and his companions might also go over to check it out. The possibility of them meeting was much higher.
With his companions, Ah Sai should be safe.
At that time, he could return this special game cabin to the research and development center, change to an ordinary one, and then …
Go and see Snow Roland.
Even if "he" was created based on Xiao Li's prototype, even if the game team had designed various details for "him" to make "him" look like Xiao Li, he still felt that it was impossible for "him" to be completely identical.
That kind of inconsistency would definitely make people "out of character", but … Ah Heng's attitude made him feel strange.
Is Ah Heng deceiving himself to this extent, or is Snow Roland really …
Xu Fengqing paused and shook his head to drive this absurd thought out of his mind.
How could such a thing happen in the world?
Transmigration and rebirth? This is ridiculous.
Xu Fengqing looked away.
Anyway, he would know what the situation was when he took a look.
He returned to the shadow tent again.
The aroma of the Dark Valley Porridge became stronger and stronger, filling the narrow tree hole.
It was clearly made with the simplest ingredients using the most primitive and crude cooking methods, but it actually made him feel a little hungry.
The nutrient solution provided by the game cabin would satisfy his physiological needs, so this was purely a psychological effect.
Xu Fengqing thought to himself, but he was troubled by the problem of how to remove the Dark Grain Porridge from the fire.
He thought for a moment, then carefully manipulated the shadows to form a cover to temporarily isolate the flames. Then, he quickly took the porridge down and put it aside to cool down.
At this moment, the flames broke through his Shadow Shield and once again filled this small space with warmth.
Xu Fengqing's fingers were still red from the burn, but because he had turned down the realism settings, it was not very painful. Only a -10 damage value appeared above his head.
He didn't mind. He looked at the bowl of Dark Grain Porridge and hesitated for a moment. Then, he picked up the remaining piece of firewood, picked up the dagger, and focused on cutting it.
This dagger belonged to Ah Sai. When he was carrying him out of the underground cave, he had been holding it tightly in his hand. Later, he took it and used it.
The longer Xu Fengqing stayed in the game, the more he felt the reality of the game.
Almost every detail was done to perfection. If it wasn't for the game interface that always existed in the void, he would really feel like he had entered a different world.
He also understood more and more why Ah Heng and the Yin and Yin families had almost blind faith in Star Age.
Xu Fengqing's expression was focused, as if he was completing an amazing work.
The flame burned quietly, and the silver-haired man leaned against him and slept peacefully. The atmosphere in the tree hole was suddenly different from the dangerous jungle, and there was a rare kind of peace.
Finally, the outline of a wooden spoon gradually took shape.
Xu Fengqing's carpentry was average, but he was patient. When the boiling Dark Grain Porridge cooled down and the porridge solidified slightly, he finally finished the last step.
"Roar!"
The roar of an unknown interstellar beast suddenly sounded. Xu Fengqing's hand moved, and the sharp blade of the dagger cut his finger. Blood immediately flowed out.
A damage value appeared on top of his head, and at the same time, there was a bleeding debuff in the upper right corner.
Xu Fengqing frowned and subconsciously pulled a rag to wrap his finger. His eyes looked cautiously in the direction of the roar.
There were animals running quickly outside, and there were a few screams occasionally. Obviously, there was a chase in the jungle.
The night was much more dangerous than the day.
After a while, when the movement outside subsided, Xu Fengqing slowly let out a sigh of relief.
The wound on his finger also stopped bleeding, and then he realized that the rag he used to stop the bleeding …
It was from Ah Sai's clothes.
He just tore a piece to use as a towel, and now it looked even more tattered.
"…"
Xu Fengqing looked at him awkwardly.
Seeing that Thanos was still sleeping soundly, he heaved a sigh of relief. He carefully put back the clothes in his hands and picked up the bowl of cold porridge.
But the sleeping man didn't cooperate. He fed him the porridge, but he didn't open his mouth for a long time.
Xu Fengqing pursed his lips in distress.
Although he knew that this was an NPC and maybe didn't need to eat, but …
Looking at his slightly sunken cheeks, he couldn't help but wonder if he would starve to death before he died of illness.
Then, he put down the bowl, reached out and let him lean in his arms. He pinched his chin open with one hand and fed him the porridge with the other.
After a few mouthfuls, the rest was easy.
There was no need for him to force it. As soon as the porridge reached his mouth, the man began to swallow instinctively.
Black Valley could restore blood and vitality, so it should have a nourishing effect. It was very suitable for patients.
After half a bowl of porridge was fed, Xu Fengqing thought of something and reached out to touch the man's stomach. He found that the stomach that was supposed to be flat was slightly bulging.
He was speechless.
This appetite … was too small. Even his Chenxi ate more than him.
Xu Fengqing shook his head. He felt that either the game team didn't do a good job in the details, or … this NPC had been living a miserable life before.
He stopped feeding him the porridge and finished the remaining half of the bowl in a few mouthfuls to replenish his declining stamina. Then he leaned against the tree trunk and closed his eyes to rest.
He planned to spend the night like this.
It was impossible to go offline. Before Ah Sai recovered, he was afraid that he would have to stay in the game. Otherwise, it would be no different from committing murder.
Xu Fengqing couldn't help but sigh. He became more and more worried. After seeing Snow Roland, could he really distinguish between virtual reality and reality?
He still couldn't figure out the answer.
In theory, players didn't need to sleep in the game, but after being online for a period of time, their concentration would decrease, and their stamina would decrease faster.
At this time, they could use drugs or sleep to eliminate such negative effects.
Of course, Xu Fengqing didn't completely fall asleep.
In such a dangerous wilderness, even with the shadows, he didn't dare to completely relax his vigilance.
Half asleep and half awake, they spent the night peacefully in the tree hole. Although it wasn't comfortable, at least it wasn't as embarrassing as the previous night.
The fire gradually went out. The night was cold. They snuggled together, drawing warmth from each other's body temperature.
The shadow tent that Xu Fengqing set up slowly dissipated as time passed.
A ray of morning light penetrated through the gap in the tree trunk and fell on Senos' face.
Compared to yesterday's weak, pale, and abnormal blush, his face finally recovered a bit of health.
At this time, Senos's light-colored eyelashes fluttered slightly. He opened his eyes slightly. There was a hint of confusion in his eyes, but he was awake.
When he saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but be stunned.
The gap in the tree trunk wasn't big, but it allowed him to see the blue sky, the dew on the leaves, and …
The sunlight was shining directly on his face.
Even if the sunlight hurt his eyes, he looked at everything in front of him without blinking. He felt a little greedy as he felt the gentle breeze blowing in.
Senos couldn't remember how long it had been since he last came out. Every day underground was the same, only day after day of darkness, cold, damp, and … despair.
He never thought that there would be a day when he could come out.
Because he couldn't move his legs and had lost an arm, leaving the cave was suicide, or adding to the already difficult survival conditions of the team.
So, he never asked to go out.
Even when Sirene occasionally asked if he wanted to take him out for a walk, he refused.
Celine was his dearest sister. How could he put her in danger for such a small matter that was completely unnecessary?
But, he really wanted to … really wanted to …
Take another look at the outside world.
So beautiful …
He silently reached out his only hand to catch the bright morning light, as if he was looking at a holy object, with a bit of sincere joy.
Senos's hand was very white, so white that it shone in the sunlight.
A child-like smile appeared on his usually calm face.
It was only when the man behind him unconsciously let out a light groan in his sleep, and that warm breath landed on the top of his slightly cold head that Thanos snapped back to his senses.
He thought of the man with black hair and black eyes.
Senos turned his head slightly and saw the black-haired man who suddenly appeared in the underground cave leaning against the tree trunk with one knee bent and the other arm wrapped around his waist.
He was protected between the man's arm and bent right leg, leaning in his arms, covered by a jacket that didn't belong to him.
Some intermittent images gradually appeared in his mind.
Those blurry images weren't his dreams. It was indeed this mysterious man who saved him, put him in the tree hole, and took care of him for a night.
Many doubts appeared in his mind, but seeing the obvious tiredness on the man's face, Senos kept quiet.
He retracted his gaze and continued to lean in the man's arms without moving. He hadn't fully recovered, but at least he was much better than yesterday when he was on the verge of death.
Senos quietly released his spiritual power.
Although he had two-and-a-half star power, his spiritual power could only detect movements within a ten-meter radius, but it was enough for now.
He carefully stayed alert. Suddenly, his eyes moved and fell on the man's right hand on his knee. To be precise, there was a scar on his right index finger that hadn't scabbed yet.
The wound must have been inflicted not long ago, and the blood didn't look like it had completely coagulated.
Senos thought for a moment, reached out his slender left hand, and gently grasped the man's finger.
A weak blue light lit up.
Although his magic power had only recovered a little, it wasn't a problem to heal such a small wound.
Xu Fengqing was a light sleeper. When his finger was grasped, he suddenly opened his eyes and saw this scene.
The scar on his finger quickly healed, and the blood loss icon on his status bar disappeared.
He watched this magical scene without moving until a notification sounded in his ear, reminding him that there was an external call.
