When he woke up again, Lan Xiaoman found himself lying in a tent with the sun shining brightly outside.
"You finally woke up." Chu Biqiu walked in from outside.
"I...what's wrong with me?" Lan Xiaoman answered with difficulty.
"You have been unconscious for three days and three nights."
"So long? No way? I just feel like I just slept for a while."
"It's true." Yu Wanqing and everyone also walked in.
"Am I falling into a nightmare?" Lan Xiaoman felt that there was even greater fear waiting for him when he woke up.
"Are you feeling better?" Huzi asked.
"It's good, it's just..."
"Do you feel inexplicable fear or recall a lot of painful past events?"
"Yes. It feels like all the painful things I have done in the past are unfolding before my eyes, making me believe that this is true. It is just the beginning of new torture."
"This is bee venom, a weapon carefully manufactured by the system to implant the fear of animals into the human brain." Huzi replied, "Don't worry, you will be fine after the bee venom disappears."
Throughout the whole day, Lan Xiaoman lay quietly in the tent. His consciousness began to gradually recover, and he quietly waited for the next fearful memory to strike. But finally, Lan Xiaoman felt that the legacy of bee venom was slowly receding.
, his whole body was extremely exhausted and fragile. He was unable to turn over, so he had to lie on his back, maintaining a sideways arched posture, and stretched his palms in front of his eyes. Fortunately, he could see that the terrifying deformed monsters in the nightmare just now were gone, and they did not appear again.
into his eyes. Just stretching out his limbs took a lot of effort. Lan Xiaoman felt that any part of his body was in extremely painful pain.
Lan Xiaoman sat up slowly, slowly.
In my dream just now, I seemed to be lying in a shallow pit, with a pile of blood-red mushrooms growing on a pile of fallen leaves. The clothes I felt at that time were wet. I wonder if it was pond water or dew? Or maybe it was rain or rain?
It was sweat that made it wet.
Now, all Lan Xiaoman can do is lie quietly, eat some bread on the side when he is hungry, suck the water from the bottle when he is thirsty, and watch the breeze blowing gently outside, stirring the grass.
dogtail grass.
How long has this chaotic consciousness lasted? Lan Xiaoman can no longer remember clearly.
He felt that he had lost normal consciousness yesterday afternoon, and now it was the afternoon of the next day. The stiff joints were still unable to move normally, making Lan Xiaoman feel as if he had been unconscious for more than one day, maybe even two or three days.
In this way, Lan Xiaoman had no way of knowing how many demon trackers the tracking bees had killed. Apart from the rotting body of a woman next to the camp, was there any more? Did they also die from being stung?
Of course, if they were still alive, their current situation wouldn't be any better. How's Shuang'er doing? She's so petite, it doesn't take a lot of bee venom to kill her. But... maybe she won't
She was stung because she had already left the range of the tracking bee.
At this time, Yu Wanqing walked in, saw Lan Xiaoman like this, and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
Lan Xiaoman opened his eyes, looked at her, and replied: "The stink in my mouth is too strong, drinking water won't help. Please help me think of a way to reduce the bad breath."
"Have you ever had bad breath?"
"A little bit, but definitely not as serious as it is now."
"Then let me think of a way." After Yu Wanqing finished speaking, she was about to walk out. Chu Biqiu walked in. After figuring it out, she said, "Just use honeysuckle juice."
"Come on, I'll pick it for you."
The two walked out of the tent and came to a honeysuckle bush, picked a flower, quickly walked into the tent, pulled it out gently, and dripped the nectar on Lan Xiaoman's tongue.
Lan Xiaoman only felt a sweet taste spreading in his mouth and going down his throat. It brought him back to his beautiful memories. He thought of the honey in his hometown and the last words he said to his parents.
"Ahem..." Lan Xiaoman suddenly coughed, and it became more and more intense. A smelly object spurted out from Lan Xiaoman's throat. The irritating smell quickly filled the entire tent. Chu Biqiu quickly rolled up
Tarpaulin to allow air circulation.
Yu Wanqing supported Lan Xiaoman and saw that his face, which was pale just now, was gradually returning to blood red.
"Xiao Man, are you okay?"
"I...I'm fine." Lan Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "I'm much better now."
Seeing that Lan Xiaoman was recovering well, both of them felt relieved.
"Honestly, can we reach the main area of the system?" Yu Wanqing asked.
"What?"
"Can we find the entrance?"
"Yes." Lan Xiaoman replied, "I think we can set off tomorrow."
The next day, Lan Xiaoman first wanted to regain his physical strength. His body was severely dehydrated and the water in the bottle was about to run out. The few kilograms of meat he gained by eating and drinking in the luxury hotel before entering the system have now been consumed.
It's over.
In addition, Lan Xiaoman was also covered in injuries - burns, scratches, bruises from hitting the tree, and poisonous packets from wasp stings. However, the poisonous packets were much better than before. Chu Biqiu used a special method to
The ointment is very effective in treating burns and removing the poisonous packets.
"First we need to get water." Lan Xiaoman said, "Then we can hunt while walking."
"At this rate, we won't be able to walk a few miles every day." Xiao Feiyan said.
"Take your time and you will find it." Yu Wanqing encouraged.
Lan Xiaoman couldn't walk fast, and there would still be some pain if he moved his joints violently, so everyone adopted the method of walking slowly when hunting.
Within a few minutes, Chu Biqiu found a rabbit and hit it with an arrow. The arrow still passed through the rabbit's eye cleanly as usual.
After walking for about an hour and a half, we found a small stream that was shallow but wide enough for everyone. The sun was hot, and while the water was being disinfected, Lan Xiaoman took off his coat and waded into the slow stream.
His whole body was extremely dirty. He wiped the water on his body and washed away the dirt on his body. Finally, he lay in the water for a few minutes and let the stream wash away the smoke, blood stains and dead skin from burns. Lan Xiaoman continued
I washed the clothes again and put them to dry in the bushes.
Chu Biqiu and others were roasting hare meat in the small forest nearby.
Lan Xiaoman sat on a rock beside a sunny stream. His stomach growled again. Huzi handed over a piece of roasted hare meat, ate a few more biscuits and some beef, then grabbed a handful of moss,
Wash the blood off the silver crossbow.
"You're recovering well." Yu Wanqing came over from behind.
"Sister Yu, I'm fine."
"Now that everyone is fine, I feel relieved."
Now Lan Xiaoman's spirit began to cheer up, and it was Chu Biqiu who helped him deal with the wound. Then he put on the freshly dried clothes.
"Where should we go?" Yu Wanqing asked.
"Walking along the stream seems to be the smartest choice now." Lan Xiaoman replied, this was the way he chose the direction when playing games in the past.
"Why?" Xiao Feiyan was a little impatient again.
"We people need to drink from the stream, and so do the prey. This way we won't starve." Lan Xiaoman said.
"Well, I also agree with Xiao Man's opinion." Xiang Hu also expressed his position.
Luck was still taking care of them. As the evening approached, they quickly caught a few turkey-like birds, which looked edible. After setting up camp, Xiang Hu prepared to light a fire to barbecue. It was easy to hide the smoke at dusk.
At night, they put out the fire again.
Lan Xiaoman slaughtered and cleaned the prey. He was very careful with the birds because he had never seen such a bird before, but it looked like it should be fine. After the feathers were plucked, it was about the same size as a chicken usually raised by a farmer.
But the meat was fatter and firmer. He put the meat on the fire to roast, and suddenly there was a crackling sound in the woods nearby.
Everyone reacted quickly and immediately turned to the direction of the sound, carrying their bows and arrows on their backs. There was no one, at least Lan Xiaoman didn't see anyone, and then everyone saw a furry squirrel emerging from behind the tree. Everyone became nervous.
Immediately relaxing, Xiao Feiyan even grinned. Pine trees are the spirits here, they can move in the forest like shadows.
Lan Xiaoman said: "The meat is roasted, everyone come and eat."
"Is this how you eat it?" Shuang'er asked.
"How else can we eat it?" Lan Xiaoman looked at her strangely.
"I mean, can I find something to put in it, which will make it taste better." After Shuang'er said that, he really went to find some root plants to accompany the meal. When roasted on the fire, these plants smell like parsnips.
Sweet and fragrant.
She also knew this bird, which was called a parsnip in her hometown. She said that sometimes these birds flew in flocks to the orchards, so that they could have a feast.
Everyone had their stomachs filled and there was no conversation for a while. The meat of the parsnip bird was very fragrant and had a lot of oil. The oil flowed out from the corners of the mouth when chewing.
"It's so delicious," Xiao Feiyan sighed and said, "I haven't eaten such good food in a long time."
"I dare say that even Feiyan has never eaten meat. It's better to eat that one too." Chu Biqiu said.
"Really?" she asked.
"You can eat as much as you want, and then go and fight after you finish eating," Huzi said.
Xiao Feiyan still looked at the leg hesitantly.
"Eat it quickly," Yu Wanqing said, putting the bird's leg in her hand. "This can only be kept for a few days, and we still have a few birds."
As soon as the bird leg was in hand, Xiao Feiyan took a big bite. It seemed that she was hungry.
Xiao Feiyan was full and embarrassed to do nothing, so she used her expertise and suggested that everyone arrange all the food in a planned way. She was responsible for everyone's diet. In addition to most of the food, there were also a few biscuits and some beef.
, she picked a lot of roots, nuts, wild vegetables, and even some berries.
Lan Xiaoman picked up an unfamiliar fruit and asked, "Are you sure this is edible?"
"Tch, I'm still wrong! We have this kind of fruit in our hometown, and I don't know how many times I've eaten it." She said, putting a handful of small fruits into her mouth.
Lan Xiaoman took a bite carefully, and it tasted almost like the kiwi he usually eats.
Yu Wanqing asked Lan Xiaoman to make plans for a few days. Xiao Feiyan also had a bamboo kettle.
