Chen Xuan endured the cold, found dead grass and branches, and built a fire. He took off his clothes and moved his body as close to the fire as possible. The fire grew stronger and stronger, and finally gave him bursts of warmth.
The next step is to dry the clothes. By the time all this is completed, half a day has passed. There are indeed too many clothes worn in winter, and some of them are thick and there is no way to dry them completely.
Chen Xuan now has a general understanding of the surrounding environment. This is a corner of a primeval forest. On the other side of the river is a vast forest, where wolves are traveling. However, the trees where he is now are obviously
It was very sparse. Chen Xuan was basically certain that this was just the edge of the forest.
But I just don’t know which part of the continent this place belongs to. Is it still in the middle of the continent? Or has it left the middle and reached the south? Only four days have passed, and this group of wolves should not be able to reach other parts of the continent.
This place has water and forests, and is close to the forest, so there are many small animals living there. Some roe deer and hares were watching from a distance when Chen Xuan made the fire. With such rich resources, that person should often take care of this place.
The place was right, but it had been a long time, and Chen Xuan didn't find a trace of human breath.
Solve the food problem first, and then look for a populated place. Once there, you can know your exact location.
An hour later, Chen Xuan finally caught a little rabbit. He was lucky enough to catch it by chance. The other rabbits hid without a trace when they saw Chen Xuan far away. Only this one was born because
After a while, it seemed that he was not very afraid of people anymore. Just like that, the man and the rabbit played hide and seek for a long time.
Without any tools, Chen Xuan couldn't laugh or cry while holding the rabbit. It seemed that his ability to survive in the wild was still in its infancy.
To tear this rabbit alive? Thinking about it, it feels too cruel. However, he has experience in killing pigs and cows, and he would choose to do this if he had to. But now is not the last resort, Chen Xuan is tearing him apart.
When he saw a rabbit, he first knocked the poor little guy unconscious with a stone.
Resisting hunger, he placed the cleaned rabbit on the fire. There was no salt or any other condiments. Chen Xuan's escape this time was too hasty, and more importantly, his preparations when he went out were too insufficient.
When the smell of meat reached Chen Xuan's nose, he was so hungry that he had no strength left. He grabbed the rabbit and wolfed it down. After eating the whole rabbit, he didn't even feel what the rabbit tasted like.
The food is far from enough, but Chen Xuan has no intention of looking for food again here. It is already late, and he must find humans before sunset, otherwise he will have to spend the night alone in the barren mountains. If
If so, you may encounter great danger. Who knows if there are other large beasts in this place?
Chen Xuan chose to follow the river because he felt that the chances of human beings existing along the river were much greater than in the wilderness.
Breaking through the thorns along the way, Chen Xuan finally heard a few dogs barking at dusk. He looked up and saw several houses appearing in the distance. Light smoke was rising from the chimneys of those houses.
Here we are preparing dinner.
Chen Xuan was overjoyed. He finally found a human being, and his adventure this time was basically over. "Ah! Why did someone's child come to us?" When Chen Xuan called out to the aunt who was lighting the fire, the aunt said
Shocked, he asked quickly.
"I... was sent by the sect to practice, but I got lost with my companions and lost my way." Chen Xuan lied kindly.
"Oh, it turns out he is a cultivator, no wonder." The aunt seemed to suddenly realize, "You haven't eaten yet, I just made some food here, let's eat together!"
Chen Xuan looked at the sincerity on the aunt's face, so he nodded gently and said: "Auntie, I still have some spiritual crystals in my hand, I will use it to exchange for food."
The aunt's face turned red and she whispered: "No need...a little food, no need..."
"It doesn't matter, my treatment in the sect is relatively good, and a little spiritual crystal is nothing." Chen Xuan was determined not to eat for free, so he insisted.
The aunt hesitated for a moment, but immediately regained her composure. She turned around and took a bowl of porridge from the pot, handed it to Chen Xuan, and said, "No need really, this small bowl of porridge is nothing."
But Chen Xuan noticed a trace of reluctance in the aunt's eyes. It seemed that the family was very poor. They only prepared porridge for dinner, and it was so late that the rest of the family didn't seem to have come back yet.
After finishing the porridge in three gulps, Chen Xuan asked: "Auntie, where are the other people in your family?"
"They went hunting and haven't come back yet." The aunt said, "Are you full? I'll get you another bowl."
Chen Xuan smiled and said: "I'm still a little hungry, but I see that you haven't prepared much food. How about you take out the food stored at home and make more food, and I will trade these spiritual crystals with you."
After saying that, Chen Xuan took out eight wood spirit crystals from his clothes and placed them on the table.
The aunt's eyes are shining. She rarely sees spiritual crystals. The ones she uses most are low-grade crystals. Only after her man kills a large beast and betrays her, she occasionally sees one or two spiritual crystals.
, now I see this kid taking out eight spiritual crystals at once, I can’t help but be surprised.
"How did this happen?" She then asked again.
"I said it doesn't matter. When I return to the sect, there will be a lot of spiritual crystals distributed again."
"Save grain, let me think about it, yes, there is also a pig's trotter." She turned around and went into the inner room, and soon took out a pig's trotter, "This is what is left over from the New Year, I planned to keep it until...
…”
She looked at the spiritual crystal on the table again and stopped talking.
After another busy period, Chen Xuan sat at the stove to add firewood to his aunt. It happened that he was still a little chilly after being soaked in cold water in the morning.
When the pig's trotters were about to be cooked, the outside suddenly became lively. Chen Xuan quickly ran out to take a look. It turned out that the hunting team had returned. There were seven or eight people, some were holding pheasants, some were carrying rabbits, and four
What the big man was carrying was a sika deer.
Seeing Chen Xuan running out of the house, one of the men asked: "Kid, are you..."
"This is a practitioner from a large sect. He got lost and asked for some water..." The aunt who followed out answered the big man's question.
"Oh! That's it." The big man didn't ask any more questions. He continued to carry the sika deer towards a relatively tall house. It seemed that the prey they collectively hunted were generally stored there temporarily.
After a while, the big man entered the house with a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old, and then shouted: "I'm starving to death. Come on, prepare some good food."
Immediately, he saw the wood spirit crystal on the table, so his eyes widened and he asked: "Where did this spirit crystal come from?"
"Uncle, I gave this to your aunt to repay your kindness for a meal." Chen Xuan said with a smile.
"What, so many spiritual crystals, um, or wood spiritual crystals, we can't make so much money in a year. So you just gave them to us?" the big man asked excitedly.
"It's nothing." Chen Xuan saw the big man's excited look and found that he had lost weight, but there was no problem. The big man, the young man, the aunt in front of him, and even the entire village were just ordinary people. As long as
Chen Xuan, please be careful and nothing unexpected will happen.
The big man was obviously very polite to Chen Xuan. When the dinner was served on the table, the big man took out his treasured wine. He persuaded Chen Xuan to drink some, but Chen Xuan refused, so the big man started pouring his own wine.
The young man had been very quiet since he came back. Chen Xuanzhen didn't know how he got involved in the daytime hunt. Looking at him like this, he seemed more suitable to be a quiet scholar, but scholars were indeed the most useless group of people in the Five Elements Continent.
After a few glasses of water and wine, coupled with the stimulation of the Wood Spirit Crystal that he had collected just now, the big man's chat box opened up. He talked about everything in the world. From his words, Chen Xuan finally knew where he was now.
It turns out that this place still belongs to the central area, but after crossing the river to the mountains on the opposite side, we reach the southern part of the continent. Moreover, this place is not far from the eastern part of the continent. It takes more than ten days of walking at an ordinary person's speed to reach the east.
And if you are a practitioner, I am afraid it will take less than five days to arrive.
Originally, Chen Xuan's squadron was marching along the oval, and the direction of advance was already somewhat from south to north. But now Chen Xuan was carried to the southeast by the wolves, almost going the opposite direction from the previous road. It seems that he is leaving
The Gate of God’s Heart is getting further and further away.
It can also be seen from the traveling route of the wolves that their final destination is the eastern part of the mainland. Chen Xuan thought that this was normal. The orcs' current stronghold was already in the eastern part of the continent, and transporting resources there was the only option.
"Chen Xuan, do you think your Divine Heart Gate is very big? Compared with our Taiyin Gate, who is bigger or smaller?" At this time, the young man spoke. Chen Xuan now knows that his name is Yang Yunshan, and he has been weak since he was a child.
, so he stayed with his parents.
"Shenxin Sect? I can't tell clearly. This sect occupies a large area, but there are only a small number of disciples in the sect." He did not give the specific number. After all, the sect's situation he did not know.
Also maintain appropriate confidentiality.
"The Taiyin Sect here is also very large and has many disciples. It is said that there are tens of thousands of them."
"This is really a big sect." Chen Xuan said calmly.
"Originally, I could enter the Taiyin Sect based on my eight-layer water attribute and five elements attributes, but I exceeded the age standard. Their entry-level disciples cannot be over fifteen years old. But I had a serious illness before I was ten years old.
I only came out of danger at the age of sixteen, so I missed the opportunity to get started!"
