After a whole day and night of rafting, they finally reached their goal.
Slowly carrying the big burden and jumping ashore.
Fortunately, Longzu's physical strength is good, and she had a good meal yesterday, even after paddling the raft all day, she didn't feel tired, and she was still in good spirits.
When the two were climbing the mountain, they slowly went to hunt a few more prey, cleaned up the skin and flesh, and brought them back together.
She originally wanted to catch a few pheasants and take them back to raise as food reserves.
But Xingchen said that these little things would not be able to survive in the Sea of Illusion.
Slowly can only give up.
When I was resting in the mountains at night, I slowly took out the two fluorites, pierced a small hole with my claws, and then passed it through with a fishing line to make two small and exquisite pendants.
Stardust asked, "What are you doing?"
Slowly shaking the fluorite pendant in his hand: "Does it look good?"
"It's not pretty."
"Tsk tsk, you really don't give me any face." Slowly handed one of the fluorite pendants to him, "Give it to you."
Stardust froze for a moment, then reached out to take the pendant.
"Why did you give me this thing?"
"Give it away if you want, there are so many reasons."
Slowly leaning against the tree and fell asleep.
Stardust looked down at the fluorite pendant in his hand, his amber eyes shone slightly in the night.
For the first time in so many years, someone sincerely gave him a gift.
…
Slowly and Stardust returned to the camp.
Sang Ye had already received the news and was waiting at the gate of the camp. He took the mountain-like burden from Huan Huan's hands and asked, "Are you having fun?"
"Not bad," slowly took out the animal skin bag he gave earlier, "Here, there are some crystal coins left in it, I'll give it back to you."
"Keep it for yourself."
Huan Huan was not polite to him, she took back the crystal coins, and took out a fluorite pendant: "For you, do you like it?"
Sang Ye took the pendant. The fluorite, which is very common in the strange demons, doesn't look special, but looking at its shape, you can tell that it must have been made by Slowly.
He bent the corner of his mouth: "I like it."
Slowly smiled more happily, her husband is better, he can still get a smile by giving him something, unlike that guy Xingchen, who didn't even say thank you for giving him something.
When Xingchen saw her giving the fluorite pendant to Sang Ye, he realized that what she gave him was not unique. Apart from disappointment, he also felt angry.
Slowly did not notice his strangeness.
She said a few words to Sang Ye, and then returned to the Sea of Illusion with Stardust, carrying a burden like a hill.
Everything on the virtual island has not changed in any way, what it was like before they left, is still what it is now.
Slowly spread the animal skins on the bed, and then put away the items purchased this time one by one.
Life seems to be back to the way it was before.
Apart from tidying up the house every day, Huan Huan is just messing with the vegetables in the field, turning over patterns to cook delicious food every day.
When Xingchen was not drawing, he would stare at her and bustle around.
Occasionally, Slow will call him for help. Although he is not willing, he will do what she asks in the end.
Stardust likes such a small day, peaceful and stable, and does not need to contact those complicated people or things outside.
He was the only one by her side.
Xingchen took the fluorite pendant she gave him with him, and occasionally took it out to have a look.
Every time he saw it, he couldn't help but think of another fluorite pendant.
The gift slowly given is not unique, does it mean that his position in her heart is also not unique
The more Xingdust thought about it, the more unhappy he became.
He is not happy, and naturally he does not want to make others happy.
"I'm going out for a while."
Huan Huan was very surprised: "The sun is coming out from the west, why did the Wannian dead house suddenly think of going out today?"
Xingchen didn't answer, and spread out his translucent wings as thin as a cicada's wings behind him, flying away from the sea of emptiness.
After he left, slowly took it out immediately, and sat on the stool to study.
Xiaoba leaned on her shoulder, looked at the scroll in her hand, and asked, "What's in it?"
"It contains some legends about the dark abyss, including the soul-eating vine," slowly found the paragraph describing the soul-eating vine, and tapped it with his finger, "it's here, it says that the soul-eating vine comes from the abyss , lives by devouring souls, has strong regeneration ability, is immortal, and is one of the most powerful creatures in the abyss."
After reading this, he couldn't help clicking his tongue: "The Soul Eater Vine is so powerful, but it's just one of them. Could it be that there are many creatures as powerful as him in the abyss?"
"There must be powerful creatures like Soul Eater Vine, but the number should not be many, otherwise the dark abyss would have exploded long ago," Xiao Ba urged, "You continue to look down."
Huan Huan was a little puzzled: "Don't you know the words in the scroll?"
"I don't know, this kind of character is an ancient character unique to the dark abyss. Even a prophet may not be able to understand all of it. I can only vaguely understand a few characters."
Huan Huan was very surprised: "Is it difficult to understand? These characters are no different from ordinary simplified Chinese characters in my eyes."
Xiao Ba was stunned for a moment, and then pretended not to care: "Maybe the original owner of your body knows better, maybe she has seen this kind of ancient writing somewhere before, and the consciousness left in her body was taken away." You accept it, so you can understand it."
After thinking about it slowly, I felt that what it said was quite reasonable, so I accepted its explanation.
She continued to look down: "The Soul-eating Vine is not afraid of water and fire, and it is difficult to kill, but he has a weakness, which is his heart. As long as you find his heart and destroy it, the Soul-eating Vine will die with it. "
Xiao Ba was very puzzled: "This is very strange, what is his heart? Isn't his heart in his chest?"
"It is said in the scroll that after the Soul Eater Vine has an independent consciousness, in order to protect its own safety, it will hide its heart."
Xiao Ba took advantage of the situation and asked, "Where did Xingchen hide his heart?"
Slowly shaking his head: "I don't know about that."
There were only so many records about the Soul Eater Vine in the scroll, so she took advantage of the opportunity to read a few paragraphs of text, most of which were unrelated legends.
She studied the passages of Soul Eater Vine several times over and over again: "The things in this scroll are basically legends, which seem unreliable."
"It's better to believe it than to believe it. No matter whether it is true or not, try it first before talking."
Slowly nodded in response: "Okay."
Xiao Ba analyzed: "For precious things like the heart, which are related to life, they must be placed not far from you to be at ease. Xingchen has been imprisoned in the sea of illusory for so many years and rarely goes out. Maybe his heart Hidden in the sea of emptiness."
Looking up slowly, the sea can't see the edge.
"How can I find a small heart in such a big place?"
