Helemis seemed a little absent-minded when he returned to the cave today—
This was the conclusion Lin Kong came to after observing for half an hour. The other party was sitting on the stone bed without practicing. He held the refined blue bead in his right hand and rubbed it from time to time, as if he was thinking about some crucial issue.
The temperature outside the cave was extremely low, and when the cold wind blew in, it was mostly blocked by the lush evergreen grass outside, and half blocked by the pile of firewood. There was a fire burning in the open space in the middle of the cave, which made crackling sounds from time to time, and the orange flames reflected on the cave wall looked particularly warm.
Lin Kong sat on a big rock, lowering his head and carefully cutting branches. The "knife" in his hand was still the sharp claw that Helemis had removed from an animal. He threaded a skewer of meat and slowly roasted it over the fire. He didn't know what he remembered, so he tilted his head and glanced at Helemis: "What did you do in the temple just now? Why are you so absent-minded?"
Hearing this, Helemis paused in spinning the beads in his hand. He did not hide it from Lin Kong and said without being able to tell the emotion:
[The Insect King is about to enter the temple to hibernate, and will not wake up until next spring. ]
Lin Kong was happy: "That's great, when it hibernates you don't have to go out hunting every day."
Lin Kong thought that the office workers on Earth were already miserable, but he didn't expect that Helemis and the others were even more miserable. They worked without rest all year round and risked their lives to achieve good results. The key is that they don't even have five social insurances and one housing fund plus salary. They can be eaten by the hungry big boss at any time. It is so sad and tearful to hear and see.
Helemis thought Lin Kong was overthinking. He frowned and clenched his fingertips, even the beads in his hand were deformed: [When the spring comes next year, the energy it needs will be several times more than before. If we can't find enough food this winter, even the servants of the gods will be devoured. ]
Helemis had walked to Lin Kong's side without knowing when. He did not look happy when he heard what he said. Instead, he grabbed Lin Kong's throat without warning, frowned, and spoke with a dangerous tone:
[Really? Why don’t I just kill you now? ]
Helemis looked up and saw Lin Kong touching his neck and muttering, "Didn't you say that I have a high vitality? If you really can't deliver by then, just kill me."
Lin Kong was telling the truth. If Helemis hadn't helped him find food and protected his personal safety, he would have died in the dense forest long ago. Although he didn't want to admit it, it seemed that Lin Kong's life had long been tied to his.
Helemis seemed surprised: [Why, you are not afraid of death? ]
Lin Kong's eyes widened in shock when he heard this: "It's going to snow soon, and all the animals are hibernating. Where are you going to save energy for it?!"
Lin Kong: “…”
To put it bluntly, Helemis felt that Lin Kong was lying to him and using it to improve his favorability. He hated being deceived and exploited the most in his life, so he couldn't help but feel a little angry at this moment.
Helemis didn't care about the ugly and cruel reality, but he cared about false deception. He liked this prey very much, but the other party shouldn't use this kind of thing to deceive him in exchange for his protection and leniency.
Lin Kong's tone was normal when he said this, as if he was just playing a very common joke on him, but his expression was serious. His obsidian eyes were shining brightly under the fire, and there was always a hint of smile in his eyes when he looked at Helemis.
"If you die, I can't live either. Anyway, you saved me, so it's not a loss to give you this life."
Winter is a season of death, for Linkong and for Helemis.
Lin Kong was afraid, but if that day really came, Helemis would take action even if he didn't say anything, right
There are countless insect eggs beside the deep pit of the temple. If this one is gone, there will naturally be a steady supply of replacements. The servants of the gods have never been synonymous with preciousness and value.
The Insect King lived for a full one hundred and ninety-six years. The oldest among them, such as Helemis and Shepard, were only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. Before them, countless servants of the gods were strangled to death by the Insect King for various reasons.
Lin Kong secretly curled his lips in his heart. He didn't believe that Helemis would take action. Even if he really wanted to take action, he couldn't escape. Thinking of this, he suddenly felt at ease.
Is this pervert allergic to romance, or is he having another attack
Helemis's face was gloomy, and he was obviously worried about this matter. He was about to say something when he heard Lin Kong's hesitant voice: "Then... If it really doesn't work, you can kill me then."
As a man being slaughtered, his momentum was actually stronger than that of the man holding a knife.
Lin Kong raised his chin and deliberately stretched his neck in front of him: "Come on, kill it, and I will sit here and wait for you to kill it."
If I really have to die one day, it would be nice to die at the hands of Helemis.
Even Zhou Pa Pi is not that deceitful!
Of course Helemis couldn't take action, and his expression turned ugly. He narrowed his eyes coldly, wondering if Lin Kong was really willing to sacrifice himself
This answer made Helemis feel a little strange. In the primeval forest where the strong prey on the weak, all he learned was how to devour his own kind and survive at all costs. He had never even heard of the word "dedication". One day, it suddenly appeared on a prey, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
The bonfire beside him kept jumping, just like his heart that began to beat uncontrollably, crackling and exploding into tiny sparks.
But Lin Kong deliberately asked: "Kill him, why don't you do it?"
For the first time in his life, Helemis was not angry. He changed the hand that was strangling Lin Kong's neck from pinching to caressing, and his fingertips slowly stroked the warm skin, whispering word by word: [Lin Kong, if that day really comes... ]
If the Insect King really wanted to strangle Helemis, he would not offer Lin Kong to him...
[I will eat you in advance.]
He would take good care of this prey, this prey that belonged only to him, and give him food and water. Even the Insect King could not deprive Lin Kong of his life at will.
They would spend this long winter together, and die together. Since Lin Kong was willing to sacrifice his life, Helemis should give something in return, and this was his answer.
Cruel and possessive, which is consistent with his identity as a cold-blooded animal.
Lin Kong didn't think much about it. After all, Helemis had wanted to eat him for a long time. Hearing this, he leaned over and kissed Helemis, his eyes smiling: "Okay, I'll let you eat me."
Helemis is good-looking, and being eaten by him is better than being eaten by the big white worm of the Insect King.
Helemis was very happy to hear this, although he couldn't show it on his face. He grabbed Lin Kong's neck and deepened the kiss fiercely, with such force that it seemed as if he wanted to tear off his tongue, sucking the root of his tongue until it was numb and painful.
[Come and sleep with me.]
The pervert's way of expressing his love was always so direct. Only at this time would he soften his body, lie in Lin Kong's arms with red eyes, and endure rubbing and kneading.
No matter how old you are, you still need someone to accompany you to sleep.
Lin Kong muttered to himself, but he went to bed with Helemis in his arms. The stone bed was covered with seven or eight layers of animal skins, which made it soft and warm to lie on. There was also a fire burning next to it, which made it feel like two different worlds from the outside.
This was probably the most comfortable winter for Helemis, because at this time of year in previous years he would still be meditating and practicing in the snow, just like Jia Yanxuepo and the others.
The seasons changed suddenly, and a cold rain suddenly fell at night, withering all the grass and trees. The already cooling temperature became even more bitingly cold.
Xue Bo was originally sitting in a cave practicing, but that place happened to be a windy place, and there was no shelter, so the cold wind and rain poured in, and he was soon soaked to the bone.
"It's so cold..."
Xue Amber let out a shivering sigh, with white air coming out of his mouth. He hated winter the most. Not only did he have to find ways to find food for the Insect King, but he also had to endure the wind and rain.
But this year's winter is particularly disgusting, and the insect king has entered the second molting period!
Xuebo took out his precious comb from his sleeve and combed his golden curly hair lovingly, and couldn't help but frown. Winter is coming, everything is hidden, it's hard to find a little sparrow, where can I find prey for the insect king to eat? I'm afraid they will all die when the spring comes next year.
When Xuebo thought of this, his heart went cold, and he didn't even bother to comb his hair. He raised his hand to put on the brim of his hat, and seeing that the blood moon had not risen tonight, he spread his wings behind him and flew directly into the wind and rain, intending to discuss a solution with his companions.
Xuebo had been to Helemis's cave last time and vaguely remembered the location. However, when he landed at the entrance of the cave, he found that it was covered with evergreen grass as tall as a person, so dense that he couldn't push it away.
Um
Did Helemis move
Xuepo frowned and sniffed the lingering smell in the air. This shouldn't be the case. Helemis's breath was very strong and it didn't seem like she had left.
Xuebo simply used his hands to push aside the grass leaves at the entrance of the cave and squeezed in with difficulty, but the scene inside the cave made him stand there in a daze, and he was unable to recover for a long time.
Compared to the dense forest outside which was swaying in the wind and rain, this cave was obviously too warm and bright, even a little "luxurious".
There was a neatly stacked pile of firewood at the entrance of the cave to block the cold wind, leaving only a gap that was wide enough for one person to pass through. After Xue Amber squeezed in with difficulty, she found a bonfire burning in the middle and a few skewers of barbecue on the ground. On both sides of the stone wall, someone had dug several fist-sized pits, embedded with dark green night pearls, and even some animal skins, shells and other decorations.
Looking up again, there was an animal-skin bed in front of her, with the quilt raised high, and two people could be vaguely seen lying inside. Helemis lazily lay in the arms of a man whose face she couldn't see clearly, with her long silver hair cascading down, and a small part of it fell along the edge of the bed. From Xuebei's angle, she could only glimpse a small piece of her sexy back.
[Hermes? What are you doing?]
Xuepo frowned curiously and asked a question from the depths of her soul. Heremis, who was originally in a coma, woke up instantly and looked at the cave entrance with vigilance: [Who—? ! ]
Helemis thought an enemy was coming, and he unabashedly released his mental pressure. Xuebo was shocked and turned pale. He staggered back three steps and quickly explained: [Heremis, it's me! ]
When Helemis saw that the person coming was Xuebo, he relaxed. He sat up from the bed and frowned: [Why are you here? ]
If calculated according to Earth time, it should be three o'clock in the morning. Helemis was always a little confused after doing it with Lin Kong. Just now, she was careless and did not notice Xue Amber's arrival.
Xuebo rubbed his chest and was about to speak when a hoarse and lazy voice suddenly sounded in the cave: "Who is here? It's so noisy..."
Lin Kong was sleeping soundly, but was awakened by the noise next to him. He sat up from the bed in a daze, and when he looked closely, he found that there was a person in the cave. He was wet all over, with a few leaves stuck in his hair. He looked so miserable that his eyelids jumped: "Xue Amber?!"
Xuepo was also a little surprised: [Lin Kong? You are still alive?! ]
It had been quite a long time since he last saw this prey. Xue Pei thought that Lin Kong had been sucked into dried meat by Helemis long ago, but he didn't expect that the other party was still alive and well. He was really surprised.
Lin Kong was narrow-minded and still resented the last time Xuepo took the blame on him: "If I'm not alive, am I dead? What are you doing in my house in the middle of the night?"
Xuepo subconsciously said: [I'm looking for Helemis. I have something important to discuss with him.]
As soon as Helemis saw Xuebo's hesitant look, he knew what he wanted to say, and he said coldly: [Go out and talk.]
He lifted the quilt and was about to stand up, but Lin Kong quickly pushed him back. He heard the other party's dissatisfied muttering in his ears: "Hey, you are not wearing any clothes."
Helemis said "hmm": [I'll get up and put it on. ]
He is a beast and has no shame.
Lin Kong took up Helemis' clothes and stuffed them into the quilt, becoming even more unhappy: "That won't work either. What if someone sees you naked? You'll have to wear them under the quilt."
After he finished speaking, he skillfully helped him put on his clothes under the quilt without waiting for Helemis's consent. Helemis felt weak all over, but did not refuse. Instead, he kissed Lin Kong with great pleasure.
"… "
Now it was Lin Kong who was embarrassed. He pushed Helemis and said, "Get dressed. The sooner you go, the sooner you can come back."
Helemis frowned and glanced at him: [I'm at the entrance of the cave.]
He won't go too far because the prey is very fragile and it would be bad if it was targeted by other beasts.
Xuepo was originally staring at the ornaments on the stone wall. When she saw Helemis coming over after putting on her clothes, she left the cave with him.
When I walked out of the door, a cold wind carrying rain blew towards me, and the chill instantly penetrated into my every limb. The warmth in the cave just now faded away like a tide, and there was no trace of warmth left.
Xuebo couldn't help but shudder: [Why don't we go back and talk about it. ]
It's damn cold outside.
Helemis moved sideways to block his way, letting the cold wind rustle his robe. His silver hair covered his scarlet eyes, making him look like a statue with murderous intent sealed in it.
[Let me tell you right here.]
Xuebei had no choice but to speak: [The Insect King is about to enter the second molting period. What are you going to do next spring? I'm sure I can't gather enough energy for it. ]
Helemis asked back: [What are you going to do? ]
Xuebo choked. He came to Helemis to make a decision: [My mental power is not as high as yours anyway, so I will listen to whatever you do.]
Helemis was silent this time. He closed his eyes lightly, as if thinking about something. After a moment of silence, he spoke: [Go back and wait for my news. I will come to you when I figure out a solution.]
Xuebo exclaimed "Ah" when she heard this, pointed at herself and asked in surprise: [You want me to go back now? ]
Didn't Helemis even intend to keep him overnight
