The raindrops fell heavier and heavier, and the two passed by a village not far from Greystone City, but they did not choose to stay temporarily.
The rain in the sky is unknown for how long it will last. The village has been looted and supplies are insufficient.
The water they brought could only last for three to five days at most. Instead of waiting here and betting on when the rain would stop, it would be better to go back to the village in one go.
They were all somewhat accustomed to rushing like this. They wore their hoods tightly and led the way to Enzai. They used the magic released by their hands to illuminate the surrounding environment and followed the path they came from.
The expression under the hood was grimacing. The rainwater hit his bare hands, burning them red and as painful as cutting raw chili peppers without gloves.
He had to use a recovery spell every once in a while to treat himself and Andrea before he could keep holding on to the hood and move forward.
Even so, the rain still entered their bodies along their sleeves and necks, and bursts of burning pain accompanied their movements.
Xiang En stepped out, but unexpectedly missed. There was a small hole hidden in the weeds under his feet. Without noticing, he fell to the ground.
Andrea, who was behind him, quickly stepped forward to pull him up. She wanted to look up at the sky, but Xiang En was held back.
"Don't look up, or you may be disfigured!"
With a horrified expression on her face, Andrea immediately retracted her head.
After scaring her, Xiang En took Andrea on the road again.
Since the rain started, the two of them had not raised their heads to look at the sky. They could only detect the changes in the weather from the increasingly violent lightning and thunder.
The two of them walked slower and slower, and the leather boots that were not easy to get wet began to get wet. If they accidentally stepped into a puddle, they might be paralyzed by the burning pain.
The muddy forest once again restricted their movements, and until the surroundings were completely plunged into darkness, they still could not get out of the dense forest.
Discarding a large amount of weight did not make them faster. The chaotic environment and the visual range of less than five meters slowed their speed to ten seconds and three meters.
Xiang En could only ensure that there were no mistakes in the route and continue to move little by little.
It was too wasteful to use his magic power for lighting, and the rain was still heavy. If he wanted to leave the forest before the magic power was exhausted, he could only reduce the loss of magic power.
…
After walking for a long time, the two stopped to rest, facing each other, covering their heads with relatively large cloaks, and their faces were very close to each other in this state.
Andrea clamped the outer edge of her and Xiang En's hoods with her hands, creating a small space to block the erosion of the rain.
Looking at the face so close, Andrea's mood calmed down inexplicably. The tranquility inside the cloak and the storm outside the cloak seemed to be in different dimensions inside and outside.
This strange feeling is like a child's secret base, full of innocence and childlike fun, but it actually gives their young minds a great sense of security.
After staring at each other for a long time, Andrea's eyes couldn't help but get wet again. She felt very confused now, and thousands of thoughts appeared in her mind, making her just want to cry.
But now is not the time…
After Xiang En simply cleaned his hands with the water in the water bag, he kneaded out square bread. The bread made with the fourth-level food-making technique was moderately soft and waxy, and both texture and taste were good.
But now is not the time to taste the texture of the bread. Xiang En ate all the parts of the bread that were not touched by his hands. After eating three pieces of bread in a row, he fed the bread he made to Andrea who was in tears. .
Xiang En sighed and said, "Eat some bread, we will survive. I will always take care of you before you abandon me."
Xiang En felt quite awkward after saying these words. If he could easily say sweet words, he wouldn't have to rent a single room to play games at home in his previous life.
Andrea choked and wanted to speak but couldn't. She just shook her head vigorously, opened her mouth and ate the bread he handed her.
After eating seven or eight pieces, Andrea said she was full.
Xiang En fed her some more water and drank some himself.
In order to save magic power, Xiang En took Andrea's hand and used the satchel he habitually carried to cover the exposed area to reduce the erosion of the rain, and walked forward in the dark.
Stumbling along the way, accompanied by thunder and raindrops, I finally crossed the forest in the pouring rain. Relying on my natural sense of direction, I walked out of the woods and saw the looming village.
After seeing the village, the two were relieved. After passing the trap totem that was still standing in the rain, they chose a nearby wooden house and walked in.
They took off all the wet clothes in the living room, almost naked, and struggled to move out the water tank. They used clean water to clean the skin that was wet by the rain in the living room.
After the burning pain on his body subsided, Xiang En used the recovery technique to treat himself and Andrea.
"Um?"
His body did not improve due to the treatment of the recovery technique. Although the burning sensation disappeared, Xiang En's body began to heat up and his consciousness became somewhat blurred.
Andrea also felt the same way, "Xiang En... I seem a little dizzy."
After staggering a few steps, her body went limp and fell on Xiang En.
This sudden pounce almost knocked Xiang Enya down, and he bit his tongue. He could only pick up the flag and drag Andrea into the room of the wooden house.
After moving Andrea, who was "as heavy as a mountain", onto the wooden bed, he began to feel that something was wrong.
The feeling of fever in the body is getting heavier and heavier, the physical strength is gradually losing, and the head is dizzy, as if it is going to collapse at any time.
rainwater
Xiang En can only think of the rainwater problem now, but he doesn't know how to solve it...
After thinking about it for a few seconds, he felt that he couldn't bear it anymore. He leaned against the bed, put his fingers into his mouth, and activated the skill Finger Dew.
The sweet dew entered his mouth, and the dizziness was relieved, but the deep sleep was about to destroy him.
When his consciousness was about to fall into darkness, Xiang En pried open Andrea's teeth with his hands and activated his fingering skill again.
The dew entered Andrea's mouth, which relieved her chaotic spirit, and finally fell into a deep sleep.
Wow!
There was a thunderstorm outside the window, and thunder flashed from time to time in the dark sky, bringing an uneasy atmosphere to the world.
That night, both of them were dreaming, and the unconscious brain fragments formed a complete dream, with twists and turns, as abstract as a child's scribbling.
There is a lot of traffic between the high-rise buildings, and there is singing and dancing in the castle hall.
Both of them dreamed of the forgotten past, hazy and dreamlike.
boom!
A loud bell-like sound fell, and Xiang En was awakened from his deep sleep. He raised his body from the floor. His arms were so soft that his body was as heavy as pressing a dozen strong men.
The room was dark and dark, filled with the sour smell of black rain. Through the gaps in the wooden boards, Xiang En could still hear the sound of rain outside.
The rain hasn't stopped yet.
After taking a few deep breaths, Xiang En propped up his body as if it had been rolled over a dozen times and climbed up. Seeing Andrea who was still sleeping on the bed, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he also lay on the bed and mobilized his magic power to release a surging technique on himself. His physical strength recovered and his body improved, but the improvement was limited.
When he continued to release the surging technique, he had lost the original effect of restoring physical strength. The weak state was not a state of fatigue, and the surging technique had no effect.
Xiang En sighed, feeling helpless all over his body, even between his toes.
World, you are a **!
He stuffed his weak fingers into his mouth to release his finger-revealing skill. After three times in a row, Xiang En looked sideways at the sleeping Andrea, and used the index finger of his other hand to pry open Andrea's mouth.
…
In a blushing dream, Andrea, wearing a luxurious dress, bid farewell to the boring guests and returned to her room.
As soon as she closed the door to the room, she suddenly felt a spin and her body was thrown onto the soft big bed. Before she could recover, a familiar man appeared in front of her!
"You! Xiang, Xiang En... what do you want to do?"
Seeing that the person in front of her was actually Xiang En, Andrea's restless magic calmed down and her heart began to beat rapidly. After realizing what the scene was, her face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Xiang En's eyes were aggressive, the corners of his mouth turned up into a playful smile, and he said nothing.
Seeing this, Andrea's eyes wandered in panic. She accidentally looked in the direction of her feet. Her eyes suddenly widened and she saw an incredible object.
It looks so strange!
Her mouth was pried open, and the dew from the healing skill fingertips forced into her mouth. Everything was unexpected.
"Cough cough cough!"
Andrea coughed violently in reality. She swallowed unconsciously and choked on the water!
Ah ~ so satisfied!
