Xiao Cen's thin body lay in Chen Xi's arms and finally stopped crying.
But Moya and the children were still hostile to Chen Xi and did not hide their disgust. This made Meng Wei on the side feel a headache.
During the half month that Chen Xi stayed in the team, he was bedridden. Even if his food intake was very small, he still consumed a lot of their food. In addition, treating his injuries also consumed a lot of medicinal materials.
Originally, according to their plan, the food and medicinal materials carried by the team were enough to last for about a month, but because of Chen Xi's arrival, they could only last for another half month.
After half a month, if they no longer have supplies, each of them will starve. They will starve to death before they even reach their destination!
Even Mengwei was worried about this, so he understood why Moya kept losing her temper these days.
Chen Xi looked at the hostile looks everyone looked at him and couldn't help but smile bitterly. He turned to look at Meng Wei: "Brother Meng Wei, when the tribe is short of food, where do they hunt?"
He has indeed consumed a lot of food these days, all to replenish his physical strength. He has observed that most of the food is a thick soup made from dried meat mince and bones. From this, he can judge that the food source of this team is probably All obtained from hunting.
"You... want to help us hunt for food?" Meng Wei was surprised, glanced at Chen Xi strangely, and then frowned and said, "Brother Chen Xi, you should stay in the tent to recover from your injuries. What Moya said just now was angry. Don’t take it to heart.”
Obviously, he thought that Chen Xi was talking angrily. After all, he had already seen that Chen Xi's injuries were so serious that he was almost a cripple. It was difficult for him to walk normally, let alone hunting!
"Humph, let him go. He is willing to die on his own, why should we stop him?" Mo Ya said coldly, wishing that Chen Xi would die now.
"Okay, Moya, please calm down and stop causing more trouble, okay?" Meng Wei frowned, a hint of majesty appearing on his resolute cheeks.
Moya snorted coldly and said no more, but her eyes towards Chen Xi became more and more contemptuous.
Even the teenagers and young children showed mocking expressions.
They have been practicing martial arts since childhood and respect strength. Chen Xi, a sick man, not only wasted their food and medicinal materials, but now also pretended to show off, which naturally made them more disgusted.
Chen Xi touched his nose and was speechless.
"Brother, you can rest peacefully. It won't be too late to go hunting after you recover." Xiao Cen lay in Chen Xi's arms and whispered, his big clear eyes full of comfort.
Chen Xi couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Cen, big brother is very bored staying in the tent, why don't you take me for a walk nearby?"
"Yeah!" Xiao Cen nodded sharply.
Chen Xi smiled and rubbed the little girl's thick black hair.
"Brother Chen Xi, don't go too far, just take a rest near the camp." Before leaving, Meng Wei kindly reminded him, worried that he would be picked up by some ferocious beast.
Chen Xi nodded, took Xiao Cen's hand, and walked away.
"Shall we follow him now and kill this loser?" Moya looked at Chen Xi's retreating back, hesitating on her pretty and capable face.
"Moya, the priest summoned him tonight. If he disappears accidentally, you can't bear the consequences." Meng Wei glanced at Moya lightly, which seemed to be a warning and an exhortation: "After all, we are already here He consumes so much food and medicinal materials. If the priest determines that he is of no use, then... "
"Let me handle it?" Moya's eyes lit up.
Mengwei waved his hand and said nothing, but sighed deeply in his heart.
The Land of Nine Netherworlds is indeed an extremely strange place. The sky is always dark, like a thick layer of haze, and the sun, moon and stars cannot be seen at all.
Moreover, the laws of heaven here are extremely thin, so thin that its existence is almost invisible, just like a world abandoned by heaven.
The environment is harsh, with Gobi-like rocky terrain everywhere, no flowers, grass, or trees, and no vitality, giving people an extremely depressing feeling.
"The survivors of the Nine Nethers, the place of exile... this place is really weird!" Chen Xi sighed in his heart, and led Xiao Cen further and further away, far away from the camp where the team was stationed.
"Big brother, where are you taking me?" Xiao Cen raised his little face and asked.
"You'll know when we get there." Chen Xi said with a smile. Seeing Xiao Cen reminded him of how Xi Xi was so cute and pretty when she was young. Now that so many years have passed, Xi Xi must have become a big girl, right
"Big brother, are you going to take me to hunt for food?" Xiao Cen suddenly asked in a low voice, mysteriously. There was no fear or worry in his big eyes, but instead there was a touch of excitement and curiosity, eager to try.
Chen Xi glanced at Xiao Cen in surprise and secretly praised what a smart little girl!
Gua! Gua!
In the distance, a harsh neighing sound suddenly sounded, sharp and unpleasant, like a ghost crying and a wolf howling, it was very penetrating, and there was a faint and violent roar in it.
Chen Xi was heartbroken, he's here!
In the distance, a group of strange birds with black wings and a white skull were flying in the sky, swooping down from time to time to hunt their prey.
On the ground, there was a vicious dog with three heads. It was as big as an ox, and its fur was black and shiny. It was ferocious and violent. But now, it was torn and scratched by a group of strange birds with bloody marks on its body. It was obviously surrounded and looked like it was surrounded. Very irritable and restless.
"Bone birds! A group of bone birds! Oh my God, there is also a black prison dog!" Xiao Cen suddenly exclaimed, and immediately covered his mouth and said anxiously, "No, big brother, this is a group of bone birds and a black prison dog!" The dogs have eaten many of our companions along the way, even Uncle Mengwe would have to turn around and run away when he encounters them, so let’s leave quickly.”
"Don't be afraid, Xiao Cen. Look, they will all die soon." Chen Xi comforted him softly. At the same time, in his sea of consciousness, a majestic power of divine consciousness swept out.
Uh-huh!
This power of spiritual consciousness was like thunder from the nine heavens. Wherever it passed, bone birds in the sky were half chopped by giant hammers. They let out a scream and fell down from mid-air.
On the ground, the black prison dog let out a shrill roar, and its three huge heads seemed to have been twisted off. They fell limply to the ground and expired.
"this… "
Xiao Cen's eyes widened, her mouth opened wide, and her face was full of disbelief. This scene was so shocking to a little girl of her age, it was like a miracle, and she couldn't imagine it even if she broke her head. What happened just now, and why did these extremely ferocious birds and beasts all die at once
"Don't be in a daze, let's go back together and ask someone to carry the food." Chen Xi took Xiao Cen's little hand and turned towards the camp.
"Uh, yes! Aunt Moya will definitely be very happy with these foods!" Xiao Cen exclaimed excitedly,
"That woman..." Chen Xi suddenly remembered the killing intent he felt from behind before leaving, but he shook his head and didn't take it to heart.
After all, no matter how much she hates herself, it is for the sake of her tribe that she deserves to be respected.
"What! Xiao Cen, you didn't lie, did you?"
"A group of bone birds? And a black prison dog? Is this impossible?"
"God, if there really is so much food, we can definitely hold on until we leave here!"
When Xiao Cen told everyone about this, it immediately caused an uproar in the camp. There was shock and suspicion. Some people even thought that Xiao Cen was lying. Even Meng Wei and Moya were alarmed and came to inquire.
"This is true. I'm not lying to you. You can go and take a look and you'll know." Xiao Cen raised his little face and shouted crisply.
"Moya, you come with me. Little guys, you guys are coming too. Other guards are guarding the camp and are not allowed to leave without permission!" Soon, Mengwei made a decision, although he was still doubtful.
Chen Xi stood in front of his tent. Seeing this scene, a smile couldn't help but appear on his lips.
It can be said that if these simple Jiuyou tribe members did not come to rescue him, he would have died in the Jiuyou River long ago, so he was very happy to be able to help them.
What's more, doing this is not difficult for him at all.
"You're still laughing! When we come back, if we don't find any food, I will definitely kill you!" Moya turned her head and said coldly to Chen Xi,
She thought that Xiao Cen must have been tricked into lying by this guy. After all, they were a group of bone birds and a black prison dog. How could they all suddenly die in mysterious circumstances
Even if she and Meng Wei were to attack together, they wouldn't be able to do this without going through a fierce battle.
Chen Xi was stunned and thought to himself: "It seems that this woman has a deep misunderstanding of herself."
When he raised his head again, Meng Wei and Moya had already set off with a group of little guys, and Xiao Cen followed. Only seven or eight guards were still stationed in the camp, guarding around a tent in the center.
"Think about it, that tent is where the priest lives." Chen Xi thought thoughtfully.
These days, he has learned from Xiao Cen that although the leader of their team is Meng Wei, the priest is the person they admire the most in their hearts.
Even Mengwei and Moya obeyed the priest's words and never dared to disobey.
Moreover, the reason why he was rescued and received a lot of care was also the arrangement of the priest. Otherwise, just Moya would have driven him away long ago.
"My little friend, you have nothing to do, why don't you come and talk?" A hoarse and deep old voice suddenly came from that tent.
"Respect is worse than obeying orders." Chen Xi went happily. He was also curious about what kind of person this revered priest was.
Why did he issue the decree to save himself, who was seriously injured, at all costs
"Be careful. If you dare to have evil thoughts after entering the tent, you will be cut into pieces!" Before entering the tent, a guard warned fiercely.
Chen Xi smiled and didn't care. He opened the tent and walked in.
