Xiao Zhenyun was startled and leaned back subconsciously. His hands also relaxed for a moment. The next second, he heard a crisp cracking sound. The thin branches could not bear his weight at all. The feeling of weightlessness came immediately. Xiao Zhenyun had no time to find a place to grab. He only heard a series of breaking sounds, followed by a huge muffled sound.
His back and the back of his head hit the ground.
Although the muddy ground in the rainforest was not very hard and covered with many fallen leaves, it was still very hard for Xiao Zhenyun's fragile body to fall directly from a height of four or five meters, even with two branches in the middle to cushion the impact. Then, a heart-wrenching pain came from the back, spreading to the two limbs that still had feeling, especially when the back of the head hit the ground. Xiao Zhenyun was hit so hard that his eyes went black and he almost fainted.
The birds in the forest were startled and scattered. He lay on the ground, breathing hard, and did not move for a long time.
Xiao Zhenyun seemed to have fallen asleep again, and he regained some strength. His palms were all scratched, and it hurt when he touched them. His face was also painful, probably because he accidentally scratched it. His back was the worst, and even if it didn't bleed, it must be bruised. He struggled to move himself to the roots of the tree and lay down, using the little strength he had to summon the stag.
The deer circled around Xiao Zhenyun with concern, looking anxious as if he didn't know what to do.
"You..." Xiao Zhenyun suddenly remembered that he hadn't named his spirit yet. Si Chu's dog was named Xiao Mu, and Ye Feiran's peacock was named Ye Zi. They both had the same naming style, both named after their owners. As for Si Di's wolf, it was named Tai Chi, which was in accordance with the characteristics of the spirit itself.
What about his deer
Forget it, let’s survive first and think about this problem later.
Xiao Zhenyun wanted to ride on the deer's back, but his current body was not capable of doing so. After trying a few times, he was exhausted. He could only settle for the next best thing and panted, "Help me find some water."
He picked up a few relatively clean leaves, folded them into a crude container, and let the deer hold it in its mouth. "You don't need too much. Go quickly and come back soon."
The stag lowered its head and took the bait, then quickly disappeared into the woods.
Xiao Zhenyun didn't dare to close his eyes, fearing that another poisonous snake or insect would appear somewhere, but he was so tired that he lay there weakly with his eyes half closed. There should be no water source nearby. The deer had been gone for a long time and had not returned. Instead, Xiao Zhenyun was getting drier and drier due to the spots of light that seeped through the layers of leaves. He struggled to move himself little by little to a cooler place to avoid being dried up by the sun.
His originally clean clothes were now covered in sweat and dirt, wrinkled into a ball, and stuck to his body. His long, smooth hair was tangled in balls, and was covered with a lot of tiny branches and leaves. Xiao Zhenyun knew that his appearance must be extremely terrible now. Fortunately, he was still alive, and he had a world administrator behind him. After the spaceship crashed, even if no one else could do anything, Xiao Nian would definitely find a way to find him.
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Zhenyun vaguely heard footsteps approaching him. His first reaction was that the stag had finally returned from finding water, but the footsteps did not sound like that. The sound of the person stepping on the ground was more like human footsteps. The person was not walking straight towards him, but moving forward cautiously, even stopping to observe for a long time.
