Chapter 5: Miracles

A red light was reflected on the surface of the lake, and it shot straight into the sky, like a sharp arrow piercing the sky.

Duan Mo raised his head in the direction of the light, and then saw the source of the light, and then, there was only shock in his eyes.

"What is this......"

Behind the lush forest, a tall obelisk stands in the distance.

Due to the distance, Duan Mo couldn't see the lower half of the obelisk, but even if he could only see half of it, the scene was shocking enough. The material of the obelisk was not like anything Duan Mo had ever seen - it was glowing with the white light of metal, like aluminum skin, but it also had the heaviness of stone. It was a diamond-shaped shape narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, three or four hundred meters high, and in the center of the obelisk, a red light shot into the sky.

It's definitely not natural, it's not even human-made, it's more like some kind of futuristic technology. On such an isolated island full of prehistoric animals, a super-technological building appeared, and this huge tearing sensation made Duan Mo unable to figure out what kind of world he was in.

Duan Mo estimated that this obelisk was at least five kilometers away from him, and from such a distance, Duan Mo couldn't see the details of the obelisk, but Duan Mo was completely sure that there was definitely a secret about this strange island hidden on the obelisk!

However, Duan Mo couldn't get to the obelisk at all. He was separated from the obelisk by a large forest, and as a weak human, he would never be able to cross the jungle.

Thinking of this, Duan Mo was a little desperate. Every cell in his body was desperate to get out of this hellish place, and the obelisk probably had a way to leave, but there was nothing he could do.

He sighed, regretting that he had gotten rid of Zhu Xingxing—if she was there, maybe she would be able to tame a beast of prey, and then they would be able to cross the forest?

Millions of years ago, humanity reached the top of the food chain through solidarity and cooperation, and today only cooperation can survive.

It's just that Zhu Xingxing has long since disappeared, and the ghost knows where she went, Duan Mo shook his head, stood up, and continued to cut down the tree. But the presence of the obelisk made him uneasy, and every few minutes he had to glance in the direction of the red obelisk.

The chaotic thoughts seriously affected Duan Mo's work efficiency, and even made him forget about a more important thing - food.

When his stomach rumbled, Duan Mo realized that he hadn't solved the problem of food yet. Realizing that he had to forget about the obelisk for a while, he strode out into the jungle to find some berries, despite the aches and pains in his body.

It was late afternoon, and the light in the woods was already a little dim, and he searched carefully among the dense ferns, but after a long time, he found nothing—not even a single ant.

Duan Mo was a little anxious, if he couldn't find food before dark, he would have to survive the night hungry, and after a night of hunger, would he still have enough strength to hunt tomorrow?

His body was exhausted from a day's hard work in cutting down trees, and he wished that someone would serve him a good meal at this time, so that he could sleep well.

With no harvest in the woods, Duan Mo could only drag his aching body back to the lake again. In desperation, he broke a few branches from the trees beside him, and reluctantly made a spear, trying to catch a fish from the lake with this spear.

However, when he made the spear, the sun had completely set, the lake was pitch black, and the location of the fish was already invisible.

Without the sun, the temperature of the lake dropped rapidly, and Duan Mo couldn't stand the freezing after a while, so he could only return to the shore. It was getting late, and it was useless for him to do anything now, so he could only minimize his physical exertion and sit in a daze.

Just as he was suffering from hunger, a savior finally appeared.

A figure slowly walked from a distance, and Duan Mo fixed his eyes and saw that it was actually Zhu Xingxing.

At this moment, the girl was holding a coelacanth in her left hand and a bunch of berries in her right hand, and she stopped timidly in the distance, not daring to approach Duan Mo.

"I found some ...... to eat," she whispered, "you can eat something......

Duan Mo narrowed his eyes, "Why are you back again?"

Zhu Xingxing didn't dare to answer, she put the fish and berries in her hand on the ground, turned around and walked towards the darkness.

Duan Mo rubbed his hair irritably, and finally he sighed and shouted, "Come back to me!"

Zhu Xingxing had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and immediately limped back to Duan Mo.

Duan Mo's face was full of helplessness, "You want to buy me for a little food?" let me tell you, I've already eaten, and I'm not hungry at all!"

It's just that as soon as this sentence came out, there was a "gurgling" sound from his stomach.

The corners of Zhu Xingxing's mouth rose slightly, "Don't hold on, you must be hungry after a busy day, right?" ”

Duan Mo's face turned red, but fortunately, it was dark around him, and Zhu Xingxing couldn't see his face. He snorted, stood up, picked up a few rocks and branches from nearby, and built a campfire.

After lighting the fire, he skewered the fish on the spear and roasted it quickly.

"Let me tell you, I'm not the kind of soft-hearted person, when I escaped from the tribe, I killed a lot of people! I just fancy your food, I'll still drive you away after I'm full, you're a burden......" Duan Mo chattered while grilling fish, and Zhu Xingxing just smiled and kept nodding, giving Duan Mo enough face.

Faced with Zhu Xingxing's attitude, Duan Mo felt that he couldn't pretend to be fierce no matter how he pretended, he glared at Zhu Xingxing, and then asked, "How did you catch this fish?"

Zhu Xingxing said with a smile: "Coincidentally, I walked along the river I passed by, and suddenly saw this fish entangled in aquatic weeds, so I killed it." ”

"Hmph, stupid people are just stupid blessings. Duan Mo said as he swallowed his saliva. "And what about these berries? You have such a bad wound on your leg......

"Actually, the injury is not serious, and I can still move freely. Zhu Xingxing hurriedly said.

However, by the light of the fire, Duan Mo could clearly see Zhu Xingxing's pale face. The injury on her leg didn't look like it was "not serious" from any angle, and Zhu Xingxing was just afraid that Duan Mo would really drive her away, so she was so hard.

This little girl is really strong......

Duan Mo stopped talking, and Zhu Xingxing didn't dare to take the initiative to speak, so the two fell into silence. The fish was cooked after a while, and Duan Mo unceremoniously ripped off a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, but he was so hot that he exhaled.

"Don't worry, these are all yours!" Zhu Xingxing hurriedly pushed those berries in front of Duan Mo as well.

Duan Mo said: "Of course it's all mine, since you want to be courteous, you can be hungry yourself." ”

Zhu Xingxing didn't show any dissatisfaction, just stared blankly at the fire.

Having said that, Duan Mo only ate a third of the fish. Even if all these things entered his stomach, it would be difficult to eat enough, so after he relieved his hunger a little, he threw the rest of the food to Zhu Xingxing.

Not only that, but he also burped extremely exaggeratedly, patted his empty belly and said, "I'm full, you can dispose of the rest of these things." If you don't want to eat it, just throw it away. ”

Of course, Zhu Xingxing knew that Duan Mo was deliberately reckless, but she didn't say anything, just silently took the coelacanth, tore off the fish flesh little by little and stuffed it into her mouth.

Duan Mo had something in his stomach, and his hunger was no longer so unbearable, he lay on the soft sand, looking straight at the obelisk in the distance. After a day's hard work, sleepiness struck, and Duan Mo quickly fell asleep......

Early the next morning, Duan Mo woke up from freezing.

Zhu Xingxing curled up beside him again, his brows furrowed, and he seemed to be sleeping unsteadily.

Duan Mo stretched and looked around. The isolated island in the early morning is still beautiful, the sun is shining on the lake, and the air is full of fresh smells. It's a pity that behind this beautiful scenery, there are countless dangers hidden.

In the open space not far away, there were lying pieces of wood that had been cut down by Duan Mo, and Duan Mo was going to simply dispose of these woods today and lay the foundation of the wooden house.

However, before that, Duan Mo needed to check Zhu Xingxing's injuries first.

Since he had already eaten other people's things, he naturally couldn't drive them away, so Duan Mo had to have a full understanding of Zhu Xingxing's physical condition.

He slowly pulled up Zhu Xingxing's trouser leg and couldn't help but gasp.

Her calves were bloody and miserable, and the wounds were already festering, and if left untreated, she would have died.

But where does Duan Mo know how to save people? The only medical knowledge he has is still from TV dramas, for this situation...... The practice in the TV series seems to be to cut off the rotten flesh and let the wound grow naturally.
