The snow was still falling, but it became more and more attentive and gentle, and even the sound of the light gauze rubbing was not heard, like pouring sand, and it fell without rest, and the snow probably became heavier and heavier.

However, to López's surprise, Xiaobai was surprisingly able to eat, and most of the meat went into its stomach, but thinking that Xiaobai had saved him, he silently swallowed the complaint into his stomach.

In the battle between one man and one bird, López's self-confessed amount of bear meat quickly bottomed out.

Fortunately, the two of them had their stomachs basically filled, otherwise López was really unsure if he would like to taste the taste of bird meat.

Feeling López's ill-intentioned gaze, Xiaobai's back was cold, it stood up silently, and then quickly stepped back: "Hey, stupid young man, I'm here to save you, warn you, don't come here, I'm going to call when I come." ”

Shaking his head, López smiled and walked in Xiaobai's direction.

"Seriously, I feel a little strange about this cabin. As he spoke, Xiaobai put away his playful expression, and there was a real look.

"I'm just going to add some firewood, or the fire will be extinguished in a moment. He glanced at Xiaobai helplessly, and then walked directly over it to the corner where the wood was stacked.

However, this made Xiaobai a little embarrassed: "Of course I know, I'm not kidding you, this wooden house is indeed a little wrong." ”

"Yes, yes, I think so too. Of course, judging by López's expression, he should not be convinced.

When he stepped forward, he was about to take the wood, but he didn't know what was under his feet, he looked down, and the Life Gem was lying quietly on the ground.

His eyes were completely attracted by the beautiful gem, and he just stared at it in a daze, completely forgetting what he wanted to do, until the temperature in the room began to drop again, and López's thoughts were called back again.

Seeing that the flames in the stone pile were about to be extinguished, López hurriedly ran over and added firewood to it, so that the flames and warmth did not dissipate.

After solving the matter in front of him, López turned around and picked up the Life Gem, and then kept playing with it in his hand.

"What a beautiful gem, I don't know who left it. The glow of the gem reflecting on the fire hit López's eyes, and he muttered to himself.

"This is what fell from the hilt of your sword, stupid young man, why do you think you are still alive until now, because of Lady Luck? After answering López's question sarcastically, Xiaobai began to comb his feathers again.

This made López subconsciously pull out the sword on his waist and look at it, the decorative gem on the hilt of the sword was indeed gone, but López still questioned this: "I think my eyes are not so redundant, the gem on the hilt of the sword is obviously green, remember?"

"In order to save you, the power in the gem has been exhausted, and it will naturally shatter, and it is just a coincidence that it has become like this, if you want to thank it, thank this gem, or thank nature for its miraculous work. After speaking, Xiaobai raised his head to tidy up his feathers and looked at him helplessly.

But López looked at Xiaobai with doubts, and it seemed that he still didn't understand what was going on.

This made Xiaobai smile, and then stopped talking, it finally had a chance to show its erudition.

Pretending to clear its throat deeply, it slowly spoke: "The technique of setting and using gems is unique to the orc race, but it has not been popularized on a large scale, and now it can only be used by royal nobles or generals, because it is difficult to control the technology, and gems are also scarce products. ”

"Basically, there are four kinds of gems they commonly use, power gems, swiftness gems, life gems, and strengthening gems, but gems are also divided into qualities, probably upper, middle, and lower. ”

"Strength gems are often set on weapons to increase sharpness and strength, swiftness gems are often set on shoes to increase speed, enhancement gems are often set on armor to increase defense, and life gems are used to increase the body's resilience and save life in emergencies. ”

"Among them, the most common is the Swiftness Gem, and the rarest is the Life Gem. ”

"But their gemstone system also has shortcomings, or the characteristics are more suitable, even if they carry more gems, only one can act on itself. ”

López listened carefully, and now he finally understood what the reason for his great fortune was.

Seeing a look of sudden realization on its face, Xiaobai lowered his head again and began to comb his feathers.

There was silence all around, and time passed slowly, which made López feel a little bored, and after glancing at Xiaobai who was sleeping next to him, López picked up the wooden bow that was thrown aside and slowly stood up.

However, after putting the bow back in place, López suddenly realized that the wooden house needed to be repaired, as the hook on which the bow was placed was already starting to swing up and down.

After confirming that all the borrowed things were put back in their place, López put some more firewood beside him, and prepared to take a nap, thinking like this, López's eyelids also began to linger like glue in time.

He had to lie down, and then, in order to get a slightly more comfortable position, he gently pressed his feet against the stone, and the warmth of the flame scorched López's boots, giving his feet that had been swinging in the snow a long-lost warmth and comfort.

Fatigue caused his consciousness to sink slowly, but before he could fully sleep, there was a slight noise beside him, which aroused his hunter's alertness, and his head was completely awake in an instant.

After sitting up, his hand quickly touched the dagger on his waist, but looking around, López did not find any living creatures in the wooden house other than him and Xiaobai.

Just when he was wondering, he suddenly noticed that a hidden passage appeared next to the firewood stack behind him, which instantly aroused López's curiosity.

He first ran over to check it, and found that under the hole in the direction were layers of stairs, which seemed to be deep and dark, but fortunately there were torches inside.

This enlivened López's mind again, and he walked into the hole, then took out the nearest torch, and then draped the dried mantle.

After lighting the torch, he was about to go in to find out, but Xiaobai also happened to come over at this moment: "Go and don't think that I will help you guard the fire, this is a troublesome matter, young man." ”
