Chapter 53: Mouthful
"Gems of Life? Nice thing. Looking at the light green energy that kept pouring into López's body, Xiaobai thought silently in his heart.
Thanks to this gem, Lopez would not have survived at all, and would probably have turned into a frozen fossil in the heavy snow.
As time passed, the color of the energy pouring into López's body began to slowly lighten, and the intensity of the energy became weaker and weaker.
Finally, with a snap, a crack formed inside the gem, and then the gem slowly fell off the hilt.
At this time, the periphery of the gem has lost its luster, but the dimness is mixed with scattered white spots, and the cracks of the gem are filled with the only remaining green inside, which looks like a towering tree shining in the sky full of stars, standing proudly.
Today's gemstones are like natural works of art, and they are extraordinarily beautiful.
Although the gem has lost its benefits, López's breathing has become much more even, and it seems that there is no major problem, now just wait for him to wake up.
But Xiaobai is hungry and sleepy now, he hasn't rested enough, and he has to maintain his huge size for such a long time, and there is not much strength left in his body.
After making sure that there was nothing wrong with López, he lowered his head and fell asleep, shrinking to his original size.
Losing Xiaobai's natural quilt, after a while, López was awakened by the cold temperature, he raised his head and looked around in confusion, as well as Xiaobai who was sleeping soundly on his stomach.
Before he could figure out what was happening, the temperature in the room began to drop again, which made López shiver, and the heavy cloak was already wet.
He had to do something, or he would only freeze to death.
He raised his hand and hugged Xiaobai, and then slowly put it aside, probably too tired, and López didn't wake Xiaobai up with such a big move.
Relieved, López jerked up, and his arm seemed to heal, without feeling any pain.
Puzzled, he wandered around the hut.
Fortunately, the emperor paid off, and finally he finally found the wood that Wright had stored in an inconspicuous corner, as well as a lot of hay.
There was plenty of wood, enough to keep López through the long nights.
With a grin, he raised his head and pulled out the top layer of wood, held it in his arms, and walked over to the pile of stones in the middle of the room.
After arranging the wood, López had to think about how to make the fire, and to be honest, he was helpless now, because he didn't expect it to be so cold in the house, so he didn't carry the flint and steel.
Scratching the back of his head, López wandered around the room again, hoping to find something useful, thinking, and turning his head, he saw the wooden bow that Wright hung on the wall for hunting.
This made him very happy, and after raising his hand to take off the wooden bow, he quickly walked to the middle of the stone pile, and after sitting down, he took out two pieces of wood from the stone pile and put them in front of his eyes, and then directly pulled out the dagger from his waist.
In fact, it was a very troublesome way to start a fire, of course, if he had a choice.
López first used the dagger to drill a small hole in one of the pieces of wood, and then he took the dagger and made the other piece of wood into a stick, and he made the lower part of the stick into a cone.
Fortunately, the string of this wooden bow is made of animal skin, and the elasticity is very good, otherwise it would be difficult to wrap the string around the back of the stick.
After getting the two improvised tools in place, López took out another piece of Polar Bear's meat from the bag and gently made a small incision, which would have a slightly immobilization effect.
Once everything was ready, López placed the hay on top of the hole, then took a stick and inserted it directly into the hole.
Throwing the dagger aside, he took the meat of the polar bear and pressed his hand to the top of the stick.
Then, he raised his other hand and pulled the wooden bow back and forth, and just like that, the stick spun rapidly.
The cacophony of grinding kept coming to López's ears, but he didn't have the energy to care about it right now, he had to pay full attention.
Although López's hands trembled from the cold, a little white smoke still came out of the wood below in the constant friction.
Seeing this, López leaned his head to the side of the wood and gently blew it upward, making his hand more and more forceful.
Eventually, a flame jumped out of the hole in the wood, and the flame began to erode the wood in order to expand its size.
In this way, López carefully put the already burned wood into the stone pile, and the flames on the wood jumped like seeing a feast, and quickly expanded his power.
The scorching heat finally made López relax, in fact, this time he was lucky, he succeeded in one time, and he used to have to do at least three or four times, but he used this method very rarely, most of the time using flint and steel.
Solving the problem of survival, López's whole body and mind relaxed, but as soon as he relaxed, his stomach began to protest constantly.
Maybe he should really thank the polar bear, thinking so, López directly took out the polar bear meat from the bag.
After taking a look, he picked up a piece of the dagger and slowly sent it to the flame, so that it continued to be roasted.
As time passed, the barbecue gradually exuded a tangy aroma, which made Xiaobai, who was sleeping again, slowly open his hazy sleepy eyes.
Following the aroma, it slowly came to the fire.
"Good morning, maybe it's evening, the damn blizzard makes it impossible for me to tell the time. As he spoke, Lopez rubbed Xiaobai's head and brought the cooked meat to its mouth.
Xiaobai swallowed it in one gulp, and his mouth kept tweeting happily.
Then López picked up a piece of meat with a dagger again, slowly stretched out to the fire, and subconsciously asked Xiaobai, "So why did you appear here?"
"Because Aya suddenly wants to write to you, maybe she misses you, or maybe she has a legendary heart, but you can't understand it anyway, alas, what a stupid young man. After speaking, Xiaobai opened his beak and sighed.
"Yes, I don't understand bird language. In response, López sent the roasted meat to his mouth, a little hot, and there was no salt to make it a little boring, but the current situation, it can be regarded as a delicacy, and he was about to send the third roast meat to the fire, but López suddenly realized that something was wrong, and he turned his head to look at Xiaobai suspiciously: "You'd better tell me that you didn't speak just now, for birds who deal with mouths, I may prefer to deal with supernatural events." ”
"What are you doing crazy? stupid young man, how can a bird speak, are you stupid?" Xiaobai was stunned, and then said again with a puzzled face: "The weather is good today? I'm so handsome? Oh, life is so good." ”
"It looks like you're happy to explain the cause and effect to me, but hopefully you're not that talkative. Slightly shocked, López accepted it.
"In this way, I also absorbed a lot of the power of the Life Gem just now. Glancing at López, Xiaobai whispered to himself, and then began to answer his question: "My knight can speak, do you think I'm just an ordinary, everywhere bird? It's really naïve, I was just seriously injured before, and my strength has not been able to recover, which caused me to be unable to speak for a while." ”
