Chapter 5: A Steadfast Heart

The night was peaceful!

Yuanchen slept peacefully.

The red sun slowly rose, dispelling the thick red mist.

A little red light passed through the branches and sprinkled on Yuanchen's face, Yuanchen's face still kept smiling, and a drop of saliva hung from the corner of his mouth.

It took a long time for Yuanchen to wake up from his sweet dream.

Last night, he dreamed that he came home and ate the fragrant meal made by his mother, and his father sat on the sofa watching TV, and there was one more guest in the house, that she!

Yuanchen's eyes became very determined, he must leave this place alive and return to his own world.

The body is a little stiff, and the joints seem to be blocked from blood flow, so it takes a while to slow down before I can move my body.

After the body is able to move, Yuanchen does some exercises to move the joints and adjust the body.

After doing two sets of fitness exercises, the joints barely returned to normal.

Tearing off the strip of clothing on his right arm, the wound did not dry scar, but fortunately, it was not too inflamed and infected.

Wrap the wound again, if you don't wrap it, it will be easy for the wind to get dust, sand and stones on the wound.

Use a dagger to cut off a few barrel-shaped pieces of cactus flesh, throw them in your mouth and chew them, briefly satisfying your hunger.

However, this is not a long-term solution, and besides, it won't last long just to eat these cacti, and I don't know when the system will release the task.

You have to get out of here and get to a place where there are people.

Yuanchen cut off a lot of barrel-shaped cactus pulp, wrapped it in clothing, and left the place.

Walking towards one end of the canyon, what makes Yuanchen happy, in this canyon, the terrain is relatively flat, and the temperature is not as high as on the canyon, which saves physical strength.

Soon, after a day's walk, at least forty kilometers, I still didn't get out of the canyon.

Watching the color of the sky gradually change, Yuanchen knew that night was going to fall again.

It seems that he still has to spend the night in the canyon, but thinking of the cold last night, Yuanchen must make a fire.

Good luck last night and didn't get sick, but what about tonight?

Who can guarantee that tonight will still be so lucky?

Therefore, it is necessary to make a fire, not only to bring warmth to yourself, but also to make the flesh of the cactus less bitter and astringent when eaten after cooking.

There are no lighters, so they can only rely on traditional drilling wood for fire.

Use a dagger to chop down a few shrub branches to make a simple tool for drilling wood for fire, and then go for some flammable hay and leaves.

Everything was ready, Yuanchen took the slender and smooth drill pipe and put it on the drill plate.

Rubbing the drill pipe back and forth with both hands, the drill pipe slipped several times.

Happily, though, the small holes in the drill board began to smoke, and the black wood chips around the small holes increased.

The temperature of the palm of the hand is getting higher and higher, and the palm of the palm seems to be burned by fire, which is very painful.

Yuanchen endured the pain, if he stopped and rotated now, he would lose all his efforts.

After turning for a long time, Yuanchen saw the sparks, and the fine powder sawdust was ignited.

'Not good! Yuan Chen shouted loudly in his heart.

As a result of the vigorous rotation of the drill pipe, the face sweats, and the beads of sweat flow down and condense on the tip of the nose, forming a drop of sweat.

If this drop of sweat falls on the ignited sawdust, the effort will be in vain.

Yuan Chen hurriedly moved his face away, however!

Hmmm——!

Yuanchen seemed to hear the sound of beads of sweat dripping, like a thunderclap, slamming heavily on his heart, and roared loudly in his heart: "Don't ——! ”

Tick!

Beads of sweat fell, the impact dispersed, and Yuanchen seemed to see a nuclear bomb exploding.

"No ——!"

That drop of sweat fell on the edge of the drill hole and wet the drill plate.

At the same time, the ignited sawdust was also extinguished by this drop of sweat, and the previous efforts were wasted.

Yuanchen's face showed a look of despair, but he quickly recovered and became more resolute.

"So many difficulties didn't knock me down before, what is this difficulty! ’

Yuanchen held the drill pipe again and turned it quickly.

Although the spark was extinguished by that drop of sweat before, after all, there were already some sawdust, and this time it was a little easier than the previous one.

Soon, after more than ten minutes, the sawdust was ignited again.

With the lesson just now, Yuanchen was much more careful and did not drip sweat beads on the sawdust.

Gently pour the sawdust spark on the hay, pick up the hay to make a bird's nest shape, and blow gently so that the sawdust spark ignites the hay.

As the air was blown, smoke came out of the hay, and soon, the hay was ignited.

Yuanchen once again showed a long-lost smile on his face, it doesn't have to be so cold tonight!

After setting up the fire, Yuanchen found a few raw branches, made a simple barbecue grill, and roasted cacti to eat.

Sure enough, the cooked cactus meat is not so bitter and astringent.

With the fire, I slept comfortably through the night.

A new day came again, Yuanchen picked up a few pieces of charcoal and carried it on his body, in case he still didn't get out of this canyon today, with charcoal, it would be easier to make a fire.

Then, continue on the road ahead.

……

"Bad luck!" In this desert land, a man in a silver-gray robe walked aimlessly.

"I really don't know how anyone can appear in such a ghost place?" The silver-and-gray man in the silver shirt held a map in his hand, looking for places where someone might be present.

Recently, he was systematically assigned a task to find a person in this desert.

If it weren't for his own life, he wouldn't have come to this kind of ghost place, he spent hundreds of points and bought a lot of items, all of which were almost exhausted.

Not to mention finding someone, I didn't even see a single hair.

Moreover, after completing this task, you can only get thirty points.

However, since the system has released a task, there will definitely be people, and the system will not issue a task that cannot be completed 100%.

The silver-gray shirt man leaned against a stone, took out the kettle, took a sip of water, and was a little irritable.

There is a time limit for that task, and now two-thirds of the time has passed, and if the time comes, it will be wiped out by the system if it is not completed.

It's all to blame for the person who appeared in this ghost place, even if he suffered himself, he was also punished with himself.

The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and the more I hated the person who appeared in this desert.

However, for the sake of his own life, he should find it.

The man in the silver and gray shirt looked at the map, walked and walked, and saw a canyon road seven or eight meters deep in front of him.

Suddenly, his eyes rubbed vigorously, and he saw a figure walking out of the canyon.

After making sure it was a person, the man in the silver gray shirt quickened his pace and ran towards the man.

The person who walked out of the canyon was none other than Yuanchen.

At this time, Yuanchen was dirty, his clothes were in tatters, as if he had come out of a garbage heap, and he looked not much different from those beggars hiding under the bridge.

The black hair on Yuanchen's head also became burnt yellow, and even the hair on his forehead seemed to have been burned by fire.

It turned out that on the third day, Yuanchen still did not get out of the canyon, so he had to spend the night in the canyon again.

After lighting the fire, after falling asleep in the middle of the night, who would have thought that there was a strong wind, and it was not far from the fire, but as a result, several burning wooden sticks were blown to the side of Yuanchen's body.

That flame directly ignited Yuanchen's clothes and hair, if Yuanchen wasn't vigilant, I am afraid it would have turned into a fire that burned human flesh.

Although, in the end, Yuanchen extinguished the fire in time, but half of his hair was burned off, his clothes became tattered, his original white clothes were turned gray and black, and his face was also blackened.

When the silver-gray-shirted man saw Yuanchen, Yuanchen also found the silver-gray-shirted man.

'I finally saw a living man!' ’

Yuan Chen waved his hand happily, walked towards the silver-gray shirted man, and asked him about something, but at the same time, he was secretly wary of the silver-gray shirted man, Yuanchen had not forgotten the method of obtaining points that the mysterious voice said.

Kill someone else and you get 10 base points and half of the points that person has.

Yuanchen will not take the initiative to kill others to get points, but he doesn't know what others will do.

According to him, it is: you can't have the heart to hurt others, and you can't have the heart to prevent people!

"Hello this friend, I'm lost in this desert, I don't know if you can take me out, I'm grateful." Yuan Chen smiled and took the lead in speaking.

And the man in the silver and gray shirt frowned when he looked at Yuan Chen, because the system didn't say that he had completed the task of finding someone, could it be that the system asked him to find this person?

The silver-gray shirt's face was a little ugly, if the system asked him to find the person in front of him, then wouldn't he waste his time.

"Hey! Friend ...... "Seeing that the man in the silver and gray shirt didn't speak, Yuanchen stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes.

"No, I have ......" Before the words were finished, the man in the silver and gray shirt had a happy face, and his voice changed, "You are a newcomer who has just entered Sin City?" ”
