Chapter 6: Escape

Early the next morning, Xing'er went out for a walk, and Feihe followed uneasily.

"What's that?" Xing'er pointed to a behemoth not far away.

Feihe flew over to check, and then beckoned Xing'er over: "There is no danger, come here." ”

"Tiger beast?! There are few beasts in the dark forest that are its opponents, why is it lying here, is it dead? Xing'er squatted down as she spoke, she looked carefully and then continued, "I didn't see the wound, it's so strange!" ”

Feihe lay down and sniffed it, observed the surroundings again, and said with relief: "It ate this fruit by mistake, also known as the sleeping fruit, only one such a big tiger beast can sleep for a day and a night, I don't know how many it ate." ”

Xing'er followed Feihe's finger, it was a purple berry, and there were a few tufts of hare hair scattered next to the berry, presumably the tiger beast was too anxious to eat the hare.

"I just saved my effort and took it home to improve the food." Feihe happily lifted the tiger beast up.

"Okay." Xing'er replied, taking advantage of the time when Feihe was holding the tiger beast, he picked a few berries and held them in the palm of his hand.

Back in the cave, Feihe peeled and washed the tiger beast and put it in a pot to boil.

Xing'er secretly added the berries she had picked, and she was afraid that Feihe would find out that she observed the pot for a while, and found that although the berries were purple, they had dissipated their color when they were put into hot water.

"Xing'er likes to eat the meat of this tiger beast? I see you've been standing by the pot for a long time. Feihe came over with a stone bowl.

Xing'er was startled and hurriedly replied, "It smells very good, I don't know how it tastes." ”

"It's ripe, why don't you try it!" Feihe took out the meat.

"I still don't eat it, and I lose my appetite when I think of the appearance of the tiger beast." Xing'er hurriedly made an excuse and picked up the wild fruit next to him.

Feihe didn't force Xing'er, Xu was hungry and ate two bowls alone.

"Ahh As soon as he finished speaking, Feihe fell to the ground.

Xing'er walked up to Feihe, patted him on the face, and shouted a few more times: "Feihe, Feihe!" ”

Feihe didn't react, still sleeping soundly.

Seeing that the berries worked, Xing'er went to the stone bed and picked up the jade pendant and walked outside.

Feihe said that there is a river in the dark forest, and you can walk along the river to get out. Xing'er had seen the river when she was on Feihe's back, and she walked in the direction of the river from memory.

It was getting dark, but the river hadn't yet appeared. This forest is called the Dark Forest because it is dark all year round, and at night you can't see your fingers. Xing'er couldn't continue on her way, so she found a small cave when it was completely dark. The cave was extremely damp and narrow, and Xing'er sat there and missed his comfortable stone bed, as well as the fire that Feihe had lit early. But Xing'er doesn't regret it, because her life has become colorful after she met Hiko, and she must find him.

Because of that terrifying legend, the beasts in the dark forest all knew about Xing'er's existence, and none of the beasts approached around this cave, and the surroundings were very quiet, and Xing'er fell asleep unconsciously.

"Tick, tick!" A dripping sound woke Xing'er, and she opened her eyes to see that it was already dawn.

"Hmm......" Xing'er stretched out of the cave.

She picked a few wild fruits, and when she ate the third one, the sound of rushing water came to her ears.

"It's the river!" The stars sprang up.

No wonder the cave where I stayed last night was very wet, and it turned out to be not far from the river I was looking for.
