It didn't take long for the aquatic plants near the lake to become less and less, and gradually felt that they were not enough, because the aquatic plants in the lake not only had to provide people with some food, but also dried them to serve as firewood, and more importantly, the platypus consumed too much, which caused the depletion of the aquatic plants in the surrounding lakes. Someone saw that the platypus ate too much aquatic weeds and suggested that they be slaughtered, so that not only could they save some aquatic weeds, but also provide them with some meat. But Heng'er disagreed, he always thought that platypus was a very spiritual animal, they were timid and gentle by nature, but they also made great contributions in the second battle against the evil beast, and they couldn't treat them like this, maybe they would have to rely on them to get out of this other world.

Faced with the problem of fuel shortage, Heng'er suddenly thought of a good solution, that is, to dry the platypus's feces and use them as fire. As soon as his attention came out, it immediately aroused the ridicule and opposition of some people, and some people secretly discussed behind their backs: "How can this platypus's dung be used to make a fire? ”

Heng'er didn't take it seriously at all in the face of all kinds of wrongdoings and ridicule, thinking that the platypus was a large herbivore, just like the cattle in the Central Plains, and there were many incompletely digested fibers in its dung, which could be burned like cow dung after drying. Whether his judgment is correct or not depends on the test. So he took some of the dried platypus droppings himself, and with the help of several people, set them on fire with dried water weeds, and at first there was no sign of burning, and he smelled the smell of feces, and the people who helped him saw that there was no result as expected, and they all left. And Heng'er didn't give up, with the prolongation of the burning, the miracle finally appeared again, only to see that the dung was finally burned red by the fire, and then saw some small fires, Heng'er shouted happily: "I succeeded!"

Shang Zhongbao and the others heard Heng'er's cry and rushed over, they saw that the dung was on fire, and they forgot all the stench from the burning dung for a while. They've found a fuel to turn waste into treasure, and they're ready to eat cooked food.

As time passed, the idea of getting out of the other world gradually came on the agenda.

"Brother Shang, let's stock up on some dried meat and aquatic plants, and let the platypus lead us and prepare to get out of the other world. We can live here for a while, but it's not a place for us to stay long. "Heng'er said to Shang Zhongbao one day.

"We've wanted to discuss this otherworldly matter with you for a long time, but we didn't know how to go for a while, so we put this matter on hold. You say let the platypus take us out of this otherworld, how do they know where we're going?"

"You don't know, I was able to find you, it's all thanks to the platypus, they brought me to you. You don't look at them with well-developed limbs, huge bodies, and not simple minds, but I always think that they are quite spiritual. These days, I have been with them, communicating with them with gestures and simple calls, and I have understood a lot of their animal language and body language, and I am dissatisfied with you, but I have basically mastered some of the methods of communicating with them. In particular, communication with the platypus king is more skillful. ”

"No wonder I often see you with platypus, learning some of their sounds and making all sorts of gestures, and I thought you liked to play with them, and I didn't think you had that purpose. ”

"I've said a long time ago that we'll have to rely on platypuses to get out of this otherworld, now it seems. I have to rely on them. ”

"Oh, I see, I thought you said that you relied on them to get out of the other world, and you meant that they were just our mounts, but I didn't expect this to be the case. ”

"Being a mount is one thing, it's more important to be a guide, that's what it's really about. ”

"It would be great if you could communicate with them and take us out of this otherworld. ”

"I know very well that I basically understand their animal language and body language, and I shouldn't have a big problem using them as a guide. However, we had to prepare plenty of food and water, and use some of the skins that had been peeled off to make bags filled with dried meat and aquatic plants. When leaving the lake, take some animal bones with you as much as you can, and if you encounter some evil beasts on the road, these animal bones can be used as some weapons. The platypus can take us with us the material we use. ”

When Shang Zhongbao heard the last sentence of Heng'er's words, "The platypus can carry us with us the fuel we use", he couldn't help but smile, he thought that Heng'er was not wrong at all, there was a lot of feces fuel in the platypus's stomach.

"We're basically ready for these, but the lake hasn't been loaded yet. ”

"Don't rush to pretend, I'll see if we can walk along the lake for a while, and it's not too late to pretend when we leave the lake. ”

"Okay. ”

In order to get on the road, they all slept well in the cave, and when they awoke, the sky was as bright as usual, with golden light, illuminating the desolate land transparently.

They made all preparations for the road, and Wang Heng'er took the little crocodile elephant beast to his mother's grave and knelt down. When the people present saw Heng'er kneeling, they also knelt down one after another. Heng'er bowed to her mother's grave and said: "The child is not filial, and I couldn't bring you home in your lifetime, which is the biggest regret of being a son." If you leave here today, you don't know if you will be able to break out of the other world, so you can't take your old man's remains with you on the road. If one day, the child can lead them out of the other world and return to the other world, the child will definitely come back and bring home the remains of your old man, now you can only wronged your old man, you can only be with the people who died in this other world. After that, Heng'er cried bitterly.

"We must break out of the other world, and let the spirits of the dead in heaven be proud of us. Shang Zhongbao and they said in unison.

Heng'er endured her grief and stood up, and then the others followed suit. Wang Heng'er walked up to the platypus king and communicated with the platypus king with simple gestures and voices, the platypus king nodded and called a few times, and it quickly understood Heng'er's intentions. Heng'er took the little crocodile elephant beast and jumped on the back of the platypus beast, this time the road may be far away, and now he has brought a small crocodile elephant beast, he is afraid that the head of the platypus beast king will carry them, the pressure is too great, it is inconvenient to walk, so it is more secure to sit on its back. Heng'er got on the platypus's back, the little guy sat in front of Heng'er, as if it was a matter of course, Heng'er couldn't help but smile, he saw that other people were also like him, on the back of other platypus, Heng'er patted the platypus king's body, and shouted: "Go!"

The Platypus King rushes to the front and leads the way. The other platypuses followed.

The platypus king took Wang Heng'er and they walked along the lake, Heng'er could see that the road they took was the road that the platypus took Heng'er to the hillside, which was equivalent to walking back for Heng'er and the platypus, Heng'er thought, it stands to reason that the other world should not be far from the place where he first came to this other world, and it should make sense to go back, he firmly believes that the platypus will not take them the wrong way.

After walking for a while, Heng'er saw some of the remains of some dead crocodile elephant beasts, Heng'er saw that this was the place where he had teamed up with the platypus to defeat the crocodile elephant beasts, although he was in this other world, the sense of direction was still very strong, his judgment was right, they were walking back.

"Brother Shang, I think that after I came to this desolate world, it was here that I fought the crocodile elephant beast with the platypus. ”

"You mean to say we're going back to where you were?"

"Yes, back to where it was. ”

At this moment, the platypus beast king's head turned, and it was about to leave the lake, Heng'er patted it twice on the back, it automatically stopped, and Heng'er said: "Brother Shang, it seems that my beast king is going to take us away from the lake, let's stop quickly and fill up some lake water for later use." ”

"Good. Shang Zhong made a gesture, "A few of you, come down with me to fill water." ”

Several people who were ordered by Shang Zhongbao came down one after another and loaded the lake with water.

At the same time, Heng'er took the little crocodile elephant beast off the back of the beast king and went to the lake to drink water. There must be some time to get out of the lake this time, so you need to drink enough water.

Heng'er took a look, the water was ready, and the duck beast water had drunk enough, so he took the little guy on the back of the platypus beast king again, and with a slap of his hand, they started a new journey again.
