I heard a thud, and in the darkness, a palm-sized thing fell heavily to his feet. Lu Lie leaned over and picked it up, but he was stunned: when the lump of food was thrown at his feet by the old scientist's hand, the cross-like figure in the darkness did not move at all, and he did not make anything to throw at all.

Isn't that figure an old scientist at all?

Lu Lie leaned over and picked up the lump of food.

Start with something cool and hard. With the texture rubbing on his fingertips, Lu Lie felt that this should be some kind of air-dried meat. But if you don't take a bite, you're not sure what kind of meat it is.

It's just that why did the old scientist keep this piece of meat here for so long?

He never eats himself?

Or did this guy already know that someone was coming here, and he specially left such a piece of meat for the other party to eat?

Either way, it's too suspicious.

Lu Lie remained silent, stuffed this piece of meat into his arms, and took out a handful of rations created by the dandelion-style divine ability from the spiritual world, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it. His mouth was stuffed with something, and he said vaguely, "Yes...... Not...... Old man. You meat...... The mouth quality is really good...... I don't know what it's made of, and is there anything else?"

The cross-like black figure on the other side asked meaningfully, "Why, you ate it all?"

Lu Lie laughed secretly in his heart, touched the unmoved dried meat in his arms, and said with a smile: "I have already swallowed it all." It's too little, and if you still have it, you'd better give me a few more. ”

The old scientist laughed: "You can rest assured, I want as much as I have here for this kind of jerky." Every once in a while, I'll give you another piece. ”

Lu Lie smashed his mouth and pretended to ask casually, "Old man, where did you get this meat? Did you dig it directly from the part of the Void Beast's belly? Otherwise, how could you still have so much storage after staying here for so long?"

The old scientist said lightly: "You just have meat to eat, why do you care so much?"

Lu Lie smirked twice, but he was actually scolding his mother in his heart.

......

After lying in this dark world without sunrise and sunset for more than a month, Lu Lie's injuries were already half healed, and he was able to get up from the ground and move freely. For the past month, he has been messing around with the old scientist in the dark, and he has not come up with any useful words. However, after a while, the old scientist calculated that Lu Lie's stomach was hungry, and he didn't know where to throw him the same piece of jerky. Lu Lie was also not polite, he took all the orders, but he never ate them, and only ate the dry food produced by his own gods.

Several times Lu Lie knocked on the side, but the old scientist always kept silent about where these jerky came from. But at the same time, Lu Lie didn't know how much of this kind of jerky was still around this old guy, and he had an inexhaustible posture.

At the same time, the dried meat that was left behind by Lu Lie gradually piled up into a hill, and it seemed that it was almost impossible to hide.

In the past month, the fire-raising man has searched him in the vicinity twice, but the scale of these two searches is significantly smaller than the previous one. It seems that these fire-raising people also tacitly have fewer and fewer chances to find Lu Lie.

One day, Lu Lie stood up and said to the figure in the darkness: "Old man, I thought, it's not a matter to stay in the belly of this void beast for so long, after all, I can't live a lifetime with a few broken books like you." I'd better walk around, maybe I'll find a way out of this place. ”

He had expected the old scientist to persuade him to stay where he was. Unexpectedly, the direction of the figure of the cross was only a little silent, and replied, "That's fine." Even though I tell you now that you will not be able to find your way out of the belly of this Void Beast, you will never believe me. In that case, you can take a walk on your own. ”

Lu Lie stood up, ready to leave this gloomy place. Before leaving, he took two pieces of jerky and placed them in his arms. Maybe I was really lucky and left here by mistake. You can take a good look at what the "jerky" that this old scientist has been eating for himself is.

After walking a few dozen steps, the old scientist said meaningfully in the direction behind him: "You will be back...... If you still want to eat my jerky, I'm always looking to come back. ”

(The hell is missing you.) ）

Lu Lie cursed in his heart and embarked on a dark path of exploration.

......

The old scientist is not without a point. The belly of this void beast was really big and terrifying, and there was endless darkness nearby. Lu Lie walked and stopped in it, and before he knew it, more than a month had passed. He didn't even touch the edge of the exit. What's even more desperate is that it is the pitch black in front of him that can never see his fingers, which makes Lu Lie a little suspicious, he has not explored a few steps forward in this dark world at all, and may even just be spinning in place.

Should we move on, or should we stay down and recuperate?

Walking here, Lu Lie's own heart began to retreat.

So, he made a decision.

He summoned a fluffy little dream from his spiritual world and touched her little head: "You go about a thousand meters ahead to see if there is anything unusual." If so, come back and tell me, and hide in my spiritual world as soon as you encounter danger. ”

Lu Lie had already made a plan. If there is no change in the first kilometer, he will have to stop this exploration first. After all, Lu Lie's feeling now was just like when he first climbed the giant tree, and that endless sense of space made him wonder if he was going to wander here for the rest of his life.

During the time that Xiaomeng left, Lu Lie simply sat on the ground and sorted out all the strange things that happened in these days.

Is the figure of the cross in the darkness an old scientist? What is the jerky he feeds himself? What is the purpose of the fire-bearers? What good is it for the baby-faced man to trick himself into the belly of the Void Beast?

But no matter how much he thought, he couldn't think of a reason.

Sitting silently, Lu Lie had no choice but to turn over the piece of jerky in his arms and rub it repeatedly in the dark. I want to try my luck and find out what is going on.

Suddenly, he felt something, and the blood rushed to his skull.

It's a chilling feeling.

Isn't that little smooth, semicircular inlay a human fingernail?
