Chapter Twenty-Nine: Feelings on the Edge of Death
When Lin Ye and Amy woke up, it was already afternoon, and the fatigue of their bodies was relieved in sleep, but hunger had always accompanied them, making their bodies weak. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info They really want to lie still and rest like this, sleep like this, and forget everything. As long as you sleep, there is no hunger, no more pain, no more worrying about whether you can pass the talent test, and no more worrying about the threat of evil gods.
No! Lin Ye got up in surprise and quickly pulled up Emmy, who was about to fall asleep again. If they do rest any longer, death awaits them.
"Big brother, what are you doing, let me rest again, I'm so tired. Amy said weakly.
"Amy, wake up, go back to sleep, and starve to death!"
Amy's heart trembled, and the drowsiness was quickly dispelled, "It's so dangerous, I almost died!"
"That's right, let's go and see if we can catch some hares or something, we don't have the strength to catch deer. Lin Ye stood up with his hands on the trunk.
Amy didn't move, just sat there preoccupied, "Big brother, do you think anyone will be sad for us when we die?"
"Of course, Hela, Francis, Aklode, Grace, they will all be saddened by our deaths. Lin Ye said affirmatively.
"What else?"
"And ...... Cut, indeed, our death is estimated to be sad for a few of them in this world, and our death is insignificant and will not affect people who have nothing to do with us. Suddenly, we felt so lonely. But as long as there is one person who will be sad about our death, we must live for it, and get rid of those so-called ideals, which should be the strength of our survival. ”
Amy agreed, Amy stretched out her right fist, "Let's go, big brother, in order to live!"
"Well, in order to live!" Lin Ye also stretched out his fist and bumped it with Amy.
Fortunately, it was not too late, and there were quite a lot of hares around, so the two of them found a suitable place to make a live button with vines, put some fresh grass in the live button, and made a simple trap, and the rest was only to wait. Amy was almost fainting from hunger, and Lin Ye was not much closer, but they were still staring at the trap.
After a long wait, it was rewarding, and a hare saw the young grass approaching quickly, sniffed a few times and chewed a big mouthful, completely ignoring Lin Ye and Amy, who were like hungry wolves.
A few leaves fell to the ground, and the hare was also hoisted in the air by the trap. Lin Ye grabbed the hare in mid-air, looking at the hare's innocent eyes, Lin Ye closed his eyes and secretly said sorry, and the knife in his hand brought out a bloody flower.
The roasted golden rabbit meat drips grease under the scorching flames, and the tangy aroma of the meat makes the two unable to hold back the hunger in their stomachs. When the rabbit meat was cooked for six or seven minutes, Lin Ye and Amy each tore off a rabbit leg and feasted on it, and within a few minutes, a rabbit was eaten by both of them. The taste of rabbit meat is very similar to that of chicken, but there are some differences from the texture of chicken. Of course, they now completely ignore the taste, and the residual gravy on the **** fingers that still keeps eating the rabbit meat. I have to say that the baking skills of the two seem to have improved by leaps and bounds because of hunger.
Half a rabbit went down, although Lin Ye didn't eat enough, he finally relieved his unbearable hunger, he leaned on the trunk of the tree to feel the breeze and the last glow of the remnant sun, and he felt something in his heart.
"The rise and fall of the sun and the moon go back and forth, and the life and death of all things are repeated, which is the unchanging law of the world, a rolling river. The birth and death of any life in this world will not affect the flow of the river, at most it will only splash an inconspicuous wave. Rabbits eat grass, we eat rabbits, and when we die, they turn into grass nutrients, and we are unconsciously following the rules of the river. Lin Ye said.
"What is this regular river?" asked Amy.
"I don't know, but we are all a little drop of water in this river, and countless droplets of water come together to form a stream, and the stream rushes down and converges again to become a big river with rough waves, and finally the sea. "Many things have become very clear after facing death, and Lin Ye feels that this is the purpose of field testing.
Amy said as if she didn't understand: "Does this have anything to do with the nature of magic and alchemy?"
"Well, actually, I don't know, it doesn't matter, it's just a feeling," Lin Ye scratched his head, "But I think as long as we understand something, we can know what the answer is." ”
The splashing sound of the water sounded again, Lin Ye and Amy looked at the stone statue helplessly, this guy came out too early today, right? Without hesitation, the two of them climbed to the tree two or three times, silently watching the stone statue and then hitting the tree.
"Big brother, the stone statue won't break the tree. Amy was a little worried.
Lin Ye looked at the big tree that required three people to hug together, "Probably not, the power of the stone statue is at most the sum of the two of us, at least for fifteen days." ”
"If you keep getting it, you're going to be annoyed by it. Amy muttered.
But no, the stone statue is tireless and hits the tree all night, it is tireless, but Lin Ye and Emi are tired! The trees kept shaking, they didn't dare to sleep, for fear of accidentally being shaken off the trunk after falling asleep.
"I think tomorrow we'll find a rattan and tie ourselves to a tree to sleep. Amy smiled wryly.
Lin Ye was also very helpless, he couldn't do anything if he stayed in the trees, and the surrounding trees couldn't jump over, and he couldn't escape. Several of the participants the two met today knew from the conversation that everyone had encountered the stone statues, and that some people ran away after encountering the stone statues, and as a result, he encountered four or five stone statues, but he disappeared inexplicably when he was about to be stabbed to death by the stone statue's spear. Lin Ye felt that someone sent by the academy should be secretly observing them, and they would come to their rescue when they were on the verge of death, but this also meant that the field test failed.
What was the purpose of the academy not letting them stay away from the stone statue? Lin Ye was puzzled. Anyway, with nothing to do, he took a closer look at the stone statue. The stone statue is no different from the decorative stone statue except that it can move and show red eyes. Red...... Huh? A smile tugged at the corner of Lin Ye's mouth.
The next evening, Lin Ye found two sturdy rattans, of course, he didn't want to tie them to a tree to sleep like Amy said. He tied the rattan to a stone the size of two human heads, and with Amy's work he pulled the stone up to the very high trunk of the tree, and sat quietly waiting for the statue to appear.
It wasn't long before the familiar and bored stone statue emerged from the water and hit the tree repeatedly. Lin Ye and Amy looked at each other, and then pushed the stone down towards the head of the stone statue. A muffled sound of "bump" startled a few birds drinking water by the lake, and Lin Ye and Amy climbed down from the trees and carefully observed the broken stone statues.
The statue's head was tattered and disconnected from its body, and its glowing red eyes were pitch black. Amy poked the statue with a stick to make sure it didn't move again, and picked up the statue's head.
"Sure enough, the head of the stone statue is not solid, there is a magic array drawn in it!" Lin Ye pointed to the head of the stone statue and exclaimed in surprise.
"What does the academy want to tell us with the stone figures?" the two of them fell into deep thought.
"Stone statues made of magic, circular magic circles, and rivers of laws are ......endless," Lin Ye muttered.
"I know the answer!" Lin Ye said almost at the same time as Lin Aimi.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and threw the stone statue's head aside, now all they had to do was survive for another twelve days.
