Chapter 5: The Way Out
Night Dust had finally returned to where he had woken up, and it was not feasible to go straight ahead, at least until he had collected enough red fruit for him to travel far. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After returning to the square spot and resting for a while, Nightdust planned to probe in the direction of both sides, although he didn't have much hope that he could find a way out from both sides, but he still had to try.
Carefully grasping the red fruits in the palm of his hand, this fruit is the key to whether he can survive here, but he dare not be careless.
For the feeling of loneliness, Yechen is not only not afraid, on the contrary, he even has a feeling of enjoyment, which is not only related to his profession, but also has a lot to do with his interests and aspirations.
Yechen's dream since childhood was to explore this vast universe, although the events of these days have subverted his cognition and impacted his mind, but in that endless period of time, he has seen through it, and even some enjoy the process of constantly seeing and understanding new things.
His parents have passed away, and he has not started a family, so naturally there is no emotional tie at all, in fact, the best destination that Yechen has ever thought of for himself is to drive a spaceship alone and sail to the depths of the magnificent sea of stars to explore the mysterious unknown, even if he dies, it doesn't matter.
Now this dream is shattered, but, perhaps, I can go in another way, riding the tripod, or flying the sword?
Touching his chin, Yechen smiled dumbly, in that period of time, he saw many powerful and incomparable creatures, and the power of those creatures was the most advanced weapon in human society in Yechen's opinion, and compared to it, it seemed to be overshadowed.
Chasing the stars and chasing the moon, shattering the stars, Yechen always thought that this was something that would only appear in novels, but he didn't expect to see it in those pictures.
Since these things are true, then I should be able to cultivate, right? Maybe through my cultivation, I can also achieve something in the future? I don't want to think about such a powerful thing as Starfall in the snap of my fingers, it would be good to be able to bear the sea and the mountains, and to point to the land as the river, no matter how bad it is, it is okay to be able to fly into the sky, even if it is by flying sword.
Thinking of these things in his mind, Yechen's footsteps did not stop, and he still walked forward steadily.
Thinking about these things is not all because of the optimism of the night dust, it is really that the mechanical walking is too tormenting, and the physical torture is just that, and the spirit is still more relaxed, and thinking about these things in the mind, it is natural to forget the walking under your feet for the time being, and the time will be better.
The direction that Yechen chose this time was to go to the left, he didn't deliberately choose a certain direction, anyway, he would have to walk again when the time came, but at present, it seems that the left side he chose is no different from the front, and Yechen's only harvest is that there are four more crystal clear red fruits in his hand.
The legs are sending a dangerous signal to the night dust, and if they continue like this, it is believed that the two brothers are about to strike.
Yechen accepted his body's advice and prepared to rest on the spot, according to his rough estimates, nearly a day should have passed since he woke up. The huge celestial body on the head still did not change its position, as if it had been hanging there since ancient times, but the color was a little darker, and it seemed that there was a tendency to gradually dim, which made the night dust feel a lot more relieved, this is good, hanging there day and night to release light and heat, who can stand it.
The round celestial body in the sky completely turned dark red, and the sky was also dark, as if it was night, and the night dust guessed that there was also a black sky and white day, but the time of the day was much longer than that of the earth, about thirty hours.
Now that it was already dark, Yechen stopped moving forward, and now he could only see the distance within a few meters around him, so naturally he couldn't continue walking, if he was in a hurry to walk at night, not to mention anything else, this kind of red fruit Yechen didn't know how much he would miss.
This kind of red fruit is indeed a good thing, because since the last time Ye Chen ate the first fruit, until now, except for the body feeling tired because of the hurry, there is not the slightest sense of hunger in the stomach, as if the red fruit is the Taoist Bigu elixir, and you will not feel hungry after eating one grain for several days.
After learning that these red fruits were so hunger-resistant, Ye Chen naturally didn't dare to waste them easily, and by now, he already had dozens of fruits in his hands.
However, there are a lot of fruits, and it is a little inconvenient for Ye Chen to hold them again, he doesn't have anything in his hands that can hold the fruits, and he can't take them away with his hands alone.
In desperation, Yechen could only try to make a simple small basket from the rhizome of the plant that bore red fruits, for him to use to hold the red fruits.
The rhizomes of these plants are very flexible, and it takes a lot of effort for Night Dust to shape them into the shape they want, which is extremely time-consuming, but it is impossible to travel now, and Night Dust is not very sleepy, so it is a good choice to kill time in this way.
After a busy night, and a nap in the middle, Yechen finally knitted this small basket, although the appearance looks ugly to death, but it is better than solid, Yechen tried to put the red fruit in, and there was no danger of missing, so he was satisfied with this small basket and continued to walk.
Because he had stored a lot of red fruits and had a lot of understanding of the anti-hunger effects of red fruits, he had traveled a lot farther this time, and he walked nearly three times the distance before stopping, but unfortunately, he still didn't find anything.
Yechen was not discouraged, and after finding that it was likely to be futile to continue walking, he resolutely returned the same way, intending to go to the other side to have a look.
Yechen has already thought about it, this time he won't return when he goes to the right to explore, and if he goes all the way, he can find a way out, which is his own creation, and if he can't find it, he can't help it, anyway, he has done his best.
Everything is back to square one, except that this time Yechen has moved forward in a different direction, and there is just an extra basket for the red fruits in his hand.
Yechen has already prepared a road to go to the dark and not look back until he dies, but it seems that there is no end to the road, and the boring wilderness has finally changed, and a turning point has appeared.
It was still a red land, an endless wasteland, but the frequency of this strange red fruit was significantly higher, and it only took less than half a day to walk, and the night dust harvested the red fruit that needed to be harvested for two days before.
Not only did the red fruit appear more frequently, but even the color of the terracotta under his feet became more intense, really as if he had just been soaked in blood, which was extremely charming, and as the night dust advanced, the red color was gradually darkening, and even the air seemed to be wafting with a trace of sweet smell.
Although Yechen is worried about these changes, there is no other choice at present, since the changes have appeared, the only thing he can do now is to continue walking.
