Chapter 18 Changes
It was now evening, and the giant eel had been cut into eight pieces and placed near the mouth of the cave.
The campfire had now been lit under the tree, and Kurokawa sat beside him, disemboweling the fish in his hand, washing it with water, and then planting it with a branch and placing it near the fire, before which there were already many pieces of eel meat, as well as the unknown creature that looked like a sea urchin but had small, soft tentacles, and was skewered and grilled on the fire.
Speaking of the creature of tentacle sea urchin, I have to mention that it did not appear in the previous life, it should be a special life unique to this world, it was still alive when it was brought up, and the small dark brown tentacles kept bending and bouncing, unexpectedly cute. I tried to eat it raw before, and it tasted quite good, but the toxin was a little heavy, but this blood-clotting poison had no effect on Kurokawa. In terms of texture, unlike octopus, it is more similar to raw beef, but it is more elastic and smoother to the touch
It's a completely unfamiliar creature, but as long as it tastes good, it doesn't matter what it is, it can be eaten!
With that thought in his mind, he felt that everything was wonderful.
A source of water was found, a campfire was lit, and there was an unimaginably abundant source of food...... For a wanderer who has nothing, this is already considered a paradise.
Indeed, isn't my current self a homeless wanderer?
Thinking of the huge tombstone, Kurokawa couldn't help but chuckle.
The grave is not home.
After inserting the last fish, Kurokawa stood up and prepared to go to the cave entrance to wash his face. Due to the existence of aura in this world, whether it is a beast or a demon beast, the meat of all creatures is relatively difficult to cook, so you don't have to worry about burning, and the time to wash your face may not even be cooked on one side, and you will have to wait a while before you need to turn it over.
Looking around, a large area of trees more than ten meters high grows on the white rocky ground, and vines surround it and hang down.
The roots of these trees dig through the rocks with great tenacity, deep into the ground, draw water from the dark river, and then slowly grow and grow little by little.
I don't know how long it took to get to where it is now.
Walking to the entrance of the cave, he crouched down and lowered his head, reached out to receive water, and washed away the blood and fish scales from his hands.
The entrance of the cave is about half a meter away from the surface of the river, a little more than a foot away, and if you don't get closer, you can't touch the surface of the river.
"I have to say that the complete disappearance of calluses and scars on my hands is really unpleasant......"
Complaining softly, Kurokawa knew that there was no truth to this statement - who still wants calluses when the skin has become tougher, and who needs scars to remind them of previous mistakes when they are already infallible?
However, he doesn't like scars, but he just doesn't quite adapt to these white and tender over-the-top hands, which is no way, counting the previous life, this man who has been rough for decades never thought that his hands would be so beautiful one day, it is simply frightening to see, making people feel that they are no longer themselves, but another stranger.
Although after the crossing, he is indeed a stranger to his previous self.
Shut up, stop thinking, and neatly wash away the dirt and dust on his face, Kurokawa, who felt much refreshed, was about to get up and leave, but the corner of his eye seemed to see something unusual.
“...... What's that?"
Somewhat unsure, he crouched down again and looked at the water carefully.
"It's too dark......"
He muttered in a low voice, because it was already evening, and because of the angle, the little light of the setting sun could not shine through, only a little dim light reflected in.
Gathering a ball of spiritual light to illuminate the surroundings, Kurokawa finally saw exactly what was reflected on the water.
“......”
Silently touching his cheeks, and the reflection in the water touching his cheeks, he was sure that everything was not an illusion, it was a real image.
Swallowing his saliva, Kurokawa blinked, and the reflection in the water blinked.
“......”
Standing up suddenly, he took a deep breath, then gritted his teeth, stared at the water, and finally couldn't help it, and complained loudly
"Who the hell is this?"
"Who the hell is that baby face in this water!?
"Is it me? really me? What the hell is going on?!"
......
After a while, after calming down, Kurokawa, who returned to the fire, began to calmly reminisce and study.
It seems that it should be the time when the core strengthens the body.,Restore the body to what it should be at this age.,Because I haven't had a chance to look at my face before.,So I didn't find out until now.。
Ruggling with the twigs to heat all parts of the skewer evenly, he continued to think.
It stands to reason that he was originally a fifteen-year-old teenager, but his psychological age was too big, so he didn't feel it, and that mature uncle's face didn't know what was going on, and he didn't have this tendency when he was a child.
This means that if everything is normal, then he shouldn't be like that.
"Because of my mental age, I didn't feel anything strange about my uncle's face before, so I naturally accepted it...... Speaking of which, the cultivator named Su Yu last time, the one who gave me the cultivation method, seems to have mistaken my age......"
As soon as he thought of this, Kurokawa couldn't help but feel a big head.
Becoming younger is honestly not a bad thing, as long as people who are not psychologically distorted basically like to look younger, Kurokawa is no exception, although for his psychology, this appearance is really too young, and it can even be said that this is not a young person, but it is called pretending to be young, but this is still not a bad thing.
Appearance is for others to see, some like uncles, and some like Zhengtai, anyway, now, almost all the people who saw him before are dead, and it's not bad to change your face and start over completely.
But Kurokawa's main concern was that those cultivators who had seen him must be more familiar with his own appearance, which was considered an old face in every sense. Although this new face can still vaguely see a little shadow of the original, the gap is still too big, and it is not a painting style at all.
"Originally, the core matter was enough to upset me, and now there is another appearance problem, how do I explain this?"
It's a pity that there is no smoke in his hand, and he has not found any tobacco-related plants in his life, otherwise Kurokawa would have to lean on the trunk of the tree and watch the moon smoke one, he looked at the fire gloomily, and couldn't help but sigh.
"I never thought that there would be so much trouble when I became younger, I knew that this was how good it would be to continue to use that old face, and I would be upset now. ”
"Forget the core of the chest, talk nonsense about what adventures, and have an Ultraman timer...... I mean, any gem-shaped innate magic weapon, for safety, just put it on the chest, although the color is so gorgeous and not scientific, but generally speaking, no one will investigate it -- but suddenly become so younger, it is a person who knows that there is an adventure, there is a big problem, what should I say when the time comes? What kind of extraordinarily powerful natural treasure, not only the whole person has become younger, but also the physical fitness has been greatly strengthened...... Wait!"
Kurokawa raised his head, a light flashed in his eyes, "Adventure is a good excuse, you can put anything in it, there is no sense of disobedience in that paragraph just now!"
"After all, it's not wrong to have an adventure, even if you have an adventure, what does it matter? I have a token, and I still have a trace of my appearance, and I won't be mistaken for another person, so I simply said that I picked up something in the deep mountains that exudes colorful light, and the fragrance is fragrant, anyway, it's all kinds of cool descriptions of fruit spirit grass and the like, which repairs the dark wounds in my body and makes me younger-this reason is impeccable, it's perfect!"
"Could it be that they will not accept me because of the adventure? My qualifications look at their performance is very good, there is no reason not to do it after getting better, right? I didn't lie, isn't the core just the adventure, the demon crystal can be regarded as being eaten......"
Finding that this problem could be solved with just casual nonsense, Kurokawa nodded with satisfaction and simply gave up and continued to think.
"So with this explanation, I'll see if there's any salt...... Another thing, these plants can also be used. ”
Humming a little tune lightly, he had put the matter behind him and didn't pay attention.
Only a faint trace of regret flashed in the depths of my mind.
"It's a complete goodbye to the past. ”
"Don't forget grudges. ”
"But the weak hunter Kurokawa is dead, and from then on, there is only the cultivator Kurokawa. ================= the new book issue, be sure not to forget to collect and recommend, thank you readers for your support
