Chapter 1509 Roast Rabbit
Chen Xuan endured the cold, found dead grass and branches, and built a fire. He took off his clothes and leaned as close to the fire as possible. The fire grew stronger and stronger, and finally gave him a burst of warmth.
Next is drying the clothes. By the time all this was completed, half a day had passed. There are indeed too many clothes to wear in winter, and some of them are thick and there is no way to dry them completely.
Chen Xuan now has a general understanding of the surrounding environment. This is a corner of a primeval forest. On the other side of the river is a vast forest, where wolves travel. However, the trees where he was now were obviously much sparser. Chen Xuan was basically certain that this was just the edge of the forest.
But I just don’t know which part of the continent this place belongs to. Is it still in the middle of the continent? Or has it left the central part and reached the south? Only four days have passed, and this group of wolves should not be able to reach other parts of the mainland.
This place has water and forests, and is close to the forest, so there are many small animals living there. Some roe deer and hares were watching from a distance while Chen Xuan was lighting the fire. With such rich resources, that person should pay attention to this place frequently, but after half a day, Chen Xuan did not find a trace of human breath.
Solve the food problem first, and then look for a populated place. Once there, you can know your exact location.
An hour later, Chen Xuan finally caught a little rabbit. He was lucky enough to catch it by chance. The other rabbits hid without a trace when they saw Chen Xuan far away. Only this one seemed not to be very afraid of people because it was just born. In this way, the man and the rabbit played hide and seek for a long time.
Without any tools, Chen Xuan couldn't laugh or cry while holding the rabbit. It seemed that his ability to survive in the wild was still in its infancy.
Did you tear this rabbit alive? It feels too cruel to think about it. However, he has experience killing pigs and cows, and he would choose to do so if he had to. But it was not the last resort. Before Chen Xuan tore the rabbit apart, he first knocked the poor little guy unconscious with a stone.
Resisting hunger, he placed the cleaned rabbit on the fire. There was no salt or any other condiments. Chen Xuan's escape was too hasty this time, and more importantly, his preparations when he went out were too insufficient.
When the smell of meat reached Chen Xuan's nose, he was so hungry that he had no strength left. He grabbed the rabbit and wolfed it down. After eating the whole rabbit, he didn't even feel what the rabbit tasted like.
The food is far from enough, but Chen Xuan has no intention of looking for food again here. It was getting late now, and he had to find humans before sunset, otherwise he would have to spend the night alone in the wilderness. If so, you may encounter great danger. Who knows if there are other large beasts in this place?
Chen Xuan chose to follow the river because he felt that the chances of human beings existing along the river were much greater than in the wilderness.
After breaking through the thorns along the way, Chen Xuan finally heard a few dogs barking at dusk. He looked up and saw several houses appearing in the distance. Light smoke was rising from the chimneys of those houses, and it seemed that dinner was being prepared.
Chen Xuan was overjoyed that he finally found a human being, and his adventure was basically over.
"Ah! Why did someone's child come to us?" When Chen Xuan shouted at the aunt who was lighting the fire, the aunt was shocked and asked quickly.
"I... was sent by the sect to practice, but I got lost with my companions and lost my way." Chen Xuan lied kindly.
"Oh, it turns out he is a cultivator, no wonder." The aunt seemed to suddenly realize, "You haven't eaten yet, I happened to cook here, let's eat together!"
Chen Xuan looked at the sincerity on the aunt's face, so he nodded gently and said: "Auntie, I still have some spiritual crystals in my hand, I will use it to exchange for food."
The aunt's face turned red and she whispered: "No need...a little food, no need..."
"It doesn't matter. My treatment in the sect is relatively good. A little spiritual crystal is nothing." Chen Xuan was determined not to be freeloaders, so he insisted.
The aunt hesitated for a moment, but immediately regained her composure. She turned around and took a bowl of porridge from the pot, handed it to Chen Xuan, and said, "No need really, this small bowl of porridge is nothing."
But Chen Xuan noticed a trace of reluctance in the aunt's eyes. It seemed that this family was very poor. They only prepared porridge for dinner, and it was so late that the rest of the family didn't seem to have come back yet.
After finishing the porridge in three gulps, Chen Xuan asked: "Auntie, where are the other people in your family?"
"They went hunting and haven't come back yet." The aunt said, "Are you full? I'll get you another bowl."
Chen Xuan smiled and said: "You are still a little hungry, but I see that you haven't prepared much food. How about this, you take out the food stored at home and make more food, and I will trade these spiritual crystals with you." After speaking, Chen Xuan took out eight wood spirit crystals from his clothes and placed them on the table.
The aunt's eyes were shining. She rarely saw spiritual crystals. The ones she used most were low-grade crystals. Only after her man killed a large beast and betrayed her, did she occasionally see one or two spiritual crystals. , now seeing this kid take out eight spiritual crystals at once, he couldn't help but be surprised.
"How did this happen?" She then asked again.
"I said it doesn't matter. When I return to the sect, there will be a lot of spiritual crystals distributed again."
"Save food, let me think about it, yes, there is also a pig's trotter." She turned around and went into the inner room, and soon took out a pig's trotter, "This is what is left over from the New Year, I planned to keep it until... …”
She looked at the spiritual crystal on the table again and stopped talking.
After another busy period, Chen Xuan sat at the stove to add firewood to his aunt. Fortunately, he was still a little chilly after being soaked in cold water in the morning.
When the pig's trotters were almost cooked, the outside suddenly became lively. Chen Xuan quickly ran out to take a look. It turned out that the hunting team was back. There were seven or eight people, some were holding pheasants, others were carrying rabbits, but the four big men were carrying a sika deer.
Seeing Chen Xuan running out of the house, one of the men asked: "Kid, are you..."
"This is a practitioner from a large sect. He got lost and asked for some water..." The aunt who followed out answered the big man's question.
"Oh! I see." The big man didn't ask any more questions. He continued to carry the sika deer towards a taller house. It seemed that the prey they collectively hunted were generally stored there temporarily.
After a while, the big man entered the house with a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old, and then shouted: "I'm starving to death. Come on, prepare some good food."
Immediately, he saw the wood spirit crystal on the table, so his eyes widened and he asked: "Where did this spirit crystal come from?"
"Uncle, I gave this to your aunt to repay your kindness." Chen Xuan said with a smile.
"What, so many spiritual crystals, um, or wood spiritual crystals, we can't make so much money in a year. You just gave them to us?" the big man asked excitedly.
"It's nothing." Chen Xuan saw the big man's excited look and found that he had lost weight, but there was no problem. The big man, the young man, the aunt in front of him, and even the entire village were just ordinary people. As long as Chen Xuan should be careful and there should be no accidents.
The big man was obviously much more polite to Chen Xuan. When the dinner was served on the table, the big man took out his treasured wine. He persuaded Chen Xuan to drink some, but Chen Xuan refused, so the big man started pouring his own wine.
The young man had been very quiet since he came back. Chen Xuanzhen didn't know how he got involved in the daytime hunt. Looking at him like this, he seemed more suitable to be a quiet scholar, but scholars were indeed the most useless group of people in the Five Elements Continent.
After a few glasses of water and wine, coupled with the stimulation of the Wood Spirit Crystal that he had collected just now, the big man's chat box opened up. He talked about everything. From his words, Chen Xuan finally knew where he was now.
It turns out that this place still belongs to the central area, but after crossing the river to the mountains on the opposite side, we have reached the southern part of the continent. Moreover, this place is not far from the eastern part of the continent. It takes more than ten days to reach the east at an ordinary person's speed. And if you are a cultivator, it may take less than five days to arrive.
Originally, Chen Xuan's squadron was marching along the oval, and the direction of advance was already somewhat from south to north. But now Chen Xuan was carried to the southeast by the wolves, almost going the opposite way from the previous path. It seems that he is getting further and further away from the Gate of God’s Heart.
It can also be seen from the traveling route of the wolves that their final destination is the eastern part of the continent. Chen Xuan thought that this was normal. The Orcs' current stronghold was in the eastern part of the continent, and transporting resources there was the only option.
"Chen Xuan, do you think your Divine Heart Gate is very big? Is it bigger or smaller than our Taiyin Gate?" At this time, the young man spoke. Chen Xuan now knows that his name is Yang Yunshan. He has been weak since he was a child, so he stayed with his parents.
"Shenxin Sect? I can't tell clearly. This sect occupies a large area, but there are only a small number of disciples in the sect." He did not give the specific number. After all, the sect's situation he Also maintain appropriate confidentiality.
"The Taiyin Sect here is also very large and has many disciples. It is said that there are tens of thousands of them."
"This is really a big sect." Chen Xuan said calmly.
"Originally, I could enter the Taiyin Sect based on my eight-layer water attribute and five elements attributes, but I exceeded the age standard. Their entry-level disciples cannot be over fifteen years old. But I had a serious illness before I was ten years old. I only came out of danger when I was sixteen, so I missed the opportunity to get started!"
