When he opened his eyes, a ray of light shone through the dilapidated skylight, which was pale and dim.
This is the Black Abyss. There is no sun or moon here. It is always alternating between weak light and darkness. This is the worst place to live on this planet.
"Well..." Chen Yao turned over, and the old bed underneath him creaked.
The small shack was shabby, with only a small bed and pots and pans.
The corner of the shed was filled with miscellaneous items, including some test tubes, tweezers, glass bottles, a small pile of scrap metal, and tools, all of which were Chen Yao's treasures.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk."
"Brother Yao, open the door quickly, it's already eight o'clock in the morning!
A pleasant shout came from outside the door, but obviously, Chen Yao had long been immune to it.
"Hey, ah... don't grab my roasted lizard tail! Suck it..."
Chen Yao's saliva had wet most of the pillow.
"I'm so angry! Brother Yao is sleeping in again! Brother Xiaohu! If he doesn't get up, you'll open the door!"
The girl's cheeks puffed slightly.
Jiang Hu scratched his head, "No, if I damage Brother Chenyao's shack, I will definitely be scolded!"
"I don't care! If you don't do it, I will file a complaint with your grandfather and say that you bullied me! Grandpa Qingshan loves me the most."
The girl put her hands on her hips and looked confident.
"Alright alright."
Jiang Hu said helplessly. If the girl really complained to her grandfather, he would not punish her. Jiang Hu's grandfather, the previous village chief, was famous for his kindness and wisdom in Heiyuan Village, but if his father Jiang Qingyan found out...
Jiang Hu shrank his neck.
Gritting his teeth, he took a breath and said, "If you crash, just crash. At most, you will get scolded by the big brother!!"
"Haha...what happened? It's so noisy. Are you even allowed to sleep?"
As soon as Chen Yao opened the door, a bull, no, a hill rushed towards him!
"???"
"Xiaohu, you... bang!!!"
The moment the door opened, Xiaohu had already withdrawn his strength, but it was too late. Chen Yao was directly pushed back two to three meters. This was not a light blow.
Xiaohu is 1.8 meters tall and has a body like a bear. As for Chen Yao, he is 175cm tall and as skinny as a stick, but he is quite handsome.
The moment he was knocked away, Chen Yao thought of his father and mother he had never met before, as well as his precious bottles...
"Huh? Hey!"
A flash of light flashed in his eyes, and Chen Yao let out a strange cry. He didn't know where the strength came from, and he twisted his body in the air. When he landed, he fell to the ground on all fours, and the dog gnawed on the mud.
The movement was not very glorious, but it miraculously stabilized his body. If he had moved a few centimeters forward, his most precious alchemy equipment would probably be shattered all over the floor.
"Huh..." Chen Yao let out a long breath. Although it was very disgraceful, at least the things were saved.
"Hmph! If there is any loss to these things, I will burn down your grandfather's library!"
Chen Yao's face and mouth were still covered with mud, which seemed quite funny in conjunction with these harsh words.
Of course, even if he had a hundred courages, he would not dare to burn down the library, which was the lifeblood of Grandpa Xiaohu Jiang Qingshan.
"Grandpa asked me to tell you, don't forget today's binding ceremony! Oh! Father said he wanted to see me for something, so I went there first."
The little tiger smiled and ran away as if running away.
"Hey, Xiaohu is really arrogant in everything he does!" Chen Yao curled his lips.
"Yes... I asked Xiaohu to do it. Who told you not to open the door!"
With Jiang Hu gone, the girl seemed to have lost some confidence facing Chen Yao.
"Okay, okay, Lili didn't do anything wrong. It was me who almost delayed something big today."
Chen Yao smiled and rubbed the girl's head.
"Eh heh heh~ Brother Yao seems to be in a good mood today! But... poof! You look so funny now, right! The way Brother Yao was lying on the ground just now looked so familiar, like... a rock-skinned pig! "
"Yes, it's a rock-skinned pig that eats!" The girl covered her mouth and smiled.
"Okay, okay, you just said yes. Today is our coming-of-age ceremony and binding ceremony. I have been looking forward to it for a long time. Of course I am in a good mood!"
Chen Yao patted the dust on his body, turned around and just finished speaking, his eyes were fixed on the girl's face and couldn't move away. At this moment, he was fascinated.
Although the girl only wore patched rags, it could not hide her elegance. With her smart personality, the legendary elves were probably nothing more than that.
Chen Yao suddenly screamed strangely! He rushed back to the shack, washed his face quickly, and smoothed his hair.
"Ahem! Lili, you have forgotten how I looked just now, right?"
Chen Yao touched his nose, now so embarrassed that he wanted to jump into the dark abyss.
"Yeah, yeah, brother Yao is the most handsome man in the village!"
Qiu Yueli nodded like a chicken pecking rice, clasping her hands, her beautiful eyes full of sincerity.
"Of course! Then let's go to the village chief!"
This girl is really weird, who can stand up to her! Chen Yao wailed in his heart.
"Don't worry, don't worry! Grandpa Qingshan said that after this ceremony, you, me, Xiaohu, sister, we have to survive on our own in the Black Abyss for seven days!"
"You are not allowed to return midway, and you are not allowed to rely on others, so you must make all preparations before participating in the ceremony!"
The girl grabbed Chen Yao who was about to leave, put her white finger on her lips and said.
"Well... Qi Tiantian, we have grown up in the village and have never left the village more than one kilometer away. I really want to go out and have a look."
Chen Yao touched his chin.
"I'll pack my things first."
Chen Yao first went to the corner of the shed, shook his right hand several times, and put the alchemy equipment and some simple tools into the ring in his right hand.
At this moment, Chen Yao's eyes were fixed on the binding ring on his right hand. Rather than saying that it was storing items, it was more like being involved in it. The moment he touched the items and conveyed the idea of taking them in, a black tentacle instantly wrapped the things, and then Take back.
He had watched this scene over and over again for more than ten years, and was used to it, but he still couldn't understand it.
In addition to his own alchemy equipment, Chen Yao also bought some pots and pans. After all, he had to eat outside.
Standing still, he first thought about whether there was anything left behind. Chen Yao clicked on the binding ring in his right hand, and a white cube appeared. This is the inner space of the binding ring. Chen Yao's binding ring has about three cubic spaces. I heard that everyone's The ring-binding spaces are not all the same size, and I don’t know why.
He glanced back and forth a few times, and after a few moments, with two clicks, he took out a small pile of relatively straight snakewood branches cut into several sections from the binding ring, and then took out a clay pot and placed it on the in front of the door.
"Brother Yao, what are you doing with these snake trees and clay pots?"
Qiu Yueli was very confused and said that things like snakewood can be seen everywhere under the black abyss. Almost every place in the black abyss is covered with twisting black snakewood vines.
The sap of snakewood is poisonous, but the toxin becomes very weak after drying. Dried snakewood is the main firewood used by the villagers of Black Abyss, and can also be a basic material for construction, carpentry, etc.
"Secret! I won't tell you, hehe, you will know when the time comes!"
"Huh! Brother Yao is so stingy! Forget it if you don't tell me!" Qiu Yueli said angrily.
"Okay! I've packed it up! I'm going on a long trip, I'm really looking forward to it!"
Chen Yao rubbed his hands excitedly.
"Eh? I heard from my mother that it is very dangerous outside. Ten kilometers ahead of the village is a huge garbage dump, which is hundreds of kilometers away! The adults are hunting and scavenging there. Everyone Someone in Xingyue is injured!"
Yue Li's eyes showed a little nervousness.
"It doesn't matter! I will protect you, Xiaohu, and your sister! Cough cough cough!"
Chen Yao patted his chest and almost choked.
"Well! Brother Yao is so weak, it's me who should protect Brother Yao! Hehe!"
Qiu Yueli worked hard to stand on tiptoes, imitating Chen Yao's habit, and touched Chen Yao's head.
"Hmph! Forget it if you don't believe me, just wait, I will definitely be able to awaken super powerful wild skills through the Binding Ceremony!"
Chen Yao didn't refute, but his eyes gradually became firmer.
"You must become stronger..."
"ah?"
"Nothing, let's go, the village chief can't wait any longer."
"Uh-huh!"
