In this way, the two of them worked tirelessly for a very long time. As time passed, the sun gradually lost its dazzling light at noon and slowly tilted towards the west.

Finally, the last body was gently placed into the large pit that had been dug temporarily. At this point, all the bodies had been properly placed.

However, just as the burial work was about to be completed, Wang Zhan suddenly stopped what he was doing. He swept his sharp eyes over the corpses, and then began to strip off their clothes without hesitation.

His movements were extremely swift, his hands flying up and down, and pieces of clothing fell to the ground like fallen leaves.

The reason for doing this is naturally not for any immoral purpose.

You know, the road ahead is long and full of unknowns, and no one knows what situation they will encounter next.

If they can't find a place to rest or stay on the way, these clothes may come in handy and serve as quilts to help them resist the biting cold at night.

When Wang Zhan completed this series of actions, he and Qingluo were already covered in dust and dirt.

Their originally clean and tidy clothes were now covered in dirt and blood, and even their hair was disheveled, making them look like two refugees who had just escaped from the battlefield.

The two of them looked at each other first, and seeing each other's extremely embarrassed appearance, they were stunned for a moment.

Then, as if they suddenly realized something, they both burst into hearty laughter at the same time.

The laughter resounded throughout the entire empty wilderness, as if it turned into an invisible force, dispelling the oppressive atmosphere that had previously shrouded the place.

At this moment, although their situation is still difficult, they feel more warmth and courage in their hearts because they have each other's company.

As the laughter gradually died down, the two men quickly composed themselves, returned to the carriage, and continued on their journey forward.

In addition to the original luggage, there were also many weapons and clothes collected from corpses on the carriage, and of course, some food that had been carefully prepared when they were with the elves.

Not long after, the carriage traveled a distance at a leisurely pace.

On the way, it first passed through a dense and deep forest, and then bypassed several towering and endless mountains.

However, what was different from usual was that, apart from occasionally encountering a few ferocious monsters, they had not encountered any other human figures along the way. Even the soldiers responsible for patrolling and guarding were nowhere to be seen.

As time passed, the sky gradually darkened, as if a huge black curtain slowly covered the entire earth.

Just then, the carriage finally arrived at a vast meadow.

At this moment, what surprised Wang Zhan and Qing Luo was that the food they had carefully prepared was almost consumed in just one day!

You know, this amount of food was originally enough to sustain them for three full days! Unfortunately, who could have imagined Wang Zhan's appetite was so voracious? In just one day, all the food was gone.

As it was getting darker, there seemed to be only one choice before them - to rest on the grass for a night.

After all, after a whole day of running around and working hard, not only were the people exhausted, but even the horses pulling the cart were panting and it was difficult for them to move forward.

Fortunately, not far from this grassland, there is a small pond, which can solve the drinking water problem for people and horses.

After Wang Zhan parked the carriage securely, he turned around and said to Qingluo with a helpless look on his face, "Alas, it seems we have no other choice tonight. We can only rest here for the time being. Look around, there's no sign of any houses."

After hearing these words, a hint of helplessness appeared on Qingluo's beautiful face.

Although she felt quite powerless about the current situation, she knew that things had come to this point and this was an unchangeable fact. So she could only nod slightly and replied softly, "Yes, I understand. In that case, why don't we search carefully around here? Perhaps we can find some other useful items. For example, look for branches or something to start a fire. After all, the night is getting colder, and a bonfire can at least keep out the chill."

After saying that, the two looked at each other, and then they acted separately in tacit understanding, each heading in different directions, to conduct in-depth exploration and exploration of this unfamiliar grassland and its surrounding areas.

At this moment, Wang Zhan took the initiative to take on the task of finding firewood.

He was seen walking with vigorous and powerful steps, moving through the grass, scanning the surroundings with sharp eyes, not missing any corner where firewood might be hidden.

On the other side, Qingluo was holding a sharp weapon and patrolling carefully nearby, always alert to possible dangers.

At the same time, her beautiful eyes were always keeping an eye on the carriage parked not far away, in case of any unexpected situation.

Not long after, Wang Zhan returned happily with a large pile of dry firewood.

Then, he took a deep breath, mobilized the true energy in his body, condensed it into a small and exquisite gas bullet, and then flicked his finger. The gas bullet instantly hit the firewood pile. With a "whoosh" sound, a blazing flame soared into the sky, dancing happily, like an elf dancing in the dark.

In an instant, the bright firelight broke the silence of the night, bringing a hint of light and warmth to the originally dark grassland.

Qingluo stared at the fire quietly, her eyes unconsciously falling on the little food left beside her.

Looking at the few dry rations, she couldn't help but frown and sighed softly, "Alas... I have to think carefully about how to find food tomorrow."

Hearing this, Wang Zhan, who was standing nearby, patted his broad chest and said confidently, "Don't worry, Miss Qingluo! As long as I'm here, I will definitely not let you starve."

This night is as black as ink and so thick that it seems impossible to dissolve.

It was so quiet all around that even the wind seemed to have frozen in the air, leaving only a creepy silence.

Occasionally, a few low and hoarse roars of wild beasts could be heard from the depths of the distant mountains and forests. The sound seemed particularly abrupt and terrifying in the silent night.

Wang Zhan and Qing Luo stood back to back, their bodies tense and their eyes vigilantly scanning the endless darkness around them.

Every slightest sound would make their hearts tighten and their nerves become highly tense.

Just then, a slight rustling sound came from the grass not far away.

Wang Zhan immediately clenched the crude weapons that he had collected with great difficulty. Qing Luo also took a deep breath, adjusted her posture, and prepared to face any possible danger with full concentration.

However, when the black shadow jumped out of the grass, they found that it was a frightened hare.

A hint of surprise flashed in Wang Zhan's eyes, and he threw the sharp knife in his hand without hesitation.

There was a flash of cold light, and the hare died instantly before it even had time to make a sound.

Wang Zhan walked quickly forward, picked up the hare, a smug smile appeared on his face, and turned to Qingluo and said, "Haha, look, here we have meat to eat!" As he said that, he lifted the hare and shook it in front of his eyes. Qingluo also laughed, and the tension in her heart was slightly relieved.

The two then found a relatively flat place, built a simple rack with branches, and then put the hare on it and started roasting it.
