alien island

"That's why you missed the appointed time and came back only now?" Xiang Chen asked after taking a bite of Ke Yiqiao's cooked meat.As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately took the meat leaf in his hand and changed his hand to take it alternately, because the meat in his hand was just taken out, and the temperature was not usually hot, so he had to keep changing hands In order to hold the leaf tray of meat firmly.

Ke Yiqiao wrapped the cooked meat in the hands of the four people with non-toxic leaves, seasoned and marinated the meat with the seasoning collected from Lao Hu, and then put the meat in the Among the leaves, several fresh leaves are wrapped layer by layer to form a shape, and then the tightly wrapped meat is buried in the soil layer under the fire that was lit at the beginning, and the residual heat of the original fire above is used to emit scalding heat The meat was buried in the soil with stones and soil, and after a period of time, the roasted meat wrapped in leaves was dug out.

As soon as the leaf is lifted by hand, the smell of cooked and seasoned meat is overflowing, steaming hot, the gravy is completely preserved, and the meat tastes very tender and delicious, and there is also a unique fragrance of the leaf , the taste is indeed quite delicious.

Zhang Yao was also a little surprised by this meal of meat. He really didn't notice it. Ke Yiqiao, who looks thin and small in appearance, is not too old.

Reaching out his hand, Ke Yiqiao scooped the vegetable and vegetable stew into the fruit shell with a spoon-shaped bone and handed it to him. Zhang Yao first handed the bowl to Pei Yan next to him, and then took the next bowl. Pick it up and take a few sips, the vegetable stew that warms the heart and has a sweet taste, and eat it with the delicious meat. It is really the most comfortable meal he has ever eaten on this island.

After taking a few sips of soup, Zhang Yao answered Xiang Chen's question and said, "Yes, just like what I just said, because of those orcs, we came from the other side, and the geographical location is not very familiar. If it weren't for Pei Yan's ability to recognize the way, it is estimated that the time for the two of us to come will be delayed. It took a lot of time just to find the way back here in the forest. However, the two of you She is also quite tenacious, not only did nothing happen these days, but she also took good care of herself."

According to Zhang Yao's estimate, he thought that these two stayed with him for a few days, and he always felt that he was not a very strong kid. He would have a miserable life these days, and might be attacked by wild beasts. He didn't expect the two of them , worked hard and gradually grew up, learned to live independently and survived by using their abilities.

"Fortunately, Brother Zhang Yao, you have found the fruit of healing, otherwise, we might never see you again..." After listening to Zhang Yao's complaint that he had lowered the blood index as much as possible, he talked about entering the orc tribe these days and escaping. After coming out, Ke Yiqiao felt that she admired these two elder brothers even more, but when she heard Zhang Yao's description of the big bug, she felt chills all over her body just thinking about it, and the two elder brothers not only There are so many vicious orcs who managed to escape from the place where they stayed, and they can still recover from serious injuries. How strong is that...

Now she can feel how serious and fatal their injuries were at that time just by looking at the dense scars on the exposed skin of Zhang Yao's arms and neck, and every visible bite mark The traces of scratches and scratches are very deep and ferocious in shape and size. Maybe there are more scary and large scars that are healing in other places covered by Zhang Yao's clothes.

"Ha, that's our luck. We met acquaintances and helped us gain a chance." Thinking of Luc who was made into a bugman, Zhang Yao thanked him from the bottom of his heart. Maps and fruits, they will not escape so smoothly now, nor can they eat and chat freely like now.

"Brother Zhang Yao, are the injuries on both of you really healed now?" Ke Yiqiao heard that the two were fighting with a group of orcs and falling from a very tall tree. Even if it hurts, it will take a hundred days of rest. Now, at most, a few days have passed, and she is afraid that the two of them will not be able to hold on if they continue on their way.

"Tsk, you don't believe me so much? As I said, it's almost healed now, but there are still some scabs on the body, which will disappear after a while. Pei Yan and I are both in good health. It’s almost recovered, now it’s more important to rush to find the boat for Floating Wood, anyway, we already have the map.”

Because of the transformation and mutation of the body by the red fruit, and the subsidy of the blue fruit, Zhang Yao feels that his injuries, whether it is internal or external scratches, have almost healed, whether it is walking or running , there is no problem at all, except that Pei Yan told him that he sometimes loses consciousness and becomes brutal and aggressive. He doesn't remember it, but after hearing Pei Yan's description, Zhang Yao thinks he still needs to pay more attention.

Pei Yan said that on the night when the purple moonlight shone on him, he lost consciousness and grew a long tail. It was useless to call him. Upon hearing this, Zhang Yao subconsciously turned his head to look behind him. Fortunately, I didn't see the tail that Pei Yan said again, knowing that the savage would not lie to play with him, Zhang Yao cautiously paid special attention to it when he went to bed the next night, afraid that he would suddenly become the same as the previous night. Know anyone's bestial tailed orc.

However, Zhang Yao did not see any changes in his body and consciousness until the second night passed until the sun rose. He thought it was because he was awake, and when he was resting and sleeping in the wild on the third day, Zhang Yao asked Pei Yan to watch over him. , I fell asleep solidly to see if there was any abnormality, and when I woke up in the morning again, seeing Pei Yan shaking his head, Zhang Yao understood that everything was as usual and there was nothing special about him.

From this, Zhang Yao deduced that the reason for his mutation that day might be that the effect of the body's transformation from the fruit had not been eliminated. On the last night, under the purple moonlight with strange magic power, his body produced a In the next few days, because the strange moonlight changing period every seven years ended, the color of the moon returned to normal, so he was no longer affected by the moonlight inexplicably.

As for the side that happened when he was fighting, Zhang Yao inferred that when he was too emotional, he would be affected by the animal nature of the fruit hidden in his body, and some animal instincts would be aroused, but he didn't know it. For the sake of safety, Zhang Yao made an agreement with Pei Yan to keep an eye on him as much as possible. If there is anything wrong, wake him up or tie him up, and wait until he calms down. This is the only thing Zhang Yao can think of to do now. way out.

Who said that after eating the "Satan Fruit", if there are benefits, there must be opposite side effects. Now even if Zhang Yao wants to relieve the mutation in his body, there is no way. The body has been affected by the fruit and the moonlight Mutation, I can only think of other ways to solve it myself. If there is an antidote, look at the orcs now and you will understand that there is no antidote at all. If there is, there will not be so many now. Orcs gone.

Eating the fruit and changing the body can return to its original state. If human beings can transform back into orcs after eating the fruit, how can there be so many orcs who do not change themselves back?Therefore, it can be deduced that there is no antidote that can remove the effect of changing the human body. Now Zhang Yao can only accept his fate and accept the facts, hoping that he can control his emotions. He doesn't want to be as beastly as Pei Yan said. The stupid look of almost wanting to eat all the disgusting orc meat when he got angry appeared again.

As for the injuries on Pei Yan, Zhang Yao must have recovered completely this time. Originally, Pei Yan's recovery effect on those healing fruits was extraordinary. After escaping from the orc tribe, Zhang Yao fed several pellets in a row, and his body recovered and absorbed a lot more quickly, without any sequelae left by him at all.

Just seeing Pei Yan pestering him energetically every night, Zhang Yao gritted his teeth and was completely sure that this guy Pei Yan really recovered this time.Although every time he resisted pushing and shoving and refused to let Pei Yan forcefully cuddle together to sleep in the middle of the night, Pei Yan would suddenly show a painful expression, covering the place he pushed, frowning and pursing his lips without speaking, making Zhang Yao paused for a moment, not daring to continue to exert force, so in the end, he was reduced to the tragic end of being slept by the tall Pei Yan with long hands and feet, whose whole body was tightly entangled and stuck together...

The only good thing about Zhang Yao now is that Pei Yan, who had been wanting to have fun with him a few days ago, was much more at ease because of his subsequent discussions and a fierce warning to fight. Night entanglement endless.

However, other than that, Pei Yan's bad habit of pestering him to sleep was unshakable.Zhang Yao said that he couldn't refuse even if he broke his lips. In fact, he was not very resistant to cuddling and sleeping together. After all, the temperature at night was too cold, and the warmth of the two hugging together really made people feel much more comfortable.

But... that hard object that has been very 'spiritual' on the back of his buttocks made Zhang Yao's nerves tense, no matter what he couldn't completely ignore its existence, how could it make him sleep Will you sleep well? !After several nights of fear and being forced to cuddle together and sleep stiffly, Zhang Yao found that Pei Yan was just pushing against him and didn't make unnecessary foul moves, so he fell asleep and got used to it. To deal with beasts and insects, he didn't have so much energy to repeat this ambiguous question with Pei Yan at night. As long as the enemy doesn't attack me, Zhang Yao won't waste his energy arguing with Pei Yan. Anyway, whatever he says, Pei Yan will also A stubborn guy who refuses to listen.

"Oh, now that your bodies have recovered, when are we going to set off?" He reached out and took what Zhang Yao took out, saying that it was a leaf map marking the location of the boat made of floating wood. On the map, there are densely packed terrain marks of various mountains. I feel a little dizzy, and I can't help but ask.

"The location we are going to now is here." Pointing to a location on the map, Zhang Yao said: "I discussed it with Pei Yan. Originally, if we walked from here to this way, we could reach our destination faster ...However, in this area, it is very likely that the orcs are active." In a place on the picture, circled a circle with his finger, Zhang Yao indicated.

"Will it be dangerous to go from here?" Looking at the area circled by Zhang Yao, Xiang Chen continued to ask.

Nodding his head, Zhang Yao continued, "So, we decided to take a long detour and go this way."

He raised his finger and pointed to another position of the leaf diagram: "This side is close to the volcano. It seems that there is a rift zone marked on the map. The purple smoke from the volcano has been lingering around there, because the Orcs don't like the smell of fog very much. If we go that way, the chance of encountering orcs will be relatively small. Now that the festival of Chika orcs is over, they know that new humans have appeared on the island, and they may come out Look around, for the sake of safety, if we can't run into them, don't run into them. If we walk along the rift valley with the most concentrated fog, we can get close to our destination, but it takes time. It takes a little longer than walking in a straight line."

"...Well, I have no objection." Compared with those hideous and terrifying orcs, Xiang Chen is still willing to choose the safe path in his heart. Anyway, two people who are stronger than ordinary people have returned and got together. For the four of them, it felt like he and Ke Yiqiao were left together, and their sense of security improved a lot.

"Well, that's good. Brother Zhang Yao, brother Pei Yan, I'll listen to you." Ke Yiqiao didn't have any opinions on which way to go.

"Okay, now that it's decided, let's go now." Throwing the leftover leaves on the ground, Zhang Yao patted the remaining crumbs on his hands and said.

"Now?" Xiang Chen, who was continuing to send food into his mouth, stopped his chewing movements.

"Then how long do you want to stay? You are very lucky that you have not been noticed by the orcs. The orcs are now at the end of the festival. It is estimated that many people will come out to patrol and find people. If we stay here again If you go down, you will definitely be noticed. Before it is too late, you should leave here quickly." Zhang Yao stood up from the ground, looked around, and asked: "Do you have anything else to pack? ? We'll leave after packing up."

"Wait... Isn't this too fast?" Xiang Chen hurriedly stopped, a little dissatisfied.

"Tsk, then you can choose to stay or not." Zhang Yao raised his eyebrows and said with a wild smile.

"..."

"Oh, then I'll go clean up." Hearing that she was about to leave now, Ke Yiqiao, who was eating meat, quickly put all the leftovers into her mouth, and immediately turned around in a hurry to clean her up something.

And Xiang Chen, who was in a bad mood, stared at Zhang Yao before slowly turning back to pack his belongings.

After packing all the necessary things on their backs and taking their weapons in their hands, the four of them left the cave and rushed towards the route indicated by the map, hoping that nothing would be encountered along the way. Terrible accidents, though, and they knew it was just a hope, because accidents always come in the most unexpected ways.
