Chapter 220 The other party will not let him go no matter what
The ruins of Dagunbi were much larger than Shevi had imagined. Even if they only explored the places that Mr. Iriel and his team had not been to, it would take more than two days, so they needed to rest in the ruins at night.
Before entering the ruins, Xie Wei counted the camping supplies he had drawn from the system and found that they were just enough for four people, so he told Sal in advance that he didn't need to bring anything for accommodation.
After hearing his words, Sal didn't ask any more questions. He didn't say anything for a long time after he agreed. Then before leaving, he put a thick animal skin blanket into his bag.
Seven hours after entering the ruins, Thrall and Yrel began to choose a place to stay for the night. Shevi originally thought that they would choose from various rooms in the ruins, but what he didn't expect was that the place they finally chose was under a big tree beside a stream.
There are natural landscapes in the ruins, but not everyone can encounter them. Sometimes, by pushing open a door or walking out of a corridor, you can see valley streams and meadows. But more often, even if you walk around the ruins for more than ten times, you may not necessarily see a natural landscape.
Iriel told Xie Wei that the people who built the ruins designed a very complex space magic circle in the ruins. The entire ruins were equivalent to the designer's space ring. What was inside depended entirely on what the designer liked to put in the space ring.
Although there are no ancient books recording what these ruins were used for when they were first built, scholars on the Lar continent have speculated that the ruins were most likely residences built by people in ancient times for themselves, because the details in each relic are different. Although the construction style of the ruins in the same area is very uniform, the internal layout is completely different.
Under the night sky created by magic, with the help of the moonlight simulated by the disc-shaped lighting crystals embedded in the night sky, Xie Wei skillfully cleared out the flying monsters while taking a break to watch Sal and Frost catch fish.
Irel sat under the tree and did not help, but his eyes were always on Shevi and he never let his guard down for a moment.
Sal, who was fishing in the stream, was also multitasking. He looked like he was fishing seriously, but in fact he was observing Xie Wei's surroundings with his peripheral vision.
Raymond was observing the big tree with his arms folded. He found a bird's nest on the tree and was thinking whether to eat roasted or boiled bird eggs.
Therefore, the only one who can truly immerse himself in fishing is the cub Flos.
Frost looked at the small fish in Sal's hand, then at the big fish he had caught, his round ice-blue eyes full of disbelief.
That kind of small fish is not enough to fill the gaps between teeth! Sal can't even catch a big fish!
Flos threw the big fish he caught to the shore, and then devoted himself to his fishing career again. Now the burden of supporting the family fell on him!
Sal didn't know that while he was away, Frost took on the responsibility of feeding them.
After Shevi had cleared all the flying monsters and set up a protective barrier under the guidance of Irel, Thrall was preparing to catch two fish for Shevi to make soup. When he glanced at the shore, he found that there were more than twenty fish piled up there, and Flos was standing on the pile of fish with his paws in his hands, shaking his tail proudly.
Thanks to Frost's efforts, everyone had pan-fried fish fillets, grilled fish with hot peppers, and milky fish soup in the evening.
Since Sal and Raymond have big appetites, in addition to the several fish dishes made by Sal, Xie Wei also took out some ingredients from the space bag and made bacon stewed rice.
Irel had a bad stomach, so Xie Wei only cut a small piece of grilled fish with hot spicy fruit for him to taste, and only gave him half a bowl of bacon rice. Irel himself had no objection, but Raymond had a lot of objections. He could see that Irel liked the grilled fish with hot spicy fruit very much, so he wanted to feed Irel with the grilled fish he got.
While feeding him, he whispered to the cricket: "Yrel, Xie Wei won't let you eat grilled fish, so I'll give you all mine."
After saying this, he thought of the bird eggs on the tree and asked again with some anticipation.
"Can you give me the bird eggs from the tree? The tree is too high and I can't climb up."
Irel didn't eat the grilled fish that Raymond brought to him. He looked up at the bird's nest about two meters above the ground, and said in a rare good temper: "Raymond, you are not a cub anymore. Even if you are still a cub, you should learn from Frost. He can find food by himself, and you can do it too."
The friendship between Raymond and Frost capsized again. He glared at the cub who was eating opposite him, then opened his mouth and bit off half of the grilled fish, chewing the fish bones with his teeth.
He can't! Other cubs can find their own food, but he can't! He just wants to eat the food that Yrel finds!
When Raymond was young, his memory inheritance told him that people who were willing to share food with him or find food for him were people who liked him and cared about him.
Although he had received food shared or provided by others after his transformation, in his logic, only Yrel gave him food and shared food with him, which showed that she cared about him and liked him.
So even though he knew he was no longer a cub, Raymond would still occasionally ask Iriel for food.
He could find food on his own, but the food he found was different from the food given by Irel.
are different.
The system showed that at around 7:30 in the evening, Xie Wei was sitting next to Iriel wearing a fur blanket, watching Raymond and Sal set up the tent.
This natural landscape features not only the magical night sky, streams and meadows, but also the low temperatures and evening breezes.
Living in a tent is definitely more comfortable than sleeping on the ground.
After the tent in the system is taken out, its appearance will automatically change to the common tent material and appearance on the Lar continent, and even the matching sleeping bag will be made of animal skin.
There are also some other camping equipment, which will become the style of the Lar continent after being taken out, but it was not like this when Xie Wei used it himself before.
Xie Wei thought about it and felt that this might be a protection mechanism of the system.
Irel played with the camping light that Xie Wei had taken out and asked casually, "Did Sal Pukas give you your space prop?"
It is impossible for the emperor of the empire to give a space item of this level to Xie Wei, and it is also unlikely that the Paraso people will get a space item of this level.
So where did Xie Wei's space prop come from? It seems to be a magic prop that only the person himself can see.
In Yriel's memory, neither his mother or father, nor anyone he knew, had this type of spatial prop.
Xie Wei was imprisoned in the tower for so many years, and was sent to the Far North Territory after he grew up. Logically, he had no chance to obtain this type of space prop.
In Xie Wei's memory, in the part he could see, this space prop had never appeared. From this, it seems that the origin of this space prop should be a secret hidden in Xie Wei's heart.
Xie Wei and Yi Ruier were both sitting in folding chairs with a folding table in front of them. He shook his head and said, "It's not sent by Thrall." Then he picked up the hot milk on the table and started his daily height growth plan, also trying to skip this topic.
When Iriel saw Xie Wei holding the milk with a look on his face saying how delicious the milk was, he reached out and touched his hair. Then, instead of dwelling on the matter, he explained another magic to Xie Wei while he was still awake.
Irel stopped asking questions and Xie Wei breathed a sigh of relief. When he lay down in the tent set up by Thrall, he couldn't sleep. But what was strange today was that Thrall fell asleep very quickly.
Xie Wei thought that Sal was like this because he was tired. After all, Sal had been responsible for clearing the way for them today. Moreover, Gesan told him that Sal sat outside the tent for a long time in the early morning. He must have not slept well last night and was sleepy now.
As a result, because he drank a lot of soup at night, when Xie Wei got up at night, he left Sal's arms and went outside the tent. When he returned to the tent, he found that Sal was not awake yet. Xie Wei realized that something was wrong.
Normally, Sal would wake up when he got up, and even if he didn't go out with him, he would wait for him to come back before going back to sleep. It has always been like this.
He was in a hurry just now and didn't pay attention. After returning to the tent, he found that Sal seemed to be sleeping too deeply.
"Sal, wake up, Sal..."
After lying beside Thrall and calling him for a long time, the sleeping man did not respond at all. Shevi took out his magic wand and set up a three-layer protective barrier for Thrall, then left the tent and went to another tent to find Irel. He found that Raymond, who was guarding outside the tent, and Irel and Frost in the tent, were all sleeping soundly like Thrall.
After finding that Iriel could not be awakened, Xie Wei panicked for a while, but then quickly calmed down. He first gathered the sleeping people into a tent, and then used the 9-square-meter safe house that was upgraded with points from the system to cover the people. Then he began to use detection magic to sense whether there was anything wrong around.
The detection magic did not detect anything unusual, and Xie Wei stayed by the tent without moving. After an unknown amount of time, there was suddenly some noise by the stream, and then a voice came from the stream, softly calling Xie Wei's name.
Xie Wei walked uncontrollably towards the stream. This was the second time he encountered this situation, but what was better was that this time he still retained his self-awareness.
Gripping his wand tightly, Shevi tried to break free from the control using the method Yrel had taught him, but the thing that summoned him was much more powerful than he was.
When he stepped into the stream, he barely slowed down his pace and released several attack magics, but the attack magics only made some noises and failed to free him from control.
The originally narrow and shallow stream suddenly turned into a deep river with a whirlpool in the center, and he was walking towards the whirlpool.
The river water gradually flooded over Xie Wei's calves, knees, waist, elbows, and chest. Just as he stepped into the whirlpool and was about to be drowned by the water, someone suddenly appeared beside him, reached out and held him tightly in his arms.
Unlike Thrall's possessive embrace, this embrace was gentle and firm. He didn't feel oppressed, but at the same time, he felt that the other party would never let him go no matter what.
