Lord of Eternal Darkness

"Nothing, just curious, why do you have to wear a blindfold? Can you see clearly like this?" Li Xiaoming looked at the cloth wrapped around the other person's eyes.

St. Assad replied: "It's nothing. My eyes are clear and I can see everything clearly. It's just that the worldly people cannot see the eyes of the Holy Spirit. They are disrespectful and may suffer disaster, so don't worry about it anymore."

"Well, it seems that we need to spend the next time together. I apologize for disturbing you." Li Xiaoming said with a smile.

Saint Assad nodded and said shyly: "No, no, it should be said that I disturbed you instead. I am usually a bit clumsy, and even spoiled, which broke the hearts of the nuns a lot."

Li Xiaoming replied: "It's okay. This trip to the desert may make you strong and independent. We can still rely on each other. At least we won't be so lonely, right?"

Saint Assad thought for a moment and nodded.

"Yeah, that's right. It's nice to meet you, sir."

Li Xiaoming smoothed the sand out of his hair and looked at the setting sun, which was slowly setting and dyeing half of the sky red.

He said expressionlessly: "Just a reminder, don't be too happy. Helping you is just a convenient behavior. This convenient behavior is based on establishing your own capabilities.

"If I were an ordinary person at that time, I would definitely give up on you. And there are other deadly threats in the desert. Maybe I will sell you next time. So I beg you to be more careful."

"It's impossible. God told me that you are the kind of gentle and kind person. Even if..."

The two looked at each other and she stopped talking.

Li Xiaoming looked at the girl with cold eyes, and Saint Assad could feel a chill emanating from her back.

Li Xiaoming laughed out loud when he saw the dumb girl.

"Interesting, I hope we can become friends instead of enemies in the future. After all, it is difficult to attack such a beautiful girl, and it seems not very good to drug her."

Li Xiaoming muttered a few words in a low voice, hoping that the other party would hear, but not wanting the other party to understand.

The sky gradually darkened, and the goddess of the night gradually occupied a corner of the world.

The gentle darkness reminds everyone that it's time to rest, and also awakens the hunters in the darkness to start a new killing spree.

Before it got completely dark, Li Xiaoming planned to collect some firewood and make a fire.

Replenish some water and energy, then take out the sleeping bag from your backpack and take a good rest.

He looked around and carefully observed the environment. There was a freshwater lake next to it, which should have been caused by the upwelling of underground springs.

There are also some fruit trees growing nearby, which ensures carbohydrate needs are met.

But as soon as he got close to the lake, he could feel an inexplicable discomfort. What was hidden in this bottomless blue lake?

I hope there won't be any messy things crawling up when I go to sleep at night, that would be bad.

The living location should be moved about 50 meters into the jungle. If possible, try to live in a tree.

You can avoid some large predators and some nasty bugs, and your safety is guaranteed for a night. There is no need to be afraid of the snakes themselves, after all, they have a high affinity.

"Beauty, can you help me pick up some firewood? By the way, don't go near the lake at night."

Without waiting for the woman's consent, Li Xiaoming left his position, picked up firewood nearby, and searched for his residence.

After Saint Assad agreed, he also started to get busy, collecting some dry firewood and picking some wild fruits.

"Move the firewood to the sandy area over there. It's safer because there are trees around it, and it's less likely to cause fire."

After Li Xiaoming walked 50 meters with Saint Assad, he finally found a suitable resting place.

Li Xiaoming took out his mobile phone and wanted to check the time. Only then did he realize that the mobile phone had been turned off and completely out of battery.

"Damn it! I forgot to bring my solar power bank. Oh my god...oh." Then he slammed the phone on the sand and picked it up with some distress.

Saint Assad stretched her head over curiously and asked: "Your face is so twitching and scary, what's wrong? Could it be that you are possessed by a demon? Do you need me to help you exorcise it?"

Li Xiaoming replied: "It's nothing. I don't know the trouble of time. I have mild anxiety and schizophrenia, so you have to be careful with me."

"Oh, it's 7:15 now."

Saint Assad raised her jade hand and looked at the gold watch on it.

After Li Xiaoming saw this watch, he was even more certain that the other party definitely belonged to a wealthy family, and was at least a third-level noble.

But I breathed a sigh of relief, and now I have some control over the allocation of time.

As for the direction, I have already carved the map into my head. As long as there are no accidents on the road, I can definitely reach it.

St. Assad clasped her hands together and said piously: "Thanks to God's gift, I start."

Then he picked up the wild fruits he just picked up and prepared to eat them.

Li Xiaoming realized something was wrong, walked over and knocked the wild fruit out of her hand.

There was a crisp sound, "Ah, it hurts."

Saint Assad screamed in pain, and red marks appeared on her hands.

"What are you doing? You are a rude man. Do you want to disturb girls when they are dining?"

"Sorry for being a little anxious. The fruit is not ripe yet. If you eat it now, it will be highly poisonous and your stomach will hurt." Li Xiaoming explained.

Saint Assad blew on her aching hand and said angrily: "What are you talking about? Isn't this just a wild apple? And it has turned red, so it must be overripe."

Li Xiaoming shook his head and persuaded earnestly: "It's not that I have trouble with you, I just don't want to lose my beauty. Your wild apples have scales on them. They are snake heart fruits. They are only mature when they are green. They can be eaten, and they are also There’s a fragrance.”

Saint Assad was dubious, so she put the fruit to her nose and smelled it, but there was no smell.

It does seem unripe, but the fruit is clearly red, which represents maturity.

Li Xiaoming sighed, this is the difference between people who are knowledgeable and talented and people who are less educated.

"Forget it, don't eat these snake nuts. I'll treat you to eat as much as you want from now on."

"But I'm hungry and want to eat."

St. Assad's cheeks puffed up, she crossed her hands and sounded unhappy.

"I have food here."

"Where is it? Take it out, you bad guy."

Li Xiaoming took out beef jerky, some compressed food, and a canned lunch and handed them to her.

Saint Assad showed joy on her face and said in surprise: "There is really something to eat. You didn't lie to me."

Li Xiaoming looked at the satisfied silly girl, and the inexplicable sadness in his eyes increased by two points.

Hey, what a beautiful girl, but she is a fool.

I hope that when I go to Titan City, I can cure the other party's brain. Maybe her family will be grateful and pay me back several times the price. Due to the face, I will definitely give it, so this transaction is not a loss.

If you want to betroth your daughter to me, then you should refuse. After all, I already have a fiancée, and we are not passionate people.

There was a silly smile on Li Xiaoming's lips.

Saint Assad looked at Li Xiaoming who was in a bit of a bad state and felt a little scared.

"This gentleman seems to have some mental problems. He will not prepare to do anything to me after I have eaten and drank enough. Even if he can't beat me, my uncle said that he must not accept the food given by strangers. , it may be poisoned.”

Thinking about this, the other person's smile became even more terrifying and perverted in my mind.

Saint Assad placed the things given by the other party on the ground, placed them in front of the other party, and carefully took three steps back.

Li Xiaoming felt a burst of heartache. He seemed not to be trusted. Were you serious about taking those few steps back?

"Sir, don't you want to eat it yourself?" she said cautiously.

"I won't eat, because I don't carry a lot of food reserves. Only me is included. If I don't meet the camel bell caravan, I don't know how many days it will take to walk to Titan City. Well, why don't you Have you eaten?"

"You haven't eaten yet, haven't you?"

"Don't worry about me, I only eat two meals a day. Eat quickly, we will build a shelter later."

Saint Assad felt that she had misunderstood the other party, so she hurriedly covered it up and said: "The food is too dry and I can't eat it."

Li Xiaoming understood immediately, and then took out another compressed crystal block from his portable space.

Then he ran to where the backpack was, rummaged around and took out a water bottle.

Twist the crystal block and point your head at the kettle. The material inside reacts with the air as it flows. Using the chemical principle of hydrogen-oxygen reaction, it becomes drinkable water, and more and more, but If not done properly, an explosion may occur.

When it was almost full, Li Xiaoming put away the compressed crystal block. There should be enough water in it for about three more pots.

"Huh, try it once it's done. It should be no different from pure water."

Saint Assad had never seen such an advanced invention before, and took the pot of water over with some hesitation.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. It's an honor to serve a beautiful woman."

Li Xiaoming took out the magnesium bar again, picked up the iron sheet and scratched it, and a flame suddenly burst out, and the bonfire was immediately created.

"I thought you were going to drill wood to make fire."

Saint Assad looked at the fire and felt a warmth.

Li Xiaoming smiled and replied: "This is the benefit of science. Be prepared for everything and face any challenges and difficulties. It is said that a magician-type extraordinary person can manually rub fireballs. What is the principle? I am very envious."
