I Was Once a Legend

Cui Zuojing was tired and hungry. He and Heinrich had already digested the venison they ate in the morning. His stomach was empty and he felt a little uncomfortable.

He and Dong Zheng leaned on each other, resting against the cave wall, the man quietly closed his eyes and rested his mind, if the prisoner link told him that Dong Zheng was also very hungry, seeing this calm performance, Cui Zuojing would really think that Dong Zheng was a man What about Iron Man?

Cui Zuojing moved around dishonestly, which made him uncomfortable.

If he was with other people in the team, Lin Hangzhi, Ai Lun or whoever, he would never have such an unsteady and restless performance, but now, he knows that Dong Zheng doesn't care, No matter what kind of thoughts he has, it doesn't matter if he fully expresses them. Anyway, the two have a connection, even if they don't say it, they will be perceived.

Suddenly, the young man had an idea: "Let me go back to the prisoner's space to eat something, I will come out when I am full."

Dong Zheng opened his eyes, didn't say much nonsense, his fingers lightly drew a mark in the air, and the coat of arms on the back of his hand flashed, and Cui Zuojing disappeared beside him.

In the empty underground cavity, he was the only one left.

This is loneliness that Dong Zheng has never been familiar with since he was a child.

Cui Zuojing returned to the prisoner's space, and immediately imagined a table of food that he wanted to eat, ate it upside down, and even enjoyed himself a barbecue.

Dong Zheng glanced in through his consciousness and stopped peeping. There is nothing more painful than watching others feast on a hungry stomach.

Cui Zuojing ate a full meal, eating to his heart's content, with greasy lips on his mouth, not forgetting his starving companions outside, so he hurried out to accompany Dong Zheng.

Of course, he can't bring out anything from the prisoner's space.

The starvation of two people suddenly turned into a starvation of one person. Cui Zuojing was still a little embarrassed. He sat down beside Dong Zheng honestly. Seeing that the man had been resting with his eyes closed, he said: "Go to sleep for a while, I see on."

Dong Zheng nodded, without refusing, he was indeed exhausted.

Cui Zuojing gently pushed him down, patted his thigh when Dong Zheng opened his eyes and asked with his gaze, and said, "I'll give you a chance to sleep comfortably, do you want to?"

Dong Zheng thought he had misunderstood: "What?"

"For the sake of saving my life, let you sleep comfortably." Cui Zuojing said while pressing Dong Zheng's shoulder to press him down. I pillow your leg?"

There was some disbelief in his words, Cui Zuojing lowered his head and looked at him for a second, then curled his lips: "If you don't want to, forget it, I have good intentions, why are you still coy."

"That's not what I meant." Dong Zheng quickly lay down before he regretted it, "I always thought you didn't like being too intimate with people."

"Where did you see it?" Cui Zuojing was a little curious, "I think I have always behaved like a normal person."

"...Maybe I'm too sensitive."

"Go to sleep, don't waste time, you rest for a while to recharge your spirits, we will set off again, we can't stay here any longer." Cui Zuojing covered Dong Zheng's eyes with one hand, "It's dark, sleep Go to sleep."

like a child.

This thought flashed across Dong Zheng's mind, and he quickly suppressed all his thoughts and ideas in his heart, in order to prevent being transmitted to Cui Zuojing by the spiritual link.

He lay his pillow on the boy's lap, turned his back up, and felt the wonderful softness in this dark, wet, cold underground cavity.

Although Cui Zuojing looks thin, he does have a lot of flesh on his body, which grows in places that are difficult for others to notice.

The hand covering Dong Zheng's eyes was removed, slightly brushing his eyelashes.

Dong Zheng actually wanted to feel this sudden surprise for a while longer, but he was too tired. The closing of the pain sensor port, the forced enhancement of vision, and the injuries of him and Cui Zuojing all put a heavy mental load on him.

In just a few breaths, he fell into a deep sleep.

Cui Zuojing sighed silently, leaned his back against the cave wall, and looked down at Dong Zheng who was lying on his lap—it could be seen that Dong Zheng was really tired, and after lack of deliberate control, he finally appeared in his sleep. His face was full of tiredness, and a short layer of stubble appeared on his chin. The slovenly look was not like his usual style, but he didn't look ugly.

Surrounded by the sound of water dripping from the ceiling of the cave, Cui Zuojing slowly thought about everything that happened since he entered the box, sorting out the clues that might be related.

There were 30 pilgrims in the original box of 31 people. The person who died of brain tissue damage at the beginning could be regarded as a monster who died hidden on the ship, but something seemed wrong.

They have already landed on Dusk Island, and have seen many abnormal creatures on it, but they have not found any one with that ability.

There is also the box and the inverted pentagram found in the power cabin. Dong Zheng said that he sensed the energy of chaos from the box, and Anjou came to him, all for the purpose of taking the box away.

And... the Spanish man who seems to have an encyclopedia and customs clearance cheats in his head, carrying a top-quality weapon, and has an inexplicable fate with their team, the taciturn Domingo.

Cui Zuojing stroked it again, only to tell him that the biggest variable in this box, the most critical point, may be in Domingo.

Now this person doesn't know where he was teleported by the black mist. Cui Zuojing thought carefully and felt... there seemed to be an inexplicable rivalry and hostility between Domingo and Dong Zheng?

He logically understood this as a confrontation of strength between two male creatures.

Dong Zheng was lying on his lap, and Cui Zuojing couldn't move around, so he leaned against the stone wall to rest, counting Dong Zheng's eyelashes one by one under the glowing blue light of the accompanying crystal ore in his boredom.

Dong Zheng said that he looked more like his mother. Although he had never seen that woman, Cui Zuojing still guessed that she must be a great beauty.

After counting the eyelashes, he began to count Dong Zheng's beard, and took out a piece of paper, trying to secretly use the power of the Slayer to trim him.

An hour and a half later, feeling that the fluctuations from the prisoner's link had stabilized, Cui Zuojing patted Dong Zheng's shoulder to wake him up.

Dong Zheng frowned and opened his eyes. It took him two seconds to realize what the soft "pillow" under his head was.

"How long have I slept?"

Cui Zuojing grabbed his hand and looked at his watch: "About an hour and a half."

Dong Zheng hummed in a low voice. He slept peacefully this time, not at all like staying in the cave where the prehistoric giant Leviathan touched just now. The rest effect during tense moments is excellent. He slept soundly It didn't take long, but the whole person was much more energetic.

Dong Zheng knew in his heart that it was only because Cui Zuojing was by his side. He believed that no matter what happened, the young man would not let him fall into danger suddenly.

He sat up propped up, feeling a bit chilly on the side of his cheeks, and raised his hand to touch it, only to find that his temples had disappeared at some point.

Dong Zheng:?

Cui Zuojing looked away innocently, staring at a crystal on the cave wall, as if he could see some flowers from it.

Dong Zheng lowered his head and saw the black hair stubble scattered on the boy's pants.

Dong Zheng: …………………………………………………

Dong Zheng quickly groped his head, and after making sure that his hair had not been shaved off, he sighed and patted Cui Zuojing's pants.

Cui Zuojing, who realized that he was discovered: …………………………

"Let's go." Dong Zheng didn't mention this matter again. Without a mirror, he didn't know what Cui Zuojing had done to him, but it didn't matter.

Cui Zuojing was relieved to see that he didn't pursue it, and felt a little regretful. After he shaved off Dong Zheng's sideburns by the way, he had already thought of a way to deal with it, but now he doesn't need it.

Time has been frozen at the age of 16 for eight years. If he is not erupting in silence, he will be abnormal in silence. Cui Zuojing has long discovered that he is sometimes very cheap without knowing it, such as now.

The two explored this huge underground space again. Compared with the rush when they first arrived, now they are much more careful in order to find the way out.

Soon Cui Zuojing found a dark passage on the other side of the lake, winding its way to nowhere.

They went in one after the other, walking through the underground world.

It seemed that the closer they were to the cavity, the more crystals would be associated with them. As they moved forward, the cave became dark again, and soon Cui Zuojing couldn't see anything.

He took the same method as when he came, holding Dong Zheng's hand and letting him lead the way.

Apart from the two of them, there seemed to be no other living things in the cave, and there were no fish in the underground channel, except for the sound of water dripping, it was the breathing of the two of them, which was eerily quiet.

I don't know how long it took, maybe two hours?Anyway, Cui Zuojing was led by Dong Zheng throughout the whole process, and he had given up most of his thinking. He followed Dong Zheng wherever he went.

The wind blows from afar.

Cui Zuojing was shocked, and his consciousness returned immediately. He trotted forward a few steps in the dark, dragged Dong Zheng and asked, "Is there an exit in front?"

Dong Zheng gave him an affirmative answer.

Five hours after entering the cave from the canyon, the pair were finally back on the surface.

Feeling the wind on the land, eyes once again caught the moonlight and starlight, and the rustling sound of the treetops being blown in the ears, Cui Zuojing finally heaved a sigh of relief, because the surrounding environment has not been stimulated for a long time. Weak, and now slowly recovering.

Cui Zuojing carefully observed the stars in the sky, saw the North Star he was looking for, and judged that they were now obliquely northeast of the island.

There is no sound of waves, this place is not by the sea.

The two walked another distance, and there seemed to be starlight reflecting off the water in front of them. When they got closer, Dong Zheng realized that there was a swamp lying in front of them.

This is a typical mangrove swamp. The roots of the uneven mangrove trees are intertwined and entangled together, dividing the swamp into several independent but connected waterways.

The shrubs and reeds were scrambled by the mangroves to survive the sunlight, and they grew sparsely on the shore.

Cui Zuojing picked up a stone and threw it vigorously, the stone fell into the water with a plop, and soon sank into the thick mud below, startling a resting water bird or two, fluttering away in panic.

Dong Zheng turned around and found that in order to leave here, they had to cross the swamp.

"The box is deliberately causing trouble for us." Cui Zuojing said.As we all know, there are often many animals and entangled plants lurking in the swamp, which is full of dangers. Crossing the swamp is definitely a severe challenge for human beings.

"It shouldn't be too troublesome." Dong Zheng found a small wooden boat on the shore not far away, probably left by the British expedition team from the past. The boat is not big and can only accommodate four people.

He inspected it and found that the damage was not serious and it was still usable.

Cui Zuojing came over, bent down and picked up the oar, which was completely corroded black by the water plants, and said, "Well, it seems that we can only use it."
