Rebirth of turning waste into treasure

Early the next morning, when the sky was only twilight, Cheng Xiao opened his eyes with a little haze.

He originally wanted to stretch his limbs a little, but found himself still held in Lan's arms.Foreign races don't need much sleep time, so Lan used to get up very early, what's the matter today...

Cheng Xiao tilted his head and looked at the foreigner beside him. Sure enough, the other party had woken up at some point, and a pair of deep and sharp eyes were facing him.

"Wake up." Lan's voice was deep and magnetic, like wine that had been weathered for a long time.

"...Get up." Cheng Xiao's voice was a little hoarse, but he was very firm. The things in his body hadn't been pulled out yet. How long will this alien race have to plug in? It's been a night!

Lan unobtrusively raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and looked at the human being in his arms with a little meaning, and then slowly withdrew from the still wet body of the other party, got up and got out of bed.

Cheng Xiao moved his lower back tentatively, and found that the pain was not as sore as imagined, and the faint numbness was still there behind him, but other than that, there was no other discomfort. Is it really effective to keep that thing in it? ?

Because the foreign object had just been pulled out, Cheng Xiao couldn't help but blush at the place where it couldn't close for a while. He found that the remaining liquid from last night did not show any signs of flowing out, and he presumably had almost absorbed it all.

"Let's gather first." Lan said lightly. Seeing that the human beings had already woken up, he picked up the packages on the ground and was ready to go. Rin had consciously woke up and waited outside.

Cheng Xiao simply tied up his hair, washed and put on his clothes, and opened the door of his room refreshed. After a whole night of tossing and turning, he did not expect that after waking up, he would be very energetic.

When they came to the gate of the castle, there were already many aliens and humans who were about to set off, and there were many minor aliens who were about the same age as Rin.

Because this is a rare opportunity to go to the central castle to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony, everyone looked a little happy, but the journey was far away, so people were more worried and cautious.

"Lan, you are here." A human came over, greeted Lan, and nodded kindly to Cheng Xiao who was standing aside.

Cheng Xiao looked at the human beings in front of him, and he was a little surprised, probably not often seen on weekdays.

"When are you leaving?" Lan asked lightly.

"Hurry up, wait for Jing to count the number of people." The human replied with a smile, then turned to look at Cheng Xiao, and extended his hand friendly, "Hello, my name is An Yun, Jing's partner."

Jing seems to be the captain of the castle's alien guards. Cheng Xiao stretches out his hand. This human named An Yun has a good relationship with Lin Ye, but the other party's body seems to have been weak before, so Cheng Xiao hasn't seen him outside much. , just knowing a little about the other party's situation from Lin Ye's mouth, that's all.

"It's the first time we met. I heard something about you before...you are amazing." An Yun said with a smile.

"...It's nothing." Cheng Xiao said flatly, he did not do anything earth-shattering or weeping ghosts and gods.

"No, I want to thank you. If I hadn't drank the soup you made, I'm afraid I would never be able to go out in my life." An Yun put away his smile and said seriously.His body could not recover after a serious illness. He thought that he might not have much time to live, but he didn't expect that after drinking a few times of big fungus tree mushroom soup, he recovered a little vitality.

"...You're welcome." Cheng Xiao nodded. The big fungus tree mushroom soup can indeed treat some stubborn diseases of physical weakness, and the medicine is extremely powerful, and the effect is fast.

"This time you also invented this medicinal drink that can relieve fatigue." An Yun shook his water bag, "It's really a miraculous medicine."

He admired Cheng Xiao for promoting the method of making this medicinal drink for free.

"...not bad." Cheng Xiao hooked the corner of his mouth slightly. In fact, this kind of medicinal drink made of silver leaf grass is not advanced. Although it is good for humans, it is effective for the already strong body of the foreign race. Not much effect.

"Everyone, we are ready to go now. Please remember to be careful along the way. We must ensure that everyone can reach the central city safely." A loud voice came, and Cheng Xiao looked up. The alien who explained the precautions to everyone should be Jing.

Cheng Xiao looked around, and found that the team's personnel arrangement was of a collective and cooperative type, and the alien races were arranged to the periphery one after another, surrounding humans and alien cubs in the middle, instead of forming a family as a unit as Cheng Xiao imagined. small unit structure.

"After arriving at the main road, we will reconfigure the team." Lan thought that the human beings were dissatisfied and wanted to walk, so he said softly, "I can't hug you yet."

After speaking, Lan walked towards the front of the team. The aliens with strong fighting power were usually responsible for opening the way.

Cheng Xiao: "..." Who wants to hug me.

"It's time to go." An Yun's body seemed to be fine, and he was leading Cheng Xiao to the middle of the team, which was the best place to save effort.

Is this taking care of yourself?Cheng Xiao looked at An Yun who took the initiative to pull her.

"Lin Ye has been holding me for a long time, let me take good care of you." Observing some doubts in Cheng Xiao's eyes, An Yun said with a smile.

Although Cheng Xiao had a bad reputation in the past, Lin Ye assured him that today is different from the past, and Cheng Xiao has begun to change. Although he is not familiar with Cheng Xiao, he believes that Lin Ye is not the kind of person who talks nonsense. Coupled with what happened a few days ago, An Yun became somewhat curious about Cheng Xiao.

Maybe a serious illness can really make people understand many things, An Yun looked at Cheng Xiao's calm face and thought to himself.

Except for the castle, the atmosphere in the team immediately became serious. Without the security defense facilities of the castle, this vast gray land is full of deadly traps.

In addition, due to geographical problems, it is necessary to avoid dangerous cliffs and torrents, so there is only one main road from the nearby castles to the central city, and many beasts with a little bit of wisdom know about this road. If you are lucky, you can come across a lot of food.

Although they were protected by aliens in the middle of the team, everyone did not relax their vigilance.

Cheng Xiao clenched the dagger in his hand, he had to carry it all the time, otherwise, if an accident happened, it would be too late to pull out the weapon at his waist with the speed of a human being, and he couldn't completely rely on his time-sensitive and trigger-conditional abnormality. able.

"No accident, we should have to go for 20 days." An Yun said to Cheng Xiao, so that he can be mentally prepared to avoid being too nervous, "But when we get close to the edge of the central city, we can relax gone."

Cheng Xiao smiled and nodded to express his gratitude. Lan also mentioned last night that the most dangerous area is when entering the main road. There are many humans and aliens who intend to go to the central city. land.

"He is your mother and father?" Rong looked at the human being who was talking to his mother and father. He was not familiar with Rin before, but he also knew that this guy's body was full of signs of being abused. The old wounds had not healed, and new wounds continued , so even though Rin is very strong, they can't help but sympathize with each other.

Now I heard that his parents seem to be getting better, at least there are no new bloodstains on Rin's skin that is usually exposed outside his clothes.

"Yeah." Rin replied flatly, this guy named Rong is not weak, it's just that they are not in a training team, so they rarely meet each other.

Curiously, Rong raised his head and looked at Cheng Xiao again. This human being is indeed very good-looking.

After walking for a long time, Cheng Xiao couldn't help licking his dry lips. Because the air was hot and dry, when the team moved forward, most people kept silent to avoid wasting excess energy.

At noon, the sunlight was so strong that Cheng Xiao felt as if he was being fried on an iron plate, and he was still upright, so he didn't need to turn over.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, lifted the cap on his head, and looked around. The other human beings were suffering even more, their lips were already chapped. They bowed their waists and walked slowly. Before entering the main road, they could only Supported by his own legs.

If it weren't for this kind of clothing that covers the whole body and has a cap, I am afraid that no one can support it for so long. Unfortunately, this kind of clothing is produced in the central city, the quantity is not large, and the price is also very expensive. Will not use it at all.

"Let's take a rest in the front." Jing pointed to a small oasis not far away. Although the place is not big, it can withstand the scorching sun's rays, and human beings also need to replenish their energy.

The aliens were on guard at the edge of the oasis. An Yun pulled Cheng Xiao to a relatively clean rock, and sat down directly. He took the water bag from Rong and drank several sips of water. He was indeed very tired at the moment. I couldn't say a word.

A water sac also appeared in front of Cheng Xiao, and Rin was holding it, looking straight at himself with no expression on his face.

Tsk, what a good boy, Cheng Xiao raised the corner of his mouth slightly, took it bluntly, and slowly swallowed a few mouthfuls, the unique cooling feeling of silver leaf grass juice went down his throat, all the way down, and soon spread all over his body, Cheng Xiao Xiao couldn't help stretching his muscles and bones slightly. This kind of rush will continue for a while, and he needs to adapt as soon as possible.

Alien races do not need to replenish water frequently. The water bladders they carry on their bodies are just in case, and the second is to supply their own humans to enjoy.

Cheng Xiao looked around at the resting human beings. The several small beast attacks he met along the way were completely stopped by the aliens. It must be said that they took good care of and protected their partners.

Seeing that his mother and father were fine, Lin sat on another rock and began to wipe his dagger, because he had been holding it in his hand, and there was a lot of dust on it, which might affect the sharpness...

Cheng Xiao raised his eyebrows and picked up the child.

"!" Rin couldn't be on guard to fight back because he smelled the breath of his mother and father, but just fell into a warm embrace.

There is a fresh breath on the human body, which smells good, but Rin is struggling slightly to get off the ground. Humans have never hugged him like this.

The child's body is not heavy, but the limbs are well-proportioned and powerful. The delicate skin unique to teenagers feels good to the touch, and the fine hair hangs between the neck. A little suspicious.

Cheng Xiao couldn't help pinching the child's cheek lightly, keeping his face straight, won't he be paralyzed in the future.

Rin pursed her lips and let Cheng Xiao fiddle with it. What does this human being want to do?

"Aren't you tired, drink some water." Finding that Rin didn't seem to be drinking any water, Cheng Xiao unscrewed the mouth of the water bag again. Although adult aliens disdain the medicinal effect of silver leaf grass, this drink is very suitable for minors. The cub's body is still in good shape.

Rin is not very thirsty, so he will not waste these medicinal drinks specially provided for humans. He plans to drink some by himself when he encounters a natural water source.

The child shook his head and refused, and then his mouth was directly stuffed into the long and thin opening of the water bladder.

Domineering humans!

In order not to be choked, Rin had no choice but to swallow the medicinal drink that was poured into his mouth. As soon as the cool liquid entered the mouth, the child felt a bit of physical recovery, and the effect was so fast.

After taking two sips, Rin pushed the human's hand away forcefully. Although these medicinal drinks are effective for him, there are not many of them in stock. Humans still have dozens of days to go on this journey.

Standing aside, Rong looked at Rin who was hugged by humans. Although it was a little unbelievable that Rin, who had always been indifferent, would obediently be hugged like this, but what happened to this inexplicable sense of harmony.

On the contrary, An Yun has a little more affection for Cheng Xiao. People who like children are generally not bad at all.

The first few sections of the journey were very difficult for the people. If they hadn't been drinking silver leaf grass juice to replenish their physical strength, they might have to delay this short journey even longer.

Cheng Xiao hasn't showered for seven days, his whole body is sweaty, and his underwear has stuck to his body, which makes people feel uncomfortable every time they take a step.

For the sake of safety, the team drove almost overnight, with little time to rest. Although the physical fitness of human beings has undergone great changes in the last days, they still cannot withstand the excessive physical exertion.

The alien races who have been highly tense for many days also began to feel a little tired. After all, it is not an easy task to protect so many humans at one time. Even if it is just a small wound, it is very difficult in this desolate land. It will deteriorate easily, and it is fatal for humans with weak body immunity.

"Cheer up, everyone, there is a resting place before entering the main road." Jing also encouraged several humans in the team when he noticed that they were starting to lose their strength.

"Cheng Xiao, are you... okay? When we arrive at the resting place, we... we can rest for the night." Panting for breath, An Yun forced himself to walk forward, and Rong looked at his parents from time to time , for fear that his legs would go limp and he would fall directly to the ground.

Seeing that the other party was talking intermittently and still caring about himself, Cheng Xiao also reached out his hand by the way, supported his shoulder, and walked forward slowly.

"Don't...help me, be careful yourself..." An Yun didn't have the nerve to bother Cheng Xiao, everyone was human, and Cheng Xiao didn't seem to have a very strong physique.

"It's nothing." Cheng Xiao replied lightly, but he was a little surprised in his heart.

Although his physical strength was exhausted, his body seemed to be subtly changing due to the supernatural powers in his body. After walking for so many days, he was able to hold on completely without much discomfort.

Lin narrowed his eyes slightly, seeing that the always selfish human was supporting his partner to move on. He walked to Cheng Xiao's side and approached inadvertently. If the human accidentally fell, he could quickly catch it.

A touch of green finally appeared in the field of vision, which is very eye-catching in the gray world. Cheng Xiao looked at several tall bone piles along the way. The so-called resting place on the main road is not so safe.

When everyone arrived at the resting place, the aliens who were exploring the way ahead had already set up camps. Looking around, there were no less than ten camps, large and small. Presumably, those resting inside were also other castle residents who were going to the same destination.

The governing area of ​​the central city is quite large, Cheng Xiao thought to himself, he saw many unknown humans and alien races walking around, everyone's footsteps were very light, and their voices were almost whispers.

People are very alert when going out. Cheng Xiao squinted his eyes and walked carefully around the safe zone. After observing the surrounding situation, he took out a spare piece of clothing from the package. This is their The only chance to go out and shower.

When they are on the main road, they will seize the time and move forward quickly, except for the necessary food and sleep, and there will be no chance to stop for people to take a bath.

"Cheng Xiao, let's go together." An Yun also prepared the clothes, and other humans had already gone to wash them, but he saw Cheng Xiao strolling near the resting place and hadn't come back yet, so he waited for a while.

There is a rare water source in the oasis. The upstream supplies drinking water, and the downstream can simply scrub the body.

Cheng Xiao nodded, Lan had already taken Rin to prepare the ingredients, and there was not much dry food to bring, so when they could get food by hand, the aliens would not let go of any hunting opportunities.

There are also rules for the resting place, and the alien races naturally leave a small part to guard each other.

The water source is located in the south of the camps, not far away. After Cheng Xiao and An Yun walked there, many humans had already come to the water.

As for the shyness of men and women in broad daylight, what is that? In an era of starvation, who would care about these.

"Cheng Xiao, we have to be careful." An Yuan saw that there were many humans he didn't recognize. Although there might not be conflicts, it was always right to be careful.

When those strange humans found someone approaching, they all raised their eyes to look at Cheng Xiao and An Yun. Seeing that although they were not short in stature, they were not physically strong, so they let go of their guard.

Cheng Xiao nodded, took off his sticky top neatly, and first patted some water on his body with his hands. In the hot evening, taking a bath among men is really not something to enjoy.

"The water is very cold." An Yun quickly took off his clothes, stretched out his toes, and tested the water temperature. Immediately entering the water is not good for your health.

"...Wait a minute." Cheng Xiao squatted down, scooped up a handful of water with his hands out, but it was very clean, so clean...a bit too much.

Looking at the clear water in front of him, Cheng Xiao frowned slightly. The shore was indeed clear to the bottom, but there was a large shadow in the middle of the water, obviously the water level there was very deep.

And he suddenly and inexplicably felt an uncomfortable coolness.

Cheng Xiao straightened up, took a step back, and found that the discomfort was getting stronger. He tried to turn around to leave, but the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end for a moment. Was he being targeted?

Cheng Xiao turned around and took a closer look at the surroundings. The foreign race who was in charge of guarding was not far from the water source, but there was still a short distance away. If he made a sound at this time...

"Cheng Xiao, what's wrong with you?" An Yun asked with some doubts. He hadn't entered the water yet, but he found Cheng Xiao standing still.

"Some troubles." Cheng Xiao slowly raised his hand and touched the dagger at his waist. A certain line of sight seemed to follow his movements, and all of them gathered in an instant.
