After a 500-year dream, returning from the cultivation world, he only wanted to treat those pitiable mutated beasts. Oh! And pet their fur... As a result, he became incredibly popular with all beas...
Crash, crash, crash...
There were waves of sound in his ears, and his body felt a little cold, as if it was completely wet. A small wet tongue had been licking his cheek gently, but the force was very weak. He opened his eyes with great effort, and the bright sun shone on his fair skin. He Mo closed his eyes again. The sunlight was so bright that it was blinding. The corners of his eyes were stimulated and sparkled. He tried to raise his arms, but he had no strength in his body, and even moving a finger was difficult.
Seeing that He Mo finally responded, the little golden lion excitedly let out a few joyful cries from its throat. It climbed onto He Mo's face, its innocent eyes full of attachment. It seemed that it was very tired. The little lion spread out its limbs, rested its head on He Mo's chest, and fell asleep in a short while.
The little guy had been trying to wake him up, and He Mo felt very warm in his heart. He didn't know how long he had been unconscious. The little guy must have been exhausted.
After lying there for a long time, He Mo tried to move his arms, but he still couldn't muster any strength. He Mo gave up trying and lay quietly on the beach. From the corner of his eye, he could see that the aircraft carrying him had fallen to the side. Most of it was destroyed, leaving only white and black wreckage.
It took He Mo most of the day to complete one cycle of the Star Art with great effort. By the time he was able to move again, the sun had already set and this strange planet was about to fall into darkness.
I held the sleeping little golden lion in my arms. There were some eggshell crumbs scattered around him. Fortunately, I had the eggshells with me, otherwise the little guy would have starved during the time he was unconscious.
He Mo sat in the aircraft. He didn't know what the situation was like on this planet. His body was still half-paralyzed. If he explored rashly, he might encounter a situation that he couldn't handle. Although the aircraft was damaged a lot, it could at least block the wind and rain. If there were any wild beasts coming out to look for food, it could also hold them off for a while.
My body is still numb now, and my practice of the Star Art is also quite slow. I really don’t know what Qiu Jing used to have such an effect.
Thinking of Qiu Jing, He Mo sighed secretly in his heart. He didn't expect that he would still be unsafe after entering the Fifth Legion. He just didn't expect that Qiu Jing, the only person who could be considered a friend, was actually a spy from another force. He hid very deeply and he didn't notice it at all. In addition to Qiu Jing, there should be other people who are spies hidden in the depths. Unfortunately, he is now on this strange planet and can't even use the optical computer. He can't notify Cangshan and Zhong Qing for the time being.
The planet slowly fell into darkness. From He Mo's perspective, he could see the endless ocean. As the sun set, bits of blue light rose on the horizon and then slowly dissipated into the air. It was a magical sight.
As night fell, the temperature of the planet gradually dropped. When the sea level was dotted with stars, the temperature had dropped below zero degrees. The little guy in his arms whimpered softly a few times, and his warm little body trembled a little. He Mo held the little lion in his arms and used his back to block the biting cold wind blowing from the sea.
The temperature inside the aircraft gradually rose, and the little lion stopped shaking. He Mo breathed a sigh of relief. The little guy was very strong when he grew up, but he was very fragile when he was a cub, especially since he had just hatched and suffered such a hardship. He was really afraid that the little guy would get sick. Now he could only do his best to make the little guy sleep more comfortably.
After a night of practice, rich star energy was attracted from the distant sky, nourishing the man and the beast in the aircraft, and He Mo's cold body gradually warmed up.
Far below the sea level, the water was dark and normal people could no longer see anything. A ferocious predator was staring at the creature swimming in front of it.
The predator was extremely fast and seemed to approach the prey casually. The next moment, its ferocious teeth full of sharp and tiny teeth suddenly opened wide, and a force of attraction formed around its mouth. All the nearby small fish, shrimps and plankton were sucked into the predator's mouth, except for the creature that the predator had set its sights on.
A hint of ferocity flashed in the predator's eyes, but before it could move again, a huge wave comparable to an underwater storm swept over the prey it had set its sights on. The predator retreated in fear, flicked its tail, and swam away for its life.
In the darkness, this unknown creature watched the predator flee frantically from afar. It stayed for a long time before turning around and preparing to leave. It did not swim away, but slowly and continuously floated up. Its light movements were like dancing. It danced freely in the sea, very leisurely.
At this time, above the sea level, surging energy was attracted down from the distant sky. The creature seemed to sense something, stopped dancing, and swung its tail vigorously.
In the sea, a white line was seen rushing up from the bottom at a speed several times faster than the speed at which the predator was escaping.
The creature soon reached the surface of the sea. The surging energy was even closer. The creature was intoxicated by this energy, and a hint of intelligence appeared in its eyes. Not enough! The creature decisively pursued the source of the energy, swimming frantically in the sea.
The sky gradually turned pale in the distance, and dawn was approaching.
He Mo opened his eyes and put the little golden lion in his pocket. The little guy slept soundly all night, without moving at all, and was very comfortable in his arms. The eggshells in his pocket had been eaten up. Today he had to find food for him and the little golden lion. After a night of training, the physical discomfort was basically gone, with only some soreness and weakness.
He Mo stopped practicing, and naturally the star energy disappeared. More than 30 kilometers away from the man and the beast, a fast-moving white line suddenly stopped. A creature floated above the sea level, puzzled as to how the energy disappeared in an instant. It circled irritably on the sea, trying hard to feel the last remaining traces, but it could not feel anything. The energy disappeared out of thin air. The creature looked up to the sky and let out a sharp, angry cry. Its tail slapped the sea surface, causing a huge wave, and then it dived into the seabed and disappeared.
This planet seemed particularly barren. Normally, there would be forests by the sea, but this place violated this rule. At a glance, there were only a few scattered tenacious weeds. He Mo's heart skipped a beat. Could this be an abandoned or undeveloped planet? If so, he and the little golden lion would not be able to return to the central planet in the short term.
He Mo quickened his pace and headed towards a higher place, feeling a bit of luck in his heart. As long as there was a little bit of human habitation, he could contact the outside world.
However, when He Mo carried the little golden lion to the highest point nearby, he could only see an endless barren plain without even a tree. The soil here had a fishy smell, which was completely different from the soil he usually saw. Even the most tenacious wild grass could only be seen scattered here and there, most of which grew in the cracks of rocks or in inconspicuous corners.
This is a bit troublesome. So far, he has not found any traces of human life on this planet. There is only soil and ocean, and no resources. It is too difficult for him to get in touch with the outside world.
Now he can only stay by the ocean, where he can get food and there is a flying vehicle to shelter him from the wind and rain. Even though He Mo has lived for so many years without desires or worries, he still can't help but want to curse. Did the damn God let him be reborn just to trap him here for the rest of his life?
The sun rose higher and higher. Although He Mo was in a bad mood, he had to take care of his stomach. He put the little golden lion in his pocket into the aircraft. He was going to catch fish. It would be bad if the little guy accidentally fell into the water. It was safer to stay in the aircraft.
There were basically no fish near the beach. He Mo rolled up his trouser legs, revealing his smooth calves, and slowly walked towards the sea. When he reached a certain distance, the sea water had completely covered his knees. The sea water here was also a bit unusual, with the same fishy smell as the soil. Fortunately, even if there were toxins in the fish in the sea, he could extract them. He Mo bent down, and energy overflowed from his fingertips.
After a while, a lot of fish swam over from afar, all attracted by the energy of the stars. They formed a large black mass. This was a shallow sea, and huge creatures could not swim in. The fish were only half a meter long at most. Taking advantage of the large number of fish, He Mo was quick to catch a big one from the sea.
The fish is long, thick and round. It is widest in the middle and tapers towards the back. Its tail fin is crescent-shaped and there is a row of small fins on its back. It has strong muscles and can swing with great force. He Mo held it tightly to prevent it from slipping away.
There were no conditions to make a fire now. Sea fish can usually be eaten raw and don't have many bones. He dragged the fish ashore in a few seconds. He Mo looked inside the aircraft. Usually, such small aircraft have secret compartments, and merchants will include a small tool kit in the secret compartments. He didn't know if this aircraft had one. If not, he would have to pry it open forcefully.
Fortunately, he was lucky this time. The secret compartment was not burned and the tool kit inside was still there. He Mo opened the tool kit and successfully found a fruit knife. He put the tool kit back into the secret compartment. He Mo picked up the soft and cute little golden lion who had just woken up, and it was time to start eating.
This big fish was very tenacious. When He Mo carried the little golden lion to the shore, it was still jumping there.
He Mo put the little guy on the beach. The seawater mud and soil here were very strange and contained unknown toxins. He had better use the power of the stars to temper the fish first, otherwise he would not dare to eat it.
He Mo dragged the big fish, and the power of the stars transferred from his fingertips to the body of the big fish. The fish seemed to be electrocuted and bounced wildly. A lot of dark substances seeped out of the fish skin, with a familiar and pungent fishy smell.
It seems that the soil and marine life here are contaminated by this black substance, which is why there is such a strong fishy smell. If there were no such substance, this place must have been a picturesque place.
It took quite a while to confirm that all the dark matter had come out of the big fish's body. Surprisingly, the fish did not look weak at all after jumping on the beach for so long, but instead looked more energetic.
He Mo knocked it unconscious with a knife, took out the orange-red fish meat and cut it into slices. The fish was firm and juicy and tasted quite good. The little golden lion had a small mouth, so He Mo cut the fish meat into tiny bits of minced meat before giving it a little. After observing for a while, He Mo felt relieved and continued to feed it because the little guy ate happily without any discomfort.
The man and the beast ate one third of the fish. He Mo was really hungry and his stomach had already started to act like an empty city. He dragged the fish to the side of the aircraft so that he could continue to eat it in the evening.
The sea in the distance was sparkling, azure with a hint of darkness. In a rocky corner not far from the beach, a creature emerged silently from the sea, staring intently at the man and beast in the aircraft.
