Seeing that Thanos still had a sad face, Gu Shi thought for a moment, took out a box of snacks from his space ring and stuffed it into his arms, "Don't worry, come and eat something. This is our specialty snack, it's delicious."
Gu Shi didn't know how to comfort him, so he simply stuffed some cake into his mouth for him to try. It is said that eating sweets can make people feel better and divert Thanos' attention at the same time.
When Salos starts to worry, Gu Shi's mood will also become worse. Although he doesn't have to worry about his teachers and friends worrying about him, Shufeng and Bradley are still in the town!
Especially Shufeng, I just hope Henry can help look after it after he returns.
Thanos sat up from the rock, opened the box, took out a snack and put it in his mouth, "Hmm, I've never tasted snacks with this texture, it's delicious.
But this kind of snack shouldn't last long, right? Why does your box look like it was just made? Is it because of the box?"
Gu Shi nodded. "Well, this box is specially made to extend the shelf life of food."
Gu Shi almost wanted to say shelf life, but then he thought that Thanos might not understand, so he changed it to lifespan.
Thanos picked up the box and looked it over. "I've heard that alchemists among you humans are quite arrogant. I never thought someone would actually spend the energy to make something like this."
Gu Shi was a little surprised, "There is actually such a rumor?
I'm not sure what most alchemists are like, but the few I know who do are pretty easy to get along with."
This kind of food storage box was actually invented by people who studied alchemy in school. After all, for the Xia people, food is the most important thing for people, so there will always be a few people who are willing to put effort into eating.
And this kind of box seems to be unexpectedly popular. It can not only be used to store food, but also to store things that need to be kept fresh.
In this world, there are actually quite a few things that have the same function as this food storage box, but among these things, the food storage box is the most economical one.
There were not many small cakes in the box, and Thanos finished them all in no time.
After returning the box to Gu Shi, he jumped off the rock and stretched. "It's almost time to rest. Let's keep going."
"good."
Gu Shi packed up his things, then removed the magic that maintained the space around them, allowing the sea water to wrap around them again.
"Let's go."
Only after Gu Shi pointed out the direction did Thanos start to move forward.
During the days when the two of them were working together, Gu Shi had been adjusting his direction according to the pointer. After doing this many times, Thanos realized something.
Thanos is not stupid. He realized from Gu Shi's every move that this human companion might be hiding a secret from him.
However, Thanos did not expose it. In this environment, the two of them were a natural community of interests, and after spending these days together, he did not think that Gu Shi would do anything harmful.
The two of them moved forward tacitly.
After a long time, the environment around the two people finally changed slightly.
Looking at the seaweed around him, Gu Shi said happily, "Thanos, look, the distribution of these seaweeds is becoming sparse!"
Thanos was also very happy. He responded, "Yes, that's great! This way we can leave this seaweed patch soon."
About three days later, Gu Shi and Thanos finally arrived at the edge of the seaweed as they wished.
Seeing the exit right in front of them, they did not rush in. After discussing it, they decided that Thanos would go out first to investigate the situation, just like before.
Gu Shi took two steps deeper into the seaweed, reminded Thanos to be careful, and then stayed quietly where he was.
On the other side, Thanos carefully left the seaweed. He first cautiously explored the surrounding environment. After confirming that there were no dangerous monsters, he took out a brighter pearl and waved it around.
Thanos waited for a while, but there was no movement around.
He turned back to the seaweed.
"How is it?" Seeing Thanos coming back, Gu Shi immediately went to greet him.
Thanos smiled. "It's safe. There are no living creatures besides us. I've explored this area, and it should be out of the big fish's territory."
Gu Shi breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. Let's go out. I'm going to have nightmares looking at these identical seaweeds every day."
Thanos clearly felt the same way as Gu Shi. He said with emotion, "Alas, everyone feels the same way. I never imagined that one day I would become completely disgusted with a plant."
Although Thanos had already explored the area, the two remained vigilant as they left the seaweed, moving slowly forward with weapons in hand.
Unfortunately, Gu Shi's magic lamp was broken during the journey, so the two of them now use the pearls provided by Thanos for lighting.
Gu Shi even specially made a net bag out of thread so that they could free their hands and hang the pearls on their wrists.
As Gu Shi moved forward, the scenery outside the seaweed gradually came into his sight.
The ground here is white, like a white sand beach washed by the sea, but it lacks a bit of vitality than the beach.
As if it had been specially cleaned, there were no marine plants here, and the few corals growing on the occasional exposed rocks all looked pale and dead.
Although the surrounding sea water is clear and transparent, there is no trace of any fish or shrimp in it, only endless silence.
Just as Thanos said just now, there were no living creatures in this place except the two of them. It was like a pale dead zone.
After walking a little further, Gu Shi looked at the many white bones vaguely exposed on the ground and couldn't help frowning.
"What's going on in this place?" Gu Shi almost stepped on a bone every few steps.
Thanos bent down and pulled a fish carcass out of the mud and sand. He gently removed one of the bones and held it in front of his eyes to examine it carefully.
"From what I can tell, these animals have been dead for a long time."
Gu Shi guessed: "Could it be the work of that big fish you saw earlier?"
Thanos shook his head, denying Gu Shi's guess, "It doesn't seem like it. If it was that big fish, it would have swallowed the food in one gulp. These bones couldn't possibly be preserved so completely.
Besides the animals, the plants also died. This situation doesn't seem to be caused by monsters."
