This time he stayed in there for a long time. Everything was fine originally, but he didn't know when he became confused. Suddenly, he felt an extremely strong burning sensation in his hand. The severe pain made him wake up, and he found that he was only twenty meters away from the boulder.
After waking up this time, he waited until the burning sensation completely subsided before turning around and walking out. Unlike the previous two times, he did not run out in a panic while struggling in his mind. Instead, he walked out while staying sober the whole time.
The third time, he was no longer in a rush, but honestly advanced two meters at a time according to the plan. He only moved forward another two meters after making sure that the force would not cause any waves in his heart.
Until he had walked the entire distance and was facing the boulder.
After that, he lived in the cave.
As winter passed, his presence began to weaken, and he did not convey his emotions as frequently as in winter.
After thinking about it for a few days, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you?"
He just conveyed the feeling of being tired and wanting to fall asleep.
"Is that so... then I'm really the only one left here?" He said softly, "Can I go out? I might have someone important to see or something important to do."
He didn't show any emotion for a long time, and it was unclear whether he agreed or not.
What he didn't know was that after he said this, He fell into silence again...
Such a good opportunity...are you really not going to try to steal some power?
The orc sat on a rock beside the cave, still waiting for His answer.
After a long time, His emotions were revealed again.
It can give him strength.
The orc sat cross-legged on the stone, supporting his chin with his hand, and refused with a faint smile, "I will reach that level on my own, instead of directly... um... taking the power of others."
He looked toward the cave and continued, "That stone will also become a life. If I take away its power and it lacks something and cannot become a true life, then my sin will be great."
He disappeared again.
He did not appear until the next day, when the orcs simply packed up their things and prepared to try to leave again.
"He will never be a true being again. A part of his power has long been stolen."
This was the first time He conveyed such clear consciousness and such logical words.
It was as if he had matured a lot in an instant, no longer the ignorant and innocent person he was before.
"Ah?" The orc was stunned and asked, "Can't you take it back?"
He did not answer, but the orc felt an invisible energy surrounding him. He watched the scene in front of him changing in confusion, and then his eyes went black and he passed out.
In the forest, a young black panther orc dragged a large beast to reunite with his tribe. The leading tiger orc looked at him and said with a smile, "Xuan, you're amazing! You caught another large beast in just a short time. Our tribe won't starve this year."
The Black Panther Orc put down the beast in his mouth, then lay down with his eyes narrowed.
This was the last autumn hunt of the year. After catching enough food, everyone began to return to the tribe.
When the tribe appeared in the sight of the Black Panther Orc, he was slightly stunned.
It was clearly a very familiar tribe, but he felt that at his current age, the tribe should no longer be the same.
He tilted his head and thought for a long time until his tribesmen patted him and he came to his senses. Then he shook his head to throw those strange thoughts out of his head. This was his tribe, the tribe where he had lived for twenty-five years.
After arranging everything with Lan, Xuan subconsciously raised his foot and walked towards a remote direction of the tribe. After a while, he stopped and turned again. It took him more than 20 minutes to walk in the new direction before returning to his home.
When he was halfway through cleaning the house, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen his father since he came back.
Thinking of his father, his face suddenly turned pale as if he had suffered a great blow.
He stumbled and ran, following his memory, towards the place where his father might be. Passing through a grove of trees, he saw from afar a slightly thin orc sitting in front of a pile of stones.
His gaze shifted to the pile of stones, and tears began to flow almost uncontrollably.
Buried under the pile of stones was his father-in-law.
Yes, his uncle was killed by roaming orcs in the year he came of age.
Although seven years had passed, his expression at this moment was as if he had just learned for the first time that his uncle had died.
The orc sitting in front of the pile of stones heard the noise behind him, turned around and looked at him with no sadness or joy in his eyes. He looked much older than other orcs of the same age.
Xia just nodded at Xuan and said, "I'm back."
"Yeah." After a long time, Xuan just responded softly, as if he was afraid of disturbing anyone.
…
When Meng Yuqing opened his eyes again, the sky and the earth were already covered in white.
"It's snowing." he said to himself.
A transparent energy barrier was erected around him. He glanced into the energy space and found that it was not his energy that was consumed.
He sat up suddenly, and a small stone fell from his body and rolled twice, flashing a faint light. At the same time, the energy barrier that originally just circled Meng Yuqing also changed its position with the movement of the small stone.
Meng Yuqing reached out and grabbed the small, glowing stone, squeezing it. He called out uncertainly, "System?"
"It's me, it's me!" the system said immediately.
"Oh." Meng Yuqing uttered a soft "oh," then placed the system on his lap and took out a meat pie from the space warehouse and nibbled on it. "How long have I slept? Why am I so hungry?"
The system stayed obediently on Meng Yuqing's lap and replied, "Ten days."
! ?
"Ten days?" Meng Yuqing exclaimed, "So long? Where's Xuan?"
The system said, "He will be here soon." After a while, it spoke again, "Xuan, it's really miserable. Everyone is miserable."
It seemed as if it suddenly thought of something extremely sad. Meng Yuqing couldn't help but touch the system. He didn't know what Xuan had experienced during the time they were separated.
But judging by the performance of the system, it doesn't seem to be a very pleasant thing.
He asked the system, "What's wrong?"
"Host, do you still remember your dream?" asked the system.
Meng Yuqing's pupils trembled as she asked, "Is it the dream about the Colosseum?"
"Hmm." The system's voice was muffled. "Except for the time when He deduced everything, I didn't dare to watch it again. But Xuan wants to experience it again. Let's see if he will make the same choice as in the deduction."
