After dinner, it was completely dark. Meng Yuqing yawned and felt sleepy. It was strange that he seemed to have become much sleepier.
He lay back on his bed of hay and watched Xuan finishing off the meat he hadn't eaten.
In fact, Xuan rarely eats with Meng Yuqing. If he is hungry, he will solve the problem by himself while hunting.
Then he brought back the processed meat for Meng Yuqing to roast, but Meng Yuqing's appetite was too small, so he was responsible for eating the remaining meat from Meng Yuqing every time.
In response to this, Meng Yuqing said that he has a normal appetite and you must be eating too much.
Slowly, Meng Yuqing's eyes began to lose focus, and he began to feel drowsy and soon fell asleep. Xuan glanced at the sub-beast lying on the hay and already asleep.
After cleaning up the cave and dimming the fire, he pulled some hay to cover Meng Yuqing, then walked out of the cave.
He found some grass, crushed it slowly, and smeared it all on the shadow beast's body. Then he walked back to the cave entrance, turned into a big black panther again, licked the wounds on his body, and then lay down.
The next day, when the first ray of sunlight fell on Xuan's face, Xuan opened his eyes. The big cat stretched, looked at Meng Yuqing who was still sleeping in the cave, wagged its tail, and walked towards the stream.
When Xuan came back with the meat and water in a large leaf, Meng Yuqing had already woken up. He was sitting at the entrance of the cave, yawning, his eyelids struggling to fight sleepiness.
This was the earliest he had woken up in the past few days. He had already informed the system to wake him up so that he wouldn't sleep until noon.
I have been feeling inexplicably sleepy these past few days. This is because I had just arrived in the other world and after meeting Xuan, Xuan immediately went out to hunt shadow beasts. I have been in a state of mental tension and had no time to pay attention to these things.
Now that I'm ready to go back to the tribe with Xuan, I feel a little more relaxed, only to realize that something is clearly wrong.
I have to find some time to ask the system if it knows what my situation is. However, the system has never mentioned this matter, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
After all, the system is tied to me, so it can't just watch me have health problems without warning me. I should go to the tribe first and discuss everything.
Meng Yuqing greeted Xuan with squinting eyes, forced himself to cheer up, and simply washed up with the water Xuan brought back.
After eating two fruits, Xuan had already prepared everything and was now waiting for Meng Yuqing next to the shadow beast.
"Get ready to go." Xuan patted the shadow beast and turned into a beast.
Compared to the first time they met, Xuan's body had more bumps and dents, but fortunately, after a day of repair yesterday, the wounds had healed a lot.
The places where the medicine was applied have begun to heal. Meng Yuqing once again marveled at the orcs' powerful recovery ability. If this happened to him, he would probably have died on the same day.
The small kettles and specially collected fruits had already been put into a woven bag by Xuan, and a lot of hay was put in the bag as a cushion. Meng Yuqing crawled in to try it out and felt it was pretty good.
Xuan carried the shadow beast on his back. Meng Yuqing came out to help Xuan secure the shadow beast, then returned to the woven bag.
Feeling the bag carrying him into the air, Meng Yuqing adjusted himself, opened the gap to take a look outside, and then said to Xuan.
"Let's go"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan jumped out. Meng Yuqing in the bag felt a shake, but it was much more comfortable than being held in the bag before.
Shortly after setting off, Meng Yuqing felt sleepiness rising again. He reached out and patted his face, forcing himself to wake up. This isn't normal! He hurriedly summoned the system.
"System, what's wrong with me? My sleepiness is abnormal."
"The host's body is adapting to this world."
"Ah? Then I won't have any extra functions." Meng Yuqing's sleepiness was immediately scared away.
"No, all the creatures in this world are much stronger physically than those in the host's original world. The system only helps the host to adapt and strengthen. The added functions are considered physical modifications, not the system's initial functions. They need to be unlocked through later upgrades."
"That's good, but we'll talk about the body transformation later. Don't do it on me secretly." Meng Yuqing breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the system's explanation, but still gave a reminder.
"Everything about the body modification will be approved by the host, please don't worry."
Hearing the system's affirmative response again, Meng Yuqing finally felt completely relieved. He changed into a comfortable position, and then he felt sleepy again, and his consciousness began to blur.
"System, how long will I last in this state?" Before falling asleep completely, I faintly heard the system's answer.
"One month."
...............
When I woke up again, Xuan had stopped. He stuck his head out of the bag and looked at the sky. It was already afternoon.
Xuan was sitting next to a fire that had been lit and was grilling meat. There were some small packages wrapped in leaves next to them. Meng Yuqing walked over and pointed at the small package and asked
"What's this?"
"When the time comes, you can put the roasted meat in your bag and eat it directly when you are hungry. I have never survived in the wild with a sub-beast before, so I have no experience. When I set out, I didn't think of preparing barbecue for you in advance. I thought you could just hunt when you were hungry. I forgot that you are different from us. You have to eat at regular times every day. Unlike us, we can eat in beast form for a day or two." Having said this, Xuan paused a little embarrassedly and continued.
“I want to get back as soon as possible.”
Meng Yuqing understood. Although hunting was not a troublesome thing for Xuan, if he took care of himself and hunted and grilled meat on a regular basis for two or three meals a day, the travel time would probably increase a lot.
By preparing food for one to two days at a time, he could actually coincide with Xuan's hunting schedule, effectively saving time. But how did Xuan manage to catch prey with him?
