That's not something that's hard to describe.
The strange man's head was a large, dark brown dragon beard candy, with countless fine whiskers neatly and regularly intertwined, forming a circle.
The strange man took off all his clothes, revealing his true form with a "duang"—a giant lump of dragon's beard candy.
It can maintain its human form entirely thanks to being covered by clothes.
Xia Chuhe instantly understood why the strange creature moved so slowly. Being forcibly molded into a form that didn't conform to its biological nature would affect even a strange thing.
Xia Chuhe stopped looking at it and instead used an iron hairpin to poke holes in the clothes. Then he pulled out a thread from the cut-off work clothes, threaded it through the holes, tied a knot, and patched up the tattered spacesuit, making it even looser and more baggy.
As Xia Chuhe chewed on the thread with her teeth, she thought to herself, "Last time I only had the tool shop owner make me a set of kitchen utensils. This time I need to remember to make a set of household utensils. I need several sets of needles of various sizes, and it would be best to get a sewing machine too..."
As I was thinking, I suddenly heard a child's timid question: "Would you like to be my mother?"
Xia Chuhe: "..."
She was certain that she only had tiny wounds from cactus thorns on her body, and absolutely none of the festering wounds like Du Zhen's.
Xia Chuhe stared at the dragon beard candy. "I sewed clothes for you, but you want to repay kindness with enmity."
If it weren't for Du Zhen's threat, "If you don't want to, then go die," Xia Chuhe might have easily agreed with a few words.
Xia Chuhe didn't dare to refuse it directly, and said solemnly, "Being someone's mother is an important matter, I'll think about it."
"It's alright, it's alright, it's very simple. Just make an opening in your body and let me in."
Xia Chuhe: "It's important."
Xia Chuhe quickly finished tidying up the clothes, tossed them to Longxusu, and fled in panic.
Because everyone planned and arranged for people to work together, each team had a prop, and they successfully achieved a peaceful night.
The fifth day in the instance, the seventh day for the gap-toothed man.
This time, the gap-toothed man changed his usual arrogant demeanor and took a good nap.
The plants in all three teams have sprouted, but Xia Chuhe's team is doing better, while Du Zhen's team is doing the worst.
Today is the day we're about to leave the instance. No matter how hard we try, we can't catch up with the seed maturing. The gap-toothed man has completely given up on the path of the competition.
The gap-toothed man pestered Xia Chuhe: "You've really screwed me over, my friend! How are we going to settle this score?"
"Since when has it become acceptable to blame others for your own inferior skills?" Flames rose from Xia Chuhe's hand, the threat clear.
The man with the gap-toothed tooth persisted: "Before I left, I gave you the flowerpot and other things, but you only gave me a tiny bit of supplies. I know you have time to work."
"You don't need to worry about what happens after you leave."
Xia Chuhe got annoyed and flicked a few small flames at the feet of the gap-toothed man.
Seeing that Xia Chuhe wouldn't budge despite his persuasive tactics, the man with the gap in teeth went to Du Zhen to make a deal, only to be met with a rebuff once again.
Although the gap-toothed man and his group were leaving, Xia Chuhe still needed to stay in the instance, so he still needed to get some items for self-defense today.
Xia Chuhe didn't go looking for the strange man again, but the strange man came to Xia Chuhe. He didn't say anything, but just lingered around Xia Chuhe, as if urging her to quickly agree to be his mother.
Wearing the clothes mended by Xia Chuhe, the strange man looked like a Teletubby in a little skirt, indescribably bizarre.
Xia Chuhe simply hid in the basement and took over the job of guarding the flower pots.
The strange man stayed above the basement and wouldn't come down.
The man with the gap-toothed tooth and the others stared at the time on their wristwatches, waiting for the time to pass.
Xia Chuhe had been watching their situation closely. She saw the gap-toothed man's face light up with a look of relief, and then... that look turned to astonishment.
"What's going on?" the man with the gap-toothed tooth asked.
His two henchmen shook their heads in unison, also wondering why they hadn't left the instance when the time came.
The water-evolved being comforted him: "Perhaps we misremembered the time, let's wait a little longer."
Time ticked by, and even as the sun began to set, they still hadn't escaped.
During this period, Ah Bao and Li Qiusheng each returned once.
At that moment, everyone in the basement realized that something was wrong.
The gap-toothed man's face gradually darkened, and pale yellow bodily fluids continued to flow down.
Xia Chuhe and Du Zhen quietly moved closer.
"It seems that this is a copy that does not follow the rules of the world. You guys are not crazy."
The man with the gap-toothed tooth raised his hand and made a fist.
The man with the gap-toothed tooth sat down cross-legged.
Xia Chuhe and Du Zhen were uncontrollably forced into the same position as the man with the gap-toothed man. Even though this position caused Du Zhen excruciating pain, she could not control her body.
The man with the gap-toothed tooth, Xia Chuhe, and Du Zhen said in unison, "You two, put everything in the brazier in our house."
Without his instructions, the two teammates of the man with the gap-toothed tooth had already started to move the soil in the flowerpots on their own.
As more soil was added to the flowerpot, the plant grew stronger and stronger, with its stems and leaves spreading out rapidly.
Wang Yan, Zhao Maomao, and Lao Qin, three simpletons, wanted to come in and talk to Xia Chuhe, but they were subdued as soon as they entered the basement.
Ah Bao almost fell victim to the same trick, but luckily she reacted quickly. Just as the gap-toothed man raised his hand, she jumped out of the basement.
The man with the gap-toothed man's teammates worked hard without complaint, and when they finally gathered the contents of the three flowerpots into one flowerpot, the seeds produced unripe fruit.
"What's wrong?" the man with the gap-toothed tooth asked.
"After all that was done, it still wasn't enough."
The water-evolver went out to take a look, then came back: "There's still one plot of land where the plants haven't been harvested."
"Go collect the mud." The gap-toothed man looked at the earth-type evolver. "Mud protects the nest."
"It might be too late, it's almost evening," said the water-type evolver.
"Go!" the gap-toothed man said without question.
After the water-evolved evolutionist left, the gap-toothed man said to the other man, "If there's no time, let's head out first."
There were other people feeding the plants in the basement, which would buy them some time. The gap-toothed man still had the prop fragments and wasn't worried about his life; he could leave by tomorrow at the latest. His only concerns now were the escaped leopard cat and the two women who hadn't shown up.
The man with the gap-toothed tooth was unaware that the soil behind him had shifted.
Li Qiusheng emerged from the ground as if by magic, pressing a dagger against the gap-toothed man's neck: "Let them go, or else..."
The man with the gap-toothed tooth raised his hand without any sign of nervousness.
Halfway up, Lu Dangui crawled out of the hole dug by Li Qiusheng, pressed down on the man's shoulder with one hand, twisted his arm with the other, and dislocated his arm with two "crack" sounds.
Following the two "clicks" was an even louder "click".
All those controlled by the man with the gap-toothed man had their arms hanging limply at their sides, just like his, and their faces showed expressions of pain.
Li Qiusheng's dagger pressed a wound into the gap-toothed man's neck, and a little of the completely congealed blood was brought out by the pale yellow corpse fluid. The others had the same wound on their necks.
The man with the gap-toothed grinned and said, "You've killed me, let's all wash together."
Lu Dangui took the dagger from Li Qiusheng and, expressionless, stabbed it into the gap-toothed man's abdomen.
