Chapter 201 The Secret Forest 3
"Xiao Hei, is this edible? It looks delicious." Xiao Guai's sudden words immediately broke the originally solemn atmosphere. Ruan Xi stroked Xiao Guai's head with a somewhat amused look, "You just want to eat it, right?"
"I know this snow mouse is delicious just by smelling it. Dad, let's roast it!" Xiaoguai is very obsessed with food. Once he gets interested, he can't let it go. He excitedly circles around Ruan Xi.
"They're edible, but one isn't enough. I'll go get a few more!" Xiao Hei simply flatters Xiao Guai without thinking. He does whatever Xiao Guai says and doesn't know how to refuse or resist. Seeing his loyal dog look, Ruan Xi and He Ziqian shook their heads helplessly.
"Let's go catch them together!" Xiaoguai was very excited about catching delicious food, but Xiaohei shook his head slightly when he heard it.
"No, one of us has to stay here." After saying that, he glanced at Ruan Xi and He Ziqian, and that look made the two of them feel intimidated.
I always feel that Xiao Hei underestimates them. They are not that weak!
"That's right, the two of us can handle the things here better!" Xiaoguai quickly agreed with Xiaohei's opinion. Then, he waved goodbye to Xiaohei and turned around to stick to Ruan Xi. "Dad, father, I will protect you! Don't worry, the monsters here can't beat Xiaohei and me!"
While Xiaoguai was bragging about himself, he also didn't forget to praise Xiaohei. After all, the two of them are the most powerful in the universe.
"What if it's the one who controls the Snow Rat? Can you beat him?" Ruan Xi didn't lack confidence in his son, he just wanted to tease Xiaoguai to prevent the little guy from being too self-righteous and too proud.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the little guy was silent for a while in a serious manner, pinching his chin with his little hand, thinking very seriously.
"We have to defeat the big monster hiding in the back to know the truth. However, the small monsters sent out by the big monster are no match for Xiao Hei and me!" Although Xiaoguai is cute and soft, he speaks in a domineering tone. Ruan Xi and He Ziqian couldn't help but marvel at it.
Xiaoguai is worthy of being the new god that the alien race wants to create, he is indeed full of courage!
"Let's just hope that the big monster never shows up. It would be so troublesome." The purpose of their trip was not to conquer the strange forest, but to cure the little black balls and to find a black hole that could allow them to leave the alien planet.
However, wishes are always full, while reality is often too skinny. Now they have stepped into the strange forest, the territory of the "big monster". The tentative attack has been in place, and its attitude has basically been made clear, and it is bound to make things difficult for them.
Trouble has already come to their doorstep, and all they can do is to deal with it as it comes.
"Don't worry, Daddy, Xiaoguai will definitely protect you!" Xiaoguai patted his chest loudly. After watching, Ruan Xi looked at He Ziqian and continued to pat his chest, giving the same sincere promise: "Xiaoguai will also protect Daddy!"
Ruan Xi and He Ziqian: "..." Although it was a bit embarrassing, their son was really so well-behaved and thoughtful!
The existence of Xiaoguai is a typical example of good things coming out of bad bamboo. Fortunately, their Xiaoguai was not harmed by foreigners.
"Well, Xiaoguai is great, you are worthy of being daddy's good son!" Ruan Xi held Xiaoguai's face and kissed him, praising him with confidence.
Anyway, his little darling is really amazing!
"Yeah! Dad, let me help you collect samples!" Xiaoguai was so happy to be praised that he jumped around to find work for himself. Although he jumped around like a naughty monkey, he was very efficient in doing things. There was no need to worry about the quality of the collected samples. It can be said that he was a typical rough but meticulous person.
Ruan Xi and He Ziqian let him make noise without worry and continued to do their own things. Half an hour later, Xiao Hei and a small group of little black balls came back with a dozen snow mice. Ruan Xi stopped what he was doing and prepared to make a fresh roasted snow mouse meal for everyone.
It was naturally not Ruan Xi's turn to deal with the snow rats. Before he could say anything, the little black balls had already done it. The meat that was finally served to Ruan Xi had even the bones removed. He only needed to change the knife and then put it on the fire to roast. They couldn't be more thoughtful.
Ruan Xi touched the head of the little black ball who had brought him meat and said gently, "Thank you, you have worked hard."
"No...thank you!" The little black ball stared at Ruan Xi with sparkling eyes. After a while, he actually uttered these two words, which made Ruan Xi very happy.
"You can speak now!"
Aside from Xiao Hei, the other little black balls had previously been unable to speak, seemingly due to their own strength. Could this also mean that the little black ball before him was the strongest of the group besides Xiao Hei? Or perhaps, were the other little black balls also able to speak like this?
Ruan Xi looked at the other little black balls expectantly, but unfortunately, he didn't get any more responses. Miracles are usually very rare.
"I like... you..." The little black ball tried hard to express his emotions. When Ruan Xi touched his head, he smiled so brightly that stars could be seen in his eyes.
"Thank you, I like you too, you are all great! I will definitely work hard to cure you." The progress of the little black dumplings made Ruan Xi more confident in curing them, because the little black dumplings themselves were also working hard to evolve!
Finally, Ruan Xi also gave this little black ball a name based on his preferences - Fengxue. He loves eating the meat of Fengxue mice!
The next day, Xiao Hei took his army of black balls out to explore the way. After determining the location of the cave where the black hole had appeared, he hurried back to meet up with Ruan Xi and the others.
"Have you found it?" Ruan Xi was extremely looking forward to the black hole that could allow them to return home. When he asked, his eyes were shining with anticipation.
"We found the cave, but there was a force field reaction near the cave where a black hole appeared. It is very likely that it was opened recently." It is more likely that the last time it was opened was when Ruan Xi and the others came here. However, for some reason, Ruan Xi and He Ziqian ended up in completely opposite places. The time interval was very short. Needless to say, everyone already knew the result.
Ruan Xi's heart sank when he heard this. His understanding of black holes was limited to time and space travel, and what he had heard from He Ziqian about the dangers of black holes. However, he could still easily judge from Xiao Hei's words that the situation was not good.
"Didn't they say that it's possible that it could open once a month? It hasn't even been a month since we arrived on this planet!" Although Ruan Xi's heart was pounding, he still maintained an optimistic appearance, and he didn't look forced at all.
In fact, Ruan Xi was so optimistic that he did not force himself to do so. He was just looking forward to it and hoped that his expectation would come true.
It’s a beautiful dream, everyone has the right to dream, and who knows when it might come true, so why should we be passive and lazy?
"Then don't worry about it, just go there!" Xiaoguai suddenly shouted crisply, and everyone couldn't help but shudder, but then they couldn't help but smile at each other.
Yes, worrying about this and that, but nothing has happened yet, right?
Only by trying can you know the result!
"Xiaoguai is right. No matter how much we analyze, it can't compare to seeing the scene once. Let's go, head for the cave!" Ruan Xi shouted and waved his fist as if to encourage himself. However, before he could retract his fist, He Ziqian reached out and grasped it. The familiar warmth made his heart calm down instantly. He subconsciously turned around and smiled at He Ziqian, saying, "Let's try our luck. I will definitely not lose!"
"Well, you have the best luck."
The team set off again. This time, they hardly stopped along the way. The time spent on eating and drinking water basically did not exceed ten minutes. They were in a very hurry on this journey.
Ruan Xi originally thought that at most they could reach the cave discovered by Xiao Hei in five days. Even Xiao Hei thought so. But the actual situation was that they had been walking in the strange forest for ten days and ten nights, but still had not reached the cave.
"Could he be lost?" Ruan Xi felt deeply resistant to the word "lost", but he had to say it. When he said it, his teeth felt a little sour and he felt very uncomfortable.
Getting lost is the worst thing!
"The route is correct. I passed by here when I was exploring the way. I also passed by every place I marked before." Xiao Hei was the most confused one, because he had explored the way himself before and remembered the route very clearly. There was no way he would make a mistake.
But the problem is that their current route is clearly correct, and he even found the marks he left along the way, but the time doesn't match at all.
The time Xiao Hei explored the way, it only took a few hours to go back and forth. Now their team is only walking one way, but it has taken them a full ten days. No one would believe that there are no ghosts here.
"Could it be that the big monster hiding behind us can lengthen or shorten the route at will?" Ruan Xi felt that if such a thing really happened, it would be too incredible. However, apart from the fact that they were unable to reach the finish line, they did not feel anything unusual.
"Space superposition!" He Ziqian, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said these words. For a moment, everyone fell silent.
Ruan Xi had never heard of this word before. He tilted his head subconsciously and asked, "What is that?" Oh my god, it sounded so high-end just by listening to it. It must not be high-tech that he could understand!
Then, He Ziqian seriously explained to Ruan Xi what spatial superposition is. Ruan Xi listened until his mouth was slightly open and he looked slightly dazed. Only then did he finally end this one-sided teaching.
He Ziqian helplessly lifted Ruan Xi's chin slightly, closed his mouth, and then rubbed his head.
There was no way around it. This student's talent was entirely in medicine; the rest depended on fate. Clearly, Ruan Xi had no affinity with high-tech knowledge like spatial superposition.
"Okay, let's not leave yet. Xiaoguai, you stay with dad and rest here. Xiaohei and I will go find the nodes of space superposition." Now that the clues have been found, there is no need to worry about the solution. He Ziqian felt a lot more relaxed than before.
"good."
Xiao Hei and He Ziqian reached a consensus and quickly turned around and walked back. Ruan Xi only had time to shout "Be careful" before he could no longer find them.
