Chapter 419 The foodie male protagonist activates the mini heating base, which is a high-tech product from the interstellar era, highly efficient and virtually smokeless.
Soon, the water in the pot began to boil vigorously.
An extremely delicious aroma filled the entire cave with the steam, wafting out in wisps.
Zi Xi sat cross-legged by the pot, holding a small spoon, staring longingly at the bubbling chicken soup inside, occasionally swallowing her saliva.
She took out the prepared seasonings from her spatial storage and carefully sprinkled some in.
"It smells so good...it should be ready soon, right?"
Zi Xi muttered to herself expectantly, all her attention focused on the pot of fragrant chicken soup.
She was completely absorbed in the anticipation of the delicious food.
Unbeknownst to them, the figure in the pool outside the cave, which had been motionless like a floating corpse, subtly twitched its fingers after smelling the strange fragrance.
Meanwhile, the live stream signal, which had been blocked for a long time, seemed to be struggling to reposition itself.
Zi Xi was still sitting cross-legged in front of the pot, her hands supporting her chin, staring longingly into the pot.
She carefully skimmed off the foam with a spoon, sprinkled some chopped green onions on top, and took a deep breath.
"Perfect!"
Zi Xi picked up a small bowl, ready to scoop up the first comforting bite she had been longing for.
Just then, the very faint sound of water droplets falling to the ground rang out behind her.
"Tick-tock".
The sound was very soft, almost drowned out by the bubbling of the soup.
But in this quiet cave where she was all alone, it seemed exceptionally clear.
Zi Xi's body hair stood on end instantly.
She was so frightened that her heart felt as if it had been gripped tightly by an invisible hand and suddenly stopped beating.
Didn't she already check the inside of the cave?!
What kind of mutated beast could it be?!
Extreme fear left her mind blank, but her body reacted before her consciousness could process it.
She turned around abruptly, and at the same time, a kitchen knife appeared in her right hand.
But the sight that came into view made her gasp, her pupils contracted sharply, and she almost dropped the knife.
Less than three steps behind her stood a water ghost, silently!
Isn't that the person who was floating in the middle of the pool during the day, like a corpse?!
He was soaking wet, his tattered adventure clothes clinging to his body, outlining his lean and powerful physique.
Water dripped continuously from his short black hair, the droplets sliding down his sharply defined jawline and making a pattering sound as they hit the rocky ground.
His face was expressionless, and his deep eyes appeared unusually dark in the firelight as he quietly watched her and the pot of fragrant chicken soup behind her.
When did such a big guy like him get in?
How did you get in?
She was completely unaware!
Zi Xi knew very well that in this kind of place, a strange man who could silently break through her defenses and appear behind her was far more dangerous than any wild beast outside.
We can't wait for him to make the first move!
Zi Xi didn't give the other party any chance to speak or react. She gripped the kitchen knife tightly, exerted force with her feet, and slashed at the other party with a desperate and ruthless attitude.
She doesn't know any advanced fighting techniques; all her movements originate from the chaotic dreams in her mind.
