On the first night they lived outside, they were lucky to find a small gap. The gap was not big, only five or six meters, and the width was also relatively narrow, less than one meter in some places, which was more suitable for spending the night here temporarily. They took out the picnic tent, started a fire inside the tent, and boiled a pot of thick meat soup, which warmed them up completely, and then took out the soft sleeping bags and spread out.
Of course, night duty is also necessary.
There are quite a few alien beasts nearby. It would be bad if one of them smelled them and came over.
At first, Xi Yuan said that Qin Fei would guard for three hours first, and then wake up Xi Yuan and he would guard the second half of the night, but Qin Fei flatly refused.
It was already quite tiring for Xi Yuan to rush on the road, and he was also carrying him on his back. Although Xi Yuan was not as heavy as Xi Yuan, he was not light either, as he still had a lot of muscles on his body. If he did not plan to rest much at night, even if it was not a burden for a short while, it would definitely be unbearable for a long time.
Qin Fei did not give Xi Yuan a chance to refuse. He suggested that after dinner, he would sleep for three hours and Xi Yuan would keep watch. Then, after Xi Yuan had finished sleeping for three hours, he would keep watch until dawn.
Doesn't this mean that the Lord can only sleep for three hours? How is that possible?
Of course, there was nothing to do when he was on Xi Yuan's back, so he could sleep for a long time.
Xi Yuan was not so lucky. He had to keep his eyes and ears open while rushing, and he needed to be alert all the time. There were many high-level alien beasts on this planet, and many of them came in groups. He was level eight, but he was alone and weak. If he encountered groups of high-level alien beasts or level nine alien beasts, he would be just a dish of food. What's more, there were not only alien beasts. Where there were alien beasts, there were often magical plants. There were countless magical plants that were highly aggressive but pretended to be harmless.
He is very energetic when he is on the road, and he must have a good rest at night.
Qin Fei is also a man. He can't treat himself as a useless waste. He can keep watch and help Xi Yuan reduce the burden. Why should he treat himself as a useless person who can do nothing?
…
Xi Yuan was silent for a while, looking at the male master with sparkling eyes, his heart was beating. Looking at the handsome face of the male master, he straightened his expression and told him that I am an adult male insect, not a waste, nor a cub, and I can contribute my strength to the next journey.
He could only nod and take a deep breath to suppress the urge in his heart to kiss the male master and pull him onto the bed.
"If you have any questions, tell me immediately."
"I know. I won't force myself. Don't worry." Qin Fei was helpless. Sometimes Xi Yuan was really too protective.
"Go to bed early. I'll call you when the time comes."
You called me? I was worried that you would let me sleep until dawn. Qin Fei took out his laptop and set the alarm.
Seeing this, Xi Yuan: "..."
Is he so dishonest? Nothing he says is empty talk.
Qin Fei closed his eyes, emptied his mind, and quickly fell asleep. He had to stay alert and not relax during the second half of the night.
Hearing the Lord's breathing become steady, Xi Yuan carefully checked the fire, extinguished the last spark, looked at the darkness outside and closed his eyes, making his hearing more sensitive. He could hear the rustling sounds of the exotic beasts and animals that were foraging and passing by at night.
During these three hours, except for a family of three rabbits that got in and ended up being used as spare food, everything else was very quiet. This gap is too small, and other than small animals like rabbits, nothing else can squeeze in.
When the time came, the computer in his hand vibrated slightly and Qin Fei woke up immediately.
He did not take off any of his clothes except his outer coat, which he put on now, and then he took his hood and left the tent.
"Xi Yuan, go to sleep. I'll keep watch."
"Okay, be careful."
It's okay for a female insect to go without sleep for a period of time occasionally, but not for a long time. After all, she is not made of iron. Now that she is working at full speed every day and spending a lot of energy, sleeping for a few hours can ensure that she is full of energy the next day.
He returned to the tent and lay in the place where Qin Fei had just slept, without changing a bit. He buried his head in the quilt, and all he could smell was the breath of the heroic lord. He closed his eyes, and soon his breathing became steady.
Qin Fei sat outside the tent, facing the entrance of the gap. It was pitch black outside, and occasionally he could see a light, which was the light from the eyes of animals going out to forage.
He spread his mental power around, not leaving out every inch of this small gap. He did not dare to extend his mental power too far outside. If a passing monster sensed it, it might curiously follow his mental power to find this place. They did not need such an accident now.
His mental power slowly penetrated into the surrounding stone walls. This side was all hard rock, and it was difficult for the mental power to penetrate deeply into this substance. He only penetrated two meters at most and then stopped. When he moved to the other side, he found a cave?
It looks like an ordinary stone wall from the outside, but behind the more than one-meter-thick rock is a hollow cave as thick as a bucket, with a hibernating snake inside.
The snake was relatively small here, only as thick as an adult's thigh, but its entire body was glowing blue, and it looked like a highly poisonous type.
As soon as he discovered there was a sleeping alien beast inside, Qin Fei immediately withdrew his mental power, for fear of accidentally waking up the alien beast. The aura it emitted was higher than his, so it should be a level six alien beast.
Do you want to wake up Xi Yuan?
Qin Fei thought about it and decided not to disturb Xi Yuan, as he had already fallen asleep. He had been rushing all day and had to pay attention to the situation on the road, and he also had to carry him on his back (covering his face). He noticed the tiredness on his face when he was preparing dinner.
He took the laser sword in his hand, ready to attack at any time, defending that direction. At the same time, he made his mental power threads thinner and more concealed, and explored the remaining stone walls. Fortunately, there was only the hibernating snake-shaped alien. He thought that this should be an alien. No, it should be the territorial consciousness of all creatures at work. Every alien has its territory, that is, its sphere of influence. Invasion means provocation.
This place is indeed the cave chosen by the alien beast for hibernation. It is hidden enough. No animals or alien beasts came to visit here all night, and the day dawned peaceful and calm.
Qin Fei took out a pot and cooked a pot of fish head soup. He took out a cigarette holder and placed it around to absorb the heat, smoke, and smell, so as not to attract other beasts. When he heard the noise outside, Xi Yuan packed up the things in the tent and walked out. Seeing that his master was already making breakfast, he first asked: "Nothing happened?"
He can't sleep too deeply in the wild. He will wake up if there is any movement. He didn't wake up last night, which means he is fine, but he will feel uneasy if he doesn't say a word.
As a result, what did the male master say? There was a level 6 alien beast hibernating less than two meters in front of the male master? ? ! ! !
