The perilla fish was awakened by hunger.

Then he smelled the aroma of food coming from outside. He didn't know what was being cooked, but he smelled the scent of mushrooms and felt his stomach growling with hunger.

"You're awake."

"Have something to eat." The girl pushed the door open and walked in, placing a wooden bowl next to Su Ziyu's bed.

Although he didn't understand what the girl said, it didn't prevent him from understanding what she meant. Su Ziyu climbed up and took a sip from the bowl. He immediately felt a warm current flowing from his stomach to his whole body. He finally ate something that looked like human food. The food given by the snake people was the same as pig food. Although he didn't know what the food in front of him was made of, Su Ziyu tasted the taste of oatmeal, mushrooms and meat. This food must have been cooked for a long time. Anyway, it tasted very delicious. It might also be that he was too hungry. He finished a bowl in a short while. He gestured to the girl in front of him with an embarrassed look while holding the empty bowl. Soon, the other party brought another bowl over.

"Su." Su Ziyu pointed at himself.

"Lina." The girl said something that sounded like 'Lina'.

The two looked at each other awkwardly for a while. The language barrier was indeed quite troublesome. She quickly turned around and walked out. At the same time, Su Ziyu also heard the sound of the lock being locked.

"call."

"Finally I survived." Su Ziyu felt that he had lost a lot of weight. He touched his stomach and felt that the little belly was gone, and the six-pack abs appeared. He was in good spirits now, so he concentrated his mind on the strange golden hourglass. This thing should be his only hope to go home.

During the time when he was locked in the cage by the snake man, he could only concentrate on studying the golden hourglass in the consciousness space. It was a glass golden hourglass with oak-like brackets at both ends. The surface was golden brown and engraved with many graphics and symbols that he could not understand. It was very complicated and he would feel mentally tired after looking at it for a while. The most peculiar thing was the gravel inside. Su Ziyu had never seen glowing sand before, but these gravels would always have a layer of golden light emerging, and the light they emitted was full of dreamy colors.

Su Ziyu's research yielded almost no results, but he found that after entering the second world, he seemed to have mastered a somewhat extraordinary ability.

When he seized the knife and killed the alien leader, Su Ziyu felt as if time had slowed down at that moment, and everything around him seemed to have turned into a slow-motion movie, except for him. That was why he was faster than the snake leader, and he completed the process of seizing the knife and killing in almost an instant.

"If you want to go home, you can only count on it."

This golden hourglass seemed to have the ability to travel through time and space, but this ability was not under the control of Su Ziyu. Whenever the golden sand on it ran out, it would forcibly send him to another world, and the time he stayed in the next world seemed to be much longer.

"I don't know if this thing can record coordinates. It would be nice if it had the coordinates of the Earth on it."

Su Ziyu thought about it for a while and soon fell into a deep sleep.

When he woke up, he heard a series of ping-pong noises outside. There was a set of clean clothes beside the bed. The texture was a bit like linen. It was a bit cold to wear, so he put on his animal skin coat. The door was not locked today. When he walked out, he saw the girl named Lina practicing with someone. He didn't know much about swordsmanship, but the opponent looked very powerful. The two people practicing had very fast reaction speed. Su Ziyu couldn't even see the movements clearly, but they could parry and block the enemy's attacks, just like in the movies.

Lina seemed to have seen Su Ziyu as well. She stopped, picked up the wooden sword and threw it to him, then made an inviting gesture.

“I don’t know how to…”

Su Ziyu subconsciously reached out to catch the sword, and unexpectedly he actually caught it, but it also pulled the wound on his back, which was a little painful. He felt that he seemed to be much more agile than before, so he was a little eager to try, "Then I'll try."

He never learned swordsmanship properly, but he still knew how to swing the sword.

When he was young, he had fought with others and knew that strength and speed were the key to victory or defeat. Su Ziyu felt that his physical fitness seemed to have become stronger. Anyway, the injury on his back was not very painful, so he wanted to try whether his fighting ability had changed. The strange experience of traveling during this period told him that if he wanted to survive, he must improve his own strength. Even if it was just a little bit, it would increase his hope of survival.

clang.

The girl watched Su Ziyu's sword-holding posture with great interest. Although it didn't look very standard, it was still very handsome. She circled around Su Ziyu a few times, and when he couldn't hold back his attack, she gently blocked it, then slid forward, with the wooden sword already on Su Ziyu's neck.

"Fuck! Is he so powerful?" Su Ziyu didn't even see the other party's move. He just felt that the wooden sword was blocked and deviated from its position, and then the other party had already put the sword on his neck.

Was this killed instantly?

Unconvinced, he took a few steps back and swung his sword again, but he suddenly felt a pain in his wrist and couldn't even hold the wooden sword anymore, so it fell directly to the ground.

Is this girl so amazing?

Why do I feel like I have no ability to resist her? In a room not far away, a tall man named Ken was also observing Su Ziyu's actions. He watched for a while and shook his head and said, "He doesn't know how to fight at all. Tell my sister not to test him anymore."

Any man in the village is more powerful than him. After all, most people in this village are hunters.

Ken turned around and picked up a short black blade, frowning in thought. The young man next to him asked curiously, "Is there anything wrong with this knife?"

The handle was made of a black metal that had never been seen before, and there were strange snake patterns engraved on the surface of the handle. This type of weapon was very rare in the north. Ken had only seen similar swords when he was young and went out on adventures. Generally speaking, people who used this weapon had very fast speeds, and only some assassins would use such short blades as weapons.

clang.

Ken picked up the black short blade and chopped it against the long sword next to him, then handed it to the young man.

"This..." The young man showed a trace of surprise and desire on his face. After the two weapons clashed, the black short blade was almost intact, while the long sword had a big gap. If he used more force, the black short blade could probably cut the long sword directly. Ken's long sword was a standard weapon used by the army, and the quality was quite good, but it broke into pieces in front of the black short blade. This black short blade must be worth a lot of money.

"I've never seen this kind of black metal before." Ken frowned and said, "It looks a bit like the legendary black iron."

"Whatever."

"This outsider's identity is not simple!"

Su Ziyu's injuries recovered quickly, and he was almost fully recovered on the third day.

It was unknown whether his physique had changed in some way, or whether the medicine the girl had applied to him was very effective. However, the suffering he had experienced during this period of time had indeed made him feel that he had grown up a lot. Growing up in a peaceful era, he had not had so many opportunities to face life and death decisions in the past, but in the short ten days, he had already escaped death several times, and his entire person had undergone some earth-shaking changes.

He even learned swordsmanship, although it was only the most basic moves. In Lina's hands, he might not be able to last even five moves.

In the past two days, Ken and his friends no longer restricted Su Ziyu's activities, and he also met some other people in the village.

What do people of this era say?

They look completely different from what they do on TV. Even with makeup, you can't make their weather-beaten faces look like the pirates in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Most of the men have unshaven beards and smell of sweat. When they open their mouths, you can see a mouthful of yellow teeth. In the whole village, only Lina has teeth as white as Su Ziyu's. She is also the only one who takes a bath regularly, which is considered an alternative behavior in the village. However, the people living here are quite fierce, and hunters account for the majority. I don't know if it's Su Ziyu's illusion, he feels that this village is a bit weird.

Every day he would practice swordsmanship with Lina for a while, and most of the time he enjoyed the process of being abused.

The days are relatively peaceful.

The sand in the golden hourglass was also decreasing little by little. Su Ziyu made a rough calculation and estimated that in another six or seven days, the sand would be gone and he would be sent to the next world.

He wanted to take advantage of this time to improve his ability to survive.

It happened that many people had nothing to do in winter, and Lina didn't have to go out hunting, so she had time to teach him swordsmanship every day. It was a pity that the two of them didn't speak the same language, otherwise he might have learned it faster.

"Lina is teaching that outsider the White Crow Sword Technique."

"You don't care about this?" The young man's voice was filled with dissatisfaction.

Ken looked up at the young man in front of him, and while wiping his sword, he casually said, "That's her business. If you have any questions, go and talk to her yourself."

The young man's face turned red when he heard this. It was not that he didn't want to tell Lina, but he simply couldn't beat her.

He slammed the door and walked out with some dissatisfaction. Before leaving, he couldn't help but glance at Su Ziyu who was practicing with the girl, his eyes slightly gloomy. In this era, the population is sparse, and young people have very few choices for finding a spouse. Lina is the most beautiful girl in the village, and it is impossible to say that he has no thoughts. But now she is obviously very close to this outsider. Although this outsider is not very strong, he is handsome. Even many women in the village are not as good-looking as him. Lina's attitude towards this outsider makes people feel very uneasy.

Seeing that the girl's attitude towards outsiders was getting closer and closer, he now regretted very much that he had agreed to let her bring the person back to the village.
