After saying that, he turned and walked into the depths of the cave, leaving the unconscious Li Sisui lying at the cave entrance, unattended.
The night was as dark as ink, and a chilling wind blew in.
The extreme temperature difference between day and night at the mountaintop instantly gives one the feeling of winter transitioning into summer.
The faint light from the cave entrance added a touch of warmth to this lonely and cold night.
When Li Sisui woke up again, it was a week later.
The pain in my neck has eased slightly, but the swelling in my head has not subsided at all.
In this dazed state, he forced himself to get up, but before he could stand up straight, he bumped into the stone wall at the top with a "thud".
Another wave of dizziness washed over him, and he could only lie on the ground like a dying man, unable to move an inch.
After an unknown amount of time, the noisy conversation startled Li Sisui, who was half asleep.
But the person the two were talking about turned out to be Li Sisui himself.
"Of the clansmen recently rescued, four have already turned to dust before Your Majesty could even take a look, leaving only this person half-dead."
"His Majesty has been in seclusion for a long time and only recently emerged from seclusion, which is why he has put this matter on the agenda. Tomorrow, regardless of this person's physical condition, we must first go and meet His Majesty!"
"That's all we can do; we'll do our best and accept what fate has in store."
Li Sisui had just begun to understand the language and grasped the general idea. He was to meet someone here tomorrow, but he didn't know what the purpose of the meeting was.
Struggling to get up, the two people who were chatting saw Li Sisui get up and hurried over to help her sit up.
One of them reached out, a halo of light swirling around him, and began to examine Li Sixui's body. After a short while, he let out a long breath and said:
"Aside from still being weak, there is nothing seriously wrong. You need to eat as soon as possible to replenish your energy, but we cannot provide food at the moment. We will have to wait until you meet with His Majesty tomorrow to make a decision."
Li Sisui looked at the person in front of him with some confusion. He was clearly weak and needed food to replenish his body, so why did he have to wait until tomorrow?
You have to meet with someone first. Is that person in charge of food distribution?
However, Li Sisui also understood that, given his complete lack of knowledge about the current situation, the best option was to remain silent.
The two ignored Li Sisui's doubts and, seeing that Li Sisui was not seriously ill, got up and crawled out of the cave.
The person examining Li Sisui gave a look to another person to continue keeping a close watch on Li Sisui before turning and leaving.
Li Sisui leaned against the wall and began to look around at his surroundings.
Calling it a cave is clearly a stretch.
It can only accommodate one person lying flat, and cannot even stand up straight.
If you stand up straight, your head will hit the top of the cave. That's why Li Sisui got up in a daze earlier and was dizzy from the impact.
This cave is more like a capsule apartment in my previous world; you can only stretch your body by lying down or crouching.
However, it is much simpler than a capsule apartment. Apart from four walls, there is nothing else. It is more like a hole that was randomly dug in the wall, a realistic portrayal of a bare home.
Li Sisui looked at his tribesmen outside the cave who kept glancing inside with a wry smile. Every time he woke up, he received the same treatment, as if he had just escaped one wolf's den only to fall into another.
They had no idea where they were or whether they would be executed at any moment.
Lost in these aimless, random thoughts, Li Si leaned against the wall and unknowingly drifted into a deep sleep again.
Li Sisui's body was indeed extremely weak at this time. He had just woken up and had experienced a life-or-death test. Afterwards, he followed the Cloud Piercer and traveled over mountains and valleys without stopping.
Every day, my nerves are on edge, and I barely have time to breathe. After witnessing my beloved Cloud Piercer turn into a pile of minced meat.
I thought I would follow in the footsteps of the Cloud Piercer, but after waking up again, I found myself back in this place. Such a dramatic rise and fall would be hard for anyone to accept.
In unfamiliar surroundings, where there is no immediate threat to life, only sleep can relieve all worries and allow the tense nerves to relax.
As for what I'll face after I wake up, that's something for later; we'll talk about that when I'm awake.
Tomorrow is cruel, but what's even crueler is that you don't know if you'll have a tomorrow.
Li Sisui had a long and strange dream. In the dream, everything was pitch black and there was no direction.
Li Sisui, however, was running desperately, as if he were trying to avoid something.
Endless darkness pressed in from all directions, making it hard to breathe. An ancient, deep voice, tinged with impatience, kept repeating in Li Sisui's ear:
"Hide! Hide!"
The voice seemed like that of a deceased cloud-piercing messenger, or the dying words of an old man, lingering in Li Sisui's ears again and again.
Li Si ran with all his might, and time in his dream seemed to stretch out infinitely.
Although I was exhausted, my legs kept mechanically repeating the running motion, never stopping.
I don't know how much time passed, but suddenly the entire dark space began to shake violently.
Immediately afterward, Li Si awoke from his nightmare with a start, letting out a long breath. He struggled to lift his head and discovered that the clansman who had examined him the day before was shaking him and calling out:
"Wake up! Come with me to see His Majesty. Your body is extremely weak. If you continue to sleep, you may never wake up again!"
Li Sisui nodded weakly in response, as if he didn't even have the strength to say a word.
This was the first time Li Sisui had felt his body was so weak since his rebirth, as if he had returned to the moment of his death in the previous world.
Li Sisui tried to struggle to stand up, but his body went out of control and he fell headfirst again.
The two clansmen quickly helped Li Sisui up, supporting him on either side as they walked him out of the cave.
Li Sisui was powerless to resist, like a drowning person being rescued, letting the two men support him.
