64: Chapter 64: Night in a Different Space_1 64: Chapter 64: Night in a Different Space_1 “Ao?”
Feeling Xiao Shuang gently patting his back, White Wolf stopped his running with a puzzled expression.
With a touch of apology, Xiao Shuang said to White Wolf
“Um…
I’m hungry, can we rest for a bit?”
“Ao woo~”
As White Wolf laid down, Xiao Shuang carefully slid off his back and rummaged through a small pouch, eventually pulling out a small bag of snacks.
White Wolf exhaled a hot blast of air disdainfully at the sight of Xiao Shuang pathetically munching on the small bag of snacks, and with a sweep of his paw, a neatly sliced piece of at fell out of thin air.
“Ao!”
White Wolf called out to Xiao Shuang, who looked over with confusion.
White Wolf jerked his head towards the at, and Xiao Shuang, carefully putting away the remaining snacks, approached the at and quietly asked White Wolf,
“What are you going to do?”
“Hu~”
White Wolf settled down with his massive head resting on the ground, and a fla burst from his slightly open mouth, swirling in front of him to form a small circle of fire much like a campfire.
Xiao Shuang glanced at the small fire, then at the at, seeming to understand and tentatively asked,
“Do you want to roast the at?”
White Wolf blinked as if to agree, and after a mont’s hesitation and a bit of helplessness, Xiao Shuang said,
“But I don’t have any tools or seasoning…”
“Hu~”
White Wolf shifted his position, lying sideways around the little fire, and began to roast the at with his paw held directly over the flas.
Xiao Shuang sat on the ground, watching White Wolf’s movents with interest, reaching into her little bag to grab the rest of the snacks but then sighed and withdrew her hand upon rembering sothing.
Seeing White Wolf getting sowhat bored while roasting the at, Xiao Shuang, as if recalling sothing amusing, stealthily took out her phone and snapped a few pictures of White Wolf roasting the at.
“It’s so late already…”
Realizing it was already past 8 p.m.
according to her phone, Xiao Shuang looked around and sighed.
After a while, White Wolf pushed the roasted at towards Xiao Shuang with his paw.
Xiao Shuang looked at the at hanging from White Wolf’s claw, hesitated for a mont, then uncertainly said,
“You an for to eat it?”
White Wolf glanced at Xiao Shuang and nodded.
Xiao Shuang, conflicted for a mont but urged by White Wolf’s impatient gaze, took the hot roasted at from his paw.
Seeing Xiao Shuang holding the at, White Wolf got up, scanned around, and then laid back down.
Xiao Shuang nibbled at the unseasoned roast at, finally easing her hungry stomach.
“Ao~~”
Noticing Xiao Shuang had finished the at, White Wolf, who had been resting with his eyes closed, stood up and howled.
With a slap of his left paw, a stream of crystal-clear water appeared out of nowhere in front of Xiao Shuang, coalescing into a sphere before spraying out a delicate stream of water.
Xiao Shuang washed her hands in the stream and said to White Wolf,
“Thank you~”
White Wolf proudly lifted his massive head, and the stream of water gradually disappeared.
Xiao Shuang, smiling, said,
“You and Feng Yuan have a lot in common~ both liking to make such proud gestures.”
“Hu~”
White Wolf glanced disdainfully at Xiao Shuang, lay down, and turned his head away.
Xiao Shuang, still smiling, adjusted her clothes and climbed back onto White Wolf’s back.
White Wolf carried Xiao Shuang and raced off again through the corridor, with Xiao Shuang from ti to ti caressing the soft white fur on his back, lost in thought.
“No use…
Looks like we won’t be able to find them today.”
With an expression of weariness, Feng Yuan said helplessly while Dreaming Dragon Baby, lying on his head, nodded in agreent.
After looking around, Feng Yuan walked to a pillar, embedded Sickle into it, and a dark, semi-transparent protective shield enveloped the area.
Leaning against the pillar, he sat down and said to Dreaming Dragon Baby,
“Is it okay for you to sleep on the ground?”
“Ao~”
Dreaming Dragon Baby floated down from Feng Yuan’s head, coiled up on the ground, looked at Feng Yuan, rubbed its eyes with its paw, yawned, and lay down, gradually falling asleep.
Feng Yuan took out his phone to check the ti, sighed, and through the protective shield, looked at the almost unchanging scenery around him and said with resignation,
“This alternate space is really not ordinarily large…
I hope we can find them tomorrow…”
As he spoke, Feng Yuan leaned against a pillar and slowly fell asleep.
At that mont, the surroundings fell completely silent except for the extrely faint humming from the energy flowing on Sickle, which was inserted in the ground, and the breathing sounds of Feng Yuan and Dreaming Dragon Baby.
Qi Chen felt increasingly tired as he walked, and had no choice but to take out his phone to check the ti and then said to Ah Mu,
“It’s already past eleven…
Should we keep going?”
“Beep…”
Seeing Ah Mu shake his head, Qi Chen sighed, looked around, walked to an empty spot, and after letting Ah Mu set up a large number of vines to form a barrier, he said to Ah Mu,
“Let’s take turns keeping watch tonight.
You rest first.”
“Beep…”
“It’s fine, I can still hold on.
You rest up quick, we’ll need you if anything happens~”
“Beep~”
Ah Mu gave Qi Chen a concerned glance and then reluctantly closed his eyes.
Qi Chen saw that Ah Mu was resting, gently stood up, walked to the front of the hemispherical barrier made of vines, and through the gaps between the vines sighed lightly and muttered to himself,
“I wonder how Xiao Shuang is doing right now…
Please don’t let anything happen…”
Taking out his phone, looking at the no signal sign and the ti, Qi Chen opened the family photo cherished on his phone, sighed, put away his phone, and blankly stared through the barrier into the pitch-black void outside, slowly sitting down lost in thought as he looked at the sleeping Ah Mu, in the quiet space only their breathing could be heard, which was particularly distinct on this tranquil night.
“Huff~”
White Wolf stopped running and exhaled a breath of hot air as it lay down, and Xiao Shuang rubbed her eyes in confusion, saying,
“What’s wrong?
Did sothing happen?”
White Wolf turned its head to signal Xiao Shuang to get down, and after Xiao Shuang slid off in confusion, she saw White Wolf stand up again, adjust its position, and lay down once more.
Seeing that White Wolf had fully lain down and was slowly closing its eyes, Xiao Shuang took out her phone to check the ti, then yawned and said,
“Is it that late already?
No wonder I’m so sleepy…
Well, if that’s the case, I’ll rest too.”
White Wolf slowly opened its eyes to look at Xiao Shuang and then closed them again.
Noticing White Wolf’s subtle movent, Xiao Shuang covered her mouth and giggled as she approached White Wolf, leaning gently against White Wolf’s soft belly and said,
“I’ll rely on you to sleep tonight~”
White Wolf did not respond, but softly bent its body towards Xiao Shuang, enclosing her within, and as Xiao Shuang leaned against White Wolf, she gradually fell asleep.
Hearing Xiao Shuang’s breathing beco steady, White Wolf quietly opened its eyes and looked around.
Its mouth opened slightly, revealing sharp teeth, and one by one, Rune Stones began to rise, each emitting a holy glow.
These Rune Stones ford a spherical Barrier that protected White Wolf and Xiao Shuang inside.
White Wolf blinked as the light inside the Barrier gradually disappeared, making the inside appear sowhat dark.
White Wolf then closed its eyes once again, and slowly fell into slumber.
“I’m resting now, do whatever you want!”
The youth looked back at the people behind him with so dissatisfaction.
A middle-aged man among them seed to want to say sothing, but the youth pointed his spear at him impatiently and said,
“Stop talking to about saving people!
I need to rest now!”
“You!”
Seeing the fierce look in the youth’s eyes, the middle-aged man hesitated for a mont, then huffed and turned away to sit down, away from the youth.
Watching how those people behaved, the youth simply drew a line with his spear on the ground and a wall of fire appeared between him and them.
The ring of fire enclosed him and the others inside.
The youth patted his backpack, lay down, rested his arm under his head, and said softly,
“Does this an I have to find a way to break through this alternate space tomorrow?”
“What about the others…
There were more than just a few people in that relic at the ti, right…”
“Just like this, we give up…”
With regrets and reluctance, the youth slowly fell asleep.
On the other side of the fire wall, the middle-aged man grumbled and discussed sothing with the others, with occasional agreents from others.
Two girls, overhearing their debate, couldn’t help but move away and hide to one side.
