12. Chapter 12 The True Face of a Teenager
Su Ruo sat cross-legged on the grass and waited for dawn.
Han Xinghai put some firewood on the bonfire, and the flames soared into the air for several feet, illuminating dozens of meters in a radius, making the beasts peeping nearby dare not approach, and could only make a low roar from afar.
It was a tormented night, and time became particularly long.
Su Ruo wanted to sleep for a while, but she couldn't sleep because she was sore all over. The only thing she could do was to pretend to sleep and then secretly observe the barbarians to kill time.
Han Xinghai was not sleeping. In addition to adding firewood to the bonfire, he would get up from time to time to take a look at the long whip dragon covered in his head.
If it weren't for the long-whip dragon squirting occasionally, Su Ruo would have thought the long-whip dragon was dead.
Thinking of the Long Whip Dragon, Su Ruo couldn't help but smile bitterly. She didn't expect the Long Whip Dragon to be so powerful that it could twist the exoskeleton mecha.
Just as Su Ruo was thinking about it, suddenly, Han Xinghai stood up, but she did not walk towards the long whip dragon, but walked towards the swamp not far away.
What is he going to do?
Su Ruo opened her eyes and stared at Han Xinghai's back. She saw Han Xinghai searching for something by the swamp, bent down constantly, as if pulling up the grass on the ground.
Soon, Han Xinghai came back, and then he started to tinker around the bonfire. There was a special smell in the air, with a clear fragrance of plants, slightly pungent.
"Su..."
"What are you doing?!" Su Ruo opened his eyes and stared at Han Xinghai coldly.
"These... are herbs that can reduce swelling and remove blood stasis..." Han Xinghai held a leaf in both hands, and a pile of dark green sticky paste was placed on the leaves.
"No." Looking at the sticky thing, Su Ruo was disgusting and wanted to vomit.
“…Okay, I’ll use it myself.”
Han Xinghai couldn't please him, so he had to put the leaves on the ground, dig a piece of paste and apply it on his swollen face.
Su Ruo turned around with disgust, because she forced an arranged marriage, which led to her rebellious mentality and was disgusted with Han Xinghai's behavior.
Looking at Su Ruo's back, a trace of anger on Han Xinghai's face disappeared.
Han Xinghai didn't know why Su Ruo hated him so much. He tried his best to please her. After all, this was related to whether he could survive. But judging from the current results, his pleasing was meaningless and backfired.
Han Xinghai decided to give up this counterproductive plea.
The two of them had their own thoughts and had nothing to say all night.
The golden light of the stars scattered on the devil's forest, making the originally quiet forest full of vitality. Birds with bright feathers shuttled through the forest, chirping and lively. Many birds hovered over the swamp for food. In the mud and water in the swamp area, huge waves would be set off from time to time, and a beast would sneak out to attack the herbivores drinking water on the shore.
This is a vibrant forest, and it is also a forest full of crises and hidden murderous intent.
Although Su Ruo could not fall asleep, she was in a state of confusion. She was awakened by Han Xinghai. When she opened her eyes, she saw Han Xinghai holding a long stick in his hand, gently slashing the long stick around the swamp to drive something. As the stick moved, you could see the surging underwater, and a huge lurking underwater was driven away.
After driving away some unknown animals, Han Xinghai began to squat by the water to wash his face.
This is a very clean barbarian!
Looking at Han Xinghai who was washing carefully, Su Ruo had a slightly better impression of him. Of course, this good impression was just that the other party paid attention to personal hygiene.
"Do you want to wash?" Han Xinghai stood up and turned to look at Su Ruo.
"I..." Su Ruo looked up and looked at Han Xinghai with a petrified face.
Is this a barbarian?
Flowing long hair.
Starry eyes and sword eyebrows.
The cheeks with obvious and resolute contours, a mouthful of snow-white teeth, and a strong and slender body, the whole person exuded a wild breath, but there was a wise light in those bright eyes...
...
"Do you wash it?" Han Xinghai was inexplicably seen by Su Ruo.
"Ah... I'll wash..." Su Ruo realized that he had lost his composure and hurriedly lowered his head to Han Xinghai and squatted down to wash his face.
Why did he suddenly become handsome?
Su Ruo was puzzled. She remembered clearly that when she chose Han Xinghai, she was courteous and left the beautiful ones to Lan Xin. She first chose an ugly barbarian.
Su Ruo naturally didn't know that Han Xinghai was beaten up when he was caught from the bed at Eternal. After applying herbs last night, he returned to his original appearance.
Whether he is handsome or not has nothing to do with me. No matter how handsome he is, he is also an ignorant barbarian!
Su Ruo gritted her teeth and looked at the water surface that was already calm like a mirror. Then, she saw her embarrassed image.
"Go away!" Su Ruo saw Han Xinghai in the reflection looking at him, and immediately shouted in anger.
"There are star crocodiles here, I have to watch it for you." Han Xinghai said lightly.
“…”
Su Ruo hesitated for a moment and glared at Han Xinghai fiercely. At this moment, she felt that Han Xinghai seemed to be different, because his face was no longer as humble as before, but a calm and calmness.
Su Ruo felt that her mind was a little confused and lowered her head to clean the messy hair on her face. She didn't understand why Han Xinghai seemed to have become another person in one night.
The reason is very simple. First, the swelling on Han Xinghai's face has been cured; secondly, Han Xinghai is afraid that it will backfire, so he has decided not to please him, forming a strong personality contrast.
After washing up, the two decided to set off.
"What should I do if the long whip dragon?" Su Ruo frowned and looked at the motionless long whip dragon on the ground.
"What is going to die or live?"
“Is there any difference?”
“No difference.”
"Then you'll live."
"good."
Han Xinghai bent down and carefully checked the cloth bag tied to the head of the long whip dragon, and then used force with both arms to carry the long whip dragon weighing more than 200 kilograms on his shoulders.
"Let's go."
Su Ruo was not surprised by the amazing power that Han Xinghai showed, but was a little curious about the Long Whip Dragon not struggling at all. However, she didn't want to talk to Han Xinghai, so she naturally disdained to ask.
Perhaps because it was daytime, they returned without any danger and encountered some beasts, and seemed to be very afraid of Han Xinghai. After meeting them, they immediately escaped to the depths of the dense forest. Occasionally, there were unwilling beasts, and they just peeked around hesitantly.
Su Ruo can be confirmed by the beast's fear of Han Xinghai that the barbarians are at the top of the food chain in this forest.
During the few hours after leaving the Devil Forest, the two of them didn't say a word. During this period, Han Xinghai ate barbecue to satisfy their hunger. The hungry Su Ruo still refused the food provided by Han Xinghai...
...
After five hours of hard trek, when the two of them crossed a mountain, they finally saw the Eternal spacecraft. It was like a prehistoric beast lying on the ground, giving people a strong visual impact.
A dead horse ran across the mountain!
Although I saw the Eternal spacecraft, I still have at least two hours to board the ship.
Su Ruo was exhausted. She not only lost the power provided by the exoskeleton mecha, but the heavy exoskeleton mecha became a burden.
So far, Su Ruo has not eaten for more than twenty hours. The only way to supplement her nutrition is the wild fruits collected along the way, but there are very few fruit trees in the Devil Forest, and wild fruits cannot provide her with this high-intensity exercise energy.
What made Su Ruo vomit blood was that Han Xinghai, who was carrying the long whip dragon, walked vigorously from beginning to end, and her eyes turned black after walking for a while and she had to rest for a while.
Losing the power of the exoskeleton mecha, Su Ruo becomes extremely fragile.
"Hold on for a while, there is a tree of red currants in front of three hundred meters, which can quickly replenish your energy." Han Xinghai stopped and waited for Su Ruo, who was leaning against the trunk with a pale face. At this time, he already understood that Su Ruo would not eat his food.
The weak Su Ruo's eyes lit up, and he walked forward with the trunk along the way, stumbled.
Three hundred meters are very close, but for Su Ruo, three hundred meters has become a natural barrier. When she saw the fruitful fruit trees, her body was completely exhausted, and she collapsed on the ground after she became weak.
"Is it okay?" Han Xinghai didn't dare to get close, because every time she approached Su Ruo, she would show obvious hostility. He didn't want the sword to pierce his chest.
Fifty meters left!
Su Ruo did not answer Han Xinghai and struggled to walk towards the red currant tree. She had already seen a huge fruit tree growing in an open area in the woods. The fruits that looked like flames were almost hanging down to the ground. She could eat them as long as she persisted for another fifty meters.
"thump!"
Su Ruo could not hold on in the end and fell to the ground.
"Can I help you up?"
"Get out!"
Su Ruo stood up hard. She was famous for being stubborn on the Eternal spacecraft, but this time she couldn't stubbornly and took two steps and fell to the ground with a "thump".
Chapter completed!
