My body was getting weaker and weaker, and I no longer had any sense of time. I didn't know how long I slept, but she woke me up with food.

After I woke up, I regained a little consciousness. However, it was difficult to be interested in such a dry thing. Just smelling it made my stomach churn. I really don't know how I swallowed it before.

"Why don't you eat? Your body is so weak. If you don't eat enough, you may be in trouble."

"If you feel uncomfortable somewhere, tell me and I will think of a solution. You...speak!"

I didn't want to pay attention to her, and she didn't respond no matter what I asked. After a long time, she got up and left, and didn't come back until a while later.

Almost at the same time, I smelled a strong smell of blood. At that moment, my heartbeat accelerated a lot, and boundless fear overwhelmed my heart.

Human beings are closely related to blood chaos, and the sudden bloodshed in the crowd was like a nightmare on my head.

"We're about to leave, please hold me tight." She came over and said only one sentence, her tone much lower than before.

The team marched again, at a much slower pace than the previous day, but the smell of blood wafting towards me lingered for a long time. I instantly knew where the blood came from, but I didn’t understand the reason, just like the one she suffered before.

Just like that slap.

I can ask her, and now I can speak a few words normally, which can also solve a doubt in my mind, but I can't take that step no matter what.

I leaned against her and put my head on her shoulder, and then I clearly felt her pause. At this time, she and I almost fell down.

After the near miss, she turned her head and rubbed my head with her face, and said again: "Hold on."

…

I have been calculating that if their destination is the ancient city, they will definitely have to pass through that sandy area, and perhaps that is my only chance to escape.

After all, after spending so much time there, I have a partial understanding of the habits of the sandstorm. However, my mother has always said that human beings are extremely cunning, and they may know that, so it is best for me to leave during the chaos period of the sandstorm, so that there will be no rules.

It can be found, but it is not easy to survive in that environment. I must return to normal state in order to gain a chance of survival.

I don't know how long later, the day's trip ended again. Just like the previous day, she left, then appeared, and then handed the ring to my hand after some hesitation.

"This is the only food I can get. I know you're not used to it, so I'll just make do with it for now. When we get to the ancient city, I'll buy you something delicious. I guarantee it's a hundred times better than this."

I took the food, but still didn't take it down. It's not that I don't eat, it's just my nature. God made me eat meat, so I can't change it no matter what, this is what my mother said.

In an unknown forest, I said these words after I deliberately brought back a few fruits just to piss her off because I was too lazy to hunt.

I want to eat meat.

There are only a few simple words, but I can't say them out. If I don't leave, I will starve to death at any time.

I put the food in my arms and kept silent. I thought she would definitely let me eat it again, but it turned out to be unexpectedly quiet. She didn't say a word, she just hugged me tightly silently.

"I'm sorry, I really don't have anything else to eat. Go to sleep. You won't feel hungry when you sleep."

"tick"

What are these? Tears? She cried, but why?

Tears fell drop by drop, like stones hitting my face, and then fell into my heart. I could clearly feel the smell of blood contained in them. There were still blood stains that had not dried up after such a long time. It was definitely not an ordinary wound.

.

"You...don't cry."

I don't have any excuse to remain silent. At this moment, her embrace seems to be warmer than my mother. I can believe in this human being. I can believe it in many aspects. This is what I really think.

I spoke, but she stopped talking and just hugged me harder. For a long time after that, I heard heavy sobs from time to time.

I whispered a few more words of persuasion on the way, but it still had no effect. I don’t know how long it took, but the sound of sobbing gradually disappeared, and the sound of even breathing reached my ears.

She fell asleep, but I couldn't sleep for a long time. I began to be curious about this human being. She was different from other human beings. She no longer had the stench that made beasts hate it. Instead, it gave me the illusion of wanting to get closer. The last one made me want to get closer.

It is the mother who feels this way.

I don’t know where that idiot went. If she was still here, I would definitely not have come to this field. But it’s my own fault. There is no food in this area. I will only follow my own temper and be embarrassed.

My mother also harmed herself.

I can only think like this, everything I’m going through now is something I should bear, and it’s not all bad. At least they didn’t say they wanted to kill me, and I also met a good human being. With this idea, I finally got it.

Go to sleep.

When I woke up the next day, the team was already marching. I guessed this. They went to bed too late yesterday and were bound to get up late. Naturally, they couldn't waste time because of a strange "person".

"You're awake."

I was thinking about whether I should talk to her, but she might not be able to hear me if I did. After some hesitation, I finally decided to respond and said, "I was expecting you to leave me there, but I was disappointed."

I didn't expect her to answer. My voice was very low. After I said it, all I heard was just rumors. But the result was unexpected. She immediately said: "There is nothing in the wilderness. Put you here."

I will not leave you unless there is a dead end."

She paused and then said: "Besides, it's the young lady who wants to save your life."

That so-called young lady, I haven't even heard her voice. It's a joke to say she saved me, and I don't need anyone to save me. It was clearly me who was kidnapped by this group of humans.

I was too lazy to argue with her about this, so I leaned my head to the side and felt the wind blowing in my face, which also aroused doubts in my heart.

I deliberately lowered my voice again, "My voice was so low and noisy. How did you know what I was talking about? Also, when I woke up just now, there was no sound or movement. Did you?

How do you know?"

"The ability to gather knowledge, I can see the road even with my eyes closed. If you don't believe me, seeing so fast doesn't affect you at all. You...oh, I forgot that you can't see. Anyway, I know every move you make."

Although I can't see it, this is all temporary. Why does it feel like her tone is so pitiful.

I know very little about spiritual practice, and my memory is fragmentary. I don’t know exactly what gathering consciousness refers to.

She seemed to realize that I still didn't know anything, so she said again: "Oh, it's the traveler."

Oh, this way I can understand that it is no surprise that a practitioner has any means.

However, doubts came again, "Since you are a traveler, why did you get slapped by that human before?"

"I once suffered inhuman torture, but it was the young lady who saved me. She didn't hesitate to keep me here. It's like a gift of reincarnation. A slap is nothing."

I don’t know how many animals I helped and saved along the way with my mother, but very few of them had this kind of consciousness.

"Walker...isn't he very powerful?" I asked intermittently, very hesitantly.

I have very little exposure to anything about spiritual practice, and my mother rarely told me about it. Now I finally have the opportunity to know, and of course I want to answer the doubts I have always had.

"It also depends on what stage it is. Gathering spirit, gathering consciousness, and gathering form shouldn't be considered very powerful. They are everywhere in our place. These are the most basic stages. I don't know what the higher stages are.

I haven’t made any progress in several years, and it’s still too early to start polymorphism, so what do I want to do with so many things?”

"Is that so? I understand what you mean. What you mean is that there are actually many kinds of practitioners?"

She was obviously a little shocked when she heard what I said. Although she was running at top speed, she still looked back at me.

"Of course! Walker and Taoist are just general terms. These are the most basic. How do you survive in the wilderness if you don't even know this?!"

In my mind, Walker has always been invincible, but now it seems to be just a misunderstanding. When did I have such an idea? I can’t remember clearly.

However, I am complacent in my heart. I have corrected a very important mistake, which is much more important than learning new unknowns. Wrong understanding will change everything invisibly, so this road is doomed to failure. Returning without success is considered a good thing.

Yes, in human territory, I am afraid that I don’t even know how I died.

"Let me ask you, how did you survive? Why are you lying alone in that place?"

"I'm not a bug like you."

"What?"

"fine…"

I actually said such words in front of humans. It's over now. Anyone who knows anything about us will probably be suspicious.

I wish I could bite these people to death immediately and escape quickly, but now I can only wait, wait for death or something.

She obviously paused, and then continued as if nothing happened: "There must be something, tell me quickly."

She should not be suspicious, otherwise she would not continue to ask this question, but she hesitated. Based on human habits, it is possible to hide even if she is aware of it.

Do I still want to answer her question? What if she is tricking me from the side? I don’t know much about human beings, so I accidentally exposed the secret. But if she really has suspicions, I won’t be convinced as soon as I remain silent.

This? Absolutely not.

I thought about it for a long time, changing the sentence again and again in my mind, and finally said it in a low voice: "Actually, I am not alone. My mother is also here. It's just that she went to find food. It's all your fault.

I’ll take it with me. She won’t be able to find me when she comes back, can you send me back?”

At this time, I didn't care about throwing my mother out, hoping to divert her attention.

She immediately shouted: "How can you blame me? If you want to blame me, it's our young lady who asked me to save you."

"Then you send me back. If it doesn't work, just leave me here. Then I will go find my mother by myself."

"No, what if I leave you and the lady asks me for help? When we get to the ancient city, tell me your mother's name, and I'll ask the lady for help, okay?"

"Okay." I said casually.

I had made up my mind to escape in the sandy area no matter what, since I couldn't reach the ancient city anyway, so I just agreed to her now, and maybe I could dispel some of her worries.
