Author: A line of egrets ascending to the blue sky

The river water is not very fast.

Chen Mo stood on the shore, took off his clothes, put them in the storage space, looked at the river, which was about thirty meters wide, and plunged into the water with a pop.

After a while, he resurfaced and shouted happily.

Just like that, Chen Mo was playing in the river while scrubbing the sand and dust off his body. The fatigue of the past two days was immediately wiped away, and he felt particularly comfortable.

"Brother Stone?"

"Haha, it's really a smelly stone!"

Chen Mo heard the sound and looked towards the sound. It was Monkey and Nectar. After confirming Chen Mo's identity, they ran over and shouted.

It has been almost four months since Chen Mo left here.

Monkey still looked as skinny and dark as before. When he smiled, he showed his white teeth. He looked at Chen Mo with pride and contentment from the bottom of his heart.

"I thought you were dead."

Hua Nectar is still as beautiful as ever. Although she is wearing tattered animal skin clothes, she can't hide her graceful figure and pretty face. With her single-lidded eyes, she looks a little surprised when she looks at Chen Mo.

"Brother Shitou, have you passed the Starving Ghost trial of the Disaster Academy?"

Being disturbed by the two people, Chen Mo lost interest in continuing to play and bathe, so he slowly swam to the shore and got dressed.

Most of the natural disaster victims in the disaster world have very low gender concepts, and the three of them grew up together, so Nectar and Monkey have no intention of avoiding it, but Chen Mo is a little uncomfortable with it.

After finishing dressing up, Chen Mo came to the two of them.

"Well, I passed by luck."

Hearing Chen Mo's answer, the monkey immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said leisurely: "Even you can pass, so I feel relieved. My mother has always told me to be careful when I get to the academy and to go all out to pass the exam."

She also said that she was accumulating energy stones and asked me to hand them over to the instructor when the time was right after I arrived at the academy to try to get the instructor's attention, which made me worry for so long."

Then the monkey said to Hua Nectar: ​​"After arriving at the academy, I will protect you!"

Seeing this, Chen Mo didn't say much.

Compared to Shitou's sincere feelings for the two, or his emotional dependence on the two, Chen Mo had no feelings for the two, so he acted very coldly.

"nectar!"

Shouts came from the distance, and Huamini hurriedly waved and shouted: "Cousin, mother, Brother Shitou is back!"

After learning that the person calling in the distance was Hua Nectar's mother, Chen Mo recalled what happened to Shitou and couldn't help but resist instinctively.

According to memory.

After Shitou was abandoned by his mother, he was just instinctively afraid at first, and he didn't realize what it meant at the time.

It wasn't until he went to look for nectar to play, and was driven away by the nectar mother who once seemed kind and stern in front of the gate, followed by the monkeys' ridicule, that he truly felt hopeless and struggled to survive in isolation for a few days.

, ate the remaining food, made a wish to the Evil Eye God, and then fell asleep.

After that, it was Chen Mo’s time travel.

Compared to the silly Shitou, Chen Mo is a person with clear grievances and grudges.

As for the cousin Hua Mi mentioned, Chen Mo didn't know her. She should be the descendant of her mother's relative, right?

"Traveler?"

But then, as Huamie's mother and cousin approached, the cousin couldn't help showing a look of astonishment when she saw Chen Mo.

Chen Mo also didn't expect that he would meet an acquaintance in a place like this.

"Hanxue?"

This person is Chen Mo's classmate, Han Xue, who completed the Starving Ghost Trial together.

After experiencing the initial shock, Han Xue explained to Chen Mo: "These are my aunt and cousin. After the trial mission, Lei Wu said that he should digest the insights gained during the mission. He is a person with a strong sense of ritual.

We were asked to gather in a month, and I didn’t know anyone familiar at the gathering place, so I came over to have a look, why are you here?”

Is there a heavy sense of ritual?

Han Xue's description of Lei Wu was quite appropriate.

"My old home is right here."

"Traveler?"

Hearing this, Hua Mi looked at Han Xue in confusion and said, "He is a stone."

Noticing Han Xue's surprise and looking at him with a questioning look, Chen Mo explained lightly: "This is the name I gave myself. The stone is just the past. From now on, I am a traveler."

Although he didn't understand the reason, Han Xue knew that there must be something hidden in it and didn't ask further.

"So that's it, but since we met here, let's add a communication friend first and keep in touch in the future!"

"Um."

However, at this moment, a disharmonious scene appeared.

"Hanxue, stay away from people like this in the future. If you want to be an excellent natural disaster victim, you can't just socialize with everyone."

It was Hua Nie's mother who suddenly spoke, speaking like an elder, and forcibly stopped Han Xue's stupid behavior of wanting to add Chen Mo as a friend in his address book.

The mother of nectar, like nectar, is very beautiful.

In Shitou's memory, she originally had a very good impression of her. She used to take great care of Shitou before he was abandoned by his mother.

However, everything changed after Shitou was abandoned by his mother.

This once beautiful, gentle, and kind-hearted woman has become very mean. Just like at this moment, she looks down at herself with undisguised contempt in her eyes.

She spoke like an elder and made no secret of her disdain for stones.

"It's just an abandoned starving ghost. Even if you pass the trial by luck, it's just one more moth. We natural disaster victims must respect the strong and stay away from garbage. Otherwise, sooner or later, you will become like him.

of rubbish.”

"ah?"

Han Xue stood blankly, looking at Chen Mo and her aunt, feeling a little overwhelmed for a moment and not knowing what to do.

Chen Mo tried to find out the natural disaster level of Mother Nectar, but received a prompt of insufficient authority. He knew that this was a high-level natural disaster victim, so he could only endure the humiliation silently.

This kind of contempt is common for those affected by natural disasters, and Chen Mo had already experienced it deeply during his time in the academy.

"Nectar, Hanxue, monkey, let's go."

Hua Nectar's mother, holding Hua Nectar in hand, turned and left with Han Xue.

"Brother Shitou seems to have changed..."

Nectar whispered.

The monkey made a face at Chen Mo.

Han Xue turned around and looked at Chen Mo full of apology, and the four of them gradually drifted away.

Although Chen Mo was angry at being humiliated in person, he had been practicing with Xuanzong for more than half a year. At this moment, he was able to control his mentality and walked towards the stone skull room alone.

After a while.

Chen Mo returned to the room and closed the door.

At this moment, he had forgotten the unpleasantness just now and couldn't wait to pick up the Yuanyang bone. After observing it for a while, with Chen Mo's unremitting efforts, Chen Mo finally drilled a hole into the Yuanyang bone and placed it under Chen Mo's hand.

With eager anticipation, a little light golden viscous liquid flowed out.

This liquid actually exuded a faint fragrance, and the temperature in the room suddenly increased a bit.

"Yang marrow!"

The liquid flowed into Chen Mo's palm, and an indescribable warmth immediately followed his palm and entered the bottom of his heart, as if the coldness accumulated in his body last night was forced out, and he couldn't help but moan softly.

As there was more and more yang essence in his palm, he no longer delayed and applied it to his body, so that his body also turned pale gold and was wrapped in warmth.

After Chen Mo confirmed that the yang marrow in this Yuanyang bone had been completely wiped clean by himself, he hurriedly followed the method in "Tongzi Kung" to exercise and absorb it.

This process must be done with extreme caution.

After the yang marrow is exposed to the air, it will continue to evaporate. A little less absorption now means that it will take several more days, or even ten days of hard work in the future. Moreover, the yang yang bone can only promote boy's skill once.

Even if Chen Mo finds other Yuanyang bones in the future, it will not promote the boy's skill at all.

"Traveler!"

At the critical moment when Chen Mo was practicing, there was a knock on the door by Han Xue.

He couldn't help but be distracted by this, and said hurriedly: "I have something to do now!"

However, Han Xue outside the door thought that Chen Mo was still angry about what happened just now, so he took the initiative to open the door and said: "No matter how my aunt evaluates you, I... uh."

Although the concept of men and women in a disaster world is weak, the situation where an adult man and a widow are alone in a room is limited to extremely intimate relationships. As for a woman forcing her way into a naked man's room, it is a bit excessive in a disaster world.

Han Xue tried her best to appear less embarrassed and quietly closed the door.

After a while.
