Indeed, it was as it seemed.
After more than an hour, Bei Xue rewrapped her chest cloth and walked out of the dimly lit room.
She sat by the stone table for a while, then continued to dissect the wolf carcass with an expressionless face.
Another quarter of an hour later, Lucas came out, leaning against the wall.
He took his time, then said in a low voice:
"I looked at the array book you brought back and set up a small purification array in the room to the east, which can turn the outside water into clean water."
"We... are not very short of water, you don't have to risk going to the city to find water sources."
The girl's hands paused for a moment.
With her seventh-order strength, her need for food and water was not very great.
She had frequently visited the nearby dead city before because there was a well-preserved water supply array there. In today's world, where the environment is gradually polluted with the breeding of wild beasts, the cave where they live is within a hundred miles, and only the water produced there is clean and non-toxic.
In order to let the young man with only the fifth order and the little girl with only the first order survive, Bei Xue had to take risks to enter the dead city to fetch water every once in a while.
By the way, she could also take a good bath there.
Now that the young man has become self-taught and studied a small purification array, it is an unexpected joy.
Said to be a waste, but it actually has some use.
After the wolf carcass was dissected, the separated meat was thrown into the stone pot, and after being cooked, half was given to Lucas and his sister, and the other half was quickly chewed and swallowed by Bei Xue.
Not long after the meal, Bei Xue waved and asked Lucas to lead the way.
This cave has four entrances, and the one close to the east is just a mountain gap covered by a waterfall. In today's world where there are no small aquatic wild beasts in the magic world, this gap, which can only be drilled by one person, is a safe place to fetch water.
However, the water is toxic.
In order to facilitate water fetching, Lucas's purification array is engraved next to the crack.
He dug a small pool with an area of about seven or eight square meters there, and the pool has already been filled with more than half of the water. Naturally, the purified water cannot be clearer than the water made by the high-order water-making array in the city, and it can even be said to be a bit turbid.
But at least it is no longer as green as the water outside, and the water quality has reached the standard of ordinary wild water sources before the disaster of the magic world.
"Not bad."
A rare compliment.
Bei Xue took off her clothes and walked into the pool.
Looking down from the crack, you can still see the huge pool under the waterfall, and the huge aquatic wild beasts in the dark green water.
These wild beasts are like a combination of snails and crocodiles, with strong limbs, green skin, and a huge brown snail shell on their backs.
"Come and wash together, comb my wings for me."
"Hmm."
Lucas took off his clothes, walked into the pool, and began to comb the feathers on Bei Xue's wings.
The two people who have lived together for the eleventh month have seen each other many times, and there is no longer any shame between the opposite sex.
Lucas knows that the reason why he and his sister have not become two skeletons on the desert is all due to Bei Xue's rescue and support, so no matter what Bei Xue asks, he will try his best to meet.
In the past three years, the world has been cold and warm. After the old servant Sofia died, Lucas knew how much effort it takes for a person who is willing to protect his life in the end of the world.
Although he is beaten and violated at any time.
But at this moment, he is still willing to comb her wings wholeheartedly and treat her as a treasure.
Bei Xue put her hands on the edge of the pool and said in a low voice:
"The spiritual energy between heaven and earth is getting less and less."
"First, the plants wither, the land is barren, and then the water source deteriorates..."
"No one knows when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth will be polluted, and this world will completely become a paradise for wild beasts, with no place for the devil race to stay."
Lucas did not answer.
Bei Xue didn't care, and continued to talk about her own thoughts.
"In fact, we all know that there are other worlds outside the magic world."
"The southern battlefield is connected to the world of the human race, and the northern abyss is connected to the world of the ghost race. There is another entrance to the upper world, which is now guarded by a snake, turning our world into a real prison."
"Staying here is just waiting to die in silence."
"Especially the wild beasts outside are constantly evolving. In the past few months, I have seen the average strength of that group of wild wolves continue to rise."
"From the beginning of the third and fourth order, to the fifth and sixth order... Today I squatted outside for a day, and it was close to dusk before I squatted three wild wolves that were alone, and the one with the lowest cultivation was the seventh order."
"Wild wolves are not weak in the wild beast group. When their strength reaches the point where I can't hunt, I can still find another edible wild beast. But who can guarantee that that wild beast won't improve as quickly as the wild wolf?"
"I only have the cultivation of the seventh order peak. Since the disaster, my cultivation has not improved at all, and my strength cannot keep up with the transformation speed of the wild beasts. We will sooner or later become real ants."
"Moreover, Lucas, I think that day will not be far away."
"It's better to end this pain earlier than waiting to be torn apart by wild beasts."
"Either we go to the city in the west and indulge once, and end our history with a fire, and turn into ashes with the afterglow of the past devil race."
"Or try to rush, and find a way to get into the passage to the upper world."
"What do you think?"
Lucas washed the mud and sand in Bei Xue's wings and nodded gently.
"I'll do whatever you say."
"Tsk, you really are, without any opinion."
"It's not like a man at all."
Bei Xue shook the water on her body, turned around, and her red eyes reflected Lucas's face.
Most of the blood demon clan men are extremely handsome after adulthood.
Although Lucas looks weak, long-term malnutrition has made him extremely thin, with gray skin, but from the facial features and bones, he does indeed have a handsome appearance.
If you can really leave this damn world and make up for nutrition, he will probably be able to recover into an elegant noble young master soon.
It's a pity that this handsome young master has been trampled by her, a lowly winged demon clan waste, for nearly a year. Even if the future is how brilliant, she is afraid that she will always be the dirt in his heart.
Bei Xue leaned on his chest and suddenly opened her mouth, biting his neck, leaving a deep blood mark there.
"What a waste, even the blood is stinky."
"Hurry back to sleep."
"Hmm."
With a splash, the girl climbed out of the pool with her hands and feet.
Her body is like a strong female leopard, full of wild tension, and her character is extremely fierce, beating him at any time.
But, her bare back at the moment seems a bit hunched.
This scene is not beautiful, and even seems a bit ridiculous.
Lucas looked down at the withered feathers in his hand and was silent for a long time.
All for...
To live on.
