Destiny Rekindled

Chapter 72: Has anyone been to the Creek Shelter?

The real world fell into widespread turmoil due to Erict's high-profile declaration, but this did not prevent every player in the dream world from going to bed on time.

With the idea of ​​not thinking about it if you can't figure it out, Qin Chuan went to bed early. When he regained consciousness again, he was already in the valley shelter.

When he turned around, Qin Chuan saw Yue Li with a smile on her face.

After a slight hesitation, he took the initiative to ask, "Have you watched the video of Eric's press conference?"

"I saw it." Yue Li's expression was quite relaxed. "But you don't have to be too nervous. He should be bluffing. Whether he is the owner of the life-saving or sundial talent, he is fake."

"Yeah." There was a hint of complexity in Qin Chuan's eyes as he looked at Yue Li.

He was certain of this because he was the possessor of the gift of the sundial.

The fact that Yue Li's tone was so confident meant that his previous guess was correct.

Guessing it is one thing, getting it verified is another.

"Come to think of it, your talent is very similar to the life-praying talent speculated on the Internet." Qin Chuan pretended to say jokingly, "So you must be careful not to reveal the effect of your talent, otherwise others may mistake you for a life-praying talent and target you."

"My talent is far inferior to Qiming's. It's just a purple talent." Yue Li glanced at Qin Chuan and suddenly smiled, "But don't worry, I will pay attention."

"That's good." Qin Chuan stopped talking about talent and picked up the rattan whip backpack that he had packed before leaving the dream world last time. "It's time for us to set off."

"Yeah!" There was a similar backpack at Yue Li's feet. She picked it up and put it on her back. She took a last look at the traces of the two people's life in the shelter, and then followed Qin Chuan's footsteps.

Xiao Qing let out a cry and flew high into the sky to keep an eye on the situation nearby, while Shui Hua followed the two of them, wagging its big tail, and occasionally dashing into the bushes they passed by and bringing back some useful plants and fruits.

"This direction seems familiar?" Yue Li suddenly spoke after walking a few hundred meters.

"Well, this is the direction to the shelter I visited before." Qin Chuan smiled, "Since we don't have a destination, we might as well use the directions of the two shelters as the initial route."

Of course this is false.

I was just on my way to look for that elite Lv20 Blue Scaled Dragon and happened to pass by the stream shelter.

Before setting off, Qin Chuan confirmed the target's location again. It must be said that the blue-scaled dragon was quite powerful. Its current position was two or three kilometers away from the initial position.

However, the general direction remains unchanged.

"So that's how it is. That's a good idea." Yue Li nodded without any doubt.

Although they were carrying a backpack, the fruit that could restore their physical strength was not valuable, but it was easy to find it with Shuihua's ability. When they were tired, they replenished their physical strength in time, and while talking and laughing, they soon arrived near the shelter by the stream.

After filling two water bags with stream water, Yue Li squatted by the stream, scooped up the clear stream water with both hands and drank it all in one gulp. Then she looked towards the shelter not far away, "Should we go to your old shelter?"

Qin Chuan had no such plan at first, but after hearing Yue Li's suggestion, he was somewhat tempted. He looked at the splashes of water as people walked along the stream and played happily in the water, and said, "Okay, let's go and take a look."

It was his first home in this world and it contained beautiful memories of him and Shuihua.

"Splash, go!"

Hearing Qin Chuan's call, Shuihua responded and followed excitedly, wagging its big tail.

Qin Chuan hadn't been here for about a week, and he thought the shelter by the stream would be a little dirty, but when he entered, he didn't expect it to be cleaner than expected.

"Huh? What is this?" Yue Li, who entered the shelter with them, quickly discovered something piled in the corner. It was a small pile of nuts and fruits.

"Hmm?" Qin Chuan raised his eyebrows.

He remembered that when he left, he should take away all the food here.

Moreover, some of those nuts were difficult to pick, so he never picked them.

After I left, did other players come here?
Thinking of this possibility, Qin Chuan showed a look of doubt on his face. "Should we wait here and see?" Yue Li seemed to have the same idea as Qin Chuan, and her expression could not help but tense up at this moment.

Will it be a new player?
But Shuihua, after looking at the pile of food, couldn't help but come closer to sniff it, and then his eyes became a little strange.

This smell...

"Wow—"

"Squeak-"

At this moment, Xiaoqing's cry and another sound of fear and anger were suddenly heard outside the house.

The two people and one animal in the shelter heard the noise and hurried out.

Seeing the situation outside, Qin Chuan and Yue Li both showed surprise on their faces, while Shuihua had an expression of "as expected".

Over the open space outside the shelter, Xiaoqing flapped its wings and locked its gaze on the flame-tailed squirrel below with a hint of warning in its eyes.

The flame-tailed squirrel seemed very angry, and its tail, which was filled with flames, was a little more swollen than usual. Although it was not as powerful as Xiaoqing, it was not afraid at all.

"Xiaoqing, it's not an enemy!"

Qin Chuan shouted and then walked towards the flame-tailed squirrel.

When he saw the nut in the flame-tailed squirrel's arms, he understood the real situation.

After I left, the one living here was not other players, but this little guy.

"Flame-tailed Squirrel, have you been living here all this time?"

The flame-tailed squirrel nodded, looked at the nuts in his arms, hesitated for a moment, and took out two with a distressed expression and handed them to Qin Chuan.

"Squeak~"

Humans, it's rent!
Qin Chuan couldn't help laughing at the cute little appearance. "Okay, I won't charge you rent. If you like, just continue to live here."

"We just happened to come here, and next we are going to leave here and go to a very far place."

Hearing this, the flame-tailed squirrel paused in its action of taking back the nut, took out half of it without hesitation, and handed it to Qin Chuan.

"Squeak~"

This is a farewell gift!

"What a cute little squirrel~" Yue Li came close to Qin Chuan without knowing when, looking at the flame-tailed squirrel with shining eyes. The cute look that even Qin Chuan thought melted her heart instantly, "Can I touch you?"

The flame-tailed squirrel glanced at Xiaoqing hovering in the air, but did not feel disgusted with Yueli. Instead, it felt that this human was very friendly. It took the initiative to step forward and rubbed Yueli's palm.

The touch of the soft fur made Yue Li's eyes narrow in joy.

"You seem to know this flame-tailed squirrel?" Yue Li looked at Qin Chuan curiously.

The last time she came here, she didn't see this little guy.

"Well, when I was choosing a site here to build a shelter..." Qin Chuan briefly talked about his fate with the flame-tailed squirrel.

After listening to this, Yue Li looked thoughtful.

She petted the flame-tailed squirrel and spoke softly.

"How about we take it with us?"
