My Supernatural Life of Leisure

As he walked forward, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead walked faster and faster.

Because he no longer had to climb over the sand dunes, he was now traveling very easily.

Because the climate on the edge of the desert is dry, many plants are relatively low.

When the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was traveling, he would occasionally observe some low bushes around him to prevent any strange beasts hiding in them from suddenly attacking him.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, a lot of green appeared in front.

It has been a long time since I saw so many green plants in this area, and it was surprising that they suddenly appeared now.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead walked for a few minutes, and the green plants in front appeared in large areas.

The ground was originally yellow sand, but now there are many wild grasses.

When the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stepped on the grass, he glanced ahead and saw green plants all over the ground.

"How come there is such a large area of ​​grassland in this place?"

"Is it because it rained before, or is there a lot of groundwater here?"

The captain of the pig-headed man with a brown birthmark on his forehead stopped for a moment, looking at the grassland that suddenly appeared in front of him and thinking.

He had been to this area before, but there was no such large area of ​​grassland here at that time.

Now there are so many wild grasses, and they are still growing vigorously, which means there is no shortage of water.

The wild grass growing on the edge of the desert is particularly tenacious. Under normal circumstances, if there is a particularly heavy rain, wild grass will grow on the lifeless sand after the heavy rain.

Until the wet land becomes dry again after a long time, without a drop of water, the growing wild grass will die.

Another possibility is that the underground river is diverted. After this invisible river is diverted, there will be a very abundant water source under the sand in an area, which can also make some areas full of vitality.

The reason why oases exist in the desert is that there are underground rivers under the sand in many cases, which is the root of the existence of oases.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at the large area of ​​beautiful green in front of him, thought for a while, and continued to move forward.

It is still several hours before the sun sets, and he can take advantage of this time to walk a little further.

Because the current area is full of weeds, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead does not feel particularly dry, and the frequency of drinking water is much lower than before.

If you spend the night in this place, it will be much more comfortable at night.

Unfortunately, it is still a long time before the sun sets, and the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead cannot stop and find a place to spend the night now.

…………

Time flies, and before you know it, the sun in the sky begins to change color.

The golden sun begins to turn red, reminding all things on the earth that it will disappear soon.

The temperature of the desert, which has been baked by the sun for a day, begins to drop.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was walking on the grass. He thought he would leave this area in an hour or two, but he was still in the grass area after walking for an afternoon.

The area of ​​this grassland is many times larger than the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead expected.

"It seems that I have to rest here tonight."

After walking for several hours in a row, he has consumed a lot of physical strength. It is time to stop and recover.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and then he turned his head to look in the direction of the setting sun.

After the sun on the horizon changed color, the speed of going down the mountain seemed to be accelerating.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead estimated that the speed of darkness now may be more than half an hour, and the sky will be completely dark.

In order to find a suitable resting place before dark, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead needs to find a place to spend the night as soon as possible.

"Chirp, chirp..."

A few gray birds appeared on the horizon, making a series of calls, and then flew towards the place where the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was about to find a place to rest. He saw the birds appearing in the distance, stared at them, and found that the birds flew to a forest in the distance.

This place has abundant water sources, and there are forests in many places.

Although the area of ​​these forests is not large, compared with other dry places, the area is already quite large.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead wanted to find a cave to settle down. There was no cave around, so he had to change his mind.

At this moment, he saw the birds flying towards the forest and decided to go over to see what the forest was like. If it was suitable, he would settle down in the forest tonight.

He walked forward quickly and encountered a bush with thorns.

The area of ​​the bush was about 600 to 700 square meters, so it was not difficult to pass directly.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead drew his weapon, cut down some bushes that were blocking the way, and moved forward, soon passing through the area where the bushes grew.

Not long after, he arrived at his destination. The forest in front of him was growing well. Birdsong rang in his ears. The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked over and soon found the birds he had just seen.

These birds were not big, only the size of a fist.

At this moment, they were jumping on the branches, watching the uninvited guests vigilantly.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead said with a smile, "Don't be so afraid of me, I'm just staying here for one night and will leave tomorrow."

No one chatted during the journey. The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was bored. Now that he had a chance to talk, he would say a few words to the other party even if the other party was a bird that couldn't understand human language.

"Chirp..."

The birds on the branches flapped their wings and flew away, flying a little further away. Looking at their appearance, they were obviously wary of the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead, and felt that it would be safer to stay away.

"You are so timid."

"But only in this way can you live long in this harsh environment."

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead said a few words to himself, then he retracted his gaze and entered the sparse woods.

It is very likely that the wind will blow at night, so it is better to find a place that is not easily affected by the wind to settle down.

After entering the woods, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead found a very suitable place to spend the night not far away.

A tall tree with lush branches and leaves, and its sturdy body requires several people holding hands to hug.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead came under the tree and felt the flow of the wind around him.

There are some trees around the big tree in front of him, but they are shorter. They form a windbreak wall, which can well block the sudden wind around.

"It's here."

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead took off his backpack and put it on the ground, and then he cleared some taller weeds around him.

Half of the sun disappeared from the horizon, and the light suddenly became much less and dim.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead cleaned up the place where he stayed overnight, and then began to collect dry wood around.

The grove was full of vitality, but some dead trees could also be seen.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead found it very convenient to find dry wood here, and soon he found a dead sapling.

He raised his hand and punched, and the sapling was instantly broken in half. Then he dragged the sapling back to the resting place and used his weapon to break it into pieces of wood in a few strokes.

The fuel was collected, and the next step was to light the bonfire.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead lit the bonfire with ease, and the heat wave came in his face, making people feel very warm.

The sun will disappear completely soon. Now the temperature drops very quickly, and people can already feel cold. With a bonfire for warmth, there is no need to worry about the temperature drop after the sun sets.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead got up and left again. This time he was going to find something to eat.

He had been eating dry food all day long, and he was tired of it. He was willing to spend some time to find fresh ingredients.

A special smell began to appear in the air after leaving the shelter for a distance.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead had rich experience in outdoor life. When he smelled the special smell in the air, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he walked towards the source of the fragrance at a faster speed.

About three or four minutes later, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead found the source of the fragrance in front of a crooked tree in the woods.

"I didn't expect to find kidney beans here."

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was full of surprises. The kidney beans in front of him were very large, and each one was at least the size of an egg.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead went forward to pick them. Soon, he picked enough kidney beans for him to eat for several meals.

At this moment, the sun in the sky was only a last ray of light, and the earth became dark.

And the forest where the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was located, many places became dark because the sun was about to disappear, and it was pitch black, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.

"That's enough."

"It will be completely dark in a while, and I should go back."

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead muttered twice, and then returned to the place where he spent the night with a bunch of kidney beans.

The swaying bonfire made a small area around very warm.

A figure appeared in front, and the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead came under the tree quickly with a bunch of kidney beans.

He put the picked kidney beans on the ground, with a happy smile on his face.

This kidney bean is a very delicious ingredient, which can be eaten directly by roasting it with fire.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead picked up a branch, cut it a few times, and then used the branch to pass through the kidney beans.

Five kidney beans were strung on a branch. The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, made five strings in total.

Twenty-five kidney beans, slightly larger than eggs, were enough to fill his stomach.

Beside the bonfire, the kidney beans roasted by the heat of the flames began to emit an enticing aroma.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead smelled the aroma of roasted kidney beans, swallowed his saliva, and waited patiently.

Although these kidney beans are delicious, if they are eaten half-cooked, they will cause severe diarrhea.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead clearly remembered that when he ate these kidney beans for the first time, he was too anxious and ate them before they were cooked, which caused him to have diarrhea for a long time.

This memory is very deep, and it can be said that it will never be forgotten in a lifetime.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead recalled the past and waited patiently for the kidney beans to be cooked.

Unconsciously, the last remaining light of the sun disappeared completely.

At this time, the roasted kidney beans made by the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead were also cooked.

The fragrance floating in the air was very strong, making people drool constantly.

"It's time to eat."

"I haven't eaten roasted kidney beans for a long time."

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead picked up a bunch of fragrant roasted kidney beans, blew on them, and then took a bite.

The mellow bean fragrance bloomed between the lips and teeth, and the excellent taste made people extremely happy.

After a delicious meal, I felt that all the fatigue caused by today's journey disappeared.

"Burp."

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead burped after eating and drinking, then he lay on the ground and looked at the sky.

The sun had completely disappeared, and the world was shrouded in night.

The moon was not conspicuous tonight, and the dark night sky like a curtain was occupied by shining stars.

"It's a meteor."

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at the beautiful night sky and found a meteor passing through the sky.

Afterwards, one meteor after another followed closely.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead thought it was just a meteor, but it turned out to be a meteor shower.

The beautiful meteor shower was extremely eye-catching. Whether it was the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead who was staying here overnight, or other creatures, they all looked up at the meteor shower in the sky.

"Roar..."

"Woo..."

"Ga..."

The appearance of the meteor shower caused quite a stir, and all kinds of strange beast roars sounded from afar.

The beast roars intertwined and spread in the air, and could be clearly heard from far away.

The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead who was settled in the woods was a little surprised when he heard the beast roars around him.

He had been in this area for a long time today, but he had not encountered a single strange beast.

Now hearing so many beast roars reminded him to be alert to these hiding guys when he rested at night.
