Chapter 52 Xialong is very happy
Harley yawned and opened her eyes. Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the tent and shone on Chen Yan's handsome sleeping face. Although it wasn't the first time she had seen him, she couldn't help but admire him for a while longer.
"The thought of having to watch Naomi's face when I get back to base makes me uncomfortable. No, I need to take a good look at her now..."
Thinking of the ugly face of slave owner Naomi, Harley shuddered in fear. But she should be praised for bringing Chen Yan back ahead of time, right?
Harley looked at him carefully for a second before getting up.
"Ouch, you're stepping on my hair again..."
She stretched her hair, revealing her slender waist beneath the wrinkles in her clothes. She tiptoed out of the tent to prepare breakfast, and a few strands of her hair brushed against Chen Yan's cheek, tickling him and making his face twitch.
She hummed a little tune, brandished the spatula, and prepared an exceptionally sumptuous feast to bid farewell to the anthill wasteland.
Thanks to Mrs. Blackhorn Dragon, the stream turned into a deep pool, which seemed to be connected to an underground river. Many big and fat fish appeared. She stewed a big pot of fish soup, mixed in some sweet and refreshing wild vegetables, and picked a lot of sweet and sour wild fruits.
And the most important finale dish, a large piece of venison steak that had been roasted over a low flame overnight.
While keeping an eye on the pots on the stove, she casually picked up a few cactus fruits.
Carefully removing the small thorns from the cactus fruit, grinding it into a paste with a pestle, and adding a little honey, I was just about to call the little horned dragon to eat when I remembered that the little guy had already been taken away by Mrs. Blackhorned Dragon.
"I'm so confused, I don't even know if the little one has eaten yet..."
Harley casually poured the paste into the cat's bowl. The cat never looks at its food while eating; it only cares about what's edible...
Speaking of this, with the little horned dragon gone, Flower Cat was the happiest. It could finally sleep comfortably between Chen Yan and Harley at night, no longer having to curl up and get pounded by their legs...
It came out after smelling the aroma, and stretched out its paw to lift the pot to taste the saltiness. After being slapped by Harley and brought back to its senses, it obediently went to wash up. It haphazardly splashed water on its paws and face, then held the large bowl with a look of anticipation, waiting for breakfast.
As for the paste at the bottom of the bowl, it had already licked it clean. Wasn't that supposed to be a dessert to whet the appetite?
Once the fish soup boiled again, Harley turned off the stove, put on gloves, and picked up the large pot.
"Hmm, Chen Yan likes to drink thin, oily fish soup, so he drinks the top layer. I like it to be neither too thin nor too thick, and I drink the middle layer. Hua Miao only likes the thick soup, so she drinks the bottom layer..."
Delicious food was laid out on the stone table with a missing leg. Hua Miao started drinking it all up, ignoring the fact that it was too hot to drink. Harley noticed that Chen Yan hadn't gotten up yet, so she took off her apron and went to call him.
"Hey, Chen Yan, wake up! Get up now! After breakfast, you and Hua Miao pack your things. I need to write down what happened during this time for future visitors to the camp..."
Chen Yan did not respond.
Harley reached out to push him, but he still didn't wake up.
Harley pulled Chen Yan's face away, but as soon as she let go, Chen Yan fell straight down. If Harley hadn't stretched out her leg to cushion the fall, he would have hit his head on the ground.
Seeing that Chen Yan was still unconscious, Harley realized that something was wrong; the damage to Chen Yan's body was far more serious than she had imagined.
Harley's face paled slightly. She subconsciously pulled out a precious secret medicine from her pocket to save her life, and tried to stuff it into Chen Yan's mouth. Fortunately, the cat that came over was quick and intercepted her with a spoonful.
"Boss Harley, Chen Yan isn't injured, and the secret medicine won't work. Why don't we finish breakfast and head back to the base early..."
Harley took away the bowl that Flower Cat had just half-finished drinking from.
"Eating breakfast??? Let's go now!!!"
After quickly tidying up the camp, he found some vines to tie to his back and rode the pterosaur back to the Star Base at top speed.
Harley was worried about how to fool Naomi, but it turned out that Naomi had gone to take inventory of supplies. The base was bustling with people coming and going, and no one paid any attention to them. Harley sneakily took Chen Yan into the medical room.
The bustling scene that greeted her upon entering startled her. The usually empty medical room was now filled with people, some even sleeping on the floor in the corridor.
After handing Chen Yan over to the exhausted-looking medical staff in white, Harley approached a familiar-looking hunter and began to gather information.
"Hey bro, what's wrong? I don't remember the day to intercept the Zorah Magdaros has arrived yet?"
"Oh, it's little Harley!"
The old hunter's eyes darted around, and he ripped open the gauze wrapped around his chest.
"Look, this is from the breath of the Rathalos, the king of the skies! Look at this huge scar, look at this huge blister... I fought that Rathalos for eight hundred rounds, and finally defeated it!"
Several hunters nearby rolled their eyes at his boasting. The old hunter, being shrewd, knew that opportunities to exaggerate were rare, and since everyone should do it together, he pointed to the side.
"Of course, their records are also quite good. The one opposite you knocked down two male Rathalos, and the one lying down behind you paralyzed a female Rathalos with electricity."
The old hunter spoke with great enthusiasm.
"A little further on, that one's even more ferocious. He used a hammer, you know, a hammer? Not the little hammer the head chef uses to crush garlic, but a heavy weapon that hardly anyone in the outpost uses. He used a hammer to completely stun a Rathalos!"
Harley listened, completely bewildered, as she looked at the wounded hunters.
How come everyone at the stronghold has become a monster capable of tearing apart a Rathalos in just over ten days?
After a thorough examination by the young lady in white, Chen Yan was found to be fine, but he had exhausted too much of his energy, leaving his body in a semi-comatose protective state.
This is also quite common. Some hunters will fall into a coma after experiencing a crisis and then going into a trance. They will be fine after receiving nutrient solutions for half a month.
Harley finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Yan's injuries were so severe that he didn't even qualify to sleep in the medical room corridor. Harley carried a large amount of IV fluids and carried Chen Yan back to his dormitory.
After learning the news, Naomi also took some time to visit Chen Yan, and happened to see Hua Miao clumsily changing Chen Yan's dressing.
It held the needle in its paws and clumsily tried to poke Chen Yan's wrist, making seven or eight attempts but failing. Just as it was about to bite him... Harley, on the other hand, was sleeping soundly next to Chen Yan, even more soundly than he was.
Naomi gave Halle a sharp rap on the forehead.
After some fuss, the two agreed to take turns looking after Chen Yan. However, when night fell, the two who had made the agreement slept soundly, while only Hua Miao was still wide awake.
Seeing that the bag of nutrient solution was about to run out, and that neither of them would wake up no matter how much it pried at them, it had no choice but to pick up the needle again.
Just as I was about to try it out, I heard the window creak, and a cool night breeze blew in, making me shiver.
"The wind isn't strong, so how come the window was blown open..."
It put down the needle, ran to close the window, and just as it touched the window on tiptoe, it heard someone get up behind it.
"Is it Harley or Naomi who's awake? Perfect timing, you can change Chen Yan's dressing, I still can't hold on... Oh my god!"
As soon as Hua Miao turned around, her fur stood on end in fright. It wasn't Naomi or Harley who had gotten up, but Chen Yan who was swaying and "floating" up.
Yes, he floated up.
Hua Miao was so scared that her heart almost jumped out of her mouth. She watched as Chen Yan slowly floated up from the bed, slowly floated in front of her, slowly brushed against her and floated out of the window, and then slowly floated up into the sky along the eaves.
The cat took a deep breath, about to scream with all its might, but halfway through, two hands covered its mouth from the left and right.
"You two are really strange. One of you doesn't know how many skills you learned from the head chef, and the other doesn't know his relationship with Him. You two are truly a great team."
This is what Harley said.
"Don't panic, He has come to take Chen Yan away. Alright, now we can get a good night's sleep."
This is what Naomi said.
"Is He... a human or a ghost...?"
This is what the still-shaken Flower Cat said.
Chen Yan felt as if he had suddenly moved from a drafty, dilapidated house in winter to a warm, spring-like villa. A clean and pure warm current flowed continuously from in front of him, nourishing his parched body.
He instinctively hugged it tightly, and even couldn't help but lick and suck it.
"It's spicy and numbing, so delicious...so delicious..."
While absorbing the earth's energy and enveloping it with its tongue, Xialong glanced at Chen Yan, who was sucking away with a slurping sound.
Especially his lips, which started to swell.
His tongue is poisonous...
