Lu Yu glanced at the fruit knife not far from him. Because it had just been used to cut food, there was still some blood stains on it.

There were only two steps between him and the fruit knife, but at this moment, he could only think twice, tighten the ceramic water cup in his hand, grit his teeth, and get ready to go.

The bonfire in the tree hole was blown gently by the autumn wind, the flames floated, and the two shadows on the wall also twisted.

A spherical object the size of a human head floated not far from Lu Yu, and a thick, disgusting-looking black mist overflowed from its dark body.

Lu Yu could not find the eyes of this creature, but he could clearly feel that the dark monster in front of him was looking at him.

Behind the surging black mist, it seemed that a large number of eyes might open at any time, swallowing up Lu Yu's gaze.

Lu Yu didn't know what this black mist with a strong smell was. Soon after he went out to collect resources for the winter and returned to his nest in the tree hole, this strange thing followed him and floated into the tree hole.

Lu Yu has seen too many things that he cannot understand during this period. The appearance of the black mist once again expanded Lu Yu's cognitive boundaries.

what to do?

This kind of monster that is obviously beyond the scope of cognition, extremely weird, and has a particularly unpleasant appearance is in the same room with you. Being prepared for resistance should be the only option.

As for why he didn't communicate... Lu Yu was convinced that he didn't understand the other party's language.

Not long ago, he saw a group of soldiers wearing stainless steel armor patrolling in the forest from a distance. The language they spoke was different from any language Lu Yu knew.

Thinking of this, Lu Yu squeezed the ceramic water cup in his hand tighter.

Although it is not as deadly as a fruit knife, it is better than having it handy.

I just don’t know whether the monster shrouded in black mist before me has a body of flesh and blood, which can bleed and cause pain.

Suddenly, several tentacles stretched out from the black mist and pierced straight into the ground.

Lu Yu's tense nerves were stirred, and with a single step, he rushed to Hei Wu, holding the water glass in his hand high.

Just when the water glass was about to fall heavily, Lu Yu saw the pattern outlined by the tentacles on the ground out of the corner of his eye, wary of the tentacles coming from behind.

"I can't hold it back!"

Lu Yu secretly cried out.

Just when he was about to hit the black mist hard, two tentacles wrapped around Lu Yu's wrist and shook violently, causing his palm to loosen and the cup to fall to the ground.

At this time, the black mist had drifted some distance away.

Lu Yu, who recovered from the shock, saw the speed at which Black Mist evaded and the flexibility of its tentacles, and knew that he had no chance of winning against such a monster.

But this guy is carving patterns with his tentacles. Is this applying for communication?

Lu Yu covered his hand that had been thrown away and found that it had not been eroded.

I recalled several mathematical formulas and found that there was no sign of memory ambiguity.

Of course, he also felt that if the other party could really affect his thoughts, it might be difficult to find out no matter how he checked.

Suspicious, he slowly backed away and quickly looked down at the traces left by the tentacles on the ground.

It's not some complicated characters, but a pattern of lips plus an arrow.

The arrow points to the squirrel that Lu Yu roasted on the bonfire.

In the flash of lightning, Lu Yu understood something.

He lifted the unroasted squirrel on the shelf and asked carefully, "Do you want to eat it?"

The spherical black mist floating in mid-air remained motionless.

Lu Yu remembered the language barrier, so he immediately found a branch, added an arrow next to the lips drawn by the tentacles, and then placed the squirrel on the arrow.

The black mist took action.

As if worried that Lu Yu might misunderstand something, it first rolled up the water cup on the ground with its tentacles and handed it to Lu Yu.

Then, he rolled up the knife he had put aside, pointed the blade towards himself, and handed it to Lu Yu.

Lu Yu took these two things in a daze, and most of his vigilance disappeared.

Heiwu stretched out his tentacles and tapped the squirrel a few times. Seeing that Lu Yu didn't show any sign, it tapped the squirrel several times eagerly.

Seeing this urgent action, Lu Yu suddenly realized and stretched out his hand: "You can..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Yu smiled helplessly, forgetting that he didn't understand the other party's language again.

He picked up the piece of squirrel meat and handed it to Heiwu himself.

After the black mist entangled it with its tentacles, it actually imitated Lu Yu, put it on with a wooden stick, and placed it on the bonfire again for roasting.

"Does this guy also like to eat cooked food?" Lu Yu thought this idea was ridiculous.

In his opinion, it is in line with his style to take it and then break it down directly, rather than like a barbecue master who keeps turning the squirrel meat with his tentacles until it is fully cooked before eating it.

Although he still didn't dare to reveal his back to this strange black mist, Lu Yu could breathe a sigh of relief after confirming that the other party was a creature that could communicate.

When people have low psychological expectations for what they will encounter, death is not a terrible thing.

Lu Yu wanted to resist just now but he didn't want to die too useless. After all, it had been almost a month since he traveled through time and he had been feeling aggrieved. His breath was stuck in his throat and he couldn't get out.

Now that the other party acted like an intelligent creature, this also gave Lu Yu, who had not spoken to anyone for a long time and could only talk to himself to maintain his language skills, some comfort.

He picked up the knife and fiddled with it for a long time, then processed another prey caught in the trap this afternoon and put it on the campfire.

Seeing the black mist's tentacles reaching out to take over the string in his hand, Lu Yu hesitated for a while and decided to try to reason.

He pointed at the squirrel that was being roasted by the black mist, indicating that it belonged to it.

Then he put the one in his arms...

The tentacles stretched out anyway, taking advantage of the moment when Lu Yu was about to make a gesture and swept away the squirrel meat.

Lu Yu stared blankly at the two tentacles of the black mist turning over the two pieces of squirrel meat. He wanted to say something, but he held it back.

The aroma of meat wafting in the air made Lu Yu drool. He sighed, dug out the winter grain storage found in the squirrel's nest, peeled a few pine nuts and put them into his mouth, chewing them carefully.

.

During this period of time traveling back in time, Lu Yu had very little time to eat, and most of the time he was hungry.

He still remembered that when he successfully hunted for the first time, he even had the urge to drink blood due to excessive hunger.

During the most difficult period, Lu Yu relied on a big white wolf as tall as a person.

This white wolf always eats very wastefully. After eating up the belly part of the prey, it will be discarded elsewhere.

Lu Yu played a guest role as a hyena. Every time he encountered food that the white wolf couldn't finish, he would patiently cut it up with a knife and bring it back to the tree hole where he lived.

But the good times didn't last long. The white wolf seemed to have left the nearby area recently, leaving Lu Yu, who had enjoyed being a hyena, without a source of food.

I finally caught some meat today, but I didn't expect someone to break into my house and rob me.

However, Lu Yu was not very angry because he had not been with other living beings for a long time.

He missed the white wolf very much. Although the white wolf looked at him like he was looking at garbage every time, Lu Yu felt very peaceful every time he looked at the white wolf.

Now this black mist suddenly broke into his tree hole. Although it was a bit unexpected, it was still a living life accompanying him.

The rich aroma of meat penetrated Lu Yu's nose.

He turned his head and his cheeks felt hot.

The roasted squirrel meat was pushed in front of him by the tentacles.

Looking at Heiwu who was still grilling another bunch of squirrel meat, Lu Yu looked at the bunch in front of him again, was stunned for a while, and pointed at himself blankly.

The tentacle drew an arrow on the ground, pointing directly at Lu Yu.

Taking the squirrel meat, Lu Yu took a big bite without hesitation, chewing it and thanking him, completely forgetting that the squirrel was his trophy.

After a while, another bunch of squirrel meat was almost cooked. Lu Yu looked at the black mist intently, wondering how it would eat the meat.

Anyway, Lu Yu still hasn't found where its mouth is.

The tentacles rolled up the meat skewers, and then black mist surged. Lu Yu didn't see the movement clearly, and the pieces of meat on the sticks were gone.

ah?

What is this eaten with?

"Phew...finally I don't have to eat raw meat anymore."

Before Lu Yu could think about this problem clearly, a strange voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

It sounds like a girl, and I can understand the language, but...

Who is talking?

Lu Yu raised his head in horror and looked at the black mist not far away, and an absurd guess emerged spontaneously.

The voice in Lu Yu's mind suddenly stopped, and the black mist floating in the air slowly turned.

There is no doubt that Heiwu also noticed something unusual from Lu Yu's reaction.

Feeling the line of sight piercing through the black mist, Lu Yu swallowed subconsciously and couldn't help but move back.

The black mist's figure suddenly became blurry in Lu Yu's sight.

Before Lu Yu could react, several tentacles stretched out from the twisted mist and pushed him to the ground.
