The male protagonist survives in the infinite game by supporting his wife

Chapter 180: 1-mile Migration Journey (29)

"This is……"

"I seem to have been given some special status because of absorbing your energy."

Shi Jinzhe was stunned: "Then do you feel anything wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Will it affect your tail? Is this the reason why you slept for so long?"

He hasn't figured out this skill yet, so he shouldn't cause any negative effects on Shekh.

"No." Sheh told Shi Jinzhe not to worry: "I'm in good condition. My body is lighter than before, and the power of my snake tail has also increased."

It was not clear how Shi Jinzhe did it, because with the faint golden light on the snake's tail, she also had a faint fragrance.

"When I opened my eyes, I felt a more intimate connection with the wind, flowers, grass and trees around me. Swinging my snake tail was like swimming in the water, very comfortable.

Also, you were not with me at the time, so I followed the smell and was able to see the rings of growth in the tree through the bark."

Shi Jinzhe was surprised: "See clearly? Very clear?"

Is there any other way to see the annual rings besides looking at the cross section?

The tree trunk is not layered, so how can we see the complete entity?

Sheikh: “Yes, very clear.”

She had been able to see some obscured objects or lives before, but never the obstructions.

It was like looking at the next room through a wall. She could vaguely see the person next door, but she couldn't see through the structure of the wall that separated them.

But now, she could clearly see the growth rings in the giant tree.

For example, the tree she just came down from was less than one year old, and the one they lived in the day before yesterday was one hundred and forty years old.

She could see the life pulse of every giant tree here.

The ever-changing annual rings are orderly in their circles, and each turn is a mark left by time.

Shekh came to another tree and said, "One hundred and sixteen. I can see everything I want."

"I can't see how useful it is at the moment, but it's good to be able to see clearly." Shi Jinzhe followed her and ignored why his skills made Shehe more sensitive to nature, while he didn't have this problem.

"It doesn't matter what you watch, as long as you are okay."

"Don't worry." Sheh stared at the snake slough in his hand. "Also, the color of my snake slough this time is much darker, closer to the color of the snake's tail itself."

Hearing this, Shi Jinzhe flattened the snake skin with his hands and put it in the sun for a closer look: "It is indeed different from the last time you used it."

It is called snake shed, but what was taken off this time was actually more like thin snake skin.

"If you use this snake slough to make another piece of clothing, will the effect be better than this purple dress?"

"Yes, the defensive effect will be doubled."

Shekh swung his purple snake tail, which shone with a gilded luster in the sun. "Fortunately, your skill didn't make me ugly, otherwise I would have poisoned you to death."

"That won't work."

Shi Jinzhe walked around Tail and approached Shehe, put his arms around her shoulders, lowered his head and leaned forward: "I can't live without you. I feel anxious when you are away for a day."

Yesterday he sat alone on the tree counting the time waiting for Sheh to wake up, but she showed no signs of waking up until the evening.

As night fell, Shi Jinzhe started to worry that the special environment here might have had some influence on her. The more he thought about it, the more scared he became.

He found a lot of things to distract himself, but the worries in his heart could not be dispelled.

"Two days and one night. We have never been apart for so long."

"It's a day and a half plus a night." Sheh tilted his head and shook his shoulders, but didn't shake him off. "You're so clingy."

"Yeah." Shi Jinzhe responded without changing his expression and asked her, "Are there any other changes you want to make?"

"Yes." Shekh opened his fingers, which were covered with thick dark blue corrosive liquid. "In addition to the tail, this has also changed."

Spots of golden light appeared in the dark blue color, and as the corrosive liquid flowed, it formed a luxurious black and gold color.

"Is the corrosion effect intensified?"

"It can be recovered after absorbing other things." At the moment, Sheh had nothing to experiment with, so he could only briefly explain to Shi Jinzhe, "Things that have been decomposed before could not be recovered, but now they can be recovered."

"Recyclable?" Shi Jinzhe smiled, "Are you an environmental ambassador?"

"You want me to hibernate?"

What a cold joke.

"Don't you think it's funny?" Shi Jinzhe said and then laughed.

Sheh turned his face away, not knowing what the joke was.

Isn't this the characteristic added to himself by his skills? Doesn't Shi Jinzhe care whether he has any new changes?

"Don't you appear different?"

"No." Shi Jinzhe didn't feel any other changes in himself, except that his energy storage became more.

Sheh observed his face, which was not weak, but also not energetic, as if there was really no change.

"Is today the forty-eighth day of the game?"

"Well, there are still 1,500 miles left. We won't be able to reach the destination on the 55th day."

You can’t walk this distance in a week on flat ground, let alone in a forest like this.

Shi Jinzhe was afraid that she would think too much, so he said in a gentle voice: "Only ten points. Our seven cocoons are enough. There is no need to rush."

Sheh: "What if the butterfly emerges prematurely?"

"We have backups. The four that we collected later have average evolution speeds. They should have no problem lasting 60 days."

Shi Jinzhe took out the wooden box containing the golden cocoons and opened it one by one for Shehe to see.

When I opened it, I found...

All seven of them are showing signs of emerging from their shells.

"Is this what you mean by not being a big problem?"

This is a big problem.

What if the feather is also considered damaged?

Where can they find spare golden cocoons now?

"It wasn't there when I checked this morning." Shi Jinzhe was reminded by Lu Teng in the morning, and he checked again after changing the branches.

He took out the one that had been leading the way. The metal cocoon shell had softened and had the texture of translucent frosted glass, through which he could see the vague golden lines inside.

When Shekh saw the golden cocoon turned into this texture, he instantly felt that it was ten thousand times more fragile.

“Can this still be followed by a map?”

Even if she put it in a wooden box, she was afraid that the wood would become prickly and scratch the soft shell.

"It's okay, let's try it first."

"Why don't you look anxious?"

"I'm anxious." Shi Jinzhe took out a map, "But being anxious won't change the current situation. Let's think of a solution first."

The cocoon shell could still hold out for a few days. If it really didn't work, he and Sheh would go back and intercept the players behind them.

"So calm, do you have a solution?"

“Not sure, but I think it would work.”

Shi Jinzhe stroked Sheh's face, rubbed the bottom edge of the ribbon with his thumb twice, and told her not to worry.

"The system made an exception and enabled vehicle adjustments and material supply because there were only three people with a mileage of more than 5,000 miles. We said last time that the golden cocoon is very important. Do you think it will intervene a second time if there is no player who can make it to the end?"
