Chapter 1212: Starving

In a vast and dense forest, two young people were sitting on the ground.

Their bodies were weak, and their stomachs were growling. Anyone who saw them would know immediately that they were starving. 

These two young people were none other than Xiao Tian and his friend, Crystal.

Xiao Tian and Crystal were currently resting on the ground. Previously, they looked for something to eat for more than three hours, but their efforts were in vain.

Yes, they did not find anything that could be eaten!

For this reason, their bodies became frail because they had not eaten anything since yesterday.

They were starving, especially Xiao Tian, who had been carrying Crystal since yesterday. 

At first, Xiao Tian wanted to go to the blueberry tree near their previous cave, but he changed his mind because he was afraid that their enemies were still in that place.

They almost lost their lives when they tried to escape from their enemies, so he decided not to go to the blueberry tree. 

After resting for an hour, Xiao Tian spoke, “Crystal, let’s go find fruit again.”

“How is your condition?” Crystal was worried about Xiao Tian’s condition because he was the only one who had worked hard since earlier.

Sure, she also tried to help him find fruit, but Xiao Tian carried her all the time.

“I have recovered most of my stamina.” Xiao Tian’s stamina had not fully recovered because he was starving.

“Xiao Tian, how about I wait here? Carrying me will consume a lot of your stamina, so I think it’s better to leave me here or in the cave.” Crystal felt like she was a burden to Xiao Tian, so she suggested looking for fruit alone.

“What are you talking about? I’m strong, you know?” Xiao Tian pretended to be strong.

Two wolves attacked her when he left her alone in the cave, so he would always be by her side until she fully recovered.

“By the way, why haven’t we seen a single animal since morning?” Crystal did not see a single animal since they left the cave.

If they could find a deer or a rabbit, they could eat it. However, they did not see a single animal since earlier, as if there was no animal in the forest.

“Now that you say it, it’s true that we haven’t seen a single animal since earlier.” Xiao Tian also thought it was weird.

“Let’s just kill an animal if we find them so that we can fill our empty stomachs.” Crystal gave a suggestion.

“Alright.” Xiao Tian nodded his head before finally carrying Crystal on his back again.

However, the goddess of luck was not on their side because not only did they not find edible fruit, they even did not see a single animal. 

Xiao Tian and Crystal then headed to the river again. They tried to catch fish, but their efforts were in vain.

First, the river was deep and huge. Last, the color of the water was dark, so they could not see the fish.

*Kriuk…

Their stomachs were growling again, giving a sign that they were starving. 

“Crystal, it’s almost dark now. Let’s return to the cave.” Even though Xiao Tian still wanted to find food, they had to return to the cave.

“Alright.” Crystal wore a sad face because they did not find anything to eat since morning.

Like before, Xiao Tian carried Crystal again. His steps were slow, and his face was not full of vigor like usual.

At the same time, the old man, who sat on the cliff, saw them.

‘Hmm?’

Like before, he did not say anything and only stared at Xiao Tian and Crystal.

—–

Forest, Cave.

Xiao Tian instantly lay on the leaves after making a bonfire.

His body was weak because he had not eaten anything since yesterday. His stomach also kept growling as if the worms in his stomach was doing a concert. 

Like Xiao Tian, Crystal also lay on the leaves. Of course, she was also starving. She even kept rubbing her stomach as if she was telling her stomach to stop growling. 

“Let’s sleep early today.” Xiao Tian uttered, “Let’s hope we can find something to eat tomorrow.”

“Un.” After nodding her head, Crystal shut her eyes.

Even though they tried their best to sleep, they could not sleep as fast as usual because they were hungry.

Yes, they almost could not sleep because their stomachs had been empty since yesterday.

However, Xiao Tian and Crystal kept closing their eyes because they believed they would fall asleep if they kept shutting their eyes.

They finally fell asleep after trying for several minutes.

—–

The following morning, Xiao Tian carried Crystal to find fruit or animal after waking up. 

Of course, they were still hungry. This was the reason why they immediately looked for food after waking up.

However, the goddess of luck was not on their side again because they did not find anything that could be eaten.

Xiao Tian and Crystal were currently sitting on the ground with their backs leaning against a big tree.

Two days!

It had been two days since the last time they ate something, and now, they felt their bodies were heavier than before.

Actually, they did not gain weight; instead, they had lost weight. They felt their bodies heavier because they were starving.

*Huft…

Xiao Tian and Crystal sighed as they looked at the blue sky.

At this moment, both Xiao Tian and Crystal felt as if God was torturing them. 

Two days!

They had been looking for something to eat for two days, but their efforts were in vain.

All the fruits they found were poisonous or inedible anymore. And what they found it hard to believe was that they did not see a single animal.

Normally, they would try their best to avoid wild animals, but they did the opposite this time.

They did everything they could to attract any animal, but none of them came out of their hiding place as if they knew what was going on.

Xiao Tian even did not have the stamina to curse God or wild animals. He could only sigh or look at Crystal and the blue sky.

As Xiao Tian was looking at the sky, he suddenly remembered something.

The old man!

Yes, he suddenly remembered the old man they met after running away from Fu Rou and the others.

The old man was full of energy, so he was sure that the old man had something to eat. 

Xiao Tian instantly turned his head to look at Crystal before finally speaking, “Crystal, let’s find that old man.”

“Old man?” Crystal did not get Xiao Tian’s words.

“Do you remember the old man we met after running away from Fu Rou and the others?” Xiao Tian spoke and paused for a second before he continued, “Let’s find that old man. I’m sure he has something to eat.”

“Ah, that old man?!” Crystal finally understood the person Xiao Tian was referring to. “But are you sure he will share his food with us? What if he doesn’t want to give us any food later?”

“Let’s try first.” Of course, Xiao Tian hoped the old man would share his food with them later because they were starving.

‘I will do whatever it takes to make him share his food with us later.’

He would do whatever to get the old man to agree to share his food with them, even if he had to pay for the food.

Yes, he even did not mind if he had to pay a high price for food later! 

What was important to them was that they got something to eat.

He was rich, so he did not mind it. 

As long as the old man agreed to share his food with them, he was even willing to give the old man a lot of money later.

“Alright.” Crystal thought Xiao Tian’s idea was good.

They had been looking for something to eat since yesterday, but their efforts were in vain, so it was better to find that old man.

Of course, she hoped the old man would agree to share his food with them later.

*Ten minutes…Twenty minutes…forty minutes…

After looking for the old man for about forty minutes, Xiao Tian and Crystal finally found the old man.

The old man was currently sitting on the cliff near the river.

‘There he is.’

Xiao Tian and Crystal were happy when they saw the old man.

Of course, the old man also noticed them.

‘Hm?’

At this moment, the old man still did not know the reason why Xiao Tian and Crystal were walking towards him.

“Huft…Huft…” Xiao Tian breathed heavily as he walked.

The old man kept sitting on the cliff when he noticed that Xiao Tian was walking towards him from behind him.

“What are you doing here?” the old man inquired, “Do you need anything from me?”

When Xiao Tian was close to the old man, he stopped his footsteps before answering, “Elder, can you help us with something?”

At this moment, Xiao Tian was still carrying Crystal. Sure, he was tired, but he did not put her down.

“What is it?” the old man asked curiously.

Like before, the old man did not look at Xiao Tian and Crystal. He kept looking at the forest in front of him as if he was alone.

Even though the behavior of the old man was rude, Xiao Tian and Crystal did not mind it because they needed his help.

Sure, it looked like they were talking to the old man’s back, but they did not say anything about it.

“We haven’t eaten anything for two days. If you have food, can you share it with us?” Xiao Tian replied.
