Start with a space

Ouch!

Suddenly, a wolf howled from the woods not far away.

When the three gray wolves saw Zhang Xiaoshan suddenly disappear, they were slightly stunned and didn't understand why. They turned to look at the mountain pig.

Whoosh.

Three gray wolves leaped forward and rushed over as fast as lightning.

There was a cold cruelty in their eyes.

They opened their wolf mouths, revealing their sharp fangs, pounced forward, and bit the mountain boar's throat hard.

"Woo!"

Suddenly there was a scream, and the mountain pig twisted its body and kicked its legs, struggling for a few times, but was eventually bitten to death by three gray wolves.

Soon, the hilltop pig fell into the grass and didn't move.

Ouch!

The three gray wolves howled again, their roars echoing in the woods. They turned their heads and stared at the woods not far away, baring their teeth.

They exuded a sense of hostility, as if declaring that the corpses of the mountain pigs were their food and no one else was allowed to touch them.

Wow!

At this moment, a bush not far away shook, and then two men rushed out, one in front and one behind, each holding a long knife in his hand.

"Dad, look, three gray wolves appeared and they killed our prey!"

One of the men, who was in his thirties, stopped immediately with a fixed gaze, tightly gripped his long knife, and said in fear.

"That's great. I didn't expect that my father and I would encounter three gray wolves. It looks like we're going to have a great harvest today."

Then, another middle-aged man rushed out of the bushes, glanced around and said with a smile on his face.

"kill!"

The two men looked at each other, nodded slightly, shouted loudly, and rushed towards the three gray wolves tacitly.

The long swords in their hands flashed with cold light as they killed forward.

"Fortunately, I reacted quickly and entered the space one step ahead of time, otherwise, I would have been seen by Captain Chen and his son."

Zhang Xiaoshan landed on the ground and quickly turned his head to look. After a pause, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked through the barrier of space, and after a moment, he saw the figures of Captain Chen and his companions rushing out from the woods not far away.

Captain Chen and his son are about to start a battle with the three gray wolves.

“Those three grey wolves are not easy to deal with. With the martial arts of the father and son, it will probably be difficult to hunt them down in a short time.

Now, I just have to wait for them to finish off the three gray wolves and leave."

Zhang Xiaoshan watched the two men outside fighting with the gray wolf, made a rough estimate, and thought to himself.

At present, this space is his secret, and he does not want others to know it. Naturally, he has to wait for Captain Chen and the other two to leave before he can leave the space.

"Cuckoo..."

Suddenly, a low roar of hunger came from Zhang Xiaoshan's stomach.

He subconsciously touched his belly, frowned slightly, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

"Are you hungry so soon?"

Only then did he realize that he was already tired from coming to the woods to chop wood, and he had just been running all the way, which quickly consumed his energy. Now he was actually hungry.

Zhang Xiaoshan turned his head slightly and his eyes fell on a few plants not far away.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

All I saw were a few green plants, their branches bent with weight and bearing a few grayish-white, steamed-bun-sized fruits.

"Haha, the spiritual rice is finally ripe and looks like it's ready to eat. That's great."

Zhang Xiaoshan laughed and said, he took a few steps forward, came to the side of the plant, and looked at the steamed bun-sized magical rice with surprise.

This spiritual rice was the ten spiritual rice seeds he found eleven days ago after integrating the original owner's memories, and then planted them on the land in the space.

The seeds of the spiritual rice were left by the grandfather of the original owner. After Zhang Xiaoshan traveled through time, they belonged to him.

“The original owner’s grandfather told me that spiritual rice needs to be carefully cared for for three months before it matures.

However, I planted the spiritual rice in the space and left it alone. It matured in just ten days."

Zhang Xiaoshan, who was very happy, paused, thought for a moment, and whispered: "

I understand now. The reason why the spiritual rice seeds planted in the space mature in about ten days is because the flow rate of time in this space is ten times that of the outside world.

Therefore, if ten days pass in the outside world, a hundred days will pass in this space."

At this moment, Zhang Xiaoshan was surprised and happy, and said with a smile: "

Great, every ten days, I can harvest a wave of magical rice."

This space was when he traveled through it. He found that he was wearing a water-colored necklace bead around his neck.

He named this bead the Space Bead.

After eleven days of exploration, he finally discovered some uses of the space beads.

First of all, there are three acres of fertile land in the space bead, which is suitable for growing all kinds of plants. In addition, the flow rate of time is ten times that of the outside world, which will help him grow plants.

Secondly, when he entered the space bead, people outside could not detect his existence at all, but he could see clearly everything happening outside through the barrier of the space bead.

Also, when danger comes, he can hide in the space bead, making it a safe shelter to avoid danger.

These uses alone made him look forward to this space bead.

"hey-hey!"

Zhang Xiaoshan chuckled and looked at the magical rice plants in front of him happily. He saw that each plant had three magical rice balls the size of steamed buns.

With a look of delight on his face, he picked one at random, held it in his hand to examine it, then raised his hand and put his nose close to it to smell it.

The magical rice exudes a refreshing fragrance, and just a light breath of it makes you feel refreshed.

He couldn't help but exclaimed: "What a nice smell!"

However, at this time, the rumbling sound of my stomach started again.

"This spiritual rice cannot be eaten directly!"

Zhang Xiaoshan whispered.

He remembered that the original owner's grandfather had told him that it was difficult to digest and absorb the spiritual energy in the spiritual rice directly, and it needed to be cooked before it could be eaten.

However, it was not convenient for him to leave here now, and he could not go home to cook, and his stomach was growling with hunger.

Zhang Xiaoshan rolled his eyes, smiled, and said to himself:

There is a way.”

As he spoke, he used an axe to cut a long piece of wood placed in the space, then put them together and lit them.

Then, he used a thin branch to string the picked spiritual rice together, like a grilled spiritual rice skewer.

He planned to roast the spiritual rice the size of steamed buns and eat it.

He knew that spiritual rice could not only restore physical strength and increase power, but also increase the spiritual energy in the body.

Currently, he is at the peak of the first level of Qi Refining, but he does not know any magic, so he can only rely on eating spiritual rice to increase the spiritual energy in his body.

Before long, the roasted rice gave off a rich rice aroma.

"The spiritual rice is cooked, you can eat it now."

Zhang Xiaoshan's eyes lit up, and as he spoke, he reached out, picked up a string of roasted spiritual rice, and bit into it without hesitation.

With a crisp bang!

Suddenly, his mouth was filled with fragrance. After chewing for a few times, a warm current flowed down his throat and into his abdomen. Zhang Xiaoshan only felt warm inside and felt very comfortable.

The previous feeling of hunger quickly dissipated.
