Offer blocks to the end times

The two people beside him stared at the stone statue that seemed to stand there forever and understood. Chito also realized, "So this is why the stone statue was built."

"Ah," a snowflake hit Qianhu's face, and only then did she realize that the snow around her had become heavier and the car was covered with snow.

"The snow has gotten heavier."

"The weather is getting colder and colder."

"That's true, it's winter again now."

Chito stretched out his hand to catch the falling snowflakes, and after a while spoke, "You should return the things."

"what is this?"

"The things we just took."

"Why?" Yuri asked, puzzled.

“If those things don’t stay here, they’ll lose their purpose,” Qianhu sighed. “That’s the meaning of this place.”

Just as Sento was about to turn around and return the items, Senju placed two hellstone pillars in front of the statue and lit them on fire. Although the surrounding snowflakes continued to fall, the fire on them continued to burn.

"Senju, what is this?"

“Well, consider this a kind of offering, let this fire remember this place for us.” Senju bowed to the stone statue, then he and Chito turned around to return the items.

However, as the snow intensified, Qianhu became somewhat worried, "Do you remember where these things are?"

“Oh, I guess I’ll just put this here,” Yuri hesitated in front of a drawer. “Well, it doesn’t really matter where I put it.”

"No way," Chito quickly stopped Yuri's optimistic approach, but in the end, he let Yuri arrange the items according to her own method, because everyone had forgotten where these things originally were.

After putting these items into the drawer, the three of them disregarded the heavy snow and slowly left the cemetery.

After leaving the cemetery, Senju found a place to park the car. The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and all three of them felt very cold. Senju spread a layer of hell rock on the flat ground next to them and placed the container house on it. Then, the three of them covered the car and crawled inside.

After the three went inside, Senju lit a fire on the Hell Rock inside, and it warmed up in no time. Everyone took off their coats and hung them up nearby. Then Senju prepared to cook some food over the fire to ward off the cold.

Chito sat at the table next to her, writing down everything she had seen that day in her diary. Yuri, after spacing out for a while, ran to the food shelf to find her favorite food.

Chapter 75 Trial Use

Although it was snowing heavily outside, the cabin had become quite warm. Thousand Hands lit fires on the nearby hell rocks to make the cabin even warmer.

Fortunately, these fires don't need oxygen, so Senju only needs to surround them. Otherwise, he would have to use lava for warmth, but that seems a bit dangerous.

While Senju was lost in thought, the food in the pot was cooked. Tonight's meal was boiled taro, which was both simple and delicious. The three of them took a taro and slowly ate it.

Perhaps because of today's experience, the atmosphere in the room was a bit oppressive at first, but after a while, everyone stopped caring about it. After all, for the three of them, this was just a small stop on their journey.

"Give me another one," Yuri clamored for a second taro after finishing the one in her hand, but Senju had only cooked three for dinner, one for each person.

"Shut up, Yuri. We'll be resting soon, so don't eat too much." Chito, still eating more than half a taro, glared at Yuri, who had finished hers in one bite.

"Sigh, but I'm still hungry, Chihiro. Give me your side," Yuri said, drooling over the taro in Chihiro's hand.

"Ah," Qianhu didn't say anything, but finished the taro in his hand in a few bites. "It's a pity there's none left."

“Sigh, Senju,” Yuri glanced at Senju, but he had also finished eating, so Yuri turned her attention to the food shelf on the side. “Hehe, there’s still a lot here.”

“Yu, you’ve forgotten again,” Chito pulled Yuri’s face. “I told you not to steal food.”

"Waaah, just a little bit, Chihiro," Yuri threw herself onto the bed and started faking tears.

"No means no."

"You've gained a bit of weight lately, so I have to strictly control my food intake," Chito ignored Yuri's fake crying and instead revealed some incredible information.

However, Yuri didn't care much. After getting out of bed, she was actually quite happy. "Hehe, instead of saying I'm fat, you should say I'm too thin and need to eat more."

"Stop nagging, I don't want to grow that big," Chito tapped Yuri on the head, and Yuri stuck out her tongue to indicate that she understood.

But after a while, she thought of something else. "Chizu, let's take a bath together. I feel a little uncomfortable because I sweated today. You must feel cold too, Chizu."

“Hmm, a hot bath would be nice,” Chito said, somewhat tempted. “But we haven’t prepared hot water yet.”

“No, it’s all ready,” Yuri pointed to the iron box on the fire next to her. It was originally prepared for bathing, but Yuri had filled it with water at some point, and it was now boiling.

"...Isn't this a bit too hot?" Senju was speechless for a moment, but Yuri started filling the bath with cold water before adding hot water. After a while, the small bath was filled with just the right amount of hot water.

Then she pulled up a curtain, turning the area around the bath into a small space. This was to prevent water from splashing out and to prevent the spread of steam.

After preparing the bathhouse, Yuri stripped naked and rushed in, while Chito and Senju waited outside. After all, the bath in the hut was not big, only enough for one person, so everyone had to take turns bathing.

Chito was outside reading a book, while Senju stared blankly at the still-boiling water, wondering if they could catch any fish in there.

Senju tried it out of boredom and actually managed to catch a fish. Of course, he knew that the system's fishing had nothing to do with the water's condition, but this unusual scene still amused him. He continued fishing and eventually obtained an enchanted book with Burning +2.

Looking at the book in his hand, Senju was a little puzzled. Was this an accident or a coincidence? However, he decided to end the fishing trip. After all, he had already obtained an enchanted book, so this fishing trip was over.

While he was fishing, Yuri, who was taking a bath inside, started humming a song. A while after he finished fishing, Yuri stopped humming, and the sound of water came from inside, as if Yuri had finished bathing.

"Chihiro, give me the towel," Yuri called out to Chihiro, wanting her help, but Chihiro was engrossed in her book and only answered once before sitting still.

"Chihiro?" Yuri poked her head out from inside, her hair still wet. "Reading again, Senju. Give me a towel."

"Yes, yes, hurry up and dry your hair, or you'll catch a cold," Senju said, taking a large towel from the wall and handing it to her. Yuri then shrank back inside.

A moment later, Yuri came out wearing a robe and a towel. She walked quietly to Chito and called out, "Chito, it's your turn to take a bath."

"Wow," Chito was startled, then looked at Yuri's somewhat strange outfit, "Yuri, what are you wearing?"

“Because it looks cool, Chito, don’t you think?” Yuri swung the towel behind her, made a serious face, and then made Chito laugh.

"Yes, yes, Yu, go to sleep quickly. I still need a towel." After saying that, she pulled the towel away, took off her outer clothes, and went inside wearing a robe.

After seeing Senju go inside, Yuri looked at Senju with shining eyes, leaned closer and whispered, "Senju, give me some food."

"Sigh, but there's more on the shelf over there," Senju said, looking at the food with some confusion. However, his voice was a bit loud, so Yuri quickly covered his mouth.

"What's wrong?" Chito's voice came from inside. Yuri quickly replied, "It's nothing, Chito, take a good bath."

“Hmm,” Yuri explained to Senju, who seemed to be engrossed in the hot water again, “Chito has memorized the amount of food on the side. If there’s less, she’ll notice and get angry.”

"I see. But it's not good for Yuri to eat alone. Let's all have tea and snacks together after she takes a bath." Senju thought for a moment and decided it was better for everyone to eat something together. Giving Yuri alone would be unfair to Chito's good intentions.

"Really?" Yuri drooled, but since Chito had just gone in to take a bath, there was still a long time to go. So she nudged Senju, "Senju, you should go in and take a bath too, and then bring out the snacks."

"Behave yourself, there's still plenty of time," Senju tapped Yuri with a chop to the neck, and she stopped. Then she flopped onto the bed next to her and started daydreaming. Unfortunately, she got so caught up in her fantasies that she fell asleep there, leaving Senju speechless. He could only cover her with a blanket.

Chapter Seventy-Six: The Road Ahead

Seeing Yuri asleep there, Senju realized he had nothing to do, and he didn't feel like fishing right now. After thinking for a while, he started installing a workbench in the hut, planning to leave it there to see if it was still there after it was installed the next day.

After setting up the workbench, Thousand Hands began to check what he could make. For now, any iron tools would suffice; diamonds were too precious to be used for making an enchanting table later.

After searching for a while, he realized that all he could do now was make a rope, which he made by combining slime balls and thread.

Well, I know what it's used for, but it's completely useless right now. And look at how Nether Quartz can be used to craft Quartz Blocks, Granite, Diorite, etc.—it's a complete waste.

After looking around for a while, Senju realized that something was still missing. Just as he was lamenting, Chito came out after taking a bath. She was wearing a robe, and her usual twin ponytails were down. After coming out, she dried her hair in front of the fire, and then put the used towel on the rack next to the fire, waiting for it to dry before using it again.

"Are you done washing up?" Senju handed her a glass of milk. She realized that Yuri must have been too noisy earlier, which was why she forgot to give her the warmed milk. She only remembered after seeing Chito.

"Hmm, thank you," Chito picked up the milk and started drinking. "It's delicious. How about Yu?"

“Yuri is already asleep. I was thinking of giving everyone some snacks,” Senju said with a sigh as she looked at Yuri, who was sleeping soundly. “Now we’ll have to save Yuri’s for tomorrow.”

"I see. But let's eat together tomorrow. We need to rest now," Chito said with difficulty after thinking for a moment. Then she crawled into bed and helped Yuri adjust her sleeping position.

Thousand Hands chuckled softly, then went inside to take a bath. After bathing, he drained the hot water from the house, then extinguished the fire, leaving only one fire for warmth, and then lay down on his bed and fell asleep.

In the morning, Senju was woken up by the alarm clock. Since she couldn't see outside from inside the hut, she could only rely on her phone to wake everyone up at set times. After she stopped the alarm, the two people next to her were still asleep, but a strange sound came from them.

Senju turned her head and saw Yuri hugging Chito and licking her face repeatedly, saying indistinctly, "I can't eat anymore, it smells so good, hehehe."

Qianhu frowned, as if she were having a nightmare. After a while, it seemed that she had finally reached the most terrifying part of the dream. Her eyes began to dart around, and then she woke up suddenly.

"I'm going to be drunk up!" Only then did she realize it was a dream, and she breathed a sigh of relief. Then she felt someone licking her, and broke out in a cold sweat. Then she saw the Thousand Hands watching her and felt a surge of embarrassment and anger.

"Yu, you bastard," Chito reached out and pushed Yuri's head back to stop her from licking, but Yuri was holding on tightly and she couldn't break free for a moment.

However, amidst the pushing and shoving, Yuri finally woke up, stretched, and yawned, which finally freed Chito from her clutches.

"Good morning, Senju, Yuri, it's already morning," Senju told the two still somewhat drowsy people the time, then put on her coat and went to prepare breakfast.

However, Yuri sat on the bed in a daze for a while before speaking, "Did I eat last night? Hmm, I definitely didn't."

Then she licked her tongue, "But there's a strange taste in my mouth. What did I eat? I have absolutely no recollection of it."

Qianhu, standing next to her, blushed and grabbed a pillow, banging it against her repeatedly, yelling, "Idiot, idiot!"

"I'm sorry, Chihiro, I'll never steal food again," Yuri seemed to have accidentally let slip.

"It's not about that. Um, Yuri, have you ever sneaked food?" Chito finally realized what was going on, and Yuri also realized what was going on, whistling, "What is Chito talking about? We're about to eat."

"Hmph, I'll let you off this time. Next time, you'd better get a good night's sleep," Chito then began to put on his coat, leaving Yuri there with a head full of question marks.

Senju made a simple breakfast: milk, bread, and beef. It wasn't usually this elaborate, but to make up for Yuri, Senju decided to give everyone a better breakfast. After warming the milk in hot water, Senju toasted the bread and beef for a while, then sliced ​​the beef and put it on a metal plate.

By this time, the two people next to them had also finished tidying up. They even went outside to check the car before coming back. After each person had a cup of hot milk, the three of them took bread and started eating beef with forks.

After eating, the three packed their belongings into their backpacks. Chito filled a water jug ​​and took some food from the shelf to consume during the day.

After seeing that everyone was ready, the three of them went outside. Then Senju put away the hut and the Hell Rock below. However, after coming out of the warm house, everyone was still a little uncomfortable. Although the snow had stopped, it was still very cold outside.

After moving around for a while, the three of them felt a bit better, then sat in the car and headed in a different direction.

Perhaps they were heading in the right direction. After walking for several hours, they spotted a huge building in the distance. From their vantage point, the building seemed to connect to the buildings above, so they decided to look in that direction.

However, the road was quite long, and after walking for a while, the buildings hadn't changed much, so the three decided to rest for a bit before continuing.

After the three of them took turns drinking some water, Qianhu distributed food to everyone, and they continued to talk about the building while resting.

"That doesn't look like a pillar; the shape is off. What is it?"

"Xiaoqian, could that be connected to the pillar above? It looks very big."

"Hmm, that's possible, but it's still too big," Senju said, looking at the building. From here, you could see that one side was tilted, while the other side extended to the other side, making the overall appearance...

It resembles a trapezoidal building.

After discussing for a while, the three continued on their way. By evening, they could see some buildings above. This seemed to be a huge building, with a pillar connecting it to the top.

Although the pillars looked very thin, everyone knew that this was the path leading up to it. The group rushed back excitedly, but they still didn't reach the top. Instead, the broken road surface prevented the three of them from moving forward. They rested there for the night and planned to search the building again the next day.

Chapter Seventy-Seven Tea Party

After finding a flat spot, they set up the small hut and went inside. It was still the same as it had been in the morning, with the workbench still there. Senju placed a box between the two beds, near the wall, intending to put some unused items inside.
