Chapter 414 - 140: [Monster Slave Master and Human Slaves]
Chapter 140 [Monster Slave Master and Human Slave] (7600)
The clothes Chen Yan wanted, he received them after all.
After the female monster left, she soon returned, threw a bundle of foul-smelling furs at Chen Yan, and instructed, "Don’t try to escape."
Then, this seemingly simple-minded female monster left, but clearly locked the door from outside.
Chen Yan sat on a pile of withered branches, holding the furs in his hands, and after a moment of silence, he took a deep breath and quickly put them on his body.
The clothes made from these furs were extremely rough in craftsmanship. Moreover, the leather processing was obviously poor, with a strong stench lingering from uncleaned subcutaneous fat, and inadequate dehydration during tanning likely caused the final product to reek.
But it doesn’t matter now.
Stench won’t kill you, but cold can really be deadly!
Chen Yan felt his body had lost so much warmth that he was on the verge of fainting again.
He confirmed one thing: although Essence Nourishing could make his physical body strong,
for insulation, even with a powerful physique, the effect didn’t seem great.
Increased muscle density doesn’t mean muscles become insulating; they can’t stop heat loss.
Isn’t steel hard? But it also conducts heat quickly!
The few pieces given by the female monster... hmm, barely called "clothing," had a very primitive and wild design, not even with buttons, just pull-over style.
The lower part was also designed like a leather jacket.
Chen Yan sighed, never thought he’d see the day he’d wear a skirt...

There are many people in this world with cold personalities—whether that’s good or bad is hard to say.
However, among those with cold personalities, many possess three merits.
They know how to control their emotions.
They rid themselves of distractions.
They quickly find important points and critical logical elements.
——Chen Yan is such a person.
·
After receiving the fur coat, he finally felt some warmth, and as his body gradually became less numb, Chen Yan consciously controlled his emotions.
Negative emotions are the most useless things in this world.
They only disrupt normal judgment and decisions—unless you’re on a battlefield as artillery.
So, even if he felt cold, tense, angry, confused...
Chen Yan quickly suppressed and eliminated these emotions.
Because at this moment, for his situation, these emotions were useless!
Of course, he was also full of questions.
How did he end up here, what is this place, what are those monsters?
Would Lu Sisi at home be worried after waking up and finding him missing?
All these questions were important.
But Chen Yan forced himself to set these questions aside!
The most crucial point now is just one: survival!
This is the core priority of the current situation! Everything else, put it behind!
So, once he felt warmth, Chen Yan began to check his injuries.
He suspected that his back might have been severely injured when he was hit by that force.
Fortunately, after deep breathing and trying to twist his torso, he preliminarily judged that he had no internal injuries.
Once he got warm, his back began to sting, but it should be just a flesh wound.
Feeling a bit dizzy, it should be aftereffects of being knocked out.
"I need to recover my strength."
Chen Yan made his first judgment.
So, he calmed himself down, suppressing his urge to break the door and escape immediately, or to explore more secrets and find answers... these thoughts were all rationally suppressed.
He sat cross-legged on the pile of withered branches, honestly meditating, trying to move Primordial Qi.
Of course it was to no avail.
Chen Yan confirmed again, he seemed to have lost control over Primordial Qi!
This place didn’t seem to have any Primordial Qi at all.
This situation resembled the Mirror World?
But it’s also different from the Mirror World—in the Mirror World, he could still use spells, but Primordial Qi couldn’t be replenished, each use reduced it more.
But here, not only can’t he move Primordial Qi to replenish himself,
he has completely lost his Mana!
He couldn’t even sense the Primordial Qi in his body—no, more accurately, he could sense it, but the Primordial Qi in his body seemed like it was in slumber, not responding to his control and summoning.
Aside from physical strength, Chen Yan became just an ordinary person.
Thankfully, although meditating couldn’t replenish Primordial Qi, the process had a meditative effect.
Chen Yan entered a blank state—this state could replenish physical strength and restore some mental strength.
This was what he needed now.
And even those withered branches beneath him, hard and prickly, sitting on them was actually uncomfortable, Chen Yan endured it.
These branches were clearly from those hard monster trees in the forest.
But... he felt the ground was very cold, sitting on the ground would cause him to lose heat quickly. So although the withered branches were uncomfortable, they at least insulated the cold.
Chen Yan’s willpower was quite good, and in a state of calmness bordering on coldness, he entered a meditative state.

Bam!
It’s unclear how much time had passed, but the cabin door was pushed open.
Entering was the female monster—this creature not only had a simple mind but also a somewhat reckless approach to things.
