Lin Jiaoyue reached over the head of the sheep-head prosthetic body, held Li Shenghe's face, and touched his forehead.
"Do not cry."
The hot tears are like a collapsed dam, constantly releasing floods.
Lin Jiaoyue looked at him quietly, the body temperature coming from above her eyebrows intertwined with hers, as if she was telling her grievances.
They continued this position for a long time, until Li Shenghe slowly stopped crying, and she let go of him.
Li Shenghe didn't speak anymore. He lowered his head quietly, his eyes blank, as if he was looking at something, but also as if he was looking at nothing.
Lin Jiaoyue held his hand and ordered the sheep-headed body to continue moving forward.
Along the way, she continued to hunt spiritual beasts and put them into her bag. When the raw materials were collected, she would refine them into her prosthetic body when she had time.
Soon they came to the source of the abnormal movement.
This is a pool of water located in a clearing in the forest.
Who is the pool? It's not quite accurate, because it is too big. The pool connects the surrounding forests, leaving only a little open space for transition.
Lin Jiaoyue glanced at the weeds growing by the pond. The dense and green weeds had been trampled to pieces. In some places, they were cut directly from the middle. The cuts were neat, as if they had been injured by sword energy.
A few drops of blood were splashed on the grass blades further away.
Lin Jiaoyue stretched out her tentacles.
——It’s snake blood.
——Seven-scaled poisonous leaf snake.
Lin Jiaoyue's tentacles were equipped with many strange skills.
As a researcher in her previous life, this skill of identification was indispensable no matter what.
She added similar abilities to her tentacles, which could record and match biological information. As for the information database, she needed to improve it bit by bit.
Just in time, she killed one on the way over.
Lin Jiaoyue scanned the surrounding area with her naked eyes. The tentacles behind her spread out with her thoughts, and the spiritual consciousness attached to them spread out and scanned the entire place.
"Do these things in Yueyue have any spiritual consciousness attached to them?"
Li Shenghe, who had not spoken for a long time, spoke softly. He touched those weird and twisted things, as if he was touching Lin Jiaoyue's body.
Lin Jiaoyue paused in her search and turned to look at him.
"Yes, each tentacle is controlled by my spiritual consciousness. My spiritual consciousness is separate, like a thread, one by one, each one has its own consciousness."
"So... each tentacle represents that they are a piece of Yueyue's consciousness... Are they called tentacles? Isn't it called hands? The way Yueyue and I talk is different..."
Li Shenghe's voice was delicate and soft. He lowered his head and never looked at Lin Jiaoyue.
Lin Jiaoyue found a drop of human blood not far away. After she ordered a spiritual sense to identify it, she turned to look at Li Shenghe.
Li Shenghe was still lowering his head, rubbing the lines on the tentacles with his soft fingertips.
"Because I'm not like that." Lin Jiaoyue looked at his lowered head, "I don't need to seduce you to do things you don't like, and I don't need to say idiotic words anymore."
Li Shenghe's fingertips trembled slightly. He said nothing, but suddenly tightened the tentacle in his hand.
Lin Jiaoyue's head tilted slightly, and she raised her eyes to look in the direction where human blood was spattered.
The extended consciousness feedback information came over.
——The main body, this blood is a bit similar to Hehe's, it's a kinship.
——Brotherly relationship...ah, but not very brotherly.
——Idiot, they are half-brothers!
In this world, there is only one person with the same father and mother as Li Shenghe.
"Hehe, we have to go find Phoenix quickly. Someone got here first. If we are slow, we will be gone."
As Lin Jiaoyue spoke, she expanded her consciousness to find the hiding place of Phoenix's corpse.
She turned her back to Li Shenghe, and it seemed like a long time passed before a low "hmm" came from behind her.
After a while, Li Shenghe's soft voice came again.
"The Phoenix corpse is just a legend. No one has ever found any relevant clues."
He paused and then said: "But Yueyue is different, maybe, maybe we can find it."
