"hiss...."
Chen Yao woke up from a shiver.
Opening his eyes, the top of the abyss was slightly bright, and there were only a few sparks left in the fire beside him. It seemed that it had just been extinguished. Yunxi Xiaohu must have bought more firewood last night.
Chen Yao sat up and tried swinging his right arm a few times. The injury no longer affected his basic activities.
It's about seven or eight o'clock in the morning, and Lili and Xiaohu are still sleeping soundly.
Standing up gently, Chen Yao came out of the camp and saw Yun Xi sitting on the top of the tall boulder in front of her. She was not wearing any equipment. From this position, she could only see her profile. At this time, Yun Xi's two pink legs were swaying. Chenyao's heart trembled for a while.
Yun Xi turned his head when he heard the noise.
"Are you awake? How are you?"
"Well, it's okay. It's just that I felt a little uncomfortable when I slept in my gear last night. My waist is a little sore. It's still not as good as at home outside."
Jumping off the boulder with a light leap, Chen Yao subconsciously raised his head, but couldn't see anything clearly.
"Oh, what a pity..."
Qiu Yunxi smoothed the messy plain clothes, his eyes gradually became dangerous.
"Well...I mean, the scenery of the Black Abyss is particularly beautiful at this time, isn't it? It's a pity that they are still sleeping and can't see it."
"Well, why did you take off your equipment? Don't catch a cold, you're wearing so little..." Chen Yao tried to change the subject.
"I'm used to it. In the past, when I did morning exercises in the village, I always wore light clothes because I would sweat a lot."
Yun Xi flipped up his hair and tied it up with a band, and did not continue the topic.
"Well... I'm going to find some firewood. When they get up, I'll have breakfast and set off."
Chen Yao walked around and prepared the firewood and water he would use in the morning.
He blew the sparks, ignited the firewood, and started a fire. The crackling sound woke up Yue Li.
"Hmm...haha~ Good morning, Brother Yao..."
After boiling the water, Chen Yao patted Xiaohu on the shoulder.
"Well...ah! It's already morning. Good morning, brother."
Chen Yao poured half of the boiled water into another pot.
"Come here and wash your faces."
A few people simply washed up, ate some dry food with water, and put out the fire.
After cleaning and packing, Yun Xi also put on his equipment. But before setting off, Chen Yao took out a wooden branch with sparks from the extinguished fire, held it in his hand, and then completely extinguished the fire.
"Let's go! It's time to go."
"Brother, where are we going?"
"Well, this..."
As he spoke, Chen Yao opened the map and first marked the location where Yue Li found the wild fruit. Then he followed the path he came from and marked the lizard nest at a location.
"Let's go to the lizard's lair again!"
"Ah! Brother Yao, we can't go hunting there anymore, so many strange beasts are too dangerous!"
"No, no, you misunderstood. I just went to do a simple thing, not to hunt. There are not many edible beasts under the black abyss. It would not be good for us to kill them all."
Chen Yao smiled and shook the wooden branch with sparks in his hand.
"Huh...I'm scared to death. I thought Brother Yao was still injured and was going to do something dangerous again!"
Yue Li patted her small chest.
"Well... of course not. I cherish my life. Yunxi, is there any way you can reach the vicinity of the nest? Ten meters, no! Twenty meters!"
"Can."
"Then let's go, let's go to the neighborhood first."
The group of people arrived behind the bushes where the alien beasts were lured last time. Chen Yao looked around and found that there were no traces of alien beasts around. It may be because there were two missing from the same race last time, and the alien beasts became more vigilant.
"Xiaohu, you and Lili wait here. Yunxi and I will be back soon."
"Brother, please be safe and leave this place to me."
"I know."
After passing through the bushes, Chen Yao and Yun Xi quietly walked into the gravel in front of the nest and stopped behind a stone.
"Where is the nest located?"
"About forty meters to the northeast. Just wait, I'll go observe."
Yun Xi lightly jumped onto the stone, crouched and observed it twice, then jumped down immediately.
"All six are near the nest, follow me."
After saying that, Yun Xi leaned over and walked towards the left, followed by Chen Yao.
"Here we are, if we go further in, we will be discovered by them."
"Yun Xi, if a powerful alien beast invades their territory, which way do you think they will flee?"
"What exactly do you want to do?"
"Tell me first, according to this terrain, which way they will flee."
"Did you see the trail on the left? There are only two paths in the alien beast's lair. One is the entrance, which is very open, and the other is the exit, which is very close to the lair and leads to the surrounding jungle. The path on the left is the exit of the lair. There is a high probability that they will Will flee this way."
"Then let's move a little further to the right. How about that boulder? I think I can climb it too."
Chen Yao looked around and pointed to a boulder about ten meters to the right. The boulder was about three meters high, with a flat top and a place for climbing.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
"Just take a look, hehe."
Chen Yao walked to the bottom of the boulder and climbed up with great effort. On the other hand, Yun Xi jumped up in three or two, and then crouched down.
"Quick! What are we going to do! There is no cover here. Although the alienated lizard has poor eyesight, it is still possible to be exposed!"
Chen Yao didn't say anything. He took out the smallest number "Wang Xiwang" he had made before from the binding ring, and carefully blew the wooden branches a few times to keep the sparks going.
"you think?!"
"Yeah, we just need to scare them away. Give me an arrow."
Yun Xi took out an arrow from his back and handed it to Chen Yao.
Chen Yao used rag strips to wrap and fix the Trumpet King Xiwang near the arrowhead, and broke it twice to make sure it was securely tied.
"Will this affect shooting?"
"There will be a little..."
"It doesn't matter, it just needs to be roughly accurate. When I tell you to shoot later, just shoot, towards...the location of the rocks, and try not to hurt them."
Chen Yao chose a relatively open location near the lair.
"..."
"Get your bow ready first."
Yunxi cocked the arrow and aimed at a good position.
Chen Yao used a wooden branch with sparks to light the lead in front of King Wang.
"laugh!"
The fuse at the top of the firecracker was lit.
"Yunxi! Cum quickly!"
"Phew! Dang!"
The arrow was firmly inserted into the ground near the nest, and the sound suddenly alerted all the alienated lizards.
"His! Hiss!"
With a few roars, all the alienated lizards quickly moved towards the location of the arrow, then lowered their bodies and stared at the arrow on the ground, not daring to make any other moves.
That is, just one second later!
"boom!"
Wang Zhiwang exploded with a bang, kicking up the surrounding stones and dust, mixed with firecracker fragments, and slapped the surrounding beasts hard, but it did not cause any substantial damage. This is what Chen Yao wanted, because this loud noise was for This group of alienated lizards is simply shocking!
Sure enough, after a moment of sluggishness, all the alien beasts became a mess and scurried around. At this time, one of the largest alien lizards roared several times, and all the alien beasts quickly rushed toward the exit near Chen Yao and the two of them. Rush, not long after, four adult lizards and two juvenile lizards disappeared into the jungle.
The two people at the top naturally took everything in their eyes.
"They really escaped from here, Yunxi, you are so awesome! If you had stayed in the same position just now, you might have been discovered."
Chen Yao turned his head and said excitedly.
Yun Xi pursed his lips and turned away. The atmosphere seemed a little strange at this moment.
"You drove them away because you wanted to get the things in the nest?"
"Well... adults say that the nests of the alienated lizards are made of gravel mixed with sticky saliva, and the alienated lizards also have the habit of eating minerals, so I wondered if there might be any treasures in the nest... "
"Just because of this, you drove them away?"
"It doesn't matter! They will definitely come back after it is safe. After all, this location is perfect for them to nest. I don't think they will give up easily. I am just taking something, not destroying this place."
Chen Yao stared closely at the one-meter-high and two-meter-wide nest under the stone wall, rubbing his hands excitedly.
"Let's go and call Xiaohu and the others."
"good!"
Chen Yao fell down the tree like a sow, then rolled around like a donkey, and finally stood up coolly and dusted himself off.
Yun Xi stood aside with no expression on her face, but Chen Yao could feel that there was a trace of... ridicule in her eyes.
"You can laugh if you want! Not everyone is like you..."
Chen Yao muttered angrily.
"Bah..."
Yun Xi opened her jade lips lightly, chuckled, and suddenly turned her face away. When she turned back again, her face was already cold again.
"Hehehe, that's right. You still look good when you smile. Don't be cold all the time."
Chen Yao touched his nose and said with a smile.
"I want you to take care of it, so hurry up and leave!"
"oh..."
After passing through the bushes, Xiaohu and Yueli were still there, but their expressions were a little nervous. Seeing that the two came back safely, Yueli immediately rushed forward.
"Brother Yao, are you and sister okay? We heard just now..."
"There was a loud noise, right? It was me, hehehehe."
Chen Yao put his hands on his hips and said a little proudly.
"Brother, what on earth did you do?"
"I scared away all those strange beasts. Let's go find the treasure!"
After Chen Yao explained in a few words, he hurriedly led a few people into the lair from the entrance. After all, those strange beasts might come back.
After carefully observing the area around the nest and making sure that there was no danger, Chen Yao quickly walked to the one-meter-high stone nest and looked around carefully.
From the outside, all the nesting stones were nothing special, and Chen Yao couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
Yue Li also looked into the nest, trying to help Chen Yao find something.
Chen Yao was preparing to jump over the circle with a ferocious pig and entered the nest to check...
"Brother Yao, wait! Look there! It seems like...an...egg?"
When Chen Yao heard the sound, he looked over and saw a bit of white among the dead leaves covering the bottom of the nest.
"Brother Yao, don't step on it when you go in!"
Turning over into the nest, he pushed aside the withered grass, and there was indeed an egg the size of a fist in front of him. He picked it up and weighed it. It seemed to have no weight. Chen Yao felt a little complicated. This was not a treasure.
To be precise, Chen Yao still feels a little grudge against this little thing. When he thinks that when this thing grows up, it will leave six rows of teeth marks on him with its three rows of sharp teeth, six rows! Countless holes! He was terrified.
"Why don't we bake this thing for a while?"
Chen Yao gritted his teeth and said.
"No! Brother Yao, you are so bad! You have made it have no family. If no one hatches it, it may die in a few days. You still want to eat it! Then I will never pay attention to you again. !snort!"
Chen Yao touched his nose awkwardly.
"Then... let Lili's mother hatch it. After all, these strange beasts will definitely not come back in a short time. If they stay here, they may be eaten by other strange beasts."
"Ah! What did Brother Yao say? I'm still a child! Besides, I don't know how to hatch it..."
Yue Li was actually speaking angrily just now, but when Chen Yao said this, she didn't know how to respond.
"Well... Actually, alienated lizards are the gentlest alien beasts under the Black Abyss. They just have a strong sense of territory. They won't attack unless they enter its territory. Moreover, I know that beasts have strange attributes. , a newborn beast will regard the first creature it sees as its mother."
Chen Yao actually planned to let Yue Li be his mother.
"If it hatches, hiss... Lili is so heavy, if you sit on it like an animal..." Chen Yao was interrupted before he could finish his words.
"Bah, bah, bah! Brother Yao is talking nonsense! I'm not serious, I'm not heavy, I'm not heavy! If you don't believe me, hug me! How can you say that to a girl!"
Yue Li rushed to the nest, opened her arms and raised her arms, as if she really wanted Chen Yao to hug her.
Chen Yao scratched his hair and hesitated, but in the end he gently held Yue Li's armpits with both hands, lifted the girl up, and then put her into the nest.
"Hmm...it seems to be very light. Yueli, you need to eat more..."
Chen Yao was about to touch his nose to relieve his embarrassment, but then he put down his hand as if he remembered something.
"Okay, let me think about it. If you hatch it, um... you have it! The light of life! Just use your light of life!"
"Ah! But I can't help you if you are in danger!"
"Who says it's not possible? Don't you just need to put your palms together and pray? Here!"
Chen Yao picked up the lizard egg, wiped it, and stuffed it into Yue Li's hand.
"Try holding it with both hands and see if you can use the protective barrier and use it on me."
"Okay...I'll give it a try..."
Yue Li closed her eyes, and after a few moments, a burst of white light flashed across her palms, and then a light film appeared on Chen Yao's body.
"Wow! It worked! It really works!"
"Look, I said it's okay, but it's a pity that there are no other treasures..."
Chen Yao turned around in despair. Because the light film on his body was a little bright, a small reflection appeared on the top of the inner wall of the nest.
"Huh? This is it?"
Chen Yao leaned down, pulled out his dagger and tapped the position with the hilt, and received a crisp dinging sound in response.
"Found it! It's really there! Hurry! Xiaohu, come in! Use your hammer to hit this piece hard, it won't be a problem if it breaks! Wait! Lili, step back a little."
"oh oh!"
Xiaohu climbed into the nest and pulled out the hammer, while Yueli stepped aside while protecting the egg.
"Hey! Tom! Tom!"
Xiaohu used two hammers with all his strength, but only caused a small piece of rock to break.
"It's so hard..."
"Yes, brother, and...I can't use your strength while you are here..."
"Okay." Chen Yao dug out of the nest, took Yue Li out, and the three of them retreated to the side of the nest.
"Okay! Look at me! Hey!" Xiaohu held the hammer in both arms, his muscles bulging, he raised the hammer high, and then he dropped the hammer!
"Boom!" This hammer was so powerful that a third of one side of the stone nest was blown to pieces. The rubble flew away and then rolled to the ground. Chen Yao could identify the pieces in the rubble at a glance. ore.
"Brother! Are you ready?"
"Okay, okay! Xiaohu, you did a great job!"
Chen Yao smiled and picked up the fist-sized piece of silver ore.
"It's actually a piece of mithril, haha, baby!"
Chen Yao held up the ore with both hands, as if it was a gift from the gods.
"Chen Yao, come over here." Yun Xi's cold voice instantly woke Chen Yao up.
"What's wrong?"
Walking quickly to Yunxi, he saw her standing next to the gravel, with an ordinary stone under her feet.
"Here." With a gentle push with his foot, the stone rolled in a circle and arrived at Chen Yao's feet. At this moment, the back of the ordinary stone was revealed, and the metallic surface was printed with regular longitudinal ripples.
"Ah...this is...magic patterned iron!?"
Chen Yao took away the mithril in his hand and hugged tightly the piece of corrugated iron ore that was a little bigger than his head.
"Baby! Baby! Hahahaha!"
"Hmph, put it away quickly, we have to go on our way."
"Yes, yes! Master Yunxi said yes!"
"....It's Yunxi."
"I know, I know."
