"Brother Yao~Brother Yao is not good!"
Chen Yao was frightened by this anxious cry, and then subconsciously protected the beaker with his palm.
"What's wrong? What did Yina eat up again? No, we have nothing left to eat..."
"It's Jiu Jiu... that rabbit, it went crazy! It wanted to eat Xiao Qing! But Brother Tiger caught him! Brother Tiger even got bitten a few times!"
"What?!"
Chen Yao was startled and quickly put the prepared diluted holy water into a bottle and sealed it, put away his things and walked out quickly.
As soon as he came out of the ruins, he saw Jiang Hu squatting next to the bonfire, using a cloth to bandage the wound on his palm. The gray rabbit with his hands and feet tied next to him was struggling, making humming sounds from time to time.
"How are you, Xiaohu, are you okay? Why didn't I hear anything?"
The ruins were only thirty or fifty meters away from the camp. Chen Yao really didn't hear any movement just now.
"It's okay, brother, it's just a minor injury. I was afraid of disturbing you, so I didn't say much, hehe."
"You are such a tiger! If you have any shortcomings, your father won't give me away!"
Chen Yao was about to squat down to see what was going on with Jiujiu, when he raised his eyes and noticed Yina, who was standing aside with her head lowered and saying nothing.
"Well...fortunately, it's not a big problem. Nana, what's wrong? Are you okay?"
Chen Yao was about to reach out and touch her, but was dodged by someone who stepped back.
"Brother...I'm sorry...tweeted...disobedient..."
Yina huddled her hands in front of her chest. This insecure look made Chen Yao's heart twitch.
He took a step forward and knelt down, holding Yina's little face in his hands. Yina tried to hide but couldn't. When Chen Yao saw the two water marks on her face clearly, he couldn't help but feel a stab of pain in his heart.
"Brother... I'm scared... it's become so weird... it never bit anyone before... it's... very well-behaved..."
"Trust me, okay? I can cure Jiu Jiu."
Chen Yao gently wiped away the tears that had overflowed from the corners of Yina's eyes, straightened her face to face him, and said firmly.
"Really?"
"Really! How could I lie to you?"
"Very good..."
Yina pounced into Chen Yao's arms and almost knocked Chen Yao down.
Hiss...is this girl so strong...
"Okay, be good, don't cry anymore. Here, these are for you. You and your sister can go over there and play."
Chen Yao called Yue Li and stuffed the remaining berries into the two of them.
"Well...thank you brother!"
"Let's go! I'll take you there to play!"
"be safe."
"I know! Brother Stinky! He just knows how to make Yina happy!"
Seeing the two sisters cheering like elves, Chen Yao's heart finally settled.
"I don't see you being so caring when my sister is sad."
"How can you not? Are you obviously jealous?"
"Hmph! Really?"
A dangerous light flashed in Qiu Yunxi's eyes.
"Uh hahahaha, the weather is really nice today... right Xiaohu?"
Chen Yao poked Jiang Hu who lowered his head and pretended to be stupid.
"Yes, yes, brother, but the weather seems to be like this all the time..."
................................................................. ...
"What are you going to do?"
"Take a look at this rabbit first. If it doesn't work, stew it!"
Chen Yao said bitterly while rubbing the red mark on his arm.
"Oh? Then your little Yina is going to be so sad?"
"Well...let me see..."
Chen Yao knelt down and looked at the tweets on the ground where he was tied up and put to play.
"Well...the color of the eyes has become darker, and the fur has begun to turn black. It looks a little serious..."
Chen Yao tried to open the Eye of Secret to see if he could analyze its status.
--------------------------
Hare (status: irritable???): recognition rate 64% (from biological knowledge)
A docile hare enters an unknown state by eating certain plants.
--------------------------
"It's not good. That plant is probably contaminated with a dark aura..."
"Can the light of life dispel this situation?"
"I'm afraid not. In fact, essentially, the life attribute does not restrain the dark attribute, so this won't work. Why not... try this."
Chen Yao raised his hand and took out the newly prepared diluted holy water.
"What's this?"
"Holy water, this is what Chenxing sent people to look for. You can understand it as some kind of concentrated sacred liquid. I diluted this bottle. I don't know how effective it is. Just try it on it."
Chen Yao took out the dropper and sucked a small amount of liquid from the bottle.
"Xiaohu, hold down its head and open its mouth. Yunxi, hold down its body and stop it from moving."
The two of them worked together to restrain Jiu Jiu, who started to struggle wildly. After this guy took out the holy water from Chen Yao, he became obviously more irritable.
"Hurry, brother! This guy is quite strong!"
Jiang Hu pressed his elbows on Chiu Jiu's head, and used a lot of force with his two palms to open its mouth.
"The power brought by the dark breath is really terrifying, hehe, but that's about it!"
Chen Yao stretched out his hand and quickly dropped the liquid from the dropper into Jiujiu's mouth. The moment the liquid touched it, a small stream of black smoke quickly dispersed from its mouth, and Jiujiu also seemed to be in great pain. Struggle!
But this struggle came to an abrupt end after a black mist dispersed, and the blackness in its eyes began to fade away, turning back to normal brown at a speed visible to the naked eye, which meant that the dark aura that had penetrated the body had been basically eliminated.
Seeing that Jiujiu fell to the ground and seemed to have fallen into a coma, the two of them let go of their hands and sat slumped aside, gasping for air.
"This power is so abnormal."
Qiu Yunxi frowned.
"Hey, have you forgotten the old Li from before? This is the consequence of being eroded by the dark atmosphere. He gains extremely terrifying power at the cost of gradually losing his mind."
Chen Yao put away the holy water and looked at Jiu Jiu who was lying on the ground.
"It should be fine now, right?"
"It's okay. He should be relatively weak now. He'll be bouncing around after just two days of feeding."
"Lili! Come back!"
Yue Li, who heard the shouting, took Yina and ran back all the way.
"What's wrong, Brother Yao?"
"Gu?"
Xiaoqing on the shoulder also imitated Qiu Yueli's movements and tilted her head.
"You are becoming more and more like your mother."
After scratching the little guy's chin, Chen Yao couldn't help but complain.
"Of course! Who does he look like unlike me? Huh? Why is Jiujiu not moving?"
"Tweet...are you dead? Woo..."
Yina knelt down and caressed Jiu Jiu gently. She was about to cry when Chen Yao shot Yue Li on the forehead.
"Ah, it's disgusting! Don't knock me! My head will be damaged by your knocking!"
"Use the light of life to treat Jiujiu. He is a little weak now."
"Not... dead?"
Chen Yao also knelt down and rubbed Yina's head.
"Of course! Jiujiu has been cured and will be the same as before in a few days. How could brother lie to you?"
"laugh!"
After hearing the answer, Yina happily rubbed Chen Yao's cheek.
A gentle green light shone down, and after a while, the weak little guy began to breathe evenly and steadily, seemingly falling into a peaceful sleep.
"Okay Lili, it should be fine now."
Just as Chen Yao asked Yue Li to remove the light of life, Yina in front of him pulled his sleeve.
"Chiujiu...why don't you get up?"
"It was tired and fell asleep. It will be fine when it wakes up."
"Is it... the same as mom?"
Ina kept stroking the little guy, and her eyes began to become blurry.
This question made Chen Yao stunned for a moment, and then his heart felt cramped again.
Perhaps because of guilt, or perhaps because he felt sorry for the little girl in front of him, Chen Yao suddenly took Yina into his arms. He swore that he had never had such a strong desire to protect someone.
Chen Yao ignored the environment in which this girl grew up. Her mother's white lies and survival instinct drove her to live tenaciously. The only person who accompanied her when growing up was a dumb rabbit.
"Yes, Yina, just like mom."
"Brothers and sisters will always be with you."
"Uh-huh!"
--------------------------
After everything was prepared, Chen Yao led a few people towards the ancient building where the monster was located as planned. However, on the way, Chen Yao still asked the question that he had always cared about.
"Well... Lili, Yina seems to talk more than before... I mean vocabulary."
"Of course! Hum, it's not my sister and I who taught us well! How could you know this when you are so busy all day?"
"Yes, yes, teachers Lili and Yunxi taught me well."
"whee!"
Seeing the triumphant look of the girl in front of him, Chen Yao stretched out his hand, but then he paused and just gently pinched the soft flesh of Qiu Yueli's cheek.
"By the way, Brother Yao..."
"ah?"
"What if...what if your plan fails? Will you and Brother Xiaohu be killed? Although they are bad guys, they seem to be very strong..."
"Don't worry, I have a remedy."
Chen Yao comforted.
His so-called remedy is to call Mr. Mirror in times of crisis. The success rate is very slim, but his plan is essentially a gamble, but he dare not explain it for fear of worrying them.
"That's it, okay then..."
"Well, Nana, can my sister teach you how to read?"
"good..."
Yue Li, who was still thinking one second, ran to Yina the next second. This girl... is really weird.
"Here, look, this is the plum fruit you just ate, and it's written like this."
Qiu Yueli said while drawing words on Yina's palm.
"Li...Guo..."
"Look! This is a berry..."
................................................................. ...
The journey from the ruins of the church to the ancient building only took about ten minutes. When several people came to this place again, they still felt a little chill down their spines.
The thick stone door in front of me was still half-covered, and the darkness revealed was equally deep and terrifying.
"This guy should be hungry now, right?"
Qiu Yunxi held the bow and arrow diagonally with both hands, as if ready for war.
"Hehehe, of course, all the edible food in it is already in my pocket, but it's a good thing to be hungry. You will definitely fight harder."
"You'd better pray that those two guys hold on for a little longer, otherwise your plan will be ruined."
"That's right, forget it, let's do business first."
"The secret is revealed!"
Chen Yao summoned the magic box in Rubik's Cube state, followed by another formula.
"Tianji, change!"
The suspended heavenly machine box changed for a while, and according to Chen Yao's conscious instructions, it transformed into a silver box that was open on one side and hollow inside. Other than that, the appearance did not change much.
Chen Yao suddenly discovered that the Tianji box was different from the previous one, that is, the light ball in the Tianji box was missing, but then he turned his palm as if he remembered something, and the patterns and light spots engraved on the palm suddenly made him enlightened.
"That's it... After the Tianji box is bound to the host, the core will remain in the body..."
"Are you really not going to be exposed like this? This shouldn't be opened like this, right?"
"Hmm... probably, this thing is so valuable to Chenxing, most people must not know how to open it."
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you! Let's see how you end up when the secret is revealed!"
Qiu Yunxi snorted coldly and took Yueli and Yina to the hidden snake forest on the other side according to the agreed plan, and then walked alone to the edge of the jungle opposite the building.
Indeed, this plan can be said to be full of loopholes, and he was betting on most of the key points, but he had no choice.
Sighing, Chen Yao first placed the Tianji box about three meters in front of the stone gate and fiddled with it twice to pretend it was abandoned casually.
Then came the most critical step. Chen Yao, Jiang Hu and the others first used the broken branches to clean up the footprints of everyone nearby, and then Qiu Yunxi forged a complete trail from the woods into the building.
With two light jumps, Qiu Yunxi returned to the hidden position on the side. His footing was deliberately on his toes. At a glance, there was almost no flaw.
After confirming that there was no problem, Chen Yao took Jiang Hu back to the camp along the original route. The two people's footprints were deliberately left behind to ensure that the scene was realistic enough.
