"Your brother?" Luo Xiaolou's eyes widened. He had heard Yuan Nuo mention before that both Yuan Xi's elder brother and Yuan Nuo's parents were sacrificed in the war between humans and alien beasts, so Yuan Xi's treatment of alien beasts Hate is so strong. But what is the situation now? Why did the original big brother's name appear in the gray cave? Could it be just a coincidence
Yuan Xi's face was very ugly, and his hand holding Luo Xiaolou was even trembling slightly.
"Are you sure it's true—" Luo Xiaolou wrote earnestly.
Yuan Xi grabbed Luo Xiaolou's hand, interrupted Luo Xiaolou's continued writing, and quickly said: "There is nothing wrong with it, and his handwriting is still there. I can be sure that those two words were written by him."
Luo Xiaolou stared worriedly into Yuan Xi's eyes, his mood fluctuated too much, which is not a good sign. They have had enough hardships every day, the point is that if this is not true, Yuan will be hit harder.
"No, my brother is here, I have this feeling. So, before we leave, I want to find him. Or, to find clues that he has been here." Seeing Luo Xiaolou's worries and doubts, Yuan Xi said coldly, suppressing what was churning in his heart, anger or hatred. Maybe the last thing he finds will be a corpse or something he doesn't want to accept, but he can't pretend that he didn't see it. When he was very young, Yuan Che was judged to be sacrificed because he disappeared in the war. Although his parents didn't Say nothing, but he can feel the pain of his parents. Those people said that they were taken away by strange beasts, they might be killed, they might be eaten, or they might experience something worse than death.
But they couldn't save people. This kind of pain is more serious than losing their relatives. Even if they killed so many strange beasts or their subordinate beasts in the war, they could never find those relatives again. . Just like Yuan Nuo could only live with them since he was very young, and since then, Yuan Nuo, who loved to cry when he was a child, never cried again, and this is just the epitome of the entire empire.
Strange beasts are the mortal enemies of human beings, and since that war, there has been no room for change.
Luo Xiaolou flinched, pretending not to see Yuan Xi's eyes, and at the same time praying that Yuan Xi would not think of his blood, otherwise it would definitely be another miserable torture.
"However, I won't let them touch my relatives again." While saying this, Yuan Xi unconsciously rubbed Luo Xiaolou's body twice, his movements were gentle and warm, just like the relatives he said It looks like him.
Luo Xiaolou was flattered, he even had the desire to stick out his tongue and lick Yuan Xi's finger, but he quickly restrained this urge. This must be the instinct of the beast, not his own thoughts, this is really terrible!
After Yuan Xi entered the cave, he left Luo Xiaolou and 125 behind, and went into the depths of the cave by himself, probably looking for a place to vent his anger—Luo Xiaolou actually suspected that Yuan Xi didn't want to see him for the time being.
Luo Xiaolou asked 125 to take out the green material suggested by Master Yan that can exercise mental power, put it in front of him, and start to feel it. In fact, although he couldn't transform into a human form during his wandering life these days, he ate well and slept well, and his mental strength has begun to slowly recover.
However, without the source of consciousness, his current mental power is still too weak. Luo Xiaolou put his paws on the green and began to use mental power to sort out the materials. Now he can't even use mental power to cut, let alone the fusion and duplication of the two skills he mastered when he had the source of consciousness.
A small piece of green, Luo Xiaolou felt that his mental strength was strained when he combed it for the second time. This is like for a person who is used to spending money lavishly, suddenly restricting all pocket money, it is too painful.
125 looked at the side for a while, and comforted: "Don't worry, mental strength is the same as the source of consciousness, and it will gradually increase through training."
Luo Xiaolou nodded, took a deep breath, and began to slow down and concentrate more. After all, he is a person who is used to using the power of consciousness. Although he doesn't have much mental power, he uses it very skillfully and delicately. At least not like those young people who have just realized the existence of spiritual power, they will not waste mental power in many unnecessary places.
When combing for the third time, Luo Xiaolou's head began to feel dizzy, which was a manifestation of exhaustion of mental energy. Luo Xiaolou simply stopped and lay down on the ground to rest.
125 walks around beside him, collecting everything that interests him. Unknowingly, the range of 125 picking up things is getting bigger and bigger, and it even turned a corner. As it stooped to dig a rock with its tail up, the tip of its tail swept over something protruding from the stone wall behind it. That thing was exactly the same color as the stone wall, but when 125's tail swept past, it moved involuntarily, and slowly opened its mouth following 125's moving tail.
After closing his eyes and resting his mind for a while, Luo Xiaolou felt that he had almost recovered and got up to continue sorting out the materials. In the past, they could use that extreme method to improve their abilities so that they could go out earlier. Of course he has to work hard, at least to send Yuan Xi away. It turned out that it was because of him that he was trapped in the gray hole. Luo Xiaolou believed that he had to take responsibility for it.
Luo Xiaolou began to repeat this process, sorting out the materials repeatedly, and only took a break when he was extremely tired. Two hours later, Luo Xiaolou felt that the hair all over his body began to curl due to sweating. In the end, he couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep directly. Before going to sleep, he thought vaguely that Yuan Xi forgot their lunch because he was angry...
After an unknown amount of time, there was a faint smell of blood in the air, Luo Xiaolou's ears trembled, and he judged from the sound of footsteps that Yuan Xi had returned. When he was still in a daze and didn't have time to open his eyes, a hand touched his stomach.
Smoothing the hair with a very light force, Luo Xiaolou stretched out his limbs more comfortably and stretched his neck.
During the rare warm moment between these two people, an unfamiliar voice sounded—125 has always been like this, which is why Yuan Yuan did not allow him to sleep at their feet.
Luo Xiaolou immediately turned over and sat up, looked at Yuan Xi who was watching him with deep eyes, called out, and ran towards the direction where 125 made the sound.
Yuan Xi's voice came from behind, "Don't you think it has always made a fuss, I bet it didn't encounter anything at all."
Luo Xiaolou didn't stop, 125 was still calling for help in an exaggerated tone, even if it had always been unreliable, he was not going to let the story of wolf coming happen. And now is a critical period, the guy at 125 has zero combat effectiveness and no self-protection ability at all.
When running around the turn, Luo Xiaolou saw a green figure running towards him.
125 ran in panic, calling for its foster caretaker. The moment he saw Luo Xiaolou appearing, 125 was depressed to find that he couldn't even climb onto Luo Xiaolou's shoulder like before. It rushed over without slowing down, picked up Luo Xiaolou, who was about the same height, and continued to flee for his life, but the name in his mouth had been changed to the original name, and he continued to call for help.
Luo Xiaolou was facing behind 125, and a gray mass was chasing after him quickly. With slender tentacles, tangled with each other but moving forward together. Although I can't tell the difference between the head and the tail, it looks menacing.
"What the hell is that?" Luo Xiaolou cried out.
"I don't know! I don't know! I didn't do anything!" 125 screamed.
The moment the thing was about to entangle the two of them, a black dagger was swept down, and the gray tentacles shrank back suddenly as if consciously.
Yuan Xi stared at the gray mass warily, but it didn't go back, but seemed to be observing here, waiting for an opportunity to move.
Luo Xiaolou and 125 stood not far from Yuanxi, watching nervously.
The whole thing seemed to be solidified, but a tentacle was quietly moving along the rock wall to the original side, and this guy actually knew how to slap.
Yuan Xi still stared at the subject opposite him as if he couldn't see, but behind his left hand he made a gesture to Luo Xiaolou and 125 not to speak.
In the quiet and weird cave, the gray tentacle finally touched Yuan Xi's feet slowly, and then triumphantly popped out a long and thin straw-like tip from the top, and quickly stabbed at Yuan Xi's leg.
Luo Xiaolou and 125's eyes opened wider and wider. At that moment, Yuan Xi's left foot suddenly moved and stepped on the tentacles that he didn't look at without hesitation, and then swung the black sword down, not polite at all. Cut off that part.
The whole group of gray shadows shook like sifting chaff. Although they didn't make any sound, it must have looked very painful.
125 whispered in Luo Xiaolou's ear: "Suddenly, Yuan Xi's belly became black..."
Luo Xiaolou was silent for two seconds, "I don't think so, this has happened at least a few times."
In his busy schedule, Yuan Xi turned his head and gave those two warning glances, damn it, why did he have to be upright with his opponents!
After that, the gray shadow went mad because of the injury, and a group of tentacles surged up.
The black sword in Yuan Xi's hand was too powerful, and Yuan Xi had already gained some understanding of his current physical condition, so he could barely hold on.
Huiying's IQ is obviously not as good as that of the squirrel, at least the squirrel still knows how to escape, but Huiying has no intention of doing so at all, and only a short part of the tentacles that have been entangled with Yuan Xi all over his body are left to move. In the end, he was completely unable to move under Yuan Xi's sword.
However, this took up a full afternoon of the past! Until now, neither Luo Xiaolou nor Yuan Xi had time to have lunch.
Yuan Xi killed that thing and lay down on the spot. He didn't suffer any injuries, but he was very tired.
125 felt guilty and didn't even dare to go over.
Luo Xiaolou took the water and food that Yuan Xi handed him, and brought them to Yuan Xi's mouth before eating by himself.
Yuan used to move his sore limbs, he didn't feel annoyed, on the contrary, this thing was more powerful than the squirrel, and gave him more inspiration. "Speaking of which, isn't Fatty Green a household robot? Even Yunxiao can't move, why is he so cute?" Yuan Xi looked at 125 suspiciously.
God, he doubted it at last!
125's whole body stiffened, and he stammered, "Ah, yes, I'm a household robot, that's right! I—I not only use an energy box, but also a part of me is an instrument, yes, it's like a clockwork that can move That kind of toy!"
A drop of sweat dripped from Luo Xiaolou's forehead, 125 Where is your backbone? ! Don't you have the ability to act because of the blood of the alien beast
Yuan Xi glanced at 125 suspiciously, then turned his attention to the things on the ground.
"What the hell is this guy?"
125 leaned over, turned over the corpse on the ground, and then pulled out a gray spherical thing from the thing. It peeled off the gray skin outside, revealing a white stone.
"Power stone?" Luo Xiaolou said in surprise, Li Jie once showed them what the power stone looked like.
Yuan Xi took it over and looked at it, then picked up the tentacles on the ground to observe, and said, "It seems that this gray thing is the guardian plant of the power stone. We accidentally got a power stone."
This is a good thing, anyway, after two days, they will also go to D area.
Taking the two squirrel corpses with them, Yuan Xi and Luo Xiaolou returned to the out-of-bounds area.
For the situation that Yuan returned empty-handed every time, other people saw it, and their eyes had changed from contempt to sympathy.
When exchanging drinking water with Li Jie and the others this time, Li Jie couldn't bear it anymore and asked him if he wanted to exchange some food. Yuan Xi shook his head, but when it was time for dinner, Xiao Qiao insisted on bringing over a dinner.
Yuan Xi didn't refuse. If he didn't change the food, he would be suspicious. At worst, he would pay for the dinner with other things tomorrow.
The next day, Yuan Xi continued to go to the squirrel cave. This time, there were even a few gangster-looking people walking around the entrance of the cave, and saw that Yuan Xi was only hunting squirrels before leaving. The screening assessment will be carried out soon, they pay more attention to energy stones, and have little interest in other materials.
On this day, Yuan Xi killed seven squirrels. One is because he has figured out a set of simple movements, and the other is because he already knows too much about squirrels, knowing their movement habits and weaknesses.
Luo Xiaolou combed the piece of green thoroughly, and he changed another piece. To his surprise, every time he exhausted his mental power and restarted after a break, his mental power seemed to increase slightly, but the increase was so small that he had to observe it several times before he could confirm it.
That night, Yuan Xi came back with more water, and brought back a small amount of food by the way. After all, the nutritional pills were not as good as the food.
On the last day, Yuan Xi finally entered the crowded first-level power stone area.
Bypassing the bustling crowd, Yuan Xi walked in, a few people behind him gave each other a wink, and one quietly followed behind Yuan Xi.
Seeing that Yuan Xi had found a quiet corner and started attacking a guardian animal, the man couldn't help curling his lips, alone, how long will it take to fight. After waiting for more than ten minutes, he walked back and forth a few times, turned and left.
After he left 125, he poked his head out from the side and took back the snake vine in his hand. This is another surprise. The snake vines raised in 125's captivity are actually very adaptable to the environment here. When they came out of 125's small warehouse, they appeared to be alive and well, but now they have become natural protective equipment.
Yuan Xi didn't even look at those people, if they really dared to come up to rob, at worst they would practice their hands. This kind of thing must not be tolerated, no matter what reason they use, if there is a first time, there will be a second time.
Guarding animals seems to be easier to deal with than guarding plants. Yuan Xi kills two in one day, and there is still an hour before the time to leave. Since he didn't have time to kill another one, Yuan Xi simply chose to go back early. Three first-level energy stones were enough for him.
Although other people went to collect energy stones collectively, it would not be difficult to get them together after a long time. The reason why they came here every day was because they had to hand in one energy stone every day after entering Zone D, and this was the place where they could not afford to spend it. If you are kicked out because you can't pay, you have to pay three first-level energy stones when you go in again.
When Yuan Xi left, a few gangsters followed behind for a while, and finally got together to mutter.
"There is no energy response, it seems that this kid didn't hit a piece."
"Yeah, why are you so weak?"
"I think he's probably already made up his mind to be a servant, that's what he looks like, tsk tsk."
Yuan Xi didn't hear it. Although he didn't change the food that night, Li Jie and Xiao Qiao also invited him to have dinner together. Li Jie said that this was probably the last meal they had together, and they were going to enter D area tomorrow.
Yuan Xi hummed, but didn't say anything.
Li Jie and Xiao Qiao shook their heads secretly when they saw Yuan's act of feeding the pet in their arms at the dinner table.
On the second day, Li Jie had finished packing, Xiao Qiao was afraid of inconvenience, so she specially put on Li Jie's clothes and hat, and disguised herself as a boy.
At the gate of D area, Li Jie took Xiao Qiao to hand in the energy stone and entered D area. Looking at the spacious streets, neat houses, and peaceful and prosperous appearance, Xiao Qiao blushed with excitement.
Li Jie's ears were sharp, and he heard the complaints of several people behind him.
"Damn it, that kid actually came in too, he was fooled that day!"
"That's right, I don't know how he got it together in three days."
"Maybe someone sent it."
Li Jie turned his head abruptly, and saw Yuan Xi walking forward leisurely and gracefully with a white-haired animal in his arms. He changed into neat clothes, which made him even more handsome.
