Chapter 29

"Aren't we going to get rid of them?"

Gu Yuan glanced at Xiang Haoyu and the others who seemed to be waking up, and couldn't help feeling puzzled. His sister obviously wanted to kill those people, so why did she stop when she was about to take action?

"It's not possible right now." Gu Qi shook her head slightly. She had just tried it, and the barrier had become much weaker but was still there, making it impossible for her to kill Xiang Haoyu.

Xiang Haoyu is not dead, and Liu Yun does not plan to move for the time being. She still wants to keep this time bomb with Xiang Haoyu. She believes that Liu Yun will not let her down.

Suddenly thinking of something, Gu Qi asked the mutant wildflower Lanlan to find a way to control them for a while longer. After getting a positive answer, he said to Gu Yuan and the others, "Brother, you try to see if you can deal with Xiang Haoyu."

Gu Yuan followed his words and transformed the supernatural power that had been condensed in his hand into a wind blade and shot it towards Hao Yu.

Didn’t win.

Several wind blades aimed at Haoyu's eyebrows, neck and heart missed him due to a sudden misstep. They only made shallow cuts on his body, which were not enough to cause him to lose too much blood.

With the strong physical fitness of the psychic, those wounds will probably heal in no time.

Gu Yuan frowned slightly, his face showing confusion, "How could this happen?"

"You guys try it too," he said to his teammates.

Gu Qi didn't say anything, but he already had the answer in his heart. His brother's teammates probably couldn't do it either.

As expected, no matter whether Dai Yishen and others used their supernatural powers or weapons directly, they could not hurt Xiang Haoyu. Either he dodged them inexplicably, or they suddenly slipped and missed.

Not to mention killing Hao Yu, it would be difficult to even leave a wound on him.

"Master! Lanlan can't hold on any longer. Those two humans you asked me to pay special attention to are acting strangely. My powers are inexplicably weakened when used on them. It's like something is helping them resist."

The voice of the mutant wild flower Lanlan sounded in Gu Qi's mind.

"They are almost awake, let's go into the valley first." Gu Qi stopped those who still wanted to try.

A few people looked at Gu Yuan first, and after receiving an affirmative look, they stopped and followed Gu Qi into the valley.

Gu Yuan looked back at what Xiang Haoyu was holding and asked, "Aren't you going to take the jade buckle back?"

"Look what this is." Gu Qi spread out her palm, and the familiar jade button of peace was lying quietly in her palm.

Gu Yuan looked at the jade buckle in her hand, then at the one in Xiang Haoyu's hand, and couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't seem to see any movement from his sister, and she didn't even get close to Xiang Haoyu.

Could it be that the one in Xiang Haoyu's hand is just similar to their family's ancestral jade buckle? Gu Yuan speculated in his heart.

Gu Qi, who saw what he was thinking, shook his head slightly and said, "I just changed it."

After figuring out the source of Xiang Haoyu's so-called spatial ability, Gu Qi had an idea in her mind. It happened that the cave was upgraded to level 2 and unlocked the second-level tool library, allowing her idea to be implemented.

The one Xiang Haoyu is holding now also has storage space, and the size of the space is exactly the same as her peace jade buckle. It was temporarily imitated by Jiu Cang. Gu Qi also asked Jiu Cang to move some supplies over to prevent Xiang Haoyu from noticing anything wrong.

As for the missing supplies?

Jiu Cang deliberately made some disguises on the Ping An Jade Buckle, and she also modified some of Xiang Haoyu's memories, so that he would think that it was the Ping An Jade Buckle that warded off the disaster for him.

In this way, the space jade button in Xiang Haoyu's hand is related to Jiucang. No matter what he puts in it, Jiucang will know and take it away quietly without leaving any trace.

Gu Qi raised the corners of his lips slightly.

I thought to myself, doesn’t Xiang Haoyu always like to rob or steal other people’s things, and act like everything he gets is his? I wonder if he will still think the same when the things he worked so hard to get are taken away?

There are many adventures and many treasures to be gained, right?

From now on, it's all hers.

Gu Qi glanced at the jade buckle in Xiang Haoyu's hand and his arrogant expression, and the smile on the corner of her lips deepened a little. Don't let her down...

When Gu Qi and others entered the valley, their figures disappeared, and Xiang Haoyu and others who were trapped in the illusion gradually woke up.

The first person to wake up was Liu Yun.

After taking a quick look at the surrounding situation, she reacted extremely quickly, slashing her arm with the dagger in her hand, and then stuffed it into the hand of Zhang Lie, who had turned into a zombie, and exerted force with her hand to make him hold the dagger tightly.

With another push, Zhang Lie rushed towards Xiang Haoyu holding the dagger.

Just at this moment, Xiang Haoyu woke up and saw Zhang Lie, who had inexplicably turned into a zombie and wanted to kill him. The injured Liu Yun quickly stood in front of him and drew her knife to cut off Zhang Lie's hand.

It was just because the situation was too urgent, even though Liu Yun reacted quickly, she was accidentally scratched by Zhang Lie again.

"Ayun!" Xiang Haoyu quickly stepped forward and pulled Liu Yun away, then hit Zhang Lie on the head with a thunder ball, killing him directly, and at the same time quietly put away the jade buckle in his hand.

Meeting Xiang Haoyu's nervous and moved eyes, Liu Yun secretly felt relieved, knowing that her plan had succeeded.

Without looking at what Haoyu had hidden, she only secretly took note of the green object. Liu Yun showed a worried look and exclaimed, "Brother Hao, you're hurt!"

"Hiss..." Xiang Haoyu took a breath in pain, turned his head palely and looked at his lower back, gritted his teeth and said, "I was wondering why I just felt something was wrong with my body."

"Let me heal you first." Liu Yun put her hand on his waist, and gentle energy went to his wound.

Xiang Haoyu showed a touching look and said, "No hurry, Ayun, you should treat your injury first."

Even so, his movements didn't show any sign of rejection. Seeing this, Liu Yun rolled her eyes inwardly. Without showing any emotion, she said in a gentle voice, "We seem to have been trapped in an illusion just now. I don't know where Gu Yuan and his men have gone. I don't know if they were the ones who did this behind the scenes."

"It shouldn't be them." Xiang Haoyu glanced around and pointed at some traces on the ground. "They must have been chased into the valley by the swarm of mutant bees."

Liu Yun looked over and nodded in agreement, "It seems our plan was successful."

"What, what happened?" The girl's terrified voice came from the side.

Liu Yun glanced at the steel bar in her hand, recalled the two wounds on Zhang Lie's body who had turned into a zombie, and said nothing.

She lowered her eyes to hide the murderous intent in them, thinking that she would deal with this bitch who had caused her to lose a useful chess piece later.

Xiang Haoyu naturally noticed this as well. His eyes were a little complicated, and he did not comfort the other party as he did in the past.

This person cannot be kept alive. Xiang Haoyu thought that she could attack Zhang Lie today after falling into the illusion, but who knows if she would attack him and Ayun in the future?

Noticing the looks in their eyes, the girl looked down, her expression instantly becoming a little panicked, and she subconsciously let go of the weapon in her hand, "I..."

The girl wanted to explain, but just as she opened her mouth, she heard a buzzing sound getting closer and closer.

When she turned around and saw the source of the sound, the girl's face turned paler instantly. Without even screaming, she turned around and ran in the direction she came from.

A swarm of bees were flying towards this side aggressively, and the air was filled with a strange and tempting sweet fragrance, which made the three of them look dazed for a few seconds.

Soon, Xiang Haoyu and Liu Yun reacted and without even bothering to observe their surroundings, they ran outside together, trying to get rid of the overwhelming swarm of mutant bees.

Don’t look at the low level of these mutated bees, but there are many of them!

Even though Xiang Haoyu was confident in his extraordinary strength, he did not dare to confront so many mutant bees head-on. Last time, they only dared to catch a few mutant bees secretly and did not dare to enter the valley, for fear of being discovered by more mutant bees.

"Wait for me!" The girl came to her senses and hurriedly chased after him.

None of the three noticed that a petite figure hidden in the dense swarm of mutant bees was quickly approaching the girl.

Xiang Haoyu and Liu Yun also did not notice that the imperceptible silver light in their ability cores had become a little bigger.

While Xiang Haoyu and others were fleeing in a panic, Gu Qi and others in the valley were happily eating meat-filled wheat buns, drinking honey water, and enjoying the beautiful sea of flowers.

"Is this really happening?" Dai Yishen murmured in disbelief. "Am I really not dreaming?"

They actually sat in a row in the sea of mutant flowers, eating, drinking and enjoying the view! The mutant wildflowers didn't attack them, but instead gave them honey water in a well-behaved manner!

I guess no one would believe this if they said it, instead they would think they were crazy, right?

"Hmm... these steamed buns are really delicious. I think I can eat twenty of them in one go even without adding meat!" One of the team members exclaimed as he ate with shining eyes.

Seeing that the steamed buns and meat on the plate on the table were almost finished, Gu Qi took out some more and added some more, saying, "Eat as much as you want. I think we can go back after we finish eating."

As for why it developed like this...

That all started when they entered the depths of the valley and Dai Yishen smelled the aroma of honey and his stomach suddenly made a growling sound.

It just so happened that Gu Qi was a little hungry, so Jiu Cang made a lot of steamed buns and put them in the storage space of the cave. If they were not consumed, the storage space would be full of steamed buns, so they had the current picnic.

As for the meat filling, it was from a group of mutant domestic pigs that Gu Qi happened to encounter on his way to the Hope Base. After purification, it is edible and has no fishy smell. It tastes good no matter how it is cooked.

Gu Yuan glanced at the team members and warned them, "No one is allowed to leak what happened today."

"Don't worry, Captain. I'm very tight-lipped."

"I promise I won't say a single word about it in my dreams!"

"Me too, I won't tell anyone even if I'm drunk!"

"Come on, where are you going to get drunk?" Someone rolled his eyes when he heard this.

The man who had spoken earlier hummed, "Not even in dreams?"

Looking at the harmonious atmosphere between them, and the fact that although they were laughing, the way they looked at Gu Yuan revealed their hard-to-conceal respect and admiration, Gu Qi felt a little relieved.

Speaking of which, she also saw a familiar person among these people.

An acquaintance she had met many times when she was following Xiang Haoyu in her previous life.
