Wu Jie smiled helplessly. This Queen of Eight Desires was really...

He knew very well that creatures like these were generally very vigilant. If they were not careful when facing powerful predators, their lives would be in danger. Without some powerful means of survival, they would not survive.

How to catch it? Wu Jie thought for a moment, and then a blue light flashed in his hand, and a gun appeared in his hand. This was a net gun. Wu Jie took advantage of the mysterious creature enjoying its food and quietly grasped the gun in his hand...

But then he put the gun down again. Facing such a little guy, he decided not to use such a cruel capture method. He wanted to try his own way.

So he sat up suddenly, stretched himself out, and let out a long groan.

"Ah——" Wu Jie stretched deliberately. He wanted to see the reaction of the little guy.

The little guy didn't expect that one of the two strange creatures suddenly woke up. He was immediately frightened and turned around and tried to escape with a chirp.

The Queen of Eight Desires didn't expect Wu Jie to be so reckless. Wouldn't this scare them away?

But Wu Jie didn't bother to care what Queen Bayu thought. Looking at the little guy running away, Wu Jie just followed him in one step.

But when he left, Wu Jie also took away a few spiral plants. He had some ideas that he wanted to try out.

This little guy is incredibly fast. Although it is small, its speed is not much slower than those crystal beasts Wu Jie has seen.

Following behind the little guy, with Wu Jie's current skills, it was no problem for him to catch up with him. But to Wu Jie's surprise, the little guy's nest seemed not too far away, just in a crack not far from their campfire.

No wonder they chose to come here to steal food instead of going downstream... Wu Jie took a look, walked to the crack, placed the plant in front of the hole, then hid and observed secretly.

The creatures here are probably not civilized yet, so they may not know the existence of artificial traps and artificial baits, and perhaps they are less vigilant about them.

This seemed to confirm Wu Jie's thoughts. When the creatures here set traps, they would generally ambush near water sources or food. He had never seen a crystal beast deliver food to the door. The little fellow, smelling the scent, unexpectedly came straight out of the cave.

Their vigilance is really low... It may also be related to experience. After all, they have never seen this kind of method, and their intelligence may not be developed yet.

At this time, Wu Jie came out again with a bunch of plants in his hand. The little guy was frightened and immediately shrank back.

Wu Jie smiled, squatted at the entrance of the cave with the plant in his hand, and held it in his hands, just waiting quietly. He was not in a hurry because he wanted to test where the limit of this little guy was.

What made Wu Jie somewhat helpless was that the little guy was like a newborn calf that was not afraid of a tiger. Looking at Wu Jie's tall figure, he was not afraid at all. He jumped out of the cave again.

It looked at Wu Jie, then at the food in Wu Jie's hand, and seemed to be hesitant about whether to eat it...

Perhaps it is really primitive enough. The creatures here are so powerful, but they seem to have no self-awareness and are so open-minded towards strange existences.

Out of hunger, the little guy finally chose to trust Wu Jie. It didn't seem to want to go downstream to find food. Wu Jie guessed that there might be other predators in the underground world, and Wu Jie might have just not encountered them.

The little guy opened his mouth, kept chewing the food, and jumped happily. Wu Jie took this opportunity to slowly stretch out his hand and wanted to touch it.

At this moment, the little guy suddenly let out a low whimper, which sounded like he was angry and afraid...

Wu Jie then said, "Don't be afraid. I have no ill will towards you. I just want to touch you. I will never hurt you..."

Of course, Wu Jie knew that wild beasts could not understand human language, but Wu Jie knew one thing, that there was a certain kind of induction between living creatures. When you had no evil thoughts towards it, the coordination of sound and action would make it feel your intentions. This had been verified by animals on Earth.

Although he didn't know whether the creatures in the crystal world had similar sensations, Wu Jie believed in it, believed in the power of life in the universe.

Sure enough, as Wu Jie's voice appeared, it seemed to understand what Wu Jie meant. Its eyes, which had become hostile, regained their previous agility and began to eat again.

Just like that, Wu Jie finally touched the little guy's head...

It feels warm and smooth to the touch, and it feels like touching a piece of warm, moving jade. It's a really wonderful feeling.

"Can I hug you?" Wu Jie suddenly asked.

But the little guy ignored Wu Jie and just continued with the movements of his mouth, as if he was enjoying the moment.

Wu Jie felt happy. This little guy was really good at taking things as they come. So he stretched out his hands and tried to pick it up. It didn't resist. Wu Jie just held it and fed it while walking back the way he came.

As for the Queen of Eight Desires...

That human disappeared again. Looking at the lonely burning bonfire, the Queen of Eight Desires was a little absent-minded, as if she remembered her days in the abyss.

At that time, in order to seek a breakthrough, she competed for the throne with more than a dozen sub-kings. The battle was extremely brutal. The only person she could trust was herself.

Along the way, she had sacrificed so much for the throne, fighting all the way to this day, and had never stopped to think about what she wanted or what she wanted to do...

Only after becoming queen did I have enough time to think...

Revenge? In their world, there was no need for it. Ever since her mother's death, she had never thought of revenge. Growing up in that environment, her heart was as cold as iron. Her mother's death was just a necessary stepping stone on her path to growth.

To ascend to the throne, all sacrifices are worth it, even sacrificing one's own family. However, after participating in two consecutive wars, Queen Bayu began to tire of fighting for some reason. She was a young king, and should have been the most courageous, which was why she was ostracized by the other kings.

It was understandable that the Sixth King was tired of war, but as the new king, he became a supporter of the war-weary faction, which the other kings could not understand or tolerate.

Perhaps it was because of her mother, perhaps because she was an innovator, or perhaps because she was rebellious, but many Indians had different opinions. But she wanted to be herself. As a member of the new generation, she had different ideas from the old ones, and there were indeed secrets unknown to others, known only to her.

Just as the Queen of Eight Desires was daydreaming, a figure suddenly emerged slowly from the darkness.

"Hmm?" Surprise flashed across her eyes. This human was always unexpected...
