Chapter 227 Searching for People
Jia Xitong circled around the perimeter several times.
Unable to find Shang Yanting anywhere, she steeled herself and dove downwards.
There are many, if not many, corpses in here.
Most of the corpses were charred, with only a joint bone and teeth remaining. She dived deeper and deeper, and saw faint red lights shimmering at the very bottom of the water.
It's Shang Yanting!
Shang Yanting was completely naked, but he had hands and feet.
"call!"
Jia Xitong breathed a huge sigh of relief, "That scared me to death, glug glug..."
You can't talk underwater.
She had barely uttered two sentences when water rushed towards her mouth, nose, and even ears.
Fortunately, it was just a puppet; even if it had senses, it was still just a puppet.
Jia Xitong took out a rope, tied one end to Shang Yanting's chest and armpits, and looped the other end around herself. With the help of spiritual power, her four legs seemed to have a motor, floating on the water and carrying him upstream.
We've made it ashore.
It's still raining!
Jia Xitong dragged the man to the shore, covered him with a raincoat, then crawled inside and lay on his chest, listening to the rhythmic beating of his heart.
Still alive!
"That's how you don't embarrass yourself as the main character."
Jia Xitong covered Shang Yanting completely with a raincoat, and after confirming that there was no one else around, she jumped into the lake again.
She swam back into the water, her wings illuminating the path ahead, and returned to the present Shang Yanting.
When she kidnapped Shang Yanting, there was an egg behind him.
The ostrich eggs were so big that she couldn't bring them with her earlier, so she made a special trip downstairs.
Everyone else was burned to ashes, but this egg and Shang Yanting remained intact. Shang Yanting could be explained by his status as the main character, but this egg must be explained by its status as a treasure.
She held the egg in her arms and swam towards the shore on her legs. Once ashore, she could see clearly that the egg had a bright red surface, was smooth, and felt warm to the touch.
Is it alive?
Legendary monsters, cheat codes, and the Heavenly King's Demise flashed through Jia Xitong's mind. She then took out her small backpack and put the large egg inside. (The Sumeru Talisman cannot contain living things.)
As she was carrying her backpack and considering how to take Shang Yanting away, a rough roar came from the nearby mountains.
"Small bucket!"
"Brother Yan!"
"Small bucket!"
It's Niu Chuanchuan!
He didn't actually leave all night.
But because the mountain path was slippery from the rain, he slipped and fell, crashing into a protruding rock and lying unconscious on the ground for quite some time.
"We're here!"
Jia Xitong shouted at the top of her lungs.
After a while, a dark figure was seen approaching.
Niu Chuanchuan was soaked to the bone, covered in mud from head to toe. His head was wrapped in a cloth, from which blood was seeping out—the spot where he had been hit.
Compared to Niu Chuanchuan, they were both in a sorry state.
But at least we found the person.
Jia Xitong took out the Water Cloud Boat, and Niu Chuanchuan carried the person onto it. They returned to the agreed-upon inn in the pouring rain.
Take a hot shower and change your clothes.
With her body hair completely dry, Jia Xitong felt like she had lost five pounds!
On the other side
Shang Yanting was still asleep on the bed.
Jia Xitong checked him again. His heartbeat and pulse were normal, except for a bright red spot the size of a tangerine in the middle of his chest.
It was flashing there, and it looked a bit like Ultraman.
Is it a treasure I obtained?
Jia Xitong placed her paw on his chest, and the next second her paw was burned.
one time.
It must really be a treasure, right?
While she was worried, she suddenly remembered that her soul could return to Shang Yanting's sea of consciousness.
Chaos arises in the midst of busyness.
She closed her eyes and entered Shang Yanting's sea of consciousness as before.
Then he was kicked out.
Try again
I still got kicked.
An external force is entangled within his body.
"System, why can't I return to Shang Yanting's sea of consciousness?"
In a panic, Jia Xitong summoned the real system.
[Because you have acquired dragon blood, while the dragon blood is stabilizing your soul, it is gradually severing the connection between you and the male protagonist's consciousness.]
She hadn't noticed before because it had been a long time since she had returned her soul to Shang Yanting's sea of consciousness.
"Is there any other way for me to go back?"
Wasn't becoming an independent individual what you had hoped for?
"...But it has to be a person, right?"
Now she's a bear!
"I'll tell you about this later. Can you take a look at Shang Yanting and see what's wrong with him? Why has he been unconscious?"
The system cannot answer any questions outside the scope of the original work.
"Will he be in trouble?"
[He's the male lead; according to the world's operating rules, that's impossible.]
"oh oh."
Receiving affirmation from the true system, Jia Xitong felt much more at ease.
But it lasted for three whole days.
She stayed at the inn for three whole days, taking care of him without taking off her clothes. Shang Yanting, however, remained unconscious, and the Ultraman light on his chest never stopped flashing.
At this time, the wound on Niu Chuanchuan's forehead had scabbed over, and Qu Changxi had taken two doses of medicine and was able to get out of bed and walk around.
He was helped by Qu Tingting to see Shang Yanting. "The medical level here is extremely poor, and it will not help Brother Yan's injuries at all. My elder sister is skilled in alchemy and has extremely high medical skills. Brother Yan was injured while saving me, so I can ask my elder sister to treat Brother Yan's injuries."
"Yes, yes."
Qu Tingting nodded in agreement, "Moreover, this place is a mixed bag; today I saw some people loitering around our doorway occasionally."
