"Don't be afraid, we're here. We'll never let you get hurt again!"
Shen Nanxing sheathed the knife in his hand back into the scabbard on his back, walked quickly to Jiang Nian'an's side, and took Xiaolongzhan from her arms.
The heavy weight caused a barely perceptible look of surprise to cross his eyes.
He glanced down at Xiao Longzhan's clothes, his eyes flickering slightly.
Although it was dirty and worn, it didn't feel old; rather, it looked like it had just been broken and dirtied.
Shen Nanxing's gaze then swept over Xiao Yin and the other two.
Finally, their gaze fell upon the eyes of the children looking at Xiao Longzhan.
A flicker of fervor and longing lingered in his eyes, as if something about Xiao Longzhan was drawing them in...
But Xiao Longzhan had nothing on him except for these clothes.
The little silver ones are clever; they couldn't possibly be after the dirty clothes. So what are they craving?
Shen Nanxing glanced at Jiang Nian'an one last time without making a sound.
An'an didn't seem that excited, but the little guy in her arms seemed to be overly excited again...
"Little Zhanzhan, quickly call him brother-in-law!"
Jiang Nian'an keenly noticed that Shen Nanxing's gaze towards them was strange, and quickly gave Xiao Longzhan a wink.
"Brother-in-law!!"
Upon receiving Jiang Nian'an's signal, Xiao Longzhan immediately looked up and sweetly called out to Shen Nanxing.
This address of "brother-in-law" successfully brought a pleasant smile to Shen Nanxing's face.
Never mind.
Although the little ones beside me and my own baby seemed to be deliberately hiding something from me, however...
It's okay. He said he would lie to An'an about anything as long as she didn't leave him.
With one arm around Xiaolongzhan and the other around Jiang Nian'an's waist, Shen Nanxing led the two toward the cave with a smile on his lips.
"Let's go check out that gray giant eagle and the mutated white vine spider."
From a distance, they look like a harmonious family of three.
The king, Little Silver, and Little Blood Fox hurriedly followed them as they climbed towards the cave.
The gray giant eagle was almost dead, its eyes closed, with only its chest rising and falling slightly as a sign that it was still alive.
A vine shot out from Jiang Nian'an's palm, piercing straight into the gray giant eagle's head and pulling out its brain core.
The gray giant eagle immediately died.
Jiang Nian'an glanced at the crystal core; it was slightly larger than a glass marble.
It is evident that this gray giant eagle is already at level two, but it has not undergone a second mutation and has not developed any special abilities.
Otherwise, they would have had a fierce battle today.
After all, winged mutant creatures can stay in the air and attack indefinitely.
It is easy to attack when low and easy to dodge when high, making it much more difficult to deal with than mutated creatures on land.
Upon entering the cave, Jiang Nian'an and Shen Nanxing immediately spotted the mutated white vine spider.
Just as Luo Yi and his sister had said, it had the body of a spider, but legs that looked like vines.
The two men stepped forward, squatted down on the corpse of the mutated white vine spider, and examined it carefully.
"Brother Chen, look—"
Jiang Nian'an pointed to several round holes at the junction of the mutated white vine spider's legs and body, a look of doubt flashing in her eyes, "These look like pinholes."
Shen Nanxing followed her finger and looked over. When he saw the round holes, his eyes narrowed.
He put Xiaolongzhan on the ground, reached out and grabbed the mutated white vine spider's leg, and pulled hard.
The mutated white vine spider's legs and body immediately separated, but not completely.
Because they are connected by five black tubes that resemble blood vessels.
Shen Nanxing drew the dagger from his waist and slashed it fiercely at the five black pipes.
The black tube immediately broke in the middle, and a sticky black liquid gushed out.
It had a strange, putrid smell.
Xiao Longzhan immediately covered his nose, and the three kings also took a few steps back.
They are not human, but have an extremely sensitive sense of smell.
The stench, which was still within Shen Nanxing and his companion's tolerance, was simply unbearable to them!
Shen Nanxing poked the black tube with his dagger.
It's soft, but very elastic.
"It seems to be made from the blood vessels of some kind of animal," Shen Nanxing guessed.
【elder sister! 】
Just then, Xiao Longzhan's voice suddenly appeared in Jiang Nian'an's mind.
Jiang Nian'an was somewhat surprised.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Longzhan was still able to communicate with her using his consciousness even after leaving the space.
【What's wrong? 】
Jiang Nian'an also used her consciousness to restore him.
[This slime smells like those little black balls; this ugly spider must belong to the same owner as the mutated vine from before.]
Xiao Longzhan had already retreated outside the cave, breathing heavily as he spoke to Jiang Nian'an.
"Hiss~"
Xiao Yin and Da Wang also spoke up one after another, saying the same thing as Xiao Longzhan.
"Brother Chen, Little Silver and the King said this slime tastes the same as those black balls..."
After relaying their words to Shen Nanxing, Jiang Nian'an looked at the black tube and said, "Moreover, this slime is very similar to the slime on that mutated vine."
“Yes,” Shen Nanxing nodded, “It should be just as Luo Yi said, these strange things were all created by those madmen.”
