Chapter 33 Xiaoju is back



Yu Lili had not expected the accident of falling from the tree, and more importantly, she had not expected that this battle would affect her.

But Yulili, who was falling down, was not very worried about herself. She was more worried about the fruit that she had accidentally dropped from her hand just now. She didn't know if she could still eat it if it fell on the ground.

As for herself?

Yu Lili saw the wild boar's gaping mouth and fangs getting closer and closer to her. She also saw Rong Jing running towards her quickly. She even saw a yellow... tiger? Cat? about her waist height pouncing towards her.

But the time was too short and they didn't have time to come over.

Just as the Yuliliren was about to fall into the wild boar's mouth, she suddenly twisted her body to an incredible angle, and her foot just stepped on the wild boar's tusks.

The wild boar's tusks stuck out, and Yu Lili stepped on the curved part of the tusks to gain leverage, and when she jumped up, she just avoided the wild boar's mouth. After she landed, the wild boar chased her and bit her again, but she had already run away quickly.

Rong Jing breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Yulili leave safely, and then half of her attention fell on the wild boar, and the other half... fell on the animal that suddenly jumped out.

For some reason, she always felt that the orange animal looked familiar.

Carp fish are different.

She recognized people and animals not only by appearance but also by smell, so when such a large creature jumped out, she was stunned for a moment and then hesitantly called out, "Xiaoju?"

Little Orange? ?

Before Rong Jing could be shocked, the wild boar, thinking that Yu Lili was a soft persimmon, had already rushed towards Yu Lili. Rong Jing's heart tightened, and she rushed over as well, ignoring everything else and stabbed the wild boar's butt directly with a knife.

Wild boar:?

It let out a scream. Even though it had a lot of flesh on its butt, it didn't mean it didn't hurt!

The wild boar, whose hatred value was pulled back, turned around and rushed towards Rong Jing.

Having consumed a lot of the wild boar's energy before, Rong Jing didn't continue to walk the pig, but she still had to dodge. However, after dodging, Rong Jing would stab it with a knife. If it was shallow, it would just break the skin, and if it was deep, it could penetrate two inches into the flesh.

The knife was never empty.

In addition to Rong Jing, the enlarged Xiaoju also pounced on the wild boar to bite it. Compared with Rong Jing's restrained threat, the wild boar felt that Xiaoju posed a greater threat to it.

Yu Lili, on the other hand, hid a little further away. She watched Xiao Ju pounce on the wild boar and saw several wounds on the wild boar caused by Xiao Ju's bites. She also saw the wild boar bump into Xiao Ju. Her eyebrows jumped fiercely and she shouted, "Xiao Ju, come back!"

However, Xiaoju, whose reason had been swept away by anger, did not react at all and just stared at the wild boar biting it.

This won't work. Xiaoju doesn't care about her own safety at all. She keeps avoiding the wild boar's attacks. Even if she wins in the end, she might still have more wounds on her body.

Rong Jing also noticed this. Although she felt that it was too... incredible that Xiaoju had grown up all of a sudden, she could still see Xiaoju's appearance if she looked closely at the big cat, and it had indeed been helping her.

In addition, Rong Jing could handle this wild boar by herself, so she shouted directly to Yu Lili: "I'll find a way to lure the wild boar away, and you take Xiaoju away then."

However, things are not that easy.

The wild boar had already bitten Xiaoju to the point of bleeding, and several wounds were also bitten on Xiaoju's body. Although they were not deep, blood was still coming out.

Not to mention that the smell of blood is more attractive to wild boars, the wounds caused by Xiaoju to the wild boars also look more ferocious on the surface. For some reason, the wounds caused by its bites are also more painful, which has already aroused the wild boar's hatred.

So even though Rong Jing thought of a way, and even left a long and deep wound on the right side of the wild boar's body, most of the wild boar's attention was still on Xiaoju.

Xiaoju has grown so big that it would be difficult to take it away even if Yulili wanted to forcibly take it away.

Unless you use demonic power.

Yu Lili gritted his teeth and was just about to decide to ignore everything else and use his magic power to take Xiaoju away when he saw Xiaoju's body suddenly stiffen.

The wild boar was rushing towards it. With Xiaoju's speed, he could have avoided it, but his body stiffened and he couldn't avoid it.

At the moment when Yu Lili was about to release the magic power that he had prepared, Xiaoju's body suddenly shook, and then the small Xiaoju that was so big suddenly became... the size of a three-month-old kitten?

No, wasn’t Xiaoju the size of a normal adult orange cat before?

How can it get smaller?

But it just got bigger, so it's not impossible for it to get smaller, right?

Yu Lili was in a trance, but her actions were much faster than her brain.

The shrunken Xiaoju fell in mid-air, just avoiding the wild boar's attack. Yu Lili's figure flashed, and he picked up Xiaoju, who was about to fall to the ground, at a faster speed than before. He bent down to avoid the wild boar's attack again, and with his other hand, he pulled on the wild boar's fangs, used the force to straighten his body, twisted his body and dodged again.

The wild boar, which was supported by Yu Lili, paused for a moment. At that moment, Yu Lili ran away, and Rong Jing took the opportunity to hit the wild boar's neck hard.

No matter how big the wild boar is, its neck, heart and head are its fatal points. If it is hit by someone suddenly in such a fatal point, especially when Rong Jing has a longer weapon similar to a saber in his hand, the weapon will penetrate nearly three inches.

The wild boar felt threatened, and its hatred finally shifted to Rong Jing.

The fight between Rong Jing and the wild boar became more and more intense, and Rong Jing had the upper hand.

Yu Lili carried Xiao Ju out of the battlefield and found a safe place where he could still see Rong Jing's condition. Then he looked down at Xiao Ju: "Xiao Ju? Are you feeling unwell?"

The little orange cried out weakly, and his pitiful and sticky look was strangely cute.

"Look at the wounds on your body..." Before he could finish his words, Yu Lili was stunned.

She had clearly seen several wounds on Xiaoju's body before, but now there were only some bloodstains on its fur, and the wounds on its body had disappeared completely.

"Meow..." Xiaoju rubbed his head against Yulili. As his body became smaller, his voice seemed to become even softer.

"Eat something first." Yu Lili suppressed his doubts and took out a ghost shadow vine and gave it to it.

Xiaoju, who had been listless before, instantly became energetic when he saw the Ghost Shadow Vine. He nestled in Yu Lili's arms and chewed on the Ghost Shadow Vine.

Over there, Rong Jing fought with the wild boar and finally ended the battle by stabbing the knife into the wild boar's eyes.

Yu Lili, who had been paying attention to Rong Jing, walked over immediately, but saw Rong Jing pull out a knife, then grab the wild boar's hind legs and drag it towards Yu Lili.

"Let's go find a place to deal with the wild boar." Rong Jing said.

"Okay." Yu Lili looked at the huge wild boar and couldn't help swallowing, "I'll help you drag it."

"No need," Rong Jing stopped her hand: "Just hold Xiaoju tightly."

Yu Lili didn't insist. Her eyes sparkled, "What do you think of the effect of the Ghost Shadow Vine?"

"...very good." Rong Jing could only say this. After pondering for a moment, she said, "I feel like my physical strength has improved a lot. My speed and strength have also increased to a certain extent."

But the most important thing is physical fitness.

Rong Jing used to feel that although her physique was good, she always felt that her stamina was not strong enough. It was probably because her original body did not replenish enough energy before, so although her physique barely reached A, it was relatively weak.

Now it seems that some of it has been made up, making Rong Jing feel that her strength is more stable.

This should not only be the effect of the Shadow Vine, the herbs like before should also be effective.

"Great, as long as it's useful." Yu Lili counted on his fingers, "I'll give you most of the Ghost Shadow Vine, and give a small portion to Xiaoju for fun. You can add one each time you eat. This box should last you a month or two. Then we can look for other good things."

"...Me and Xiaoju? What about you?" Rong Jing didn't expect that Yulili had never thought of sharing this mysterious shadow vine with her.

"I have eaten the Qianling Flower, so I'm not in a hurry now." Yu Lili smiled. What's more, she got something more important to her, so she could just ignore the Ghost Shadow Vine.

Rong Jing saw that Yu Lili really didn't intend to keep it for herself, and her eyebrows jumped: "You found this thing, you helped the mutant turtle get it, it originally belonged to you. You can give me some of it, but you shouldn't ignore yourself."

"Hey?" Yu Lili didn't understand why Rong Jing suddenly became serious.

Rong Jing looked at Yu Lili's bewildered expression, but her tone remained serious. "Lili, you have to know that this planet is very dangerous. Although you are lucky... it would be safer if you had a higher strength. There are a lot of these ghostly shadow vines, and I am strong enough to protect myself now, so I hope you can improve your strength."

She was scared when Yu Lili suddenly fell from the tree today. Besides, as she said, this thing was found by Yu Lili and taken by Yu Lili. Strictly speaking, it had nothing to do with her.

Even Qian Linghua was recognized by Yu Lili before, otherwise she probably wouldn't have even taken a second look at her.

"But I can run very fast. I don't need to fight them. It doesn't matter if I can't win, as long as they can't catch up with me." Yu Lili said confidently, then smiled again: "Besides, we are partners. Of course, you will have a share of what I find."

Rong Jing: "But..."

"No buts." Yu Lili winked at Rong Jing and smiled: "Besides, next time you may not be able to eat what I find, so I won't leave it for you then."

Rong Jing was both angry and amused, but she also knew that what Yu Lili said made sense.

What's more, Yu Lili leaned close to her ear and whispered, "And it also gave me a gift, so you don't have to worry."

Gift?

Looks like something better.

Rong Jing thought for a moment and asked, "Would you like to have a barbecue on the stone slab tonight?"

"Hey?" Yu Lili's eyes lit up: "Delicious?"

"Yes." Rong Jing said, "I'll cook you some rice."

Yu Lili's eyes became brighter.

Rong Jing smiled and rubbed Yu Lili's head. "I'm going to go out and look for iron ore or something like that tomorrow. This pig can be fried into a lot of oil."

"Okay." Yu Lili nodded vigorously and said, "I'll help you find it."

——

Rong Jing said that pig blood was also a delicious food. After leaving the battlefield for a distance, she cut a knife on the wild boar's neck and took a bamboo tube to collect the pig blood.

However, out of the corner of her eye, she saw Yu Lili with a look of regret on his face. She was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"It lost so much blood before and we didn't catch it. What a waste."

Rong Jing: “…”

She was accustomed to Yulili's logic and tried to comfort him: "This wild boar is very big. The remaining blood is enough for us to have two or three meals."

"Then no matter how much, it's never too much." Yu Lili muttered.

Rong Jing: “…”

She simply called Yu Lili to help deal with the wild boar.

Rong Jing almost didn't want the internal organs because they were too troublesome to deal with. Besides, they were now in the wild, and the wild boar had a strong smell of blood, so they couldn't stay here for long, so Rong Jing almost only kept the wild boar meat.

After the internal organs were removed, the little blood left in the wild boar's body had almost solidified and would not drip everywhere.

Rong Jing tied up the wild boar with vines, closed its cut belly, and then gave half of the vines to Yu Lili to drag it, and she dragged the other half herself - Yu Lili insisted on helping.

As for Xiaoju, Yu Lili stuffed him into his coat again.

Not to mention, Xiaoju is not that heavy after becoming smaller. Yu Lili feels that her clothes are not weighed down by the weight and she is much more comfortable than before.

This place is not far from the cave, but by the time they reached the cave, Yu Lili's palms were already red.

The wild boar was dragging itself along on the ground, and the wounded parts of its body were covered with leaves and stones. Rong Jing generously cut off that part and buried it.

The fire started again in the cave, and Rong Jing began to deal with the wild boar.

The hair on the wild boar skin needs to be burned off, and the wild boar needs to be divided into pieces. The ones that will be eaten in the next few days can be set aside, and the lard that can be used for frying oil or large pieces of fat are also kept separately. The rest are smeared with salt and prepared to be pickled and air-dried.

As for Yu Lili, Rong Jing assigned him the task of manually husking wheat.

After Xiaoju ate a ghost shadow vine, his body did not grow bigger, but he felt much better.

After being lightly scrubbed with water by Yu Lili, it helped husk the wheat next to Yu Lili.

These wheats are relatively large, about the size of soybeans, and it is not difficult to shell them one by one. Xiaoju had a lot of fun.

Yu Lili placed the hulled wheat kernels in a basin. She waited until the basin was full before stopping. At this time, there were about four-fifths of wheat kernels left. Yu Lili asked Rong Jing, "Is this enough?"

"You only need a little bit to cook porridge." Rong Jing laughed. She said, "But I have to cook rice tomorrow anyway, so this is just right."

After saying that, Rong Jing continued to process the wild boar meat.

She moved quickly, and the wild boar meat didn't need to be handled too carefully, so she was almost done.

However, she suddenly heard Yu Lili exclaim, and when she looked up, she saw Yu Lili staring at a grain of wheat between her fingers with a look of disgust.

"What's wrong?" Rong Jing was surprised, wondering if there were worms in the wheat grains.

Little did she know that she would hear Yu Lili's unhappy voice: "This is not tasty."

"...That's not meant to be eaten raw." Rong Jing knew Yulili was greedy, but she didn't expect her to actually take a bite of anything. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Next time you come across something else, don't just stuff it into your mouth. Some things are poisonous."

"Ah..." Yu Lili said with a guilty conscience: "I only tried it because I knew it was edible."

"I'm also talking about food. Some things can be eaten raw or cooked, but not half-cooked."

"Yeah, yeah, next time I'll definitely ask you before eating something I don't recognize." Yu Lili nodded obediently.

"Okay, I'm almost done here. Go out and find a piece of stone slab. It should be relatively thin and flat." Rong Jing assigned Yu Lili some more tasks to do so that she wouldn't want to try strange things when she was idle.

When Yu Lili came out of the cave, she saw that it was already late outside, so she put Xiaoju on her shoulders. After becoming smaller, Xiaoju fit perfectly on her shoulders and was not as heavy as before that could crush one shoulder.

The kitten is very small, and its tail is swinging all the time. Its fur is a little long, and when the wind blows, it will brush against Yulili's face, which is a little itchy, but also very pleasing to the eye.

It took Rong Jing a while to find the stone slab carp she wanted. It was an oval-shaped stone slab, about the size of a basin.

The stone slab was about as thick as her palm and was very flat. Yu Lili lifted the stone slab directly and saw a round ball underneath.

Before she could see clearly, the little orange on her shoulder jumped down, grabbed the ball, and started playing with it with its paws.

"Xiaoju, we want to go back." Yu Lili shouted.

Xiaoju looked up at Yulili, then looked down at the ball. He opened his mouth and wanted to bite the ball, but the ball was the size of an ordinary duck egg, and Xiaoju couldn't bite it at all after it became smaller.

Then it tried to roll it up with its tail, but the ball was too smooth and it slipped down as soon as it rolled it up a little. Xiaoju tried very hard, but the ball just couldn't be picked up. It had no choice but to look at Yulili with a pitiful and expectant look.

"Pfft." Yu Lili was amused by it. She had put down the slate when she was watching Xiaoju's show just now. She didn't want to continue teasing Xiaoju at this time. She bent down to pick up the ball and put it in her pocket. She picked up Xiaoju and put it on her shoulder: "Hold on tight. Let's go back first. I'll give you the ball after we go back."

"Meow." Xiaoju rubbed Yulili's head to please her. It happened to rub Yulili's ears. Her ears were sensitive and trembled. She felt a little itchy. "Don't move. I'm still moving things."

Xiaoju then sat up straight, but his eyes kept looking down towards Yu Lili's pocket.

When they arrived at the cave, Xiaoju couldn't wait to jump off Yulili's body, and circled around Yulili's feet, meowing, just wanting to get the ball.

Yu Lili was so entangled that he couldn't walk, for he was afraid that he would step on an orange.

She was both angry and amused: "Okay, okay, I'll go into the cave and put my things down first. Don't hang around my feet, or I'll step on you later."

Xiaoju stared at Yulili eagerly, looking back every few steps as he walked into the cave.

She looked like she was afraid that Yu Lili would cheat on her?

Yu Lili muttered, "You little heartless one."

Humph, isn't it just a ball? She doesn't like playing with balls, and besides, is she really going to fight with a little kid for something?

Yu Lili carefully placed the slate next to Rong Jing: "Rong Jing, can you take a look at this?"

"Sure." Rong Jing glanced over and saw Xiaoju staring at them eagerly. She was still confused when she saw Yu Lili take out a ball from his pocket.

As soon as the ball was taken out, Xiaoju next to him became instantly excited and pounced on the ball.

Yu Lili was caught off guard, his hand shook, and the cat and the ball fell directly to the ground.

Fortunately, the ball is made of metal and should not break - as soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Yu Lili heard a slight clicking sound.

And it came from the ground.

Yu Lili slowly lowered his head and saw the metal ball crack.

So she broke Xiaoju's toy?

Just as this thought came to his mind, Yu Lili heard a metallic voice from a young boy.

"Beep, the program is starting—it's started successfully, Suzaku has successfully awakened."

The author has something to say:

Ding, little Suzaku is here to report.
