Chapter 240 Lizard 10
Yu Mo lost her freedom.
With his identity exposed, Min Xi worried constantly about the young female leaving him. He even took her with him when he went hunting. This cost him the chance to hunt wild animals, so he began setting traps in the dense forest to capture prey. Sometimes, when he encountered ferocious prey, Min Xi would place Yu Mo in a safe tree and then give chase.
If it exceeded the safe distance he set, he would give up and return to Yu Mo to continue waiting.
Yu Mo didn't care about this at all. She forced herself to adapt to Min Xi's intimacy. Even when she was held in Min Xi's arms, she was still able to concentrate on repairing the satellite phone. Just a few days ago, the crackling sound on the other end was finally replaced by a familiar female voice. It was her senior sister.
She shed tears of excitement. Although the two of them couldn't say a few words, this undoubtedly gave her hope.
She imagined the most horrific outcome: the ship heading to the Devil's Sea would be taken to another world, she wouldn't be the only one in the lifeboat, but she would be swept away by the waves, and there were even strange lizard-people on the deserted island. This made her think too much. Fortunately, she contacted her senior sister and learned that some of the research institute staff had arrived safely at the research base, and her teacher was contacting people to rescue those who fell into the sea.
"Yu Mo..." Min Xi scratched Yu Mo's neck with a flower.
Yu Mo just turned her head slightly to avoid him and continued to fiddle with the black box. He rubbed his face against her cheek, but Yu Mo pushed him away with her hand, saying "Stop it".
Min Xi was unwilling to give in. His head was covered with black hair, like short stubble. This was why he was able to deceive Yu Mo. If one ignored his limbs and scales, he really looked too much like a human.
He began to rub the back of her ears with the fluff on his head, which was her sensitive part. Sometimes he couldn't suppress the desire to get close to Yu Mo, so he would press her down on the stone bed and make out with her. When he touched certain parts of her body, Yu Mo with a cold face would suddenly burst into a clear laugh. Although the laughter stopped abruptly and was suppressed by her, Min Xi was happy to hear her make such a cheerful sound.
"Yu Mo, Yu Mo, Yu Mo... I like..."
Yu Mo knew that this was his way of courting her. Ever since she accepted his flowers at the hot spring, he often showed affection to her. Even if Yu Mo scolded him and beat him, he was not discouraged and would get close to her whenever he got the chance.
She was pressed down on the flower-covered ground. Min Xi didn't know where he had learned this technique, or if it was just natural, but he pursed his lips, carefully hiding his teeth, and touched her eyes with his mouth, then her nose, cheeks, and mouth. Yu Mo was very resistant. No matter how good Min Xi was to her, she had not forgotten that he was a beast, and she didn't know the consequences of angering a beast.
She tried to push his chest: "Min Xi, I still have things to do! Don't do this!"
Min Xi stared at her blankly, his tongue leaving her lips. Yu Mo knew he understood what she meant, but he was feigning confusion. He tilted his head, a look of confusion, then mumbled her name, cleaning her body with his tongue. As his nails hooked her collar and pulled it aside, a sharp animal sound came from nearby.
Yu Mo pushed him away and sat up. "Go check it out!" her tone was very bad. Min Xi grumbled twice, as if to apologize. Then he ran to the woods, where he had set a trap.
Yu Mo fixed her messy hair. After Min Xi's identity was discovered, he rarely disguised himself in front of her. His elaborate clothes were packed in boxes and placed inside the cave. There were also several boxes of dresses that also belonged to Western aristocratic women. The clothes Yu Mo wore were already torn.
She was wearing a white dress that she had modified. She used Min Xi's nails to change the originally complicated nightgown into a simple and cool suspender skirt with a few "swishing" strokes. The lace hanging on the skirt was really inconsistent with her cold face. Perhaps only Min Xi thought the two matched.
As long as they are good-looking, they are worthy of Yu Mo.
His forelimbs touched the ground at a rapid speed, his scales glistening in the dappled sunlight. His broken tail had grown back, looking a bit immature compared to the one in Yu Mo's memory. The new tail, having not yet had time to be covered with scales, was a tender pink, and the bones inside had probably not yet fully grown. It was very soft, and for him, it was a weakness, not a weapon.
When the tail just came out, Min Xi tried to break it off again, but Yu Mo didn't seem to mind, so he kept it and often shook his tail in front of her, trying to attract her attention and win her favor.
Just as Yu Mo was lost in thought, a rustling sound came from the grass.
A lizard man jumped out!
He was taller and stronger than Min Xi. If Min Xi was a teenager, then this one was clearly an adult! Unlike Min Xi's shiny scales, his scales were dirty and messy, stained with blood. The blood stains on the scales looked like they hadn't been cleaned for a long time.
Yu Mo was overwhelmed by the pungent stench, but what was more dangerous was obviously her life. When the lizard man saw her, he showed excitement as if he had met his prey. He obviously would not treat her as a partner and take care of her like Min Xi did.
She suppressed the scream that was about to burst out of her throat. She believed that as soon as she made a sound, the lizardman would pounce on her and bite her neck. She could only hope that Min Xi would come back as soon as possible. She knew that Min Xi would not go far. During normal hunting, even when Min Xi was on the way to hunt, he would often look back at her to ensure her safety before continuing to chase the prey.
The animal cry just now was not far away, and Min Xi should be able to notice something unusual here soon.
Yu Mo bit her lip. From her interactions with Min Xi, she knew that the lizardman's scales were very hard and covered his entire body, leaving him with almost no weaknesses. But she still gripped the saber tightly. If the lizardman pounced on her before Min Xi came back, she could stab him in the eyes!
Yu Mo swallowed hard, and a thought that made her tremble uncontrollably suddenly popped into her mind - what if Min Xi sensed the danger but didn't come back?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was most likely to happen. Although the lizardman in front of him looked thin, he was taller than Min Xi. He also had a thick tail, while Min Xi's tail was just a piece of pink and harmless cartilage, which obviously weakened Min Xi's combat effectiveness.
After weighing the pros and cons, it was obviously best to abandon her. Yu Mo's cheeks briefly turned cold, but she quickly adjusted her mood, gripped the saber tightly, and secretly aimed at the pair of eyes that were not covered by any scales...
"Min Xi!" Just as the lizard man pounced on her, the cry for help hidden in her throat came out, and the saber accurately pierced the lizard man's eyes. Yu Mo wiped off the splattered blood, covered her arm that was scratched by the lizard man, and rolled to the side.
The sharp nails scratched her flesh, and Yu Mo's face turned pale with pain. Having lost her weapon, she could only run desperately.
The lizardman howled briefly in pain, then pounced on her with even greater hatred, stamping his feet on her chest.
Yu Mo was stepped heavily on the ground, her back hit the stone, her chest was squeezed, and her face turned pale again.
She felt the taste of blood in her mouth.
The lizardman opened his mouth, and his sharp teeth were about to touch her neck. Suddenly, a huge force came from behind, and the lizardman who was previously pressing on her was hugged by Min Xi and rolled down the hillside.
Yu Mo resisted the dizziness and struggled to sit up. She held onto the tree trunk and walked to the hillside. Min Xiru seemed to have sensed something and looked up. His emerald pupils shrank into vertical lines in the sunlight. There was no emotion in his eyes, but Yu Mo seemed to sense his grief. He suddenly let out a sharp howl, then rushed towards him regardless of the lizard man's attack.
The scales on Min Xi's shoulders were torn off, and the shiny scales fell to the ground with blood and flesh. Yu Mo saw Min Xi on the verge of losing control for the first time. Every scale on his body exuded a vicious aggression. He attacked the lizard man who was stronger than him desperately.
The scales covering his body quickly became rough, with bald spots here and there. The lizardman really bit Min Xi's tail. Min Xi cried out in pain, and then was whipped by the thick tail...
Yu Mo's aim was pretty good. She squatted on the hillside, grabbed a branch, and used her intact arm to tiptoe and throw stones at the lizard man's wound, specifically aiming at the place where the scales were missing.
The pain made the lizard man dodge, and Min Xi took the opportunity to pull out his tail and hide it behind him. Just as he was biting the lizard man's neck, Yu Mo's voice came from the hillside. She shouted, "Go to the front, there is a pit there!"
Min Xi understood, biting the lizardman's neck and dragging him forward. The lizardman broke free, also covered in wounds. The lizardman touched the ground with all four limbs, obviously extremely enraged. He made threatening sounds and then leaped towards Min Xi. Min Xi waited for the lizardman to touch him before suddenly dodging to the side. The lizardman fell to the ground and chased after him by inertia, but saw the lizardman grabbing the vines and swinging towards the branches, while Min Xi fell into the grass...
--Bang!
The cave was very deep, with several sharpened bamboos standing upright. Without waiting to deal with the lizard man's corpse, Min Xi hurriedly ran to Yu Mo. He picked her up, returned to the cave, neurotically blocked the entrance, then knelt in front of her, licking her arms constantly, and whimpering from his throat from time to time.
Yu Mo pushed him away, Min Xi entangled with her again, licking her wound with his tongue. Yu Mo pushed him away again, Min Xi entangled with her again, pressing her shoulders with his palms, but with very light force, for fear of hurting her.
The sound turned into a gentle coo, as if to soothe her irritable mood.
"I need to treat the wound!" Yu Mo shouted, pointing to the box in the corner, "Bring it here."
She randomly picked out a piece of clothing and instructed Min Xi to tear it into pieces, then used the strips of cloth to tightly wrap around the bleeding wound. Min Xi saw her doing this and kindly bandaged the other wounds for her. She didn't feel relieved after escaping death.
I wonder what kind of virus it carries. Then I thought of Min Xi's daily saliva. If it had a virus, I would have been infected long ago, but that lizard man looked dirty. I hoped he was safe.
She was awakened by Min Xi's whimpering in the middle of the night. The cloth binding her wound was untied. Min Xi was covered in blood, which had obviously not been cleaned. He just lay under the stone bed and guarded her. He licked her wound with a sad expression.
Yu Mo belatedly realized the pain. The wound had become infected, and instead of stopping the bleeding, it had become red, swollen, and hot. She calmly considered the possibility of finding herbs in the forest. Min Xi climbed onto the stone bed, hugged her arm, and licked it, carefully and tenderly.
"Maybe there are medicines in my backpack." Yu Mo said, looking into Min Xi's eyes.
