Chen Yao raised her foot in confusion and looked at the bulge on the ground. What caught her eye was a wooden bulge that looked like the corner of a wooden box.
She nudged Mo Lin beside her and said in surprise, "Mo Lin, look, there seems to be something there..."
She had a hunch that there was something buried underneath, and that was the treasure that attracted her to this mountain this time.
Hearing the sound, Mo Lin looked in the direction she pointed and saw a corner of a wooden box that seemed to be mostly buried in the soil. He asked in confusion, "Why is there something buried here?"
He was quite familiar with this area and had passed by their current location before, but he had never seen such a protruding piece of wood.
Chen Yao first quietly asked the system if the buried thing was good. After receiving a positive answer, she suggested to Mo Lin: "How about we dig it out and take a look?"
Mo Lin thought about it, nodded, and said, "Okay, then you sit here and watch, I'll do the digging."
Chen Yao immediately responded with a smile: "Okay, then I'll sit here and wait for you to finish digging."
After Mo Lin nodded, he took off all the bamboo tubes hanging on his body and put them aside. Then he found a handy dead branch nearby and began to slowly dig around the protruding corner.
Under the scorching sun, beads of sweat soon appeared on his forehead. Chen Yao supported her big belly, quietly moved closer to him, and wiped the sweat off his face.
He enjoyed it very much. It seemed as if his hands were working with more strength and their movements were getting faster and faster.
Not long after, a wooden box as big as two hands put together appeared in front of them intact.
Mo Lin took it out of the soil, then filled it back with the soil he had dug out. He then held the box and sat next to Chen Yao, asking for her opinion: "Do you want to open it and take a look?"
Chen Yao looked at the ancient and mysterious patterns on the wooden box, then looked at the seal-like mark on it, and said affirmatively: "Open it."
Mo Lin nodded, put his hand along the closed part of the box, and opened it with a little force.
Immediately afterwards, a light green light shone through the box. Inside the box, a crystal stone emitting light was lying quietly.
After seeing the crystal, the system said in surprise: "Host, this is the Green Field Crystal. It's a good thing. You can touch it directly."
Chen Yao was relieved now. She reached out and picked up the crystal stone. She looked at it in her hand and said to Mo Lin, "This thing looks very beautiful."
Mo Lin picked up the water bag beside him to wash off the dirt on his hands, then he and Shen Yao looked at the crystal stone together and found that it looked very different and not like an ordinary treasure.
At this moment, there was a sudden movement in Chen Yao's stomach.
It's fetal movement.
The little ones in her belly seemed to have smelled something unusual and started to move one after another, becoming very active.
This was the first time she had experienced fetal movement since the early stages of her pregnancy.
Mo Lin also noticed the movement in her belly and couldn't help but frown in worry: "Yaoyao... this is..."
Chen Yao explained to him: "This is a normal phenomenon, called fetal movement. Just think of it as the baby saying hello to us."
Mo Lin's frown slowly relaxed.
Chen Yao looked at the crystal in her hand and thought: I wonder if this fetal movement has anything to do with this newly acquired green crystal.
She just thought about it, and the next second——
The green crystal in her hand suddenly turned into countless thin rays of light, converging towards her bulging belly.
Within a few seconds, the crystal disappeared out of thin air, as if it had never appeared.
This scene directly shocked Chen Yao and Mo Lin.
What is going on?
Chen Yao asked the system with a puzzled look on her face, "Why did the Green Field Crystal suddenly disappear? Do you know?"
The system asked her to wait a moment while it checked.
Chen Yao pursed her lips and lowered her head to look at her belly which had been very active just now, but now there was no movement.
Could it be that the little cubs in her belly absorbed the crystal's energy? That's why this happened...
Soon, the system gave her the answer: "Host, Green Field Crystal is a valuable item with natural energy. It can enhance the physical fitness of the beast tribe, improve the beast tribe's intelligence and hunting ability, and also enhance talent and creativity. It is a truly valuable item.
As for why the crystal disappeared out of thin air, the reason is naturally that its energy was quickly absorbed by the little cubs in your belly.
But don't worry, that energy is beneficial to the cubs, so they are so active."
Chen Yao raised her eyebrows and secretly clicked her tongue.
So...it turned out that the cubs really absorbed the energy on their own initiative.
She looked at Mo Lin and suddenly didn't know how to explain it. She could only make an expression as surprised as his, as if she knew nothing.
Mo Lin looked at her empty palms, then at her quiet stomach, and guessed something in his heart.
There was only an empty wooden box on the ground, reminding him that the scenes just now were real.
He hugged Shen Yao and said softly, "Yaoyao, don't be afraid. You and the baby will be fine. No matter what happens, I will always be with you."
Chen Yao nodded comfortingly and replied: "Mo Lin, I also believe that the baby and I will be fine."
Mo Lin kissed her forehead soothingly and said softly, "What happened today is best left to the two of us. When we get home, we'll pretend nothing happened so they don't worry."
