Chapter 63 Uninvited Guest: What's going on? Who are you? ...
Now that the farmland that had just harvested the mutated lavender has been planted with other things, if we want to improve efficiency, it would definitely be better to bring over the other fifteen plots.
Upon hearing the system's suggestion to find farmland, Xiao Jiu nodded: "Okay."
Suanni glanced at the system sideways: "Tsk, you're like a slave owner who can't stand seeing others rest."
system:?
System: Who am I doing this for?!
Just as the system was about to retaliate, it heard Xiao Jiu ask, "Slave, what is that?"
Everyone: "......"
How should I explain this word to my child?
Seeing that no one spoke, Xiao Jiu understood. He made a gesture of covering his mouth, blinked at them, and whispered, "Xiao Jiu won't ask anymore, won't ask anymore."
They looked so pitiful.
Everyone turned to look at Suanni, their eyes saying: It's all your fault!
Suanni: ?
System: Hahaha!
After this silent conflict subsided, the system set off with Xiao Jiu.
Although the system had scanned the world when it was first merged and created a 3D scan image, Xiao Jiu couldn't understand the image and still had to walk to the farmland in person to complete the "farmland relocation".
The system simply said, "Meow, come with us."
The Suanni is the only one that can start a fire.
They had limited materials at the moment, so they couldn't make torches or tinder, nor could they simply throw a ball of fire to Xiao Jiu like they had done with Fu Yu before. They could only send Suanni along.
Suanni had no objections; this was much less effort than having him create countless flames to follow Xiao Jiu and light up the entire way.
The system walked ahead, with the Suanni perched on top of Xiao Jiu's head.
The Suanni could start a fire without using its tail, so it created four or five fireballs that floated around Xiao Jiu in a circle.
The world of eternal night was pitch black, which made the orange flames around Xiao Jiu stand out particularly.
Qianchuan and Fuyu stood under the Elf Tree, watching the direction they left. They could judge whether the place Xiao Jiu was walking on was flat or had bumps or depressions based on the fluctuations of the firelight.
It's quite interesting.
Suddenly, at a certain moment, Qianchuan stood up and looked around.
Fuyu: "What's wrong?"
Qian Chuan frowned: "The Taotie is gone."
Fu Yu seemed to have thought of something, his expression froze for a moment, and then his eyes flickered as he said, "As for Taotie... he'll definitely be fine."
Meanwhile, in the darkness in the distance.
The system walked in front of Xiao Jiu without turning its head and said, "Host, we'll be there in about ten more minutes."
Xiao Jiu stared intently at the system... its backside, which was illuminated by the flames: "Okay."
Suanni, perched on Xiao Jiu's head, laughed upon seeing this: "Hey, System, your butt's on fire."
The system immediately flicked its tail, which split open and bared its teeth at the Suanni.
The Suanni flicked its tail indifferently and asked curiously, "Speaking of which, System, why did you want to refine your body into this shape? I don't think you particularly like furry creatures."
The system glanced back at him; his sculpted round eyes looked like large brass rings, both amusing and unsettling.
System: "What do you know? This is incredibly efficient. I can harvest a whole field of spirit-transformed flowers in less than ten seconds."
Suanni was speechless when he thought of the scene where the system and Taotie each had a plot of land and were frantically plowing the land with their mouths like in a competition.
Suanni: "Alright."
After this world merged, the terrain around the Elf Tree did not change much; it remained a flat area.
The only thing that has changed is that the rift valley, which was several hundred meters deep, is gone.
The location of these fifteen farmlands is the same place where the rift valley was originally located.
After walking for another two or three minutes, they suddenly stepped on something.
The Suanni shone the firelight on itself and chuckled, "Hey, this laurel grass is really something, it actually flattened itself out."
Previously, laurel grass grew everywhere in the rift valley. If there had been sunshine, it could have continued to grow further. Unfortunately, many of them withered over the past ten years, and eventually only a small patch remained at the bottom of the valley.
Now that the world has merged, these laurel grasses have come to the flat land.
They are very similar to the spirit flowers, tough and net-like, and they can arrange the shape of this "net" by themselves. At this moment, these laurel grasses with only leaves left are spread out on the ground in a small irregular shape.
Xiao Jiu stopped and squatted down to take a look.
He tilted his head to the left and then to the right, and after looking at it for a while, he said dejectedly, "The flower hasn't bloomed."
Not only did it not bloom, but its leaves also became very sparse, clearly indicating malnutrition.
The system bounced up to him: "They'll bloom soon! Once we spread the spirit flowers across the land of this world, and Grandma wakes up, they'll soon be blooming all over the mountains and fields!"
Xiao Jiu couldn't imagine such a scene, but hearing the system's lighthearted tone, he nodded heavily: "Mm!"
The farmland of Liancheng is nestled among this clump of laurel grass, so it is easy to spot.
Now that Xiao Jiu saw the farmland, the conditions for moving the farmland were met, and the system used points to move the farmland to the base of the Elf Tree with one click.
System: "Alright, shall we go back?"
Just then, the announcement suddenly rang out in the space.
The portal is about to open.
[Time remaining until opening: 10, 9, 8...]
"It must be Mother!"
The Suanni was so excited that it rolled off Xiao Jiu's head. After falling, it was immediately bounced up by the laurel grass on the ground, and for a moment it was like a white bouncy ball.
The system finally caught the Suanni in the act: "Hahaha, look at you—"
[......2、1]
In an instant, the Suanni, whose eyes had been full of excitement, suddenly narrowed its pupils and cried out, "Watch out!"
His voice was followed by the sound of a sharp sword cutting through the air.
The voice hurtled straight toward Xiao Jiu, arriving in front of him in an instant.
"clang!"
A metallic clanging sound rang out.
In the flickering firelight, a man covered in blood stood a step away from Xiao Jiu.
He held a sword in his right hand, but his left hand was missing from the elbow down.
His face was as white as paper, but his eyes were fixed on Xiao Jiu.
He said, "A demon..."
Xiao Jiu was originally holding the blade of the sword, but after hearing what the man said, she tilted her head in confusion and then applied a little more force to her hand.
"Click".
The man's sword broke.
At the same time, he coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face as pale as paper.
The system darted over and pulled Xiao Jiu back two steps, retreating from the area where the blood had been spilled.
The system released Xiao Jiu's collar and jumped in front of her: "What's going on? Who are you!"
The system's previous sentence was directed at the Suanni.
If it weren't for Suanni's earlier remarks about Granny Taili, the system would have already taken action.
Before the Suanni could speak, the man staggered.
Despite vomiting blood and his left hand being in a terrible state, the man's face remained expressionless.
He was like a machine with a pre-programmed schedule, grabbing the broken sword and heading towards Xiao Jiu.
Just as he took a step, a shadow suddenly loomed over him.
It was enormous, like a gaping mouth, looming down directly at the man.
"Bang!"
A loud crash was heard, and the shadow was blocked.
And blocking it was Xiao Jiu.
A voice came from the shadows, deep and cold.
"Get out of the way."
This was a voice that Xiao Jiu had never heard before.
But Xiao Jiu didn't hesitate at all, and just looked at it and said, "Xiao Jiu, it's okay."
The firelight flickered, but the shadow seemed to swallow the light as well, standing motionless in place.
The next second, it vanished in an instant, leaving only a wisp of cold wind.
At that moment, the man who was being shielded behind Xiao Jiu slowly raised his broken sword—
At this distance, a single shot will be a sure hit!
"Bang."
Without turning his head, Xiao Jiu delivered a powerful elbow strike, sending the man flying backward.
The man tumbled and crashed to the ground, only to be bounced up by the laurel grass, where he coughed up blood again mid-air.
Before he could even land, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
The system, poised to bite: "..."
The Suanni, preparing to transform: "..."
The man fainted, but the laurel grass still had its elasticity.
And so he was bounced, bounced, bounced...
Wherever the bullet hits, blood spurts out.
The system couldn't stand it anymore: "Fine, I'll go pick it up myself. It's gotten the flowers dirty, and I don't want to use my points to wash them."
The system chased after it and spat out a crystal-clear coffin.
It caught the human in the crystal coffin like it was playing catch, then closed the lid and swallowed the person and coffin together.
After swallowing, it turned to look at the Suanni: "Do you think it would be too much trouble for Qianchuan to bring the water over later?"
Suanni felt like he didn't know where to begin complaining, so when Xiao Jiu said something to him, he just casually responded without paying any attention.
So, when the system finished tidying up the two broken swords on the ground, looked at the gap in space next to it, and came over to discuss the mysterious shadow with its host, it found that its host was gone!
system:! ?
The system panicked immediately: "Host! Host!?"
It was too dark around.
Just as the system was preparing to directly activate holographic scanning to locate the location, Suanni suddenly said, "Wait, Xiao Jiu just told me where he was going."
The system was frantic: "Then tell me quickly, where did you go!"
Suanni recalled for a while, and then a strange expression appeared on its snow-white cat face.
Suanni: "Xiao Jiu said he's going to find the dog."
system:?
Why would you look for a dog at a time like this?!
There's a dying human in the warehouse now, and a shadow and an unfamiliar voice appeared out of nowhere earlier. This is hardly a search for a dog—
etc.
The system froze.
Three seconds later, it suddenly turned its head to look at the Suanni.
"So that shadowy thing just now was a Taotie!?"
