She had no intention of dying here.
A thought flashed through Ji Yueyao's mind. She gritted her teeth and decided that for the time being, she could only continue to retreat.
Her mind was buzzing incessantly like mosquitoes, and the waves of excruciating pain from the wounds on her legs and head almost made her faint. Coupled with blood loss, Ji Yueyao didn't even have the strength to stand up, let alone use her superpowers to the fullest extent.
It hurts...it hurts so much! Her legs hurt, and the pain in her head was even more intense, making it painful to even move her eyes.
She squinted, one hand bracing against the earthen wall, letting sand seep through her fingers. Her other hand held a flashlight, but only illuminating the lower areas, because she couldn't even lift her arm. Watching the scorpion-like birds rushing towards her at incredible speed in the darkness, Ji Yueyao was overwhelmed by a torrent of negative emotions, including frustration and pain. In that instant, she almost lost all reason, taking a step forward and hurling the flashlight at one of them, yelling, "Get out of here!"
The moment she took a step, the wound on her thigh reopened, and the ripping sound was exceptionally clear in the darkness.
However, Ji Yueyao heard nothing. At that moment, her ears were ringing violently, and her consciousness momentarily wavered. The intense pain brought her suffering to its peak in an instant, and it was still rising infinitely.
The moment she spoke, a bizarre scene unfolded: the scorpion-type bird in front of her actually retreated like a tide, then paced around restlessly, hesitating to launch another attack.
Her mind cleared up in that instant, just like when she saw those ant-like birds retreat.
What the heck is this?!
Ji Yueyao's face was deathly pale, even her lips were bloodless. She was so exhausted that she slumped to the ground, staring at the retreating scorpion-type strange birds for a long time without reacting.
She could even scare away those who were different? For some reason, the image that came to her mind right now was the spectacular sight of Zhang Fei roaring three times at the Broken Bridge, causing the river to flow backward... Bah, Ji Yueyao shook her head, is this the time to be thinking about such things!
Looking at the scorpion-type strange bird in front of her, Ji Yueyao suddenly blurted out, "Why don't you attack?"
She got drunk after I asked her the question; she's really gone mad. How could a scorpion-type exotic bird possibly answer her?
"No...it can't." A hoarse voice suddenly entered Ji Yueyao's mind. She froze for a moment, and her first reaction was to turn around and look at the sky. When she noticed that the sky's two eyes were still dim and lifeless, she looked at the scorpion-type strange bird in front of her incredulously. Is this for real? A scorpion-type strange bird can talk?!
"You can talk?" Ji Yueyao exclaimed in surprise, but then she realized that she might have misunderstood. Although the sound made by the scorpion-type exotic bird was different from the melodious sound from the sky, it felt the same. This should also be the sound that was directly transmitted into her mind.
Could it be that her sonic waves...are connected to the sky, just like the scorpion-type exotic bird?!
The scorpion-type birds did not answer her. At this moment, one of the scorpion-type birds slowly walked forward and stopped a meter in front of Ji Yueyao, asking, "Who are you, one of our kind?"
What the hell? Are you blind? She doesn't look like a scorpion at all!
Ji Yueyao was stunned for a moment. Although she was internally complaining, she calmly said, "My name is Ji Yueyao."
At this point, the scorpion-type strange bird had completely lost its killing intent, and Ji Yueyao breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your name is Ji Yueyao..." The scorpion-type exotic bird was silent for a moment, then retreated again like a slow-witted teenager. "We... do not harm our own kind."
As soon as she finished speaking, the scorpion-like strange bird prepared to turn and leave. Although Ji Yueyao was confused, she quickly called out to the scorpion-like strange bird, "Could you help me take her upstairs and hand her over to a man up there?"
Ji Yueyao squatted down and managed to pull Kaqi's arm. "She's my friend. Can you help me?"
Although we don't know if termites can provide an antidote, we have no choice but to take this gamble.
"A human friend?" The scorpion-type bird waved its stinger dangerously at Kachi, but did not refuse her. "Okay."
Although Ji Yueyao found it strange to hear the scorpion-type exotic bird say that it was a human friend, she was relieved to be able to bring Kaqi up with her. However, when she heard this, her nerves were still not relaxed. The chaotic voices in her mind had disappeared, but the wounds on her legs and head were still real. In other words, the pain in her body was still pressing on her nerves.
She was on high alert. Even if it was just a minor incident, Ji Yueyao felt she could jump up and stab with a dagger.
The scorpion-type exotic bird carried Kaki on its back and quickly disappeared from Ji Yueyao's sight. At that moment, Ji Yueyao suddenly broke all her tension and fainted instantly.
Overusing her powers has already taken a toll on her body; if she were to use them excessively now, she might really die.
...
"Yueyue?"
Hearing a familiar voice, Ji Yueyao turned around and, stunned, her eyes immediately welled up with tears. "Mom and Dad?"
Almost without thinking, Ji Yueyao rushed over, but the world plunged into darkness once again the moment she took her first step.
A chilling sensation washed over her instantly, engulfing even her heart. She stopped in her tracks, standing there motionless as if suddenly realizing something.
Tsk, that's right, the world she's in now is this cold world.
"Captain? Captain!"
Ji Yueyao was abruptly shaken awake by Zhu Mu. With her blurry eyes open, she looked at Zhu Mu with a cold gaze, as sharp as a icy wind.
She was already in a bad mood, and now the bamboo pole is about to break her neck...
"Captain, you're awake!" Takeki said happily, then stood up and hurriedly called over the termites and Kachi who were looking for food nearby, "You two come here, the captain is awake."
Ji Yueyao rubbed her head. The head injury was gone, and her legs didn't hurt much after she sat up. She guessed that the termites had healed the injury.
"How is Aqi's poison?" She only realized how hoarse her voice was when she opened her mouth, and her vocal cords felt like they were being torn apart with every sound.
“I’m alright now.” Kaqi knelt down beside Ji Yueyao, her voice choked with emotion as she grasped Ji Yueyao’s hand. “Yueyao, I’m alright, thank you.”
Kachi's poison has been completely neutralized. To be honest, according to what Termite said, if Kachi had come to play any later, she probably would have been in grave danger.
"Why thank me?" Ji Yueyao chuckled and leaned on Kaqi's shoulder, staring blankly at the azure sky. So the termites' healing ability really could detoxify?
"Ji Yueyao, you're finally awake! You slept even longer than me, practically passed out." Sky's disdainful voice entered Ji Yueyao's mind. Ji Yueyao sat up and looked at the backpack beside her, and sure enough, she saw Sky staring at her with his azure eyes. (To be continued.)
