Ahri sat in the cave, holding her child. Inside, she couldn't hear the rain outside or the sounds of people struggling to climb up.
The red python seemed to be asleep the whole time and didn't notice anyone coming in.
Ahri also realized that she wasn't stupid in there anymore; her mind was clear, and she wouldn't suddenly go crazy.
A rare sense of peace.
At this moment, the child in Ah Li's arms opened his eyes. His eyes lacked the innocence of a child; instead, they were filled with regret. He raised his hand to touch his forehead and muttered to himself, "I've shrunk. How am I supposed to find Yun Li now?"
Ah Li's lips were slightly cracked; she was currently on the run. She said, "No need to look anymore, I am Yun Li."
The child immediately raised his head, "Yunli? You said you're Yunli! I'm Lu Chu!"
There was a sense of relief on his face.
The next second, the giant python also moved, as if it had awakened.
Its big head instantly turned towards Ali and Lu Chu. Lu Chu tried to protect Ali, but Ali pressed his head into her arms. He heard Ali say, "I don't need a child's protection."
Lu Chu blushed. The spot he was leaning against wasn't very comfortable. He mumbled, "I...I'm not a child."
"It is now."
Ah Li kept her eyes on the giant python while talking to Lu Chu.
The red python in front of them straightened its body, twisting and turning, and its speed was getting faster and faster.
However, the snake's body was too huge to see clearly, and the cave was filled with falling rocks as it twisted.
"Stop being awkward, or the three of us will be buried."
Ah Li spoke up, standing up while holding Lu Chu, and said, "Lu Chu has turned into a child, so who are you? Yan Yue?"
The red python stopped, its two eyes, like large red lanterns, looking at Ah Li. It breathed a huge sigh of relief and said, "I was almost suffocating. If you still hadn't realized it was me, I would have turned into the snake god here and eaten you all."
The countdown to the bond-forming test had just started. Ah Li and Lu Chu didn't see it, but Yan Yue did.
The test between him and her was like a charades game; he couldn't speak until the other guessed his true identity.
He had his eyes closed earlier because of the countdown timer. He couldn't look at who was coming in. If he did, and it was Yunli who came in, the countdown would start immediately without Yunli's knowledge.
If the cloud fox becomes too frightened and faints, or escapes from the cave, the countdown will not end.
If he is not recognized by Yunli after the countdown ends, he will transform into a ferocious red python, burst out of the cave, and begin to wreak havoc and harm everyone.
Only by consuming the Cloud Civet and the other two participants in the bond-forming trial can he regain consciousness, but he will never be able to leave this world again; he will become a monster within it.
The bodies of the four people inside the experimental chamber will also be declared brain dead and sent directly for cremation.
This bond test is all about realism.
Lu Chu suddenly looked at Ah Li and asked, "Are you not stupid anymore?"
Yanyue also realized that this person wasn't stupid after all; was he really that smart?
He had just managed to twist out a 'moon' shape, but the snake's body was too big to twist easily.
Unexpectedly, this person guessed it right away.
Ahri coughed lightly and said, "Yeah, I'm not stupid anymore."
Lu Chu thought for a moment and said, "That might be because the human body damage repair system in the experimental chamber was activated, which is why your brain has improved."
At this moment, Yanyue poked the snake's head over and said in a slightly sour tone, "So how long are you going to keep hugging?"
Lu Chu then realized that he was still being held by Ah Li. He said embarrassedly, "You can put me down now. I'm fine."
In this ordeal, he was a feverish child, delirious.
If Ahri hadn't caught him, touched him, and brought him into the cave, he would have remained delirious and eventually either died of illness or become food for the snake god.
Now, the trials for the two of them and Ah Li are over, and only Xinglan remains.
Ah Li put Lu Chu down and said, "Let's go find Xing Lan now."
"good."
Yanyue responded and laid his large head on the ground, saying, "Come on up, I'll take you out. I can swim faster than you two on two legs."
"good."
Ali and Lu Chu climbed onto the head of the crescent moon, which carried them both towards the cave entrance.
However, just as they approached the cave entrance, a sudden burst of lightning and thunder struck, and lightning even struck the crescent moon's large head.
A jolt of electricity and a tingling sensation instantly turned Ah Li and Lu Chu's hair into an afro, which was also smoking. Yan Yue's big head was also emitting white smoke.
It's a miracle he didn't die.
Ahri opened her mouth and said, "Didn't the three of us recognize each other?"
Lu Chu slid down from Yanyue's big head. He looked at Yanyue, who was stunned by the electric shock, and then at Ahli, who had also slid down. He said, "I suppose your contract formation mission isn't over yet?"
"Huh? I have one too?"
Ahri said she had no idea.
Lu Chu, acting like a little adult, said, "I forgot, you didn't read the requirements for the bond-forming trial beforehand."
Only Liu Su had seen the requirements for the bond-forming mission, so it's normal that she didn't know them.
"So what do we do now?"
Ahri looked at the lightning and thunder outside the cave entrance, and felt that if they dared to go out without completing their mission, they wouldn't be as gentle as before.
