At the same time, Sallyman also got out of the car. When she looked at Xi Xi, her eyes revealed undisguised admiration.
Xi Xi glanced at her with some confusion, then carefully examined the surrounding terrain.
In fact, when faced with that impenetrable rock wall, Sallyman was completely stunned. She was always conservative and dared not take too many risks, so she hesitated.
To her surprise, Xi Xi was so decisive and resolute that she charged straight at the seemingly indestructible wall.
Sallyman thought to herself, if she were alone in this strange space, she might really be trapped for ten days or half a month!
Fortunately, Xi Xi formed a temporary team with her, and they could travel together. She was so lucky!
Xi Xi was unaware of Sallyman's thoughts. She took a sip of her Radiant Lollipop, cautiously looked around, and only after confirming that there was nothing suspicious did her anxious heart finally calm down a little.
After all, rats are known for their cunning, especially their ability to hide in the dark.
Given the commotion caused by the tracking talisman, the rat must have already taken the opportunity to slip into some hidden burrow and escape.
Xi Xi turned around, her gaze falling on Shaliman, and she immediately sensed that something was wrong.
Sallyman's eyes were bluish-black, and she looked listless and in very poor condition.
She frowned and asked somewhat nervously, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Sallyman shook her head gently, forcing a smile as she replied, "It's nothing serious, I'm fine."
"But... my energy is almost completely depleted. I relied on energy drinks to replenish my strength for the previous leg of the journey, and now it's almost used up too."
Xi Xi was horrified. Because she had never looked in a mirror, she never knew that her face would look so bad when her strength was almost gone. She couldn't help but recall her own experience of exhaustion when she was completely drained.
“It’s really too late… Let’s call it a day then. Get some rest and remember to lock the doors and windows.” Xi Xi patted her shoulder understandingly and said.
A hint of gratitude flashed in Sallyman's eyes. She nodded, said goodnight to Xi Xi, and returned to her car.
She felt that Xi Xi was indeed a good team leader, with a clear mind, decisive actions, and no hesitation. Presumably, she herself didn't have much energy left, yet she was able to get out of the car immediately to check the situation and remind the team members, which was truly admirable.
However, Sallyman was unaware that Xi Xi still had more than a third of her strength remaining.
After all, Xi Xi had an autopilot system, so she didn't consume much power before entering the instance.
"Don't you feel a bit cold in here?" Xi's mother, who was waiting in the car, first asked about the situation, then handed Xi a cup of hot water and looked out the car window with some suspicion.
A thin layer of condensation had formed on the car windows, blurring the view outside.
Seeing this, Xi Xi frowned slightly, then reached out and pulled down all the curtains on the windshield.
"It seems a bit..." Xi Xi took a sip of the hot water in her cup, her gaze casually glancing at the time on the screen, and was suddenly startled.
It's almost 5:30 in the morning?! Xi Xi looked at it again in disbelief, and only after confirming that it was correct did she feel a little strange.
Does it really take them that long to get out of the reversed space? Thinking about this, Xi Xi couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine, a coldness spreading rapidly along her spine.
There are only two possibilities: either the flow of time when they traversed the rock wall was abnormal, or the flow of time in that inverted space was extraordinary...
Chu Zhiqin, who was standing to the side, seemed to have noticed the unusual timing as well. Her expression changed slightly, and she quickly turned to look at Xi Xi, whispering a reminder: "Don't forget, you still have one more chance to use the 'Blessing with a Magical Brush' painting today. The number of attempts will be refreshed at six o'clock."
Reminded by Chu Zhiqin, Xi Xi suddenly realized and slapped her forehead. She had completely forgotten! The situation was urgent, and she didn't have time to think. She hurriedly picked up the magic pen and, in her haste, could only draw a universal key to make do with the emergency.
This is the easiest to draw... anyway, it can be used later, so it's not a waste.
Thinking this, Xi Xi took out the rusty, moss-covered key again.
[Item Hint: An old, unusable key; it might have other uses.]
Xi Xi picked up the two keys and compared them repeatedly.
Since it's a master key, it should be able to replace the moss key... but if it's used for anything other than unlocking, then it's hard to say.
Since the item description was so obvious, Xi Xi still felt that the purpose of this moss key might not be unlocking.
As she was pondering, Chu Zhiqin, who was beside her, seemed to suddenly remember something important and sighed.
Xi Xi followed Chu Zhiqin's gaze and her eyes fell on the three neatly arranged miniature planting pots.
She was surprised to find that the once lush and vibrant seedlings had somehow become somewhat listless.
Their leaves, starting from the tips, are gradually changing color from dark to light, turning slightly whitish.
Clearly, this is a symptom caused by insufficient sunlight for the plant!
Xi Xi immediately sensed something was wrong.
Indeed, since that sandstorm that blotted out the sun, the sky has been shrouded in a thick layer of haze, and these plants haven't had proper sun exposure for a long time.
Insufficient light will prevent plants from carrying out sufficient photosynthesis, thus hindering the synthesis and conversion of more nutrients, and their activity will gradually weaken.
