Chapter 188 Affectionate
As soon as Yu Yao dodged, a large hand followed her to her side.
Seeing that she was about to be caught, Yu Yao immediately used the Ethereal Flash to teleport away.
But that large hand followed her like a shadow, as if it had marked her body.
No matter where she lands, she will come after her immediately.
The most troublesome thing is that, in addition to Xi Yuechen and that annoying big hand, Yu Yao also has to deal with attacks and interference from other zombies.
Unwilling to reveal her identity and use techniques like Silent Moon Kill, she could only use her Wind Fan to repeatedly unleash hurricanes to clear out the other zombies that were attacking her!
The instant she was grabbed by the large hand and dragged to the ground, Yu Yao quickly returned to her spatial dimension.
This is terrible; we can't let any more zombies get the fragments.
Absolutely not!
The large hand grabbed at nothing, sending up a cloud of dust.
Xi Yuechen narrowed her eyes, her gaze sweeping over the spot where Yu Yao had disappeared.
The next instant, Yu Yao suddenly reappeared, her long sword thrusting straight at him.
As Xi Yuechen retreated rapidly, the annoying large hand reached for Yu Yao once again.
Yu Yao took out a rocket launcher and turned around to fire several shots at the big hand.
As she shattered the giant hand, Xi Yuechen behind her also launched a sudden attack.
Yu Yao's body also fell rapidly towards the bottom of the crack due to the force of the force.
At the same time, two annoying giant hands emerged from the bottom of the crack.
Yu Yao subconsciously prepared to use wind-type spiritual power to fly out of the crack, despite the irresistible force and the huge suction from the bottom of the crack.
But it's not like she can't get out!
Just as she was using her wind-elemental spiritual power to fight against the suction from below and the irresistible force of falling,
Chi Heng suddenly appeared beside her.
He was smart enough to know that Yu Yao didn't want to reveal her identity, so he wrapped his whole body in chaotic spiritual power.
This made it impossible for anyone other than Yu Yao to see his appearance or recognize his aura.
Yu Yao's eyes flickered, and she saw him grab her wrist, turn his body, and throw her out of the crevice.
He himself fell even faster.
Yu Yao's pupils contracted, and just as worry appeared in her eyes, she saw the reassuring look in Chi Heng's eyes.
He went down there on purpose.
We must deal with the powerful figures below, otherwise they will only keep interfering with Yu Yao.
Yu Yao understood. The instant she was thrown out of the rift, she used the Sky Rift to briefly restrain Xi Yuechen while throwing a handful of seeds at him.
And immediately used spiritual power to induce birth.
The term "wood overcomes earth" refers to the fact that plant roots absorb nutrients and energy from the earth, while simultaneously growing their own roots, thus disrupting the stable soil layer.
While stimulating the growth of the seed, Yu Yao used the roots that sprouted from the seed to quickly absorb Xi Yuechen's energy, and then combined this with the Spirit Absorption technique.
This quickly changed Xi Yuechen's expression.
Take advantage of his illness to kill him!
Yu Yao once again drew her longsword and slashed at Xi Yuechen's head.
The moment she severed the other person's head.
Xi Yuechen once again transformed into a cloud of flying sand, falling softly and scattering with the wind.
All that remained before Yu Yao was a headless humanoid skeleton woven from countless intertwined roots.
"Severely injured Zombie King, gained 50000 experience points and 1 yellow fragment of the Five-Colored Stone Fragment"
Fragments of the Five-Colored Stone?
outrageous!
Before Yu Yao could even sigh, she had already rushed towards the other zombies. Although she wasn't very comfortable using the longsword, at least she had the advantage of her level.
It was an easy kill, too.
A few minutes later, a loud bang came from the underground crack, accompanied by a violent tremor of the earth.
At the same time, the cracks began to close.
Yu Yao's eyes flickered, and she was just about to notify Chi Heng when she saw him rush out just before the crack completely healed.
In his hand, he was still holding a yellowish-brown bead.
The Earth Spirit Orb, which Xi Yuechen fused together with the power of fragments and the power of the earth's core, is also the main energy source for condensing the giant hand.
......
After Chi Heng came out, he and Yu Yao worked together to quickly clear out all the zombies.
Afterwards, the two carefully left the spot.
It only stopped after it had flown a long way and was sure that no one or no zombies were following it, and then returned to its original appearance.
Yu Yao breathed a sigh of relief and casually leaned against a wall.
Chi Heng frowned slightly and gently reached out to pull her away!
He casually placed the Earth Spirit Orb into Yu Yao's hand and said, "It's too cold there."
Yu Yao lowered her eyes and played with the small yellow bead in her hand, about the size of a baby's palm.
The Earth Spirit Orb contains the power of the earth's core. If it is placed in the Seven-Colored Glazed Realm and nurtured, it might be able to generate earth fire!
Holding the beads, she casually asked, "...Why are you here?"
Chi Heng moved his finger.
"I suddenly lost the connection with you before, and I was worried, so I came after you."
Yu Yao said, "Oh, it's nothing. It was just a small accident. Don't worry."
Chi Heng hesitated for a moment, but finally made up his mind and said, "...Actually, there's something else I want to tell you."
Yu Yao's heart skipped a beat, instinctively knowing that what Chi Heng was about to say was something she was afraid to hear.
Seeing her slightly resistant expression, Chi Heng's eyelashes trembled slightly, and his eyes turned a light red.
"You hate me?"
Yu Yao said, "I don't think that dislike and indifference are emotions that must coexist. I don't dislike you. If I disliked you or anyone else in the team, I would have left long ago. But I haven't noticed much attraction to you either. At least, I haven't fallen in love with you yet."
Chi Heng's eyes flickered slightly, and he managed a smile.
"It's okay, as long as you don't hate me."
Yu Yao thought for a moment and still advised, "Let's find someone else. With your looks, you're not short of admirers. Forget about me, we're not a good match. We think we're better suited to be teammates who support each other. I really can't get rid of the Seven-Colored Glazed Bracelet... but I'll definitely find a way to make it up to you!"
It has to be said that people can actually laugh when they are extremely angry or speechless.
Chi Heng laughed.
"You really know nothing about relationships."
Yu Yao: "...I'm serious. I don't want to find a partner within the team unless I leave the team."
Yu Yao's calm words were like a merciless knife, piercing Chi Heng's heart.
He almost instinctively said, "No!"
Perhaps realizing he was getting too emotional, he took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
“I understand what you mean. From now on... you don’t need to feel pressured. I came to see you because I wanted to tell you that you don’t need to hide from me. I won’t do anything to make things difficult for you, and I won’t overthink it.”
Yu Yao frowned, somewhat puzzled and disbelieving.
"Yeah."
Chi Heng looked up at her eyes, which were clearly shimmering like water, yet strangely indifferent.
The words I wanted to say were never spoken.
He wanted to say that if possible, he hoped Yu Yao would treat him as a backup plan, as a tool she could use.
The fact that she's willing to be a backup option proves that she still doesn't want to give up on herself.
What Chi Heng feared even more was Yu Yao's firm rejection of him and her distancing herself from him.
Just like the previous few months.
After thinking about it, he still said, "Actually, it's not bad for me to be a tool."
"what?"
Chi Heng took a deep breath and looked directly into Yu Yao's eyes.
"I'm quite useful, really. Why waste such a fighting force like me on these trivial things? I hope that in the future we can still support and help each other like before. We will always be the best teammates, the kind that will never have to be separated."
He spoke very urgently, and upon closer listening, one could sense the tremor and fear hidden within him.
Yu Yao didn't say anything more, but just looked deeply at Chi Heng.
She only laughed when she saw him become somewhat flustered and at a loss.
What if I fall in love with someone else?
Chi Heng slightly curled his fingertips, lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice, "I will bless you and, as your family, support you."
Yu Yao sighed, "You're so affectionate, I'm going to get scolded."
Yu Yao doesn't disbelieve in love; she just doesn't believe in the longevity of relationships.
His feelings right now must be genuine.
But... matters of the heart are too unpredictable.
He can give his love today and take it away tomorrow.
In Yu Yao's view, the most stable relationship is that between friends and teammates.
Romantic relationship?
Too fragile.
Not only is it fragile, but it could even affect other relationships between them.
Getting together without any clear understanding of what's going on is unfair to everyone.
