Chapter 225 Return
When Du Jiujiu came back with a bunch of trophies, time had not passed too long.
Wei Qingqing and Hu Xiaoyun both looked at Du Jiujiu with blank expressions.
They really had too many questions that they wanted to ask Du Jiujiu, but now was not a good time to ask questions. They could only continue to keep these doubts in their stomachs.
Their previous actions turned this area upside down, and several of them still had blood and materials removed from the cobras on their bodies. The rich fishy smell was comparable to darkness under the keen sense of smell of the alien beasts.
As a bright light in the world, they naturally no longer have the need to hide themselves.
So, Du Jiujiu began to step on the branches of the giant tree and jump back and forth in the woods.
Xiaobai carried the other three people on his back and followed Du Jiujiu.
With such fresh and "aromatic" delicacies wandering in the woods, few strange animals will not be tempted by it.
Moreover, in addition to these strange beasts in the woods, there are also many mutated birds in the sky that are eyeing them.
Therefore, Du Jiujiu, who was running at the front, became the best target to attract them.
Mutated insects, big birds, strange beasts... Du Jiujiu killed countless people along the way, but they couldn't take these trophies with them.
Because there were so many of these mutated creatures, it didn't take long for Du Jiujiu to be eager to try from the very beginning, but became a little unable to do so.
Fortunately, when Du Jiujiu was tired of dealing with it, Hu Xiaoyun's fireballs could always fill the gaps in Du Jiujiu's defense in a timely manner. Although the journey was embarrassing, he still returned to the base completely.
When they arrived near the base, there were only a few alien beasts following them. After killing the last few alien beasts, Du Jiujiu asked Hu Xiaoyun and Wei Qingqing to get off Xiaobai first, and then he picked up An Cheng.
Let Xiaobai return to the size of an ordinary kitten and lie on his shoulders.
Because in the Imperial Capital base, ordinary residents are prohibited from raising exotic animals, but ordinary pets are not prohibited.
In order to avoid trouble, Du Jiujiu kept Xiaobai in his original form in the base. Xiaobai seemed to understand these principles and never expressed dissatisfaction with this.
When they came to the base gate and prepared to enter the base with the base residents who had returned from missions, the gatekeeper spotted them at a glance and called them out from the crowd.
At this time, their bodies were all stained with blood, and their hair and clothes were messy. They were very conspicuous among the crowd. After all, even if the residents living in the base came out to do tasks, few would make themselves in such a mess.
.
The gatekeeper interrogated them for a while, until Du Jiujiu produced their identity information. The gatekeeper reluctantly believed that they were not refugees who had just arrived at the base, and raised his hand to let them in.
After experiencing a life-and-death crisis, everyone was already very tired. When they returned to the base, they did not even bother to exchange for mission rewards, but went straight to their small courtyard.
When Du Jiujiu and others went back, Lin Lin happened to be growing plants in the yard. She saw their embarrassed appearance through the fence, and couldn't help being frightened. She didn't care about half of the vegetables that had grown. She got up and pushed open the courtyard door.
Ran over.
"Sister Jiujiu, where have you been? Sister An Cheng, what happened to her!?"
"I went out to do a mission. An Cheng was slightly injured, but it's nothing serious. Don't worry, we'll be fine after we rest for a while." Du Jiujiu smiled at Lin Lin comfortingly, but this smile matched hers.
With his face covered in blood, he looked a lot less convincing.
In fact, Du Jiujiu did not expect that with their strength, they could be injured like this while doing tasks near the base.
The four of them were all fine when they left in the morning, but now they are all more or less injured and their powers have been exhausted. They are simply exhausted both mentally and physically.
Lin Lin was a careful little girl. When Du Jiujiu said this, she was not in a hurry to defend herself. She just said, "I'll come back later," and then turned around and returned to her yard.
Du Jiujiu didn't worry too much, just smiled, and then she and her companions helped each other back home.
The moment she walked into the house, Du Jiujiu felt that she finally relaxed. Only then did she feel that her whole body was wet, sticky and very uncomfortable.
She carried An Cheng back to the bedroom first, changed out of her blood-soaked clothes, soaked the towel, and gently wiped the blood on her body.
Seeing that An Cheng's condition seemed better and his breathing was still steady, Du Jiujiu breathed a sigh of relief, returned to the bathroom in his room, and rinsed himself off.
When Du Jiujiu changed clothes and came out of the bedroom, she found Hu Xiaoyun and Wei Qingqing resting on the sofa with Xiaobai in their arms.
They all also put on clean home clothes. Apart from their pale faces, they seemed to have recovered slightly.
Seeing Du Jiujiu, both of their eyes shone brightly.
"Jiujiu, now it's time for you to tell us about your newly awakened power, right?"
"This..." Du Jiujiu didn't know how to speak for a while. After all, she had just come into contact with this new ability, and her understanding of this ability was only at the exploratory stage. There was really no way to fully summarize the role of this ability.
Du Jiujiu thought for a while and simply raised a hand in the direction of Wei Qingqing and Hu Xiaoyun.
"How about I demonstrate it to you."
Before the two of them could answer, the light in Du Jiujiu's palm became dim again. At the same time, both of them felt that there seemed to be a force pulling them towards Du Jiujiu.
"ah!!"
Wei Qingqing screamed and hugged Hu Xiaoyun tightly at the side, but before they could make the next move, the suction force had disappeared.
"That's it." Du Jiujiu put down her arms. She felt a little tired, so she also sat on the sofa.
"My new awakening is an ability similar to attraction. Apart from 'attracting monsters', I haven't found any other uses for it yet."
"Oh my God, Sister Jiujiu, this is already amazing! Besides, this is the second power you have awakened!" Wei Qingqing's eyes were bright and she blinked at Du Jiujiu.
"Whoa! Attract monsters! Whoa! Kill with a big knife! Sister Jiujiu, you are so awesome!"
Hu Xiaoyun was also very excited: "This ability is very powerful against small group organisms like insects. It can just make up for your shortcomings in this area. Moreover, this ability has just been awakened. There will definitely be more ways to use it in the future."
Waiting for you to dig it out!”
Du Jiujiu also smiled happily after hearing this. In fact, she was also very satisfied with her new ability. Anyway, at least she saved them once today.
After this demonstration, the energy that Du Jiujiu had just recovered was exhausted. She was tired and hungry, and her stomach began to growl.
Du Jiujiu's face turned red and she said, "Let's eat something first and then rest."
Wei Qingqing and Hu Xiaoyun also nodded repeatedly, got up and went to the kitchen to rummage, but they did not prepare any food before leaving. There was nothing else to eat in the kitchen except some dried meat.
At this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang outside the house.
Chapter completed!
