Chapter 18 Clues
Feeling the knife light coming towards him, Xia Yitiao felt his heartbeat suddenly quicken. He had been in the martial arts world for many years, but had never felt the threat of death so directly.
But he is not without a way to escape!
Thinking of this, he hurriedly activated his demonic power and performed the teleportation technique. He could only use this technique once every half a month. Now that he used it here to save his own life, it was not a loss.
Therefore, when the Rabbit Hero swung his knife, Xia Yitiao used magic to escape from here. As the attack failed, the knife light went straight to the ground, leaving a deep and long groove.
After delivering that blow, Rabbit Hero was gasping for breath, feeling completely exhausted. Even though he knew that Shrimp had already escaped, he no longer had the energy to chase him.
Then his eyes blurred and Rabbit Hero vaguely saw a big white cat running towards him. Then, his eyes went black and he completely lost consciousness.
Big Cat ran to Rabbit Man, looked at him lying on the ground, sighed resignedly, then lowered his head, held him in his mouth and walked towards Jiang Yuan...
Seeing that Big Cat brought everything to her, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but roll her eyes at it and said, "The big repair technique is the most energy-consuming. I'm very hungry now and I can't save you."
Unexpectedly, Big Cat just threw Rabbit Hero to the ground. After hearing Jiang Yuan's words, he shook his head decisively and ignored the monster thrown to the ground. Instead, he ran to Jiang Yuan and lay down behind her, letting her lean on him comfortably.
Jiang Yuan was staring blankly at the furry touch behind her. At a certain moment, she suddenly understood what Big Cat was thinking.
The cloaked monster with red claws named "Xia Yitiao" said that Rabbit Hero has clues to the treasure that protects the clan, so... he can't be in trouble now.
After figuring this out, she prepared to stand up and use the Great Repair Technique on Rabbit Man again.
As if the big cat had guessed her thoughts, it raised its paw and placed it on her shoulder, pushing her back down.
"Yuan, he's just injured and unconscious. He'll wake up soon. You don't have to worry about him."
The voice is soft and cute, with a hint of gentleness. Once heard, it seems to make people let down all their defenses. It sounds particularly familiar.
Jiang Yuan's eyes widened instantly, and he was stunned for a moment. Then he turned around and looked at Big Cat in disbelief.
"Big Cat, is it... is it you who is talking?"
Big Cat grinned and said, "It's me, it's me."
Jiang Yuan finally recovered from her shock. She glanced at the unconscious Rabbit Man and decided to believe what Big Cat said.
So he focused all his attention on the big cat, looked at its eyes that were like glass balls, raised his hand and touched its neck, and continued to ask: "How come you can speak suddenly?"
Big Cat also looked confused and replied: "I don't know either. I just got anxious and suddenly I started talking."
Jiang Yuan didn't ask any more questions. After thinking about it, he simply attributed it to the magical power of Big Cat.
She was about to ask it another question when she heard the unconscious Rabbit Man beside her suddenly cough a few times. She looked back and saw that he slowly woke up and staggered to sit up.
"He woke up so soon. It seems that the injury is not serious." Jiang Yuan said in a low voice.
Rabbit Man moved his ears and listened carefully to her words. He found that he was lying not far from the fire. There were some water stains on his clothes, which were sticky and smelled a faint odor. He looked up at Jiang Yuan. It was unlikely that he was this small. He looked at Big Cat and understood and guessed who dragged him here.
But he also knew who was in charge of this man and cat, so he raised his paw towards Jiang Yuan and asked, "I can't repay you for saving my life, is there anything you want?"
Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment, remembering that he had mentioned Rabbit Village when he was fighting another monster just now. After hesitating for a while, he mustered up the courage to ask, "Just now I heard you say that you are a villager of Rabbit Village?"
Although Rabbit Man didn't understand why she asked this, he did mention this place.
Faced with this irrefutable question, he nodded and replied, "Yes."
Jiang Yuan's eyes lit up a little, and she asked again: "That shrimp..." At this point, she thought for a while, and after remembering the name of the shrimp monster, she continued to ask: "Do you really have the treasure that protects the tribe that the shrimp mentioned?"
Rabbit Hero was slightly stunned: Are we always so direct when asking monsters questions these days?
But he immediately laughed sarcastically and couldn't help but say, "So you saved me because you wanted to protect the treasure of your clan."
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan shook his head, thought for a moment and said, "If I say that I didn't know you were a monster from Rabbit Village at first, and I saved you just by chance, would you believe me?"
She looked calm. If Big Cat hadn't discovered that he was seriously injured and wanted to save him, she would not have meddled in his affairs.
However, judging from the current situation, it was the right decision to save him!
Rabbit Man looked at her from a distance, sizing her up for a long time, not knowing whether to believe it or not, and only said, "The treasure that protects the clan is not with me."
"If that's the case, why did the shrimp..."
Although the village chief had said that only she, as the savior, could go to the seven tribes to open the barrier and obtain the treasure that protected the tribe, this conclusion was after all what several elders said when they went to get the things thousands of years ago. Now that so many years have passed, maybe they already have a way to open the barrier.
The Rabbit Man's expression was hard to read, and he said, "Before I go into detail about this matter, can I ask you a few questions?"
Seeing Jiang Yuan nod, he frowned and asked seriously, "Where are you from? Why do you know about the treasure that protects the clan?"
The treasure that protects the tribe is a secret in the demon world, and even he only knew about it because the rabbit tribe leader entrusted him with it before his death. However, this creature in front of him, who was not sure whether it was a demon or a monster, sounded so familiar to him, which was really strange.
Jiang Yuan didn't want to hide it from him. After all, from what he said just now, all the people in Rabbit Village had been massacred, and the tribe leader was not spared. If she really wanted to collect the treasure to protect the tribe, she could only look for clues from Rabbit Hero.
Thinking of this, she answered word by word: "I was entrusted by the chief and elders of the Monster Village to go to the seven tribes to collect treasures to protect the tribe, condense the magic pill, and repair the land and sea barrier."
Rabbit Man was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly realized: No wonder he didn't sense any demonic power fluctuations from her, and she didn't look weird like a wild monster. It turned out that she was the legendary...
Thinking of this, he felt that he had recovered some strength, so he quickly stood up and walked towards Jiang Yuan and Da Miao.
Jiang Yuan looked at the approaching Rabbit Man and was about to retreat. Big Cat also made defensive and attack-preparing gestures, but he saw Rabbit Man using his magic power to cover their location with a protective shield made of magic power.
He was very respectful and bowed deeply, saying, "I was rude to you earlier. I didn't know your identity and background, so I'm sorry for the offense. I hope you can forgive me."
Seeing Jiang Yuan and Da Miao looking up at the demon power shield, he explained with a complicated expression: "The demon world is full of good and bad people. Next time if a demon asks you like I just did, just say you are from the demon village. Don't easily reveal your identity as the savior."
"why?"
