Chapter 177 Inspection
Miao Yin stopped burning the incantation. Yao Yue lay on the ground, half-dead, breathing weakly.
Yu Wenwen obeyed the order and immediately began treating Gong Jingming's injuries, healing the hideous wound on his back.
Yan Shuzhou took a handkerchief and gently wiped away the almost dried blood from Miao Yin's hands.
"Where's Tu Hao?" She realized someone was missing.
“He left not long after you left, saying he didn’t want to cooperate anymore,” Ling said.
"Nothing has changed at all."
A lone wolf is a lone wolf. After all this time, the other party still can't integrate into team life. If it weren't for being forcibly bound by the curse, it probably would have run away long ago.
"Let him be, he'll come back on his own eventually."
Miao Yin kicked the now-recovered Gong Jingming, and seeing that he didn't react, she used the Spell of Seeing.
"Well."
Awakened from his coma by excruciating pain, Gong Jingming gasped for breath and finally opened his eyes. In the hazy world, the first thing he saw was Yao Yue lying on the ground, her life hanging in the balance.
He immediately regained consciousness and recalled everything that had happened before he lost consciousness. He first touched his back and was shocked to find that the wound had completely disappeared.
Yu Wenwen, who was squatting next to him, said, "Don't worry, my superpower has completely healed you."
"...Healing?" Gong Jingming quickly realized the other party's ability.
It's unbelievable that a teenager would have such superpowers; no wonder they took her with them.
He stood up. The woman who had slashed him was also there. Gong Jingming looked at Yao Yue and breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw that she was still alive and had no external injuries.
"What did you do to us?" He didn't think the other party would let them off so easily; they must have left some backup plan.
"What have you done?"
Miao Yin grabbed Yao Yue's clothes and lifted her up, making her raise her head to reveal the mark on her forehead: "My special ability, the ability to see curses, is the power to control your life and death."
Gong Jingming's expression changed.
"Cough cough..." Yao Yue coughed, her face pale.
She wasn't a mercenary with high pain tolerance; a few minutes of the curse was enough for her to feel like she had died once.
"But none of that matters. You'll understand later." Miao Yin let go, allowing Yao Yue to fall back to the ground.
She said, "Let's try it out first."
"Tell me about your special abilities. Don't lie, not even a single word. Otherwise, I'll have to consider which part of you I'll turn to ashes. Yao Yue, you should know that, right?" The girl lowered her eyes, her sweet tone laced with a hidden threat.
Yao Yue trembled and nodded weakly.
She doesn't dare to resist at all now.
"Yao Yue..."
Gong Jingming stepped forward and helped her up, pulling her to his side, but she was in so much pain that she had no strength left, so he had to let her sit on the ground leaning against him.
At least it will keep me away from them.
Yao Yue's eyelashes trembled slightly as she said, "My superpower is called the Barrier of All Things. It can create a transparent barrier that shields you from all special forces, including things like poison gas. It can also separate the superpower to protect others individually, but it only lasts for one hour."
"Not bad," Miao Yin said.
There are many defensive superpowers, but there are very few that can both provide special strength and block physical attacks.
Since she awakened her powers, this is the first ability that can block curses.
Moreover, Yao Yue was even able to withstand the mental attacks of Yan Guishe Yandie.
"And you?" Miao Yin's gaze shifted to Gong Jingming.
Looking at Yao Yue's bloodless face, Gong Jingming frowned, paused for two seconds, and then said briefly:
"My special ability is called the Flowerless Bitter Gu, which can summon conscious, living plants."
Which plants?
He took a deep breath and said, "There are only six types so far. The one outside just now was a vampire vine. It will suck blood when it wraps around you, and the more blood it sucks, the stronger it becomes."
"The man-eating flower only devours living creatures, and its sap contains a corrosive liquid."
"The roses planted here are called Blue Enchantresses. They emit a special fragrance that can induce hallucinations."
"Blue Moon Flower, its heart can connect to my eyes, serving as a tool for exploration."
"Bottle tree, it is not aggressive, but the trunk is hollow, which is used to store things. We put things that are inconvenient to carry inside."
"And there's the Hundred Life Willow we just saw. Its branches are stronger than those of ordinary willows, and both the tree and its branches are flexible."
Miao Yin raised an eyebrow: "A bottle tree for storing things? Is the space large? Can it hold living things? How long can things be stored there?"
"...Not big, about the size of an ordinary tree, it can hold living things, and the time is the same as outside." Gong Jingming didn't quite understand what the other party meant by asking these questions.
"But you can summon a lot, right?"
"Ah."
"Finally, something useful has come..." Miao Yin murmured to herself.
The red willow branches disappeared, and seeing that Yao Yue was still out of breath, Miao Yin asked You Wenwen to treat her as well to help her regain her strength.
Yao Yue then stood up unsteadily.
In the blink of an eye, Miao Yin suddenly appeared in front of her, as if a frame had been suddenly erased from a screen.
She let out a rapid gasp and instinctively took two steps back.
Miao Yin patted her head and said affectionately, "Don't be so nervous, we're good friends now."
Yao Yue took two steps back and bumped into Gong Jingming. Without hesitation, Gong Jingming reached out to slap Miao Yin's hand away and get her away from Yao Yue.
The next moment, his wrist was grabbed.
With one hand pressing down on the trembling Yao Yue, and the other hand grabbing Gong Jingming, Miao Yin said with a half-smile, "It's impolite to interrupt others, and besides, we're teammates now, Gong Jingming, be good."
“Jingming, please don’t…” Yao Yue tugged at his arm, her eyes filled with fear.
—Don't mess with her.
—That feeling of your soul being burned is worse than death.
Gong Jingming's eyes widened slightly, and he finally lowered his hand.
Miao Yin nodded in satisfaction: "Newcomers need to have this kind of awareness. Society is cruel, and those who can't adapt will be devoured."
“You arrived before us, tell us about this zoo, where is the most dangerous place?”
Gong Jingming said, "We haven't been to many places. If we had to say, the mountains are the most dangerous."
They are currently located below the zoo, and there are many attractions further up the stone steps.
And those places are usually used to imprison terrifying beasts.
"Then let's go up the mountain," Miao Yin readily agreed.
