Although Chi Yu is very concerned about all the secrets that involve herself, she is not the kind of reckless person who insists on having her own way and doesn't know how to read eyes.

Knowing that the other party is unwilling to tell the answer, and even carefully weaving a "trap" for her, if she continues to dig into the matter without knowing what she is talking about... she will be bored.

What's more, Chi Yu also had some guesses as to why Shi Ling took a high look at himself.

As an NPC, she can still compete with the monsters on Huan Mountain. As an NPC with a status close to that of a god, Shi Ling most likely felt the aura belonging to Elniya when she used the crown to appease the King of Kite and Purple Flower.

He knows so much about the subordinates of the Four Pillar Gods... and he should also have some information about the followers of the "Netherworld and Dark Abyss".

First, I was curious about Elniya, and then I transferred this emotion to a low-level player who has access to "gods", and then I wanted to test what is so special about this guy by being alone...

Well, this chain of logic is very reasonable.

Chi Yu raised his eyes and threw out all the messy thoughts in his mind.

What was close at hand was the "back mountain" that she had seen with Qi Yue and Qin Zhen yesterday evening.

However, due to the different directions, Chi Yu did not find the familiar trail that led directly to the mountainside. He only vaguely saw a crooked row of fallen grass, which should have been stepped on by the young man before when he went up and down the mountain.

In such a large area, looking for those "cocoons" that have never been seen before... without any special methods, is it a bit too difficult?

Chi Yu glanced around, and as soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Shi Ling in front of him raised his hand.

A butterfly the size of the palm of your hand, emitting a faint blue light all over its body, landed gracefully and settled on the young man's curled index finger very obediently.

...Netherworld Butterfly?

Chi Yu remembered the name of this "prop".

If I remember correctly, its function seems to be to "find the place with the strongest spiritual power fluctuations within a certain range"...

If Shi Ling had a sufficient number of these butterflies in his hands, finding the "cocoon" would not be as difficult as imagined.

"This butterfly is named 'Netherworld' and comes from... the famous Jedi among us natives of the Egg World, Netherworld Abyss."

Shi Ling carefully explained to Chi Yu, the "foreign bumpkin", "They feed on spiritual power, so they are particularly sensitive to it. As long as it is released..."

He raised his fingers lightly.

As if sensing the "master's" thoughts, the blue butterfly spread its wings and flew towards the mountain forest where the shadows of the trees were swaying.

Nearly half an hour passed.

Chi Yu glanced back and made some judgment in his mind...realizing that the height they were at now was already higher than yesterday, and...may even be close to the area where the "formation base" was located.

After climbing up in a roundabout way for a while, the new "Netherworld Butterfly" that was released once again stopped its forward momentum and only circled back and forth in front of Chi Yu and others... like a bee reporting a message. Same.

Shi Ling took it back: "There is something in front of it that makes it extremely frightened. It should be the 'cocoon' that the villagers call it."

Chi Yu nodded, and a laurel wreath quietly appeared in her hand.

Aware of the gazes coming from beside him, Chi Yu became more and more certain about his previous guess.

She pretended not to notice: "Do you want to keep moving forward?"

"Go on." Shi Ling maintained his usual gentle smile, "We have come this far. If we don't get a glimpse of the real face, wouldn't it be a waste of all the hard work that we have done before?"

Chi Yu responded and took the lead to bypass a broad-leaved tree blocking the road.

After about ten meters, something other than trees and grass blades finally appeared in the field of vision.

Chi Yu stopped and his eyes narrowed slightly.

They are one by one... oval "cocoons" wrapped heavily in bandage-like strips. Some of them are lying flat on the ground, and some are hanging among the treetops. The colors are golden, dark brown, and light. Various greens.

A large number of "cocoons" were densely packed, almost occupying Chi Yu's entire field of vision. A rough estimate...the number was definitely no less than five hundred.

From a distance...it looks as absurd and...weird as a fairy tale.

Chi Yu frowned and suppressed the discomfort rising in his heart.

Although these "cocoons" look... creepy, they don't seem to fit well with the word "angel".

After hesitating for a moment, Chi Yu still stepped forward to commit suicide with [Elnia's Crown] in hand.

Although it stands to reason that the monsters in Shenyou Village, which can be resisted by ordinary people with low spiritual power, are certainly not very strong... But why should she have to fight in a group with her teammates and partners at this time? How about a duel with them?

Just as she was thinking about it, Shi Ling, who was standing next to her, picked up a piece of gravel and threw it with unusual precision on one of the "cocoons" lying on the grass!

"!"

The moment he picked up the stone, Chi Yu was startled and took half a step back calmly.

But the good news is... the monster inside doesn't seem to realize that anyone is "disturbing" it, and is still lying quietly in the thick "cocoon".

"It seems they haven't fully developed yet." Shi Ling stopped, "They shouldn't be able to break out of their cocoons in a short time."

Chi Yu glanced at him: "...What if they really come out?"

"Wouldn't it be better to kill him?"

The other party had a matter-of-fact expression, "It can also relieve some pressure on Qi Sheng and the others, why not?"

...You haven't considered the possibility of dying from exhaustion in a carousel battle with hundreds of monsters, have you?

Also, you are powerful, so you are naturally confident that you can survive the siege of monsters... What? The life and death of teammates?

what is that?

Can you eat?

Chi Yu complained in his heart.

She turned around and just took a step forward. After thinking about it, she said, "There are no useful clues. How about going back?"

"Okay." Shi Ling responded gently, as if he was completely unaware of his teammate's momentary dislike.

……

The two of them went down the mountain smoothly. They first looked around the abandoned courtyard. After failing to find anyone, they went straight to the "ancestral hall" in the center of the village.

As expected, Qi Yue Qisheng, the two backbones of Shenyou Village, the five players, the "Orions" with various weapons, and the terrified villagers all gathered in the open space outside the ancestral hall.

There were a lot of people...but it was so quiet that only the gentle sound of the wind could be heard.

Seeing Chi Yu and the others, Qin Zhen and Qi Sheng, who were standing in front of the crowd, immediately came out to greet them one after another.

The former couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that none of them were injured.

Qi Sheng, who was standing behind, had a serious expression on his face: "How is the situation in the north?"
