Reborn as a short-lived loli who can only live for three years

Outside a cave, there was a large patch of Tianxing Gu grass. The damp cold air in the cave continued to dissipate. The sunlight shone outside the cave, turning the moisture into a large patch of white mist that clung to the herb.

The surface of the leaves of the Tianxing Gu Grass was covered with dewdrops, and white reptiles slowly passed by, gnawing on the leaves.

Inside the damp and dim cave, adult white reptiles are longer and have more tentacles. They crawl deeper along the inner walls of the cave, as if looking for their own resting place.

There are also many adult reptiles gathered in the depths, some of which are already dead. Their corpses slowly dissolve into pale liquid, dyeing the stone walls below white.

"Are these really what we are looking for?" Chu Yu's shadow clone stood outside the cave. Although she was in the form of a shadow, she still carefully avoided the insects.

“Not exactly…” Ivy’s real body stood aside, carefully avoiding the soft ground and leaving no footprints. “But the poison in our bodies is indeed related to this thing.”

Time was running out, so she could only explain as she went along.

"Do you have any impression of its bite marks?"

Ivy picked a few leaves with creepers on them and carefully put them into a small collection box.

The bite marks left by chewing on the leaves are very distinctive in shape, like two opposite crescents.

"No." Chu Yu's shadow clone answered, and then asked uncertainly, "You mean when you were in the orphanage?"

"Ah."

"……No."

In the orphanage’s daily training, they were often covered in wounds after fighting, so even one more wound would be difficult to detect.

"I have. I have seen it."

Ivy thought for a moment and corrected himself, "I've seen bugs that look similar."

I remember it was a few months before the final fight and she was caught skipping classes again.

In the past, after being caught, the teachers at the orphanage would lock her up in a confinement room and let her starve for a few meals, which was just a painless punishment for her.

After all, there is no need to train, fight or listen to lectures in the confinement room, and there is almost no harm in it except that you are a little hungry.

But only that time, she was taken to a basement.

The teacher was holding a large jar with a small mouth and a large belly. One couldn't see what was inside, but could hear some crawling sounds coming from inside.

Ignoring her protests, the teacher stuffed her hand into the jar.

Countless insects were gnawing at her arms.

She was terrified and struggled desperately.

Finally the teacher let her go and took her hand out.

"One of the bite marks is this shape." She suddenly ended the story and brought out the key point.

Ivy picked a lot of clean Tianxing Gu grass and put them in a dark-colored herb bag. When she felt that the quantity was enough, she quickly returned while clearing away all traces of her past.

“You still remembered the bite marks in that situation…” Chu Yu couldn’t help but marvel at Ivy’s mental strength.

She attached her shadow clone to Ivy's shadow and acted with Ivy.

"well enough."

It was just a week of nightmares.

"When they were biting me, I used magic to control one of the bugs and shared its vision."

There were reptiles of different types and numbers in the jars. Many of them had been eaten to death, and the survivors were still killing each other, as if they were selecting a king insect.

Her magic controlled a bug eye and watched the fight to the end.

The ultimate winner is this mutant of white reptile.

……

Originally, this was just a terrible memory buried in my mind.

According to the information obtained in the first round, the toxicity of the blue flower will become difficult to suppress over time, and eventually even the antidote will lose its effect.

Regarding the true identity of the blue flower, Ivy actually preferred the third possibility over the common herbal poison and curse poison...it might be a poisonous insect.

So until she found this cave and saw the familiar bite marks and similar insect bodies, her dusty memories were awakened at that moment.

Everything seemed to be coming together.

"You are very strong." Chu Yu said.

……

……

If the gardener found that one of his surveillance targets was missing, he would definitely become suspicious. Unfortunately, he only had a pair of legs, and if he went to look for Ivy, Chu Yu would escape from his sight. He was still thinking about the choice.

"He has started looking for you and has not yet left his free range." The shadow under her feet reminded her.

“I’m already very fast.” Ivy moved quickly among the grass and trees.

According to her speculation, this kind of insect is very sensitive to the magic in the environment because the area where they grow is so pure under the influence of fog that there is not a trace of magical impurities.

So in order to avoid affecting the characteristics of the bugs, Ivy did not choose to let the fantasy creatures catch them, but did it himself.

"He left the exploration team, and I followed him secretly." Chu Yu continued.

But not long after, she uttered a doubtful voice: "Don't come back yet, he seems..."

"What's wrong?" Ivy stopped.

Chu Yu controlled her shadow clone to secretly follow the gardener, and only after a while did she tell him her conclusion.

"He seemed to have received a signal and headed straight for the cave we were in."

"Receive...signal?"

Ivy's head buzzed, and he had a bad feeling.

how is this possible.

There are clearly no magical mechanisms near that cave?

Ivy quietly turned back the way she came. She wanted to see what kind of signal the gardener had received.

"Be careful." Chu Yu did not stop him. She also felt that it would be better to confirm it with her own eyes.

If the gardener really discovered their little tricks and reported it truthfully, things would become troublesome.

Ivy hid in the bushes farther away, and had a clear view of the scene in front of the cave.

"coming."

As Chu Yu reminded, the sound of quickly approaching footsteps was heard in the distance.

Gardener Robani appeared outside the cave and looked around.

He was panting, and it was obvious that he was running at the fastest speed in his life.

Since he came straight here, it means they were not in the wrong place.

What an immature, third-rate gardener he is. He is actually providing them with information in disguised form.

Evie watched with bated breath.

Chu Yu's shadow clone enveloped her completely, making her aura and magic power even more difficult to detect.

As they watched, Robani took out a transparent box.

A bluish-purple reptile was lying quietly in the box. Its appearance was almost the same as the white reptile nearby, except that it was larger.

Robani feeds it a little magic.

The reptile seemed to be awakened again and made a high-frequency sound, which led other white reptiles around it to also make a hissing sound like cicadas.

Evie's white reptile in a box is no exception.

Robani keenly caught the sound in the distance. He turned around and stared at the bush where Ivy was hiding.

The large reptile faced in her direction and continued to let out a sharp hiss.
