When it was time to sleep, Tang Li was still wondering if she should let Qiqi sleep with them.
Unexpectedly, Qiqi crawled into the nest Qi Yihan made for him and Linlin and closed his eyes.
Tang Li and Qi Yihan looked at each other. Tang Li smiled and said, “Is Qiqi still not used to being human?”
Qi Yihan took out a blanket from Tang Li’s bag, folded it, and covered Qiqi.
Qiqi opened his eyes and wanted to push the blanket away.
Qi Yihan said in a low voice, “Everyone needs a blanket. Otherwise, they will catch a cold.”
Qiqi withdrew his hand and hid himself in the blanket.
Only then did Qi Yihan walk back to Tang Li.
Linlin, who was sleeping in another nest, playfully stretched out a hand and pulled Qiqi’s blanket. Qiqi grabbed it with his little hand.
Tang Li smiled and said to Linlin, “Linlin, don’t mess with Qiqi. Go to sleep.”
Only then did Linlin obediently close her eyes.
The next morning, before Tang Li opened her eyes, she heard Linlin’s voice outside the cave. “Qiqi, you’re amazing. You can fly now.”
Tang Li removed the blanket, put on her clothes, and walked out. She saw Qi Yihan watching Qiqi practice under the tree.
Qiqi was jumping at least two meters high on the ground with ease.
Linlin squatted at the side and cheered him on.
Qi Yihan said, “Since you can transform into a human, it means that your ability has been greatly improved. Although I don’t know how the Kylin uses its power, I’ve read an ancient book that has a method to utilize internal energy. You can try it.”
Qi Yihan then told him how to utilize the internal energy.
Qiqi did as he said and the result was surprisingly good.
Tang Li sat down by a tree with her legs stretched out as she watched Qiqi train.
The two of them trained for nearly half an hour before Qi Yihan said, “That’s enough. We’ll stop here this morning.”
With that, he turned to look at Tang Li, who was sitting by the tree.
Tang Li smiled at her and said, “I think Qiqi can find some ferocious animals to fight with. This might be able to stimulate his combat skills.”
Even if he was not a combat-type divine beast, dealing with ordinary ferocious beast was nothing to him.
Qi Yihan felt that it made sense and said, “After dinner, I’ll bring Qiqi to look for ferocious animals to fight. You and Linlin can go look for herbs.”
“Okay,” Qiqi replied.
After dinner, the two of them split up.
Tang Li was relieved that there was nothing nearby that could hurt Qi Yihan, so she took Linlin deeper into the mountain, not feeling worried.
The air in the no man’s land was very good. When the sun shone through the leaves, it scattered into thousands of small dots on the ground.
Qi Yihan led Qiqi to fight the ferocious beasts as they walked.
At first, Qiqi’s body was not coordinated, so he needed help from Qi Yihan. But later on, as if all his skills were activated, Qiqi could breathe fire and turn invisible.
Qi Yihan stood at the side and watched him fight.
Half a day passed quickly.
At noon, Qi Yihan contacted Tang Li via voice transmission talisman.
Tang Li said, “Linlin and I went to a very large valley. There are many herbs here. We might come back late.”
Qi Yihan, “Alright, be careful.”
Tang Li, “Yes, you too.”
After dinner, Qi Yihan brought Qiqi to find a few more ferocious beasts to fight. At around four in the afternoon, he prepared to bring Qiqi back to the cave.
Many of the creatures here were more or less intelligent. Alerted by the powerful intruder, the creatures gathered around to ambush Qiqi.
As soon as the two of them sensed the dangerous aura coming from all directions, they guessed what was going on.
Qiqi stood in front of Qi Yihan protectively and said, “First Master, go up the tree. I’ll deal with them.”
As Linlin spoke, the beasts around revealed themselves from behind the trees and rocks.
The birds on this tree were all frightened and flew away.
There were more beasts surrounding them than they expected.
Qi Yihan looked at Qiqi, who couldn’t wait for the fight to start, and thought for a while. He felt that this kind of fight might be able to activate Qiqi’s transformation ability, so he quickly moved to the distance and said to Qiqi, “If you can’t hold on anymore, you have to tell me.”
He had the escape talisman Tang Li gave him, so it could come in handy.
“Okay,” Qiqi replied.
The ferocious beasts approached, and the ground trembled violently.
Qiqi was just about to fight when he saw the ferocious beasts surrounding him.
The ferocious beasts were all very large. Once they surrounded Qiqi, Qi Yihan could no longer see his body.
For a moment, sand, stones, and leaves flew everywhere, as if the world was turned upside down. Qi Yihan, who was standing on the tree, could only see the withered branches and stones that were swept up. He couldn’t see who was who.
The fight lasted for more than half an hour. Seeing that only a few beasts were sent flying, Qi Yihan was worried that Linlin would be exhausted. He thought for a second before taking out his gun and jumping down.
When the beasts were fighting, they all let out deafening roars, making the mountain tremble.
When the gunshot was heard, a ferocious beast was knocked down and the fight finally stopped.
At the same time, Qiqi, who was in ragged clothes and covered in injuries, was revealed.
Qi Yihan quickly rushed over and wrapped an escape talisman around his waist. The two of them disappeared in front of the beasts.
After a moment of confusion, the group of ferocious beasts chased after them by smelling them.
Qi Yihan ran with Qiqi in his arms, but the longer he ran, the more beasts were there chasing after them.
Wherever they went, mountains collapsed and the earth split. Sand and stones flew everywhere, and many large trees were broken down by the ferocious beasts.
Luckily, Tang Li’s escape talisman was very fast. After running for a long time, they finally shook off all the beasts.
Qi Yihan then put Qiqi down.
There were wounds and bruises on Qiqi’s body and face, making him look pitiful.
Qi Yihan rubbed his head and asked, “Can you cure yourself?”
Qiqi lowered his head in shame. “First Master, I haven’t learned that yet.”
Qi Yihan touched his head again and said, “Then find some herbs and I’ll apply them for you.”
“Okay,” Qiqi replied.
Qiqi was very good at finding herbs. He led Qi Yihan through the forest and arrived at a deep pool under a waterfall.
The water here was dark green. Qiqi said to Qi Yihan, “First Master, don’t go near the water over there. There’s something underneath there.”
Qi Yihan nodded and said, “Tell me which herbs I need. I’ll go pick them.”
Qiqi pointed at a few herbs.
Qi Yihan went to pick the herbs and smashed them into ointment before applying it on Qiqi’s wounds.
The two of them did not notice that when they were focused on the wounds, mist started to rise around them and quickly enveloped them.
When the two of them felt that something was wrong, their minds went blank at the same time and they lost consciousness.
