Chapter 161 Earthquake 3 (Update 1)

Yu Yi finally got up from the ground and checked if the child was injured. He found that the child was still asleep and knew that he was fine. He breathed a sigh of relief and quickly helped his wife up, then continued to go downstairs along the wall.

This time Zhong Yun did not argue with him anymore. If she had the time, she would probably get out successfully. If she really had to..., she would not let them, father and son, be buried with her.

After making up her mind, she obediently followed him.

There was no light and it was pitch black. They could only walk by feeling the wall and almost fell down several times.

Just as we reached the first floor and were about to walk out of the safety door, the magnitude of the earthquake suddenly increased, making the entire hotel seem to be shaking constantly.

"Wife, we're almost there, as long as we make a little more effort..."

Boom~Boom~ Before he could finish his words, the building shook again, and then the cracks in the ground opened wider and began to sink deeper, while more sand and rocks fell from above their heads and hit them.

Yu Yi had to endure the pain and bend slightly to hold the child in his arms. For a moment, his attention was not on Zhong Yun. Zhong Yun felt that his hand holding him loosened a little, and he made a decision at the moment and pushed him towards the safety door.

"Wife..." Yu Yi screamed in shock when he found that Zhong Yun had broken free from his hand. He wanted to reach out to grab her, but there was nothing.

At this time, two flashlights shone in, and soon two people rushed in. They were Shen Ran and Li Xu.

The flashlight made the situation inside clear at a glance.

The ground where Zhong Yun had just stood had sunk into a huge pit, several meters deep, and she also fell down. If she hadn't pushed Yu Yi just now, Yu Yi would have fallen into the deep pit by now.

This is also the reason why Yu Yi failed to catch her when he turned around.

Just now she pushed Yu Yi hard and didn't have time to scream when she fell. At this moment, her face was ferocious, her teeth were clenched tightly, and her hands were struggling to grab the ground that had not sunk, trying her best to prevent herself from falling.

Seeing this scene, Yu Yi was even more shocked and wanted to go forward and pull her up.

Fortunately, Shen Ran stopped him and said, "We are here, you can take the child out quickly."

"But......"

"Don't say but. You will only be a hindrance if you continue to stay here." Shen Ran said expressionlessly.

"Okay, I'll go out." After hesitating for a few seconds, Yu Yi thought that with Shen Ran there, the chances of rescuing people would be higher than if he went alone, so he had to go out with Li Xu's protection with a worried mood.

The earthquake was still going on, and the deep pit sank several meters deeper.

Zhong Yun had used up all her strength and had no more power to hold on. The fingers that were clawing at the ground kept sliding down one by one until the last finger fell down. She screamed and began to fall down herself.

In a flash, Shen Ran jumped down quickly, hugged Zhong Yun when she was about to fall to the bottom of the pit, and then used the fallen rubble and the pit wall to push up. During this time, rubble fell on them, but Shen Ran blocked it with his other hand and waved it to other places.

At this time, the magnitude of the earthquake increased again, and the hotel where they were staying could be seen visibly sinking.

When Yu Yi heard his wife's scream, he paused and wanted to fall back. Li Xu quickly grabbed him and said, "Don't delay any longer, let's go."

Having said that, regardless of whether he was willing or not, the guard pulled him out forcefully.

Yu Yi still had to take care of the child and had no strength to fight him. He was dragged by Li Xu and ran while crying, "Wife..."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 162 Earthquake 4 (Second update) Fortunately, when they came out, a light appeared behind them, and Shen Ran also came out with Zhong Yun. However, when they rushed to the hall, the building shook again, and a huge chandelier above the hall suddenly broke and fell down rapidly.

Because of the shaking just now, Shen Ran couldn't stand firmly, so he couldn't avoid the chandelier when it fell. Now their position was right in the center of it. If they were hit by the giant chandelier, they would be seriously injured if not killed.

When they went in, everyone was worried and pointed all their flashlights inside so that they could see more clearly when they came out.

Therefore, when the giant chandelier fell down, everyone saw it and couldn't help but scream.

"careful......"

Zhang Yue was very anxious when she saw this, but fortunately she was still calm and rushed to the front. When the giant chandelier fell and was 30 centimeters away from them, she cast an ice spell.

In an instant, Shen Ran and Zhong Yun were protected by a thick door-shaped ice wall. The giant chandelier fell down, and with the cushioning and blocking of the ice wall, it fell slowly behind them. They were temporarily safe.

However, things continued to fall from above. Zhang Yue continued to use ice-freezing spells one after another. Then, one door-shaped ice wall after another connected together, forming an ice tunnel leading directly to the hotel gate.

Shen Ran did not hesitate at all. He quickly helped Zhong Yun rush out of the ice tunnel. Just when they rushed out of the door-shaped ice wall, the entire hotel behind them sank several floors in front of everyone.

The remaining floors were also damaged as the ones below sank deeper. Large chunks of cement, bricks, and stones began to fall down continuously, covering the open space where they were standing. Some people were unable to avoid the falling blocks and were injured.

Shen Ran just handed Zhong Yun to Li Xu, and then shouted, "Hurry up and get in the car and leave here."

When everyone heard this, they quickly got into the car, and no one cared about the lost supplies.

The earthquake occurred not only in their area, but also in many other places throughout J City.

If Shen Ran and Zhang Yue had not discovered it early, he would most likely still be sleeping, sinking into the deep pit underground along with the building or being hit to death by rubble or bricks.

...

As for Lin Chuchu, she was awakened by the earthquake when the house they lived in tilted, and she rolled and crawled out following Lu Zifeng.

However, the people who followed them were not so lucky. Many of them did not have time to escape and died inside as the house sank. Some were reluctant to leave the supplies they had collected, so they ran out and rushed back again, trying to get out before the house collapsed, but they could never get out again.

The team of thirty or forty people was reduced to only more than twenty people after escaping to a safe place, and almost all the supplies were gone except for those secretly hidden in the space by Lin Chuchu.

When daybreak came, they were attacked by a group of zombies again. After a fierce fight, several people died before they were able to catch their breath.

Everyone sat on the ground in a mess, and someone asked: "Captain, what should we do next?"

Lu Zifeng stared at the distance intently, not knowing what he was thinking. After a long while, he replied, "What else can we do? Of course, we should continue to collect supplies while continuing our journey."

That's all we can do.

Everyone was helpless. Some people lowered their heads, while others looked into the distance with a blank look on their faces.

Lu Zifeng had rested enough, so he asked Lin Chuchu to take out food from the space and distribute it to everyone.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 163 After the Earthquake 1 (Three Updates) Lin Chuchu was very reluctant, but the space had been exposed. If she didn't take it, it would cause public outrage. Moreover, this was the time to win people's hearts. How could she miss such a good opportunity? So she pretended to be very embarrassed and said, "My space is not big, and the food I stored in the space before was not much, but there are so many people here, how can it be enough? Even if I take it all out, it will only be enough for one meal."

Lu Zifeng remembered that Lin Chuchu had told him at the beginning that the space was 20 square meters. How could the supplies collected in it only be enough for one meal? He didn't react for a while and looked at her with confusion. Later, after Lin Chuchu's secret reminder, he remembered that she had said in front of everyone that her space was only 5 square meters, and then he understood what she meant.

So he cooperated with her acting and said, "It's enough for one meal. We have finally escaped death and fought a big battle. How can we have the strength to continue our journey if we don't eat enough? Only when we are full can we have more strength to collect more supplies, right?"

"Well... okay." Lin Chuchu pretended to be reluctant and took out the food from the space.

When they saw the food, everyone's eyes sparkled, and when they looked at Lu Zifeng and Lin Chuchu, their faces were full of gratitude. Some even said, "Captain is so nice. I've decided to follow you from now on."

Once one person says this, there will be a second, a third...

It was not until everyone said they had decided to follow him that Lu Zifeng suppressed the joy in his heart and smiled with satisfaction.

He raised his hand to make a gesture to silence everyone, and said with a smile, "Thank you all for thinking so highly of me. I also promise everyone that as long as you follow me, I will never let you down. If I have a bite to eat, I will never leave you less. We share the good times and the bad times together."

"Well said, we should share the good times and the bad times." Zhao Xiaohu was the first to stand up and cooperate with him, shouting loudly, and then Chen Ming also stood up and agreed.

They had no choice but to do this because they were the ones who knew the most secrets about Lu Zifeng and Lin Chuchu. If they dared to have any ill intentions, they would be close to death.

With the instigation of these two people, everyone became more determined to follow Lu Zifeng.

This was the scene that Lu Zifeng and Lin Chuchu wanted to see the most, and they both smiled with satisfaction.

"Okay, take all the food and cook it and share it with everyone." Lu Zifeng said, and winked at Lin Chuchu as he turned and left.

Lin Chuchu took the hint and followed.

Others didn't know what they were going to do, and as far as they knew, they were a couple, so they couldn't say anything about what they were going to do, right? It would be better to quickly find a way to cook and eat the food that Lin Chuchu brought.

Lu Zifeng took Lin Chuchu to a place where no one could see them and stopped there. He made sure that no one was following them before he felt relieved.

Then he said, "Chu Chu, hurry up and bring some delicious food. The spirit has consumed so much energy, and now I am almost starving to death."

Lin Chuchu glared at him coquettishly because of the incident with taking food before, then she took out a few sausages, two vacuum-packed braised eggs and chicken legs from the space and gave them to him.

"Is that all?" Lu Zifeng looked at her with a frown in dissatisfaction.

Lin Chuchu stared at him, her eyebrows raised, "We have to save some food to eat with them. Otherwise, if we are too full to eat, they will definitely guess that we still have good food and eat secretly before going back. If that happens, they will not follow us in anger. Then, won't the food we just took out be wasted on them, and our efforts will be in vain?"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 164 After the Earthquake 2 (fourth update) "You're right, I was so hungry that I forgot about it. Luckily you reminded me." After hearing her words, Lu Zifeng was no longer dissatisfied. Instead, he was extremely grateful to Lin Chuchu.

Lin Chuchu snorted with satisfaction, and while taking out a sample for herself, she continued, "In order to win them over, we will share the collected materials in the future, and we will eat with them, so that it can be seen that we share the good and the bad. When there is no one around, we will eat some good food to make up for it. Of course, when collecting materials, we will secretly put away the good stuff first, so as not to let them get it for free."

"Hmm..., you're right, we'll do this from now on." Lu Zifeng nodded in agreement while eating.

Half an hour later, the two came back while everyone thought they were going to do something between men and women, and they all looked at them with winks and smiles.

"I have just checked the surrounding situation. It is safe here for the time being. After everyone has eaten and rested for a while, we will set out to collect supplies again and then hand them over to the safe base."

After Lu Zifeng finished speaking, he took his portion of food and sat down. He frowned and endured the discomfort in his heart, and drank the bowl of food that was made by mixing instant noodles and rice together. It was not very nutritious, strange and unpalatable.

After hearing what he said, everyone realized that they had just misunderstood them. They thought they were really going to patrol the surrounding situation. Therefore, they were even more moved by them and became more determined to follow them.

——

Although Zhang Yue's space was exposed, no matter whether it was hers or Shen Ran's, only a few people in their circle knew about it, and no outsiders knew about it.

After they left the earthquake area, they did not dare to stay in the center of J City for fear of aftershocks. Instead, they went out of the city and chose a relatively open place to rest.

Similarly, most of the supplies that people had collected previously were gone, so she and Shen Ran used their car as a cover and actually took out four large boxes from the trunk, which were the supplies they had delivered to everyone yesterday afternoon.

Although there wasn't a lot of food, it was enough for everyone to have a full meal.

Everyone was moved to tears.

Because of the life-saving grace, the things they sent over yesterday were all carefully selected good things, and now they came out to share them with everyone without even thinking about it.

Want to politely refuse? That would be too fake. At worst, you can just collect some good stuff and give it back to them after you are full.

So everyone moved the four boxes of things over with gratitude, and worked together to prepare the food and share it among everyone.

Compared with Lin Chuchu and Lu Zifeng, Zhang Yue's meal was much richer. She had a bowl of solid white rice and a bowl of delicious and nutritionally balanced meat and vegetable dishes. Her mouth was full of oil after eating so much.

After eating, I exclaimed, "It's delicious."

Then he praised Wang's mother generously, "It seems that Wang's cooking skills have improved again. She can still make such delicious food under such difficult conditions. I am so happy."

Mother Wang smiled happily after hearing this. "You were brought up in pampered pampering. I was worried that you wouldn't be able to get used to the food."

"How could that be? I like to eat anything you make." Zhang Yue wiped his mouth, hugged her and kissed her on the face.

Shen Ran saw this and felt depressed and aggrieved. Why didn't you take the initiative to kiss me? Then he angrily took the food in his hand as an object to vent his grievances. He finished the rice and vegetables in five bites, which made Li Xu and others who saw him eating dumbfounded. Then he asked carefully: "Boss, do you want more rice?"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 165 Colorful Butterfly 1 (5th update) Shen Ran glared at him, then stretched out his hand and handed over the empty bowl. "Add more, why not? Can you be full with just one bowl of rice?"

How can I be full?

They are men and they are soldiers. Normally they won't put down their chopsticks and bowls until they have finished three bowls of food.

Therefore, it is impossible to be full with just one bowl of rice.

It's just that people ask this because they see that you are angry and are afraid that they might accidentally bring bad luck upon themselves.

Li Xu carefully took the bowl and quickly put the food in it before handing it to him. After he took it, he quickly shrank aside to eat his own food, while secretly shaking his head and complaining: Even Wang Mama's jealousy, is it necessary? When Chen Qidong and Liu Gang saw this, they turned around and laughed secretly, and were glad that they had retired early and didn't have to worry about Shen Ran burning them.

However, the person who made Shen Ran angry had no idea that he had caused trouble. After eating, he walked around slowly to help digest the food. Then he was thinking in his mind whether he should take everyone to collect supplies again.

Otherwise, it would be too cruel to let so many people starve while you secretly eat and ignore everyone else. Doing so would also expose the fact that they have space.

You are innocent, but you are guilty of hiding the wall.

The thing called "space" is something that attracts envy no matter which century it is. If it is exposed, the people here may not necessarily have the desire to occupy it, but if more people know about it, it will cause a lot of trouble.

Although they are strong now, they are not yet to the point where no one dares to provoke them. For the time being, they cannot let too many people, especially those who are not very trusted, know about it.

Thinking, walking, walking, thinking, I walked a little further without realizing it.

Suddenly she saw a yellow butterfly dancing not far away.

"Where did this colorful butterfly come from at this time?" She ran after it in surprise.

The colorful butterfly seemed to have spotted her, and when she got close enough it flew away, heading towards a nearby mountain.

Zhang Yue immediately became alert.

After the end of the world, many plants withered and died, and those that survived, in addition to having extremely strong vitality, were most likely mutated.

And there were actually many trees on this mountain that were still alive and well, with lush branches and green leaves, which made her have to be on guard.

Mutated plants are different from zombies. If they don't reveal their true face on purpose, it's hard for you to find them. People can be caught off guard and die at their hands.

No matter how curious Zhang Yue was, he didn't dare to go in alone.

Just when she was about to give up and go back, the colorful butterfly saw that she didn't catch up, so it flew back, flew around her, and then flew in the same direction again. Seeing that she still didn't catch up, it flew up and down not far away, as if waiting for her.

"Is this a colorful butterfly with spiritual consciousness?" She looked at it in surprise, then held her chin and thought about it.

If that is the case, then it is something to consider.

I looked back and saw that everyone had just started eating, and after eating they had to rest for a while before leaving.

This means that they will leave in about half an hour. If she wants to follow the colorful butterfly, it should be about time. If she has no results by the time the time comes, she will simply give up.

Thinking of this, he raised his foot and followed the colorful butterfly.

Although Shen Ran was angry because of jealousy, his eyes never left Zhang Yue. When he found her going towards the mountain, he quickly finished the food in the bowl, threw the empty bowl to Li Xu, and said, "Watch out everyone, I'm leaving for a while." Then he hurriedly followed in the direction of Zhang Yue.

Li Xu was speechless when he saw this. He really didn't expect that after the leader got married, he was no longer the cold and abstinent man who avoided women like the plague, but became a wife slave.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 166 Colorful Butterfly 2 (sixth update) That yellow butterfly is really smart. It has been leading the way in front. Sometimes when it flies too fast, it will stop for a while and wait for her. Once she catches up, it will take off again and go deeper.

Thanks to the butterfly's guidance, she tried several times and didn't encounter any danger, so she chased after him with more confidence.

Until she was led to the back of the mountain, the trees became fewer, and then there were many large and messy rocky areas. The butterfly led her all the way to the pile of rocks, and stopped on a very strange stone and would not move away.

She looked around but found nothing unusual, so she asked the butterfly, "Colorful butterfly, is there something nearby?"

As if the butterfly understood what she said, it flew up again and circled around her, probably answering her, "Yes." Then it landed back at the same place.

Seeing this, Zhang Yue looked at the surrounding rocks again, but still found nothing after searching around.

She said to the butterfly again, "There's nothing."

This time the butterfly did not fly again, but flapped its wings three times.

Zhang Yue didn't understand what it meant, but he began to look carefully at the big rock where the butterfly was staying. He found that the place where it was staying was a not very big rock with a crack, which should be a movable rock.

Reached out and tried to move it.

Rumble~~ Suddenly, among the rocks, two large rocks moved after she moved the rocks, revealing a cave that was big enough for one person to enter and exit. At this time, the butterfly flew up and flew straight to the cave.

"Hey, wait a minute." Zhang Yue called out softly and quickly chased after him.

The cave was very dark. Zhang Yue did not dare to go down just like that. Instead, he took out a large flashlight from the space, shone the light on it, and saw the road inside clearly before going down.

When we reached the bottom of the cave, we found five passages. The walls and floors of each passage were made of square stones, and we had no idea what the specific conditions inside were.

This time, even with the butterfly leading the way, she didn't dare to follow it easily.

Before coming down, she grabbed two handfuls of stones and put them in her pocket. They would come in handy at this moment. She took out a stone and threw it towards the path where the butterfly was flying.

Gurgle, gurgle... the stone rolled several times and stopped a few meters away. Zhang Yue waited quietly for a long time, and only after finding no movement did he walk inside.

When he reached the place where the stone stopped, he continued throwing, repeating this cycle, turning left and right in the cave, and safely arrived at a space of several dozen square meters.

It was very dark in this space, with only a blue light flickering.

She shone the flashlight over there and found a small pool of water. In the middle of the pool was a small round altar made of a large stone, and on the altar was a blue crystal. The crystal was crystal clear, as smooth and translucent as a polished sapphire, and the blue light she had just seen was emitted from this crystal.

"What is this?"

Zhang Yue walked closer and looked at the crystal, but she was not a greedy person who would rush to take it for herself as soon as she discovered a treasure.

She also discovered that the crystal not only emitted a blue light, but also had a thin chain flashing from time to time, similar to an electric current. If she was like those greedy people and took the treasure as soon as she saw it, what if it was a trap? It would be a waste if she didn't get the treasure but ended up hurting herself.

She thought about it for a long time and finally came up with an idea.

She used the freezing spell on the crystal.

If the crystal could be sealed by her skills, she would take it out.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 167 Colorful Butterfly 3 (7 updates) Although she didn't have much hope, it still came to nothing. The ice-sealing technique she used not only failed to seal the crystal, but was swallowed up by the crystal.

"How could this happen?!" Zhang Yue asked in surprise, and then he tried it twice more in disbelief, but the result was the same, all his skills were swallowed up.

Just when she was feeling a little discouraged, the butterfly flew over again, circled around her right hand, and then flew to the crystal.

"Do you mean I should reach out and get it myself?" Zhang Yue asked Butterfly.

The butterfly fluttered three times, probably answering her, yes.

Zhang Yue was a little hesitant.

She had seen the situation just now. All the skills she used were swallowed up. If she reached out directly, what if it swallowed up her abilities as well? She was finally reborn, so she didn't dare to gamble with her life. Besides, even if she didn't get it, she wouldn't lose anything.

Just as she was about to reject the butterfly, a voice sounded from behind her, "Why did you come here alone? How dangerous is this?"

Zhang Yue turned around suddenly and almost attacked the person who came. Fortunately, the voice was familiar to her, so she immediately retracted her gesture and asked in surprise: "Why are you here too?"

"If I don't come, what if something happens to you?" Shen Ran replied with a dark face, "I..." Zhang Yue couldn't find words to refute, and lowered his head knowing that he was in the wrong.

Seeing that she was so well-behaved, Shen Ran's dark complexion finally improved a lot. He was reluctant to scold her anymore. He looked behind her and found the blue crystal. He asked in surprise, "Blue ice crystal?!"

"Do you know this crystal?" Zhang Yue looked at him in surprise.

Shen Ran nodded. "Yes, this is an ice crystal. It contains powerful ice energy. Although this crystal is not very big, it is enough for you to advance to the next level, and it can also purify your ice ability."

"What did you say?!" Zhang Yue stared at him with eyes wide open in shock, thinking, how could he know so much? In her previous life, she had been in the apocalypse for several years, and she had never seen or even heard of anything like this, but he knew it, and understood it so clearly! Shen Ran knew that he had exposed some secrets about himself, but he did not deny it nor explain it. He planned to tell her everything about himself when the time was right.

Seeing that Shen Ran refused to say more about himself, Zhang Yue did not want to continue asking. However, after hearing what he said, if she had felt that it was too dangerous to get this thing before, and it didn't matter whether she had it or not, now she was determined to get it.

After all, this is something that can help you advance and purify your abilities, who wouldn't want it? She's not stupid.

She couldn't wait to ask, "Do you know how to get this thing?"

Just now, she saw that the blue ice stone swallowed up all her skills. Now she didn't dare to rush up to get it, for fear of accidentally getting herself involved.

"Hmm?" Shen Ran looked at her, then at the blue ice stone. When he turned his gaze back to her, he said, "Just take it."

"Ah?! Just take it?" Zhang Yue was stunned by his words, "Can I just take it? Just now I was going to use the Ice Sealing Technique to seal it and then take it away, but it ate up all my skills and it was useless. If I take it directly, what if it devours all the energy in my body?"

When energy is exhausted, a person will become extremely weak. If there is an enemy around, she can be killed with just one blow and she will have no power to fight back.

Although there were no enemies here, she didn't dare to do so easily.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 168 Colorful Butterfly 4 (eight updates) Shen Ran found it funny to see her timid and life-threatening look, and he relaxed his worries about her.

Moreover, if she encounters danger again in the future, he won't have to worry too much about her, because timid people are more afraid of death.

He smiled slightly and said, "That's because you sent the energy directly in front of it. It would be strange if it didn't devour it."

"But it doesn't make sense to just take it away, does it? This is a treasure. What if the blue ice stone cave collapses when it's taken away? Isn't that how it's played and written on TV and in novels? As the saying goes, 'blessings and disasters go hand in hand'."

This statement makes sense.

He was also glad that Zhang Yue was not like most people who would rush over to take the treasure when they saw it, but instead thought of his own safety first.

He explained: "Okay, it's my fault. I didn't express myself well and you misunderstood. When I said 'take', I didn't mean for you to take out the blue ice stone directly. I meant for you to take away the energy inside."

"Take away the energy inside? How do we do that?"

Shen Ran looked around and confirmed that this place was safe, then he said, "I'll teach you, but the process may be a little painful, so just bear with it."

Zhang Yue thought about it and realized that he had even experienced the pain of having his flesh cut out. What could be more painful than this?

She raised her confident face and replied, "Okay."

Seeing that she agreed, Shen Ran began to tell her what to do. After teaching her, he said, "Don't worry, I will be there to watch over you. If you feel that you can't bear it during the process, just tell me and I will help you."

"Yes, I understand."

Zhang Yue nodded, then took the flashlight in his hand and began to "take" the energy inside according to the method taught by Shen Ran.

The surface of the blue ice stone looked nothing special, but when she placed her hands on it, she immediately felt the energy inside surging like an ocean wave.

She began to calm her mind and try to feel them as if her soul had left her body.

In fact, if what she did were in the world of cultivation, it should be called spiritual consciousness induction.

At first, the energy in the blue ice stone repelled her a little, but after a while, they found that the aura on her was the same as theirs, and the repulsion decreased a little, and gradually she was integrated into one.

It was also at this time that she suddenly felt the energy in her body begin to flow out from the meridians of her left hand and merge into the blue ice stone with the energy inside.

She didn't expect this to happen. She became anxious and tried to take the energy back, but when the energy came back, it flowed back into the meridians of her right hand.

The meridian energy channel in the right hand is like a tiny tube, but the energy is like a stick that is twice as big. No matter whether they fit or not, they will keep drilling and crashing in.

As a result, Zhang Yue felt extremely painful, but he had to grit his teeth and accept it, so his entire face was wrinkled and looked very hideous and miserable.

This pain was even worse than the one she experienced in her previous life when Lu Zifeng and Lin Chuchu cut out her flesh and fed it to zombies to vent their hatred.

She was sweating coldly from the pain. If Shen Ran hadn't been there to support her, she would have fallen to the ground and curled up into a ball.

However, this is just the beginning. She will have to endure this kind of pain for a very long time. Not only does she have to take back her original energy, but she also has to take back all the energy in the blue ice stone.

Moreover, once she placed her hand on the blue ice stone, there was no way to turn back, otherwise the energy would destroy her supernatural powers.

With Shen Ran around, he naturally wouldn't let her suffer so much from the energy.

Seeing her in so much pain, even though Zhang Yue didn't scream, he still transferred some of his energy to her while supporting her, helping her sort out the overbearing new energy to relieve her pain.

　Thanks to: Flying D fish, Bloodstained sunset! Chapter 169 Colorful Butterfly 5 (Update 1)

Fifteen minutes had passed, but to Zhang Yue, who was in great pain, it seemed like a century had passed and he felt like he had experienced another lifetime.

A large amount of energy kept flowing into her body until all the energy in the blue ice stone was absorbed by her.

After the energy was collected, the meridians in her body expanded more than twice after the new energy passed through. When all the meridians were expanded, all the energy returned to her dantian and merged into a blue ocean. Its color was so deep blue and transparent, like a blue gem.

When Zhang Yue opened her eyes, her whole body was soaked with cold sweat, which stuck to her skin and revealed her figure.

But she didn't care about these. Now she just felt that she was full of energy and in high spirits. She wanted to find someone to fight immediately.

But this was impossible, so she condensed an ice needle in her hand and hit the stone wall with it.

Bang! The originally smooth and intact ice wall had a small hole about ten centimeters deep after being hit by the ice needle.

If this blow hit a person, he would probably take away half his life.

Then she used the freezing spell, and the thickness of the ice was twice as thick as before, and the range was also expanded.

There is a huge difference between this kind of strength and that before the promotion, just like what is written in martial arts novels, where one's strength is doubled after the Ren and Du meridians are opened.

Zhang Yue looked at his hands, his face full of joy, "I didn't expect that the ice ability after the promotion would be so powerful!"

"Not only that, you have obtained the energy from the blue ice stone. Even if you meet someone of the same level who has ice abilities, your strength will be twice as strong as theirs." Shen Ran said.

"Really?" Zhang Yue couldn't believe it.

Shen Ran nodded affirmatively.

After getting confirmation, Zhang Yue was even happier.

"That's great!"

"By the way, how did you think of going up the mountain and finding this place?" Shen Ran asked the question he wanted to ask before.

When he caught up with them before, he found that although this mountain seemed harmless, it was not.

This place was full of dangers. He was attacked by mutant rats twice when he came up.

The mutant rats were as big as domestic cats. If it weren't for his powerful strength, those mutant rats would have just awakened and would not have adapted to this world for a while. If it were someone else, they would have probably died in their mouths.

Zhang Yue, who had arrived here safely, was unaware of his fate. He pointed at the butterfly that was flying again and said, "Oh, it was that colorful butterfly that brought me here, and it was also it that taught me how to open this cave."

"How could this happen?! But you can't do this again in the future. You run away without saying a word. It makes me worried." Shen Ran was very surprised, but he still scolded her seriously and looked in the direction she pointed.

Zhang Yue knew that what he did before was wrong, so he nodded, feeling warm in his heart.

At this time, the butterfly that attracted her was no longer yellow. After Zhang Yue absorbed all the energy in the ice crystal stone into his body, it changed its appearance.

At this moment, it is yellow, blue, green, and pink...

In fact, it has seven colors: red, yellow, blue, green, purple, pink and black.

"It turns out to be a spiritual butterfly with spiritual awareness." After Shen Ran saw it clearly, he said, "Since you two are destined to meet, just take her in."

"Okay." Zhang Yue had the same idea, so he took out a silver needle from the space and pricked it on his index finger.

There was a slight pain and blood gushed out. The spirit butterfly seemed to sense it and immediately flew to her index finger to suck her blood.

Chapter 170 Colorful Butterfly 6 (Second Update) After it absorbed three drops, Zhang Yue recited a string of difficult words to the butterfly. As soon as the words fell, a ray of light flashed on her and the butterfly's body, and the contract was completed.

She checked the loyalty level and it was 100 percent!

Zhang Yue smiled happily.

After the end of the world, animals in the world were also affected. Like humans, there were zombie beasts, mutant beasts and mutant spirit beasts.

However, mutated spirit beasts are extremely rare. She had been around for several years in her previous life and only heard that there were no more than ten people in the country who owned mutated spirit beasts.

At that time, she didn't know how envious she was and she also wanted to get one, but unfortunately she didn't find one until she died.

I didn't expect that after living a second life, I would choose different people, take a different path, and even my luck would be different.

First, the ice ability was activated, then it was upgraded, and now there is an extra spirit butterfly.

This is such good luck, it's about to burst.

After the contract, she could understand what Psylocke wanted to say.

Having just followed a master, Psylocke happily communicated with her: "Master, master, do you like the gift I gave you?"

Zhang Yue was immediately delighted, and in a voice that only they could hear, she smiled and said to the butterfly in her hand, "I like it. Thank you so much, Psylocke."

"You're welcome. I should be the one thanking you. You took me in so that I won't be homeless. Master, could you please send me to your space?"

"You actually knew that I have space?" Zhang Yue looked at it with some surprise.

"Well, after the contract was signed, I can smell the fragrance of flowers in the space. The pollen in it is very helpful to my growth."

After hearing that it was only felt after the contract, Zhang Yue finally felt relieved. Otherwise, if he encountered ferocious mutant beasts in the future, wouldn't it be very dangerous if they found his space and wanted to rob him? "In this case, I will send you into the space." Zhang Yue silently said to it in his heart. The spirit butterfly entered the space and immediately flew happily towards the bright flowers inside.

Zhang Yue's connection with it was still intact, so he remembered something and asked, "By the way, Psylocke, what is your special ability?"

If she doesn't ask clearly, she won't know how to ask it for help in the future.

"Oh, Master, I am actually a dream butterfly. I can create illusions to make people see the most beautiful things they want to see in their hearts."

Hearing this, Zhang Yue was stunned for a moment.

Shen Ran couldn't hear the conversation between Zhang Yue and Lingdie. When he saw that her expression was not right, he immediately asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Yue came back to her senses and shook her head at him, "It's okay."

Then I thought, what a great ability it is to be able to let people see what they want to see the most in their hearts ? If she was clearly in the upper hand in the battle, and after being hit by this trick, she suddenly stopped when she saw the beautiful thing she wanted to see the most, wouldn't she be killed by the opponent at any time? Fortunately, this Psylocke was taken by herself. If it was taken by someone else, or someone who was her enemy, what a powerful opponent it would be for her! In fact, Psylocke's abilities are not just these, there are also those that she forgot to say when she saw the rare flowers in the space.

Because of this, Zhang Yue was badly cheated by it, while Shen Ran enjoyed it greatly.

These are all later stories, so let's not talk about them for now.

"It's too late for us to come out, let's go back."

Having gained two huge benefits, Zhang Yue happily took Shen Ran's hand and pulled him back.

When she reached the intersection of the five passages before returning, she found that three of the passages seemed to have triggered mechanisms. The originally flat and empty passages became densely packed with about a hundred bows and arrows inserted on them, emitting a cold breath.
