Aunt Chen said, "This Red Bloom Fruit is amazing! Eating it can prevent Malaria!"
Xia Chujian raised her eyebrows.
She knew about this disease, which had once been prevalent in the most chaotic South District of Mulan City.
It wasn't an incurable disease, but because of the dirty and poor environment in the South District of Mulan City, and the general poverty of the people, who couldn't afford to see a doctor or buy medicine, the mortality rate was not low.
Xia Chujian looked at the Red Bloom Fruit and said, "Is this fruit like a vaccine? Eating it can prevent Malaria? That's pretty good."
Then she also ate one to test its immune effect.
Aunt Chen and Zhu Yingying also each ate one, and then Xia Chujian had San Zong and Si Xi each eat one as well.
Xia Chujian then threw a Red Bloom Fruit into her backpack and said to Little Chubby Bird, "That's for A Wù, remember to let A Wù eat it!"
Little Chubby Bird tilted its head, looking at Xia Chujian, not knowing if it understood, and then, without going into the backpack, it just raised a small wing and chirped twice, pointing in a direction.
Xia Chujian said, "Let's follow A Yuan, A Yuan seems to have discovered something."
San Zong, Aunt Chen, and Zhu Yingying obediently followed behind Xia Chujian.
This time, they headed towards a cave deep in the mountain hollow.
Just as they reached the cave entrance, a bolt of purple lightning crackled and struck in front of them.
Xia Chujian hurriedly retreated.
But Little Chubby Bird had already stumbled and flown into the cave.
Xia Chujian anxiously chased after it, "A Yuan! A Yuan! Don't run around!"
Inside the cave, purple-blue electric light flickered everywhere, as if all the lightning in the sky had been trapped in this cave.
As soon as she entered, several bolts of lightning struck her, forcing her to retreat.
Xia Chujian knew she had to go in wearing the Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha.
Her current Shao Siming Mecha had also passed Ming Lu, and she didn't need to hide it anymore.
Xia Chujian took off her coat and threw it, along with her backpack, to Zhu Yingying, who was standing beside her, saying, "You guys wait here, I'll go in and take a look."
Zhu Yingying anxiously grabbed her and said, "Chujian! This cave is full of lightning! It's dangerous for you to go in!"
Xia Chujian smiled and said, "I have a Mecha! I'm not afraid!"
With that, she rushed in.
San Zong, holding Si Xi, and Aunt Chen, with her arm around Zhu Yingying's shoulders, stood worriedly at the entrance of the cave, watching.
Unfortunately, it was too dark inside.
They could only catch glimpses of the inside of the cave through the occasional flashes of lightning.
Unexpectedly, the cave entrance was small, but the space inside the cave was quite large.
When the lightning flashed, it seemed impossible to see the top of the cave.
They could only see the snake-like arcs of electricity flashing in various places inside the cave.
After Xia Chujian went in, they couldn't see her anymore, and didn't know where she had flown to.
And Xia Chujian, after entering, discovered that the cave was actually winding and twisting, with a hidden world inside.
The cave she had just entered was a particularly huge open space.
Looking up, she couldn't see where the top was.
It was as if the entire belly of the mountain had been hollowed out.
Of course, there were no traces of artificial construction, it should have been formed naturally.
She turned on the Far-Infrared Night Vision System on the helmet of the Shao Siming Mecha and saw that there were many protruding rocks on the cave walls, like spikes, and if she wasn't careful, she could crash into them and get hung up.
The ground was also full of rocks, with no path to walk on.
It really was only possible to fly in like Little Chubby Bird, to avoid getting lost.
Xia Chujian was fortunate to have activated her Mecha, allowing her to fly in mid-air.
She had just looked around when she spotted a blue-purple lightning bolt, appearing out of nowhere.
By the time she noticed it, it had already struck towards her position in the air.
Xia Chujian hurriedly dodged, performing a swift backward flip, watching as the lightning struck the spot she had just been in, hitting a protruding rock on the ground.
*BOOM!* The seemingly indestructible rock was instantly split in two by the lightning! Xia Chujian looked at the strangely shaped rocks on the ground and finally understood what was happening.
These must be the sharp rocks hanging from the cave walls that had been struck down by the lightning!
Xia Chujian's lips twitched, and she increased her speed.
She circled the cave twice before finally catching a glimpse of Little Chubby Bird's snow-white, plump body flashing past.
She immediately gave chase, only to see another lightning bolt strike! This time, she clearly saw the direction from which the lightning originated.
It seemed to be coming from a crack in the cave wall.
And Little Chubby Bird had disappeared in the direction of that lightning strike!
Xia Chujian immediately flew over.
She discovered that the direction from which the lightning struck was actually an irregular opening, only half a person's height.
If Xia Chujian wanted to enter, she would have to either bend over or crawl.
She looked around and saw no other entrances, only this one.
Little Chubby Bird had disappeared here.
Xia Chujian peered inside, and a blue-purple lightning bolt suddenly arrived.
This time, she couldn't dodge it, and the lightning struck her Mecha squarely!
The intense vibration transmitted into the Mecha's interior, and Xia Chujian grunted, almost spitting out blood.
She vaguely felt that the internal injuries she had sustained after being hit by the Electromagnetic Railgun last time seemed to be recurring.
At this moment, Seven Lù wrote on her Eyepiece Display Screen.
[Seven Lù]: Master, the lightning here seems unusual. Should Master take two more hits?
Xia Chujian: "..."
She strongly suspected that Seven Lù was abusing its power for personal gain, deliberately retaliating against her!
Just taking one hit by chance had almost knocked her soul out of her body, and it wanted her to take two more?!
Seeing that she hadn't moved, Seven Lù immediately wrote another line in childish graffiti.
[Seven Lù]: Master, Seven Lù has detected that after Master's Mecha took a lightning strike, the structure of the Special Metal and Exotic Metal has changed slightly, as if they have fused more tightly!
[Seven Lù]: Master, the lightning in the cave seems different from the lightning outside. Can Master take a few more hits so that Seven Lù can record data and analyze it?
Xia Chujian was almost speechless.
She was truly being commanded by a Mechanical Intelligence...
Xia Chujian's mind raced, and she said, "I brought out your little Lucky Cat pendant. How about I take it out and let it get struck by lightning a few more times? Can you record data then?"
Seven Lù seemed to be stumped by her bizarre suggestion.
After a while, another line of childish graffiti appeared on her Eyepiece Display Screen.
[Seven Lù]: ...That's also possible, but Master, this kind of lightning might also have a tempering effect on Master's body. It can precisely affect Master's body even through the Mecha. Don't you really want to try it?
Xia Chujian thought of the feeling of instant paralysis and stinging pain throughout her body when she was struck by lightning through the Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha just now, as if it were right before her eyes.
She muttered, "Can it really temper my body? But I feel like the internal injuries I suffered last time are about to recur..."
[Seven Lù]: Master, try again! Otherwise, you'll be Crispy Skin even with the Mecha protecting you in the future!
Seven Lù knew how to ignite Xia Chujian's "competitive spirit."
The phrase "Crispy Skin" made Xia Chujian make up her mind.
That's right, she wasn't a Gene Evolver. Now that she had a Mecha, her actions and reaction speed were no worse than those of Gene Evolvers.
But Gene Evolvers had undergone a comprehensive evolution of the human body, which meant that the body itself had also been strengthened to a great extent, and even undergone Gene recombination.
That was a fundamental change.
But her Genes had not evolved, and her body was still that of an ordinary person.
Once a blow was transmitted to her body through the Mecha, she would be greatly affected.
For example, last time, her internal organs suffered severe shock, and even her brain suffered a mild concussion.
If her weakness was discovered by the enemy and they used concussion grenades against her, she would be truly done for!
Thinking of this, Xia Chujian gritted her teeth, put on the fully enclosed helmet, her entire body was tightly wrapped by the Shao Siming Mecha, and then she plunged headfirst into the half-person-high hole! She still used the mecha, her whole body aligned with the direction of the hole, like a fish swimming against the current!
A continuous stream of blue-purple electric light shot out from the other end of the hole, striking her head, her arms, her chest, her legs, her back...
Her Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha directly withstood the bombardment of those lightning bolts! At first, Xia Chujian felt very sorry for it, feeling that this Shao Siming Mecha, which had been through life and death with her, was about to be split in half!
But the further she flew in, the denser the lightning became, and her Shao Siming Mecha seemed to become even harder! Moreover, she felt less and less of the shock and vibration from the lightning strikes!
By the time she accelerated and leaped out of this half-person-high circular passage, five minutes had passed!
Given the speed of the Shao Siming Mecha, it still took five minutes to fly through here, which shows how long this passage was! If she didn't have the Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha, and came in alone, Xia Chujian suspected that even a high-level Gene Evolver would not be able to withstand such lightning strikes...
As soon as she came out of the passage, Xia Chujian was simply shocked! Because everything here looked so dreamlike!
It was as if it were some of the scenes she had imagined in Seven Lù's stories! This place didn't look like the inside of a cave at all, but rather like the boundless starry sky!
Nebulae drifted gently, stars twinkled, and lightning danced enchantingly.
And in that cloud of blue-purple electric light, a snow-white Little Chubby Bird was desperately flapping its wings, flying to a higher place!
Bolts of lightning struck the Little Chubby Bird, making its small figure appear and disappear.
Before long, above the lightning, behind the Little Chubby Bird's figure, a huge phantom appeared.
Sometimes it looked like a giant fish, and sometimes like a giant bird with wings.
Xia Chujian said in surprise, "That's a Starry Sky Yuan-chu!"
Because she was wearing a fully enclosed helmet, Seven Lù could now speak.
Its childish voice was a little excited: "Yes, Master, this is the Starry Sky Yuan-chu!"
"Little Chubby Bird can grow here. The Starry Sky Yuan-chu's staple food, Jia Rong Grass, allows it to not fear lightning, withstand the pounding of lightning, and advance its body."
This is the second update. There will be a new update at 0:05 tonight.
