My Items Can Upgrade-Chapter 133 - 128: Three-in-One - (15–17/101)
Even if she is sensible and well-behaved, she is still just an eight-year-old girl.
In such a dark environment, where crying for help yields no response and even food is absent, it is almost impossible for her to survive alone.
At this point, Jiang Yiyi had cried enough, lifted her head from Zhao Jiayan’s embrace, and looked at Yang Yuan: "Thank you, big brother..."
"Yiyi is really smart." Yang Yuan patted the little girl’s head: "If it weren’t for you knowing how to shoot arrows with the crossbow and make them glow, we wouldn’t have found this place."
The little girl immediately smiled happily, looking like a carefree eight-year-old for the first time, rather than the overly sensible child she had been.
"Roar——"
The distant roar of a monster echoed again, but perhaps due to the sealing power of the Ancient Ruins, or simply the great distance, the sound was barely audible here. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
"We must leave quickly; it’s not safe to stay here for long," Yang Yuan said.
"Yes, you’re right, we need to move away from here as soon as possible."
Zhao Jiayan hurriedly helped Jiang Yiyi wipe her tears: "I’m afraid we’ll need to trouble you to lead us on the road; our speed is not enough."
"Leave it to me, but I can’t run fast while carrying you. You’d better climb onto my back," Yang Yuan said.
"Okay."
Zhao Jiayan didn’t mind the male-female distinction at this point, especially since Yang Yuan had already carried her before.
So she climbed onto Yang Yuan’s back directly.
Yang Yuan held Zhao Jiayan’s waist with one hand and lifted Jiang Yiyi with the other, then dashed away from the Ancient Ruins.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
Leaving the shelter of the giant rock, the howling wind swept over them once again.
Sometimes, small stones shot toward them like bullets.
However, with Yang Yuan’s now heightened reflexes, he managed to dodge any stones that could cause harm.
Even so, this greatly slowed their speed, and since this was a long-distance run, he didn’t sprint at full speed, keeping a pace of around 80 meters per second.
After running for over an hour, they arrived at a spot more than three hundred kilometers from the Ancient Ruins.
The path ahead suddenly came to an end.
A pitch-black crevice stretched across the land, several hundred meters wide, its depth unknown.
Yang Yuan had a nagging feeling something terrifying lay within.
"Big brother, let’s leave here quickly; there’s a big monster inside!"
Jiang Yiyi whispered tensely from his arms.
Though her voice was faint amidst the howling winds, Yang Yuan’s hearing was strong enough to catch it clearly.
"Okay."
Yang Yuan chose to leave without hesitation.
After running about ten more kilometers, Jiang Yiyi suddenly exclaimed, "Big brother, there’s something over there..."
"What is it?"
Yang Yuan thought it might be another danger and was ready to change course.
However, Jiang Yiyi pointed to the left and said, "It seems like a stone, a very beautiful stone."
A stone?
Yang Yuan felt puzzled but trusted this sensible little girl wouldn’t act on impulse, so he turned and ran in the direction she pointed to.
He ran over 800 meters without reaching it.
"Yiyi, how far can you sense now?" he couldn’t help but ask.
Now that Jiang Yiyi was at the human level, her sensing range should have expanded significantly, but the exact extent was unknown.
"From back there, just a little further ahead, is my sensing distance," Jiang Yiyi explained in terms she could understand.
Yang Yuan estimated in his mind, believing the radius to be around a kilometer.
Impressive indeed.
"It’s there, big brother..."
Jiang Yiyi pointed to a spot about a hundred meters ahead, "Underneath that sharp rock, there’s a very pretty little stone."
Yang Yuan exclaimed, "Yiyi, can you see the surroundings here?"
To think, he could only barely make out his surroundings, unable to recognize faces beyond twenty meters.
"Yes, very clearly," Jiang Yiyi said.
Zhao Jiayan, on Yang Yuan’s back, couldn’t help asking, "Is Yiyi in that kind of state where she remembers everything?"
Yang Yuan was reminded of Jiang Yiyi’s ability, which improved rapidly in dangerous scenarios and when she felt insecure, she would remember everything.
Here, even Yang Yuan didn’t feel secure.
"Yes, indeed."
No wonder.
Under these conditions, the little girl not only remembered everything but possibly had heightened senses as well.
This should be an extension of her abilities after reaching the human level.
Could she have night vision in the perilous darkness?
By this time, Yang Yuan had reached the spot Jiang Yiyi indicated, beneath a three-meter tall sharp protruding rock.
Lying beneath the rock was a stone, the size of an egg, sparkling like a diamond, crystal clear.
"Is this it?" Yang Yuan asked, "Yiyi, check if there’s any danger."
"There is, very dangerous, but it won’t harm us," Jiang Yiyi replied.
"How does Yiyi know it won’t harm us?" Zhao Jiayan questioned with curiosity.
This stumped the little girl, as she didn’t know how to explain.
"I trust Yiyi."
Yang Yuan set the little girl down, then approached and picked up the crystal-like stone.
The moment his hand touched the stone, a sudden realization filled his mind, revealing its true nature.
"Earth Wonder?!"
