Oh no! Seven kids at the start, all yellow and skinny.

Chapter 198 Innate Abilities

Ling Xiao opened his mouth as if to say something, but suddenly vomited a mouthful of thick, foul-smelling black blood, then his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

Yunyi: ...

"There are bugs in here!" Mo Li exclaimed.

Yunyi then noticed that there were things wriggling in the black blood. However, the black blood quickly seeped into the sand, and the small insects turned into blood and seeped into the ground after wriggling for a while.

Just as Yunyi was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a roaring sound came from the cave.

"No way?" Yunyi looked at Mo Li in horror. "There are more in there?"

Mo Li was also dumbfounded. She thought there was only one. If a few more came, then they...

"Hey boss, has your IQ gone downhill? Set that thing on fire!" Sixteen urgently warned.

Yunyi nodded, astonished by these coincidences, her IQ seemed to regress, and she then threw the torch in her hand directly into the cave.

Just in case, he took out another one, along with a bowl of kerosene, and threw it all in.

The first torch didn't make much of a sound, but after the oil and the second torch were lit, a crackling sound could be heard from below, and soon flames started to emerge from the cave entrance.

There was even a person engulfed in flames who rushed out, but after taking only two steps toward Yunyi and the others, he collapsed to the ground. Insects kept swarming out of his body, but they were quickly burned to death and disappeared without a trace.

The fire inside the cave grew larger and larger, and the smoke even carried the aroma of roasted meat.

A full hour later, as dawn broke, the fire in the cave gradually died down, leaving only thick smoke.

Yunyi originally wanted Moli to collapse the surrounding gravel to bury the pit, but perhaps because the fire burned away the underlying support, the ground made a cracking sound and then collapsed with a whoosh. The original large rock also tilted and fell down, perfectly covering the exposed pit.

If you hadn't experienced it yourself, no one who came back to look would have imagined that there was such a treacherous place below.

Ling Xiao was dizzy, so Mo Li had to carry him back to the inn.

Hong Yi and the others were extremely anxious, but when they saw Yun Yi and the others return, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As for Ling Xiao, whom she brought back, the young lady neither mentioned it nor asked about it.

The Qiao couple didn't ask any questions at all.

Yunyi walked around the inn again, checking all the valuables.

Unexpectedly, the inn had quite a lot of things. There were tens of thousands of taels of silver notes alone, as well as two boxes of gold bars. There were also a lot of weapons and food, but fortunately, there was still room to fit them in my space.

When there was really nothing good left, they pulled a horse-drawn carriage over from the backyard.

Ling Xiao is currently unconscious, but who knows when he will wake up?

Although the spiritual spring water restored some of his self-awareness, he was not completely cured. If he were to go mad while in the same carriage as Qiao Yue, the Qiao family of three would be in danger.

Therefore, it would be best to let Mo Li accompany him in a carriage alone.

She was reduced to being a coachman, and Xiaobai could only run alongside the carriage.

In the dawn light, two carriages carrying a pack of wolves slowly headed east. Behind them, the Windward Inn suddenly erupted with a loud bang after everyone had left, followed by a huge burst of flames that slowly disappeared.

After running for about an hour, the sky brightened, and Yunyi stopped.

He pretended to pull out a basin from behind the carriage, then filled it with a large amount of water to quench the wolves' thirst.

Hongyi thought that the young lady was too stingy and should at least give some meat to the wolves. However, she found that the wolves lined up to drink water in a very orderly manner. After drinking, they happily hummed at Yunyi. Although she couldn't understand wolf language, she could tell that they seemed to be acting cute.

This thought made Hong Yi secretly gasp; it was simply unbelievable.

After feeding all the wolves with three basins of water, Yunyi patted Sixteen's head.

Sixteen wolves howled and took off running.

The wolf pack sprang into action instantly, and then Sixteen vanished without a trace.

"Young Miss, how come they are so obedient?" Hong Yi was really curious.

“Because I can understand wolf language.” Yunyi smiled. “I can communicate with them smoothly, so naturally they listen to me.”

Hong Yi gave a thumbs up: "That's amazing! Miss, do you also understand the language of eagles?"

Yunyi laughed: "Yes, let me put it this way, I can understand most of the animal languages."

Hong Yi's eyes lit up instantly, and he seemed to want to say something but ultimately said nothing.

“You can’t learn this skill from me.” Yunyi seemed to see through her thoughts. “It’s something I was born with.”

"Oh." Hong nodded, not disappointed, but still curious. "Why don't you talk to the fish in the river and let them jump up on their own? We can grill some fish later."

"Your request is a bit much. I can't eat fish that have been 'communicated' with the fish," Yunyi shook her head.

“That’s true.” Hong Yi was taken aback for a moment, then nodded. “Just pretend I didn’t say anything, hehe.”

Nothing much happened after that, and we soon arrived at the quarry.

He Youwei had already gone to Xiajiazhuang, and now He Youcai was in charge of managing the place. When he saw Yunyi coming, he hurriedly led Sun Fu out to greet her.

"Find two rooms first, and let the two wounded lie down."

He Youcai nodded and glanced at Sun Fu.

Sun Fu hurriedly led his men to open the doors to the two rooms behind and helped put Qiao Yue on the kang (a heated brick bed).

Yunyi first checked his leg. Fortunately, it was securely fixed externally, so despite all the commotion, the wound wasn't touched and there was no displacement. So, he just needed to rest.

Zhao Mingyan also breathed a sigh of relief. She never expected to go through so much. Thinking about what happened last night, it felt like a dream. Only after sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed) did she finally calm down.

Yunyi glanced at Doudou. This child was so well-behaved. He hadn't cried or made a fuss despite all that had happened. As a reward, she gave him a sip of water from the spiritual spring.

DouDou gave her a toothless smile.

After calming the Qiao family down, he went next door, glanced at the unconscious man lying on the kang, took his pulse, and frowned slightly: "Old man, this man has suffered too much damage. The Gu worms in his body have almost completely eroded his internal organs. Even if..." Even with spiritual spring water, it is not certain that all his internal organs can be restored.

"Girl," Mo Li suddenly said very seriously, "This old man begs you, just let him live."

"Then let me try."
