Chapter 226 Why don’t you change back into a human?

When Jiang Yuan heard an octopus saying something unscrupulous, he gave it a murderous look!

"Do you think I need it?" Jiang Yuan rolled her eyes at the octopus. "Even if I freeze to death, I don't need your tentacles that flow black water covering me!"

Upon hearing this, the octopus's tentacles, which were eager to try, retracted again.

Jiang Yuan lay on the ground and slowly closed her eyes.

There is no daylight at the bottom of the abyss, but not long after climbing down, Jiang Yuan clearly felt the temperature around him gradually dropping.

He could barely adapt to the temperature of minus five or six degrees Celsius.

Soon it dropped to minus twenty degrees Celsius.

Jiang Yuan's lips turned pale and she wrapped her thin clothes tightly around herself. Her body kept shrinking and she sneezed one after another.

It was not until a bunch of soft and weak tentacles slowly wrapped around his body from behind that Jiang Yuan instantly felt much warmer.

As the warmth spread around her body, her thoughts were gradually pulled back to reality. When she realized that this warmth was brought by Qi Yanxing, Jiang Yuan's eyes suddenly widened!

"Who told you to touch me! Let go!"

This time Qi Yanxing did not let up.

Through the darkness, Jiang Yuan frowned and stared at the tentacles wrapped around him, his eyes fierce!

He struggled quickly to shake off the tentacles on his body!

But those tentacles were wrapped tightly around his body like dog-skin plasters, so firmly that there was not a single gap!

Jiang Yuan had no choice but to draw his knife!

He pointed the blade at Qi Yanxing's tentacles and warned, "If you don't let go, I'll chop you off!"

The octopus curled up on the far right finally opened its eyes uncomfortably.

Qi Yanxing didn't say anything to beg for mercy this time. He just said coldly: "It's too cold. If I let you go, you will die. I have a problem. I don't like dead things."

Qi Yanxing's attitude suddenly changed, and Jiang Yuan froze!

I looked towards the darkness with some confusion. Just as I was about to say something, I heard the octopus in the darkness speak again:

"Jiang Yuan, don't get me wrong. We are over. I won't pester you anymore. The current environment is bad. It's okay for us to be strangers who depend on each other."

Jiang Yuan said nothing.

The octopus continued, "If you live, I live too. One more person means one more chance to find the exit and the mechanism. After we get out, we will separate. What do you think of this proposal?"

Jiang Yuan thought about it carefully.

The clothes he was wearing were too thin, and the temperature at night was too low at the bottom of the abyss.

If it weren't for Qi Yanxing's tentacles serving as a blanket to keep him warm, he would most likely have frozen to death.

But if Qi Yanxing really didn't bother him and just cooperated with him to get out of the abyss, it would indeed be a good choice.

Still worried, Jiang Yuan asked again: "Are you sure you won't pester me?"

The octopus looked towards Jiang Yuan with dark eyes: "No, we are done."

Jiang Yuan: "Well, remember this. From now on, we are in a cooperative relationship. We will work together to find the mechanism and the entrance to leave the abyss as soon as possible. You help me keep warm and I will find food for you. After we leave the abyss, we will end our cooperative relationship and we will just be strangers when we meet from now on."

Octopus: ".......Okay, I'll listen to you."

The conditions were met, Jiang Yuan turned over, turned her back to Qi Yanxing and continued to sleep soundly.

The octopus, still curled up in the corner of the abyss with its tentacles stretched out, had red eyes.

Then, tears fell to the ground with a "patter".

If there is still a choice,

How could he not want to get back together?

The way he is now, he is not worthy of Jiang Yuan at all.

He knew Jiang Yuan hated him.

If you don't establish a cooperative relationship, you won't even have the right to talk to others.

Qi Yanxing didn't sleep the whole night because the tentacles stretched too far.

When the temperature in the cave gradually recovered, Jiang Yuan slowly woke up.

The first thing he did when he woke up was to remind Qi Yanxing: "Let go."

The octopus's tentacles moved swiftly away from Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan stretched and began to observe carefully along the stone wall of the abyss.

Yesterday, when he was looking for a mechanism, he accidentally discovered that there were clusters of small mushrooms growing on the stone wall.

Jiang Yuan remembered the location from yesterday. After finding it, he picked some mushrooms and put them in his hand to observe carefully.

Not sure if it was poisonous, he was about to throw it into his mouth, until the octopus behind him suddenly spoke:

"What are you doing--"

Jiang Yuan was so frightened that the mushroom in his hand fell to the ground!

"Let's taste the mushrooms. You're responsible for keeping warm, and I'm responsible for finding food. The division of labor is clear."

The octopus's tentacles grew longer and stretched under Jiang Yuan's feet. The tip of the tentacle rolled up the black mushroom that had fallen on the ground, put it to the tip of its nose, sniffed it carefully, and then threw it away.

"This mushroom is poisonous. Eating it will cause hallucinations. The more you eat, the more severe the hallucinations will be. It will also damage your internal organs."

Jiang Yuan was so scared that he quickly threw away the mushroom in his hand and asked, "Why do you know?"

Qi Yanxing: "I have eaten it. When I was little, my parents locked me up in a cave in the back mountain. They didn't give me any food. I was hungry for a long time, so I ate the mushrooms growing on the cave walls. Then I saw many flying little angels."

Jiang Yuan continued to look for food and complained, "Why did they lock you up?"

Qi Yanxing's eyes froze, as if he had not expected Jiang Yuan to take the initiative to talk to him.

Qi Yanxing smiled helplessly: "Because I got married, my hair grew long, and I looked like a girl when I was young. The Bai family is powerful, and they want to send me to marry old man Bai to satisfy their own interests."

Jiang Yuan lowered her eyelashes and did not reply to Qi Yanxing.

After a long time, he smiled and said, "You have never said these words to me before."

Octopus' eyes turned slightly red, and he looked in Jiang Yuan's direction with some confusion, and then quickly added:

"It's not something glorious, there's no need for you to know."

Jiang Yuan stopped talking and started to concentrate on finding food.

The octopus sitting in the far corner on the right opened its mouth but didn't utter a word for a long time.

Instead, he used his tentacles to grab the poisonous mushrooms on the ground, gently put them into his mouth, and slowly chewed them with his teeth and swallowed them into his stomach.

After a while, an illusion appeared in front of Qi Yanxing.

The abyss was gradually replaced by a warm living room. In his memory, Jiang Yuan walked out of the kitchen, holding a bowl of longevity noodles in her hand, slowly placed it on the table, and waved at him with a smile.

The octopus's large vertical eyes were soon blurred by tears.

The tentacles cautiously touched the bowl of longevity noodles in the illusion, and gently wrapped the noodles around them and put them into the mouth.

Today is his birthday.

Jiang Yuan celebrated his birthday.

She also cooked noodles for him and smiled at him.

As the feeling of drowsiness in his head grew worse, Qi Yanxing saw Jiang Yuan taking a quilt and covering him with it.

Very warm and soft.

This was the first time Jiang Yuan covered him with a quilt.

He slowly closed his eyes, enjoying the brief moment of happiness.

Until in reality, an electric cannon hit Qi Yanxing in the face!

Jiang Yuan's curse followed!

"You must be a starving ghost! Aren't mushrooms poisonous? Why did you eat them? I'm looking for something to eat! Can't you wait for just a little while?!"

The scolding sounded in Qi Yanxing's ears again and again, and he woke up from the illusion.

The octopus cried.

Jiang Yuan was stunned when he caught a glimpse of the tears on Octopus's face.

"Why are you crying? I didn't hit you hard!"

Jiang Yuan moved his fist away and asked impatiently:

"By the way, why don't you change back into a human? Do you want to disgust me with this octopus body?"
