Chapter 282 Little Bronze Lion
The next day, Yu Yao and her companions quietly left Thousand Soul Mountain again, preparing to continue their search for the items they needed.
The item that possesses the four auras of "heaven, earth, man, and ghost" is still missing the one with sufficient popularity.
Because of the devastation of the apocalypse, such things are now very hard to find.
But none of them expected that things would take an unexpected turn.
They hadn't gone far after setting off when they unexpectedly ran into He Huan, Nie Ting, and Cheng Xiyuan, who had come looking for them.
They rarely come to find Yu Yao and the others on their own initiative, so their sudden arrival must mean something's up.
......
Upon seeing Yu Yao and Luo Mei, He Huan greeted them with a smile.
"Miss Yu, Miss Luo~ It's been a long time."
"Long time no see, what brings you here all of a sudden? Is something the matter?" Yu Yao asked with a smile.
Nie Ting pointed at Cheng Xiyuan, "Yuanyuan heard that you were looking for items containing the four elements of heaven, earth, man, and ghost, so she dragged us back to our hometown to get something. I don't know if it's what you need."
Yu Yao didn't make a big fuss about needing to find something.
However, I still informed a small group of familiar people or teams whom I could easily trust.
For example, Ji Yanye, Ye Ang, Lei Xuanqing, Nie Zhuoying, Cen Yuemian, and Li Yanyi and He Huan from the Wushan base.
After all, there's strength in numbers, and maybe someone will find something.
As Nie Ting spoke, she took out a red cloth-wrapped item from her spatial storage and placed it in Cheng Xiyuan's hands, asking her to personally deliver it to Yu Yao.
It was a tiny bronze lion, only the size of Yu Yao's two hands. Its shape was smooth and cute, with its front paws playfully raised, as if inviting someone to give it a high five.
Its little paws were indeed unusually shiny, clearly indicating that they were frequently touched.
Seeing the undisguised surprise in Yu Yao's eyes, Cheng Xiyuan blinked her big eyes shyly and said, "Our home is located below a temple in the tourist area. That temple is very popular, and there are many tourists every day. There is a stone bridge in front of the temple, with many bronze lions standing on both sides. This little lion is the most popular, and almost every tourist who passes by will give it a high five."
The ancient temple has welcomed countless pilgrims and tourists over the millennia, and over time, this little lion has become very popular.
The little lion is not only popular, but also in a good location, right below a large lion, so the acid rain did not affect it.
The apocalypse happened when the scenic area was closed, so the mountain was not damaged and the little lion was protected very well by chance.
This has made it very popular to this day.
What an unexpected surprise!
A completely unexpected and delightful surprise!
Yu Yao excitedly touched Cheng Xiyuan's fluffy short hair.
"Yuanyuan, thank you so much! The only thing we're lacking right now is items with enough popularity, and you've been a huge help!"
Cheng Xiyuan smiled sweetly, her heart filled with contentment.
"As long as it's useful, that's good enough."
"Useful, useful! Saves a lot of trouble. I won't be going out anymore~ I'll treat you to a meal when we get back to Thousand Soul Mountain~"
After Yu Yao finished speaking, He Huan quickly waved his hand in refusal.
"No, no, no, it's not necessary. It's all minor, no need to go to such trouble."
Luo Mei sighed.
"Is it more troublesome than us going out all over the country to find those things that have no trace? Let's go! No refusing allowed."
As he spoke, he grabbed He Huan and Nie Ting with one hand each and led them back to Thousand Soul Mountain.
......
At the summit of Lingxi Peak, a group of people enjoyed hot pot while admiring the scenery outdoors.
Cheng Xiyuan, influenced by Moyu Shenbao and Daman, showed some childlike qualities again. The three of them and the dog chased and jumped around the field, playing with colorful butterflies.
He Huan and Nie Ting looked at Cheng Xiyuan, who was unusually happy, with gentle eyes and a smile on their lips.
They hadn't felt this relaxed in a very long time.
The title of "Northern First All-Women Team" sounds impressive, but it was earned through their repeated ventures into the most dangerous places and their battles against the most ferocious zombies.
Not to mention, many people are unfriendly and contemptuous towards women.
They face far more problems than many teams of the same level.
Cen Yuemian at least had the Cen family as her backing, but they had nothing.
Luo Mei patted Nie Ting on the shoulder.
"If you feel tired in the future, come and play with us."
“Okay~” Nie Ting laughed heartily and clinked glasses with Luo Mei.
......
The gray fog gradually dissipated, already touching the edge of Kyoto.
While the top brass of the Kyoto base, together with several other bases, were discussing countermeasures and the causes of this incident for the umpteenth time, Yu Yao was inscribing spirit patterns on the four items she had found.
They quietly walked ahead of all humankind.
Yu Yao herself didn't understand what they were busy for.
For the reward from Heaven, as Wen Xuanzhu mentioned?
Actually, that's not the case...
None of them had any hope for the so-called reward.
But if I ignore it... it seems... I can't get over that inexplicable hurdle in my heart.
In the end, they themselves will not fare well after all the delays.
After much thought... this is a path I have no choice but to take.
