Chi Yan naturally felt the strong gaze. He hurried to the corner to find a clean piece of animal skin and came over to help He Jiaojiao wipe her hair.

"Jiaojiao, the temperature now is not as high as in the hot season, be careful not to catch a cold."

But at this moment, He Jiaojiao was only worried about Ziyi and didn't care whether he would catch a cold. She held Ziyi's hand tightly, and Ziyi's usual playful appearance flashed before her eyes.

But such a heartless tiger was lying there motionless with a pale face.

He Jiaojiao felt very uncomfortable.

She originally thought that she would not have too deep feelings for these orcs, but now seeing Zi Yi like this, He Jiaojiao realized that they had already lived in her heart without her knowing it.

[Host, don't worry. Zi Yi swallowed the Soul Gathering Pill earlier, and it's taking effect now. When he wakes up, there will be an unexpected surprise.]

The system appeared on its own again.

Spirit Gathering Pill?

He Jiaojiao then remembered that she had indeed secretly fed Ziyi the elixir. But what did this have to do with his current coma?

Could it be...

Just as He Jiaojiao was about to verify her thoughts with the system, Zi Yi slowly opened his eyes. A flash of golden light flashed in his purple pupils, fleeting but visible to everyone.

"Zi Yi, you've made a breakthrough!"

Mo Ran spoke in surprise.

Generally speaking, only underage beastmen have the possibility of a breakthrough. For most beastmen, it is difficult to achieve a breakthrough after reaching adulthood. Unexpectedly, this time Ziyi turned a disaster into a blessing, breaking through from four stars to five stars like himself.

Zi Yi looked confused until his eyes fell on his own beast pattern, then he sat up in surprise.

"I...I'm a five-star too!"

Zi Yi couldn't believe it, but the first thought in his mind was that he was finally not the worst person around Jiaojiao.

"Jiaojiao, you are my lucky star!"

He Jiaojiao couldn't help laughing when she was suddenly hugged. She reached out and rubbed Zi Yi's wet head. "My Ayi is really good."

Mo Ran and Chi Yan looked at each other, feeling as if they had overlooked something.

"that......"

He shouldn't have disturbed such a scene, but Zhutian felt that he was being completely ignored, so he spoke hesitantly.

He Jiaojiao then remembered that there was a stranger in the cave, and hurriedly broke free from Ziyi's arms.

"Since the beast has been delivered and everyone is alright, I'll be leaving now!"

Zhutian was about to go out as he was speaking, but was stopped by He Jiaojiao.

"You gave us the beast, what will you eat?"

Zhutian was stunned. He didn't expect that this little female would care about him.

"It's okay, I'll just catch another one later!"

He Jiaojiao waved her hand. "If you don't mind, why not stay and eat with us? Besides, it's already dark outside and it's raining so hard, you'd better not leave."

Zhutian naturally wouldn't refuse the young female's invitation, so he stayed. But he was also very conscious and went out with Chiyan to deal with the beast.

After processing the meat, Ziyi had already stood up and He Jiaojiao had changed into a clean animal skin. At this moment, several people were sitting around the fire, listening to Ziyi talking about his previous experiences with gestures and excitement.

What a heartless tiger. He almost died just now, but now he acts like nothing happened.

"Jiaojiao, how do you want to eat this beast meat?"

Chi Yan cut off the tenderest part of the beast, thinking it would be most suitable for Jiaojiao to eat.

"Just grill it and eat it!"

After all this trouble, He Jiaojiao didn't want to bother with it anymore. Now she just wanted to eat her fill and have a good sleep. Besides, Zhutian was still here, and the stone pot and other things were in the space, so there was no way to get them out.

Chi Yan obediently found a clean branch, scraped the skin clean with his supernatural power, cut the tender meat into small pieces, skewered them, and then roasted them over the fire.

Zhutian was not idle either, helping Chiyan on the side, and the two of them cooperated very well.

After a while, the meat was roasted. Mo Ran hugged He Jiaojiao and let her sit on his lap. Then he blew the meat skewers to cool them down, tore them off and handed them to her mouth.

He Jiaojiao didn't have a good appetite today. She only ate one skewer of meat and didn't eat any more.

"You guys eat first, I'll take Jiaojiao to rest!"

Mo Ran said this, holding He Jiaojiao and standing up, walking towards a deeper part of the cave. He had already asked Zi Yi to use his supernatural powers to bake the area there, and also laid out several layers of animal skins.

Perhaps the experience during the day was too stimulating, He Jiaojiao was exhausted and fell asleep soon.

After He Jiaojiao fell asleep, Mo Ran also lay down beside her. He was a snake beast, so skipping one or two meals would not have any impact at all.

As for Ziyi and Chiyan, after they finished eating the remaining meat with Zhutian, they also found a corner to rest. Zhutian was not He Jiaojiao's partner after all, so he chose to rest at the entrance of the cave, which made Mo Ran very satisfied.

It was not until the next morning that the heavy rain slowly stopped.

The forest after the rain had an indescribable freshness, which made He Jiaojiao unable to help but take a few greedy deep breaths.

"Are you still heading south?"

Looking at the people who were already packing up, Zhutian couldn't help but ask.

"Ok!"

Zi Yi responded with a smile. He quite liked Zhutian. Especially when he heard that he and Mo Ran might be in danger, Zhutian planned to go out to look for them. He felt even more satisfied with him.

"Where are you going next? Do you want to come with us?"

As soon as he said that, Zi Yi noticed two gazes, one from Mo Ran and the other from Chi Yan.

But the words had already been spoken and it was impossible to take them back, so Zi Yi forced a smile with some embarrassment.

"I have to go back to the tribe and won't go with you!" Zhutian glanced at He Jiaojiao who was not far from the cave entrance, and a trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes.

"Okay!" Ziyi happily walked to Zhutian and patted his shoulder. "Then we'll meet again if we have the chance. I'll treat you to a delicious meal then."

Last night was too busy and he didn't have a chance to show his skills.

"okay!"

After seeing Zhutian off, Ziyi came to Mo Ran with a smile, wanting to help him clean up, but was given a cold look.

Did I do something wrong?

Zi Yi was puzzled, so he went closer to Chi Yan, but the result was the same.

"What did I do wrong? Why are you doing this?"

Ziyi couldn't help but ask.

"Zi Yi, you have to understand that Jiao Jiao's identity is special. Do you think it's appropriate for you to casually invite an unfamiliar male to accompany you?"

"How do you know if he intends to get close to Jiaojiao?"

Seeing that Zi Yi was about to refute, Mo Ran followed up with a sentence.

Zi Yi finally stopped worrying. Yes, a strange male saved them, brought them to the cave to shelter from the rain, and even gave them food. This was all too strange.

"I know I was wrong!"

Ziyi hung his head dejectedly.
