Many descendants

Su Yan was stunned.

Is this the leafless mountain that Zu Long warned us about?

How did she end up here? What bad luck...

[Xiaomei, can you sense anything?]

There's a barrier ahead, but Little Qi should be fine. Little Mei can get through by expending some energy too.

Should we go in?

[Go in, Xiaomei won't deduct any points from the host's account. Let's see what it's like inside. We'll extract the data later and turn it into a game.]

This game of yours is practically turning into our own unique travelogue.

[Yes, host.] Xiao Mei did indeed develop the game following Su Yan's path. Every map is based on her personal experiences.

This is also why children enjoy playing games; it allows them to better understand Su Yan and feel closer to their "mother." While the father beast is an important source of support for the children, the mother beast better satisfies their young hearts.

Therefore, the cubs that followed Su Yan, regardless of their developmental data in all aspects, even if they had low or no talent, far surpassed those cubs of the birth system who were treated as objects and abandoned.

Su Yan entered the Mountain of Leafless Trees.

A bone-chilling cold swept over me instantly.

Su Yan immediately set up an isolation barrier around herself, and the temperature gradually returned to normal.

She used the system map to survey her surroundings.

Unlike in the Sea of ​​Flames, the system map here is limited to a range of less than thirty meters.

"Xiaomei, nothing grows within a 30-meter radius here; it's all cold, hard stone."

Yes, host, 89.9% of the entire mountain is rock.

Suddenly, a place radiated golden light; it was a treasure trove of rare and precious materials.

The system map is extremely sensitive to rare and precious medicinal materials. This is related to the fact that Su Yan needs a large amount of rare and precious medicinal materials every time she becomes pregnant.

The system that Xiaomei developed specifically for Su Yan is mostly designed to facilitate tasks related to childbirth.

Su Yan walked over and found it was a fist-sized stone. It looked ordinary on the outside, but it resembled jade, having originally been encased in ordinary rough stone.

Xiao Mei helped Su Yan remove the outer stone shell, revealing the vibrant green divine jade inside.

【This can be given to Xiao Shiwu; she loves these jewel-colored things the most.】

"Host, there's another rock like this ahead," Xiao Mei reminded Su Yan.

Sure enough, the system map showed a watermelon-sized rock radiating a shimmering golden light.

Su Yan put the stone away, not in a hurry to let Xiao Mei open it, because she had discovered something else...

In the end, the entire seemingly barren mountain became Su Yan's 'raw material wholesale market,' where she was extremely busy.

They even secretly released Little Eleven, who was more powerful than the system map. He dug straight down and soon unearthed a huge piece of yellowish-brown rough stone.

“Mother, there must be something good in here,” Little Eleven said with certainty.

Su Yan put the stone away. "Okay, when you have time later, you can rummage through the stones in the system space and have some fun."

"Okay, Mother." Little Eleven started rummaging again.

Two mice, one big and one small, scurried about on a rocky hillside...

As Xiao Shi searched, he ran up the mountain.

Seeing that he was about to run out of her system map, Su Yan quickly summoned him back into her space and then released him back to her side. "Don't run around, and don't stray more than ten meters away from your mother."

Little Eleven agreed.

Su Yan picked up a black stone shaped like a top hat; the system map indicated it was a rare and precious treasure.

"I'll call you Black Gentleman," Su Yan said with a smile, then put it away.

As Xiao Shiyi was digging, he discovered a huge hole and called out to Su Yan, "Mom, look here."

Su Yan walked over, lightly jumped onto Xiao Shiyi's back, and said, "Let's go in and explore."

"Okay." Little Eleven led Su Yan into the cave.

Upon entering the cave, Su Yan discovered that her system map had instantly shrunk from thirty meters to five meters, indicating that there was something strange about the space here.

"Little Eleven, go into the space first and play with your brothers and sisters, opening stones together. Mom will walk around and take a look. If it's interesting, I'll call you out."

"Okay." Little Eleven obediently listened.

Su Yan patted his head and put Xiao Shiyi into the system space.

She ran along the corners, and sometimes she would hide inside large cracks.

It got darker the further in she went, so Su Yan stopped for a while.

[Xiaomei, can you scan inside?]

[No. Xiaomei's data cable, like the host's system map, is being suppressed by an invisible energy.]

"Hmm, it seems there's definitely something strange going on here. Shall we turn back?"

【There is no going back.】

【What?】 Su Yan looked back and saw that there was only darkness behind her, as if that darkness was alive and was quietly following her, getting closer and closer!

Su Yan dared not rest any longer and continued running forward. She remembered what Yi had said—if she accidentally wandered into that area, it would be very troublesome!

What could be something that even the First Emperor found troublesome?!

[Xiao Mei analyzed its data and found it somewhat similar to the power of the Yuan Demon, suggesting it's a devouring type. Perhaps the host could summon Jian? Let's see if he can get here.]

【Difficult?】 Su Yan immediately transformed into human form and reached behind her back... Luckily, she was thin; if she were any fatter, she wouldn't have been able to reach it.

A hard scratch with your fingertip broke the skin and drew blood!

Whether Jian could receive her summons was unknown, but the darkness, like flies that had smelled blood, swarmed toward her.

Su Yan dared not stop any longer, and transformed into a mouse, continuing to run forward quickly.

Just as he was running, someone grabbed his body; it was a sign of trouble!

"Yan Yan, you summoned me?" Jian asked with a smile, in an extremely good mood.

Su Yan hurriedly said, "Look behind you, what's that dark thing?"

“It’s an evil spirit.” Jian tucked Su Yan into his arms, then turned around, his body radiating an aura of demonic devouring.

Those evil spirits, as if encountering a mist of light, instantly dispersed.

Su Yan breathed a sigh of relief. "Alright, you can go now."

"Just a tool." Jian toyed with Su Yan in his palm, then his gaze suddenly sharpened. "What happened to your leg?"

"I got struck by lightning." Su Yan glanced at the bald spot on her hind leg, which hadn't grown back yet.

Jian carried her and walked towards the cave entrance, saying, "It seems to be no ordinary thunder."

"It all comes down to you! You said the First Emperor was afraid of rain, but he was afraid! He just struck us with lightning!"

“…” Jian gave an awkward laugh and then stopped in his tracks.

Yi stands directly in front.

He stared coldly at Jian, "Primal Demon Power? Where did you get that from?"

Jian replied, "Brother Yi, this place is really hard to get into."

Upon hearing his words, Su Yan instantly realized what he meant, "Jian! You did this on purpose!"

"Hmm?" Jian smiled and looked at Su Yan.

Looking at his pleased eyes, Su Yan became even more certain, "You deliberately gave Xiao Mei the wrong information, saying that Zu Long was afraid of rain, just to make me anger Yi and then ask for help. No one else can get here, only you can!"

Jian's expression gradually turned wicked. "Yan Yan is so clever!"
