Chapter 25 Moon Bay
Jiang Yuan slept for the whole day. When he woke up, the sky was already filled with sunset glow.
As soon as she woke up, Big Cat and Rabbit Man rushed over. The cat and the rabbit sat on her left and right, and stretched out their paws at the same time to help her up.
Seeing them looking at him with worry, Jiang Yuan was confused and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with me?"
Her memory still stayed at the time when she was repairing the Rabbit Man's magic power. She only remembered that her eyes suddenly went black and she completely lost consciousness.
Rabbit Man took out a cake wrapped in banana leaves from his arms and said to her, "You have lost too much energy. Eat something to replenish your energy first."
Big Cat used its tail to roll up a bamboo tube and handed it to Jiang Yuan. The tube contained water that they had prepared in advance.
"Meow!"
It stared at Jiang Yuan, and when it saw her take the bamboo tube, it stuck out its tongue and licked her hand. Its voice was full of worry and disquiet, but its tail was wagging leisurely, as if it was happy that she had woken up.
"Big Cat, you..." Jiang Yuan was a little surprised when she heard Big Cat's voice. She remembered that it could still speak last night, so why did it meow again today?
Rabbit Man glanced at Big Cat and explained for it: "It could only call like this after the sun came out this morning. If I'm not mistaken, it can only communicate with us at night."
The big cat squatted on the ground and spread out its paws. The more it thought about it, the angrier it got. It couldn't help but stretch out its paws to scratch the grass. What was in its mind, probably only it knew!
Jiang Yuan picked up a piece of cake from Rabbit Man, took two big bites, felt a little choked, and quickly drank a few sips of water.
As the food and water went down his throat, Jiang Yuan sighed, "It turns out that I still need to eat and drink enough to have strength."
She ate and looked around.
The place where she was sitting now was a patch of grass covered with a piece of cloth, located beside the main road. Looking ahead, a hundred meters away, there was a valley about a hundred feet high, standing tall.
In front of the valley, the mountain protection barrier was glowing. Two rabbit monsters wearing armor stood at the entrance of the valley behind the barrier, looking neither sad nor happy, and extremely serious.
Jiang Yuan took a bite of the dessert and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: They were so motionless, they really looked like two wooden monsters.
Seeing Jiang Yuan observing carefully, Rabbit Hero said, "That valley is Moon Bay, named after the bright moon at midnight."
"It's right in front of us, why don't we go in?" Jiang Yuan asked with a puzzled look.
Although she has been unconscious until now, the presence of Big Cat does not affect her schedule at all... Could it be that the two guards at the entrance of the valley did not let them in?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan looked at the two guards. One was a yellow lop-eared rabbit, which looked docile and not intimidating. The other one looked stronger, and just by standing there, it made other monsters dare not approach.
Just as she was looking at it, the strong rabbit guard suddenly looked at her, but his eyes narrowed, and Jiang Yuan felt her scalp tingling.
She couldn't help but raise her left hand to cover her head. When she looked at him again, she saw that his expression was calm and he just mouthed the words: If you look again, I will kill you!
Jiang Yuan: “…” Divine gold!
"What's wrong?" Rabbit Hero didn't notice her little action, and seeing her covering her head, he couldn't help but ask.
Jiang Yuan shook his head and said, "It's okay."
After saying these two words, she seemed to suddenly remember something and looked at Rabbit Man and said, "By the way, you haven't answered my question just now."
Rabbit Hero thought for a few breaths and said, "The situation in Moon Bay is special. There is a barrier guarding the outside of the valley. The barrier will only open when the moon rises to the top of the valley at midnight."
Jiang Yuan was stunned, remembering what Rabbit Hero said yesterday, and a new doubt came to his mind. He asked, "You said yesterday that we would be safe once we reached Moon Bay, but if we can't get into the valley and they catch up with us, how can we talk about safety?" Just as Rabbit Hero was about to answer, some other monsters came to the roadside one after another.
But he was not afraid at all. He just lowered his voice when talking to Jiang Yuan and said, "No private fighting is allowed within a hundred meters outside Moon Bay. If we find any monsters fighting privately, the two guards will naturally take action."
"I see!"
Jiang Yuan suddenly realized what was going on, but suddenly felt a vibration coming from the ground. She looked up and saw a huge black shadow approaching not far ahead.
Only when he got closer could Jiang Yuan see his appearance clearly. He was wearing a reddish-brown coarse cloth shirt, about two meters tall, with ears shaped like a palm-leaf fan, a long nose, and two teeth sticking out, which made him look particularly conspicuous. His limbs were as thick as pillars, and his feet were broad and thick, and he looked strong and powerful.
He had a smile on his face and his palms were touching his round belly. When he walked, the stones on the ground would shake. He looked honest and simple, but no monster dared to mess with him.
Seeing him appear, several little demons who arrived before him couldn't help but whisper to each other.
"Isn't this the young master of the elephant tribe? Why is he here in Moon Bay?"
"Moon Bay is located in a remote area, but it can attract many monsters. There is a reason for this. Some monsters come to see the Rabbit Moon Palace Master, and some monsters come to taste all the delicious food in Moon Bay."
"..."
Hearing the little monsters talking like this, another group of monsters not far from them breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems that not all monsters are coming for that thing..."
"Shh, stop talking, be careful not to be heard by other monsters."
"You are too timid...Okay, okay, I will shut up now."
"..."
Rabbit Hero moved his ears and took in all the voices. Seeing that they did not talk in detail, he felt a little disappointed in his heart, but did not show it on his face.
He looked up at the sky, which was gradually getting dark. After thinking for a moment, he drew out his knife and cut off a piece of the cloth on which Jiang Yuan was sitting.
Holding the cloth, he used his demonic power to take out a needle, a small bundle of thread, and a glowing ball from his sea of consciousness.
He handed the ball to Jiang Yuan and told her, "Hold it for me."
Jiang Yuan was puzzled, but did as he was told. Then he looked at Rabbit Man's movements seriously.
I saw him threading the needle with great skill.
The needle went through from one side and back from the other side. In just half a quarter of an hour, the ink-blue cloth was processed into the shape he wanted.
He stood up, picked up the finished thing and shook it, with a smile on his face, and said: "I haven't used that thing for a long time, I'm really not familiar with it."
Jiang Yuan knew that the "thing" he was talking about was the needle and thread, but she looked at the finished product in Rabbit Man's hands and asked, "Why do you want to do this?"
The Rabbit Man did not answer, but handed it to her and said, "Although the craftsmanship is a little poor, it is enough to conceal your identity. Put it on!"
Jiang Yuan was stunned, looking at the cloak in his hand...
