Chapter 4953: 5.0705 Recovery

Lord Qiaoqiao glanced at him guiltily and softly said, "Worried."

Duan Yue's heart softened a bit, and he looked at her with gentle eyes.

Through the defense shield, he patted her head. "What's there to worry about, you silly little thing. Come on, let's go. The rain's getting heavier. We'll talk inside the cabin."

Qiao Mu couldn't help but pout.

He said it as if heavy rain affected him.

In reality, the raindrops and mist were evaporated by his divine power a few feet away from him; not a single drop could touch him.

Qiao Mu looked at Duan Yue, who was happily eating a bowl of noodles, with an indescribable expression.

"Qiaoqiao, your treasure food box truly has... porridge, noodles, rice, everything!"

When he came up earlier, he grumbled, "I'm hungry. If only I had a hot bowl of noodles right now."

As a result, the little girl expressionlessly pulled out a food box and immediately presented him with a bowl of mushroom, green vegetable, and shredded pork noodles.

"Mommy isn't going to eat anything else today!" The little stoic-face raised her hand to soothe her belly, dissipating the restless warmth from the baby within.

She didn't want to eat until she was stuffed and then have to digest it.

From her medical perspective, she had indeed eaten a bit too much today.

"You can talk now."

The little stoic-face immediately asked, her expression serious, after he put down his chopsticks.

"What's the situation inside the Sacrificial Sea Abyss?"

"The entrance is completely blocked. From the looks of it, there must have been a fierce battle inside."

"If we were to dig open this entrance, relying solely on human labor to dig little by little, it would take at least half a month."

"What about blasting it open with spiritual energy pearls?"

"That might make it worse," Duan Yue said to her with a serious expression. "The path below is completely sealed by glaciers. The ice layer is very thick. If we blast it with spiritual energy pearls, the cave entrance might not even survive."

"Then the entire entrance to the Sacrificial Sea Abyss will collapse, making it impossible to go up or down, which would be even more troublesome."

Qiao Mu thought about it and agreed. After a moment of silence, she said, "Then what do you think we should do?"

"Dig! Since we can't directly open the passage with external force, we can only dig it manually. So, we might have to stay here for a while."

"But your body..."

"I'm fine," Qiao Mu quickly straightened her little back. "You don't need to worry about me. I'm perfectly fine everywhere."

In a few days, when her divine consciousness recovers, she should be even better.

Duan Yue looked at her. "Alright then, if you feel uncomfortable anywhere, you must tell me early."

"Okay," Qiao Mu nodded.

For the next five or six days, Duan Yue led Shao Yi and others, diving into the Sacrificial Sea Abyss daily to dig an entrance to the passage.

Qiao Mu mostly sat in her egg-shell defense shield, gazing longingly at the bottomless pit, waiting for them to come up. She would sit there for most of the day.

On this particular day, Qiao Mu was still sitting at the cave entrance, staring blankly at the endless abyss.

Suddenly, she heard a familiar and excited voice, "Master! Master, Master, Master!!"

Qiao Mu's spirits immediately lifted. At first, she thought she was hallucinating.

Then she saw the Little Treeman and the Little Waterdrop suddenly bounce out of the Star Domain, jumping onto her head, one on each side.

"Master, what's going on? You had us worried sick."

"Yeah, yeah, what happened to your识渊 (Shi Yuan)?"
