Should we move to a relatively safer place to have a proper talk?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Cang was just about to press Li Si about the bamboo tube explosion, to see if this guy's claim of \"being plotted against\" was deceptive nonsense or actually true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after hearing Li Si's words, he had to temporarily suppress this doubt again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he wasn't willing to be led by the nose by Li Si.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he didn't directly accept the suggestion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze swept over this area of the Forest of Oddities, which had been eroded by the extra-concentrated mist due to the moon infant's birth, and he asked Li Si:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I remember some egg-laying creatures eat their eggshells for nutrition after hatching.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This newly born moon infant...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was originally such a huge giant sphere, yet it was born just this finger-sized.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And 99.99% of the contents of the giant sphere transformed into this extra-concentrated mist.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So I'm thinking, should this mini moon infant absorb some of this extra-concentrated mist to supplement its nutrition for rapid growth?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Si's expression was somewhat subtle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of silence, he took a deep breath and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Theoretically, you might be right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But in reality, we don't have the conditions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is—no time, no ability.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your desire for this mini moon infant to absorb the extra-concentrated mist is good, but the problem is, how to absorb it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mist is definitely not as simple as you think.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even Sun People players, without wearing prison watches, are helpless against it and have to keep a respectful distance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not to mention, this even more bizarre 'extra-concentrated' mist...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moreover, even if you truly had the ability to help the moon infant absorb this extra-concentrated mist, we don't have time now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moon People and Sun People, far more powerful than us, and even the Moon-Devouring Giant Toad, could appear here at any moment!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And they certainly can't absorb away this extra-concentrated mist either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, we should leave first. Helping the moon infant absorb the extra-concentrated mist can perhaps be planned for later!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Si was using normal human logic, and his words were very reasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Chen Cang was not a normal person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the \"protagonist\"!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The so-called \"protagonist\" is meant to shatter ordinary people's perceptions and turn what is deemed \"impossible\" in the eyes of common folk into \"possible\"!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more Li Si said \"theoretically feasible but impossible in reality,\" the more Chen Cang wanted to directly turn theoretical feasibility into reality!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, he was being influenced more and more by the Protagonist Halo! He increasingly felt that as long as he wanted to do something, he could succeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately asked Witch Gui Jiang Ye in his heart if there was any way to help the moon infant absorb the extra-concentrated mist...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Witch Gui Jiang Ye couldn't quite describe his feelings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't look down on Chen Cang's protagonist mentality much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the contrary, he was quite envious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like some people mock the young for being poor, while others envy the young for having infinite possibilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's often said online—youthful spirit is a non-renewable resource.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye had always felt that so-called youthful spirit is a sense of \"the world belongs to me,\" a protagonist feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why does this thing diminish and disappear with age?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's because fate plays tricks, using repeated blows, even \"beatings,\" to make the young realize they are not the ones favored by fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world never belonged to them, and it can't even be bothered to glance their way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, under repeated beatings, youthful spirit is lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the young read \"don't bully the young for being poor,\" they only feel a surge of passion, believing the future holds infinite possibilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the middle-aged read \"don't bully the young for being poor\" again, all that remains is a bitter self-mockery from \"don't bully the young for being poor\" to \"respect for the deceased.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the journey from youth to middle age turns the once-imagined \"future\" into reality, and then one witnesses with their own eyes—that their own future had no infinite possibilities, just a mess of trivialities...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for someone like Chen Cang, favored by fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless of the final outcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least during the process of being favored by fate, he is confident to the point of being arrogant and overbearing, acting without restraint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He doesn't need to be timid and hesitant like ordinary people, but can live freely and unrestrainedly, doing everything according to his own wishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, heaven itself has his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this way, Witch Gui Jiang Ye actually gave Chen Cang a serious analysis:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"According to your earlier analysis, some egg-laying creatures eating their eggshells for nutrition is an autonomous behavior.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If this newly born moon infant truly needs the nutrition from the extra-concentrated mist, then logically, it should absorb it on its own, without needing help from others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the state of this moon infant is indeed a bit strange—perhaps the layer of solid-state mist surrounding it prevents it from absorbing the extra-concentrated mist?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or perhaps it needs to absorb the solid-state mist first before it can absorb this extra-concentrated mist that overflowed from the giant sphere?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, according to Jiang Ye's analysis...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it's solid-state mist, extra-concentrated mist, or regular mist, they are essentially all mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There should be a hierarchy among these mists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, back in the Doomsday Apartment era, he had already realized that mist has a hierarchy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most vivid example is—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Salvation, when he generated the SSS-grade light clone \"Jiang Yue,\" he consumed one of Salvation's \"mist milk stones.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The so-called \"mist milk stones\" are actually solid-state mist, also known as \"ice ore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's just that with the change of eras, it was renamed \"mist milk stones.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye had analyzed back then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The level of mist in his environment could affect the generation of his clones!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the current Doomsday Prison era background, perhaps this rule still holds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this way, Jiang Ye couldn't help but have some ulterior thoughts about the layer of solid-state mist surrounding that mini moon infant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he forcibly competed with the moon infant for \"nutrition,\" using the solid-state mist surrounding it to generate a clone...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, what kind of clone would be generated?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, what he was even more curious about was—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could the bizarre existence inside that pregnant woman version clone \"Jiang Yue\" be \"born\"?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it can be \"born,\" then what kind of ghostly thing would be born?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he mass-produced that kind of pregnant woman version clone, could he then mass-produce that kind of unknown ghostly thing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more Jiang Ye understood about this era, the more he looked forward to regaining the ability to generate clones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, all this mist everywhere, the extra-concentrated mist, the solid-state mist... it felt like such a waste!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After his serious analysis, Chen Cang thought—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it was his [Blood Prison Contract] that affected the moon infant's abilities, causing it to fail to quickly absorb the solid-state mist and extra-concentrated mist...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, Chen Cang made a bold decision—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He directly cut his finger and let the flowing blood drip onto the mini moon infant wrapped in a layer of ice ore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the characteristics of [Blood Prison Contract], Chen Cang's blood would become essential nutrition for the little moon infant's growth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, dripping blood onto \"ice ore\"...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was not something just anyone dared to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood shed by players in the mist would quickly disperse into the mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, it would condense into a small patch of thin blood mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, that already thin blood mist would be diluted into nothingness by the boundless mist, like a stone sinking into the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the \"dilution\" effect of \"ice ore\" on blood seemed even more extreme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood Chen Cang dripped onto the \"ice ore\" disappeared into that layer of \"ice ore\" in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It appeared it hadn't been fed into the moon infant at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This directly made Chen Cang frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Li Si timely suggested: \"Coincidentally, I know of a special blood pool. How about taking the moon infant to soak in the blood pool first?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Cang was speechless, thinking to himself: Not just anyone's blood works!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's because I signed the [Blood Prison Contract] with the moon infant, so only my blood...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, halfway through his internal complaint, he changed his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the moon infant, indeed only his blood was \"nutrition.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for him, the so-called \"blood pool\" might be entirely convertible into his blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On one hand, it might potentially enhance his bloodline talent abilities;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, perhaps the refined blood pool could also help the moon infant...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, it was only here that Li Si managed to persuade Chen Cang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two then headed towards the blood pool where the Cheng Lin version of Jiang Ye was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, Witch Gui Jiang Ye still didn't know that the Cheng Lin version of Jiang Ye was at the Blood Pool and Forest of Flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his heart, he actually wanted to go to the \"Exile City\" Li Si mentioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because based on Li Si's earlier introduction, Jiang Ye could easily guess—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that so-called \"Exile City,\" he should be able to regain his ability to generate clones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, according to Li Si, during the [solar eclipse] period, he teamed up with Sun People players to explore Exile City, and later, the Sun People and Moon People all turned into \"variant\" versions that could project images within the eyeballs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye guessed that kind of \"variant version\" meant they had become his clones...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had wanted to go to \"Exile City\" back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he didn't want to miss the plot surrounding the \"protagonist\" either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, it came to be that Chen Cang and Li Si, along with Witch Gui Jiang Ye residing in the [Heart Demon Nest], appeared before the Cheng Lin version of Jiang Ye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is, the reunion at the Blood Pool and Forest of Flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment of reunion, the two Jiang Ye clones shared the joy of reunion, synchronizing memories from both sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in such a joyful moment, Jiang Ye still kept a portion of his attention observing the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He discovered—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Du Yuheng's eyes actually flashed with two successive red glows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although extremely fast and concealed very well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jiang Ye, equipped with mechanical eyeballs, naturally still noticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was at this moment that Jiang Ye belatedly thought of a minor, detail-oriented BUG.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skill [True Sight Eye], one of his clones had possessed it before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus the effect of [Clone Fusion], many of his clones had used this skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he could basically confirm—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When using the skill [True Sight Eye], there shouldn't be a red glow flashing in the eyes, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Du Yuheng indeed still had reservations towards him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The detection-type skill this guy used was probably not [True Sight Eye].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And a detection-type skill that needed to be deliberately concealed...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was probably extremely unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thought flashed through his mind, but at this moment, in this situation, of course he didn't expose it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Chen Cang, without mechanical eyeballs, didn't seem to have noticed Du Yuheng's anomaly either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He directly flashed to the edge of the blood pool, his gaze sweeping over the three people in the blood pool, first landing on the Cheng Lin version of Jiang Ye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're that guy from before...\" he spoke, his tone clearly carrying caution and hostility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because earlier, when Chen Cang was cutting down trees, he was interfered with by Li Si using the \"Cheng Lin\" identity and two other Sun People players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clearly remembered that those three Sun People players at the time clearly wanted to erase him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ye didn't want to take the blame for this. He directly transformed into his original form, then flashed and actively latched onto Chen Cang's wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Chen Cang, wearing him as a watch, directly turned into the appearance of \"Cheng Lin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Chen Cang confirmed this appearance, Jiang Ye left his wrist again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking human form, he directly explained:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The one using my identity back then wasn't me, but Li Si beside you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Cang looked at Li Si.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Si also explained: \"The one who attacked you back then wasn't me. It was the two other Sun People players beside me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This series of passing the buck...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Directly rendered Chen Cang speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it also gave him plenty of face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, generally, strong players disdain explanations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the weak explain to the strong, try to reason with the strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically, this \"Cheng Lin\" was a Sun and Moon Person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had higher authority, he could also try to erase Chen Cang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn't, and instead specifically explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This gave Chen Cang plenty of face and greatly satisfied his vanity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Chen Cang didn't dwell on it anymore, his gaze falling on Du Yuheng and He Yuliang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, when he glanced at Du Yuheng, his gaze was utterly calm, as if the \"protagonist\" was scanning an insignificant \"background character.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In contrast, when looking at He Yuliang, Chen Cang's eyes flickered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When He Yuliang met Chen Cang's gaze, he was also somewhat surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had interacted with Chen Cang in his \"previous life,\" but not in this Blood Pool and Forest of Flesh...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not much time had passed in his \"current life,\" yet many things were already different from his previous life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As He Yuliang sighed inwardly, Chen Cang spoke to him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you here?
