From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

The demon dragon was clearly not fully transformed by the Holy Lord's fire, and the aura representing the Li Fire trigram within him was incomplete. This also meant that although he had cultivated for over nine hundred years, he still had not reached the "Heaven-Reaching" realm and was merely wielding his demonic power.

Why would one deepen their connection with Heaven and Earth when their own Fire trigram is not yet complete?

And it's in Australia?

This "game within a game" may be the place where the Earth itself nurtures the "Mind Monkey." The Mind Monkey belongs to the element of fire and can also be used for alchemy, but it does not necessarily represent the Li trigram!

Therefore, Lu Jin didn't have time to think further and hurriedly contacted Jiang Liu.

And what about the river?

Traveling with Catherine's family members, they encountered the second task:

To survive in harsh natural environments, it is essential to supplement with plenty of protein.

So, lucky families who find this quest, please open the box behind the quest sign; the food inside is rich in protein!

note:

If you don't finish the food in one go, you have to find an equal amount of food in the jungle and eat it under the watchful eyes of a spy camera.

Timeframe: Ten days.

For a moment, everyone had a premonition that the food in the boxes at the rear of the mission, which was supposed to replenish their protein, would be hard to swallow.

Jiang Liu, in particular, twitched his ears slightly and heard a faint rustling sound inside the box, as if countless insects were wriggling.

Benny stepped forward, dragged out the box, opened it, and took a look—

"hiss--"

In an instant.

Except for Jiang Liu and Da Yu, everyone else gasped in shock.

The reason was that when the box was opened, it contained ten bowls of wriggling insects, including brown mealworms, snow-white silkworms, and yellow-green beetles.

"I knew it! We shouldn't have walked together!"

Esther practiced dark magic and frequently experimented on insects, but she had to put these insects in her mouth, chew them, and swallow them...

Just imagining it makes me gag.

"No, you should be thankful."

Yang Yuwen Xiaoyu came to her senses and rejected Esther's idea. "The production team will definitely not let us pass the task so easily. If we don't cooperate, the three of you will probably have to eat these ten bowls of worms, or food as disgusting as these ten bowls of worms."

Yin Yuwen Xiaoyu added, "Now there are seven of us, one bowl each, and the remaining three bowls can be divided equally among us."

"Do not."

Jiang Liu shook his head and said to Da Yu, "I think children need more protein because they are growing. What do you think, Da Yu?"

“We were thinking the same thing after all.” Dayu blinked, saw her two younger selves staring in disbelief, and nodded seriously.

She and the two Xiaoyus are the same person; if they eat, it's because she eats.

It's perfectly reasonable!

Hey! X2

The two girls spoke in unison, both expressing their dissatisfaction.

Catherine also said to her two children, "I think Jiang Liu is right. As children, you do need more protein."

Esther: "..."

Evil adult!

Benny, however, thanked her, saying, "Thank you, Mom. I do need protein to fill my stomach."

Seeing this, Catherine felt somewhat ashamed. After all, Benny was a bit slow-witted, and it was really inappropriate for her, as his mother, to "deceive" him like this.

But looking at the worms wriggling in the bowl—

Ok!

Let that bit of shame go to hell!

"Let's have a contest to see who can finish a bowl first, shall we?" The two little jades didn't dwell on Jiang Liu's jokes about their future selves and challenged Esther Benedict.

"Alright, let's go!"

Esther took a bowl, grabbed a white, wriggling worm from it, and bit into it.

Pfft!

In an instant, the insect's juices overflowed, and a strong fishy smell filled her mouth, causing Esther's face to turn pale and then red, but she still forced herself to swallow it down and said to the two little girls, "It's your turn!"

The two little girls exchanged a smile, unlike Esther who was "affected." They both reached into their bowls, picked up a handful of white worms, and, under Esther's shocked gaze, put them into their mouths. Their cheeks puffed out, their lips pursed, and they chewed them incessantly with great relish.

Seeing Esther's stunned expression, the two Jade girls even winked at her.

Instantly!

"Ugh~"

Esther felt her insides churning and could no longer hold back, so she ran to a nearby thicket and vomited repeatedly.

After the two Xiaoyu swallowed the worms in their mouths, Jiang Liu found some dry firewood nearby, started a fire, shaved out some skewers, skewered the worms, put them on the fire to roast, and poured on a little bit of salt that he had extracted from the wild boar's blood. A faint fragrance wafted out, making the two Xiaoyu turn their heads.

"What's wrong? The rules don't say it has to be eaten raw?"

Seeing that the two little jades were squinting, Jiang Liu said in a serious tone.

Afterwards, this challenge to replenish "protein" turned into a barbecue feast. Esther's personality is not much different from Jade's. Now, she was shocked by the scene of the two Jades eating live insects, and their relationship became much closer.

Moreover, Esther completely believed the descriptions of "ninjas" and "demons" given by the two Jade girls, and did not consider them to be boasts.

After all, her hotel was haunted and housed many strange creatures, in addition to a demon named Abaddon trapped inside the boy's body.

The two... or rather, the three of them, were completely like-minded.

“I didn’t experience any of these things back then.”

Da Yu looked on with envy. In her memory, not a single student was willing to believe her words, taking them only as a joke. Those who did believe her were either demons in disguise with ulterior motives, or they would become villains in the future... She really didn't know what to say.

Despite her envy, Dayu was, after all, an adult. She had lost three parts of her childlike innocence and gained seven parts of her adult composure. She asked Jiang Liu, "Speaking of which, was it really alright for me to play around with Esther two years ago?"

"fine."

Jiang Liu pointed at the two Xiaoyus whose thoughts were becoming more and more aligned and said with a smile, "It's actually a good thing to have a playmate of the same age who has a similar personality and similar experiences to 'you'. It can help to better harmonize the two of them."

Color and emptiness appear to be opposites, but in reality they are unified.

Fortunately, Xiaoyu's desires were not as lofty as those of Sun Wukong's divided mind. She did not seek to cultivate herself and attain enlightenment, nor did she wish to become famous for eternity. She simply enjoyed adventure and being disobedient, and her mind was pure.

Otherwise, to achieve the unity of "form" and "emptiness" in such a short time is nothing short of a pipe dream.

Just then, Jiang Liu received a "communication request" from Lu Jin and secretly contacted him, asking: "[What's wrong? Lu Jin, have we encountered the part where we have to eat insects?]"

What does this have to do with eating insects?

Lu Jin was puzzled, but didn't pay much attention to it. He told her everything he had learned from the Pumpkin Man Ghost, including how they had been tricked by Abaddon.

They threatened him by kidnapping Lu Jin and others...

To summon the evil dragon kept by the Holy Lord...

At the moment Abaddon absorbs demonic energy and becomes the true Ninth Demon, the other eight Demons will be present to watch...

The demon dragon plans to create a spell that will help him connect more deeply with the world...

You've been caught?

Jiang Liu didn't care about any of this, but his words carried a hint of teasing.

[I was careless...]

Mentioning this incident made Lu Jin blush with embarrassment and irritation, but she also inwardly cursed herself for letting her guard down around Abaddon.

Although it is a "child", it is also a representative of the will nurtured by the earth!

It's the mind!

Even though he himself cannot use any abilities, the wisdom he has accumulated is considerable! It is not outrageous that he could create a potion that made him faint.

More importantly, Brother Jiang clearly reminded Abaddon of his identity from the beginning, but he actually forgot about it... He really should reflect on this.

However, Jiang Liu was only making a joke; he could understand why Lu Jin was careless.

The little demon dragon has been captured, and there is no one else vying for the demonic energy. As long as the lotus buds grow, all eight demonic energies can be collected!

The real reason for participating in the program "Wilderness Survival: Space Family Adventure" was simply to have an entertaining and relaxing activity while waiting for the lotus buds to grow.

Spiritual practice also requires a balance between work and rest.

But who would have thought—

Because he didn't join the "Catherine family," Abaddon collaborated with the demon dragon to concoct potions and kidnap the "Chen Long family," intending to use them to blackmail him later...

But the little demon dragon also had other ideas, wanting to merge with heaven and earth...

So, can you get out of this predicament on your own?

That's no problem.

That's good.

Jiang Liu ended his conversation with Lu Jin.

save?

No need.

Instead of relying on breath control to slowly break through the meridians, Lu Jin could simply activate the first-order gene lock and instantly reconnect the entire body in the most "violent" way if he wanted to.

Furthermore.

It will take at least ten days for the lotus buds to bloom.

Helping Lu Jin, Duanmu Ying, and the others escape now might alert them. It would be better to wait for the eight demons to arrive and then capture them all at once.

As for the demon dragon—
