Looking down at Yao Ran, Long Yu noticed her eyes moved. A few seconds later, she slowly opened them.
Seeing him staring at her, Yao Ran rubbed her eyes and asked in a hoarse voice, "A Yu, how long have I been sleeping?"
Long Yu replied gently, "You slept for a few hours. Are you feeling better now?"
"Mhm."
Before Yao Ran could get up from his lap, a faint groaning sound came from the side- catching her attention. Turning her head, she saw Yao Yuechuan tied up like a dumpling while his mouth was stuffed with a cloth.
"What is going on here?" she asked in surprise.
Long Yu helped her up as he explained, "He met the big head deformed monster's eyes through the drone's camera and fell into an illusion."
Hearing this, Yao Ran's expression darkened. She quickly got up, then walked up to Yao Yuechuan and took out a bottle of lake water from her space.
Before pulling out the cloth stuffed in Yao Yuechuan's mouth, she said, "A Yu, help me keep his jaw open."
"Alright."
As Long Yu held Yao Yuechuan's jaw, Yao Ran pulled out the cloth. The moment it was removed, Yao Yuechuan's jaw tensed.
Before he could bite down, Yao Ran quickly poured the lake water into his mouth. Seeing that he could swallow it, she fed him half the bottle before stopping.
A few seconds after drinking the lake water, Yao Yuechuan's body slowly stopped twitching, and his expression eased.
"It looks like your lake water could help him escape the illusion," Long Yu said as Yao Yuechuan drifted into a deep sleep.
Yao Ran nodded, then, after a brief moment of thought, she asked, "A Yu, do you think we could use my lake water to deal with the big head deformed monster's illusion ability?"
Long Yu pondered for a while before replying, "Since your lake water could help Yao Yuechuan break free from the illusion, I think it should also be able to counter the big head deformed monster's ability."
He frowned and then added, "But your lake water can also enhance abilities, so we need to be careful. If we use it incorrectly, instead of weakening the big head deformed monster's ability, we might make it stronger."
Hearing this, Yao Ran nodded in agreement. "You are right. We should observe it first and find the best way to use it."
After she said that, Long Yu asked, "Do you have another drone?"
"Yes." Yao Ran took out another drone and handed it to him.
While they guarded Yao Yuechuan, Long Yu controlled the drone to scan the surroundings. Soon, he noticed movement five kilometers away.
Staring at the screen, both of them watched as a large group of deformed monsters slowly closed in. Not far from them, Wu Yehao and his men hid in the darkness, waiting for the deformed monsters to step into the traps they had set.
Watching the scene on the surveillance feed, Yao Ran said, "The deformed monsters are closing in as if they are trying to corner us."
Long Yu noticed it too. He frowned and responded, "If we fail to kill the big head deformed monster, we might have to fight to the death against these deformed monsters."
