The pet care she studied is the real animal control major, right?

……What's this?

While Qin Jiu was in a trance, Eve had already ordered the alien beasts to stop the war beasts from encircling them. At the same time, Yue Qingyu on the side had gradually broken free from the restraints.

Qin Jiu did not rush to chase after him, but instead began to look at Eve and Yue Qingyu.

Eve was backing away from him, while Yue Qingyu wanted to get closer to him. No matter how you looked at it, Yue Qingyu was protecting her master...

A picture that had been forgotten in a corner suddenly appeared in Qin Jiu's mind, and he had a vague guess in his heart.

She took the initiative to withdraw her attack, and Yue Qingyu twisted her body in a strange posture and attacked Qin Jiu without any obstruction.

Qin Jiu dodged Yue Qingyu's attack by leaning sideways nimbly. Then, under Eve's somewhat incredulous gaze, she grabbed Yue Qingyu's neck and lifted her up, then pierced Yue Qingyu's body with the sword.

A wild beast's roar came out of Yue Qingyu's throat. Qin Jiu drew his sword, and purple-red blood gushed out from Yue Qingyu's wound.

But a strange thing happened. The wound that should have remained was healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As an optimized body, Yue Qingyu does have the ability to recover quickly, but it is impossible for him to have such terrifying efficiency and speed.

All these anomalies point to one answer——

Yue Qingyu is being blessed by an external force that does not belong to her.

After doing this, Qin Jiu looked in Eve's direction. Sure enough, she saw a trace of fear flash across Eve's face, and her whole little face turned pale.

She glanced at the barrier with the corner of her eye. She didn't know if it was her illusion or if it was real, but the color of the barrier seemed to have faded a little.

Qin Jiu let go of Yue Qingyu. Surprisingly, Yue Qingyu, whose body had been fully restored, did not attack Qin Jiu again. Instead, he retreated to Eve's side like a stray dog.

The war beasts and alien beasts were fighting around the two of them, leaving them a relatively quiet central area.

Qin Jiu and Eve stood face to face, neither of them moved, as if all the troubles in the outside world had nothing to do with them.

But Eve's face was gloomy at this moment, and she couldn't even maintain the murderous smile she usually wore. Her fierce hatred almost took shape and pierced through Qin Jiu.

Qin Jiu, on the other hand, had a nonchalant look on his face, and that calm look made Eve even more angry.

"Let me guess," Qin Jiu's eyes fell on Yue Qingyu, who was keeping her head down and not saying anything. She had an intriguing smile on her face. "She is the core of this barrier, right? She won't die because this barrier is giving her a chance to live, just like the commotion you caused on Xirang Star before."

Qin Jiu pointed to the barrier in the sky and said, "That barrier that absorbs the vitality of others to supply your vitality."

Every time Qin Jiu said something, Eve's face darkened. After all, she was still a child, her eyes couldn't hide anything, and her emotions were all shown on her face.

Qin Jiu knew her answer without her needing to reply, and in the next moment, Qin Jiu told Eve the truth that shocked her even more.

"Besides, your goal is not to keep her alive. You are not so kind-hearted. Rather... you can only achieve your goal through her, right?"

If Qin Jiu guessed correctly, this barrier was indeed absorbing the vitality of the humans inside to become the source of Eve's energy recovery.

But now Eve already has a human body, and the excessive energy gathered in her body will not be able to fully absorb it and will be broken.

After all, Eve's health was not as good as they imagined. From the moment she was abandoned as a little piece of meat, it was destined that her physical fitness was not as good as Qin Jiu's.

This meant that it took her a long time to recover.

The appearance of Yue Qingyu undoubtedly became her best transit point.

Yue Qingyu's body has been modified and possesses the genes of an alien beast, so his physical fitness is definitely better than most people.

But this was not the main reason why Eve chose her. Eve was attracted by something else——

She has been mostly alienated, so naturally she belongs to the category of alien beast rather than human. Eve can easily control her.

An obedient and powerful container that becomes an intermediate transition tool for Eve to absorb energy.

Eve has an invisible umbilical cord tightly bound to Yue Qingyu's body, and it is trying hard to absorb the purified energy from the "mother".

Of course, this is an irreversible process, and Yue Qingyu will eventually die slowly because her vitality has been sucked away.

But this is nothing to Eve, it's just a container, she won't feel pity for an object.

If Yue Qingyu is useless, then find the next one. Yue Qingyu is not the only optimized body here anyway.

But now, her purpose was laid out so nakedly in front of Qin Jiu. Qin Jiu analyzed her thoroughly from the inside out. This feeling of being invaded and seen through made Eve fall into deep anxiety.

Obviously, she has always been the only one who can read Qin Jiu's memory and peek into her life. Why does everything seem to be out of control now?

"Maintaining such a large magic array requires a lot of effort, right? So as long as there is a deviation in any step inside, you will not be able to maintain the existence of the barrier." Qin Jiu's voice was calm but full of certainty. She had completely seen through the other party's intentions.

"The reason why you dared to let her appear in front of me is because you knew I would not hurt her. You confidently put the core in front of me to influence my judgment. But unfortunately, you failed." Qin Jiu smiled, but that smile seemed like the mockery of a messenger from hell to Eve.

"It's time to end this farce." After saying that, Qin Jiu clenched his fists towards the void. Yue Qingyu, who was standing next to Eve, suddenly screamed in pain. She twisted her body, her bones creaked, and made a creepy sound.

Qin Jiu had implanted the small flying needles into Yue Qingyu's body at some point. At this moment, they felt Qin Jiu's call and wanted to break through Yue Qingyu's body. The tormenting pain made Yue Qingyu almost unbearable, and her body began to be destroyed from the inside. The moment the small needle flew out, her body was almost stung like a hornet's nest.

"Ugh!" Eve groaned, blood gushing out from her mouth. At the same time, the barrier trembled, and the color dimmed.

As Qin Jiu expected, Yue Qingyu's body quickly recovered. She lay on the ground in pain, and her originally empty eyes seemed to have a faint light.

——Eve's control over her is slowly slipping away.

Everyone was paying attention to Eve and Qin Jiu, and no one noticed that the barrier in a corner had disappeared. Fei Qixia finally broke through the barrier and entered the central battlefield.

"Great, I hope I can still catch up!"
