85 Unexpected Side Effec

"Mister Long, something is happening to Xixi!" Li Xue Lan's panicked voice travelled into his ears.

Raising his head to look at Xixi, he realised that her eyes had rolled back and her body started jerking. It was similar to an epileptic shock.

While this happened, the iris of her eyes constantly flashed blue and red.

"Xixi, what happened? Don't scare me!" Long Yu asked with worry. The child's condition right now was clearly abnormal.

Just seconds ago, Xixi was still licking the juice of the blood fruit off her fingers. The sudden changes to her naturally made him worried.

Calming himself, Long Yu tried to lay Xixi on her side. Otherwise, she might accidentally bite her own tongue during her convulsion. However, he found himself unable to approach. Something semi-transparent was blocking his way.

'Why has her ability activated?' Long Yu looked upon with anxiousness. Normally, Xixi had to consciously activate her ability. Yet now, it has manifested by itself for some reason.

The thing that obstructed him was naturally Xixi's barrier. The familiar hexagonal outlines could be recognised on the barrier, shimmering constantly.

"Ah!" Li Xue Lan suddenly gasped in fright.

'What now?' he thought amidst his confusion.

As he looked around, he saw the cutleries and plates on the dining table started floating. He even noticed some spoons and forks bending and twisting by some unknown force. Coupled with the shaking inside the RV, it was no wonder Li Xue Lan was frightened by the eerie sight.

*Clang*

Suddenly, all the cutleries and plates dropped back onto the table, creating a mess. The trembling had also stopped as if it never happened.

"Xixi, are you alright?" Long Yu immediately held Xixi in his hands when he noticed the barrier had disappeared.

The little girl weakly opened her eyes and mumbled, "Very…tired…"

Hearing this, Long Yu quickly checked her condition with the system. Luckily, she was only exhausted due to her sudden convulsion.

"Alright, don't worry, just go to sleep," Long Yu carried her in his arms and brought her into the bedroom. He then laid her on the bed and covered her with a blanket.

"How is she?" Li Xue Lan asked worriedly.

"She's fine…" Long Yu answered with forced smile.

He had been too careless. Since the blood fruit was described by the system to have fully beneficial properties, he assumed it would be completely safe to consume.

Although it didn't cause any real harm to Xixi, the unexpected side effects from the fruit still affected her.

"Go rest up, we'll leave in an hour," Long Yu told Li Xue Lan.

Since Xixi's condition didn't seem too serious, he decided to continue proceeding to their destination.

….

Around an hour later, Long Yu's group was back on the road, traveling to the secret underground facility.

Xixi was now lying flat on the back seats, with her head resting on Li Xue Lan's lap.

Long Yu would occasionally look back to make sure that the little lass was alright.

Along the way, the road started to narrow and its surface grow uneven.

Not long after, they reached the end of the road, which seemingly led to no particular direction. In front of them was just an expanse of barren dirt land.

"The road is…gone?" Li Xue Lan said in confusion.

Long Yu was not surprised since he knew the place that they were heading to was supposed to be top secret.

If it was visible to the public, then there was no point in hiding it in the first place. After all, the fact that they erased the location from satellite maps proved how important the place is.

Long Yu did not bother to stop the vehicle. He pressed a button on the dashboard, causing an audible whir from under the Black Shark. He had just activated the off-road mode of the Black Shark to suit the change of terrain.

A storm of brown red dust was kicked up as the vehicle rushed across the barren dirt land.

Along the way, Long Yu spotted a few inconspicuous structures, which he presumed were watchtowers. However, since here was no one stopping them, it was obvious there was no longer anyone guarding the place anymore. Otherwise, there was no way they would allow an unknown civilian vehicle to approach the secret facility.

Regardless, Long Yu continued to drive to their destination without any obstacles.

However, even after reaching the coordinates given by the system, all they could see was a medium sized wooden cabin.

Long Yu checked the coordinates again and saw that there was no mistake. They were indeed at the right coordinates. There were no changes to the location of Xixi's mother either, according to the system.

'Guess this is the right place then,' Long Yu thought to himself as he parked the vehicle a few meters from the cabin.

He then turned around and said, "Miss Li, you should stay in the car with Xixi. I'll go down and take a look. Please look after her for me, alright?"

"Don't worry, leave Xixi to me. I will protect her with my life!" Li Xue Lan quickly replied with a serious look on her face.

"Uh, sure…" Long Yu was left a little speechless at her proclamation.

He wasn't actually expecting Li Xue Lan to physically protect the child. Although she has the ability to detect danger, she was still weak in combat.

With the defence of the Black Shark, it should be able to hold off any enemies for a while. Furthermore, the vehicle's system would also alert him if the Black Shark was ever attacked.
