Chapter 115
The rabbit's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a scornful smile. It flashed, transforming into a streak of white light as it sped towards the space cage. However, when it made contact with the space cage, a crisp crash was heard: "Bang!"
The collision caught the rabbit off guard, and it slammed heavily into the space wall, as if it had been slapped hard by an invisible hand. In an instant, countless golden stars appeared in the rabbit's eyes, and its entire body began to spin.
"Haha..." Seeing this scene, Lin Ziyu couldn't help but burst out laughing. He pointed at the spinning rabbit and said excitedly to Long Yan, "Brother Yan, look! Just now, this rabbit actually dared to look down on you. Now it's dizzy!" After saying that, he couldn't help laughing out loud again.
Long Yan smiled and stroked Lin Ziyu's hair, his eyes filled with fondness. Without a word, he glanced at the rabbit in the cage. He had a feeling this rabbit was something special; the previous collision didn't seem to be a big deal. Sure enough, after the rabbit stopped spinning, it shook its head a few times and quickly regained consciousness. It attacked again in a different direction, once, twice... five times.
Every attack it made was mercilessly repelled. But it didn't give up, trying again and again to attack the space cage. After each failure, the result remained unchanged. It looked at Lin Ziyu and Long Yan with a very aggrieved expression, tears in its eyes, as if to say, "You bully Tutu, Tutu has it so hard!"
Lin Ziyu was stunned by its eyes and said, "Brother Yan, look at it, it actually looks aggrieved." After that, Lin Ziyu squatted beside the space cage and looked at it.
A bright light shot towards Lin Ziyu at lightning speed, then vanished before his ears. Long Yan quickly came to Lin Ziyu's side, checking if he was injured. He looked at the rabbit with a cold gaze.
The rabbit was trembling with fear, its fur standing on end, and its eyes wide open, filled with terror. Then, Lin Ziyu suddenly heard a voice: "You bullied the rabbit. You took away the two wives of the rabbit. The rabbit just wanted to get his wives back."
Lin Ziyu was startled and quickly grabbed Long Yan's hand and asked, "Brother Yan, did you hear the rabbit talking?"
Long Yan shook his head, indicating he hadn't heard anything. However, a thought struck him, as he concluded the light was the rabbit actively signing a contract with Lin Ziyu. He looked toward Lin Ziyu's ear, where the light had vanished. A red rabbit lay there. Red signified a master-servant contract.
Long Yan pointed to the rabbit in the space cage and said to Lin Ziyu, "Ziyu, feel it and see if you can control the rabbit."
A cute little rabbit appeared in Lin Ziyu's mind. This rabbit was snow-white and furry, with a pair of sparkling red eyes, looking very charming. Moreover, this rabbit could change color, sometimes turning green, sometimes blue, white, and sometimes black, which was particularly magical.
Lin Ziyu tried to control the rabbit, making it perform various movements and postures. To his surprise, the rabbit in the cage also performed the same movements and postures! However, its expression was very aggrieved.
Seeing this, Long Yan nodded in satisfaction, then waved his hand and removed the spatial cage. However, the released rabbit showed no joy. Instead, it took a few steps away from them, looking aggrieved and fearful. It thought to itself, "These two are truly terrifying! I can't defeat one, and yet the other can actually bully a rabbit..."
Long Yan glanced at the rabbit with a cold expression, as if it were an insignificant existence. He took Lin Ziyu's hand and led him away. After walking a few steps, Lin Ziyu turned back to look at the rabbit.
The rabbit watched them go away, feeling a little lost and helpless. He had no choice but to hop after them, leaving behind a trail of cute footprints.

The atmosphere in the Dragon Emperor Palace was solemn.
"Your Majesty, when Prime Minister Bai went to deliver elixirs to the Wing Tribe, he was attacked by suspected foreign invaders. Some people were killed, and some escaped. Most of those who were killed were orcs." Long An reported the news to the Dragon Emperor with a heavy face.
The Dragon Emperor frowned, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes. He knew full well that this incident could trigger a series of chain reactions. The presence of the orcs, a special group, further complicated the situation.
Half-orcs are the offspring of orcs and humans. However, due to racial differences and social prejudice, half-orcs have always been in an awkward position. Most orcs reject them, and humans also discriminate against them. Over time, the number of half-orcs has gradually increased, but they have never been truly accepted or recognized.
Now, these orcs had become part of the attackers, undoubtedly adding further uncertainty to the already tense situation. The Dragon Emperor fell into deep thought, realizing that he must handle this matter with caution to avoid further conflict. At the same time, he understood that resolving the orc issue was urgent. Only by granting them the status and respect they deserved could harmonious coexistence among all races be achieved.
"I wonder how many half-orcs there are in the Orc Tribe now? If they are all controlled by foreign invaders, the situation will become very serious." The Dragon Emperor muttered to himself.
Then he ordered: "Long An, send someone to check how many orcs there are in the orc territory and what their situation is like."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Long An replied respectfully, turned and left, sending someone to check on the orcs.

Qin Jinghuai and his group have arrived at the orc border town through the teleportation array.
Coming out of the teleportation array, Qin Jinghuai and his group felt a sense of desolation and severity in the border town. A month ago, this place was very prosperous and bustling, with various caravans coming and going.
"Your Highness, depending on the situation, we should rest in the border town for two days first. Find out the situation. It will take at least fifteen days to get to Yuecheng from here, and we also need to prepare some supplies." Lin Cheng said to Qin Jinghuai.
Qin Jinghuai thought about it, nodded, and agreed, "I'll follow General Lin's arrangements."
They found an inn to stay in the orc border town.
Lin Cheng took people to buy supplies for the next period of time, and Lu Sixi took people to inquire about the situation.
From the border town, they needed to travel a long way to reach the human border town of Yuecheng. According to the plan, they would arrive in Yuecheng in fifteen days. However, at this moment, a worrying piece of news arrived.
"Your Highness, we've learned that a group of very powerful bandits appeared in the distance from the human Yue City to the orc border town. Many caravans were robbed and killed. Within half a month, thirteen caravans were robbed and killed, and only two large caravans had two survivors. It is said that they were once eighth-level psychics." Lu Sixi said with a frown.
This news made everyone feel uneasy. After all, the area they were going to cross had complex terrain and was often infested with bandits, posing a threat to passersby.
"Is there any more information about this group of bandits?" Qin Jinghuai asked.
Lu Siqi shook his head and said solemnly, "It's still unclear. We only know that they acted swiftly and brutally, but we don't know how many there were. According to the two survivors, facing those bandits, their psychic energy was depleted very quickly, and the recovery rate was extremely slow. Even taking soul-restoring pills couldn't solve the problem, and they eventually exploded and died. The two psychics who survived have become crippled, with all their psychic energy gone."
Hearing this, Qin Jinghuai frowned and fell into deep thought. He muttered to himself, "Rapid consumption of spiritual energy... total loss of spiritual energy... Soul-restoring elixir... explosion and death... all of this seems to be connected."
Qin Jinghuai and Lu Siqi exchanged a glance, a flicker of shock in their eyes. Lu Siqi asked softly, "Could they really be foreign invaders?" Qin Jinghuai nodded and replied gravely, "Very likely. Only they would use such bizarre methods to weaken our strength. What are the origins of these bandits?"
The two men fell silent, their hearts filled with confusion and worry. This sudden news made them realize that the situation might be more serious than they had imagined. They had to quickly discover the identity and purpose of these bandits in order to formulate an effective response strategy.
