The relationship had finally completely thawed, and both Ye Tiancheng and the little fox were in very good spirits, but they hadn't forgotten their current situation.
The little fox thought that Ye Tiancheng had said before that to break through the current predicament and leave this godforsaken place, he might still need her help. However, the little fox couldn't quite understand how, in this place, she couldn't use her abilities, and was also a child, how could she possibly help Ye Tiancheng?
Therefore, the little fox wanted to clarify Ye Tiancheng's thoughts. Since he needed to rely on her abilities, perhaps she really did have some ability that could still be utilized in the current situation and wouldn't be affected by this godforsaken place, she just didn't know it.
If that were the case, since it was her own ability, perhaps she herself could understand it better. Maybe Ye Tiancheng couldn't think of it immediately, but as long as Ye Tiancheng explained it to her, perhaps she could realize it at once.
"Right, Brother Ye, didn't you say before that if we want to leave here, we might need my help? That there's something I can do?"
"Can you tell me? Exactly what is it that I can help with? Brother Ye, if you can't think of it right away, perhaps if you tell me, I'll know?"
"After all, according to what you said, Brother Ye, it should be about borrowing some of my abilities. I definitely know my own abilities better than you do, Brother Ye. Even if there's an ability I haven't noticed yet, as long as Brother Ye mentions it, perhaps I can realize it immediately and come up with a solution?"
After hearing what the little fox said, Ye Tiancheng also reacted. That's right, how could he have forgotten? How could anyone understand him better than the little fox herself?
He wanted to borrow the little fox's abilities. As long as he told the little fox, perhaps the little fox could understand the principle and use her abilities to achieve their desired goal.
"Yes, I didn't even think of that. It's my fault for overthinking. How could I forget such a simple method? I really complicated a simple matter."
Ye Tiancheng slapped his head in realization. It seemed that even after leaving here, in the future, when encountering anything, he might have to ask for the little fox's opinions. Even if he figured it out himself, many things he thought of might not be correct.
People like them, who had experienced many things, tended to think deeply about matters. Sometimes they would turn simple things into complex ones, causing them to take many detours before realizing they were stuck in a rut, leading themselves astray.
But it was different for the little fox. Although the little fox was smart, she was still young and didn't have so many twists and turns in her mind. There were many things that Ye Tiancheng felt he couldn't figure out, but perhaps the little fox could see them at once.
"As expected, I still have to rely on you, little fox. Your way of thinking is very good, keep it up. There might be many times in the future when I'll need to rely on you!" Ye Tiancheng looked at the little fox with great joy, his mood greatly lifted.
The little fox was almost floating with Ye Tiancheng's affirmation, but fortunately, after floating for a while, she was still the grounded little fox. "As long as I can help Brother Ye, that's already very good."
Ye Tiancheng smiled, then organized his thoughts and explained his deductions to the little fox one by one, but he mainly focused on how he thought the little fox could help, and didn't explain other parts too clearly.
"That's roughly how it is. As for other ideas, I don't want to interfere with your thinking, little fox, because if you are guided by me, you might be influenced by me and get sidetracked by my thinking, unable to find the true direction. So, after hearing this, little fox, what are your thoughts?"
The little fox didn't answer in a hurry, but carefully thought it over in her heart before asking Ye Tiancheng, "So, Brother Ye, you want to use my sensitivity to supernatural events to break through this predicament and find Brother Fatty and the real way out?"
Ye Tiancheng nodded affirmatively. "That's right. Because I feel that in this place, our abilities cannot be used, but your sensitivity to these kinds of things should be something you possess naturally, rather than some acquired ability."
"An ability possessed in this way should have been preserved, it's just that I can't think of how to use it for a moment, but this ability is definitely very useful at present."
"Look, your senses towards Fatty have always been stronger than mine, and when you dream of Fatty, you get clearer information more easily than I do, don't you? I believe that a large part of this should be related to your ability. If we can utilize it, we will definitely be able to find Fatty and find a way out!"
The little fox pondered for a moment. If it were put that way, she couldn't think of how to actively use this ability.
But she knew that she did have such an ability. It wasn't some unknown ability of hers, but one she had used many times and was very familiar with.
The little fox thought for a long time and slowly said to Ye Tiancheng, "Brother Ye, I roughly understand what you're saying. Actually, I also know I have this ability, but I've never actively used it, so I can't think of how to actively utilize it right away."
"Usually, when I use this ability, I rely on intuition. This is my innate ability... relying on intuition? Innate...?"
As the little fox spoke, she suddenly paused, muttering repeatedly, as if she had thought of something, a spark of inspiration flashed, and the little fox immediately grasped it. She understood. And as the little fox was murmuring those words, almost at the same time, even Ye Tiancheng reacted instantly.
"Relying on intuition?!" The two suddenly met eyes, both thinking of the same thing. Ye Tiancheng was so happy he almost burst into laughter. Indeed, pooling wisdom and listening to the little fox's opinions was the most correct choice. Who else would understand her better than the little fox herself?
"So that's how it is... Right! This is your innate ability, and using it is simply instinctual, completely without deliberate effort. It's a feeling, an intuition!"
The little fox also thought of it, but she was still a little confused, so she asked, "But, Brother Ye, how can I use this feeling?"
Ye Tiancheng also thought for a moment. Knowing what it was was one thing, but how to use it still required him to think carefully. "Let me think, I think I might know, but we still need to try a little. How about this, little fox, do you trust me?"
The little fox immediately nodded firmly. "Of course I trust you, Brother Ye. I've always trusted you. What do you need me to do?"
"It's not that you need to do anything dangerous. When doing this, I will always be by your side, responsible for protecting your safety. You just need to use your intuition and do as I say."
Hearing Ye Tiancheng say this, the little fox agreed. "Okay, Brother Ye, I understand. Then tell me specifically, I can do it."
Ye Tiancheng pondered for a while and then began to explain to the little fox, analyzing it and saying, "Little fox, look, intuition, in the final analysis, is a kind of perception. It is your perception, an instinctive perception. So I don't need you to do many things, you just need to perceive."
"Later, I will carry you on my back, and you will stay on my back, close your eyes, or cover your eyes. It doesn't matter if you are thinking about Fatty or the way out. When you are thinking about these things, feel where you should go, and then tell me your feelings."
"After that, I will walk in that direction based on the feelings you describe. And if you feel that the direction I'm going is slightly off from what you perceive, you must also tell me immediately so I can adjust and return to the correct direction. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
Ye Tiancheng had explained it very clearly to the little fox. The little fox was smart and could understand it immediately. She hadn't expected Ye Tiancheng to have such great trust in her abilities.
She didn't want to let down this trust, so even though her own trust in her abilities was not as firm as Ye Tiancheng's, the little fox still gritted her teeth and agreed.
"I understand everything, I can do it, Brother Ye. Please cover my eyes. I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself from opening my eyes, and my attention won't be focused enough when I'm perceiving."
This was something that heavily tested the trust between them, but the two who had just reconciled could completely achieve this. Ye Tiancheng was also very grateful for the little fox's trust in him.
"Don't rush. We've been walking for quite a while. When we act later, we don't know how much time it will take," Ye Tiancheng said to the little fox, taking out the food they had packed with leaves. "Let's eat more first and fill our stomachs, so we don't get hungry on the way and lose strength. It's really uncomfortable to be hungry in this place."
It had been like this every time before. Once hungry, the feeling of hunger could almost drive a person crazy, so it was really necessary to be prepared for any eventuality.
The little fox touched her stomach. Although she didn't feel very hungry yet, she understood that Ye Tiancheng's concern was reasonable. She had also experienced that hunger. She didn't know what she would face next, so it was better to be well-prepared and leave nothing to chance.
Thus, Ye Tiancheng and the little fox casually found a tree and sat down. They shared the fried fish and fried shrimp they had brought, ate until they were completely full, and then began to prepare.
To cover the little fox's eyes, they needed a strip of cloth. Ye Tiancheng tore off a piece from his clothes to cover the little fox's eyes. Anyway, he had been injured and had his wounds bandaged before, so his clothes were already tattered, and he didn't mind them getting even more tattered.
After covering the little fox's eyes, Ye Tiancheng and the little fox confirmed again. They were sure that the little fox could truly see nothing. Only then did Ye Tiancheng squat in front of the little fox and guide her to wrap her arms around his neck, and then he carried her on his back.
