Chapter 534 - 533: First Time Picking Up So Many Free Things (Second Update)
Ginsengfruit disdainfully threw away the pearl in his hand. Now he was a knowledgeable person who looked down on such third-rate things.
Fang Yu watched as Ginsengfruit tossed the pearl away, feeling heartbroken. If it weren’t for the inappropriate setting, he would have wanted to rush over, pick up the pearl, and carefully clean it.
Having seen the things in Yun Ran’s treasure trove, Xin Fu saw Ginsengfruit’s actions with no surprise at all.
Simply put, if something wasn’t top-tier, Ginsengfruit, who grew up in wealth and abundance and didn’t lack resources, wouldn’t want it.
Just because Ginsengfruit discarded something didn’t mean others didn’t want it; they all started attacking the obviously enchanted vines.
Soon, everyone held several pearls in their hands, and even the pearl discarded by Ginsengfruit was picked up by Fang Yu.
They carefully stored these pearls away now.
Even the snake gall from the venomous snakes they had killed was taken by them; it was the first time they had picked up so many things for free.
"Let’s find a place to rest for a while."
For Yun Ran, this level of fighting might not be too exhausting, but it was significantly taxing for the people of Sihui Sect.
Little Paperman immediately flew ahead to find a slightly flatter place.
Ginsengfruit hurriedly opened one of the luggage cases and took out a simple tent from inside.
They had to improve the harsh conditions so the Host could rest well.
Xin Fu originally wanted to help, but Ginsengfruit quickly set up the tent and even took out a portable stove to boil hot water for Yun Ran.
Ginsengfruit wouldn’t let an ’outsider’ take away his position as the ’eldest servant’.
He hurriedly waved Xin Fu away: "Just take care of the people from Sihui Sect; I’ll handle Master!"
Xin Fu didn’t intend to compete for favor with Ginsengfruit; he just felt it was natural to work harder as Yun Ran’s follower.
Unexpectedly, Ginsengfruit was wary of him, eager to kick him away.
In such seemingly eerie places, with a faintly decaying damp smell in the air, Yun Ran leisurely drank the milky oatmeal porridge.
"Host, this place is indeed strange, and this is just the outskirts. There are already vines enchanted with evil; deeper within must be even more eerie."
Saying this, Ginsengfruit glanced at the resting members of Sihui Sect nearby.
With some disdain, he said, "Bringing them along is such a hassle!"
Clearly, the previous incidents with Sihui Sect had displeased Ginsengfruit, who thought their combat capability was truly terrible and would drag them down.
Yun Ran poked Ginsengfruit on the head: "Do you think everyone in this world is like me, a genius? Most of the people in the world are ordinary.
As someone from the Xuan Sect, do you know what’s most taboo? It’s setting your eyes too high, and eventually, being schemed against until there’s nothing left of you."
Ginsengfruit rubbed his head, being a wise life from the High-class World, not quite understanding the ways of people, only knowing his own preferences.
Fortunately, Ginsengfruit would listen to Yun Ran: "I got it, Host, I will stop looking down on them from now on~"
"I’m going to rest for a bit; keep a good watch!"
Ginsengfruit didn’t need rest; with him and Little Paperman watching, Yun Ran felt more at ease.
She never expected the people from Sihui Sect to shoulder the responsibility of patrolling.
Du Jun watched as Yun Ran entered the tent to rest, his mind finally relaxing a bit.
If he hadn’t experienced it himself, he wouldn’t believe he’d be so tense because of watching a little girl’s expression.
"Uncle, you should rest for a bit too; I’ll keep watch!"
Fang Yu cautiously approached, speaking quietly to Du Jun, afraid his loud voice might disturb Yun Ran’s rest nearby.
Du Jun waved it off, over the years, they had taken turns watching the Array on the outskirts of Death Mountain, long accustomed to this style of vigilant guarding.
"You guys go rest; I’ll keep watch."
Fang Yu was about to say something but, seeing Du Jun’s wary demeanor, clearly in better condition than they were, he changed his words: "Alright, I’ll come to replace you after I rest a bit."
Xin Fu also sat by the fire, not just picking up nearby branches; who knew in such places whether these branches were safe.
They burned the charcoal they brought, set it in an iron basin, without worrying about causing a fire hazard.
Xin Fu looked casual, as if merely warming by the fire, roasting a few potatoes as well, yet at the level of upgrade, his entire perception was heightened to the extreme.
As soon as there was any movement around, he could detect it instantly.
The potatoes were soon roasted, Xin Fu handed two to Du Jun, and the two munched casually, occasionally glancing around.
But, whether it was because of the fight they had before, perhaps intimidating any potential spirits nearby.
Though the sky was already bright, the surroundings remained silent as if they truly had entered a clean forest where nothing existed.
Yun Ran rested for several hours, her body fully restored to peak condition.
Xin Fu and Du Jun saw daylight break, swapped with Fang Yu and others, and went for a brief rest.
Ginsengfruit had prepared breakfast early for Yun Ran, and by the time she finished it, daylight was fully arrived.
Yun Ran glanced at the time; it was already past nine in the morning, yet where they were, due to the dense trees, still felt gloomy.
"Host, the devices we brought are unusable now."
Even at the outskirts, the compass and related electronic devices were all interfered with and inoperable.
Yun Ran took out the map, roughly estimated their location.
"We’re not far from where the first person is located; let’s go check that area first!"
Others hurriedly ate breakfast, packed their things, and prepared to move forward.
Perhaps it was due to the daytime; sunlight sparsely fell in, and those unclean things remained quiet, not attempting to disrupt.
As they proceeded, the Little Paperman scouting ahead suddenly halted and flew back.
"Master, the atmosphere ahead is somewhat off; there should be a swamp~"
Yun Ran nodded and looked at Little Paperman with instructions: "I’ll leave it to you guys!"
Little Paperman immediately flew to the side, punched a tree limb, and dragged the branch to investigate the swamp’s depth and width.
Fang Yu watched as Ginsengfruit tossed the pearl away, feeling heartbroken. If it weren’t for the inappropriate setting, he would have wanted to rush over, pick up the pearl, and carefully clean it.
