The Little Paperman was completely dumbfounded by the situation, standing still as the Flower Bud seized the opportunity to dash away.
In the blink of an eye, it disappeared, making the Little Paperman furious and chase after it.
Fortunately, the Little Paperman was not slow, following the direction where the Flower Bud disappeared, and soon spotted the rapidly running Flower Bud.
"Dare to mess with me, you’re doomed!"
If it weren’t for the fact that the master ordered it to capture the Flower Bud, the Little Paperman would have slapped it into flower mush by now!
Just as the Little Paperman’s hand caught hold of the Flower Bud, it suddenly opened, revealing a row of teeth in the flower center, fiercely biting the Little Paperman’s hand.
If the Little Paperman hadn’t been refined by Heavenly Thunder, it would indeed be suffering now.
"Still dare to bite me? Watch me pull out your teeth!"
The Little Paperman quickly pulled out all of the Flower Bud’s teeth, and the previously lively Flower Bud withered considerably.
"Master, I caught it back!"
Yun Ran looked at the Flower Bud held by the Little Paperman, looking just like limp noodles, with a puzzled expression.
The Little Paperman immediately complained: "Master, this guy is really sly, it directly broke its roots to escape and even grew teeth to bite me. I pulled all its teeth out!"
Saying this, the Little Paperman opened its hand to reveal the teeth it had pulled out earlier.
Meanwhile, it also extended its hand, which clearly had no teeth marks on it but still had a grievance look.
Yun Ran reached out and patted the Little Paperman’s head as comfort.
"Alright, when we go back, I’ll give you something delicious to eat."
The Little Paperman was immediately happy, the master was so nice.
Yun Ran took over the half-wilted Flower Bud and inspected it carefully, hmm, unrecognized.
However, being able to devour souls, it was obviously not a simple thing, and even had teeth, tsk tsk tsk.
Indeed, in such a self-contained ecosystem like Death Mountain, there truly are all sorts of strange things.
Yun Ran took out a talisman, directly sticking it onto the Flower Bud, and then put it into another transparent bag.
Glancing around, the area around the small canyon was basically cleared up.
Yun Ran then said, "Let’s go!"
Just after coming out, they saw a pile of pitch-black things around the circle drawn by Ginsengfruit.
"Careful!"
Seeing Yun Ran and Xin Fu coming out, Du Jun had no time to be happy before seeing those lurking rats rushing towards Yun Ran and them.
More than a dozen huge rats rushed at Yun Ran, perhaps seeing him as easier prey than the people within the protective circle.
As the rats charged forward, their dark red eyes locked onto Yun Ran, causing a chilling sensation.
Just as Xin Fu was about to draw his sword, the rats charging towards them seemed to hit an invisible barrier and were bounced back.
Worse, they weren’t intact when flung away.
In their trajectory, a blood mist arose, transforming the rats into countless fragments, scattering nearby.
And the flowers and plants that got stained with the rat’s blood and flesh immediately wilted.
Du Jun awkwardly retracted his foot, he had reflexively wanted to rush out to help when he shouted ’careful’.
Who would have known, just after he spoke, these seemingly creepy rats were so effortlessly dealt with.
Du Jun surreptitiously glanced at Ginsengfruit, who sat beside, steady as a veteran.
Once more realizing that following along on this journey was purely for gaining experience, fighting wasn’t within their realm.
This one-sided slaughter shocked the remaining hidden rats in the grass, scaring them into staying hidden.
Mo Zhi retracted the spider silk in her hand, looking disdainfully at the remnants of the rats on the ground.
"What dare to act out in front of the great master!"
Turning around, Mo Zhi instantly switched from that ant-looking demeanor to a slightly flattering look towards Yun Ran.
"Master, be careful of the ground, these filthy rats are poisonous, don’t let them stain the shoes."
Mo Zhi’s figure flickered, earlier Du Jun and the others hadn’t noticed Mo Zhi.
Now, upon hearing Mo Zhi’s voice, they saw a woman in ancient dress floating beside Yun Ran, oh, a female ghost.
When he tried to take a closer look, it was as if something stung his eyes, forcing him to shut his eyes tightly.
Being someone from the Xuan Sect, Du Jun clearly knew what this situation meant.
Ginsengfruit looked at the rats attacking Yun Ran, then at those electrocuted by the protection circle.
Silently musing: Bringing trouble upon oneself must not live, attacking them would at least leave a complete corpse, but attacking his host would result in nothing left of their bodies, serves them right!
"Little Ginseng, that female ghost, oh no, the ghost lord, what’s her background?"
Ginsengfruit was a bit annoyed hearing the cautious inquiry from Du Jun, especially because of the ’Little Ginseng’ nickname.
He wasn’t really a child, not a fan of such nicknames.
"She’s the Ghost General, insisting on sticking around my master, and her temper is bad, you’d better not provoke her!"
Mo Zhi is only humble in front of those stronger than her, other times, she has the temper of a dog!
"What! Ghost... Ghost General!!!"
Du Jun was truly shocked, his voice involuntarily raised.
This drew everyone’s attention, including Mo Zhi’s.
Just now fawningly speaking to Yun Ran, Mo Zhi.
Turned her head, unintentionally her gaze grew sharper.
Ginsengfruit vaguely felt this scene was familiar but couldn’t recall immediately.
Frightened by Mo Zhi’s gaze, Du Jun quickly lowered his head.
Muttering, "Can’t see me, can’t see me..."
Yun Ran casually said to scare people Mo Zhi: "Enough, if you keep staring, they might have nightmares tonight!"
Mo Zhi’s cultivation level was far above these Sihui Sect people, unintentionally it might harm them.
Ginsengfruit seeing Yun Ran’s expression, suddenly recalled whom Mo Zhi reminded him of, wasn’t it the very image of the host!
Unexpectedly, since when did Mo Zhi start imitating the host’s expressions.
Mo Zhi immediately switched to a gentle mode, cooing softly: "Master, understood~"
Seeing Mo Zhi’s pretentious manner, Ginsengfruit felt goosebumps rising, never saw Mo Zhi acting so duplicitous before.
Oh, perhaps since after the cultivation level-up on the Snow Mountain, Mo Zhi started this duplicitous trend.
