The Ginsengfruit kept feeling that Mo Zhi had a problem and planned to ask the Host properly later about what this guy was up to!
Xin Fu squatted down and started examining the rats on the ground that had been electrocuted by the Heavenly Thunder, first trying to understand the reason for their mutation.
With such a large size and toxic flesh, if these rats attacked them in droves, it would really be troublesome.
Du Jun came over to inspect too. Luckily, the dead rats weren’t as creepy.
The Ginsengfruit put away the Protection Circle and walked over to Yun Ran’s side.
Before he could say anything to the Host, the Little Paperman rushed over to Ginsengfruit’s side.
The second wave of tattling began.
"Boss, a flower bud bit me just now, and it ran away really fast..."
As he spoke, the Little Paperman once again stretched out the hand that was bitten by the flower bud. Not to mention a wound, there wasn’t even a trace on it.
Who knew how the Little Paperman could so shamelessly report and then claim calmness.
But as soon as the Ginsengfruit heard it, he exploded: "What flower bud has such nerve to dare bite you!"
He seemed ready to tear that flower bud to pieces if it were right in front of him.
Seeing his boss stand by him, the Little Paperman was elated.
"Boss, I’ve already avenged myself; I pulled out all its teeth!"
"Good job!"
The Little Paperman quickly reached out another hand, showing Ginsengfruit the teeth he had pulled from the flower bud’s mouth.
"Boss, I’ll give you one tooth~"
Ginsengfruit: ...
Such ’spoils of war’ really didn’t need to be shared with him, but seeing his little brother so ’generous,’ he decided to accept it.
"Alright then, I’ll take one!"
As Ginsengfruit and the Little Paperman divided up the flower bud’s teeth, Xin Fu and the people from Sihui Sect examined the electrocuted rats.
Mo Zhi, defined by Ginsengfruit as a schemer, was closely following Yun Ran, waving the spider silk in her hand.
"Master, what are you looking at?"
Yun Ran looked around but didn’t see anything special.
"I’m searching for what made these rats mutate; they weren’t born this big."
Rats growing to the size of rabbits with such strong poison on them, there must be something nearby causing this mutation.
"Master, let me look instead; I can fly~"
Yun Ran glanced at the eager Mo Zhi. Ginsengfruit wasn’t human and probably didn’t understand Mo Zhi’s intentions.
But Yun Ran clearly knew that Mo Zhi was trying to be helpful.
She had previously absorbed enough yin energy over by the Snow Mountain and reached the peak of the Ghost General stage.
If nothing went wrong, Mo Zhi would soon upgrade again.
Normally, ghost generals would stay at this stage for hundreds of years to maintain their realm and wouldn’t dare upgrade easily.
However, Mo Zhi had Merit Golden Light that Yun Ran had distributed earlier, so she didn’t need to worry about facing insurmountable trials during her upgrade.
Plus, Yun Ran practiced Thunder Element magic, so as long as she was willing to help, Mo Zhi’s upgrade was practically assured.
Everything Mo Zhi was doing now was paying favors.
Yun Ran wasn’t afraid of others asking things of her; this give-and-take could make relationships last.
"Alright, you go ahead."
Mo Zhi happily flew out immediately.
The rats hiding in the grass saw Mo Zhi from afar, got so scared that they hid in underground holes, trembling with their forelimbs covering their heads.
Woo woo woo, these humans are brutal, nothing like what the ancestors said! How are humans delicious?!
From now on, they must warn their descendants to stay far away from humans in the future, it’s too dangerous.
Mo Zhi wasn’t interested in killing those rats that had hidden underground; her spider silk had their foul blood on it.
Following the guidance of the silk, she soon discovered something with the same aura as those foul rats.
It wasn’t far from this little canyon entrance, just a few kilometers away.
Mo Zhi looked at the wild fruits that fell to the ground beside her, along with the soil emanating the same aura.
She picked up some wild fruits and grabbed a handful of soil before flying back.
She saw Yun Ran from afar, already smiling, and delivered the items as if offering treasures to Yun Ran’s feet.
"Master, these wild fruits and soil share the same aura as those foul rats. Have a look."
Yun Ran put on specially-made gloves; she wasn’t afraid of the toxins, but what if they harmed her skin? Especially if the stains were hard to remove, that would be unsightly.
She brutally crushed the wild fruits, but the imagined outpouring of juice didn’t happen; there was only shriveled, soft pulp.
Although it didn’t look good, the fruit emitted a strange fragrance.
The Ginsengfruit’s keen nose caught this scent, and he snapped out of the angry emotions he shared with the Little Paperman through Empathy.
He turned his head: "What is that, it smells so good?"
The Ginsengfruit eyed the crushed wild fruit in Yun Ran’s hand with curiosity.
In the end, he couldn’t resist swallowing: "It smells really (╯▽╰) good~~"
Yun Ran noticed Ginsengfruit drooling and handed him another whole fruit.
The Ginsengfruit chuckled, split the fruit open, and tossed it right into his mouth.
His speed was so fast that when Du Jun and the others noticed, he was already munching away.
As he ate, he said, "It’s so tasty, smells amazing."
Du Jun had previously thought of Ginsengfruit as just a talented kid.
But now, he could only say, this is the true warrior, daring to eat anything from Death Mountain without fear of being poisoned.
"Temple Master Yun, this thing..."
Du Jun wanted to express that while apprentices should be pampered by their masters, they shouldn’t be spoiled excessively.
Yun Ran clearly understood what Du Jun wanted to say and interrupted him directly.
"He’s immune to all poisons!"
With Ginsengfruit’s body, normally, it was very difficult to destroy it.
And even if it were destroyed, she could just remake it later.
In certain situations, Ginsengfruit could even serve as an experiment subject; that way, his inherent ’talent’ wouldn’t go to waste.
Just after Ginsengfruit swallowed the fruit, a second later, his eyes turned red, just like a rabbit’s.
Their eyes resembled those of the rats they had previously encountered.
Du Jun’s eyes widened, pointing at Ginsengfruit’s eyes, and signaled Yun Ran to look quickly.
"They’re changing color, the eyes are changing color!"
