Chapter 551: Chapter 550: She Really Is Too Clever
Seeing the distance was just right, Yun Ran patted the Little Paperman’s head: "That’s enough, stop!"
She wasn’t worried about those old monsters not being able to find her, she just didn’t want to get too close to the Deviant Plants recorded by Qingfeng Temple.
When Yun Ran first discovered the Deviant Plants, she thought she would bear all consequences to kill them herself.
But now, she found a scapegoat, leading those old monsters there to kill the plant for her.
By then, she could hide beautifully, ha ha ha, she’s really smart.
On Ginsengfruit’s side, Yun Ran severed their empathy, so he couldn’t know what was happening on Yun Ran’s side.
Even though he knew Yun Ran would be fine, his face was still worried, not typical for his age.
Xin Fu patted Ginsengfruit’s shoulder: "The temple master is so powerful, nothing will happen."
Ginsengfruit pressed his lips: "I know, but..."
The Little Paperman exploring ahead had already flown back: "Boss, found the second person, right at the front!"
Ginsengfruit, who was just worried, immediately perked up.
"Let’s go, have a look!"
No matter the concern for the host, right now the task is more important, the host entrusted the task to him, so he is bound to complete it well.
As the group approached the small river where the second person was, Ginsengfruit took a look around, instantly seeing through the false disguise here.
The Sihui Sect people had become more cautious, as long as Ginsengfruit didn’t speak, they wouldn’t move forward at all.
For their perceptiveness, which he originally had opinions on, Ginsengfruit was now somewhat satisfied with them.
"Mo Zhi, go and check!"
Du Jun glanced obscurely at Ginsengfruit, then looked at Mo Zhi who immediately moved after hearing Ginsengfruit’s words.
He couldn’t help but elevate Ginsengfruit’s status, even that ghost lord could be easily commanded.
Seems like calling him Little Ginseng is inappropriate; he’s clearly part of the big shots’ backup group.
Mo Zhi approached the small river and just as she flew overhead, suddenly water columns emerged from the water, directly rushing towards Mo Zhi.
"Indeed, something is in the water!"
Xin Fu had already drawn the sword from his waist, while the Little Paperman surrounded the Sihui Sect people.
They must ensure these guys won’t be dragged away by unknown things right under their noses.
Mo Zhi looked disdainfully at the water columns coming towards her; just because she’s cowardly in front of the master and Dragon Spirit doesn’t mean she’s cowardly in front of other small fries.
"Looking for death!"
As the water columns were about to approach Mo Zhi, an invisible barrier directly blocked them.
The "sizzle" sound was heard immediately, even a bit of white smoke rose.
The Sihui Sect people gasped in shock; these water columns carried such strong corrosion.
If they hadn’t been cautious earlier and walked ahead, their whole bodies would have been burnt by this water, just thinking about it was painful.
"Trivial tricks!"
Mo Zhi swung her whip, piercing through the barrier, through the water columns, directly into the water, easily pulling out the thing causing trouble underneath.
A giant fish demon was tossed limply onto the ground.
Ginsengfruit immediately stepped forward in perfect harmony, stomping heavily onto the fish demon.
Soon, smoke rose from Ginsengfruit’s shoes, accompanied by the smell of burning.
The fish demon struggled desperately, but Ginsengfruit’s foot was like a hardened nail, pinning it firmly to the ground, no matter how it moved, it couldn’t escape.
"Cut off its tail!"
Xin Fu immediately stepped forward with his sword, gathering strength before swinging it; this fish demon had some Dao progress, ordinary methods wouldn’t work.
The fish demon obviously sensed danger, its eyes fixed on Xin Fu.
It then used even more force to struggle, even wanting to swallow Ginsengfruit as an obstacle.
"Splash..."
Seeing it couldn’t break free no matter what, the fish demon could only use a self-harming method.
Forcibly withdrew the liquid from its body, then sprayed it towards Ginsengfruit and Xin Fu.
This liquid’s corrosiveness was hundreds of times stronger than the previous water columns, even a drop was enough to corrode anything.
Mo Zhi hovering mid-air saw the liquid with an acidic stench sprayed by the fish demon, and frowned.
She then swung her whip, changing the direction of the liquid spray.
"Daring to cause trouble under my nose is truly courting death!"
Mo Zhi swung her whip again, directly ripping apart the fish demon’s fins and mouth.
"Ah!"
A heartrending scream erupted from the fish demon’s mouth.
The Sihui Sect people standing safely outside the range, hearing the child-like voice, felt tingling in their scalps.
Compared to the current demons they encountered, their past training in predetermined locations was just like playing house.
Fang Yu quietly said to his uncle Du Jun beside him: "Uncle, I now feel we’re really inexperienced..."
Du Jun nodded repeatedly: "Indeed, when we were guarding the outskirts before, the most we encountered were some larger animals.
But as long as we didn’t attack them, those animals mostly wouldn’t step out of the outer range..."
Thinking back now, those animals going outside were often ones without spiritual wisdom, lost.
Those truly with spiritual wisdom, or those skilled animals or evil beings that had become spirits, each was cunning, wouldn’t easily step out of their territory.
Just like this fish demon now, it clearly dominates this area.
Other creatures with spiritual wisdom wouldn’t come near; one mishap and they’d be devoured.
Only by guarding one’s own turf is safest.
Seeing the fish demon beaten miserably, Ginsengfruit reached out for Xin Fu to hand him a dagger, then cut open the fish demon’s belly.
He then retrieved a jade-white Demon Core from inside the fish demon by hand.
Fish demon’s blood and the liquid on its body slowly flowed onto the ground.
The sparse grass that had originally grown turned charcoal-colored upon contact with the liquid.
Even the surrounding land changed color at the same time, turning into a dead wasteland.
The fish demon wasn’t dead yet; while Ginsengfruit was checking the Demon Core, it flailed its body, turning direction, and then bit Ginsengfruit’s leg.
