She took out the mussel and asked, "Since you're so good at digging, do you have any way to get to the first peak directly from the underground?"
The mussel did not answer her but opened its shell and a thumb-sized baby came out from the shell. The baby stared at the fruit in Gu Xijiu's hand and drooled, "Qifeng fruit! I want to eat the Qifeng fruit! "
Gu Xijiu's heart skipped a beat and she looked at the green fruit in her hand.
She had heard of the Qifeng fruit before. It was a rare fruit. Although it did not taste good, eating one fruit was equivalent to practicing a year's worth of wind-based spiritual power. It was a treasure that all wind-based spiritual power practitioners yearned for.
She did not expect that the fruit in her hand was this.
It seemed like the fruit that Di Fuyi had stuffed into her storage bag was not ordinary …
The baby in the mussel was still drooling. Gu Xijiu repeated her words and threw the fruit in her hand, "If you can do it, this fruit is yours."
The baby struggled for a while and finally answered, "Give me the fruit and I'll try."
Gu Xijiu was not stingy and threw the fruit to it. The baby lied on the fruit and sucked it clean like a whale sucking a river. Not even the core was left.
Then, it grew bigger and opened its shell, "Come in, I'll try to bring you out."
Gu Xijiu and Si Chen jumped in and the mussel closed its shell.
The mussel was as big as a small house, but the space inside the shell could only accommodate two people. Gu Xijiu and Si Chen were sitting next to each other inside the shell. Even so, Gu Xijiu almost stepped on the little doll inside the shell. The little doll anxiously shouted, "Come closer, come closer, it's too crowded, I can't do my best."
Si Chen simply hugged Gu Xijiu in his arms and both of their bodies were stuck together, "How about this?"
"It's barely passable." The baby looked uncomfortable and blushed, "It'll be better if we can come closer."
Gu Xijiu was speechless. If they were any closer, she would be one with Si Chen!
The baby finally pinched a spell and began to exert its power. The inside of the shell shook as if there was a magnitude 8 earthquake. Gu Xijiu felt dizzy. Si Chen rested his chin on Gu Xijiu's shoulder, "So dizzy!"
About an hour later, the shaking finally stopped. The baby in the shell took a few rapid breaths and opened its shell slightly, as if sensing its surroundings.
"What do you think? Which peak are we on now? "Gu Xijiu asked.
The baby panted a few more times. His little hand turned into a tentacle and extended out of the shell. After a while, he retracted it and replied excitedly, "We've moved half a mile! Let me rest for a while, then I'll work harder … "
Gu Xijiu was speechless.
She knew that this guy was unreliable!
It had traveled half a mile in an hour and was still so tired. If they were to rely on it to get out of the Dark Forest, how long would it take?!
She knocked on the clamshell and said decisively, "I want to go out and explore by myself!"
Si Chen slightly shook his head behind her. They could not take any shortcuts in such a place, and he could not even help her openly. The little girl actually wanted to rely on the mussel to get out, so she would definitely hit a wall …
Both of them came out from the shell. Gu Xijiu looked around and finally understood why the mussel was moving so slowly.
It was clearly opening a path underground temporarily!
