Amidst the white smoke, a chubby and adorable baby jumped out.
The baby's fair and tender body was wearing a red cloth sack. Its head was tied into a tiny braid.
"Whose child was left here?" Li Xuan couldn't help but mutter when he saw how chubby and adorable the baby was.
However, on careful thought, he realized that something was amiss. The baby was only the size of a baby, but it could walk on its own. Furthermore, it was very agile. No baby was that impressive.
The baby widened its eyes at them as though it was very angry. It was as though it was warning them with its eyes not to approach.
"Could this be …" Wang Lu's expression changed slightly when she saw the baby.
"Wang Lu, do you know what this baby is?" Li Xuan hurriedly asked.
"I once followed my elders to the Changbai Mountain dimensional zone to hunt dimensional creatures. There, I once saw a plant-type ginseng baby. That ginseng baby was the size of a human baby. It wore a cloth sack and had a few ginseng leaves growing on its head. It looked very similar to this baby, but there were some differences," Wang Lu said as she sized up the baby.
"Ginseng baby, is that the legendary ginseng essence? Will it be very nourishing after eating it?" Li Xuan's eyes immediately lit up as he stared at the baby.
The baby seemed to sense the ill intentions in Li Xuan's eyes. The baby glared at Li Xuan before turning around and disappearing.
"No good. Retreat." Wang Lu's expression changed slightly as she immediately retreated.
Although Zhou Wen and Li Xuan didn't know what was going on, they retreated when they saw Wang Lu's solemn expression.
However, just as Li Xuan moved, he suddenly felt as though he had tripped over something. With a plop, he fell to the ground.
The baby appeared not far away and clapped as he watched Li Xuan chuckle. He looked extremely happy.
"Little thing, do you think I can't deal with you? I don't care if you are a ginseng baby or a ginseng baby. I'll teach you a lesson now." Li Xuan got up, summoned the Thundergod Sword, and slashed at the baby.
The Thundergod Sword instantly arrived in front of the baby, but the baby suddenly vanished. The lightning sword beam blasted open a huge crater in the ground, but it didn't find the baby.
Thump!
Li Xuan felt his legs being tripped by something again as he fell to the ground with a plop. When he turned his head, he saw half of the baby's body poking out from the ground. He jumped out and clapped his hands as he smiled at Li Xuan, his face filled with mockery.
How could Li Xuan tolerate this? He pounced forward to grab the doll, but no matter how fast he was, he couldn't catch up to the doll. Instead, he was teased by the doll until he fell and crawled. He looked extremely pathetic.
"Wang Lu, is this really a Ginseng Baby?" Zhou Wen asked as he sized up the baby in surprise.
"I don't know if that's the case or not, but from his appearance and abilities, he does resemble the Ginseng Baby. They both look like babies and are proficient in the Earth Escape Art. They can travel thousands of kilometers underground, and even a top-notch Epic expert would find it difficult to catch them."
Wang Lu paused for a moment before continuing, "Back when my grandfather was capturing Ginseng Baby in Changbai Mountain, he used a doll Companion Beast as bait to lure the playful Ginseng Baby over. Then, he used the Intrinsic Lock to catch him off guard before successfully capturing him."
"We don't have those things. Is there any way to capture him?" Having seen the doll's Earth Escape Art, Zhou Wen knew that it would be difficult to catch up to him even if he used Ghost Steps.
"Perhaps, but I don't know." Wang Lu shook her head helplessly. "Ginseng Baby has the nickname Little Earth Immortal. As long as he's on the ground, I'm afraid no one can catch him. I don't know if this baby is a Ginseng Baby, but from his Earth Escape Art, it's in no way inferior to the Ginseng Baby I saw. "
As the two spoke, Li Xuan was already flying into a rage from being teased. However, he couldn't touch the doll no matter what. He was like a clumsy bear that was led by the nose by the doll.
Li Xuan slashed with the Thundergod Sword in his hand and even summoned a few Companion Beasts. He even summoned the Spirit Drawing Demoness that he had just obtained, but he was still helpless against the baby.
The baby flashed left and right like a pixie that could teleport continuously. He played Li Xuan and the Companion Beasts in the palm of his hand.
"Old Zhou, Wang Lu, aren't you going to help? Quickly capture this little thing. I have to spank him." Li Xuan's face turned green from anger after being thrown a few more times.
Zhou Wen found the baby's Earth Escape Art very interesting. Furthermore, he didn't seem to have any intention of harming anyone. He was only teasing Li Xuan.
With a thought, he activated Ghost Steps. Zhou Wen's figure seemed to teleport as he appeared behind the baby. At the instant he reached out to grab the baby's arm, the baby vanished.
Wang Lu guessed where the baby would appear. She flashed over in an attempt to grab him, but she missed.
The three of them used all kinds of methods to try and catch the little doll, but they were teased in circles. In the end, they fell to the ground in exhaustion, no longer having the strength to catch him. The little doll clapped its hands and laughed at them from not far away.
Li Xuan couldn't take it anymore as he chased after him. However, Zhou Wen and Wang Lu were really out of energy as they sat on the ground, unable to get up.
"What's the level of the Ginseng Baby you saw? Is his Earth Escape Art that powerful? "Zhou Wen asked Wang Lu.
"I wonder what level it is." Wang Lu shook her head and said, "Just as my grandfather caught the Ginseng Baby, the terrifying creature in Changbai Mountain suddenly appeared and nearly killed us there. The Ginseng Baby was also taken away by the terrifying creature. I never expected the map given by Earth Lord to be such a thing. Even if we find him, we don't have the ability to take him away. "
Zhou Wen looked at the baby and frowned in silence. Indeed, he didn't have the ability to capture the baby unless he could make the baby's body leave the ground and prevent him from using Earth Escape Art.
Zhou Wen secretly held the banana fan in his hand and waited for an opportunity.
Li Xuan pounced around, but he didn't even touch the baby's cloth bag. Instead, he left huge craters in the ground.
After Li Xuan fell again, the baby clapped his hands happily. His chubby calves jumped up as he looked very excited.
"Now." At the instant the baby jumped up, the banana fan in Zhou Wen's hand fanned out a gust of cold wind, immediately sending the ginseng baby flying.
"Haha, let's see where you can run to." Li Xuan was overjoyed as he pounced forward, hoping to grab the baby that had been sent flying.
