The baby was swept up by the Grand Yin Wind and indeed couldn't use Earth Escape. White frost formed on his body as Li Xuan rushed forward and grabbed his arm.
The baby's body was cold as he closed his eyes and remained motionless. Even his eyebrows were covered in frost as though he had been frozen.
"There's no heartbeat. Don't tell me he's frozen to death?" Li Xuan couldn't help but stare at the baby when he didn't sense the baby's heartbeat.
Although this was a dimensional creature, it looked too much like a human baby. Furthermore, he was only teasing the three of them and didn't harm them. Li Xuan didn't really plan on killing him.
"He won't die so easily, right?" Zhou Wen touched the baby's neck and indeed, there was no pulse.
"Are the two of you stupid? If he's really a creature like a ginseng baby, he's a plant to begin with. How can he have a heartbeat? "Wang Lu rolled her eyes.
"Then take a look. Is this baby dead?" Li Xuan handed the baby to Wang Lu.
Wang Lu reached out to take it when she saw the baby suddenly open his eyes. Taking advantage of the moment they relaxed while they were doing the exchange, he suddenly broke free and landed on the ground, disappearing.
When he appeared again, he was already more than ten meters away. He was standing on a rock and making faces at the three of them.
"This baby is so cunning …" Li Xuan was about to rush over again, but he was held back by Zhou Wen.
"Forget it. Let him go." Zhou Wen really couldn't steel himself to kill such a creature. It was useless even if he was captured.
Li Xuan nodded and said with a smile, "At least Wang Lu and I gained some benefits. You didn't gain anything from this map. From the looks of it, our luck is indeed better. By the way, Wang Lu, what's the use of a ginseng baby dropping a Companion Beast? "
"I heard that ginseng baby Companion Beasts have very powerful Primordial Energy recovery abilities and also have healing-type Primordial Energy Skills. It greatly increases one's combat strength, but it's just too rare. There are quite a lot of ginseng babies in Changbai Mountain, but most of them are at the Legendary stage. Their abilities are relatively poor. Epic ginseng babies are very rare. According to my grandfather, if one has an Epic ginseng baby Companion Beast, they can basically use Primordial Energy Skills indefinitely." Wang Lu glanced at the distant baby and said, "However, the ginseng baby should have ginseng leaves on its head, but this baby doesn't. I don't think he's a ginseng baby, but a plant-type dimensional creature."
"Since Ginseng Babies are so useful, we really have to make a trip to Changbai Mountain in the future and get some Ginseng Babies," Li Xuan said.
"How can it be that easy? The dimensional zones in Changbai Mountain have dimensional creatures like Ginseng Babies that don't have any offensive abilities, but most dimensional creatures are extremely terrifying. Ignoring an Epic Ginseng Baby, it won't be easy to obtain a Legendary Ginseng Baby after entering. You might even lose your life. Many people risk their lives to enter Changbai Mountain to hunt Ginseng Babies. If they can obtain a Legendary Ginseng Baby Companion Egg, they can sell it for an astronomical price. "Wang Lu clearly didn't believe that entering Changbai Mountain was a good idea.
"Apart from Ginseng Babies, are there any better Companion Beasts with healing abilities?" Zhou Wen had always wanted a Companion Beast with healing abilities, but it was too rare.
"Healing abilities are relatively rare to begin with. Ginseng Babies are considered one of the better ones. Although there are others, they aren't easy to obtain. For example, Lingzhi Horses are even rarer than Ginseng Babies. It's even more difficult to hunt them. There are also some with natural healing abilities, such as a certain type of angel in the West District and the alchemy furnace in our East District. There are relatively few of them, so they are similarly difficult to obtain, "Wang Lu said after some thought.
The trio chatted as they walked, planning on returning to the city. When the baby saw that they were leaving, he used Earth Escape to run around them. He made faces at them and clapped his hands as though he was provoking them.
However, Zhou Wen and company didn't wish to kill him, so they ignored him and continued walking forward.
Seeing the trio ignore him, the baby was very disappointed. He was like a child who had lost his beloved toy. His face was filled with disappointment as he watched Zhou Wen and company leave.
Boom!
As Zhou Wen and company walked, they suddenly heard an explosion. They turned around and saw a hole in the ground where the baby had been standing. A monster that was half the height of a person and looked like a rat or a rabbit, with black fur that resembled silk, had bitten the baby's arm and was dragging him into the hole.
Zhou Wen frowned slightly as he activated Ghost Steps. At the same time, he slashed out a Demonic Astral Wheel and sealed the rat that was retreating into the hole.
The rat reacted very quickly. It exerted strength in its legs and dodged the Demonic Astral Wheel. It dragged the baby into the bushes in the forest.
Li Xuan's Thundergod Sword slashed over as well. A bolt of lightning descended, forcing the rat to change its escape trajectory.
Wang Lu's tiger also pounced over and chased after the rat.
The rat was abnormally fast. Zhou Wen used Ghost Steps to chase it, but it managed to dodge it a few times. It seemed to have some kind of Primordial Energy Skill that increased its speed.
However, after using it a few times, the rat's Primordial Energy seemed to be unable to keep up. It was nearly struck by the Thundergod Sword's lightning. It let go of the baby and fled into the forest.
"Watch him. I'll be back soon." Zhou Wen chased after the rat.
The rat was likely at the Epic stage, but its abilities seemed somewhat special. It wasn't a dimensional creature with relatively strong offensive abilities. Perhaps there would be special gains.
Furthermore, this wasn't a dimensional zone. Yet, it had appeared here. It was already considered a break-out creature. It was best to eliminate it.
The rat ran very quickly, but its Primordial Energy couldn't keep up. When it ran into a valley, it was killed by Zhou Wen.
There was a crystal in its body. Zhou Wen took it out and saw that it was a skill crystal.
Zhou Wen picked up the Primordial Energy Skill Crystal and was about to leave when he saw a shadow flash on the ground. The baby had appeared. His arm that had been bitten by the rat had already healed. It looked like he was fine.
The baby looked at the killed rat and then at Zhou Wen. He seemed to hesitate for a moment before running in front of Zhou Wen and pulling at the corner of his pants with his tiny hand.
"Be careful in the future. No one will save you the next time." Although Zhou Wen wouldn't be fooled by its cute appearance, this fellow looked too much like a human child. He really couldn't bring himself to kill it.
However, the baby didn't let go. He tugged at Zhou Wen's pants and babbled. He even pointed into the valley with his tiny finger.
"Don't tell me you want to scam me?" Zhou Wen naturally understood what the baby meant. It wanted him to walk into the valley.
"Yi yi …" It was unknown if the baby understood him, but he continued tugging at Zhou Wen's pants and pointed into the valley as he spoke.
After some hesitation, Zhou Wen saw that the valley wasn't a dimensional zone. Furthermore, it was surrounded by mountains on three sides. There was no path inside, so there shouldn't be too much danger. After some thought, he walked in to see what the baby was up to.
