"Zhou Wen, what did you discover?" The people in front stopped as Li Mobai looked at Zhou Wen.
"There seems to be something wrong ahead," Zhou Wen said as he pointed ahead.
Gu Shanshui stared ahead, but he didn't seem to see anything. However, he quickly summoned a Companion Beast. The Companion Beast transformed into a mirror and appeared in his left eye, making his left eye look like it was completely occupied by his pupil.
Gu Shanshui used his left eye to look ahead again before saying, "There's indeed a problem ahead. Stay here for now. I'll go take a look."
As Gu Shanshui spoke, he dived forward. Not long after, Gu Shanshui snuck back and said to Li Mobai, "Zhou is right. There's indeed something wrong ahead. There are many corpses covered in jellyfish fungi. There are just too many of them. We can't deal with them."
Butterfly said, "We also have fire-elemental Companion Beasts. We can help you clean them up."
Gu Shanshui shook his head and said, "Don't use fire-elemental Companion Beasts here. Otherwise, there might be huge trouble. Although the fire-elemental Companion Beasts we use aren't of a high level, their fire attributes are very special. It's called Corpse Fire. It's a type of Yin fire that's best at restraining the parasitic fungi on rotting corpses."
"Master Gu, is there any other solution?" Li Mobai asked.
"We can only take a detour. If we take a detour, we'll have to walk another thirty to forty kilometers. Furthermore, we might have to pass through a dimensional zone named Spirit Absorption Valley. Our speed won't be too fast. We'll have to walk for at least ten more hours than expected. Furthermore, Spirit Absorption Valley is a little dangerous. If we're unlucky, we can only retreat," Gu Shanshui said after some calculations.
"Is there no other way? Spirit Absorption Valley is too dangerous. Furthermore, we might not be able to pass. "Li Mobai had also heard of Spirit Absorption Valley's reputation and didn't wish to go there.
"If we don't take a detour, we can only clear the jellyfish fungi. However, we can only slowly deal with them from the outside. It will probably take two days to clear all the jellyfish fungi on the way. Furthermore, we don't know if there are any more behind," Gu Shanshui said.
Li Mobai thought for a moment and said, "Then let's clear the jellyfish fungi. It's best we don't go to Spirit Absorption Valley."
"I have a fire-elemental pet here. Master Gu, see if you can help me." Zhou Wen released the chick from his backpack.
After Tai Sui advanced to the Mythical stage, it didn't seem to have much of an appetite for ordinary microorganisms. As for these jellyfish fungi, they were only grown from the spores emitted from the mother's body, not dimensional creatures. Tai Sui was even less interested.
Tai Sui: Mythical (Evolvable)
Life Providence: Offending the Tai Sui
Life Soul: Twelve Tai Sui Gods
Wheel of Fortune: Long-lived.
Strength: 81
Speed: 81
Constitution: 81
Essence Energy: 81
Innate Skill: Earth Escape
Companion Form: Mimicry.
Zhou Wen had tried Tai Sui's Wheel of Destiny, but he didn't discover any special effects. It was useless when he used it. Tai Sui's body didn't change at all, leaving Zhou Wen depressed.
"Didn't Master Gu already say that ordinary fire-type creatures can't be used here? Didn't you hear?" Gu Lou said unhappily.
Zhou Wen hadn't listened to Gu Shanshui and put away the chick and Tai Sui. From the looks of it, he didn't trust them. This made Gu Lou have a very bad impression of Zhou Wen.
Now that Zhou Wen had taken out a fire-elemental pet, Gu Lou naturally felt even more disgusted.
However, Gu Shanshui didn't think the same as Gu Lou. Zhou Wen's ability to discover the jellyfish fungi ahead of time made him feel that this young man wasn't simple.
Furthermore, people like Li Mobai seemed to respect Zhou Wen, making Gu Shanshui even more afraid of underestimating him.
Gu Shanshui stopped Gu Lou and asked the chick, "Is this pet's flame of yours a Yin fire?"
"I'm not too sure about that, but its flames can be released and retracted freely. It should be of some use," Zhou Wen said.
"What's the use of being able to retract and release it freely? Who can't retract and release their Companion Beast powers freely? Do you have any common sense? There are a lot of spores here. When gathered together, it's like a large number of fans. Using ordinary flames can easily trigger a dust explosion. Even without the dust explosion, igniting a large area of spores can also trigger a forest fire. It's very easy to alarm the dimensional creatures in the forest … "Gu Lou said.
"Gu Lou, don't be rude to guests," Gu Shanshui said with a frown.
When Gu Lou heard Gu Shanshui's words, he had no choice but to shut up. However, from his expression, it was obvious that he was indignant.
Gu Shanshui bowed at Zhou Wen and said, "Zhou, Gu Lou is young and immature. Please don't take his rude words to heart. However, what he said is right. Ordinary flames will indeed cause many problems. If you are confident, you can let your pet give it a try. If you aren't confident, let us be in charge of cleaning up. It doesn't matter if we spend more time. "
"Master Gu, I know a little about the taboos of using flames. Didn't I just say that my pet can control its flames without triggering an explosion or fire?" Zhou Wen had seen the chick's flames before, so he naturally knew that it had such an ability.
"Then let's give it a try. Let it spew out some flames first," Gu Shanshui said.
Zhou Wen gestured for the chick to spit out flames, but the chick's personality wasn't as good as Zhou Wen's. Its intelligence wasn't inferior to humans'. Although it couldn't speak human language, it could understand.
Gu Lou's words made it very unhappy. Just as Zhou Wen gestured, the chick flapped its wings and had no intention of spitting out flames for Gu Shanshui to verify. It flew straight to the corpses and spat out a blob of golden flames.
"No good!" Gu Shanshui, Gu Lou, and Gu He were alarmed.
There were nearly a hundred corpses there, and there were countless jellyfish fungi of all sizes growing on them. When they were burned by the flames, a large number of jellyfish fungi exploded. Even if they didn't produce dust explosions, a large number of spores would spread out.
However, the next scene left them stunned.
The chick's golden flames landed on the corpses, igniting the corpses and jellyfish fungi. Strangely, the jellyfish fungi didn't explode when they encountered the flames. They quickly burned to ashes in the golden flames.
Nearly a hundred corpses, along with the jellyfish fungi on them, were instantly reduced to ashes. Nothing was left behind.
Furthermore, the golden flames only burned the corpses and jellyfish fungi. They didn't affect the nearby creatures at all. Even the other spores in the air weren't ignited.
Gu Lou and Gu He were dumbfounded. Even the Corpse Fire they used didn't have such good effects, much less eliminate all the jellyfish fungi and corpses so quickly.
Gu Shanshui stared at the chick as his expression turned extremely odd. After watching for a while, he suddenly turned to Zhou Wen and bowed. "Mr. Zhou, if I'm willing to send you through the Flower River and into the Valley of No Return, can you do me a favor?"
Gu Lou and Gu He were alarmed. Outsiders didn't know what Gu Shanshui's etiquette meant, but they knew very well that this etiquette was a very high standard in Mong Sa. Typically, such etiquette was only used on monks with great merit.
