As Yun Ran and the others took the winding path, although many people were around, they simply ignored their actions completely.
Ginsengfruit was carrying an enormous bag filled with all sorts of snacks.
He munches as he walks, and no matter who it is, they can only note that Yun Ran really spoils this only little disciple of his.
"Host, how can you be so sure that there is a gigantic Spirit Capturing Array on the Five Emperors Mountain?"
Perhaps because Ginsengfruit is a wise being, his ability to learn is exceptionally strong. Anything Yun Ran teaches, Ginsengfruit quickly masters.
For someone of Ginsengfruit’s mid to high level, detecting the presence of an array in a place is not difficult.
But from start to finish, he hasn’t detected any aura of an array here, let alone a massive and complex Spirit Capturing Array.
If it’s true, for such a large Five Emperors Mountain to secretly set up an array, it would require so much manpower and resources.
Not only did he not notice, but even Xuan Chu and the Dragon Spirit didn’t, so it’s not that his skills are lacking.
Yun Ran walked ahead, unfazed by Ginsengfruit’s question.
But his voice from the front reached Ginsengfruit’s ears following behind.
"Of course, by using the method of elimination. Remember, when you eliminate all options, whatever remains, no matter how illogical, is the correct answer.
Even if the situation on the Five Emperors Mountain was deliberately obscured or erased, the people from the Special Administration Bureau aren’t just sitting idly by.
There is the presence of a Guardian Dragon Spirit and the Heavenly Book here; the energy fluctuations are different, unless everyone’s ears and eyes are completely blinded.
Otherwise, it’s impossible for everyone to ignore what’s happening here or allow this to become a tourist hotspot that draws many people’s attention.
So, by eliminating the impossible, only one answer remains: someone has tampered with this place.
To suppress the fluctuations of the Guardian Dragon Spirit and the Heavenly Book, the most suitable means is the Spirit Capturing Array.
Plus, with tourists constantly coming and going, their aura is numerous and diverse, completely disguising the other auras here."
After Yun Ran’s analysis, Ginsengfruit immediately felt that this might be the reason why the Five Emperors Mountain has gone undiscovered for so many years.
However, compared to the entire Five Emperors Mountain, walking on two pairs of legs was like being two tiny ants...
At first, they took the small roads with traces of human passage.
But as they walked, they veered away from those paths, heading directly into areas overgrown with weeds.
Ginsengfruit quickly stepped forward: "Host, why don’t I lead the way? Just in case some snakes, insects, or rodents pop out of these bushes..."
His body was crafted, so even if bitten, it is those creatures who would suffer.
However, before Ginsengfruit could finish his sentence, he saw Yun Ran take out the Feather Fan.
With a gentle wave, not only were the hidden snakes, insects, and rodents displaced, but even the mist formed by climatic conditions was swept away.
Ginsengfruit: ...
He forgot that the Host’s Spirit Platform was unsealed; there was no need for him to protect the Host.
Then, he saw the Host take out Erdan.
Without the Little Papermen causing chaos, Erdan returned to its original clean appearance.
The eggshell shimmered with golden light, matching the breathing rhythm of the little one inside.
Yun Ran tapped on the eggshell, her voice gentle, but to Erdan, it was like a devil whispering: "I’ve raised you for so long, it’s time to do some work.
Later, if you sense anything wrong, make sure to shine brightly, okay?"
Erdan was somewhat afraid of this woman who controlled its life, even though its eggshell was very hard and could protect it until it hatched.
But Erdan was truly frightened by the Little Papermen and Yun Ran’s occasional cold gaze.
Complying, it quickly mustered its strength, allowing its golden light to flicker several times to indicate understanding.
Yun Ran was very pleased with Erdan’s tactfulness.
"What a good baby."
Though it was praise, Erdan inexplicably felt a chill over its eggshell.
Heaven knows, since gaining consciousness, no matter what changes occurred outside, it was always in a constant temperature state.
Never had it experienced what cold felt like, but ever since Yun Ran captured it, it felt this chill from time to time.
Ginsengfruit glanced at Erdan in Yun Ran’s hand.
His eyes suddenly lit up. If the Spirit Capturing Array here was undetectable to them, perhaps their eyes were deliberately obscured.
But Erdan, absorbed with the Heavenly Dao Origin, was hard to deceive.
"It’s a pity this little guy is a bit useless, it can’t even talk; otherwise, it’d be much more convenient."
Erdan: ...
It’s just small, not stupid.
At this point, it hasn’t fully developed, it only has spiritual wisdom, understands human speech, and it’s already being enslaved like this.
If it could speak, Erdan doesn’t dare imagine how miserable it would be.
Especially the name Erdan; each time it hears someone call it that, it feels like it’s being repeatedly blindsided.
The Feather Fan in Yun Ran’s hand occasionally waved, and the mist sensibly parted to form a path.
If not for the Feather Fan, by the time they walked through now, their clothes would definitely be soaked with water vapor.
Erdan performed its detection duties diligently, and soon, it sensed something unusual.
Having possessed a Companion Beast, Erdan had a natural tendency to suppress and enslave other Life forms.
But after all this time, it hadn’t found a being it could suppress, as if no other Life forms were here.
Erdan quickly withheld its breath and flickered its light.
Ginsengfruit’s attention had been fixed on Erdan ever since it was taken out.
At this moment, he noticed the frequency of the golden light flashing on Erdan’s eggshell had changed.
"Host, Erdan found something wrong here!"
Yun Ran immediately halted.
"Is there a problem here?"
Erdan: No, it’s that I discovered this place doesn’t have anyone to enslave me, what a lousy place! Bad rating!!!
Yun Ran and Erdan were clearly like a chicken talking to a duck, and no one could accurately translate it.
"Host, let me check it out!"
Digging, weeding, and other miscellaneous tasks fell naturally to Ginsengfruit’s responsibility, and he conscientiously started probing around.
"There’s nothing here, could it be I’m using the wrong method to dig through this soil and stone?"
At this moment, Ginsengfruit missed his little underlings; after all, on the track of obedience and diligence, no one could compete with the Little Papermen.
