Eighth had also put down the director, who had recovered somewhat and followed suit. When Luodeng started, everyone realized how bad they were at it. They were not as fast as him, even with all of them combined.
Because of this, they didn’t notice Tang Susu, who was on the other side. On the surface, she seemed to be happily collecting the Lingzi into the sacks, but in reality, she was like a harvester and putting everything into her inventory.
This made her think of a game that she had played before. The collected plants might prove useful in the future. Perhaps the system also had the same aim, which meant that she might find a use for them in the future!
She also had a pretty good idea about how to use the Blood Vine.
After that, Tang Susu’s mission went exceptionally smoothly. Along the way, she also collected countless useful herbs and plants.
Soon, the director woke up and gave her even more help. The precious herbs that 008 specifically wanted and the extremely rare, valuable herbs that Luodeng mentioned were growing rampant, like weeds here. There were so many that they could see it reaching out to the horizon.
Everyone was so immersed in the harvesting that they didn’t even realize it was already getting dark.
When Tang Susu was prompted by 008, she, Eighth, Lu Yunxiang, Luo Deng, and the director were already picking poisonous mushrooms!
She let out an “Ah!” and threw away the basket that she had taken out at some point. It was already filled with poisonous mushrooms!
The colorful mushrooms looked exceptionally alluring. They emitted the fragrance of all kinds of fungi, making them look hypnotized.
Lu Yunxiang was still muttering, “I’ll get some for Bo Yanhui, and some for Steward Duan too. Everyone should have some. Pick more. Everyone… Eat mushrooms tonight… Eat mushrooms…”
Steward Duan and Bai Yanhui, if they were here, would surely “thank” her!
Just as Tang Susu was about to wake her up, she saw Eighth lying in a large pile of mushrooms. He kept stuffing all kinds of red, green, and blue mushrooms into his mouth. His expression was blank, and he would giggle from time to time.
Tang Susu couldn’t help but curse. How was she going to explain to Shen Zhiting that he had become a mental patient?
She quickly bought the best antidote and injected each of them with it.
Despite using such a powerful antidote. The few of them were still squatting together after a long while and muttering to themselves as they surrounded the biggest mushroom in the area.
Seeing this, Tang Susu had no choice but to pluck the mushroom. The four of them immediately became obedient dogs and followed behind her, calling out in fear, “Mushroom Queen, please wait for me!”
They even said, “It’s going to rain. Your Highness, please go into the mushroom house to hide from the rain.”
“The seven dwarves will come to save you.”
“And the prince, he is my boss!” Eighth howled happily.
Tang Susu thought he had woken up. But in the next second, he said confidently, “He will bring the most beautiful and colorful mushrooms in the world to marry you!”
His tone and expression were like a kindergarten child reciting a poem. They looked extremely exaggerated.
After walking for a while, a few of them cried again, “It’s raining. Hurry and hide from the rain. I’m going to get wet!”
Tang Susu had just restrained Lu Yunxiang when she saw Luo Deng leap up the tree like a monkey and hide under a huge leaf.
The leaf was actually full of sawteeth, like a bloody mouth. When he arrived, it slowly opened its mouth and quietly approached him.
Luodeng giggled. “No rain, no rain!”
In the next moment, a loud clap of thunder rang in his ears. He was so frightened that he fell straight from the branch. When he almost hit the ground, he was lifted by a light breeze.
“It’s fun. I want more, more!” Then, he climbed up the tree and jumped down from a high place again.
The leaf wanted to bite him, but it ended up biting nothing.
This time, Tang Susu didn’t really catch him, and he fell hard on his buttocks.
While Luodeng was feeling sad, Tang Susu saw the director curiously pressing the flashlight on his sports watch. On and off, off and on, and so on and so forth. The beam was even aimed at Eighth, almost blinding him.
Tang Susu was having a headache just from them messing around. Didn’t they know that what they were doing was extremely dangerous, especially when they were in such a dense and dark forest?
■008, what should we do?’
‘The poison is too strong. The antidote will take some time to take effect. It should be fine. Take care, host.’
However, it didn’t take long when 008 came back and said, ‘Since your two brothers didn’t see you come back after so long, they’re setting out to find you because they are worried!’
