The tall man’s face showed a shock as he grabbed the child and retreated.
But the spear kept chasing relentlessly; left with no choice, the tall man used his last bit of strength to cast a Wind Blade.
A Wind Wall blocked behind him, neutralizing the spear’s attack.
However, he collapsed from exhaustion, with the child in his arms ending up as a cushion.
The child wailed and cried out, "You’re bullying me again!!!"
The tall man covered the child’s mouth with a headache, "Stop crying, ancestor, or it’ll rain again."
As he spoke, the rain really started to fall again.
The child tried to control his tears, but the pressure was too painful, and he couldn’t control the physiological tears.
Helplessly, the tall man sat up, looking at the spear behind him that had been neutralized by the Wind Wall, a complex look flickering in his eyes.
Was this a coincidence?
Only when some strength had returned to his body did the tall man stand up again and walk towards the spear, which had now lost its vitality, resembling ordinary inert matter.
The familiar presence from before had disappeared.
The tall man silently glanced at the jungle and murmured, "Could it be... she also came here?"
"?" The child looked at him suspiciously, "Who?"
The tall man gave him a look and replied, "Robber."
When Bai Junjun left, she left a generous gift for the trap’s owner, never imagining the owner would come to unwrap the gift so soon.
At this moment, she was only halfway back when it started raining again.
After cursing the thief-like weather, Bai Junjun sprinted at full speed.
Luckily, the way back was quiet and uneventful.
When she reached the camp, it was still peaceful; Bai Sasa and Xiao Shan were busy inventing and creating inside the house.
Seeing Bai Junjun return, both stopped what they were doing and looked concerned.
"You’re back, big sister?"
"Was everything okay outside? Didn’t encounter any danger, right?"
"Don’t worry," Bai Junjun was really happy as she pulled out many fruits from her bosom.
"I saw a lot of wild fruits around and picked some to bring back, maybe we can figure out how to eat them?"
It seemed that yesterday, big sister wouldn’t stop talking about the wild fruits along the way. Could it be that she went out in the afternoon just to pick wild fruits?
These wild fruits were unfamiliar to them, and it was unknown if they were edible.
However, thinking of big sister’s body that could detect toxic plants, Bai Sasa felt they were mostly likely inedible.
Bai Junjun, unaware of her younger sister’s internal criticism, was eagerly staring at the fruits. She decided to emulate Shennong’s spirit of trying numerous herbs, especially since she had the Special Ability that made her resistant to all toxins.
Bai Junjun picked up the first fruit, bright red, somewhat resembling a dragon fruit but shaped like a pineapple with bumpy segments, unclear of what it was.
Excitedly, Bai Junjun squeezed the fruit open, and its inside was sticky like aloe vera gel, fragrant though upon a light lick, a bitter taste spread out.
Bai Junjun frowned in disgust, while Bai Sasa and Xiao Shan shook their heads in unison, "Not safe, not safe, let’s not force it."
Bai Junjun cleaned her hands and then looked at another bunch of small black fruits, similar to cherries, though it was uncertain if they were actually cherries.
After all, in the future these fruits would only exist in archives, and she had never seen the actual objects.
Bai Sasa felt something was odd about these fruits, but Bai Junjun had already tossed one into her mouth, and as she chewed, more foam formed in her mouth.
In the end, Bai Junjun even felt like she was spitting white foam as if she had seen this
