CHAPTER 132: CHAPTER 131: TIANYI TOURNAMENT (PART 23)

Zou Huali clipped a section of the video, zoomed in, and asked Lin Zhian, "Li Xing pasted two sheets of paper on her legs, and her speed suddenly increased several times. What is that?"

"It’s talisman. The talisman we use nowadays is derived from talisman, and you could say talisman is the ancestor of talisman. Creating talisman isn’t hard, but because talisman requires special talisman paper and cinnabar as carriers, and the method for making talisman paper is nearly lost, the talisman that exists today is extremely expensive, comparable to Heaven Rank Medicines."

Lin Zhian adjusted his glasses and continued, "From the footage captured, it seems that Li Xing used two talismans with effects of acceleration and lightness. This kind of talisman is most commonly used among the Thirty-six Sages and is one of the most popular talismans on Qianyuan Continent."

Zou Huali and Zhou Jun exchanged a glance, seeing the confusion in each other’s eyes. Finally, host Zhou Jun spoke up, asking the question everyone wanted to know: "Then... where did Li Xing get these two talismans?"

Lin Zhian shook his head, "I’m not sure. In today’s society, although talismans are rare, they haven’t completely disappeared. Maybe Li Xing bought them at an auction, or maybe she encountered them elsewhere. Talismans are classified as weapons, protected by privacy laws, so let’s not delve into it too deeply."

Zou Huali and the host both nodded, dropping the topic.

On the other side of the arena, Ye Qingting, Cui Tianxiao, and Qi Ming followed behind the Big-mouth Flower, sprinting wildly, until they reached a fallen rotten tree where the Big-mouth Flower finally stopped.

The Big-mouth Flower planted its two roots on the ground, with two roots carried behind like arms, circled the rotten tree once. It ultimately stopped near the root of the rotten tree, pointed at it, then at Ye Qingting, raised its arms upward to make a lifting motion.

Since Li Xing instructed them to listen to Hui Hui about everything, Ye Qingting always paid attention to the Big-mouth Flower’s actions, and now understood, moving the rotten tree aside.

Once the light appeared, the bugs underneath the rotten tree scattered like a tidal wave, revealing some yellow-brown moss.

The Big-mouth Flower got excited upon seeing these mosses, repeatedly exclaiming, "Quickly crush the Shadow Moon Nether Moss and spread it over your body!"

Unfortunately, no one received the Divine Sense transmission from the Big-mouth Flower, only seeing it gesturing wildly at the ground, its two roots moving from head to feet, twirling its body in an ostentatious and bizarre manner.

The three of them exchanged perplexed looks, clueless about what to do.

Ye Qingting and Qi Ming looked at Cui Tianxiao for help; having raised a Battle Pet Spirit Plant before, perhaps he was slightly better at communicating than them, who were complete outsiders.

"Umm... Hui Hui, are you asking us to hide under the rotten tree?" Cui Tianxiao scratched his head, looking at only the half-person deep dirt pit, feeling troubled: "It’s not deep enough, can’t fit three people."

The Big-mouth Flower appeared frustrated, its two root arms forming into a thick arrow shape, pointing directly at the Shadow Moon Nether Moss, yelling:

"I know this little dirt pit can’t fit three people! Do I need you to tell me? Crush the Shadow Moon Nether Moss and smear it all over yourselves, hurry up!"

Even though the three didn’t know how to communicate with Spirit Plants, they realized they misunderstood the Big-mouth Flower’s intentions. It kept pointing at the ground, but aside from the dirty moss, there was nothing else.

Cui Tianxiao suddenly clapped his fist into his palm and shouted, "I got it! You’re asking us to dig deeper, right? That’s easy!" With that, Cui Tianxiao used both hands to dig away much of the loose rotten dirt.

Seeing nearly half of the Shadow Moon Nether Moss being destroyed by Cui Tianxiao, the Big-mouth Flower grasped its head with its "hands," let out a cry of despair, then kicked Cui Tianxiao to the ground, lowered its head, swallowed all the remaining Shadow Moon Nether Moss, chewed it a bit, and sprayed it all over the three.

"Ahhhhh—!"

Looking at the drizzling, snot-like brown sticky liquid on him, Cui Tianxiao almost threw up with disgust. He was about to get angry, but then noticed the spots covered with the slime were slowly turning transparent until they disappeared.

"Whoa! I’m invisible!"

Finally, the three understood, the Big-mouth Flower wasn’t referring to the dirt pit, but the inconspicuous moss at the bottom of the pit, a miraculous plant of unknown variety that had the effect of invisibility.

Ignoring the disgust, the three quickly spread the slime evenly across their bodies, soon completely disappearing from the camera’s view. Hui Hui also changed its body color, found a corner to lie down and rest, perfectly blending into the jungle.

Outsiders couldn’t see the three of them, but they could sense each other’s presence, thanks to the properties of the Shadow Moon Nether Moss.

Cui Tianxiao gazed at Hui Hui who had activated its camouflage, enamored, saying:

"Now I finally understand why Li Xing would sell everything just to raise it! Such a clever plant, it’s really appealing! The more you look at it, the more fascinating it becomes, makes me want to raise one too."

Hui Hui rolled its eyes, turned its head away from him, muttering in its heart: "Pah! With such a fool as the owner, the plant would die prematurely!"

Li Xing used two Speed Talismans but still couldn’t shake off Chu Yunyi’s pursuit. Seeing the effect of the Speed Talismans nearing its end, she grew anxious.

However, Li Xing maintained her composure, still smiling and chatting while leading Chu Yunyi, with no trace of her anxiety visible.

"Captain Chu, you’ve been chasing for over half an hour, aren’t you tired? Would you like to stop and rest for a bit?"

Whoosh—a Wind Blade was her response.

"You know, chasing me with such effort, what if the Competition Token isn’t with me, wouldn’t it be a waste of time? Captain Chu, heeding my advice, the Competition Token is with Qingtian, you can still turn back and pursue them in time."

More Wind Blades came, which Li Xing deftly dodged.

"Hehehe! Young man, why are you so fiery? There’s over two hours left, do you think you can catch me before the competition ends?"

"Out of respect for you being Qingtian’s cousin, I’ll give you a friendly tip: you can copy our team’s strategy and go after the Tu Ling Team and Desert Boat Team! At your speed, you can definitely get enough Competition Tokens before the competition ends without having to keep chasing me. I have plenty of these Speed Talismans, you can’t outlast me!"

Unfortunately, despite Li Xing’s attempts to entice him, Chu Yunyi remained silent, relentlessly chasing after her, with every intention of not giving up until he catches her.

//You guys say, who actually has the Competition Token?//

//Why even ask, it’s definitely with Li Xing.//

//But knowing Chu Yunyi won’t let her go, wouldn’t it be foolish for Li Xing not to transfer the Competition Token?//

//You have a point...//

//Damn! If only one less person was eliminated from the Tianyi Team, cooperating with Chu God to pursue from both ends, regardless of who has the Competition Token, they could definitely get it back!//

Thus, the comment section erupted in another wave criticizing Jiang Yuesheng, An Qing, and Lin Caier.
