“It’s in this grassland, hurry up, don’t let it get away!”
The two immediately split up to search.
Searching for a specific plant in such a large grassland is quite a test of one’s eyesight.
At this point, an animal’s sense of smell is indeed more reliable.
Cola sniffed around quickly and zeroed in on a location.
After circling around a few times and digging at a certain spot, his eyes lit up, he called out hastily, “Mu You, I found it, meow!”
“Oh?
Where, where?”
Mu You quickly ran over to take a look.
As it turned out, the area Cola was standing on was nothing more than ordinary broad-leaved grass, indistinguishable from the other wild grass around.
“Are you sure this is a Mandrake?”
“I’m sure!”
Cola swallowed a gulp of saliva, licked his tongue, and transmitted: “After the Mandrake buries itself in the dirt, it changes its leaves to resemble the surrounding plants.
But it can’t hide its smell from my nose!
Hahaha…”
As Cola spoke, he’d already cheekily moved towards the wild grass “Heh heh, little guy, do you think you can escape from me just by hiding here?
Watch me pull you out!”
Once he finished speaking, he bit the grass root with his mouth and yanked hard.
Mu You was happy that they quickly found the Mandrake’s location.
However, Cola’s subsequent actions made him freeze, his face changing drastically, “No, wait a minute…”
Unfortunately, he was a moment too late.
The next second, the wild grass was yanked out by Cola, and beneath the grass root was indeed connected to a ‘white radish’ with a little face and tiny limbs.
Exposed to the air, it immediately started vigorously kicking its four legs and cried out loud without hesitation.
“Wa wa wa…”
A baby-like shrill cry instantly filled their minds.
Cola immediately passed out, seeing stars before his eyes.
“Damn it!”
Mu You also felt a massive wave of sleepiness hit him, his body softening and his eyelids drooping uncontrollably.
He quickly reached into his pocket, felt for the pocket watch, gathered his strength and pressed it.
Luckily, he was just in time.
The next moment, time rewound, everything returned to five seconds ago.
“Little thing…watch me pull you out!”
At this point, Cola had bitten into the Mandrake again and was about to use force.
Mu You didn’t have time to explain and slapped him straight away.
“Meow!”
With a painful yowl, the force of the slap sent Cola spinning 720 degrees in mid-air and landing face down.
He shook his dizzy head several times before jumping up in anger: “What did you hit me for, meow!” frёewebnoѵēl.com
“What do you think?
Are you stupid?
You went ahead and pulled it out even though you knew it would hypnotise you!” Mu You retorted irritably.
He had almost been ruined by Cola just now.
If they passed out here, in the middle of nowhere…
Upon hearing this, Cola paused: “Oh, right, what happened to me just now?
Suddenly I just felt dazed and wanted to pull it out, even though I knew I shouldn’t, how strange, meow…” Cola made a bewildered motion, rubbing his head with one paw.
Mu You rolled his eyes and assumed Cola was just making excuses for his mistake.
He picked some leaves from the surroundings, rolled them into balls, and stuffed them into his ears.
On the other hand, Cola quickly lay on the ground and covered his ears with the meatballs of his two paws, his movements were quite practiced, obviously, it wasn’t his first time.
After confirming that his ears were plugged, Mu You then held onto the grass neck with one hand, and tightly clenched the pocket watch with the other, ready to rewind time if something went wrong.
Once he was prepared, Mu You pulled out the Mandrake with all his strength.
Exposed to the air again, the ‘white radish’ like mandrake started to wail.
The sound of crying rushed into his mind.
Fortunately, this time the sound was much quieter, and the hypnotic power was greatly reduced, so he would not pass out.
Mu You let go of the pocket watch, opened his backpack with one hand, and threw the mandrake in.
As soon as it landed, the mandrake stopped crying.
It quickly swung its little legs, scurried out of the small shed and burrowed into a spot on the grass by the door.
It soon blended into its surroundings.
“Phew!”
Mu You breathed a sigh of relief and discarded the items from his ears.
Despite some twists and turns, he finally got it done in the end!
“How strange, meow.
Why did I do such a thing…” Cola was still mumbling to himself in confusion.
“Still dwelling on it?”
Mu You laughed, “It’s all in the past now.
Just be careful next time.”
While speaking, he continued to control the battle eagle to hover nearby.
He soon noticed another potential abnormal creature in the forest.
“You don’t understand.
This is about my honor!
You should know that I was the champion of the ‘Familiar Hunting Contest’, how could I make such a rookie mistake…”
“Alright, alright, I know.
Follow me, let’s go this way…”
As they bickered, the man and the cat quickly moved away.
…
Not long after they left, two young men in cloaks passed through the forest and arrived at this grassland.
One of them held a round display in his hand.
He looked at the empty grid map on it and said in confusion, “Strange, there was a light point just now.
Why has it disappeared so suddenly?”
“It might be some ‘wild’ players who broke in.
Look at the dirt here.
There are traces of digging!” The other man pointed to a fresh hole in the ground.
“It seems so…
Tsk, these rule-breaking lone players are troublesome.
They are too tough to drive away!”
“Alright, enough complaints.
Let’s hurry to the next location.
If we linger here any longer, all the creatures will be taken by those loners…”
…
Mu You and Cola followed the direction indicated by the battle eagle and quickly arrived nearby.
As they got closer, the sound of battle mixed with animal roars became clearer and clearer.
Mu You’s heart sank.
Apparently, he was late this time, and someone else had already attacked the creature.
He didn’t go there directly, but hid behind a rock with Cola, peering out from behind it.
Tens of meters away in the open area, there stood a brown bear more than two meters tall.
It was robust and fierce with armor crudely draped over it.
Its huge mouth, filled with sharp blood-stained teeth, sent chills down one’s spine, punctuated by deafening roars from time to time.
Mu You identified it as a magical creature at first glance.
After all, what proper bear would fight while wearing armour?
The one fighting the brown bear was a young player wielding a shield and a hatchet.
This was the first live player Mu You had encountered, other than the little girl and the werewolf.
Judging from the traces of the battle, both sides were evenly matched.
The brown bear had been cut in several places by the axe and blood soaked its fur, giving it a piteous look.
Of course, the young man wasn’t having an easy time either.
His strength and attack power were evidently far inferior to the brown bear’s.
Facing the bear’s continuous attacks, he could only dodge and roll, using his shield to barely block.
The shield already had numerous cracks in it and obviously couldn’t hold up for long.
After assessing the situation, Mu You was a little torn: should he help out?
If he join in, he and the player could certainly suppress the brown bear.
But this might seem like stealing kills, and the player might not welcome his help.
If he didn’t intervene, the young man seemed unable to hold on much longer.
What if he died outright?
Then he wouldn’t have a chance to ask him any questions.
