the trading market, all to ambush Lián.This day happened to be Dong Ziqing’s turn to stand guard. He saw Lian Yi wearing a black fox fur coat, thick snow boots, and holding a black cat leisurely stro...Ripples knew that Doudou was currently entangled with the Blue Cap Spore, keeping everyone from moving even through the night. This actually made it harder for Doudou to be exposed, so she also clutched her soft stool in a defensive posture and slowly approached them.

Mo Shang dust still chooses to stand by Lian Yi's side, even Xi Ye is proud because everyone chooses to listen to him, and doesn't know what he is proud of.

And those who had already become slaves of the Blue Cap Mushroom, hid themselves in the nooks and crannies along the edges of the caves. From the conversation between the two sides just now, they determined that they had no chance of living to escape.

Now they were hiding in the shadows, their eyes twisted and filled with hatred as they stared at Mo Shangchen and the others. The arrival of these people had shattered the last veil, showing them the path to their doom.

Before the ripples had time to settle, a tremor ran through the ground. It seemed something was about to emerge from beneath the surface.

"

Break it up!

"

This time, Mo Shangchen reminded loudly.

The instant everyone scattered, something broke through the ground's rocks and emerged. It was a ten-meter-tall blue mushroom with green vines winding up its stem, and each vine had small red flowers blooming rapidly.

"Oh! No!!"

A piercing scream caught everyone's attention.

The moment the Ripple of Consciousness probed outward, it saw those who had already retreated, aging at a speed visible to the naked eye. This was a sign of life force rapidly dissipating.

Her eyes flashed, knowing that this was the Blue Cap Mushroom's last struggle. She immediately sent a voice transmission and asked:

"Duo Duo, the Blue Cap Phantom Fungi are forcefully taking those people's lifespans. Can you handle it"

"Don't worry, master. I can handle this. The more life force he draws out, the more I absorb."

Doudou replied proudly, "I am the Devourer of Souls, after all. As long as there's spiritual energy, I can drain it completely, not a single bit left."

"The spiritual energy absorbed from the Azure Cap Mushroom, you store it alone and return it to this oasis when leaving." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

The ripples commanded directly. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Master, is there a reason"

Doudou, not understanding, asked, "This was taken from him and the Blue Cap Mushroom during their fight. He wants her to spit it out, but she's reluctant."

"The Blue-Cap Fungus and your resistance are all powers she stole from others. She is destined to have no future, while you are going to ascend. Consider this a good deed for yourself."

Ripples patiently explained.

"Dodo understands."

Dodo still listened to advice. Her master had taught her that if someone attacked her, she should just accept it. The outcome would be decided by who was stronger. But if she took the initiative to attack, she had to have a good reason. Her master preferred that she improve her cultivation through hard work and practice, rather than taking shortcuts.

And their Spirit Devouring Flower Clan, ten thousand years ago, relied on this special ability to recklessly raise their cultivation through plundering. In the end, they incurred the wrath of all and doomed their Spirit Devouring Flower's future, almost being wiped out.

As the last remaining Spirit-Devouring Flower, she could clearly see everything in her inherited memories, which is why she practiced and disguised herself so carefully, fearing that if she were exposed, her clan would be destroyed.

Since signing the contract with Ripple, she had experienced several mission worlds and her understanding of certain things became clearer. She also knew that her master would definitely not harm her, so she immediately obeyed.

"Everybody get out of this cave, it's about to collapse!"

Moshangchen immediately said.

"I'll lead the way."

At dusk, Lian Xi held his sword and said.

As she spoke, a fiery blade of light flashed instantaneously, cleaving through the stalactite ceiling of the cave. With the rumble of falling debris, she and the rest of her companions surged forward into the night.

On the other side of the river, Mo Shang was followed closely by Chen Jin. Then came Lian Yi and Du Yan, Mu Sheng, and finally Ye Qing.

At this time, the battle between Dodo and the Blue-capped Mushroom has escalated to a fever pitch. The Blue-capped Mushroom controls those puppets to attack Dodo. Unfortunately, these people have lost their fighting spirit because they have been imprisoned for too long. Before they even get close to Dodo, they have already turned into skeletons.

A deafening boom echoed through the desolate oasis, sending sand and rocks flying. Even the first star of the night leaped out, followed swiftly by everyone else as they sprang from their hiding places. The center of the oasis began to collapse inward, spreading outwards like a hungry maw, threatening to consume everything in its path.

Ye Qing's movements faltered for a moment at the end of her attack, and then the spiritual sword in her hand flew towards Lian Yi, Du Yan, and Mu Sheng.

Liàn Yī cursed under her breath, swatting aside the opponent's attack with a whip. Then, she addressed Lián Xīyè with displeasure:

"Hey buddy, what's up with your fellow disciples They keep attacking people over and over again. Is this some kind of addiction Can we even team up anymore If not, let's just disband!"

Even in the moment she turned back that evening, she saw Ye Qing's actions. She had no thought of protecting him whatsoever, and Du Yan and Mu Sheng were the victims. Looking at Ye Qing, their eyes could have swallowed him whole.

Although they were both at the Nascent Soul stage, Ye Qing's swordsmanship was superior to theirs. If his attacks landed, both of them would definitely be injured. This time, the two stood on Li Ri's side, one wielding a sword and the other dancing with a red silk ribbon, directly responding to the opponent with their actions.

Ye Qing was also a little dumbfounded at this time. He had just attacked those black puppet people who rushed up, how did they become his fellow disciples in the blink of an eye He immediately explained:

"Everyone, I didn't mean to..."

"Tut tut, either intentional or unintentional! Do you feel like you get more of the spoils when we're missing three people Or are you trying to make us three the scapegoats"

The ripples said stubbornly,

"It's not..."

Unfortunately, the other party's explanation could no longer be uttered. As a sudden eruption of black viscous liquid shot out from the collapsed area, it landed on Ye Qing's defensive shield and instantly pierced through it upon impact, transforming into black gas that left Ye Qing momentarily dazed. He then resumed his pursuit of Ripple and the others with renewed aggression.

Then Mo Shangchen said to Lian Xiye:

"Your fellow disciples must have been misled. Quickly subdue them, we cannot turn on each other."

At dusk, Lian Xiye nodded in agreement, his figure flashing as he approached Ye Qing, ready to strike at an opportune moment.

Unfortunately, the Blue Cap Mushroom didn't give them that chance. It had already crawled out of the broken hole, its large blue cap particularly noticeable and eye-catching. And in an instant as it opened its cap, many black things shot out.

"Hold your breath!"

Ripple reminded coldly, adding a layer of defense for herself.

You leave me no way out, I will drag you all down with me! Ah!!!

The Blue Hat Mushroom seemed to want to self-destruct, but the next moment it rapidly shrunk, as if all its power had been used up in the previous explosion.

"Master, I have extracted the core of the Blue Cap Phantom Fungus. The alarm is lifted!"

Every little bud is radiating joy.

"Look for opportunities to come back to me, and you don't have to worry about the rest."

"Master, I found many storage pouches and storage rings and bracelets in this Blue Cap Fungus nest. Shall I collect them"

"Take some, leave some. Taking nothing at all can raise suspicion from others."

"Yes!"y for their children's education.Because they had greased the palms privately, and the land was directly sold to the intermediary, things went very smoothly. Afterwards, their family of five left the...
