Master Li also sensed something was amiss with this place: "Are you saying that we've been going around in circles here for a long time?"

"That's right!" Grandpa Uncle clapped his hands and said, "I was wondering why it always felt weird. So that's it. We've fallen into an illusion!"

The little fat man and the yellow-haired man exclaimed in surprise: "Illusion?"

What the hell? This is too outrageous!

"Did we encounter an illusion created by ghosts?" the little fat boy asked tremblingly. Although he looked the strongest, he was the timidest and most afraid of ghosts.

Grandpa slapped him on the back of the head and scolded him, "What are you thinking! All those years of studying have been wasted! This is a scientific world, how can there be such a thing as ghosts!"

"Science? You can practice it, people can fly and hide underground, and it's still science!" Huang Mao muttered softly, earning a slap from his uncle. Master Li couldn't bear to see the two children being stupid, after all, they were his students, so he explained: "This must be an illusion created by a mutant plant."

Grandpa added, "The world is full of wonders. Some plants, after mutating, will emit fragrance or spores that cause hallucinations when people breathe them in. Other plants will emit special water vapors that create illusions, similar to mirages. Do you understand?"

The two little ones nodded in unison, saying, "I got it, I got it. Now it's scientific."

"So, we are now affected by this mutated plant, so we are wandering around here and can't get out, right? As long as we find that mutated plant, can we get out?" Huangmao asked again.

"This boy is teachable." My uncle stroked his unnecessary beard and said in the tone of the village chief.

At this time, the little fat boy raised his hand weakly: "So, what does the mutant plant look like?"

Uncle Grandpa & Master Li: ········

That's a good question. The road is lined with lush grass, tall trees, and flower beds, so how can one find it? It's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

The four of them were dumbfounded.

Xiao Bai and others who came with Taoist Wang to look for someone had already arrived in front of the teaching building, just in time to catch up with the cleanup of the first batch of mutant animals.

The mutant animals in the teaching building have been almost cleared out. After investigating for a long time, it was discovered that the cause was that several children from aristocratic families had spiritual cores on them. The leakage of spiritual energy attracted mutant animals contaminated by dark matter.

Li Shangxi and others gathered the mutant animals they had killed in front of the teaching building, dug out the dark cores and burned them together. They then warned the people in each teaching building to dispose of all spiritual energy on their bodies in a timely manner.

When Xiao Bai arrived with Lai Fu and Taoist Wang, Li Shangxi was burning the mutant animals.

Taoist Wang greeted Li Shangxi, informed him of Li Ming's whereabouts, and confirmed that the other members of the Li family were doing well with Li Shangxi, which put his mind at ease. After he received the invitation to join the school, Li Zhen had repeatedly urged him to help keep a close eye on the children. He decided to follow Li Shangxi to protect the people in the teaching building and hunt mutant animals, and only then did he feel at ease.

As for Li Ming, I'll leave him to Xiao Bai's family for the time being.

Xiao Bai:·······

Xiao Bai was reluctant to take care of such a big baby. Just as he was about to refuse, he was blocked by a stack of banknotes thrown by Taoist Wang.

"I heard that the prices of things sold in the supermarkets on campus are getting higher and higher. I guess you didn't bring much cash with you when you came here. This will be the food expenses for that kid from the Li family!"

Wow, Xiao Bai exclaimed, wow, there is absolutely no way to refuse this!

After solving Li Ming's problem, Taoist Wang hurried to find Li Shangxi. They had to find the source of these mutant animals as soon as possible to prevent more mutant animals from coming out to hurt people.

Xiao Bai sighed as she watched Daoist Wang leave in a hurry. Her uncle and the others hadn't been found yet, and she was missing another fighting force!

"Fortunately, you are with me!" Xiao Bai patted Lai Fu's head with emotion.

Lai Fu tilted his furry head, rubbed against Xiao Bai's feet, and barked a few times in a coquettish manner.

Speaking of companionship, Xiao Bai suddenly remembered that it seemed like there had been a chirping little thing missing from her ear for a long time, and she didn't know where the book spirit had gone.

At this time, the book spirit that Xiao Bai was thinking about was still sitting on the branch of the mutated banyan tree in a daze.

"We can't steal that box of spirit cores. If we follow this time, won't we get nothing? Sigh~"

Shu Ling held his head and sighed sadly. He looked at the mutated banyan tree that was still trying hard to absorb spiritual energy and resist the invasion of dark matter. This guy was very tenacious. He actually persisted for so long. After being used as the core of the dark domain, he could still maintain a trace of consciousness. This banyan tree was also very powerful.

Such an amazing banyan tree, I really want to include it in the "Illustrated Guide to Animals and Plants"! It's a pity that Xiao Bai is not here, otherwise, I can still improve the favorability of the banyan tree. Also, how can I improve the favorability of the banyan tree now that it is like this?

The book spirit tugged at his hair in annoyance, then thought, this Dark Domain core is so obvious, they should be able to find it soon, right? He looked down at the several mutant plants and animals sitting or crouching around the banyan tree and sighed again.

I don’t know if that woman can defeat these contaminated mutant animals.

Shu Ling thought so and felt that she was just a small person and had to worry about this and that. She was almost going bald. Forget it, forget it. She should think about how to save the banyan tree first.

With this in mind, the book spirit flew to the branch of the banyan tree on the book. Standing on the branch, it flipped through the book, looking for ways to save the banyan tree.

A branch gently stretched out from the side and slowly placed under Shu Ling's feet. These days, the big banyan tree has become accustomed to this little thing often staying on its branches. Occasionally, when it is clear-headed, it will look at this little guy holding his head and sighing at it. The little one is as cute as an elf. Unfortunately, its clarity of mind cannot last long, and it will soon fall into mania and chaos again.

Looking at the branches stretching out from under his feet, Shu Ling sighed again. If the big banyan tree had been awake, it must be a gentle big guy! He didn't know when Xiao Bai would come over!

What he didn't know was that Xiao Bai, whom he was thinking about at this moment, was already on his way.
