Chapter 13 Changes (Revised).

Mo Qi was pondering this in his mind, just about to do so, when he suddenly noticed a glowing green transparent crystal not far away.

It's rhomboid in shape and looks like a kernel.

This should be the thing that looked like an inner core that I saw inside the mutated plant's body before.

In an instant, Mo Qi realized that this must be the core of the mutated plant's power. Although its shape was different from what he had seen in the cultivation world, he was certain that this was the core of the mutated plant.

In short, this is the inner core of that mutated sunflower.

Instinctively, Mo Qi felt that this thing would be good for him.

Cultivators always trust their intuition, so Mo Qi didn't hesitate and started trying anything as a last resort.

He lunged forward and, with all his might, grabbed the crystal core, holding it firmly in his hand. Then, he began absorbing the energy within the crystal core at top speed.

Unlike the sunflower that had become extremely ugly and bizarre, Mo Qi was surprised to find that the crystal core energy of this mutated sunflower, although powerful, was unexpectedly gentle.

It not only alleviated his current symptoms but also accelerated the integration of his body, preventing him from being overwhelmed by his own soul...

However, this process is not easy.

His dantian was already saturated with demonic energy, and now he was forced to absorb all the energy within this crystal core.

The collision of the two energies churned within his body, which was like a vessel being repeatedly refined.

Just as it was about to break through and shatter, it was again barely able to gather back together thanks to the help of the crystal core it had just absorbed, over and over again.

When he finally digested all the energy in the crystal core, Mo Qi finally couldn't help but lose consciousness completely.

Little did he know that at the moment he fainted, the demonic energy within his body began to be rapidly absorbed.

Even the demonic energy accumulated in his body was not enough, so his body began to automatically absorb the surrounding demonic energy, forming a demonic energy vortex that was invisible to the naked eye of others.

On the other side, after Mo Xiu finished relieving herself and returned to her resting spot, she found that the person who was supposed to be waiting for her by the car was nowhere to be found.

"Mo Qi, Mo Qi, where are you?" Mo Xiu called out anxiously twice.

Receiving no response, he quickly searched the surrounding area, but still couldn't find the person he wanted to see.

Mo Xiu knew that he had given prior instructions, and based on his understanding of men, the other party would never leave on his own.

In particular, having spent several days together, Mo Xiu was even more certain that although the man didn't seem very bright, he was generally quite obedient to her.

He had told him not to leave without permission before he left, and he didn't believe that the other person would be so disobedient. Besides, it was inconvenient for men to move around.

"Has anyone seen Mo Qi?" Mo Xiu asked the group members with a cold and serious expression.

The group looked at each other, seemingly unsure of the answer.

Mo Xiu keenly sensed that things were not so simple, and his eyes swept over everyone with a gloomy look.

For Mo Xiu, everyone here was unimportant. The only important man wasn't here.

Something's not right!

If Mo Qi got into trouble because of these people's schemes, he would never let them off!

Mo Xiu's anger surged. Noticing Mo Xiu's terrifying gaze, Xi Wenlin quickly lowered his head, not daring to meet her eyes.

Mo Xiu also keenly sensed that something was wrong with him. Could it be that this matter was related to Xi Wenlin?

Seeing this, Lu Pingwan, who was not far away, remembered that she seemed to have seen Xi Wenlin walk towards the direction of the SUV where Mo Xiu was.

However, she was busy with other things at the time and didn't notice much.

The young girl pursed her lips and gestured towards Xi Wenlin's direction to Mo Xiu.

With Lu Pingwan's confirmation, Mo Xiu walked towards Xi Wenlin without saying a word.

He grabbed the other man by the collar and lifted him up, saying in an icy voice, "Tell me, where did you take Mo Qi?"

"I...I don't know, this has nothing to do with me!"

Xi Wenlin frantically denied it, trying hard to break free from Mo Xiu's shackles, only to find that his strength was no match for hers.

Mo Xiu didn't believe Xi Wenlin's claim that it had nothing to do with him; he had a deep understanding of this man's hypocrisy and selfishness.

However, in his memory, Xi Wenlin had never been particularly bold. Unless there was a huge benefit or a powerful backer, this man probably wouldn't do anything.

So I never expected that in such a short time while I was away, the other party would actually dare to pull such a stunt.

Then, he grabbed Xi Wenlin by the neck and said in an icy voice, "Speak! If you don't tell the truth, you'll die!"

Feeling the increasing pressure on his neck and the intense killing intent in Mo Xiu's eyes, Xi Wenlin finally realized that what the other party said was not a lie.

Mo Xiu was actually planning to kill herself for the sake of a fool.

"No, don't kill me! I'll talk!"

Xi Wenlin spoke with difficulty, clutching his neck in discomfort, and pointed in the opposite direction from where he had just thrown Mo Qi away.

Before he could finish speaking, Mo Xiu threw him to the ground.

However, before Mo Xiu could take any action, a person who had just returned from using the restroom interrupted, saying, "No, what he said is wrong!"

I saw it just before I went to the restroom. He pulled that guy named Mo Qi away, clearly in the opposite direction he pointed.

Upon hearing this, Xi Wenlin shuddered and angrily turned around to look at the short-haired man behind him who had exposed his lie.

The guy with the crew cut was surnamed Zhuang and named Zhuang Mingde. He was usually not very noticeable in the team, had a somewhat stubborn personality, and was as skinny as a monkey.

Who knew this person would suddenly appear and sabotage him? Could it be because he took a few boxes of cookies from him when they were looking for supplies together last time, and he's holding a grudge and wants revenge?

Xi Wenlin gritted his teeth and quickly denied it, saying, "No, Mo Xiu, he's lying."

Upon hearing this, Mo Xiu snorted coldly and said, "Very good!" Then, she kicked Xi Wenlin in the knee, breaking one of his legs.

Unfortunately, Mo Xiu was still worried about the danger Mo Qi might be facing at the moment, and couldn't waste any more time on this person.

So, after that kick, he hurriedly ran in the direction that the young man surnamed Zhuang had pointed out.

To increase his speed, Mo Xiu even used his wind-based abilities. Fortunately, because he was heading in the right direction, he found Mo Qi in no time.

Seeing the man lying unconscious on the ground, Mo Xiu's heart skipped a beat. Noticing the zombie lying on the ground beside him, her expression turned even more grim.

"Mo Qi, Mo Qi, how are you?"

Mo Xiu quickly helped the man sit up, letting him lean against him, and asked him anxiously. Even though he felt that Mo Qi wasn't afraid of the zombie virus, he was still nervous.

However, the person in his arms was unconscious and unable to answer his questions.

Noticing the other person's pale face and the sweat on their forehead, Mo Xiu was filled with worry.

Thankfully, Mo Qi is still alive. But why is the man's breath so weak?

He quickly scanned the man's body, but there seemed to be no signs of zombie bites. He wondered how Mo Qi had managed to deal with the zombie.

With her brows furrowed, Mo Xiu called out softly several more times, but the man in her arms remained unresponsive.

If it wasn't a zombie, what else could have caused him to fall into a coma?

Mo Xiu scanned the surroundings and found a lot of strange ashes on the ground, but she couldn't tell what they were.

He couldn't understand it, and didn't want to waste any more time. Having no other choice, he picked the person up and carried them back to the team's encampment.

"Does anyone here know medicine? Come and take a look at him!" Mo Xiu called out to the people in the group while holding the person.

Although he didn't think any of these people knew medicine, he couldn't help but ask because of the current situation.

Unfortunately, the result was as he had expected. The people around him looked at each other in bewilderment; it was clear that there wasn't even a single doctor present.

Xi Wenlin clutched his aching broken leg, and seeing Mo Qi's uncertain fate, he felt a surge of satisfaction.

Although he was discovered for what he did, Mo Qi didn't seem to get away with it either. Judging from his appearance, he was probably bitten by that zombie from before.

He believed that the other party would soon turn into a zombie, at which point Mo Xiu would have no choice but to give up on him, even if she was unwilling.

Already filled with anxiety and resentment because he didn't know when Mo Qi would wake up, Mo Xiu's fists clenched so tightly they cracked when he met Xi Wenlin's gloating gaze.

Now that the man has been found, Mo Xiu no longer intends to tolerate it. He places the man in a spacious back seat, making sure he is comfortable.

Then he called out to Lu Pingwan, "Xiaowan, come and help me take care of Mo Qi."

After finishing these tasks, Mo Xiu stood up, looked at Xi Wenlin with an icy expression, and walked towards him step by step.
