The system introduction that everyone saw showed that it was a dragon ball.

Ao Jingyao took the dragon ball and examined it carefully: "The clue I saw is a dragon ball, maybe there is more than one dragon ball!"

Qu Ling'er's mouth twitched as she thought of something. Could it be that she was required to collect seven dragon balls and summon a dragon?

The key is that she already has Nuonuo, the grumpy dragon!

Nuonuo shook her head with certainty and said, "No, if it is a dragon ball cultivated by the dragon clan, we dragons can sense it, even if it is not our own."

Nie Fengjiao recalled what Qu Ling'er and Nuonuo had said, and suddenly said, "What if it wasn't raised by the Dragon Clan?"

Everyone looked at Nie Fengjiao, waiting for her to continue.

"Maybe this is indeed a dragon ball, but it was artificially cultivated."

Yan Kang raised his strong arm, scratched his head and said, "Can this thing be artificially cultivated? It's not chicken or duck eggs."

Ao Jingyao glared at Yan Kang, saying that he only grew in height but not in brains.

Although Jiang Zheyu didn't quite believe it, he still pulled Yan Kang: "Don't talk, if your brain is not enough, just shut up and listen."

Nie Fengjiao was not angry. She walked over and took the dragon ball from Ao Jingyao's hand, feeling the powerful vitality coming from the dragon ball.

"Do you think it's possible that after this bead absorbed a large amount of vitality, it was swallowed by something and then grew flesh and blood. For example, a ghost or a skeleton that had lost its body."

"That's not right! If that's the case, why don't you just swallow the sticky dragon balls instead of contaminating them?"

This is what Qu Ling'er has never understood. Isn't this just taking off pants to fart, a waste of effort twice?

Nuonuo spoke up at this time: "No, the Dragon Ball is too powerful. No one except us dragons can absorb it directly, unless it wants to explode and die. Even the divine dragon will within the Dragon Ball can easily defeat the soul of a non-dragon creature."

Nie Fengjiao nodded. "That's right. The aura of this dragon ball is very gentle, not overbearing. It must be someone behind the scenes who sealed the Nuonuo dragon ball, then used all kinds of foul energy to force the energy out of the Nuonuo dragon ball, and then absorbed it into this dragon ball."

When Ling'er heard the mastermind behind this, she suddenly remembered something.

"I once encountered a turtle in a well. Its defense was very strong. After I killed it, I seemed to hear a hoarse and angry roar."

Lan Mo had been silent until he heard about Qu Ling'er being in danger, then he spoke uncertainly.

"Could it be that the mastermind discovered that you had ruined its plan and sent this turtle to stop you?"

Gu Qing and the others looked at each other, it was not impossible.

Especially Yan Kang, it felt like his brain could hardly keep up. If Qu Ling'er hadn't experienced it herself, she might have had a brain short circuit as well.

"Then Nuonuo, can you absorb this dragon ball?" Nie Fengjiao asked and put the dragon ball in front of Nuonuo.

Nuonuo shook her head hesitantly and said, "It seems impossible. I feel that absorbing this dragon ball will only bring harm to me, not benefit."

When Qu Ling'er heard that Nuonuo couldn't absorb the dragon ball, she didn't think much about it and threw it into the space.

When Nuonuo saw the disappearing dragon ball, she was stunned for a moment.

Now that she discovered that someone was plotting behind the scenes, Qu Ling'er could no longer remain calm.

You still have to work hard to improve your combat effectiveness.

I used to think I was very capable, so I was never in a hurry to do anything.

As a result, any of the other party’s subordinates is so powerful, so how powerful must the black fog itself be?

Her cheat code hasn't been upgraded for a long time. It seems she needs to increase her popularity quickly and repair her cheat code as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Qu Ling'er looked at everyone and said, "Jiaojiao, how much land on our island has been planted now?"

"We've only used one-tenth of the island. If we use more, Gu Qing and I will be overwhelmed."

Qu Ling'er thought for a moment and said, "How about this? Brother Ao and the others will go back with you. We'll quickly increase the planting area, and then trade at a fair price under my name. I need to quickly increase my reputation. The higher my reputation, the higher my combat power will be. You don't have to worry about falling behind in combat power just by planting. I'll provide you with good things regularly. What do you think?"

Ao Jingyao and his companions were exactly what they wanted. There was safety in numbers, and they didn't have to worry about survival conditions. It would also improve their combat effectiveness. Only a fool would disagree.

Lan Mo suppressed his smile. From now on, he could fight with Ling'er openly.

Bujie hesitated: "Amitabha, I'll just forget it!"

It's not that he's aloof, but he has his own reasons. If he stays with these people every day, what if...

How could Qu Ling'er give up this great support? You know, there are still many medicinal herbs on the island waiting for Bujie to refine!

"Little Master, what are you afraid of? Are we going to eat you or something? I really need you to help me make medicine. If there's anything you're not satisfied with, just tell me. I'll make clear arrangements for your food, clothing, shelter, and transportation."

Bujie sighed. He was not afraid of being eaten, but afraid... that he would eat them!

"Poor monk..."

Just as he was about to refuse again, Bujie's bitter and helpless look suddenly changed, and his whole temperament became unusually cold.

"Okay! Since you welcome me so much, it would be disrespectful if I refuse again. However, I might be a little arbitrary in refining the medicine, I hope you don't mind!"

"I don't mind, I don't mind!"

Although Qu Ling'er was confused for a moment, she didn't think much about it when she heard Bujie agreed.

But Ao Jingyao and Nie Fengjiao frowned slightly.

"Okay, the time has come. Since you're not leaving, there's no need to send you to the beach. Jiaojiao and Gu Qing will go back first, and then we can just summon you over."

Nie Fengjiao nodded and returned to the island first, followed by Gu Qing.

Then Ao Jingyao and his companions also disappeared one by one in front of Qu Linger, and were summoned to the island by Nie Fengjiao and Gu Qing.

Only Lan Mo refused the invitation and stayed with Qu Ling'er.

Qu Ling'er asked in surprise: "Lan Mo, why don't you go back?"

Lan Mo's ears were clearly red enough to bleed, but he still looked straight into Qu Ling'er's clear eyes.

"I don't want to go back. I want to follow you. Wherever you are, I'll go."

Qu Ling'er had a headache. It was all because she was kicked in the head by a donkey. Otherwise, how could she have kissed Lan Mo so rashly!

Then I won’t be relied upon by this guy.

But, my family, who understands!

Seeing his face that was so close to my heart, I couldn't bear to refuse.

Just as he was about to persuade her again, Lan Mo quickly said, "Ling'er, I can handle a beating."

Qu Linger: “…”

What does it mean?

Seeing Qu Ling'er standing there in a daze, Lan Mo explained it again considerately.

"Before, Helian Hong wanted to pursue you, and you asked him if he could take a beating. I mean, I can take a beating. As long as you don't drive me away, you can beat me as much as you want, okay?"
