"Why didn't you say so sooner?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Wuxie was genuinely angered. If these people had spoken to him earlier, he wouldn't have almost gotten injured.
So what kind of situations hasn't he encountered with all those insects? Why would he be afraid of a few insects?
"Our benefactor has misunderstood. We really did want to say that, but..."
Upon hearing this, the three mermaids looked at him with a wronged expression and whispered, "We really wanted to tell you, but you ran so fast that we couldn't keep up at all. We didn't have a chance to say anything."
Shi Wuxie: "..."
Upon hearing this, Shi Wuxie was speechless, because he seemed to have vaguely heard them saying something.
But at that time he was in a hurry to get on his way and found it a bit annoying, so he didn't listen carefully.
Looking back now, there really is no reason to blame anyone else.
"So, how can we get rid of those bugs?"
Shi Wuxie thought for a moment and looked at the three mermaids, asking, "The liquid released by these insects is very special; it can even melt my barrier. I'm afraid I can't get close to them easily."
"That's right. It's because of the existence of those insects that these basil trees can survive so well in this highly competitive place, and they even occupy the entire mountain."
The mermaid explained, "In fact, the tree itself carries a special kind of poison, and it is because of that poison that it has a special taste."
"Would I be in danger if I came into contact with that kind of poison?"
Shi Wuxie thought for a moment and asked, "Before you sent me to cut down the tree, did you consider my safety?"
"That's really not the case."
Shi Wuxie asked casually, but to his surprise, the three mermaids nodded very honestly and said, "We just wanted to repay your kindness and take you to get the salt crystal. We didn't think about anything else."
"So, now please think this over carefully, okay?"
If it weren't for the fact that now is not the time to tear off all pretenses, he really wanted to slap these three unreliable mermaids to death. "What method do you need to cut down this basil tree and build my ship?"
"It's very simple. Just kill all the stink bugs on the tree."
The three of them spoke very simply, with an air of self-righteousness, "As for how to kill them, it's also very simple. All you need is to have the Kadsura fruit, which is what they fear most."
“Kadsura?” Shi Wuxie was taken aback.
"Yes, as long as you have that thing, the stink bugs will leave immediately."
The mermaid said confidently, "Then you can cut down trees without worry."
"So, where can we find the Kadsura fruit?" Shi Wuxie asked again.
For some reason, he had a feeling that he was going in circles.
It seems that the need is endless and ever-increasing.
"The Kadsura fruit is our mermaids' favorite food, and we have it on our bodies."
Just when Shi Wuxie felt his patience was about to run out, the three mermaids finally acted reliably for once, readily taking out the Kassapa macrophylla. "However, this is also a highly poisonous substance. Please be careful when using it, my benefactor, so as not to poison yourself."
"This place of yours is truly poisonous everywhere."
Upon hearing this, Shi Wuxie, who was just about to catch the object with his bare hands, had no choice but to wrap the Jiazhutao in something.
