Chapter 1069: Where did the baby come from in the forest?
Bai Wuwen's voice came from afar, and Gu Yin immediately sped up and ran towards that direction.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Gu Yin caught up with Bai Wuwen and Chi Xing and asked anxiously.
Bai Wuwen held up what he was holding and handed it to Gu Yin: "Take a look at this thing! Take a look!!!"
"A baby? How can there be a baby here?!" Lan Yan was shocked when she saw the fair-skinned, chubby baby with arms and legs in front of her.
Bai Wuwen: "...Whose baby has grass growing on its head?"
Chi Xing: "...Whose baby doesn't have facial features?"
Blue Flame: "...The mutation is perfectly normal!!"
Gu Yin took it, looked it over, smelled it, and weighed it in her hand.
“This is ginseng. This used to be a wild ginseng field. Further ahead is our own ginseng medicinal field. Chi Xing, go over and dig one up to take a look.”
Blue Flame was stunned: "This thing is ginseng?! Holy crap!! What's the difference between this and the ginseng spirits on TV?! This is insane! How much is this?!"
"It weighs about ten pounds and is as tall as my calf. When we dug it up before, it was only about the size of two fingers. After being soaked in the lake water, it must have become a spirit." Gu Yin plucked a bit of the whiskers and put it in her mouth to chew.
Nodding: "Full of spiritual energy!"
"Here they come! They haven't grown into babies yet, but they're about the size of radishes! They must weigh three or four pounds!" Bai Wuwen handed the ginseng to Gu Yin.
Gu Yin glanced at them and nodded: "Put these two away and take them back. Don't touch the rest."
Gu Ran looked around: "Aren't you going to take them back? These are practically rare treasures. If you don't take them back, the little animals will eat them."
Gu Yin shook her head: "They may take shape in a while. This is their opportunity. We don't need such strong tonics. One pill is enough. Besides, there will be an ecological cycle here in the future. When they come in for actual combat, these things can also become a gimmick."
After Gu Yin finished speaking, she picked up the machete and prepared to walk towards the exit.
"Roar!! I can't take it anymore, I'm going to transform into a beast!! The spiritual energy here is too strong! I can't hold it in!!"
Suddenly, a huge white wolf, over a meter tall and more than two meters long, appeared before them!
"roar!!"
Looking at the shattered clothes scattered on the ground, Gu Yin opened her mouth several times before she could finally speak.
"Isn't the beast transformation supposed to only make your arms or legs look like an animal while the rest of your body remains a normal human? How did you turn into a wolf?!"
This never happened before when Blue Flame transformed into its beast form!
White Wolf squatted down, saying, "That was half-beast transformation, this is full-beast transformation. Senior Jin Wanli told me before that the spiritual energy here must be too abundant. If I didn't transform into a beast, I would explode. Now I don't feel uncomfortable at all, but rather quite comfortable."
Gu Yin: "...It's alright. Just stay here and don't run around. I'll draw some blood from you first."
Taking out her personal equipment, Gu Yin drew blood from Lan Yan. After finishing, she continued forward.
Seeing her like this, the others followed her.
Gu Yin pushed through the vines and weeds, making her way forward with uneven steps, and finally arrived at her destination ten minutes later.
Where the two large trees once stood, there is no trace of them anymore, leaving two large pits filled with vines.
"Where's the tree? Did it run away?" someone who knew about the tree asked in confusion.
Gu Yin looked around and shook her head: "There are no traces. It must have become a spirit and escaped. Let's go to the lake to take a look."
Bai Wuwen, who had been somewhat playful, also fell silent.
When they came, they said something would become a spirit, but everyone just took it as a joke. Even if it did, they thought it wouldn't happen so quickly. But now they've been proven wrong. None of the humans have even made a breakthrough yet, and the tree has already become a spirit. The responsibility on their shoulders is immense!
The lakeside was quiet. Gu Yin looked at Chi Xing: "Shall we go down and take a look?"
Upon hearing this, Chi Xing nodded, transformed into a dragon, and Gu Yin sat on it. The two of them immediately leaped into the lake.
"Let's go check over the crack."
The bottom of the water was still so dark that they couldn't see their surroundings. It took them a while to reach the crevice.
Several more cracks appeared, but the water that was gushing out was kept out.
"It seems to be the work of Heaven. We don't need to look here anymore. Let's circle around the bottom of the lake and see if there are any dangerous things."
After circling the lake again and finding no potential danger, the two went ashore.
Seeing the two of them come ashore, Lan Yan immediately stood up straight, breathed a sigh of relief, and asked in a muffled voice, "Are you alright?"
Gu Yin shook her head: "It's alright. It's getting late. Let's walk from the lake to the foot of the mountain. I've already gathered everything we need. Let's take the old route out and clear the way again. Let's go, so we won't have to go through so much trouble next time we come in."
As for the other side of the lake, we don't have time today. We'll go back and take a look later. This is already a new environment, and it's unwise to stay overnight in an unfamiliar and dangerous area.
Along the way, we didn't encounter anything strange. The original experimental area and residential area were completely abandoned and unrecognizable. If you didn't know the situation, you would think it was some kind of ancient ruin!
Just as they reached the halfway point of the mountain, Lan Yan leaped into the bushes beside him: "Bai Wuwen, get me a set of clothes!"
The crowd, thinking something had happened, were speechless.
Upon hearing his words, Gu Yin quickly took out the blueprints to mark the location and then planted some plants nearby.
When Lan Yan came out, he was back in human form.
Gu Yin finished packing her things: "It seems this is the dividing line. I don't know if it's your dividing line or if it's the same for everyone. I'll have to test it later. Let's go back!"
When Gu Yin and the others returned to the base, it was already completely dark.
"You're finally back! I hope nothing bad happened!" Ever since they went into the mountains this morning, Duan Chunjie hadn't had a moment's peace. His heart was heavy, fearing something had gone wrong! But he also knew they had no choice but to go!
Gu Yin smiled and waved her hand: "It's nothing, there's nothing seriously wrong. We'll go into the mountains again tomorrow, to the other side of the lake. If everything goes well, once I've completed the experiments and tests, we can basically open the outer perimeter for them to train in."
