After bandaging the wild giant sheep's wounds, Luo Xinglan went to check on the black raccoon. Although it was still unconscious, its condition had improved considerably, and it should be out of danger.
Luo Xinglan took out the seashell and blew on it.
Now, the only thing she needs to confirm is Becky's condition.
After the shell finished ringing, Oin reappeared on the spot.
Luo Xinglan: "How is Becky?"
When Becky was mentioned, Oin's expression became somewhat strange: "It's strange, Becky has been having recurring fevers."
Luo Xinglan frowned: "Recurring fever? It's still not better?"
According to Wild Giant Sheep, Becky's condition should be improving, so why is she having recurring fevers?
Could it be that the Wild Giant Sheep was lying to her?
No, judging from the Wild Giant Sheep's performance today, it has no reason to lie to her.
So her concerns were valid.
Obsidian has different effects on animals!
The wild giant sheep was only slightly affected, so it assumed Becky would be fine too.
But why did Becky react so strongly?
Luo Xinglan couldn't understand it.
After a moment of silence, she asked Oin again, "Do you think it's possible that obsidian is just a medium, and that the real force affecting the animals is something else?"
Oin was confused by what she said: "Obsidian is a medium? That's a very novel idea. Explain it to me in detail."
Luo Xinglan shook her head: "Actually, I'm not quite sure either; it's just a guess."
Her gaze fell on the white raccoon.
Proving her guess is also very simple; the white raccoon can do it.
O'In followed her gaze and looked over: "Does that white raccoon prove your guess?"
Luo Xinglan nodded: "That's right."
So she slowly walked up to the white raccoon.
The white raccoon sat on the ground, seemingly lost in thought, and turned around to look when it sensed someone behind it.
Upon seeing that it was Luo Xinglan, it greeted her listlessly, "Little Blue, it's you..."
Luo Xinglan simply sat down next to it: "Little White, I have a few questions I want to ask you."
The white raccoon sat up straight: "Okay, go ahead and ask. I'll tell you everything I know."
Luo Xinglan: "Do you feel stronger every time you receive a blessing from the gods?"
White Raccoon thought carefully for a moment, then shook his head: "It doesn't seem like it. I remember the first time I received the blessing from the gods, I felt pain all over my body, as if my body was about to explode."
Luo Xinglan then asked, "Do all animals react this way? Do they feel pain all over their bodies like you?"
Before White Raccoon could answer, Black Crow chimed in, "No, I didn't feel much after receiving the blessing from the gods for the first time. I just felt uncomfortable for a while and then it was fine."
Luo Xinglan then noticed Black Crow, and she was somewhat surprised: "Huh, you're still here?"
Black Crow: "Yeah, I don't know how to get back."
Luo Xinglan understood that the black crow was brought back by the frog cub, and if it wasn't sent back, it definitely wouldn't be able to return to Black Wind Island on its own.
Setting the black crow aside for the moment, Luo Xinglan asked the white raccoon, "Okay, let's continue. What happened next? Did you feel sore all over after each blessing from the gods?"
The white raccoon shook its head again: "I only felt pain all over my body the first time, and then I didn't feel anything. But last time I felt very tired, like my whole body was being drained."
Black Crow couldn't help but interject, "No, I'm only a little tired, I'll be fine soon!"
Luo Xinglan looked at Black Crow's message thoughtfully.
This is just an ordinary black crow, without any skills. After being "blessed by the gods", it was almost unaffected.
The white raccoon, however, was a third-tier monster, and after receiving the "blessing from the gods," it was in excruciating pain.
The Wild Giant Sheep is also a normal monster and is minimally affected by obsidian.
Becky... is a special monster, but is greatly affected by obsidian.
Luo Xinglan's eyes lit up.
She finally understood!
It seems that obsidian is indeed used as a "medium".
Obsidian imparts immense power to already strong animals, while it provides only minimal power to weaker animals.
This explains why the Wild Giant Sheep was unharmed, while Becky reacted so strongly.
But where does the "power" of obsidian come from?
After thinking for a moment, Luo Xinglan asked the white raccoon, "Do you know anything about the weasel's past?"
The white raccoon scratched its head: "I don't know. To be honest, even now, in my eyes it is the majestic Jade Wolf from legends, not some weasel."
Despite being such a tall and mighty black jade wolf, everyone calls it a weasel.
But it couldn't see the weasel at all. Was there something wrong with its eyes?
"I do know a little about the past of weasels."
The wild giant ram approached us unnoticed and spoke casually.
Luo Xinglan looked at it.
The wild giant ram had only one horn left on its head, and the other side was wrapped in thick gauze, making it look rather disheveled.
It slowly sat down and said, "I heard it from my brother. The weasel came from another island, which is called... well, never mind. It was injured by a very powerful animal and later came to Black Wind Island by chance. My father healed its wounds."
White Raccoon: "You mean, the current wolf king is the same weasel from before?"
Wild Giant Sheep: "That's right."
White Raccoon: "But I've seen that weasel you mentioned before, and it's completely different from the Wolf King!"
So it really is a problem with its eyes?
Luo Xinglan: "It's a mirage."
White Raccoon: "What is 'a mirage'?"
Luo Xinglan explained, "It's the weasel's skill to create illusions. You're all immersed in the illusions it creates, so naturally you can't see its true form."
The white raccoon still didn't understand: "But I'm not even on Black Wind Island anymore, so how could I still be controlled by its illusions? Is Mo Yu... the weasel really that strong?"
Luo Xinglan's thoughts became completely clear: "I speculate that the weasel discovered an extremely powerful force, but it could not directly utilize that force. So it used obsidian as a medium to transfer this force to the animals on the island, thus purifying the force. Then, under the guise of divine blessing, it took back the purified force from you."
In this way, everything seems to make sense.
Wild Giant Sheep nodded approvingly: "I agree with Xiao Luo."
