Haibu explained, "I am the high priest, and I have some healing abilities... It's a kind of transmission of faith, I guess? But what you call a ritual here is feudal superstition. It doesn't require any mental energy. I saw you were in a lot of pain, so I'll heal you."
Zhu Fanfan didn't believe it: "Really?"
Haibu said confidently, "This is an ancient treatment method in our tribe. I have done it many times, and nothing will happen."
Seeing that Hai Bu showed no abnormality, Zhu Fanfan sincerely said, "Thank you."
Haibu interrupted, "You don't need to thank me. Even if it weren't you, I would have helped save people. We are friends and partners."
He intervened because he saw her mental state had just gone berserk and he was afraid she would collapse. Besides, it was really difficult to get her to say thank you. He had known her for so long, and she had always kept everyone at arm's length and never spoken to him. Now, at least she was willing to acknowledge him.
Zhu Fanfan asked, "How did you wake up?"
Haibu replied, "I just entered an illusion and almost got lost in it. I barely managed to break free. What about you? Were you also bewitched?"
The illusion he had just experienced was so real that it stirred up his deepest regrets. He could no longer distinguish between reality and illusion. At the moment his master pulled out a gun, he directly rebelled and killed his master to escape. He didn't want Fanfan to know that he had betrayed his master and ancestors.
Zhu Fanfan truthfully said, "I knew from the beginning that it was fake. No matter how similar they are, they are not real, so I attacked directly. However, it seems that they gave me some power, but my body can't take it. Fortunately, you were there."
As for meeting my aunt, I only need to tell my grandfather; no one else needs to know.
Haib frowned: "I have nothing."
Is it because they also uphold filial piety here, and disrespecting elders will not be rewarded?
Zhu Fanfan could only say, "You might be unlucky." Perhaps she was lucky.
Before long, everyone gradually woke up. The last to wake up was Zhuge Qianxing. He was relieved to see that everyone was alright and said, "Everyone, go hide under the statue. There's going to be an earthquake here soon. Elder Wu and I will cover the rear. Hurry."
Without question, the group of people all ran to the base of the statue. As soon as they took cover, they felt a violent tremor from the ground, and a tsunami-like storm of snow and sand filled the air. They couldn't even open their eyes, and the deafening roar nearly deafened them. Even long after the snow and sand stopped, their ears were still ringing.
After waiting for what felt like forever, her ears finally felt better. Zhu Fanfan asked, "Grandpa Zhuge, how did you know there would be an earthquake here?"
Looking around, it was clear that everywhere except where they were was riddled with cracks from the earthquake. The speed at which it happened was simply too fast for them to react. Even with their special abilities, they couldn't guarantee they would be unharmed. The power of nature was terrifying.
Zhuge Qianxing said nothing, but simply asked, "How was your harvest?"
Several people were hanging their heads, and Zhuge Qianxing comforted them, "It's alright, coming out here is an experience, it's worth it."
The group exchanged glances: "They gave us a lot of superpowers, but our mental strength was too weak to fully absorb them, so we stopped receiving them later."
Yuan Yuanman was even more disappointed: "We entered the illusion together, and we saw how others used the power of water and fire elements. It was breathtaking. In comparison, the two of us together were like elementary school students splashing water. We used to think we were very powerful. This is such a blow."
Xi Yan said, "I obtained a fire-type token, which gives me an inexhaustible supply of fire-type abilities whenever I want to cultivate."
He glanced at everyone and said smugly, "It has recognized me as its master, and no one else can use it except me."
A group of people were consumed by jealousy and immediately surrounded Xi Yan, intending to take revenge. Xi Yan ran away at once, and the group immediately gave chase, creating quite a commotion.
Zhu Fanfan looked on with envy: "Their relationship must be very good."
Zhuge Qianxing said proudly, "Of course, I trained all of these people myself. They have similar personalities and get along well. If it weren't for the fact that it would be a waste of resources for them to go on missions together, I would have preferred to have them form a team!"
Zhu Fanfan asked, "Did you gain the most?"
Zhuge Qianxing said, "I have received the inheritance of the Ice and Snow Goddess. I will write a record when I get back. There are too many things involved, so I can't tell you now. However, the danger here has been resolved. There is no problem with the magnetic field causing trouble. There are only natural environmental issues. As long as you don't do anything reckless, nothing will happen."
He had already learned about the origin of this place and its mysterious power. There were still some problems to solve that he couldn't solve alone; someone else needed to make the decision. Therefore, he couldn't say anything.
Zhu Fanfan didn't ask any further questions. As for the two elders, they must have also gained superpowers, as they were clearly radiant and full of energy.
The people in front had made enough noise, so they released the two vehicles, put them in their positions, and prepared to go back. They had already marked the way down the mountain when they came, so they could return directly once they were connected.
The journey back was smooth. Even after arriving home, Zhu Fanfan still dictated her summary, which her grandfather wrote down, and then she copied it herself. Since there were still a few days of holiday left, Zhu Fanfan started working with the energy she had acquired at home. Other people's energy could be absorbed as much as they could, and there was no follow-up. Hers was directly injected into her body, and even if it wasn't fully digested, it wouldn't disappear. It would just wait for the next digestion.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was home, Zhu Fanfan entered the space. The little fox, having been nourished, had doubled in size. Upon seeing Zhu Fanfan, it immediately came up and circled around him, looking incredibly cute.
The little fox's face was full of satisfaction. There were mountains, water, and sweet dew here. It felt like it had fallen into paradise. It was so excited that it couldn't sleep every night, afraid of being driven away. When it saw people coming, it knew that it had something to do with them and that it would be right to coax them.
Zhu Fanfan said, "Is your family the mountain god? The mountain god gave you some things, a treasure, which should be for you. I'll take them out for you to use now."
The little fox happily rolled around a few times and made a babyish sound. Zhu Fanfan took out a bead and threw it directly to the little fox. The little fox disappeared as soon as it touched the bead. The little fox visibly expanded, expanded, and expanded again, and in the blink of an eye, it became the size of a lion.
The little fox is cute and docile, but the grown fox looks ferocious and scary. The little fox fiercely opens its mouth wide, ready to bite, with a sharp claw sticking out like a scimitar, about to attack.
