Elder Zhen pulled down the rope, and something that looked like a small bowl fell down. Elder Zhen shouted into the car behind, "Attention, cars behind! Attention, there's something going on. Stay alert!"
A voice came from the small bowl: "Understood, ready for battle at any time."
Zhuge Qianxing's expression tightened, giving the impression of a lion just released from its cage, ready to pounce on its prey. Zhu Fanfan seemed to be meeting Zhuge Qianxing for the first time, but thinking about it, it made sense. If he had always been so gentle, how could he have kept a group of arrogant superhumans in check? And why would Grandpa Dan cry to him after being wronged?
Suddenly, Zhu Fanfan saw what looked like a few flowers in front of her, looking beautiful and vibrant in the sunlight. Zhuge Qianxing said, "Those are Tianshan snow lotuses, they've already bloomed. There must be some strange beasts next to them, let's be careful."
Zhu Fanfan asked, "Shall we go down and pick some?"
Zhuge Qianxing replied naturally, "This kind of snow lotus can only be grown high in these snow-capped mountains. It cannot be grown anywhere else. If you want to pick it, you can only wait here. Some doctors have stayed in one place for several years just to pick it. We have finally come across it, how could we possibly miss it?"
Zhu Fanfan asked, "If we pick them, are they ours or are they handed over to the Dragon Group for distribution?"
Zhuge Qianxing glanced at her: "Those who are going together will naturally be assigned tasks together. Don't even think about running away by yourself. The air pressure here is low and the magnetic field is starting to become chaotic. You can't leave the group, or we'll have to look for you. You don't want to delay everyone's journey by yourself, do you?"
Zhu Fanfan: ...She was just asking.
Zhuge Qianxing continued, "But Xue Dao ran to a nearby place and dug it out herself, so it's best to keep it in our sight."
Zhu Fanfan assured, "Even if Xue Dao goes far away, I will sense it if it encounters danger and can summon it back at any time."
Then, turning to Xue Dao, he asked, "Did you remember what Grandpa Zhuge just said?"
Snow Blade nodded obediently, looking even more docile than a rabbit.
Zhuge Qianxing: ...I'm not going to play with these beast tamers anymore.
Elder Zhen had already told the cars behind that they wanted to pick snow lotus. A group of people got out of the cars, with Zhuge Qianxing and Elder Zhen in front and Elder Wu at the back. As they went to see the snow lotus, a giant white python suddenly appeared, its blood-red mouth wide open, and charged at them. Almost instinctively, the group scattered and released their supernatural abilities at the python. In just one round, the python fell down, not even having time to twist twice. Black smoke was still coming out of its mouth when it fell. The fire-type supernatural ability was quite powerful.
Zhu Fanfan was a little stunned. It was over just like that? Zhuge Qianxing saw that Zhu Fanfan was in a daze and nudged her: "What are you spacing out for? Who are the people who came here? It would be a joke if they couldn't even beat a small snake."
They still have the mentality of children; they can't think things through. One group leader, two elders, and all the generals behind them are lieutenant generals. It would be a disgrace if such a team couldn't even beat a python.
Fearing the giant python would explode and kill it, Zhuge Qianxing approached and transformed his spiritual energy into a pillar, poking the python a few times. Seeing no reaction, he poked it a few more times, still without any reaction. Zhuge Qianxing said, "It's dead. Those with good knife skills can dissect it and store it well, so we'll have meat to eat later."
The python is so big that its body should already have some energy. Eating them will enhance one's abilities, or at least stabilize one's own abilities. It's all beneficial and harmless.
Zhu Fanfan could only chuckle twice. She could tell that the giant python was already dead, so how could Grandpa Zhuge not have noticed? Was it fun to stab someone? She never expected Grandpa Zhuge to have such a perverse sense of humor.
Zhuge Qian led the rest of the group to pick snow lotus, and Zhu Fanfan took the opportunity to let Xue Dao look around. Judging by the number of snow lotuses, there were quite a few! Almost unbelievable.
Only five snow lotuses were usable. Snow lotuses are highly poisonous when picked before they bloom, so they only picked the blooming ones, digging out the roots as well. Since there were many people, the girls didn't need to be involved. Zhu Fanfan used her mental energy to watch the snow knife. She saw it find a snow lotus and sweep it aside with its tail, revealing the roots little by little. Carefully exposing the roots, the snow knife ate the snow lotus without attracting attention. Inside its stomach, there was a separate place to preserve the food, but the space was small.
In no time, several plants were dug up. There were still a few that were just starting to grow. No problem, they can be kept in the owner's space. As soon as the owner gave the order, Snow Knife came running over.
Zhuge Qianxing exclaimed, "We've been to the snow mountain several times before, but we never found any snow lotuses. I never expected to find so many just to complete a mission."
Zhu Fanfan asked, "Besides snow lotus, what other medicinal herbs are considered precious on the snow mountain?"
Zhuge Qianxing laughed and said, "There are almost no people here, and the environment is so harsh. All medicinal herbs here are precious, and there may be many herbs that we don't know about."
Zhu Fanfan suddenly looked at Xue Dao and saw that it was stiff. Zhu Fanfan quickly used her mental power to search the surroundings, but found nothing unusual. Seeing that Xue Dao was still tense, she asked, "What's wrong with Xue Dao?"
