“Fine, here you go!”

Mu You stuffed a power bank into the backpack and finally got Cola to stop its ruckus.

However, it quickly popped its head out of the bag again: “Don’t forget to bring the cat food and water too!”

“Come on, we’re just going on a trip, not moving out permanently!” Mu You looked at it speechlessly.

“But who knows what will happen on the road, meow?

What if we’re unable to return in a day, do you want me to starve?” Cola argued persuasively.

Mu You thought about it and realized it had a point.

They were headed to a primal mountain range, and who knew if something unexpected might delay their journey?

With this in mind, he grabbed some dried food and bottled water, and tossed a bag of cat food in as well.

The backpack was spacious enough, so these items hardly took up any space.

Before leaving, Mu You left a note for Little Ya and Lin Xue on the door, informing them that he would be out for the day and asking them to take care of the shop in his absence.

He also requested that they sign for any deliveries on his behalf.

Once all that was done, he hurried out the door with his backpack and hailed a taxi through a ride-hailing app.

“Drive to Qubai County, please.”

Mu You was cautious and didn’t directly mention his destination as Qubai Mountain.

Instead, he set the location to a small county about ten miles away from the mountain.

He would find an excuse to get off the taxi when he got there anyway.

“That’s pretty far…”

Upon hearing that he was expected to drive close to a hundred kilometers, the driver appeared somewhat reluctant.

He had gotten up early due to an earthquake, intending to make a quick round, but he hadn’t anticipated getting such a long ride right off the bat…

He was now contemplating whether or not to take the job.

“The fare is a thousand, I’ll transfer 500 to you now, and the rest when we get there.

I’m in a rush, please hurry!” Mu You dismissed further discussion with a display of his cash power.

“Alright then!

Take a seat!”

The sound of a successful payment alerted by his payment app got the driver going.

Without another word, he hit the road with a press of the gas pedal.

Thankfully, there weren’t many cars out on the early morning streets.

The taxi sped by and quickly left the city behind.

Once they hit the freeway, Mu You exhaled, took off his backpack, and leaned back in his seat.

“Driver, wake me up when we get there.”

“No problem!”

Mu You closed his eyes and seemingly fell asleep.

However, in actuality, he switched his vision to his Battle Eagle.

He maneuvered his Battle Eagle to follow the taxi from high above, meanwhile scanning the road conditions all around.

A hundred kilometers wasn’t that far. freewebnoveℓ.com

In fact, the driver managed to cover the distance in one and a half hours by flooring the gas pedal.

The view outside the window started to become increasingly desolate as they entered a road surrounded by sparse populations.

The vegetation on both sides quickly thickened.

By then, Mu You, through the eagle’s perspective, finally noticed something.

Barriers had blocked off the entrance road to the mountain ahead, with a military truck and a few police vehicles parked in front.

Fully armed soldiers and police officers were standing guard, preventing any car from entering the mountain.

“The military has been dispatched and they’ve cordoned off the area…”

Mu You furrowed his brow, finding the situation problematic.

It seemed impossible for his taxi to pass through, and he began considering whether to get off earlier to avoid a potential military interrogation.

Just then, the driver on the driver seat began to murmur to himself.

“Ah, the chat group is saying Qubai Mountain has been sealed off, and they’re not letting any cars pass.

I’m not sure what to do now…”

“Sealed off?” Mu You feigned confusion, though he already knew the answer.

“Yeah, they say some local military garrison has completely locked it down.

It’s airtight.

One of my buddies tried to sneak around via a smaller side road, but he got caught and was kicked out.”

As traffic congestion started to appear before them, the driver slowed down the car and sneak a glance backward, earnestly asking, “Buddy, maybe we should take another route…”

“Wait!

Stop the car!”

The driver was about to ask Mu You for his opinion, but Mu You suddenly cried out startingly, which gave him a fright.

He hurriedly slammed the brakes, and with a bewildered look on his face, asked, “What’s…

wrong?”

“Thanks, this is fine…”

Mu You quickly transferred the remaining 500 of the fare and promptly jumped out of the still taxi, rushing towards the roadside.

“Are you sure about this?

There’s not a soul or shop in sight here, are you sure you don’t need me to wait…” The driver tried to protest, but Mu You was already far away, leaving a trailing voice that said, ‘No need.’

The reason for Mu You’s sudden rush was quite simple: through the eyes of his Battle Eagle, he had spotted an odd-looking plant that looked like a white radish, running around a grassy patch in the forest!!

Mu You didn’t recognize what it was, but such a fantastical spectacle could only be attributed to a magical creature!

After a short jog along the mountain road, Mu You leaped off the edge of the several-meter-high forest.

After a tuck and roll, he landed safely, ensuring there was no one around before quickly morphing into the form of a watchman and putting on the Invisibility Cloak, and then rushed towards the location in his memory.

The forest was dense with foliage.

Tall trees and vines interwined and the ground was blanketed with a soft layer of dead branches and fallen leaves.

The vine tendrils and messy creeping plants on the ground made the journey difficult.

After about ten minutes of strenuous walk through the dense forest, Mu You finally emerged onto the meadow situated on a hillside, the place he had seen earlier.

However, there was no sign of the mobile plant.

Fortunately, Mu You had instructed his Battle Eagle to hover nearby, keeping an eye on the area.

He also occasionally switched to the Battle Eagle’s perspective while on the way, so he was certain that the mobile plant hadn’t escaped.

It most likely hid in this grassland upon detecting approaching human presence.

“Cola, come out!”

Instead of immediately searching, Mu You first opened his backpack and called out to the depths of it.

“Hmm?

Are we there, meow?”

Cola poked its head out of the bag, observing its surroundings with alertness.

When it confirmed no one else was around, it jumped out, laid prone on the ground, stretched its forepaws, arched its back for a lazy stretch, then scanned the area around: “Meow?

Didn’t you say we were here to travel?

What kind of place is this?”

“Stop the chatter and answer me, are there any plants in the Star Spirit World that have limbs, walk around, and look like radishes?” Mu You asked.

“Walking plants?

There are plenty, meow!

All Tree-men can walk, as well as the Waking Saplings, Walking Cacti, Irises, and so on…

But if you’re talking about something that looks like a radish, it’s probably a Mandrake.” Cola responded.

“Mandrake!”

Mu You’s eyes sparkled.

One of the ingredients for the Spirit Summoning Potion was the juice of a Mandrake!

Could he be so lucky as to stumble upon one as soon as he arrived?

“What are its characteristics?” Mu You quickly asked.

“Meow, I heard from my master that this thing is quite annoying.

When you catch it, it cries, and its crying puts all the surrounding creatures to sleep, allowing it to escape.

So you must plug your ears before catching it…

However, my master also said that the juice of the Mandrake is a great magic medicine material and can be used to make various potions…

I heard its fruit flesh is also very tasty…”

As Cola spoke, it began salivating, then quickly looked around: “Are there Mandrakes around here?

Mu You, let’s hurry and look for it.

I haven’t tasted a magical creature in a long time!”
