The two of them didn't spend long in sentimental conversation. Su Jiancheng took the initiative to push Leng Yuexiu's shoulder away and said with a smile, "Boss, you are so humane all of a sudden. I'm a little uncomfortable with it."

Leng Yuexiu rolled his eyes and lightly hit his shoulder which was not infected by the corpse poison.

He pulled out his free hand and grabbed two handfuls of glutinous rice from his pocket and asked him to hold them.

"I don't know how to remove the poison either. Let's try using sticky rice first, and then switch to a handful of new rice later."

As he spoke, he looked in the direction of the alley in the distance, and Su Jiancheng also looked over there, "Boss, what are you looking at?"

Leng Yuexiu patted his shoulder and said, "I'll go get you two more soft crystals. You're too weak now, and I don't want to carry you back."

Su Jiancheng was a little discouraged. He said nothing and just waited there obediently.

Leng Yuexiu trotted towards the alley in the distance, making almost no sound. After waiting for less than two minutes, Leng Yuexiu returned to Su Jiancheng.

Su Jiancheng was so scared that he leaned back and closed his mouth tightly, as if to say, "If you try to stuff it in your mouth again, I'm going to break up with you."

Leng Yuexiu was speechless. After these days of separation, his cunning subordinate's brain wasn't working very well.

Leng Yuexiu swept away the glutinous rice on his shoulder, and the glutinous rice fell to the ground, and the side that touched his skin was stained black.

It looked like Su Jiancheng's skin had faded, and looking at his shoulders, the two finger marks had obviously faded.

Seeing that it was working, Leng Yuexiu pulled his wrist and asked him to cover his shoulders with glutinous rice.

Two fresh soft crystals were stuffed into Su Jiancheng's other hand. "Wait here and absorb some energy. I'll go over there and look for something."

Su Jiancheng asked hurriedly, "Boss, what are you looking for? Do you want me to look for it with you?"

Leng Yuexiu shook his head, "You wait here. Be smart. If you feel movement underground, call me. Don't get dragged away and dragged underground."

Su Jiancheng was stunned and looked around in panic, "Boss, is this place so dangerous?"

“Nonsense, I really doubt if you are Su Jiancheng. Now you are as stupid as a pig.”

Leng Yuexiu left after saying a few words. Su Jiancheng was stunned for two seconds without refutation.

Seeing Leng Yuexiu was about to walk away, he hurriedly shouted, "How do you use this thing? I don't want to eat it, it's too disgusting."

Leng Yuexiu's back stiffened, and he said impatiently, "Just absorb it with your hands, eat nothing."

"Oh." Su Jiancheng just responded, then realized it belatedly and yelled angrily, "Then just force it on me!"

Leng Yuexiu didn't bother to pay attention to him and walked straight towards the main trunk of the five-clawed locust tree.

Su Jiancheng saw Leng Yuexiu walk to a raised mound of earth, slow down his pace, and approach slowly with caution. He looked for a few seconds before squatting down.

Su Jiancheng was curious, but he was in great pain. He had just condensed a ball of fire, and his head was dizzy, so he didn't dare to move.

He looked at the sticky soft crystal in his hand and clenched his fingers, trying to attract the energy of the soft crystal. His five senses were almost fighting, but he didn't feel anything unusual.

This made the usually proud Su Jiancheng a little frustrated, but he didn't dare to call Leng Yuexiu to ask questions. As the sky gradually darkened, Su Jiancheng showed a painful expression on his face. He took a soft crystal and rubbed it on his dirty sweater.

Leng Yuexiu squatted two meters away from the mound. Because the green crystal was taken away by him, the five-clawed locust tree had all shrunk and part of its trunk had turned into water.

And in this mound of earth, you can vaguely see the shriveled roots.

Leng Yuexiu pulled out the dagger he carried with him, wasted some of his supernatural powers, and summoned a circle of wind to surround him in case of any accidents.

After making preparations, he used the blade of the dagger to poke at the mound, scraping away two layers of soil to reveal the shriveled roots.

The roots were still extending downwards. Leng Yuexiu used a dagger instead of his hands to dig, observing the condition of the soil while digging. Fortunately, there was nothing abnormal.

After digging down about thirty centimeters, the number of roots increased from one on the surface to seven or eight.

Seven or eight roots were connected to one thing. Leng Yuexiu dug up most of the soil, revealing the general appearance of the thing inside.

It is a round sphere, slightly smaller than a watermelon, covered with soil, and the roots are also connected to it.

After waiting for a while, there was no movement, so Leng Yuexiu continued digging and pulled out the thing that looked like the fruit of the strange tree.

The roots were still connected to the mound. Leng Yuexiu dug to the side along the roots that had not been severed and dug out two fist-sized fruits in succession.

Leng Yuexiu wanted to look for any more fruits that were connected together. When he dug the soil with a dagger, he saw the broken roots and knew that these were probably all.

All the seeds that were full of vitality have turned into water and are now integrated with the soil, without a single branch containing water.

Leng Yuexiu found a bag and put the fruits, one large and two small, into it. He then went back to study whether these fruits were useful.

Leng Yuexiu was also very confused about the origin of Hanba. It seemed that Hanba was wrapped in the trunk of the strange tree, so he was stopped by Hanba when he broke the trunk to take the green crystal.

Leng Yuexiu walked to the front of the original trunk of the strange tree. It had collapsed, forming a hole at least two meters deep. There was a layer of loose soil covering the things that had fallen into it.

It was impossible to go down, so Leng Yuexiu had to control the wind and try to peel off the loose soil to reveal the supporting structure inside.

In a flash, the contents of the pit were revealed, a smooth, split wooden board.

Leng Yuexiu's expression froze. Wooden board?

Judging from the color, this should be a coffin, and the broken layer should be the lid. Leng Yuexiu controlled the wind system and drew a gust of wind. The coffin was split into two halves and fell to both sides due to the wind force.

Now the original appearance of the coffin inside was revealed. It was not lying flat, but inserted diagonally in the pit. The lining inside was rotten, and it was black and nothing could be seen.

Leng Yuexiu, who was planning to leave, was afraid of missing something, so before leaving, he used his supernatural powers to sense the energy fluctuations and found a little energy feedback in the corner of the coffin.

The location was too deep and at the bottom of the pit. Now that the sun had set and the sky had become dark, it was impossible for him to go down to the bottom to dig.

Leng Yuexiu had no choice but to control the wind energy and circle up around the thing with energy feedback.

Fearing that the thing might contain corpse poison, Leng Yuexiu specially found two pieces of cloth to wrap it.

After taking all the things with him, Leng Yuexiu looked around and made sure nothing was left behind before walking towards Su Jiancheng.

Su Jiancheng's face didn't look very good at the moment. The glutinous rice and soft crystals in his hands were gone. He leaned against the bricks to relax.

Leng Yuexiu was a little surprised. He glanced at his shoulder and saw that the black marks left by the two fingers had become so light that there was only a faint mark left.

There were some black bruises at the corners of his mouth, which were not there when he left just now. Leng Yuexiu thought it was poisonous blood he vomited out, so he didn't look closely.
