Chapter 487 The Minor Trouble of Being Covered in Armor
Chapter 487 The Minor Trouble of Being Covered in Armor
"What's wrong, Zhizhi?" Lei Xiu was the first to notice that something was wrong with Lezhi.
Lie Feng and the others soon noticed that Le Zhi's expression was different.
Lezhi was bewildered, "Spores cannot parasitize; there's a barrier on their body surface..."
Lei Xiu: "...?!"
Ah this...
—I really didn't expect that.
They quickly realized what the so-called barrier meant, and for a moment, their expressions became somewhat complicated.
Who would have thought that talent would one day become a stumbling block?
Lie Feng was extremely anxious: "What should we do next?"
If spores cannot parasitize, are there other ways to treat the disease?
After pondering for a while, Lezhi temporarily put the mushrooms away and walked to the patient closest to him.
The chosen lucky one fixed his gaze on Lezhi, his face expressionless, his pupils flickering, as if he were somewhat nervous.
The people were talking quietly, but since he was near the door, he could hear everything clearly.
It was also thought that the spores' inability to parasitize might be related to the Golden Armor Clan's innate abilities.
The person in front of him must be trying to find a solution. Thinking of this, Lucky Guy's eyes suddenly became firm. No matter what he was asked to do, as long as he could do it, he would cooperate. As long as he could remove this damned shadow from his body, that would be fine.
Unaware that the seemingly serious person in front of him had such a rich inner world, Lezhi pondered for a while and suddenly had an idea.
"Take off your clothes and let me see." Without any warning, she immediately ordered him to undress.
Lei Xiu: "...?!"
Lie Feng: "...Huh?"
Lieyu, at the back of the group, took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and secretly whispered to the person next to him, "What's going on? Why are they taking off their clothes for no reason?"
The sound wasn't loud and wasn't noticeable in the suddenly noisy room, but it still didn't escape Lie Zhi's notice.
"Shut up and watch quietly!"
He gently reprimanded the team member for his inappropriate behavior, while the lucky chosen one had already begun working.
"Okay, okay..." Realizing that she had overreacted, Lezhi was not yet an adult and there was nothing she could do to him.
Besides, given his appearance, if anything happens, who knows who will be the one to suffer?
With that in mind, there was no reason to hesitate, so he simply and decisively pulled open his shirt, revealing his upper body.
On her smooth skin, starting from the left side of her chest, dark lines have spread to her shoulder.
The eerie patterns exude an ominous aura, making one feel uneasy just looking at them.
This black-patterned lightning was extremely familiar to Lei Xiu; it had once stained almost half of his body.
Lezhi remained silent, raised his hand, and placed his palm over the black markings on the man's chest. Sure enough, the barrier there had weakened considerably.
With the spores focused on a breakthrough, news soon came from the mushrooms that the parasitism had been successful.
During previous treatments, he didn't allow the spores to directly parasitize the lesions because he was afraid that the newly hatched spores wouldn't be able to defeat the shadow, but now he can't worry about that anymore.
Finding this method useful, Lezhi immediately supplied energy to the mushroom, providing support to the spores so that they could survive the initial growth stage and not be swallowed by the shadow at the beginning.
Seeing the familiar glint in Lezhi's eyes, Lei Xiu knew that he had found a solution to the problem.
Sure enough, nothing can stump Zhizhi.
With a smug smile, Lei Xiu's admiring gaze followed Le Zhi, making Lie Zhao, who happened to glance over, feel a bit of a toothache. Was this really the same person who had defeated him before? He looked a little silly.
Before long, the patient whom Lezhi had randomly chosen, like every other patient he had treated before, started growing mushrooms on his forehead. When Lezhi stepped aside, everyone realized that the black markings on his body had completely disappeared.
He casually plucked a mushroom, tossed it into the air with a flourish, and caught it again. A carefree smile played on his lips. "It's done. If I said there would be no problem, there definitely won't be."
The Golden Armor Clan's armor was indeed a bit troublesome, but if the shadow could break through the Golden Armor's invasion, there was no reason why the mushroom couldn't. Originally, I was thinking that if it really didn't work, I could just cultivate it again, but I didn't expect that he would still find a weakness.
Let's leave it at that for today. He'll upgrade the mushroom when he has time later, and make sure this situation doesn't happen again.
Otherwise, it would be so embarrassing to make all those boasts and then fail to deliver!
Others didn't think Lezhi was shameful at all; they just thought he was incredibly clever, able to find solutions to problems immediately.
"Great, let the others take their clothes off too..."
"Uh, no need for that." Lezhi quickly stopped him. He had asked the patient to take off his clothes earlier because he needed to identify the weak points in the barrier. Now that he knew how to break through, he communicated with the mushrooms and told the spores to follow the path.
Upon hearing Lezhi's explanation, Liefeng waved his hand, signaling everyone not to make a move.
Once the right method is found, the treatment process becomes simple. However, compared to the previous free-range approach, this treatment involves an additional "seedling" process. But all Lezhi needs to do is provide the mushrooms with enough energy; he doesn't need to worry about anything else.
Soon, depending on the severity of the illness, mushrooms began to sprout on the foreheads of the patients one after another. After self-examination, they confirmed that the black lines on their bodies had completely disappeared, which meant that the shadows had been completely removed.
Once all 1386 mushrooms were placed in front of Lezhi without missing a single one, the treatment was considered complete. Next, it was time to sit down and share the spoils.
"What is this?" Lie Feng looked at Le Zhi's hands as he forced the cocoa vines to grow. Before he could even be surprised, he was dazzled by the ever-growing chocolate fruits.
Oh my, such vibrant life force! How come he's never seen such a high-grade fruit before?
As is customary, Lezhi would distribute an appropriate number of chocolate fruits based on each person's physical condition. Liefeng did not object, taking it as part of Lezhi's routine treatment.
Only after all the procedures were completed did he hesitantly step forward, "Lezhi, that fruit just now..."
He wasn't the first person to express interest in chocolate fruit, and Lezhi didn't hide anything, generously telling him about the origin of the cocoa vine and giving him a few fruits as a gift.
"I think I'm the only one who has this fruit right now. Well, if you're interested later, you can buy it from me."
Remembering their fledgling caravan, Lezhi casually mentioned it, hinting at a possible future collaboration.
He has many exclusive products, and chocolate fruit is just one of them. There are many other great things, and I don't believe anyone wouldn't be tempted.
If they are interested, his dream of opening shops throughout Jormungand should be realized soon.
Thinking about this, social interactions suddenly don't seem so uncomfortable anymore!
…………
Enthusiastically demonstrated the functions of the Illusionary Sound Vine to Lie Feng. Only then did Lie Zhao and Lie Zhi, who were standing nearby, realize that the vines on Le Zhi and Lei Xiu's wrists were different from theirs.
Having successfully broken down their defenses with the Illusionary Sound Vine and Chocolate Fruit, Lezhi mentioned forming a caravan with Snow, hoping they would look out for each other in the future. Liefeng and his group readily agreed.
After Lie Zhao received a chocolate fruit from Kele, he started thinking about how to exchange chocolate fruits with Lezhi. Before he could tell the clan leader, Lezhi brought it up on his own initiative, which was exactly what they wanted.
If you don't agree immediately, even a second of hesitation is disrespectful to the chocolate fruit.
After seeing off the jubilant Golden Armor Clan, Lezhi and Lei Xiu could finally get some rest.
The jelly frog and leaf beetle are staying comfortably in the water bubble. Because of the layer separating them, they are least affected by the outside world and look very energetic.
The others had been on the boat for several days, and after washing up separately, Lei Xiu went to prepare dinner, while Le Zhi contacted Snow.
After telling him about the situation with the Golden Armor Clan, Snow also brought some good news.
"All sold out? You mean all of them, or..."
Snow: "Of course, all the goods. Needless to say, the Illusionary Sound Vine was snapped up as soon as it was brought out." The Kunling and the three clans of Youmeng Valley are major producers of mineral crystals. Snow proposed that they could exchange mineral crystals for exclusive energy stones, which could then be used to purchase goods. Almost everyone exchanged quite a lot without hesitation.
At the very least, they exchanged enough energy stones to buy the Illusionary Mother-Child Vine.
“We won’t be short of mineral crystals for a while. After that, I’ll go to the aquarium and see what we can trade there. But before that, I need to restock with you.”
At this point, it's regrettable that their caravan is still not a significant force; otherwise, they would have arranged for transport earlier when they discovered the shortage of goods, and they could have exchanged for more supplies.
Thinking of the same thing, Lezhi urged, "Hurry up and find someone, otherwise it will be too inefficient for you to run around alone."
"I know, I know. That's why I'm going back to my hometown this time. I'll definitely bring a team to see you then, not just me alone. I'll also let you get to know everyone..."
