The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 1289 Master, you must stand up for me!

Mo Zhi marked the spot and turned to go back to find Yun Ran.

As she passed by the translucent grass, Mo Zhi, afraid she would lose control, deliberately avoided looking and rushed forward with her eyes closed.

Little did she know that as she resolutely left, undisturbed by the translucent grass, the originally translucent and seemingly harmless grass gradually changed color.

In an instant, it transformed from a harmless, translucent blade of grass into a dangerous creature exuding a dark red aura, as if it could devour any living being that approached it at any moment.

Yun Ran had just grabbed a handful of soil mixed with stone fragments when she felt a chilling sensation that traveled straight to her bones through her skin.

Just then, Mo Zhi returned. She craned her neck and looked at Yun Ran's tightly clenched hand.

"Master, have you made any discoveries? Oh, right, I found a hole, which should be the place you're looking for."

Yunran did not immediately answer Mo Zhi's question, but looked around.

Such a cold and gloomy place should, in theory, be a perfect place for ghosts and monsters to gather.

But the reality is quite the opposite; the place is very clean, as if someone had deliberately purified it.

Yunran loosened her grip, letting the dirt fall from her palm.

However, when her gaze fell on Mo Zhi, she couldn't help but furrow her brow.

Yun Ran's frown made Mo Zhi's heart skip a beat. She had been by Yun Ran's side for a long time, and anything that could make Yun Ran frown was definitely not a good thing.

"Master... Master, is there something I did wrong?"

Although it is already very powerful now, it can solve many problems that even masters of the esoteric arts cannot solve.

But Mo Zhi's cowardice at heart hadn't changed at all, especially in front of Yun Ran, where she became even more cowardly.

"I see that you have just escaped a deadly ordeal."

It's not surprising that Mo Zhi escaped death.

Strangely, just a few minutes ago, Yunran had not seen any signs of impending death on Mo Zhi.

This is equivalent to Yunran crashing and burning in her area of ​​expertise.

Upon hearing this, Mo Zhi's face immediately showed a look of shock, followed by a chill down her spine. She had only gone to scout the way.

Aside from a tiny bit of delay, I only spent a little time on that unidentified little grass...

Yes, that plant!

If there was anything amiss during her scouting trip, it was that herb. It was because of that herb that she forcibly interrupted the final stage of her seclusion.

Even though Mo Zhi wasn't human, she could feel her body being tightly bound by that unknown danger, inch by inch.

“Master… I just discovered a small, transparent plant that was radiating light. I almost reached out to pick it. If I hadn’t been afraid to keep the treasure to myself, it would probably be gone by now.”

After saying this, Mo Zhi suddenly became angry.

Damn it, if it weren't for her absolute loyalty to the master, she would now be nourishment for that nameless little grass!

Enraged, Mo Zhi's face twisted in pain, and the ghostly aura that she had carefully concealed since becoming a ghost cultivator suddenly resurfaced from her body.

The ghostly aura emanating from Mo Zhi made the surrounding environment even colder.

"Put away that ghostly aura!"

Yun Ran wasn't afraid of that bone-chilling cold, but she really didn't like it. Mo Zhi immediately withdrew her ghostly aura, looking aggrieved, and pouted, "Master, you must stand up for me!"

That damned little grass dared to disguise itself as prey and almost killed her instantly. It wasn't just her face that was lost, but also the master's face.

Looking at Mo Zhi's expression, Yun Ran found it rather offensive. She immediately clenched her fists and uttered a single word decisively: "Stop!"

Mo Zhi, who had originally wanted to continue to gain sympathy, immediately stopped watching normally.

Given Mo Zhi's current strength, if they were to fight to the death, Yun Ran felt that she might not be able to escape unscathed.

Yet, this extraordinary ghost cultivator was outmaneuvered right under her nose.

In other words, the one who truly succeeded in scheming against that nameless little grass was actually her and Mo Zhi.

If Mo Zhi hadn't stopped at the last moment, Yun Ran felt she might not have been able to save her in time when she realized Mo Zhi was in trouble.

The more this happened, the more curious Yunran became about this little grass, which had a fatal attraction for ghosts and monsters, yet humans were completely unaware of its importance.

In addition, the place was unusually clean, which made Yunran suspect that the original inhabitants of this place had probably been eaten clean long ago.

"This little plant is so amazing, I'd like to go and take a look!"

Upon seeing that Yun Ran was going to stand up for her, Mo Zhi's face immediately lit up with excitement.

"Master, this way, I'll lead the way!"

At the same time, Mo Zhi was also cursing in her heart: Damn it, how dare he set his sights on her, he's asking for death!
Half an hour later, Yunran followed Mozhi to the place where the grass was growing.

If it weren't for the demon core as a means of illumination, it would be truly impossible to move an inch in such pitch black.

Before she even got close, Yunran saw the transparent, nameless little grass.

It's not that its appearance is particularly stunning; it's simply because it's translucent.

The light from the demon core acted on it, and the translucent little grass now looked just like sparkling white glass.

Mo Zhi was diligently leading the way when she was about to fawn over Yun Ran and report that they had arrived.

But when her gaze fell upon that glimmer of light, her eyes were immediately and involuntarily drawn to it.

Then, as if completely out of control, her whole body moved forward step by step, her eyes filled with an undisguised infatuation.

At this moment, the death calamity that had disappeared from Mo Zhi's body reappeared.

Now, there's no need to test anything; this herb is indeed the root cause of Mo Zhi's fatal calamity.

"Mo Zhi, stop!"

Yunran spoke, but she, who was usually very obedient, ignored her completely, as if she couldn't hear anything at all.

This scene made Yun Ran sneer, her eyes filled with a dangerous and deadly expression.

"Ha, what audacity! Trying to devour my ghost right in front of me! They don't take me seriously at all!"

When Mo Zhi was only half a meter away from the small grass, the strange phenomenon suddenly changed.

The once harmless, transparent grass suddenly changed dramatically, with countless tiny, dark red lines emerging from its roots.

A skilled hunter knows that to kill with a single blow, the safest approach is to strike when the prey is within the optimal attack range.

But in the current situation, it's clear that the little grass acted too early.
