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

Chapter 543 Backup Signal Source

Ginseng Fruit was actually very curious about what his eyes would look like after they changed color, but since there were other people present, he couldn't show it too obviously.

He could only pretend to be frightened: "Master, have my eyes changed color?"

Yunran looked at the ginseng fruit speechlessly. How come she didn't know that the ginseng fruit liked to act so much?

If those discolored eyes had fallen on someone else, things would probably be in complete chaos right now.

But for ginseng fruit, it's just a decoration.

"Come here and let me take a look."

Although Yunran didn't take it seriously, she still wanted to see what caused it, and the ginseng fruit happened to be the material for her research.

After carefully examining the ginseng fruit, there was nothing wrong with it.

Yun Ran rubbed her chin and muttered to herself, "Could it be a problem with the measurement?"

Although Mo Zhi didn't know the details of the ginseng fruit, she knew that it was also made by a master, so she wasn't worried at all.

Hearing Yunran's mutterings, Mo Zhi didn't even need to be told; she immediately turned around and prepared to bring over more wild fruits.

With a direct destination in mind, Mo Zhi moved much faster this time and soon returned with a large bag of wild fruits.

While Ginseng Fruit continued to eat wild fruits to test its dosage, Yunran's gaze fell on the soil that had been brought back earlier.

Although she is not a specialist in soil research, she can identify things in soil that are clearly unreasonable.

"This soil seems to contain some kind of special substance, no wonder the plants and animals here are all so strange."

Ginseng Fruit had already eaten more than half of the fruit that Mo Zhi had brought back the second time. Apart from its eyes turning blood red and looking somewhat eerie, it hadn't changed much.

"Let's get out of here first."

No matter what's wrong with the soil here, they can't change it. The ecological environment here is just like this, and it's beyond human intervention.

Just as they were about to leave, the ginseng fruit suddenly spoke up: "Host, someone else has entered this place!"

Yunran wouldn't dare say she's the most amazing person, but her perception is definitely stronger than most people's.

But now, she doesn't notice anything.

Seeing Yun Ran's puzzled expression, Ren Shenguo nodded affirmatively.

"There were at least twenty or thirty people, and they still smelled of gunpowder, so they must have been carrying heavy weapons."

If it can be explained so clearly, then the perception of the ginseng fruit must be correct.

Yunran looked the ginseng fruit up and down until it became somewhat uncomfortable, then she suddenly laughed.

"It seems that the wild fruits you ate earlier were not useless. At least, you can clearly sense the presence of other people in the Death Mountain."

The ginseng fruit was also a little curious as to why its host hadn't sensed anyone approaching.

Hearing the host's words, he suddenly realized what was going on.

The fruits he had eaten earlier, coupled with the fact that he wasn't actually made of flesh and blood, allowed the effects of these wild fruits to reach their peak.

He has now become a 'member' of the mountain of death.

Just like those venomous snakes that tried to attack them before, they could clearly sense the approach of humans, so they lay in ambush beforehand.

Ginseng Fruit's face lit up with visible excitement. Could this be considered cheating?

He immediately gave a sinister smile: "Host, should we...?"

"Stop those crazy thoughts in your head right now!"

The ginseng fruit wilted immediately. He didn't intend to do anything; he just wanted to see who those people were. If they were troublesome, he could dig a pit for them. "Mind your own business."

Especially when you're on a mission outside, sometimes you get involved in other people's business and then you have to bear the consequences of their actions.

"Oh, I see~"

Seeing the ginseng fruit's embarrassed look, Yunran and the others continued on their way, hoping to find a slightly safer place before dark.

At this moment, the people discovered by the ginseng fruit came in from another outer area, and they were all carrying heavy weapons.

Entry and exit from the Death Mountain are strictly monitored by the Sihui Gate of Licheng. Under normal circumstances, special permission is required to enter.

The responsibility of Sihuimen is not only to keep an eye on the formations set up by the bigwigs of the Special Administration Bureau, but also to prevent any sentient beings from escaping from the Death Mountain.

It can be said that this Death Mountain is the last free habitat left by the Special Administration for the different species in those primeval forests.

Yunran and the others arrived late at night when it was quiet and there were few people around.

These people not only came in during the day, but also brought so many obviously prohibited weapons into the place, which shows that their identities and missions are definitely not simple.

The humidity in the Death Mountain is much higher than outside; in some areas, it can even be described as damp, making it less likely to cause a fire.

But there are still many withered branches and even some lifeless weeds here. If someone really is fighting here.

If we're not careful, this place could really catch fire.

In addition, there are many unknown poisonous flowers, plants and trees here, as well as various miasmas formed due to special reasons.

Once exposed to the scorching heat of the fire, the poisonous gases that had lingered in the Death Mountain would dissipate.

Not to mention the creatures around here, even the entire population of Licheng will suffer.

"Captain, satellite signal one is malfunctioning!"

"The signal from satellite number two has also malfunctioned!"

……

The man referred to as the captain frowned slightly as his subordinates reported one signal failure after another.

Before they arrived, they had already prepared corresponding emergency plans, but the current situation is much more troublesome than they had anticipated.

"Activate backup signal source!"

"Yes!"

As soon as the voices of their subordinates came through, everyone quickly took out a backup signal source, which turned out to be a magical artifact inlaid with special stones.

Those who had previously struggled to distinguish directions now easily discerned east, west, south, and north.

"Dr. Jiang's invention is indeed very useful; it doesn't affect us at all in such a special magnetic field environment!"

They were commissioned by the Kyoto Geological Institute to dig here, and the price they were offered was one they couldn't refuse.

Not to mention, the person in charge, Dr. Jiang, is from the Jiang family of Kyoto. Apart from the four top families, the Jiang family has the most influence in the next tier.

If they can successfully complete this deal, they will be rich and prosperous for the rest of their lives.

Before setting off, they used up all the resources they could muster in their lives.

I brought everything I could.

The 'backup signal source' they have now come up with requires a huge amount of manpower and resources.

There should only be one update tonight, but I'll make up for it with a second update if I can get back in time.
