Chapter 29: Ape Dung is a Wonderful Thing_1
"This is bad, it’s Love Blossom Fruit! There are ripe Love Blossom Fruits nearby!" Dugu Qianye suddenly said in a rush, getting to her feet and looking around. Eventually, in the middle of a connected forest, she saw a large swath of fiery red fruits.
"They are indeed Love Blossom Fruits. Everyone, we need to leave quickly," Dugu Qianye said to the butler.
"What’s that? We’re all so tired, and we finally find a place to rest, and you just want us to leave?" a man with a beard said discontentedly.
"Kid, you should just go and rest on the side. Ha ha!" a few older men joined in jeeringly.
"Tell me, what is this exactly?" the young master of the Liu Family asked an elegantly dressed old man beside him.
"This is indeed the Love Blossom Fruit. Mature Love Blossom Fruits give off a faint fragrance that attracts nearby phantom beasts. Those lower than divine beasts simply can’t resist its scent. Moreover, it’s an aphrodisiac for phantom beasts," explained the alchemist accompanying the Liu Family. "Young masters and ladies, we should really leave quickly."
Upon hearing what the alchemist said, everyone stood up and started to prepare to leave. Dugu Qianye, however, stood still.
Meng Sanniang and the others turned to look at Dugu Qianye. She pulled the elder to her side and, pulling out a longsword, said, "It’s too late."
Several Phantom Kings also stared seriously at the surrounding forest.
A grey wolf appeared in the line of sight of the people, followed by a pack of grey wolves, cheetahs, boars, and even a bunch of moles. In less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, over a hundred wild animals had surrounded the crowd and the Love Blossom Fruits behind the trees. Every one of the animals was snorting loudly and baring its teeth at the crowd.
