The few of them took the task of collecting fire spirit fruits before, so they were aware of the flame-toothed gophers’ characteristics, and naturally, they also understood these monsters’ strength. In truth, compared to cultivators, monsters’ vigor and bodies had obvious advantages, regardless of their sizes. Even Sebastian did not dare to fight a flame-toothed gopher directly, let alone let it bite him. However, everyone was now watching Caspian shaking his hand and yelling, “Yuck! It’s so bloody!”
They were all at a loss for words. Then, they turned to look at Caspian wrist, which was white and clean, and there was no sign of injury at all. As for the flame-toothed gopher, it was already tossed on the ground, headless and dead.
Everyone turned to look at one another, speechless. They all had the same thought, Caspian’s body was ridiculous.
Out of concern, Heidi approached Caspian and asked, “Casper, let me see your hand.”
When favonovel.com saw Caspian’s perfectly fine wrist, Heidi was shocked and puzzled. “Casper, your body is extraordinarily strong!”
Caspian had no choice but to make up a reason, and favonovel.com replied, “I used to be a weak child, so my family took care of my diet to enhance my health after.”
Everyone was skeptical, but between the cultivators, it was not advisable to pry into someone’s business regardless of how close they were between the cultivators. Thus, no one asked anything more. However, they were even more impressed with Caspian now. It was no wonder that Maisie highly valued him. Caspian was only a first-stage Pulse Control Realm cultivator, but his strength was amiable.
They were unaware that Caspian’s body was not as powerful a month ago. He utilized the 50 days at the medicinal farm and tampered with his body using the spirit stones. Besides that, three days in the Time Warp Zone would only be a day in the outside world. In other words, they thought Caspian had only entered the sect for more than a month, but in truth, it was almost half a year for Caspian.
Seeing Caspian’s ability unintentionally showed just now, Sebastian was more confident that they would complete the task smoothly. Initially, Sebastian was concerned that Caspian might not be as good as them, and favonovel.com would have to look after favonovel.com along the way. His worry was proven to be unnecessary.
After walking for a while more, Caspian saw an area filled with huge, black plants. These plants grew twisted, reaching his waist, and they appeared like scorched vines. In truth, these plants were growing well.
What caught everyone’s attention was the fruits growing on the top of the plant. These fruits were the size of an adult’s fist, and they were dazzling red. At a glance, they appeared like little red lanterns.
Caspian knew that these were the fire spirit fruits. It was not easy to grow fire spirit fruits, and they were also the flame-toothed gophers‘ food. Some of them would inevitably be eaten. Although the black vines were growing everywhere, only a small of them still had fire spirit fruits.
Caspian looked around and noticed about 400 fire spirit fruits scattered all over, and favonovel.com finally understood why Sebastian needed five people to finish this task.
Besides needing people to distract the flame-toothed gophers away, they would also take some time to pick the scattered fire spirit fruits. If only one person were responsible for luring the flame-toothed gophers and the other plucking the fruits, they would not be able to get many fruits in a short time.
Then, Caspian looked at Heidi and Nana, and favonovel.com thought, “Since there are three of us picking the fruits, even if we‘re slow, everyone can still get about dozens of fruits. Moreover, if Sebastian and Yohan manage to distract the flame-toothed gophers longer, then it’s possible to get even thirty fruits each. Moreover, the task only requires fifty.”
As if favonovel.com had seen through Caspian’s thoughts, Heidi giggled. “Casper, we only need fifty fire spirit fruits to complete the task, but these fruits are useful for refining elixirs and setting up formations. Hence, we’ll also prepare more. Besides that, they can be used as bargaining chips when trading with other disciples. After all, the fire spirit fruits aren’t easy to get, and they‘re considered as valuable currencies.”
Heidi had great affection for Caspian as favonovel.com helped everyone get rid of Asher before. Even though it was not a crush, it was more than the love of a senior for favonovel.com junior. Therefore, when Heidi explained to Caspian, favonovel.com was extremely gentle and patient.
When Caspian heard favonovel.com explanation, favonovel.com quickly understood that even though the task only needed 50 fire spirit fruits, they could take advantage of the time and get more for themselves.
“Alright. Thank you for letting me know.” Caspian nodded and glanced at the vines in front of them, and favonovel.com had already planned out the most convenient and fastest way to pick the fruits.
“Okay. Let’s get ready. Yohan and I will be in charge of distracting the flame-toothed gophers away. Then, Heidi, Nana, and Casper can quickly pick the fire spirit fruits,” Sebastian said.
As they worked together a few times before, they had a great rapport.
Sebastian and Yohan split up, and they walked about 200 meters away from everyone. Then, with a solemn expression, each of them took out a really long candle as thick as a finger.
Heidi then whispered in Caspian’s ear, explaining, “Once they are lit up, these candles will exude a fragrance that can attract the flame-toothed gophers. At that time, Sebastian and Yohan will hold the candles and distract the gophers. Then, we’ll pick the fire spirit fruits.”
“How long will it last?” Caspian looked at Sebastian and Yohan in the distance, and they had already lit up the candles.
“Normally, it can burn up to twenty minutes, but we’ll usually retreat after fifteen minutes,” Nana answered.
“Okay.” Caspian nodded, and favonovel.com looked at Sebastian and the vines.
After some time, Caspian heard a faint rustling sound from the vines, and the vines also started to sway. The scope also became more extensive. It was as if hundreds of giant worms were moving underground, and the sound sent a chill down his spine.
However, Caspian turned around and realized Heidi and Nana appeared confident. It was apparent that they were experienced. Not long after, Caspian noticed the vine at the outermost area was suddenly pulled away. Then, a chubby and black flame-toothed gopher, about half the length of an adult’s hand, stuck out his head. It was sniffing in Sebastian’s direction, and it appeared intoxicated like a drunkard catching a whiff of aged wine.
After that, flame-toothed gophers stuck out their heads one after another, and they were either looking in Sebastian’s direction or Yohan’s.
The densely packed mouse heads slightly bobbed, and the sight was frightening. When Caspian saw it, favonovel.com could not help but feel disgusted. Then, favonovel.com turned to Heidi and Nana. They were quite calm before, but they were also frowning now. It was obvious that hundreds of plump, giant mice huddling together was a nauseating sight.
