Why... why are you here? Are you here to dig for mutated fruit too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan felt uneasy: \"What mutated fruit? Where?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Ma pointed at the piles of black stones: \"Don’t you see these large mutated fruits?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quick, don’t just stand there, come dig! If we dig them out, everyone can have a bite, and we’ll all awaken!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Ma eagerly pulled Liang Yuan, wanting him to dig too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan’s face changed slightly, he looked at Song Wen, Ding Yan, Yang Shenmin, and Shi Haizhu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Haizhu couldn’t help but say: \"They all seem to be digging these stone piles.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Liang, something’s wrong, their mental state seems off.\" Song Wen whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Yan, looking serious, couldn’t help but grab Old Ma’s arm: \"Old Ma, what’s wrong with you?
