Chapter 236: Frog-Mushroom Ghost Fiend

"Ah—it failed again! Where exactly is the problem!" Zhao Yuxin roared while scratching her hair.

Looking at the wilted flower before her, Zhao Yuxin felt her mind was a mess. After finishing her research on the High-Crowned Spirit Chief, Zhao Yuxin had started new research.

It was just a pity that the new plant she wanted still hadn't been created; only a wilted flower had come out, and it kept emitting a foul stench.

Zhao Yuxin had the Durian Warrior on the side throw the failed product out of the carriage. The Durian Warrior then picked up the failed product and walked toward the nearest window, but once it opened it, the window was already blocked by a large number of failed products, so it had to switch to another window.

"Where exactly is the problem?" Zhao Yuxin took out her notebook and pondered her problem repeatedly, but after thinking for a long time, she still couldn't figure out where the problem was.

Looking at the High-Crowned Spirit Chief, which had turned into charred remains in many places, Zhao Yuxin muttered, "Ajiu must have destroyed a large portion of its vital organs when he caught this monster! Yes, that must be it! I'll just have to make him catch another one."

Afterward, she first killed and dissected the High-Crowned Spirit Chief, obtaining 170 catties of Plant Demon Meat and one Magic Core. Only after putting these things away did she walk out of the carriage.

Just as she was about to speak, she saw Zhu Zhiquan happily building things together with Xuebao and Gelina. This made Zhao Yuxin curious, and she asked, "What are you all doing?"

Zhu Zhiquan stood up and replied, "Making a box."

"Making a box?" Zhao Yuxin opened the crafting interface in confusion and saw that there were many types of boxes they could make relying on the system; there was no need to craft them by hand at all.

Zhu Zhiquan: "There's nothing wrong with letting them craft by hand; not only can it pass the time, but it can also further improve their intelligence levels."

"That makes sense." Zhao Yuxin returned to the carriage, and when she came out, she had an extra notebook and a pen in her hand. "The one you caught, Ajiu, won't work; you have to catch another one."

Zhu Zhiquan nodded lightly and looked up at the sky. At this moment, starlight shone through the woods onto his face. Afterward, Zhu Zhiquan secretly looked at Zhao Yuxin's watch, which showed that it was already nearly seven o'clock.

"Let's do it tomorrow. If we don't start a fire to cook now, we probably won't be eating dinner." Saying this, Zhu Zhiquan turned and entered the carriage to get the cookware.

Zhao Yuxin looked down at her watch, immediately put down her notebook and pen, and began to build a campfire.

When Zhu Zhiquan and Zhao Yuxin finished making dinner, Xuebao and Gelina also finished their work at this moment.

Especially Xuebao; it proudly jumped in front of Zhao Yuxin holding their work, expecting Zhao Yuxin to praise it.

Zhao Yuxin looked at the slightly crooked box, which was decorated with many jasmine flowers and various doodles, and gave a thumbs up, praising, "Baobao, you're amazing!"

Being praised, Xuebao immediately smiled like a child. At the same time, Zhao Yuxin noticed Gelina in the distance with her head lowered, the wings on her back flapping slowly, but she remained motionless.

Zhao Yuxin asked with a smile, "Gelina, did you do the flowers on this?"

Gelina nodded slightly. Zhao Yuxin hopped over to her side and laughed, "What are you afraid of? Look at how good this looks on here? Can you stop being so shy all the time?"

Upon hearing this, Gelina shyly covered her face and flew back into the carriage in her small fairy form.

Zhu Zhiquan watched Gelina return to the carriage and had wanted to invite her to eat together, but seeing that Zhao Yuxin didn't go in to persuade her, he didn't feel like getting involved.

Late at night, Zhu Zhiquan returned to the carriage covered in sweat. Zhao Yuxin was also sitting on a small stool, and seeing him return, she said angrily, "Training again! Let's get this straight: you can't sleep in the carriage with that stench on you!"

Zhu Zhiquan smelled himself and felt that he was indeed a bit too smelly, so he immediately went out to see if there was a stream or something similar nearby.

Zhao Yuxin covered her mouth and giggled; she had just been saying it, but Zhu Zhiquan had actually taken it seriously. Just as Zhao Yuxin wanted to call Zhu Zhiquan back, the sound of frogs croaking suddenly came from outside the carriage, one after another.

Zhao Yuxin immediately listened carefully to the movement around her to confirm what was happening outside. Zhu Zhiquan had reached the outside of the carriage and was just about to ask the guarding Durian Warrior, but when he saw the scene outside the carriage, it made his hair stand on end.

Because at this moment, their Tricycle was surrounded by a group of ghosts shaped like mushrooms with calls similar to frogs, numbering over four hundred.

These ghosts were purple all over, about two and a half meters tall, with pitch-black claws growing on each hand, and the firelight emanating from their eyes made the surrounding monsters afraid to breathe.

Name: Melon-Eating Ghost Fiend

Type: Ghost type

Introduction: A type of ghost that lives in the night for a long time. Because they fear the sun, they hate all things that emit light. Where they are, you had better not emit light, unless you can emit light comparable to the sun.

After reading the information provided by the Nightmare Demon Eye, Zhu Zhiquan loosened his muscles and joints, wanting all the more to have a fight with the other party.

At this moment, Zhao Yuxin pulled him back and whispered a criticism, "Ajiu, do you have a death wish! There are so many ghosts outside, can you even beat them!?"

Zhu Zhiquan patted his chest and said, "Just these few ghosts feel like perfect practice for me."

Zhao Yuxin: "Don't talk nonsense! Can't you see these things have surrounded our carriage three layers deep? What makes you say you can beat them!"

Zhu Zhiquan wanted to continue to retort, but Zhao Yuxin ran directly to the driver's seat, preparing to drive away from the scene.

"Azhao..."

"We'll talk about whatever you have to say later!" Zhao Yuxin interrupted Zhu Zhiquan, turned on the headlights, and drove the Tricycle away from the scene.

The sudden turning on of the headlights made the Melon-Eating Ghost Fiends in front retreat to the sides, but the other Melon-Eating Ghost Fiends who hadn't been dazzled saw someone daring to emit light and swarmed toward them like a tide.

The Durian Warrior standing guard outside had just jumped into the carriage when it was knocked down by a Melon-Eating Ghost Fiend, but the Melon-Eating Ghost Fiend that knocked it down was also pierced to death by the Spikes on its body.

Zhu Zhiquan grabbed a Melon-Eating Ghost Fiend that had crashed and died on the Durian Warrior and threw it at the Melon-Eating Ghost Fiends behind, then activated his Phoenix Cloud Fire.

Four fire phoenixes circled with scorching flames, causing the surrounding Melon-Eating Ghost Fiends that were originally chasing the Tricycle to turn their heads and fly toward these four fire phoenixes.

Boom!

A loud noise rang out, and quite a few Melon-Eating Ghost Fiends were killed by the shockwave after the explosion; furthermore, the flames after the explosion ignited the surrounding trees, causing the firelight to spread upward along the trees.

Many Melon-Eating Ghost Fiends that hadn't been killed by the explosion saw the larger light and rushed toward the ignited trees, launching their most lethal attacks.

"Ajiu, what's wrong with them?" Zhao Yuxin saw the abnormality of this group of Melon-Eating Ghost Fiends through the rearview mirror.

Zhu Zhiquan: "They hate things that emit light very much. If the level of illumination cannot rival the sun, they will be subjected to their fierce attacks."

"So that's how it is." Zhao Yuxin thought for a moment, then asked, "Then we can't just drive by the faint moonlight like the predecessors on the peninsula!"

While she was speaking, those burning trees were extinguished by the Melon-Eating Ghost Fiends, and they continued their pursuit.

Zhu Zhiquan's eyes darted back and forth, and finally, he said, "I have a way to both shake them off and not affect our driving."

Zhao Yuxin avoided a protruding tree root and asked, "What way?"
