Chapter 4: Insect-type Tree Fruit!

Longshou Mountain Secret Realm, discovered at the summit of Longshou Mountain, thus named Longshou Mountain Secret Realm.

「Selling antidote, anyone need it? 」

Just as he reached the mid-slope of Longshou Mountain, Lin Mo saw several vendors in cloth clothing selling antidote there.

Because the Longshou Mountain Secret Realm contains a large number of Insect-type Little Spirits.

And Insect-type Little Spirits more or less possess a poison attribute.

Therefore, carrying an antidote is naturally essential.

「Cheap sell-off, only 2000 per bottle! 」

「........ 」

Taking a closer look, Lin Mo turned and left without hesitation.

As for Lin Mo, he had no savings on him.

Shaking his head, Lin Mo strode toward the mountaintop.

Wisps of thick mist filled the summit.

A ball emitting a faint glow hovered at the summit.

「Longshou Mountain Secret Realm! 」

Lin Mo opened his mouth and whispered, "How mysterious!"

The origin of the Secret Realm is highly mysterious; to this day, no one knows why it appeared.

Why does it contain another world inside?

No one knows any of this.

「Hmph! 」

Accompanied by a sharp buzzing sound, Lin Mo stepped into the Secret Realm.

A strong wave of dizziness swept over him.

When Lin Mo opened his eyes again, what appeared before him was a dense jungle.

「Drip! Drip! 」

Drop after drop of rain fell from the sky.

In the midst of the dripping, Lin Mo was completely drenched in an instant.

「What a rainy day! 」

Lin Mo watched the rain and muttered, "Da Zhen Feng's strength is hard to unleash in this weather!"

Although Da Zhen Feng is not a Flying-type Little Spirit, its prized speed is naturally affected by this rainy weather.

「Ding-dong! A Green Hair Worm, a Little Spirit, detected 300 meters ahead! 」

【Green Hair Worm (Insect Type)】

【Level: LV4 (Initial Stage)】

【Trait: Scale Powder】

【Skill: Spit Silk】

【Potential: Novice Level】

At that moment, a clear system prompt sound rang in Lin Mo's ear.

The prompt indicated that there was an Initial Stage Green Hair Worm 300 meters ahead.

「Worthless! 」

Lin Mo slightly shook his head and simply headed toward the right.

The heavy downpour made the ground somewhat muddy and also affected visibility.

Fortunately, Lin Mo had the system prompt.

Otherwise, he really wouldn't dare come here alone.

「Is there really an injured Big Beak Bird over there? 」

「Of course, if we team up, we still have a chance to capture that injured Big Beak Bird.! 」

「But that's an Ordinary-level Little Spirit, so it's still somewhat difficult. 」

「............ 」

Listening to the conversation not far away.

Lin Mo slightly raised his brow and silently muttered, "Big Beak Bird?"

The Big Beak Bird evolves from the Fierce Bird at level 20.

In other words, even the weakest Big Beak Bird possesses Ordinary-level strength.

And listening to the conversation of the two people in the distance.

Clearly, they are two Novice-level trainers.

Such a battle is clearly not something Lin Mo, who has just entered the Novice level, can participate in.

「Ding-dong! A Big Beak Bird, a Little Spirit, detected 300 meters ahead! 」

And here, a system prompt sound rang in Lin Mo's ear.

【Big Beak Bird (Normal Type/Flying Type)】

【Level: LV20 (Ordinary Period)】

【Trait: Keen Eyesight】

【Skill: Impact, Flash of Electric Light, Peck, Swallow Return, Wing Attack】

【Potential: Ordinary Level】

「An Early Ordinary Big Beak Bird! 」

Lin Mo stroked his chin; it was clear that this big‑beaked sparrow was the injured big‑beaked sparrow the two men had mentioned.

"This big‑beaked sparrow is here, let's move!"

"Come out, Little Rada!"

As the two men's voices rang out again, fierce battle sounds erupted in the distance.

"Retreat!"

Although a hopeful thought of getting a cheap win flickered inside, reason told Lin Mo.

The chance of going to a certain death was greater.

Within the Secret Realm, Little Spirits are extremely dangerous, but a trainer does not possess truth, kindness, or beauty.

At best they plunder weak Little Spirits; at worst they slaughter them outright.

And clearly, Lin Mo is that weak one.

Ding—! Insect-type fruit, Insect-Pattern Fruit, detected 300 meters to the right!

"Insect-Pattern Fruit: an Insect-type attribute fruit; when Insect-type Little Spirits consume it, they can boost power and aptitude, with aptitude rising up to Quasi Heavenly King!"

"???"

Lin Mo froze in place, never expecting to encounter an Insect-type fruit here.

Compared with ordinary fruits, attribute fruits possess various elemental powers, and after consumption can raise a Little Spirit's potential.

They are hot sellers on the market.

Although it is the most ordinary Insect-type fruit, its value still reaches hundreds of thousands.

"Now, boosting Da Zhen Feng's power is the most important!"

Lin Mo murmured softly, "First consume it to boost power; that is the most appropriate."

With that in mind, Lin Mo strode forward.

In no time, a pale‑yellow fruit appeared before his eyes.

The fruit tree was about three meters tall, and it bore only a palm‑sized fruit.

The fruit's sheen was bright, yet it was covered with countless dense scales.

Resembling insect‑like patterns.

"This is the advantage of the system prompt!"

A smile tugged at Lin Mo's mouth; within this Secret Realm, without a system prompt, how could one find such a rare Insect-type fruit?

"Come out, Da Zhen Feng!"

Lin Mo took out a Spirit Ball and gently tossed it ahead.

A red flash streaked by.

A pale‑yellow Da Zhen Feng appeared before him.

Its thin wings beat continuously, splashing droplets of water.

The moment it appeared, Da Zhen Feng's gaze fixed directly on the distant Insect-Pattern Fruit.

Obviously, as an Insect-type fruit, it exerts a strong attraction on Insect-type Little Spirits.

Lin Mo's eyes flickered as he looked at the Da Zhen Feng beside him and said, "Go!"

As soon as Lin Mo finished speaking, Da Zhen Feng flapped its wings and instantly appeared before the Insect-Pattern Fruit.

Sharp teeth continuously tore at the Insect-Pattern Fruit.

The fist‑sized Insect-Pattern Fruit was already a few bites into Da Zhen Feng's mouth.

As the fruit entered, specks of pale‑yellow light surged around its body.

The glow was hazy.

Soon, Da Zhen Feng flapped its wings and returned to Lin Mo's side.

Ding—! Detected a Little Spirit Da Zhen Feng nearby!

【Da Zhen Feng (Poison Type/Insect Type)】

【Level: Level 14 (Novice Rank)】

【Trait: Sniper】

【Skills: Insect Bite, Poison Needle, Random Strike, Spit Silk, Consecutive Slash, Grinding】

【Potential: Quasi Heavenly King】

After reviewing Da Zhen Feng's attributes, Lin Mo's eyes lit up.

He never expected his Da Zhen Feng's strength to increase so much.

It rose a full four levels and also learned the Consecutive Slash Grinding technique.

That said, it is still a fruit worth hundreds of thousands.

If the power boost is too small, Lin Mo still doubts the authenticity of this fruit.

"Da Zhen Feng, perhaps we can try our luck next!"

Lin Mo patted Da Zhen Feng's head, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
