Feasibility of Mermaids Infiltrating Qilin

After eating and drinking his fill and washing himself clean, Su Xingze changed into a clean set of clothes.

Back at the camp, the Zhang family had already set up the temporary camp.

He was the only child here, but these indifferent Zhang family members clearly did not possess the virtue of caring for the young.

As soon as he got back, he was instructed to gather some firewood, and a small basket was slipped into his hand, telling him to pick some mushrooms if he saw any.

They weren't worried that Su Xingze wouldn't be able to identify poisonous mushrooms. The Zhang family had professional courses in identifying wild flora and fauna. At the very least, all the Zhang family children who were enrolled in school could recognize dozens of common edible fungi.

So Su Xingze took a small sickle in one hand and a tattered bamboo basket in the other and went back into the mountains.

There were many fallen, dry branches in the woods, and he quickly gathered a bundle of firewood.

As for the mushrooms he was asked to take back...

Mushrooms and edible fungi are quite easy to find in the mountains this season. Su Xingze glanced at them casually, and once he was sure they wouldn't kill him, he simply pulled the mushrooms out of the soil and threw them into his small, tattered basket.

Returning to the camp with a bountiful harvest, Uncle Zhang, who was in charge of dinner, had already boiled water.

Su Xingze obediently placed the mushroom basket next to the uncle. Uncle Zhang glanced down at him, thinking that such a little guy couldn't be of much help, so he waved his hand and sent him off to play by himself.

"That small one over there is your tent. You've put all your things in there. Okay, go away and stop causing trouble here."

Su Xingze blinked and obediently replied, "Okay."

As soon as he entered his tent, Su Xingze took out the jade face mask that he had washed several times from his pack.

This jade mask was carved from a single piece of jade. After being cleaned, the dark green jade regained its former luster.

The jade surface radiates a lustrous sheen, resembling a top-quality piece of jade. However, to anyone with a basic understanding of jade, the jade used for this face mask does not belong to any type of jade they are familiar with.

"Let me see what you are."

His fingertips glided lightly along the edge of the jade, and his mental energy probed into the interior of the jade. With a bang, he felt as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer in the head.

Countless chaotic, twisted, filthy, and bizarre forces assaulted his mental sea.

The moment that power touched his mental energy, it almost instantly invaded his mental sea, attempting to pollute and occupy it, and assimilate him into its puppet.

Clearly, it miscalculated. This strange power never expected that it was invading a bizarre spiritual sea. Its corrupting power was instantly devoured and digested by Su Xingze's spiritual sea as soon as it invaded.

As he absorbed the power of the jade, his mental sea read several fragmented images.

First scene:

A massive black meteorite fell into the dark universe. Outside the blue planet, the meteorite suddenly broke into countless smaller pieces, which scattered and fell onto the blue planet.

Second screen shot:

A group of humans dressed in primitive animal skins danced around a giant rock, their gazes toward the meteorite filled with fanatical and fervent faith.

Third scene:

A group of people dressed in ancient costumes, with unusually long right index and middle fingers, sat silently in front of a huge meteorite. The environment they were in was extremely dark, with only the huge meteorite emitting strange and sinister waves.

The strange energy, spreading continuously like ripples on water, was blocked by a vast and majestic force just as it was about to approach the group of people, preventing it from advancing an inch.

"Hiss!

Su Xingze clutched his throbbing temples. This strange meteorite jade was too bizarre. Not only were its power attributes so similar to the Weird, but its ability to corrupt was also extremely strong.

If he hadn't known that this power was fundamentally different from the supernatural, he would have almost thought it was a remnant of some supernatural predecessor.

However, this piece of jade contains a lot of energy, but it has too many impurities, so it needs to be manually purified before absorption.

After regressing to a juvenile form after traversing the world, Su Xingze, who was extremely lacking in energy, was quite satisfied with this.

Recalling the scene he saw with his spiritual power, a strange light flickered in Su Xingze's eyes. The meteorite that fell to Earth was huge, and the jade mask in his hand was less than one ten-thousandth of it.

She couldn't help but lick her lips, her beautiful green eyes widening and filling her entire eyeballs. The unblemished green grew even deeper and more profound; if someone were staring at her at that moment, they would surely be captivated, losing their soul and becoming a living puppet in the hands of a merman.

The desire for the meteorite overwhelmed Su Xingze, and a strange, instinctive greed began to surge, constantly suppressing his reason.

In the midst of this clash, the pollution he had always kept under control gradually spread unnoticed.

In the camp, most of the Zhang family members who had gone down to the fields had returned, some of them still wet, clearly having washed themselves in the nearby stream.

Two people were carefully counting the funerary objects brought up from underground, while Uncle Zhang, who was cooking dinner, was directing two people to help him divide the dishes, and the rest of the people were doing their own things.

The invisible pollution spread out in circles like ripples on water. Wherever the pollution's power reached, everything froze for a moment. This moment was very short, but in that instant, something seemed different.

The mushrooms in the pot seemed to twitch, the vines on the tree sprouted large, fleshy, deformed tumors, and the rustling insects in the grass fell silent, as if brewing something...

Boom!

A clap of thunder suddenly rang out, and the Zhang family members in the camp looked up and glanced at the sky.

The sun had just set, and the sky was dark, but only one or two light, drifting clouds could be seen in the sky.

"A thunderclap? Could it be that an evil entity has been born?"

But after that thunderclap, there was no second thunderclap, so they assumed it was just ordinary dry thunder and put it out of their minds.

Zhang Fukong led Zhang Xiafei and the others out of the tunnel. Everything in the camp seemed normal, but when Zhang Fukong entered the camp, a hint of suspicion appeared in his eyes. However, upon closer inspection, there was nothing unusual about the camp.

Uncle Zhang had already divided up the wild vegetable and mushroom stew he had cooked, and just then Zhang Fukong returned, urging everyone to hurry up and get ready to eat.

Seeing Zhang Fukong and the others put down their things and head towards the stream, the uncle glanced at the smallest tent in the camp.

"Is that child asleep?"

As he spoke, he put down the spatula in his hand, strode over to Su Xingze's tent, and called out to him loudly.

Su Xingze was holding a pair of leather shoes, his face full of emotion.

A few minutes earlier, when he was beginning to lose control due to the allure of the meteorite's energy, a clear notification sound suddenly rang in his mind.

He came to his senses and immediately realized that he had lost control of himself, causing the pollution to spread. Fortunately, the time was short and the pollution did not have time to cause greater consequences.

As for the contaminated items, those little gadgets, they're probably no problem at all for the powerful Zhang family.

After collecting the contaminant, rolling it up and pressing it down, and making sure it wouldn't suddenly reappear, he finally had the mind to look at the message sent by Little Qilin.

It looks great, but it's water-cooled, so don't play with it for too long.

This is a response to his photo of a small waterfall pool.

Besides that sentence, there was also an email from a little Qilin, along with a pair of little leather shoes.

In Su Xingze's opinion, the shoes were outdated in style, but their only redeeming quality was the excellent materials and fine workmanship; they were made of high-quality materials.

But these were a gift from Xiao Qilin. After he complained that his shoes were too dirty to wear, Xiao Qilin managed to buy them in unfamiliar Shanghai in a short period of time and immediately sent them to him.

It truly is the best little Qilin in the world!

Outside, Uncle Zhang's voice urged him to eat. Su Xingze carefully put away the leather shoes and pretended to have just woken up as he climbed out of the tent.
