Bang!

Sizzle!

Phew!

Crack!

The four of them continuously attacked the third-ranked evil zombie, which had lost all its defensive abilities, quickly killing it.

Power +7.

As Xiao Mu received this notification, the Emperor's Will Shackles also disappeared.

The Xuanming aura was too scarce and the Emperor's Will Shackles were time-limited. If they didn't seize the opportunity to kill the zombie, they might not kill it before the Emperor's Will Shackles disappeared.

Any delay could have possibly allowed the third-ranked evil zombie to escape.

Thinking about this, Xiao Mu couldn't help but feel a bit fearful retrospectively.

After clearing the scene and picking up the energy crystals, the three returned to the mountain cave.

Before long, the energy fruit was ripe and Zhao Yan picked it.

"I didn't expect to get an energy fruit. The harvest is pretty good. Let's divide this harvest."

Getting an energy fruit just by going out is an exceptionally joyful harvest. You see, many private forces had gone into the mountains multiple times and could not necessarily get an energy fruit, let alone getting energy crystals.

Of course, this was mainly related to the level of mutants they were dealing with. When dealing with the second-ranked evil zombie or a Blue Blood Ghost, it was not yet time for them to get good stuff. However, killing a third-ranked evil zombie or a red Blood Demon, they could get some good items either way.

Third-ranked evil zombies and red Blood Demons, no matter what, could be considered a small leader among the monsters. They could dominate a piece of land, a feat that a second-ranked evil zombie or a Blue Blood Ghost couldn't accomplish.

When it comes to third-ranked evil zombies and red Blood Demons, they could dominate.

Coming back to the point, as of now, in the human world, excluding the Transcendent Order with peculiar origins, like Qing Yan, few individuals, or even groups, have the ability to kill a third-ranked evil zombie.

Even Xiao Mu himself does not have the ability. Despite having the help of the Ghost Servants, he must rely on his friends.

After making his point, Xiao Mu immediately saw the joy in the faces of Zhao Yan and Wang Tong. Their eyes were fixed on the energy fruit in his hand.

Everyone wanted this energy fruit.

However, Xiao Mu planned to use it in the most appropriate way.

"I am thinking about the energy fruit like this."

After looking at Wang Tong, Xiao Mu continued: "Wang Tong, you have just entered the early stage of the Bone Forger Realm, and even if you use this energy fruit, you will not be able to advance to the middle stage. And Zhao Yan has eaten an energy fruit before, so she is about to advance to the middle stage of the third level mutant."

"Next, we need to explore the Treasure Land and urgently need to increase our strength. Therefore, I suggest giving this energy fruit to Zhao Yan first, let her advance to the middle stage of mutants, and then discuss other things."

"What do you think?"

Having said this, Xiao Mu turned to Wang Tong.

"Haha!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Tong laughed, "Well, Xiao Mu, I initially wanted to fight for the fruit myself, but since you've proposed it this way, let's give it to Zhao Yan first. I have no objections."

Taking a pause, he continued: "I have known you, Mu, for quite a while. Simply put, I know you won't disadvantage us. Thus, I have no objections. If you say that Zhao Yan should use it, then let's let Zhao Yan use it."

"Alright then."

Xiao Mu nodded, Wang Tong had been his most steadfast supporter since they met, and also trusted him the most. This was unquestionable.

This was also why Xiao Mu valued him. Otherwise, Wang Tong's strength and talent were average, and Xiao Mu could abandon him to find a better partner.

But in comparison to a comrade who trusted each other and could rely on, strength evidently was not the first priority.

What's the use of a partner with strength if there isn't mutual trust?

Even worse, you need to be cautious not to be stabbed in the back by them when you are in crisis, which makes it meaningless. It's better not to have such a partner.

Therefore, although Wang Tong's strength is not very strong, Xiao Mu is willing to call upon him every time there are benefits. What Xiao Mu sought was this level of trust.

"Alright then, let's give this energy fruit to Zhao Yan. Zhao Yan, you take out seventy points, give thirty to Wang Tong and I'll take forty."

Saying this, he handed the energy fruit to Zhao Yan.

As for the allocation plan, it was still based on the initial agreement when the three started to cooperate.

With their friendships, Xiao Mu excluded the Ghost Servant from the division. Otherwise, if cooperating with others, the Ghost Servant would definitely be counted in.

"I knew it! Nothing ever goes wrong when I'm with Boss Mu!"

Wang Tong gave Xiao Mu a thumbs up.

The one who received the reward, who didn't count the Ghost Servant in, was still grateful to Xiao Mu. Otherwise, relying on Xiao Mu's strength, plus the Ghost Servant's, if they were to divide the benefits based on their strengths, both he and Zhao Yan wouldn't get much.

He was deliberately taking care of these two close comrades.

If it were others, he wouldn't do so.

"Thank you, Mr. Xiao, Thank you, Wang Tong."

Upon receiving the energy fruit, Zhao Yan sincerely thanked Xiao Mu and Wang Tong.

"Eat it."

Xiao Mu said.

This naturally grown energy fruit was very special. After eating it, you could quickly absorb the energy and enhance your realm. Just in this regard, it was far superior to the Ginseng that Xiao Mu had mutated using energy points.

After all, Xiao Mu's mutated Ginseng only used one energy point to mutate each time.

Using one energy point for mutation, the Ginseng produced from the mutation was not intact and couldn't fully unleash the efficacy of the mutant fruit.

Xiao Mu did this to save energy points, it was the only option.

Upon consuming the energy fruit, Zhao Yan closed her eyes.

The cultivation method of mutants has a huge difference from that of martial artists and mystics of the Taoism. It doesn't require sitting and running power. All you have to do is circulate energy throughout your body, and deeply alter your genes and cells.

Sizzle!

As the energy brilliance flows around Zhao Yan's body, through the skin on her face, Xiao Mu and Wang Tong could see the energy beneath her skin constantly moving.

With the movement of energy, Zhao Yan was continuously releasing sparks.

Finally, the more sparks she released, the more she was enveloped in sparks, making her look like a bolus of electricity and light.

Sizzle!

After a long time, the sparks suddenly receded, and Zhao Yan opened her eyes, a look of joy on her face.

After eating this energy fruit, her strength successfully advanced to the middle stage of a level three mutant, becoming a being with strength comparable to a Blue Blood Ghost or a second-ranked evil zombie.

"Great!"

Xiao Mu was thrilled at the sight.

The power of the lightning mutation was very special. Not only was it quick, but the condensed Electric Light Whip, apart from remote support, had the ability to restrict the actions of the enemy.

Previously, due to her low strength, Zhao Yan's role in the battle was not significant. Now with her promotion to a mid-level third-ranked mutant, her contribution to the team was likely to increase geometrically.
