"Oh!"

Xiao Mu turned his head, looking at Liu Du.

Liu Du hurriedly said, "Mr. Xiao, after you entered the valley, Zhu Yansheng and Zhou Shenmu, with the help of Commander Hao, also quickly entered the valley."

"Oh, so what?"

Xiao Mu slightly frowned, showing displeasure.

Zhou Shenmu and Zhu Yansheng's entry into the valley was already within Xiao Mu's expectation. The key question was, what did this have to do with him?

Seeing Xiao Mu's dissatisfaction, Liu Du panicked and hastily said, "Mr. Xiao, what you might not know is that Zhu Yansheng holds a grudge against you. Before entering the valley, he issued a warrant again for your arrest. Anyone who reports your whereabouts or kills you will receive a bounty."

"Ying Long came in late and began to negotiate with the Mutated Beings after Zhu Yansheng entered the valley. Many of the Mutated Beings are coveting the treasures in Mr. Xiao's hands and have begun to see you as prey."

After finishing, he cautiously looked at Xiao Mu, showing uneasiness.

"Huh?"

Xiao Mu asked back, looking at Liu Du's expression.

Liu Du was extremely anxious and hurriedly explained, "Please believe me, Mr. Xiao, I have no intention of being your enemy. Not to mention, you saved my life. How could I betray you?"

Xiao Mu didn't believe Liu Du's words at all and coldly said, "If it has nothing to do with you, how did you know what Ying Long said to others?"

Killing intent emerged from his face as he stared intently at Liu Du.

Ying Long's negotiations must have been spoken in private.

If they were spoken in private, how could Liu Du know? If he didn't participate, how could Liu Du possibly hear Ying Long's secret conversations with others?

Liu Du gave a wry smile and hurriedly explained, "Mr. Xiao, I possess a Spirit Ear Technique, which allows me to hear sounds a hundred times more sensitively than ordinary Mutated Beings. The reason I could hear Ying Long's negotiations is completely due to this Secret Art."

"Please believe me, Mr. Xiao, I truly did not partake in Zhu Yansheng and Ying Long's plot against you. If I'm lying, may I not die a peaceful death."

To make Xiao Mu believe him, Liu Du swore a curse, his expression full of emotion.

"Oh."

Xiao Mu looked at Liu Du and began to believe what he'd said.

Earlier, when Liu Du was being pursued and killed by three members of the Greenfin Clan, Xiao Mu was hiding behind a giant stone. Liu Du had mysteriously discovered Xiao Mu's whereabouts. Possibly, he used this Secret Art.

"Snap!"

Xiao Mu snapped his fingers, signaling the Ghost Servant.

The Ghost Servant understood what Xiao Mu wanted to do and immediately dived into the distance. After a while, he reappeared at a far distance.

"What did the Ghost Servant say?"

Xiao Mu coldly stared at Liu Du, killing intent undiminished.

Liu Du sweats profusely from his forehead, extremely nervous. He understood that Xiao Mu hadn't completely trusted him and was trying to verify his ability.

"The Ghost Servant did not say anything."

Liu Du listened carefully for a while before responding seriously.

"And now?"

Xiao Mu snapped his fingers again. The Ghost Servant responded to him, whispering, "Master, why not just kill him?"

Liu Du broke out in a cold sweat, promptly knelt down on both knees, and begged loudly, "Mr. Xiao, spare my life, I have no ill intention towards you."

"You may leave."

Xiao Mu waved his hand, commanding Liu Du to leave.

"Thank you, Mr. Xiao! Thank you!"

Liu Du, nervous and flustered, thanked him profusely, stood up, and walked off hastily.

Xiao Mu called back his Ghost Servant, brought out the Fire Dragon Vehicle, took out the map, looked at it for a moment, and then dashed towards the next energy fruit tree planting location.

One hour later, in a pile of rocks, Xiao Mu looked at the barren energy fruit tree in the rock pile and the exotic beast corpses killed by others under the tree, his brow slightly knit.

He was too late.

Other Mutated Beings had gotten a step ahead and reached the energy fruit tree before him, taking away the energy fruit.

Xiao Mu felt regretful, but quickly composed himself and moved on to the next area.

Upon delving deeper into the Infinite Valley, the area of the valley became larger and larger, and the distance between the energy fruit trees grew further and further apart.

Two and a half hours later, Xiao Mu faced two energy fruit trees that had been stripped, he furrowed his brows again.

He was beaten to it again, late once more.

If things went on like this, the spots marked on the map would likely be searched through quickly by others. If he wanted to continue obtaining energy fruits, he would have to delve deeper into the Infinite Valley.

Delving deeper into the Infinite Valley meant facing more danger.

At the same time, after delving deeper, the Infinite Valley was simply too big. Searching for energy fruits would no longer be as easy as it was now.

The distance between one energy fruit tree growing spot and another could possibly take several days to traverse.

"No matter, let's go to the last spot."

Xiao Mu looked at the map. At this moment, the closest energy fruit tree growth spot marked on the map would likely take about three hours to reach.

As for the places beyond this energy fruit tree, Xiao Mu did not plan to continue exploring. The chances of finding any remaining energy fruits were extremely low. Even if he hurried over there reluctantly, the energy fruits were most likely picked by someone else already, resulting in a futile trip and a waste of time.

If he still couldn't get the energy fruit at the next spot, Xiao Mu decided he would take his chances in the depths of the Infinite Valley.

Xiao Mu's map does not have any markings for energy fruit trees growing in the deep parts of the Infinite Valley. To find energy fruits there would truly require some luck.
