Rumble!

Xiao Mu drove the Fire Dragon vehicle like a flash of lightning, headed towards the next growth spot of the Energy Fruit Tree.

Three hours later, amidst a black marsh, Xiao Mu stared at three empty Energy Fruit Trees, deeply furrowing his brows once more.

Once again, he was too late. The last energy fruits in the marsh were plucked by someone else first.

"Who?"

Xiao Mu suddenly turned his head at the sound, murderous intentions surging. The Mountain and River Seal flew out, hovering high in the air, staring intently at the ground beneath the marsh.

"Mr. Xiao, please don't be nervous, it's me, it's me!"

A tall, thin man covered in mud crawled out from beneath the marsh. His original features were hardly discernible; he was in a very pathetic state.

"It's you?"

Xiao Mu recognized the man from his voice. It was Liu Du.

"What are you doing over here?"

Xiao Mu's expression darkened, his gaze fixating on Liu Du. "Could it be that the energy fruits here were plucked by you?"

Liu Du, anxious to explain, said, "Mr. Xiao, you've misunderstood. The energy fruits here were not picked by me. If you don't believe me, you can check my Storage Box."

As he said this, he brought out a peculiar iron box, identical to the one Xiao Mu had previously obtained from Ghost Words and his companions.

Xiao Mu glanced at the iron box, showing no intention of searching it. Instead, Liu Du opened the box voluntarily for Xiao Mu to inspect.

Indeed, there were many items inside the box, primarily ordinary treasures. There were some energy fruits, but less than ten.

Xiao Mu asked, "If it wasn't you, then who was it? You came early, do you know who plucked the energy fruits here?"

Liu Du urgently responded, "Even if Mr. Xiao didn't ask, I was planning to tell. I indeed know who took the energy fruits. It was a female from the Evil Ghost Clan, riding a very powerful Evil Spirit Skeleton Warhorse. The Evil Ghosts referred to her as 'Princess'."

"Princess?"

This title gave Xiao Mu a strange feeling.

He had encountered many Evil Ghosts, but never a female one.

Now, apparently, a Princess had emerged?

Liu Du continued to share that he had just arrived and was about to pick the energy fruits when the Princess of the Evil Ghost Clan arrived with a group of Evil Ghosts.

Knowing he stood no chance, Liu Du quickly buried himself deep in the mud to hide. If he was discovered, he would face certain death.

Fortunately, after picking the energy fruits, the Princess of the Evil Ghost Clan immediately left with her group and didn't search the marsh thoroughly, allowing Liu Du to luckily escape with his life.

"Do you know where the Evil Ghost Clan Princess went? How long ago did she leave?"

Moved, Xiao Mu asked about the whereabouts of the Evil Ghost Clan Princess.

If she hadn't left long ago, he planned to give chase and retrieve the energy fruits.

"This..."

Liu Du, however, did not have the information. He had hidden deep beneath the mud and purposely covered his tracks, not daring to track the movement of the Evil Ghost Clan Princess.

Useless!

Feeling unsatisfied, Xiao Mu cursed silently.

Noticing Xiao Mu's displeasure, Liu Du showed a guilty expression. But quick to think, he suddenly asked, "Mr. Xiao, do you really need the energy fruits?"

Nonsense!

Xiao Mu shot him a glance, ignored him, climbed onto the Fire Dragon vehicle, and prepared to leave.

"Mr. Xiao, wait!"

Liu Du suddenly caught up and called out loudly, "If Mr. Xiao is in dire need of energy fruits, I happen to know of an important hidden growth site for the Energy Fruit Tree. I'd be willing to take Mr. Xiao there."
