Looking at this system prompt, Mo Xiao’s brow furrowed. “How could the grudge of the Wood Clan appear in this place?”
Jiang He, who was admiring the scenery excitedly beside him, suddenly noticed that Mo Xiao was motionless. “Mo Xiao? What’s wrong? What happened?”
Mo Xiao looked at Jiang He in silence and asked, “Did you notice anything strange about those people outside just now?”
When Mo Xiao mentioned those people again, Jiang He’s expression also changed slightly. “1 don’t think there’s anything wrong… 1 just couldn’t detect any information about them, no matter how hard I tried.”
“With their strength, their levels shouldn’t be much higher than ours. Maybe they used some special items?” Mo Xiao pondered.
Hearing this, Mo Xiao nodded thoughtfully. “It seems they really came from this secret realm.”
“From the secret realm? What do you mean?” Jiang He asked curiously.
Mo Xiao looked at Jiang He and finally told her about the debuff.
“This… This is so strange. Why would such a debuff exist?” Jiang He was astonished. If she hadn’t seen the buff on Mo Xiao herself, she wouldn’t have believed it.
“Perhaps… they are not people from our world but belong to this secret realm!” Mo Xiao said with a serious expression. “According to this situation, this secret realm won’t be too simple…”
“Bang!”
Just as the two were pondering what to do next, the sound of something heavy landing suddenly came from behind them.
Mo Xiao looked in the direction of the sound and saw a giant peach had dropped not far from them.
As the two were puzzled, the peach suddenly opened a pair of black eyes, and two green leaves hung beside its body like ears.
Holding a not-too-long tree branch with a durian hanging on it, it looked like a meteor hammer.
“What is this thing? A monster? Why does it look like a peach?” Mo Xiao was also stunned, looking at the peach-like creature and using the Detection Technique.

“A level 20 monster? At least its attributes seem normal,” Mo Xiao looked at the Leaf Spirit and breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang He looked at the Leaf Spirit with a smile on her face. “It’s so cute!”
“According to the introduction, it shouldn’t attack us first. Let’s test if this debuff is real or not,” Mo Xiao said and walked towards the Leaf Spirit.
As Mo Xiao spoke, he approached the Leaf Spirit.
As he approached, the previously cute-looking Leaf Spirit suddenly turned its eyes red and swung the durian hammer at him.
“It seems all the monsters here will be hostile to me.” Mo Xiao sighed helplessly and swung his sword.

The Leaf Spirit instantly fell to the ground, turned into starlight, and disappeared.

“A disposable item that guarantees dizziness? Not bad,” Mo Xiao said, rubbing his hands on the hammer.
As Mo Xiao spoke, he rubbed it in his hand.

“Wow? Unable to use skills and items? A PvP artifact!” Seeing this description, Mo Xiao was delighted.
Just as Mo Xiao was excitedly whispering to himself as usual, Jiang He looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Hearing her voice, Mo Xiao’s body stiffened abruptly. His previous actions were quite natural, clearly forgetting that Jiang He was still beside him.
“What… What’s wrong?” Mo Xiao swallowed nervously, praying in his heart that Jiang He hadn’t seen his actions.
Jiang He looked at Mo Xiao’s somewhat nervous appearance and tilted her head curiously. “1 see you muttering to yourself, curious about what you’re up to.” “You don’t think I’d be angry because you killed it, right?” Jiang He seemed to think of something and quickly said, “No, no, it’s just a wild monster, although it’s kind of cute, I’m not angry about it.”
“Ahaha, that’s good then,” Mo Xiao awkwardly scratched his head. Since Jiang He had already made up an explanation for him, he naturally followed along.
“Here, take this.” After thinking for a moment, Mo Xiao directly handed the Meteor Hammer to Jiang He.
“Huh? Isn’t this the durian that the Leaf Spirit had? Can such a thing be dropped too?” Jiang He took the durian and her expression suddenly changed the next moment. “Orange-tier item?! You… Your drop rate is way too high!” Seeing Jiang He’s shocked expression, Mo Xiao thought for a moment and said, “I have a lucky talent. The drop rate for high-level equipment is especially high for me. If you need to open any boxes in the future, you can find me.”
The ‘luck’ talent was truly a bug, and it was his biggest secret that Mo Xiao wouldn’t tell Jiang He.
“No wonder you have so many powerful items! So that’s how it is!” Jiang He suddenly realized and nodded, “You should have told me earlier. I opened all the treasure chests in the Black Ant Nest, what a shame.”
“Treasure chests are something that won’t be in short supply. Let’s go, let’s explore this fruit forest.” Mo Xiao said, collecting the dropped items, looking around, and walking along a small path.
The once peaceful fruit forest gradually came alive as the two explored further..
