Chapter 305 — The Ginseng Emperor Self-Destructs to Annihilate the Overlords

So the instant Shi Jin brought out Ginseng Baby in "full battle mode," the Snake Lord and the Earth Ape Demon stopped attacking the Gem Cat, their gazes drawn as one to the thing in Shi Jin's hand.

They stared with bloodshot eyes, swallowed hard, and felt the trembling of their bloodline power.

Holy crap, there really is an Immortal Ginseng.

This Pirate King is a good man.

He really left behind a treasure like this!!

Ordinarily, Ginseng Baby did not even dare go "full battle mode" within the team, terrified its teammates would tear it apart, but now, it finally had no pressure, displaying its allure to the utmost.

A pity Ginseng Baby had not yet been buffed to Overlord level by the Power of Time's Confluence, otherwise there would be no problem at all in saying its grade rivaled legendary-tier resources.

"Ah—"

"None of you will get it."

After bringing out Ginseng Baby, Shi Jin opened his mouth wide, instinctively about to stuff Ginseng Baby into it.

"Human!! Stop!!"

"Let go of that Immortal Ginseng!!"

"Courting death!!!"

The Snake Lord and the Earth Demon Ape's eyes went red, and under extreme fury their combat power even surged directly, together shattering the Gem Cat's psychic shield and sending the Gem Cat tumbling head over heels, angrily eating a mouthful of dust.

"This is too much for a cat to bear!"

At this moment, the Snake Lord and the Earth Demon Ape had only one thought.

Stop Shi Jin!

Shi Jin absolutely must not be allowed to eat the Immortal Ginseng.

These humans are rotten to the core.

They would actually destroy the Immortal Ginseng rather than give it to them.

Yes, in their view, such a treasure being eaten by a human was no different from being destroyed.

"Snatch it!!!"

"We'll snatch it too!!"

At this moment, several great pirates hidden among the crowd, capable of contending with Overlords, finally could not hold back any longer under their pet beasts' intense trembling!

How could they endure it? After all, the information their pet beasts fed back was that eating this fruit gave them a sure chance at becoming Overlord level.

Among these great pirates, there was no lack of quasi-Legends whose Beast-Taming Space had reached level seven but whose pet beasts had not yet reached Overlord level. Right now, this fruit was absolutely worth risking their lives to contend for.

Shi Jin's move to eat Ginseng Baby instantly made him the public enemy of the entire island.

Yet just then, Ginseng Baby in Shi Jin's hand suddenly opened its eyes, a power erupting from its whole body, blasting Shi Jin away from its side with a "boom," then transforming plants into wings and fleeing toward the sky!!

Seeing this, everyone was stunned, and Shi Cen shouted in disbelief: "Oh no, the Immortal Ginseng is a living thing, it's running!!!"

No one had expected such a turn of events.

But by this time, the various factions could no longer care about anything else. Their primary target shifted directly from Shi Jin to Ginseng Baby flying into the sky.

After all, Ginseng Baby at this moment was still continuously emitting fragrance, and the fragrance was even growing stronger.

"Eee!!!" Under countless auras locking on, Ginseng Baby fleeing into the sky was practically sprinting with tears in its eyes.

Although it had made the decision itself to find a chance to self-destruct.

But did it have to be such a huge scene? How cruel.

[Go, Ginseng Baby, the future belongs to you.]

At this moment, Shi Jin, blasted away by Ginseng Baby and sitting on the ground with both hands propping up his body, looked at Ginseng Baby in the sky and thought to himself.

Right now, no one cared about Shi Jin anymore, not even that Shi Jin had spatial equipment, because after Shi Jin was blasted away, the Gem Cat almost instantly split off a "clone" to protect him, while its "true body" also joined the battle for Ginseng Baby.

With an Overlord clone blocking the way, no one was confident they could harm Shi Jin.

Even having obtained spatial equipment, it was a hot potato.

By comparison, the Immortal Ginseng could be eaten directly once snatched, yielding immediate benefits. Anyone could guess which to choose.

Moreover, the Immortal Ginseng's spectacle was even grander.

Of course, some people found it strange at this moment, wondering why this Immortal Ginseng looked exactly like Ginseng Baby, but it was no big problem. Whose Ginseng Baby could emit such an alluring fragrance? The Immortal Ginseng resembling Ginseng Baby was perfectly normal, since both belonged to the ginseng race.

The battle situation on Heat Island changed by the second.

Now the most dumbfounded were Shi Jie, Xiao Qin, Huang Qi, Qin Mingzhi, and others acquainted with Shi Jin.

Their mouths hung wide open at that moment, utterly unable to comprehend what Shi Ying had just done.

What had happened?

Was there really such a thing as an undying ginseng?

No, that couldn't be right.

That was no undying ginseng at all.

Wasn't that the Ginseng Baby that Shi Jin had contracted? That was Ginseng Baby!!

Xiao Qin, Huang Qi, and Qin Mingzhi, the three beast tamers who knew Shi Jin's pet beast data, all stared at Shi Jin with wide eyes.

Shi Jin: This is all part of the plan.

"Sister Shi... remember, don't let our own people chase after the undying ginseng, or they'll suffer the consequences."

...

"Yiya—"

At that moment, Ginseng Baby was still tearing across the ground in tears.

There was no help for it.

If it didn't run far enough, it feared it would blow up along with Shi Jin and the others.

The self-destruction of an Overlord-level being that surpassed its limits was no joke.

"Stop right there!!!"

In their contest for the undying ginseng, these dire beasts were going all out.

The intimidation of the Serpent Lord and the Earth Devil Ape swept out almost like a hurricane.

Yet they dared not push too hard.

They were afraid of damaging the undying ginseng and causing its nourishing effects to drain away.

And so it came to pass that Ginseng Baby fled quite easily, shouldering the intimidation of two Overlords.

But the other pet beasts chasing after Ginseng Baby were not so lucky.

Anything below Monarch level was knocked unconscious by the intimidation of the two Overlords.

The two Overlords would not permit a repeat of what had just happened; they would not permit the undying ginseng to be eaten by any other lesser household beast.

Rumble.

The Serpent Lord flew by special means, while the Earth Devil Ape could not fly at all—yet with a single leap from the ground, the whistle of air splitting rang out, and it was no different from flight, its speed equally terrifying.

"The undying ginseng is mine!!"

"Mine!!!"

The roars of the two Overlords rang out, their gazes growing ever more frenzied, drool streaming as they flew. The reason was simple: as Ginseng Baby fled, its aura grew larger and larger, as though the more time elapsed, the more nourishing it became.

[Energy Value]: 5 million

10 million!

20 million!!

30 million!!

The reason the energy value swelled was that Ginseng Baby had now begun converting the power of Time-Contained and the power of Moonburst.

Aided by the power of Time-Contained, not only was its own level rising, but its proficiency with Moonburst was growing as well.

The process was agony for Ginseng Baby, which felt the immense burden its body was bearing.

Yet at the thought that this was a step it had to pass through to grow and transform, it endured.

Of course, though Ginseng Baby's aura grew ever stronger, the countless dire beasts realized nothing at all.

There was no help for it.

The impression of it as a heavenly treasure had already been seared into their minds.

Who would ever notice that a fine meal smelled too good?

Because of the peculiarity of its race, the stronger its energy, the richer and more fragrant its scent became.

The hazy moonlight shone upon Ginseng Baby, making it seem especially enticing.

40 million!
