Chapter 447: Want to Recruit Me?

“Are you the giant ginseng?”

Zhang Mu carefully examined the person in front of him who looked like Su Liang, his eyes filled with shock.

Is it a method like soul-stealing? But the aura on this person who looks like Su Liang is completely different, even if it’s soul-stealing, the owner of the body wouldn’t change, just controlled by someone else.

Ginseng King said nothing, a glimmer of light flashing in its eyes, enveloping the unsuspecting Zhang Mu and Yuan Rui, appearing in a special space, overlooking the entire Ordos City.

What exactly is its awakening ability? How can it be so powerful?

Zhang Mu felt completely powerless against this force, he had never seen anyone in the third-rank evolver with such a strong awakening ability.

Because he now feels that the connection between his soul and body has been cut off.

In other words, in this space, Zhang Mu and Yuan Rui have been forcibly separated into individual souls and empty shells of flesh by the Ginseng King’s power.

It’s terribly frightening!

“How did you do it?”

Zhang Mu’s soul is trapped inside his own body, unable to control it, but his mental power is still useful.

At this moment, the Ginseng King still ignores Zhang Mu, instead pointing them to the city below and remarking, “Look, this conflict of blood and flesh, chaos, disorder, needs to be rebuilt.”

“Rebuilt? What kind of rebuilding method is that? Humans just want to survive, naturally they have to rise up and fight back. Are we supposed to clean our necks and let zombies bite us, and eventually become pawns controlled by you like them?”

Zhang Mu snorted coldly, looking at the Ginseng King and questioning, “Aren’t you a mutated plant? Why do you want to get involved in the conflict between humans and zombies? What benefits can Grave Blood give you?”

Finally, the Ginseng King slowly turned around, staring into Zhang Mu’s eyes and speaking slowly.

“Humans have a saying, ‘No gain, no fame.’ By helping that guy, I must have received something in return. All I have to do is lead the zombies to deal with humans. Let him handle the biggest trouble himself while I get what I want. Why wouldn’t I do it?”

Looking at the young face that seemed to hold so much wisdom, Zhang Mu fell silent. He couldn’t figure out this person’s background, but the power of a third-rank spiritual evolver would not be wrong.

While others may not know, does he not understand the huge gap between a third-rank evolver and a second-rank?

“Originally, you weren’t much different from those ignorant humans below you, but there is something about you that piques my curiosity. You have brought me a great surprise.”

The Ginseng King’s gaze shifted towards Yuan Rui, who was standing closely beside Zhang Mu, and suddenly smiled.

“Your pure spiritual power is more enticing to me now than the aura you had before.”

The aura mentioned by the Ginseng King as the Blood Lotus, which is a mutated plant known as The Source of Wood, surprisingly pays more attention to Yuan Rui’s spiritual power than The Source of Wood itself, which is very suspicious.

Perhaps it… seemed to have caught onto Zhang Mu’s speculation. The Ginseng King smiled brightly, but it sent chills down Zhang Mu’s spine.

“Exactly as you suspected, the current me is no longer just a member of mutated plants. The aura you possess indeed posed a great temptation and threat to me when I was still in my original state.”

But now, it has become less important.

Because I have already transformed.

Not a mutant plant, not a zombie, let alone a human like you.”

“Then what exactly are you!” Zhang Mu stared at the Ginseng King, who had been muttering to himself for a long time, and shouted.

The Ginseng King smiled, without any earthly aura, showing his white teeth, and said each word slowly.

“I consider myself a clan.”

A person is a whole tribe, what has happened to him?

Ignoring Zhang Mu’s gloomy gaze, the Ginseng King continued, looking at the capital city beneath his feet, his gaze wandering.

“Throughout the ages, wild ginseng has been a precious medicine pursued by kings, nobles, and even ordinary people. For what? Simply for longevity, to prolong life.

Because wild ginseng is the plant that is most similar to humans, it can replenish human vitality. The reason why humans pursue wild ginseng, thinking that the older it is, the better, especially if it looks more human-like, is because we have spirits, we just lack a trigger, a way to shape our spirits.”

Zhang Mu stared at the Ginseng King in front of him, then continued, “So, under the stimulation of evolutionary ripples, has this hundred-year-old wild ginseng become sentient?”

The Ginseng King looked at Zhang Mu with increasing curiosity, “Are you calling that power evolutionary ripples? It does seem fitting.”

I hid very well. Only one person ever found me. Instead of immediately digging me out, he provided even deeper protection for me, probably to let me grow even older.

However, that person never came back afterward. I suspect he passed away, so I pity you humans.

“As for those evolutionary ripples, they did give me a chance to awaken, but you are mistaken about one thing.”

The Ginseng King’s tone was very calm, but it still frightened both Zhang Mu and Yuan Rui across from him.

“If we were to really talk about age, I am not a hundred years old. I should be a thousand years old.”

A thousand-year-old ginseng?

Zhang Mu suddenly understood why this Ginseng King is only of third-rank power now and calls itself Ginseng King. It truly has the capability, but for some reason, Zhang Mu had never heard of this huge creature in later times.

Even the hundred-year-old ginseng has disappeared now. The appearance of twenty-year-old wild ginseng caused quite a stir in the market, enough to make wealthy merchants fight for it. This is a thousand-year-old ginseng!

“Last time I saw you, you absorbed a lot of medicinal herbs, fused them together. Why do you now appear here in the form of Su Liang, the one who traded with Su Rui?” Is it you?”

The Ginseng King shook its head and said, “No, this body is the reward for my actions this time. It was the ‘Grave Blood’ you mentioned that gave me freedom, but the price this time is to help him reshape all of you humans.”

Zhang Mu sarcastically looked at the Ginseng King and said, “You want to remake us into puppets by his side? Since that’s the case, why bother telling me all this? I have no power to resist you at all.”

This time, the Ginseng King finally faced Zhang Mu squarely and slowly said, “You are different from other humans. The reason I am telling you all this is just to give you an alternative path that doesn’t lead to the same end as the others.”

This thousand-year-old mountain ginseng actually wants to recruit him?

A very strange expression appeared on Zhang Mu’s face, but he put on the same smile.

“So, should I be grateful to you? What future do we have? I have killed your zombie king, and soon the zombie army, controlled by the evolvers from the capital, will be wiped out.”

“What will happen if you don’t take action yourself?”

“Yes, you should see what happens to them, maybe you’ll change your mind.”

Ginseng King enlarged the city’s scenery, slightly smiling.

“Let’s begin then.”
