371: Fortunately, Mulan's brain has come to its senses?

At this moment, Li Mu, who was on his way to Shi Niang's City, received a prompt from the System.

Zhu Ping?

Li Mu watched the footage of Zhu Ping fighting Jack at the time, and Li Mu's brows furrowed slightly in thought.

This foreigner's innate skill is very interesting, especially what he ate while fighting Zhu Ping.

Li Mu asked the System to inquire about his innate skill and what he ate.

A moment later, with a 'ding', the System's inquiry results were out.

"So that's how it is."

Li Mu lightly tapped the screen, closing the System interface.

This foreigner named Jack actually possessed such a rare Shadow talent.

This ability allowed him to parasitize in others' shadows during battle, making him impossible to guard against.

Moreover, as his cultivation continuously increased, he could also cast Shadow Clone techniques, killing enemies unseen.

Thinking of this, Li Mu couldn't help but exclaim, "No wonder Zhu Ping and the others couldn't find him in the forest before; he was hiding in the shadows of the bushes."

Then, Li Mu thought of Jack consuming a special red Medicinal Pill.

After careful observation, he discovered that these Medicinal Pills were made from special demon cores they had researched, which could enhance Spiritual Qi in a short period.

Seeing the red demon core Medicinal Pill Jack swallowed, Li Mu couldn't help but shake his head.

If this were just an ordinary Medicinal Pill, obtained through normal refining methods, then it would be fine.

Although consuming it would boost Spiritual Qi in a short time, afterward, at most, one would only be weak for a few days.

However, the demon core Medicinal Pills researched by Jack and his group were not like that.

If too many of these Medicinal Pills were consumed, would the human body mutate first, or would it succumb to the side effects and turn into a humanoid Puppet first?

Thinking of this, Li Mu's lips curved slightly upward, revealing a cold smile.

He decided to wait and see what other tricks the United States would pull next.

He patted off non-existent dust from his body and left with a smile on his lips.

…………

Jingcheng.

Grand Elder's office.

Zhu Ping reported Jack's matter to the Grand Elder, who immediately arranged for personnel to investigate this person.

Not long after, the guard reported the results.

"This person is from the United States, named Jack Adolf."

"About half a month ago, Jack Adolf activated his innate potential, and according to the information report, his innate skill is Shadow."

The Grand Elder frowned and asked, "Shadow?"

The guard nodded and replied, "Yes, this ability allows him to parasitize in others' shadows during battle, and not only that, as his cultivation continuously increases, he can also cast Shadow Clone techniques."

The Grand Elder's expression turned grave upon hearing this, saying, "This person is a major hidden danger; he must be eliminated!"

The guard glanced at the data and continued, "According to Zhu Ping and his group, Jack Adolf's aura disappeared after entering the forest, presumably because he activated his Shadow skill and escaped by parasitizing within the shadows of the trees."

Zhu Ping was shocked.

What.

What the heck.

What did I just hear?

Parasitized inside a shadow and then ran away?

What kind of Heaven-Defying innate skill is this?

"So... he might have still been in the forest last time, and we left..."

Tang Jun frowned, a hint of annoyance on his face, "I didn't expect this person's innate skill to be so tricky. If we had known in advance, we would have cut down all the trees in the forest at that time, and this person would naturally have nowhere to hide."

Xiang Wenyan sighed, shaking her head helplessly, "You probably didn't hear clearly. As long as he activates his Shadow skill in advance, he can hide anywhere there's a shadow, regardless of time or place."

Zhu Ping shouted indignantly, "This is too Heaven-Defying! Why can people from the United States activate such an awesome talent?"

Then, he turned his gaze to Tang Jun, placing a hand on his shoulder, and earnestly said to him, "Son, it's up to you now. Your skill can perfectly replicate his Shadow skill. This way, we can understand his weakness and then figure out how to kill him."

Ke Ming suddenly had a flash of inspiration and excitedly exclaimed, "Why bother thinking about weaknesses? Just eliminate him at night!"

Zhu Ping suddenly realized, a cunning glint flashing in his eyes, and echoed, "Exactly, that makes sense! Find him first, then kill him!"

He suddenly remembered the red stuff Jack Adolf ate and immediately asked Xu Zheng, who was beside him, "Brother Xu, is there any red Medicinal Pill that, when consumed, rapidly increases Spiritual Qi?"

Xu Zheng was startled, seemingly not expecting why Zhu Ping would ask this.

However, he still explained, "There is, but it's not red; it's completely black. The red Medicinal Pill that rapidly increases Spiritual Qi you're talking about, this is the first time I've heard of it from you."

"Moreover, this type of Medicinal Pill that rapidly boosts Spiritual Qi causes a long period of weakness after use. Generally, Cultivators, unless absolutely necessary, avoid using it."

Zhu Ping froze, "Ah, this!"

Ke Ming stepped forward at this moment, holding a video, and handed it to Xu Zheng.

"Brother Xu, look..."

Xu Zheng took the video, and after watching it, his expression became solemn.

"This is..." He turned to Ke Ming, "Where did you encounter this person?"

Ke Ming then recounted the entire incident to Xu Zheng.

Xu Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "The shape of what he took out does indeed resemble a Medicinal Pill, but currently, I am the only one who has received the Legacy of Medicinal Pills. So how did they come to possess Medicinal Pills?"

"Moreover, after he consumed the red Medicinal Pill, his Spiritual Qi surged incredibly fast; it's simply too unusual."

"Even a Medicinal Pill that boosts Spiritual Qi requires time to take effect after consumption. For his Spiritual Qi to surge so quickly after only a minute of consumption is simply incredible."

"Perhaps this is the United States' latest developed Medicinal Pill," Zhu Ping speculated.

"Regardless, this matter must be taken seriously. Immediately send people to investigate thoroughly, and also, can you give me one of the Medicinal Pills he ate for me to study?" Xu Zheng instructed seriously.

"Okay, next time I encounter that bastard, I'll definitely kill him first, then snatch his red Medicinal Pill for you," Zhu Ping said with a smile, nodding in agreement.

Xu Zheng looked at the video in his hand, musing to himself: The appearance of this type of Medicinal Pill undoubtedly breaks the existing balance.

If it were to be used by someone with ulterior motives, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Hopefully, Zhu Ping and his group can catch this guy and obtain one of these red Medicinal Pills.

Just then, Lan Kun suddenly spoke, "Didn't Brother Xu just say that after consuming such Medicinal Pills, the body becomes very weak and requires a period to recover?

Therefore, if we can find this person, then this period will be the best time to capture Jack Adolf."

After hearing Lan Kun's words, everyone nodded in agreement.

However, Jin Meiting frowned and raised a crucial question, "But, that Jack Adolf can parasitize in others' shadows, which is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack."

Her concerns were not unfounded; after all, finding someone hidden in a shadow within a crowd was indeed an extremely challenging task.

Just as everyone fell into contemplation, Xin Mulan suddenly pointed out incisively, "Why would that bastard come here? Why not just ambush him at the original location!"

Her suggestion made everyone's eyes light up. That's right, as long as they set up an ambush at the original location and wait for Jack Adolf to appear, they could capture him in one fell swoop.

Who would have thought that the usually simple-minded Xin Mulan would have a moment of insight...
