The patch of Red Heart Fruits was by a creek—the same one that ran through the tribe's lands.
The moment Qiao Xixi arrived, she saw a large expanse of Red Heart Fruit vines.
"This is the place."
"Everyone, start digging."
The beastmen who had come along all bent their heads and began to dig for Red Heart Fruits.
Qiao Xixi went to the water's edge and noticed one Red Heart Fruit vine that was much larger than the others. As she crouched down, curious, and prepared to dig, a dark shadow in the water slowly swam over.
While Qiao Xixi was focused on digging up the Red Heart Fruit, the dark shadow suddenly burst from the water, baring its fangs and lunging at her.
Qiao Xixi was startled. Before she could even react, a flash of white shot over and punched the massive Mutated Black Fish Beast right on the head.
The enraged Mutated Black Fish Beast thrashed about, slapping the surface of the water. A huge splash hit Qiao Xixi, and she lost her balance, tumbling into the creek.
