"Half a gourd?"
Mu Yuan took the object Ling Yan offered, adding a comment, "I thought it was just a broken clod of earth. Well, look at that, it really is a gourd."
Following the position of the clod Ling Yan had been manipulating, Mu Yuan indeed noticed that the protrusion and the thing sticking out on top were the gourd's neck and stopper.
"So, this is a gourd, but only the upper half?"
Ling Yan nodded.
"What about the lower half? Is it here too?" Mu Yuan asked casually.
Mei replied earnestly: [It's not here. There are no other energy fluctuations within this grotto.]
Ling Yan thought to himself, you two might as well communicate directly; there's no need to go through me.
But on the surface, he still answered Mu Yuan seriously:
"The terror is gone, but in any case, this half-gourd should be the treasure hidden in this treasure land that the purple vortex brought us to. Of course, as the General said, it's also the reason those alien beasts attacked Snowgate Island."
