The Wolf Is Fierce and Cautious

After Ying Xiong left, no specter tried to snatch the cart from Zhao Yi anymore.

He bent over, searching under the scorching sun nearby.

"Strange... I clearly threw it here just now..."@@novelbin@@

Zhao Yi stroked his chin, a curious glint flashing in his eyes.

It didn't make sense, a thumbtack... disappeared?

After a quick glance around, he refocused his gaze on the pile of rust mixed with foot skin.

The blood had completely dried under the baking sun.

The thumbtack, originally smooth enough to reflect sunlight, was now rusted.

It blended completely with the rust pile, and its original shape had been altered by the rust, twisted into a small lump of scrap metal.

"Ordinary rust doesn't change the shape of the original item."

"So the change in the thumbtack's shape happened during the rusting process."

"If rust can change a thumbtack, does it mean it can also change other... things?"

The thought quickly flashed through Zhao Yi's mind.

The sun overhead had shrunk considerably. Taking advantage of this, Zhao Yi quickly pushed the cart to the edge of the lawn and began collecting rust grass.

The rust fragments were sharp, so Zhao Yi didn't grab them with his hands. Instead, he took out Old Liu's Property Deed.

This thing was quite tough, and the rust couldn't cut through it.
