Since the task was issued by two powerful figures, they must know the level of danger in this world. Would they put Mo Mo in a life-or-death situation?

Mo Mo didn't have time to think about it, and now was not the time to think about such things. He immediately shouted, "Yuki, step back, don't touch those things!"

Now that Yuki is a being beyond the realm of anime and manga, she naturally knows about the plot and understands the power of this black mud. She dares not be negligent and quickly retreats.

The black mud, spraying everywhere, covered every corner. It seemed to be extremely corrosive, leaving a pitted depression wherever it touched.

Yuki watched the imposter Araya warily. Although she knew the danger of the Black Mud, it was precisely because of the Black Mud's danger that she had to be even more vigilant. She absolutely could not let her older brother face danger again.

"Chichi-"

Suddenly, a strange hissing sound entered her ears. Yuki subconsciously looked down, then screamed and threw away the sword in her hand.

It turns out that the sword that had just cleaved through Huang Gu's body is now covered in black mud and is still melting. Most of the blade has melted away, leaving only the hilt.

If Yuki doesn't throw away the sword in time, her hands might also get stained with the black mud.

"Such terrifying corrosive power..."

Yuuki grew increasingly nervous; without her sword, her expression became even more grave. She wasn't afraid, but worried about how to deal with the desolate valley in the current situation.

A wounded beast is the most terrifying thing.

Yuki looked at Araya, whose body, stiffened by pain, slowly began to function again.

Like a rusty robot, the valley moved slowly and stiffly, or like a device lacking power, its operation clumsy and extremely irregular.

Wait, energy?

Upon seeing this, both Yuki and Momo had a thoughtful look in their eyes.

Just then, Araya made a move. However, strangely, Araya did not attack Yuki, nor did he roar or wail. Instead, to the astonishment of Momo and Yuki, he plunged the short sword in his hand into his own chest.

It was inserted into the heart!

Mo Mo's eyelids twitched; he had been pirated!

Cough cough, no...

Mo Mo's eyelids twitched. What exactly was this guy up to?

The changes that followed immediately resolved Mo Mo's doubts.

After the short sword pierced his chest, this time the imposter Huang Gu's body did not spray black mud out again. Instead, the short sword emitted a faint light, and the black mud that was slowly writhing on the ground seemed to be summoned by some force, flying back and into his wound.

If the ground weren't still full of potholes, one might even think that the black mud spray was just an illusion.

Momo and Yuki's eyes lit up at the same time.

This fake Wasteland's actions undoubtedly had their significance.

At this critical moment in the battle, Yuki had wounded him, but instead of retaliating against Yuki, he did not wail or rage from the pain. Instead, as if to save his own life, he first used his methods to collect the black mud on the ground again.

This confirms Momo and Yuki's guesses.

This fake desolate valley... no, it's this thing. Black mud is an essential ingredient for its actions, or rather, it is itself a lump of black mud that has come to consciousness.

Mo Mo didn't know his exact origins, and probably wouldn't know for a long time, but knowing his weaknesses, Mo Mo was already prepared.

As for using his trading power on this fake desolate valley, Mo Mo would like to try it if he had the chance, but he doesn't know if this black mud would accept his trade.

The black mud returned to the body of the imposter Araya, and the wound that Yuki had cut open also healed as if reversed. However, Momo and Yuki still saw differences in the imposter Araya.

The desolate valley now seems to have been indulging in excessive drinking and womanizing, or perhaps taking too many drugs; it has lost a lot of weight, and its eye sockets have sunken.

In an instant, it turned into this state, which can only be associated with one word—weakness.

"Big brother, this is a great opportunity, let's make our move!"

Yuki's voice came through. Anyone who saw the desolate valley at this moment would know that this was an opportunity, but Mo Mo immediately rejected it.

"No, Yuki, you can't do it."

"Big brother!"

Yuki was anxious to persuade Momo that the enemy in front of them had abilities far beyond their current strength. Therefore, in Yuki's view, since the enemy was obviously in a weakened state, it was a good opportunity to take advantage of their misfortune.

However, Mo Mo refused without hesitation.

Putting everything else aside, Yuuki already has no weapon. Even with a one-meter-long sword, Yuuki would be in danger attacking Araya. Let alone now that Yuuki has no sword, only a wooden stick and a butterfly knife.

Momo was aware of the dangers of the desolate valley before them, but if it meant Yuki would have to fight to the death with the other party, even at the risk of being contaminated, Momo would absolutely not agree.

"Big brother! I..."

Yuki gritted her teeth, her body already exerting a little force. In her opinion, she absolutely had to take down this guy now, otherwise there would be endless trouble.

"...By the way, big brother, I have a pure body, I'm not afraid of being contaminated, so Yuuki is fine, I'll subdue him right away."

"Yuki, if you disobey orders, I will have Yui forcibly recall you to Valhalla right now."

Yuki's muscles, which were gathering strength, stiffened. She pursed her lips and abandoned her plan to attack, because it was clear that Momo was serious at this moment.

Momo's caution was certainly not out of fear.

Although the opponent is dangerous and could directly harm Mo Mo's life, it is not yet at the point where a life-or-death struggle is necessary.

Since the injured Wild Valley did not go berserk and fight desperately, and Mo Mo had the opportunity to deal with this dangerous Wild Valley in other ways, why did he choose to fight head-on?

"It seems you know my current state, and you don't want to fight anymore? That's the right decision. You have no idea of ​​my strength and have no chance of defeating me."

Huang Gu spoke, but this time his voice was no longer Huang Gu's voice; it had become a somewhat hoarse and broken baritone voice.

"Besides," Araya said with a sinister smile, "I really want many people to try the taste of this black mud, such as this beautiful Miss Yuki right now. She is the love of your heart, isn't she?"

"If it really comes down to a fight, I'll dye this beautiful lady completely black. As fellow time travelers, how about we treat today as a test? Besides, our goals aren't necessarily in conflict. We can fight when the day comes when we do."

Mo Mo remained silent, but Yuki was the first to retort, shouting, "Don't joke around! You're clearly just bluffing! And what you call testing is actually murder?"

"Bluster? Perhaps I am bluffing, but aren't you bluffing too? I don't know your capabilities either. As for killing... it would be best if I could kill you all, but if I can't, consider it me just saying hello."

"Since you don't believe me, let me show my sincerity again."

Araya straightened up and said, "My purpose is not aimed at any particular character. Since you're here, I guarantee I won't interfere in anything concerning any character. As for the transmigrator on the other side of the steel plate, since you brought Yuki with you, is your target the girl?"

"Ha, what a naive and interesting purpose. But it reminds me of myself back then. I had a similar purpose, but unfortunately, I ended up in this mess."

"Don't worry, I won't touch any of the women in the Accelerated World. So, will our goals still conflict? If there's no conflict, perhaps we can pretend the other doesn't exist."

The conditions in the desolate valley made Yuki pause for a moment. When it came to using her brain, she could only rely entirely on Momo.

Mo Mo's reply was also concise and efficient: "Deal."

47. The Origin of Counterfeit Goods

Mo Mo's decisiveness seemed to have surprised the imposter Huang Gu. He stared at the steel plate in front of him, hesitated for a while, as if he was hesitating whether to continue his attack.

However, in the end he still chose to give up. Just as he said, he did not know the truth about Momo, nor did Momo know the truth about him.

His strength lay in his power, which surpassed that of ordinary human society; unfortunately, he didn't use this power casually. As for Mo Mo, he had no idea of ​​Mo Mo's true strength or weakness. Mo Mo's ability to summon steel plates alone had left the imposter Huang Gu somewhat bewildered.

He had no clue as to where Momo's power came from, nor could he guess what other means Momo might have.

"Since that's the case, then I'll leave. I hope we won't have the chance to meet again. You're free to pursue your heroine, while I'm just a lowly transmigrator trying to gain something."

"I hope there won't be any conflict between us."

After saying that, the imposter Araya backed away and walked to the door, reached out and opened it. Even after he stepped out, he was still facing Yuki, the large steel plate, and Momo behind it.

"Big brother, are we just going to let him go like this?!"

Yuki's urgent voice came over, and she ran to Mo Mo's side. Her eyes were filled with confusion as she looked at Mo Mo.

However, Mo Mo looked at Yuki and smiled, saying, "Come closer, Yuki."

Yuki blinked, nodded, and moved closer to Mo Mo, though her eyes seemed somewhat flustered.

Mo Mo stroked Yuki's cheek, then placed both hands on Yuki's collar and slowly pulled it outwards, revealing Yuki's fair shoulders.

"Hey, big brother, what are you doing! Even if Yuuki likes you a lot, she'll still be angry, and your two older sisters will be angry too!"

Yuki puffed out her cheeks, her face flushed, as if trying to persuade Momo. However, Momo ignored Yuki and instead forcefully pulled open Yuki's clothes, revealing her complete shoulders.

Yuki pursed her lips and remained silent.

Behind Yuki's right shoulder, there was a noticeable crater from which wisps of black smoke were still rising.

"If I hadn't discovered it, were you still planning to continue fighting despite the risk of being corrupted by the black mud? Yuuki, although you are a Heroic Spirit, you should really be called Saber, not Berserker."

Mo Mo's tone was calm, but Yuki became somewhat flustered and said cautiously, "Big brother, it's okay. I felt it when I was injured. I can withstand that little bit of black mud, although I still can't withstand the damage."

"So the black mud on this guy's body should be very thin. It's very likely that he was only contaminated by a little bit of black mud to become like this. There wasn't much black mud on his body to begin with, and after being diluted, he probably wouldn't even be able to kill an ordinary person."

"So, big brother, let Yuuki go after him! This is our chance, we can't let him get away!"

Yuki's voice became urgent again, but Momo pressed her down onto the sofa and said, "Don't move."

Hearing Mo Mo's calm and steady voice, Yuki knew that Mo Mo had made a decision.

However, Momo's next move was somewhat unexpected for Yuki.

Momo brought over a first-aid kit and quietly bandaged Yuki's wound.

This made Yuuki ask with some confusion, "Big brother, Yuuki is a Heroic Spirit, right? If I get injured, I just need to return to the Hall of Heroes. Then tomorrow, when you summon me again, I'll be completely renewed. Isn't that too much trouble?"

"oops!"

Just as she finished speaking, Yuki was flicked on the forehead by Momo, who said, "What do you think you are? Completely renewed? Even if you are summoned again tomorrow, there are still more than 12 hours until tomorrow. If I can make things easier for you during this time, my efforts are worthwhile."

The cool alcohol and medicine made Yuuki's shoulders tremble slightly, but it made her feel happy. She secretly turned her head to look at Mo Mo's appearance and suddenly smiled, "Big brother, I think I understand why Kuroyukihime likes you. It's because of your focused look. You're so handsome when you're focused!"

No, that shouldn't be the case... Although Yui didn't quite understand the relationship between Momo and Kuroyukihime, she could sense that although Momo and Kuroyukihime met because of healing injuries, it was mostly a different atmosphere and feeling, completely different from what was happening now.

"So, Yuuki has finally fallen for me too?"

Mo Mo said, seemingly half-jokingly, that he felt differently about Yuki, since he hadn't been pursuing her from the beginning, while Yuki's feelings for him were more of a familial affection and longing.

"Well... how should I put it? I'm not quite sure what it feels like to like someone. But I've been in the hospital the whole time, and even after I recovered, it was still hard for me to fit in with people. So gradually I started to dislike boys. I felt like I couldn't communicate with them at all."

"But big brother is an exception. Yuuki doesn't quite know why... Ouch, that hurts! Big brother is mean!"

Momo helped Yuki wrap the bandage, and then gently patted the wound, instantly making Yuki grin.
