Chapter 304: Walking Piranha Plant

Hua Yang only brought Yan Yan and Gu Xiaoyue this time. One of them was familiar with the laboratory terrain and could enter the space with Hua Yang at the critical moment without any worries.

The main reason Hua Yang brought Gu Xiaoyue here this time was not because she was indispensable or how amazing she was, but because half of the plants in this zoo were rare.

Last night, Hua Yang used crystal cores to cram Gu Xiaoyue's ability level up. After accumulating a lot of energy, she successfully broke through to the intermediate level, becoming the second intermediate-level ability user in the team after Hua Yang.

There are two ways for plant-type mutants to advance when they reach the intermediate level.

One type still relies on the plant vines that are triggered when it awakens to upgrade. Its attack power is not strong, but as a combat auxiliary control system, it is very powerful.

After reaching the intermediate level, Gu Xiaoyue, who originally had only five vines, can use nine vines to attack the enemy. However, if facing a gold or earth-type mutant with strong defense, the binding force of these vines is not enough. The enemy may break free in an instant after tying up the person.

Another promotion direction for the plant system, even in the last ten years of the world, few people know about it. Plant system psychics have an affinity for all kinds of plants. Even the most common plants are energy components of nature.

If a plant type is being hunted by an enemy, hiding in a forest or a place with many plants, he can rely on his affinity with flowers and plants to seek their protection and hide in them without being discovered.

If it is a spiritual plant, it can also transform its own spiritual energy to help plant-based mutants quickly recover their mental strength.

Hua Yang brought Gu Xiaoyue here for a purpose that had nothing to do with ordinary plants, not even spiritual plants could do it. It had to be an evolved plant like the rose vine.

Looking at the entire Haicheng, is there any place with more rare plants than in the zoo?

Once a plant-type mutant reaches the intermediate level, as long as he can establish a mental communication channel with evolved plants, he can use those evolved plants to fight.

This is a bit similar to the function of Hua Yang Space when it imprints small pets. After throwing animals or plants into the space, let the space imprint them, and you can establish a spiritual connection with them and obey her orders.

Intermediate-level plant-based psychics, relying on their affinity with plants, can establish channels of spiritual communication with evolved plants. This is equivalent to skipping the step of the flower spirit imprint and communicating directly with plants to let them help them fight.

The higher the affinity of the plant system, the faster the spiritual channel will be established. As long as the spiritual power is sufficient, there is no limit to the number. As long as the affinity is high enough, the spiritual communication channel established with the psychic will not disappear.

In other words, the more these plants like you, the less likely they are to leave you, and they will fight for you and defend you against enemies. The process of getting along with plants that have established spiritual communication channels is a process of brushing up your favorability. The higher the favorability, the more loyal the plants will be to you, and it is not impossible that they will even sacrifice themselves for the psychic.

This alternative way of advancing the plant system requires a very strong mental force, but the advantage is that it does not need to abandon the original plant system attack method. In other words, if Gu Xiaoyue succeeds, she can add a more powerful attack and life-saving method based on the original plant system.

When Hua Yang told Gu Xiaoyue this, she danced with joy. "Really? If I also had a plant pet like the rose vine, wouldn't my fighting power be soaring?"

Hua Yang nodded, "In theory, yes. But you have just upgraded to the intermediate level, and your mental power is limited. We can only choose some evolved plants with similar mental power or level to you for you to establish a mental communication channel. The rose vine is too high-level and not suitable for you."

"Ah... over there, Yangyang, look at that plant with a big flower bud over there. Isn't it beautiful? I want one like that!" The two walked out of the laboratory and walked a short distance away, and came to an artificial lake with obvious signs of artificial excavation.

Gu Xiaoyue suddenly pointed to a clump of plants growing by the water. There were several clumps of the same plants and six or seven identical flowers where the flower was. Each flower was as big as a washbasin and was bright red. The flowers and buds swayed gently in the breeze, which was very pleasing to the eye.

Hua Yang pulled Gu Xiaoyue away from the freshwater lake, and then stared at her with a bad look on her face. "That's a carnivorous plant. I don't know if it's an evolved plant."

Gu Xiaoyue's eyes suddenly lit up, "The Piranha Plant is great! It will be so cool when it is used in battle!"

Hua Yangtou Dadi pulled her along as he explained, "It's unclear if that Piranha Plant is an evolved plant. If it isn't, it's useless. If it is, we can't escape."

"Swish swish!"

Hua Yang's heart suddenly jumped, and she turned around to see, could she be so unlucky? It really was the evolved plant, the Piranha Plant.

"What are you looking at? Come with me now!"

Hua Yang dragged Gu Xiaoyue to the laboratory without saying anything. "Gu Xiaoyue, you are such a bad guy. Let's go back to the laboratory to avoid the limelight. These carnivorous plants are probably chasing us because they are short of food. As long as we enter the laboratory and close the door, we can escape the attack of these carnivorous plants."

After finally returning to the laboratory, the two researchers were out of breath. Hua Yang, Gu Xiaoyue, Yan Yan and the other five also finally returned to the laboratory to relax and rest. "Quickly lock all the doors and windows."

"Huff, huff, huff, huff." Gu Xiaoyue looked at the laboratory door with lingering fear and took a deep breath.

"Yangyang, if you hadn't reacted quickly, I would have died here today..."

Hua Yang was still in shock, because she suddenly felt that the bunch of carnivorous plants had surrounded the laboratory door.

The sound of "dong dong dong" continued, sounding like someone was knocking on the door as if playing a prank. However, although the knocks were loud, the bunch of carnivorous plants might not be able to break through the metal door of the laboratory in a short time.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the knocking sound on the door continued. After a while, the five people in the laboratory thought they were hallucinating.

"Yangyang, these carnivorous plants don't look that big, why should we be so afraid of them?"

Hua Yang stroked her forehead, "Don't underestimate it because it's small, but it can swallow food that's five times bigger than itself. Even if you have powerful attack methods, it's useless. This thing is invulnerable to water, fire, swords and guns, and its flower bud is immune to all attacks."

This can't go on.

The root system of the Piranha Plant is not long but it is very developed. Unlike other plants that take root on the ground, the better it grows, the more developed and long its root system is.

The most important thing is that after the evolution of the Piranha Plant, it can use its strong roots as legs to move quickly on the ground.

They are surrounded by carnivorous plants outside and can't get out, so what about underground?

"Let's see if there are any tools for digging tunnels. The laboratory may be surrounded on all sides. Can we try to dig a tunnel to get out directly?"

Everyone thought this was simply a fantasy. Digging a tunnel? Not to mention that they couldn't find a hoe or a machine that could do the digging work, they couldn't even find a shovel or a hoe.

But at this moment, Hua Yang remembered the spiritual plant root system that she had been nurturing in the base. The area covered by the root system was changing with each passing day, and the closest location was only a dozen kilometers away from here.

It seems that God will not abandon me!
