Chapter 50 Chapter 50 Can I touch your wound?
"It would be more convenient to plant directly in seawater."
Ye Ning really wanted to try it. When she saw many land beastmen in the sea in Gaojiang District before, she wanted to try it out to see what it felt like.
So far, the blue water has given her a good feeling.
And every time she saw Xilos breathing and speaking freely in the water, she felt it was amazing.
Marine organisms can breathe underwater because they either use gills to exchange gases or have lungs adapted to underwater breathing. If the latter is the case, they need to surface from time to time to breathe.
But she observed it several times and didn't see any organs like gills on Silos. Moreover, he seemed to surface only when she approached.
However, all the water tanks here are interconnected. Ye Ning asked hesitantly, "If I go in, will it pollute the water inside?"
After all, she came in from outside, so there should be a lot of dust on her body. Even if she disinfected it, Ye Ning still subconsciously felt that she would pollute the water inside.
Siros laughed, "Your aura will only make these waters purer."
The plants had grown, and thanks to the filtration system, there were no more pollutants in the water. However, if she could get into the water, she could spread her supernatural power throughout the water, making the plant scent even more intense.
Ye Ning looked at Xiluos and continued to ask, "Do I need to change clothes and wear a marine respirator?"
Silos saw her intention and casually stirred the sea water. With the help of his mental power, the sea water mixed with oxygen and soon covered Ye Ning with a thin layer of water film.
Ye Ning stared at the water film on her body with wide eyes.
Although people in this world have mental powers, this seems to be the first time she has seen someone use their abilities like this, as if using supernatural powers.
But she was very sure that neither Gu Yu nor Hou Lin could do that.
Xilos came closer again, and this time, he stopped in front of Ye Ning, keeping a distance from her.
Siros looked down at her, "Do you need me to hold you?"
Ye Ning discovered that his skin seemed to be even fairer. The original fair skin had a hint of paleness, but it seemed that he had recovered a little and had become more radiant.
The water tank was too high and there was really no way she could climb in by herself.
Ye Ning stretched out her hands to him.
Such a small pure human cub is really cute.
Siros gently raised his hand and carried her into the tank. "If you're scared, tell me."
When he just carried her in, a strand of dark blue hair fell on her face, feeling cool, almost like satin.
There was still a chill on Ye Ning's face. She nodded, and the next second, she was slowly lowered into the water by Xilos.
Ye Ning had originally thought she would feel soaked. However, the film of water still lingered around her, completely isolating the rest of the seawater from her body. So even in the water, she maintained the same refreshing feeling as on land.
Even until her whole body sank into the water, Ye Ning did not feel any fear. Instead, she felt an unprecedented sense of tranquility and coolness.
Maybe it’s because this is not the real seabed and there are no other living creatures.
The sea water gently wrapped around her body, as if she was floating in the air. The light and shadow of the waves scattered on her face, as if her soul was being purified, making her want to close her eyes.
There were green stones everywhere around her, and even if she restrained herself, those plant elements continued to flow into her body.
The differences between land and seawater are indeed significant. The plant elements in seawater will blend into the water and are less likely to disperse. Therefore, after the Green Stone evaporates into the water, it is not actually wasted at all.
But she couldn't just keep absorbing like this, so Ye Ning dissolved her supernatural powers into the sea water and let them disperse.
The greenery centered around her slowly spread out like ripples.
Silos, who had a keen sense of his own sea area, instantly felt the fresh and natural green.
His eyes sparkled slightly, and he gently pushed Ye Ning and straightened her up.
Ye Ning tried to make a sound, "I——"
As soon as she spoke, she found that she could speak normally.
This feeling was indeed very good. She could clearly feel the sea water gently caressing her, but she was not affected by the sea water at all.
The cub's adaptation to the ocean far exceeded his expectations.
Just then, a small piece of chlorella floated in front of Ye Ning, and Ye Ning reached out and poked it.
The chlorella grew several millimeters in an instant.
Ye Ning turned her head and looked at his fishtail, "Can I touch your wound?"
She asked the little mushroom why the plants were ineffective. Logically, the system plants must be able to absorb pollution effectively.
If a little bit of plant matter didn't work, then he should eat more. But even though she had continuously sent so many plants to the ocean, his wounds still hadn't healed, which was truly strange.
Little Mushroom said that he had to touch his wound directly to know the reason.
Xilos was really surprised when Ye Ning suddenly made this request.
His fishtail has become much more comfortable in the past few days and no longer causes unbearable pain all the time.
But above, there were still only white bones, no flesh or shiny scales, and it looked extremely terrifying.
He was worried that the fish tail would scare her, so he kept it in a blind spot where she couldn't see it. Unexpectedly, she now wanted to see it on her own initiative.
Seeing that he seemed hesitant, Ye Ning explained, "The plants I planted all worked very well, but you're the only one who hasn't recovered even after using a lot of them. So I wanted to take a look at your wound and see if I could find anything different."
Ye Ning's tone and expression were very serious. Xilos did not hesitate any longer. He swayed his body slightly and showed his fish tail.
The scales on the upper part of the fish's tail shimmered in the water, but the lower part gradually became mottled, until the end, where even the flesh was gone.
Xilos was observing Ye Ning's expression all the time and tensed his body unconsciously.
Such a fishtail was really ugly, and even he himself didn't want to look at it for a second. She was still so young and a pure human, so she should have never seen those horrible and terrifying wounds.
But Ye Ning just looked at his wound carefully, then gently reached out and touched it.
Almost instantly, Little Mushroom came to the conclusion.
[Ningning, I know why! ]
【This is not the original pollutant at all! 】
*
Xisha District Military Underground Prison.
This is the latest prison built under the joint guidance of the Federation and Gaojiang District.
The entire prison is meticulously crafted from the highest density special metal, and its surface is covered with a micro-nano self-repairing coating. At the same time, the prison is filled with various systems and defensive robots that can monitor danger in real time.
After passing dozens of verification checkpoints, Heyang took the elevator to the bottom floor of the prison.
As soon as the elevator door opened, the sharp and piercing high-frequency buzzing sound immediately reached Heyang's ears.
The ground seemed to be shaking slightly, and the eardrums felt as if they were severely cut by a sharp blade.
She hadn't slept the previous night, and her eyes were bloodshot. When she was mentally exhausted, hearing such a harsh and sharp voice made her heart beat faster.
Tsuruo immediately put on noise-canceling earmuffs that could protect against such mental attacks before walking in.
A pollutant was imprisoned in a huge cage, with only its muscle-woven tentacles waving wildly in the air. The tentacles were covered with densely packed eyes with red backgrounds and black pupils. Each eye flashed with a strange red light, expanding and contracting continuously with the waving of the tentacles.
But if you look up, you will find that its main part is completely different from before.
Above the tentacles was no longer the huge head with serrated mouthparts that they were familiar with, but an extremely strange lizard body.
The deformed lizard is huge, nearly ten meters long. Its head and body still retain the shape of a lizard, but its tentacles seem to have become its limbs, with knotted muscles. Every flap of the tentacles shows an amazing sense of power, while giving it unprecedented flexibility.
This pollutant was secretly delivered by the federal government yesterday.
At this moment, professors and researchers sent by Xisha District, Gaojiang District and the Federation have all gathered here.
Hou Sen was also there, having previously feigned illness. Now that the Gaojiang District planting complex had been fully operational, and the Xisha District research institute was complete, he had recently been directly exposed to the public. But no one cared anymore.
Everyone was busy. When Professor Xisha District saw He Yang coming, he immediately went over and reported the current situation to her in a low voice.
After listening to his report, He Yang couldn't help but rub his brows. "So the current situation is that although he looks like a pollutant and has extremely high pollution levels, he has barely retained a trace of his original orc consciousness?"
The professor nodded. "This is truly incredible. He didn't become food for the pollutants, nor did he turn into a mindless beast. Instead, he merged with the pollutants."
Hou Sen: "It's like two plants, A and B, that could never reproduce because they were naturally isolated and could never merge into a single species. But now, they have merged."
It's so weird, but just looking at the appearance, it can be said that the integration is seamless.
The Federation professor came over and added, "He was originally an S-class orc with outstanding strength within the Federation. The pollutant that merged with him was the lowest level, D-class. Before he became like this, he seemed to have drunk a lot of purification potions from the Gaojiang District. Perhaps that's why he wasn't completely consumed by the pollutant."
Hou Sen glanced at the federal professor. "It wasn't on the battlefield. An S-rank orc suddenly merged with low-level pollutants. Didn't your investigation yield any useful clues?"
Professor Liandong shook his head. "We've shared all the information and clues with you without reservation. We don't know if it was an accident or some other reason. Otherwise, there would be no need to send people all the way to the Xisha Islands."
Since the Xisha District has been equipped with various equipment and new effective toxins have been discovered, the Xisha District has been at the forefront of the federal government in dealing with pollutants.
In addition, Gaojiang District is also conducting plant research here, and the overall level of Xisha District has increased rapidly, so this time, the Federation directly sent someone to deliver it here.
However, the people in the Xisha District were silently complaining in their hearts. They mainly wanted to throw these monsters into the Xisha District.
Professor Federal continued, "Of course, our research has found that the tentacles that merged with him are indeed somewhat different..."

【This is not the original pollutant! 】
Ye Ning was stunned. "It's not the original pollutant. What does that mean?"
The little mushroom's matchstick hand scratched its head. "When we landed, the pollutants absorbed by the mall seeds were not like this."
[Although the elements are the same, that one is purely natural, and this one is not.]
Ye Ning's heart skipped a beat.
"Are you saying that the reason his wounds haven't healed isn't because our plants aren't effective, but because the cause of his wounds is some other pollutant?"
The little mushroom nodded, [That's right.]
“Is this kind of pollutant a lot?”
[It must be not many, otherwise we wouldn’t have met for the first time.]
Ye Ning directly covered his wound with a layer of supernatural power, "I think my supernatural power can also purify those pollutants."
Little Mushroom nodded. "Have you noticed that your abilities have actually changed a lot, becoming more compatible with this world?"
At the beginning, Ye Ning's ability could only relieve a little pain and could not produce much of a purifying effect.
But by now, the purification effect has become obvious.
Ye Ning nodded, "Probably because I've been using my supernatural powers to plant and purify."
She hadn't used her powers in combat for a long time. Although she would occasionally extend her vines to familiarize herself with them, she wasn't needed to fight outside and slay zombies, so her combat abilities had weakened. However, her purification abilities were improving rapidly.
[Look, look, your ability can purify this kind of pollution. This level of pollution is no match for you.]
Ye Ning used her special ability again.
Siros felt himself once again enveloped by a powerful yet gentle force, filled with vitality and greenery. An extremely refreshing aura emanated from his body from the inside out.
It seemed to nourish every corner of his body, making his body become extremely light, as if he was completely renewed!
She couldn't completely purify him so quickly, so Ye Ning stopped after a few minutes.
Before Siros could speak, Ye Ning asked again, "Did you bring any professors or researchers with you?"
Siros nodded.
This was an agreement between him and the Xisha District. Only he and Yaerlin would see Ye Ning in the Empire. So no one else showed up here.
He originally thought that Xisha District and Gaojiang District were worrying too much, but after seeing Ye Ning's abilities, he clearly realized that their concerns were very reasonable.
The rebels had infiltrated the ocean over a decade ago, and in the past two years, their power had grown rapidly due to factors such as the rapid scarcity of resources and the increase in pollutants.
The initial rebels were made up of the poor, who had been living at the bottom of society due to a lack of resources. But over the years, more and more people with status and position began to join the ranks of the rebels, so they gradually gained more abundant resources and wider influence.
Today, it has become increasingly difficult for the federal government to contain and suppress the rebels.
"Your Majesty Xilos, your wound is indeed different from others." Ye Ning looked at him and said seriously.
Ye Ning explained Xiao Mushroom's words to him again.
"The instruments can't detect it, probably because the elements look very similar. I can't explain the specific difference, but I feel like it's different from the pollution that plants can quickly purify."
In fact, if he continues to use the plants given by the system on a large scale, he should be able to recover, but he doesn't know how long it will take.
Sometimes when people do something and don’t see any results, they will become doubtful and anxious, and finally give up.
Xilos confirmed Ye Ning's statement almost instantly.
After he was injured, he was indeed in a coma for a long time and never recovered. Someone was always ready to take action.
Xiluo Si's eyes dimmed slightly, "I will investigate this matter again."
He looked at Ye Ning again, and this time, in addition to the natural closeness in his eyes, there was also a bit of joy and respect.
"You really don't look like... such a small cub." Silos said directly.
He certainly hadn't come into contact with many cubs, but in his impression, children of this age didn't seem to be so smart and sharp.
Ye Ning looked at him and smiled, "Maybe it's because I'm a plant therapist with top-level talent."
She would have to discuss this matter with Hou Sen when she got out. If it was truly man-made, it would be hard to guarantee they wouldn't use it on other orcs.
The world already had enough pollutants, and they were being artificially exacerbated. Everyone was clearly trying so hard to survive, so no matter what the reason, Ye Ning found it unacceptable.
She looked around.
She was still in the water, and the water was flowing naturally. It seemed that because she had been emitting supernatural powers, the supernatural powers had drifted far away with the water.
She gained another level yesterday thanks to this huge ocean cultivation room, so now she is at level 31.
Ye Ning tried to move her hands and feet, "I should go grow some plants."
But it was her first time in the water and she didn't know how to control her body.
Ye Ning looked at Xiluosi and asked, "Can you take me for a swim in here?"
"certainly."
Silos waved his fingertips casually, and soon a stream of water was condensed again.
Ye Ning didn't have to move a muscle as she was slowly pushed up by the invisible water flow.
Silos had been circling around her, seemingly observing her, his eyes fixed on her.
Using supernatural powers to plant in water is really fast.
It used to take several hours to walk through the planting room, but now it only takes twenty minutes to complete it.
And this is under the premise that she controls her speed.
After Silos leaves, this ocean cultivation room should be preserved, and then she will be able to grow more plants in it.
Ye Ning finished everything and prepared to leave.
The moment she left the water, the reluctance and sense of loss in Silos' heart emerged again.
But he still maintained the expression on his face, just asked Ye Ning to wait for a moment, turned around and swam back.
After a few seconds, he took out a huge...pink pearl?
He was tall, and the huge pearl didn't seem big in his hand. But when he handed it to Ye Ning, Ye Ning even needed two hands to fully hold the pearl.
There are actually such large pink pearls in the world! They are really super big!
She had always acted calm and intelligent, but suddenly she showed such an expression of obvious surprise, which made Silos very happy.
He said apologetically, "This is my gift to express my apology to you."
He didn't say it explicitly, but Ye Ning understood what he was talking about after a little thought.
Ye Ning: "I have received gifts before."
I also received a lot of federal coins.
She had already spent a lot, but she still had nearly 10 million federal coins in her account. It was pointless to keep the money in her account, so she had to find a way to spend it.
After all, money is only valuable when it circulates in the market.
Xilos smiled again: "This is a gift from me as Xilos to you."
Ye Ning looked so adorable holding the pearl that he wanted to reach out and touch her again, but this time, he managed to hold back.
When he smiled, he was extremely gorgeous.
Ye Ning admired and marveled at it for a moment, said goodbye to him, and went out with the big pearl in her arms.
"Lord Ye Ning." When Yaerlin saw Ye Ning coming out, he went to greet him.
Suddenly he saw the pearls in her hand and froze in his tracks.
Ye Ning looked at him, then looked at the large pearl in her hand, "It's a gift from His Majesty Xilos."
Yaerlin nodded quickly, and looked at Ye Ning with more pious eyes than when he came.
Ye Ning asked him, "Is there anything special about this pearl?"
Yarlin thought for a moment, not knowing what to say. Finally, he said, "It's the pink pearl that Your Majesty likes very, very much."
He placed emphasis on the word "very" and even repeated it twice.
Although such a large pink pearl is rare and precious, it is naturally nothing compared to the entire ocean. However, that pearl was given to His Majesty Silos by his mother, and he has been playing with it since he was a child.
So even though he came to the land specially this time, he brought the pink pearl with him, but now, he actually gave it directly to Lord Ye Ning.
Some gifts can be measured by their value, while some gifts have meanings that are more valuable than their own value.
Ye Ning nodded, subconsciously thinking that she might as well return it to him.
But since the gift had been given, he probably hoped she would accept it. So Ye Ning just hugged the pearl and said with a smile, "I will keep it well."
Hou Lin was squatting at the door, swiping his wristband and arguing with someone online when he saw Ye Ning coming out.
"So soon today?"
Ye Ning nodded, "Let's go."
Hou Lin looked at the bracelet again, turned it off and prepared to go out with Ye Ning.
Just as he was about to leave, he saw the huge pearl in her hand.
Good man, his eyes were wide open. "What is this?"
"It's a pearl." Ye Ning didn't know how to explain to him that it was a gift from Xilos, so she walked out holding the pearl.
"Oh my god, such a big pearl, how much does it cost? And it's pink!"
Hou Lin couldn't help but be curious about what was in the house. Such a big pearl could probably only be seen at an auction.
"It should be quite expensive." She placed the pearl in front of Hou Lin. "Would you like to take a closer look?"
Hou Lin was about to reach out his hand, but suddenly realized the value of the pearl and retracted it. "No, no, it's such a precious thing. If I accidentally bump it, I will lose all my salary in this life."
Ye Ning thought about it and nodded, but she still said, "Don't worry, I won't let you pay for it."
Hou Lin shook his head frantically, "That won't work either. I'm not worthy."
"I'm telling you, I just saw it on the Internet—"
The next second, Hou Lin shut his mouth.
Long Qi, dressed in black, appeared in front of them.
