The people in the formation were eagerly asking the unfortunate newcomer about the situation outside. When they heard that there were mutated plants and animals outside, and that there was no food to be found anywhere, and that people were often fighting and quarreling with each other, Grandpa Uncle felt a sense of emotion.
"It seems like being trapped here is pretty good. At least for now, it seems not only safe, but also has food and drink."
As soon as these words came out, they were immediately refuted by others:
"When you say having food and drink, do you mean eating instant noodles and drinking cold mineral water every meal?" This was the little fat guy whose face was almost green from eating instant noodles.
"Do you mean there's no bathroom, no toilet, and no change of clothes?" This is Master Li, who has a slight obsession with mysophobia.
"What you mean is that I have to use the sky as my blanket and the ground as my mat, and then have to smell your dirty clothes and stinky socks that you never wash?" This was the complaining Huangmao. At night, he happened to be lying on the other side of his uncle and was attacked by poisonous gas.
My uncle put his hand to his mouth and made a zippering gesture, then shut up.
The remaining people sighed in unison. "Alas, there are three more people eating instant noodles. Although they despise instant noodles, it is their staple food now, and there are not many left!" Don't ask if you can not give food to the new family of three. The soft-hearted little fat man, seeing that the other party was staring at his instant noodles, had already moved faster than his brain to offer them. What else can he do? He can't just let them faint from hunger in front of him!
The worried people had no idea that Xiao Bai, a few meters away, was trying hard to find a way to rescue them.
"This should be an illusion created by mutant plants." Shu Ling supported his chin and looked thoughtful.
After studying it for a long time without any clue, Xiao Bai had no choice but to pull out the book spirit that was sleeping under the quilt to see if the knowledgeable one had any ideas.
"Are my uncle and the others in there? How can we resolve this illusion? Should we find the mutated plant and kill it?" Xiao Bai asked hurriedly.
The Book Spirit flew around that spot a few times, exclaiming in amazement, "Amazing! It looks like this is a special mutant plant with spatial capabilities!"
Shu Ling became interested. Generally, plant mutations usually strengthen their own abilities. For example, vine plants will stretch and lengthen after mutation, and their vitality will be stronger. Fruit plants usually increase fruit production and shorten fruiting time. The special ones are that the fruits they produce have some special functions. Some plants will produce special "domains". Illusions are a type of domain. Some domains are built on the original land, that is, the size of the domain is determined by the size of the land occupied. Some domains have spatial attributes. They can expand several times, dozens of times, or even hundreds of times by occupying only a very small amount of land. This kind of plant is the rarest.
The Dongcheng Research Institute has been dedicated to studying the various abilities and uses of mutant animals and plants. If Dr. Su knew that it took him a long time to figure out the mutation direction and function of one or two mutant plants, while Shu Ling knew it with just a few glances, he would definitely faint from tears!
After listening to Shu Ling's explanation, Xiao Bai understood one thing: "So, this mutant plant is very precious and can establish a domain that expands space, or a fantasy domain?"
"Yes, and the domain of this plant is also confusing and protective, which can be said to be very rare! Let's find it quickly and then contract it!" When this was mentioned, the book spirit became particularly excited and became more active and motivated!
"But didn't you say you only have one contract position now, and that's the one for the banyan tree?"
The Book Spirit rolled its eyes. "I originally thought so, but through my undercover work in the banyan tree these past few days, I've discovered that your current abilities are too weak! Furthermore, the banyan tree is awake so rarely, making it difficult to gain favor with it. I'm afraid you won't be able to do that! So, let's first find a contract with this mutant plant! Then, you must return the spiritual cores you owe me as soon as possible. Five, not one less. That way, I can level up quickly and get an extra contract slot!"
"So, where is the mutant plant?" Xiao Bai ignored Shu Ling's words. It was a good thing to wishful thinking, but he still had to find the mutant plant first. Finding someone was important, and as for the rest, he would act according to circumstances and go with the flow.
She searched carefully back and forth several times along the direction of the illusion. This illusion was really strange. People who entered it could not come out, and people outside would not find anything unusual. Moreover, the space inside could be expanded. She just didn't know how big that space was and what it was like. To be honest, she was moved by what Shu Ling said just now, but ideals are full and reality is skinny. In such a skinny situation, it is better to pursue the basic goal of filling her stomach first. Therefore, it is important to find someone, no, to find that mutant plant!
The man and the book spirit searched all the nearby places with plants, whether they were big trees, flowers in the flower beds, or even the weeds on the roadside, but they found nothing unusual.
"Isn't this mutant plant hidden too well? Could it be that the plant is not hidden here?" Xiao Bai asked.
"Impossible. Normally, mutant plants don't stray far from their own domain. They're always inside or near it because they need it to protect themselves. They must have deliberately disguised themselves and hidden themselves. These mutant plants are usually very smart and will deliberately make themselves inconspicuous and blend in with the environment. Let's look for them again."
"What if this mutant plant is unusual? No, this plant is unusual to begin with!"
"Are you a nitpicker? You have to argue about everything! Can't you just look for it normally and then find out if you can't find it?"
Xiao Bai:·······
Okay, let’s look for it first.
So the man, the book spirit and the dog searched the area again, and this time they didn't miss even the newly sprouted seedlings and checked them all.
Xiao Bai and others' inspection was to rub. Generally, mutant plants have a strong sense of territory and especially hate being touched.
After searching furiously, Xiao Bai still couldn't find it. He didn't give up. "How about we pull out all the weeds? This is already a flower bed anyway, so pulling out the weeds would be a good deed, and it would also narrow down our search area."
The Shuling clapped his hands and agreed to the proposal, so the man, the Shuling and the dog began to work frantically pulling out weeds in the area.
A grass not far away huddled in its tiny body, trying to control its trembling. It watched the three weeds frantically plucking at it, and cried inwardly, "This is too scary! I'm going to be scared to death! What should I do?"
