Chapter 127 Mutated Crystal Orchid! (Second update)
After returning to the ruins, Fang Yuxin introduced Shang Jinxiu: "This is my brother, and he is also the captain of Yongsheng. You can call him Captain Fang from now on. You can slowly get to know the others. Since you have joined Yongsheng, we will all be a family from now on. You don't have to feel constrained, just adapt slowly."
Shang Jinxiu nodded hurriedly, then looked at Fang Yuyang and said respectfully, "Hello, Captain Fang."
Her attitude was too respectful, more like a student greeting a teacher. Fang Yuyang probably saw her sincerity, the coldness on his face subsided, and his attitude became much gentler. He said, "You heard what Xinxin said just now. I won't say anything else. I just hope you remember one thing. Since you are Yongsheng's man, you can never betray Yongsheng or your teammates. Do you understand?"
At the end, there was a hint of severity in his voice.
Shang Jinxiu nodded hurriedly, then met Fang Yuyang's gaze without dodging, and said sincerely and firmly: "Captain Fang, don't worry, since I have sworn a blood oath, I will never betray Yongsheng. Sister Xin is my lifesaver, and I will never forget this even until I die!"
Fang Yuyang stared at her for a while, and seeing that she did not dodge and her eyes were sincere, he finally nodded in appreciation. He felt that this person was different from Lin Feiyin, so he would definitely give her a chance.
Fang Yuxin whispered to Fang Yuyang, "Brother, Jinxiu is a space user. She has a space of 100 square meters. Now she is using part of it, but there is still a lot of free space. Now that we have her, we can save a lot of trouble in the future."
Fang Yuyang understood immediately. Ever since he knew about the existence of Qingmu Lingfu, he has been worried that this matter would get out, and Fang Yuxin would be in danger. Now that they have Shang Jinxiu, a space ability user, they can just cover up the existence of Qingmu Lingfu, and they can act with more confidence in the future.
Because of this reason, he felt more favorable towards Shang Jinxiu, and the way he looked at her became a little gentler.
Then he did not delay and began to look for the Yuanshi under Fang Yuxin's command. Shang Jinxiu was surprised and thought they were looking for supplies below. But she soon found out that she was wrong. Fang Yuyang dug out a dusty stone from the ruins. He wiped the stone, then put it directly into his backpack and continued to search.
Shang Jinxiu instantly realized that the stone must be extraordinary. Otherwise, Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang would not have wasted their time looking for such a stone and ignored the supplies below.
She hesitated, not knowing whether to ask, and heard Fang Yuxin whispered: "That is a Yuan Stone, there may be a Yuan Crystal hidden inside. Since you have joined us, let's look for it together."
Shang Jinxiu nodded. Although she was very curious about what Yuan Jing was and what it was used for, she was not stupid and knew what to ask and what not to ask. The other survivors did not know about Yuan Shi and Yuan Jing, so it was obvious that they were not ordinary things. This was a big secret, and she felt that she should not ask.
If Fang Yuxin was willing to tell her, she would definitely not hide it.
Although the brother and sister were digging for Yuanshi, they also paid some attention to observing Shang Jinxiu. Seeing that her eyes were still clear after hearing about Yuanjing, and she did not have any treacherous thoughts, the two of them looked up to her.
Then, Fang Yuxin whispered to her about the effect of Yuan Jing. Although Shang Jinxiu was prepared and guessed that the effect of Yuan Jing must be extraordinary, she couldn't help but exclaimed a little after hearing what Fang Yuxin said. She didn't expect that the effect of Yuan Jing was even more powerful than she imagined!
It can actually give ordinary people the opportunity to awaken their superpowers and also improve the superpower qualifications of those with superpowers. This is too incredible!
Shang Jinxiu was shocked. After she was shocked, she couldn't help but look at Fang Yuxin and said, "Sister Xin, you...how did you tell me such important news?"
Fang Yuxin smiled and said as a matter of course: "As the old saying goes, 'If you give me a peach, I will repay you with a jade. It's not a reward, but a token of our everlasting friendship.' Since you told me your identity as a space ability user and now you are Yongsheng's man, it is only natural for me to tell you about Yuan Jing. There is nothing wrong with that."
Shang Jinxiu's heart was warmed. Since the end of the world, she had seen the ups and downs of life, hiding and living in hiding. Fang Yuxin was the first person who treated her so well, which touched her deeply. She was in a weak position from the beginning, so when she told Fang Yuxin about her identity as a space ability user, she did not expect anything in return. As long as Fang Yuxin let her follow her and her safety could be guaranteed, she was grateful.
But Fang Yuxin did not act bossy towards her just because she was in a weak position, nor did he regard himself as her savior just because he saved her. Instead, he really treated her as his own and even told her such important news about Yuan Jing. How could she not be moved?
She felt her eyes were sore and quickly blinked to prevent herself from crying. Then she looked at Fang Yuxin and said solemnly as if swearing an oath: "Sister Xin, don't worry, I will never let you down!"
Fang Yuxin didn't expect Shang Jinxiu to be so excited. In her opinion, Shang Jinxiu had already sworn a blood oath and became her own person, so it was only right for her to tell her about Yuan Jing. She really didn't need to be so excited.
She reached out and patted Shang Jinxiu on the shoulder, saying, "Since you said so, I hope you can remember what you said. Well, don't waste time. I'll tell you the location and you can dig it."
Things went smoothly afterwards. Shang Jinxiu didn't have much strength, but once Fang Yuxin pointed out a location, she would hold the dagger and dig down without hesitation. Because she worked too hard, blisters appeared on her palms. Fang Yuxin had the ability to heal, so she only needed to tell Fang Yuxin, but she didn't say a word and continued to dig down.
Although zombies were attracted from time to time, they did not cause them too much trouble. Every time a zombie appeared, they were easily dealt with.
Shang Jinxiu knew that she was not strong enough, so she took the initiative to take the job of digging out the crystal core. The crystal core is in the zombie's brain. If you want to dig it out, you have to cut open the zombie's brain first. This kind of work is not tiring, but it is more disgusting than killing zombies. And if you want to dig out the crystal core, you have to get close to the zombie. When you cut open the brain, the strong stench is overwhelming, which is really torture.
Shang Jinxiu didn't despise it, she remembered Fang Yuxin said that the team would not keep useless people, so she had to prove that she was useful! With her current strength, it was not her turn to kill zombies, so the only thing she could do was to dig crystal cores.
Everything was fine, but unexpected events always happened in an instant.
Some zombies were killed by the wind blades released by Fang Yuxin before they even got close, so they were separated from the Fang brothers and sisters. When Shang Jinxiu was trying to dig the crystal core, she suddenly felt an alarm in her heart! She subconsciously tightened the dagger in her hand and looked at the zombies vigilantly.
The zombies on the ground looked normal and were dead as hell.
Shang Jinxiu was in doubt, and at this moment, a gust of wind blew towards her, carrying with it a unique fragrance of plants. Shang Jinxiu's heartbeat almost stopped, and she dodged backwards suddenly, but her heel accidentally hit a protruding stone, and she fell on her back in a mess.
The moment she fell, she saw a white thing wrapped around the zombie's head. Then, with a "click" sound, the zombie's head shattered. The white thing rolled up the brain and the crystal core inside, and quickly shrank back, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Shang Jinxiu stared at the direction where it disappeared and quickly got up from the ground.
At this time, Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang, who had discovered something was wrong, also ran over. Fang Yuyang asked, "What's going on?"
Shang Jinxiu immediately pointed at a small hole and described what she had just seen: "I was just about to dig out the crystal core, but that thing suddenly appeared. When I stepped back, I fell to the ground. I could only see it wrapped around the zombie's head like a snake. The head quickly broke under its wrapping, and then it swept away the crystal core. The thing was so fast that I couldn't see clearly what it was. It looked like a snake, but it also had the fragrance of a plant, and finally it shrank back into the hole."
After listening to her story, Fang Yuyang looked at Fang Yuxin and said uncertainly: "Xinxin, could it be a mutant plant?"
Fang Yuxin nodded. She had actually guessed it a long time ago. And after listening to Shang Jinxiu's description, she felt that the thing she took was most likely the mutant crystal orchid that appeared in her dream.
The normal crystal orchid is a saprophytic plant. Its whole body is pure white and crystal clear, without any green leaves. In dark places, it can emit an attractive white light, with a dreamy color, which is very beautiful.
Because it is a saprophyte, it is also called the flower of death. In her dream, there once appeared a mutant crystal orchid, which was the real flower of death.
She had never seen it with her own eyes, but she had heard many terrifying legends about it. At that time, the mutant crystal orchid was already very powerful. No matter if it was a zombie, a human, or a mutant creature, as long as its strength was lower than that of a creature, it would become its food.
What's even more terrifying is that this mutant crystal orchid will not stay in one place, it can even migrate to other places. No one knows how it does it, but it has appeared in many places, leaving behind terrible death legends.
Fang Yuxin didn’t know whether the plant Shang Jinxiu encountered was the mutated crystal orchid, but judging from Shang Jinxiu’s description, it was very likely it!
Her heart started beating suddenly, and the intense fear in the dream enveloped her, making it impossible for her to think further. She almost subconsciously said, "Let's leave this place first!"
Speaking of which, this thing is really beautiful. You can search on Baidu to see the pictures.
