Chapter 388 Coveted
Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin did not bring anyone else with them when they went into the mountains. After all, the situation in the mountains was unclear and it was too dangerous. With the strength of the two of them, they were confident that they could go in, but if they brought others with them, they might become a burden to them.
The forest is quite dense. Perhaps because the wild plants have stronger vitality, only a small number of plants died from the invasion of the zombie virus. Many plants survived tenaciously, and many of them successfully mutated and grew abnormally tall.
Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye went into the mountain mainly to find and collect various mutant plants. When they reached the bottom of the mountain, Fang Yuxin asked Angela to change back to its original form, and then rode on it, and was carried by Angela into the dense and mysterious forest like a primeval forest.
Bai Ye rode on Bai Er and followed Fang Yuxin closely. After entering the forest, he held the Dragon Scale Sword in his hand and carefully watched the surroundings, fearing that there would be any sudden danger.
The two of them quickly shuttled through the forest, and Fang Yuxin indeed discovered many mutant plants. These mutant plants grew quite vigorously, and were obviously different from other plants around them. Moreover, many mutant plants did not have offensive power.
Fang Yuxin didn't know what aspects of these mutated plants were mutated in, so he marked out an area in the Qingmu Lingfu and transplanted some mutated plants into an appropriate place to facilitate future observation.
Whenever she collected plants, Bai Ye would stand guard beside her. Suddenly, Fang Yuxin discovered a huge mutant plant. The plant had huge leaves, a single stem, and umbrella-shaped red fruits on the top. The fruits were bright red and as big as longans, and they were densely packed together to form a "big umbrella".
Fang Yuxin narrowed his eyes - this thing looks so familiar!
Then she turned her head to look at Bai Ye, and exchanged glances with him. Bai Ye nodded and said, "It should be a mutant wild ginseng. Looking at the leaves, it must be quite large!"
Fang Yuxin also felt that this must be the case. She stared at the mutant wild ginseng for a while and was about to go forward. Bai Ye quickly pulled her back, frowned and said disapprovingly: "Be careful! How can you be so reckless! Be careful, there is danger nearby!"
Fang Yuxin thought about it and it made sense. This mutant wild ginseng was so huge that there might be something waiting nearby. She had to be careful! Otherwise, if she wasn't careful, she might capsize in the gutter!
So, she released her spiritual consciousness to explore the surroundings, and at the same time, she also checked how big the mutant wild ginseng was. After checking, she couldn't help but take a breath - it was really too big!
Normal wild ginseng is very small, perhaps not even as thick as a finger, but this mutant wild ginseng has grown to be very large, almost as big as a human. At the same time, it has grown into a relatively complete human form.
Fang Yuxin was a little surprised. Could it be that this mutated wild ginseng had already awakened its spiritual intelligence?
She was surprised at first, and then delighted. Qian Sen had mentioned to her before that he wanted to study those mutated medicinal plants to see if they were more effective. Unfortunately, he was just an ordinary person. Not to mention that he couldn't come into contact with mutated medicinal plants, even if he did, he might not be able to pick them alive.
Fang Yuxin had been thinking about this ever since she heard it, so before entering the mountains this time, she did some homework and found a book that introduced various herbs. The book had color pages and each herb had clear photos. Fang Yuxin memorized all of this in her mind and paid special attention to it after entering the mountains.
After the apocalypse, although most humans were not able to awaken into superpowers, their bodies were still affected by the zombie virus, so that many of the drugs used in the past have lost their effectiveness. Those drugs are completely ineffective for superpowers, and although they are still somewhat effective for ordinary people, they are not strong, and the effect can only be seen if a large dose of the drug is taken.
After Qian Sen discovered this, he had always wanted to study mutant plants and work with medical experts to develop new drugs, but unfortunately he never had the chance. At first, he stayed in a small base, but unfortunately the leader of this small base had a narrow vision and could not think of many things, and there was no research institute in the base.
Later, he finally arrived at the Bei City Base. He originally wanted to show his strengths, but he found that the Bei City Base was controlled by six major forces. The competition among these forces was quite fierce. At the same time, whether it was the Bai family, the Qu family or Zhao Qiankun, they all had ill intentions towards them and even designed to kill them!
With no other options, Qian Sen had to continue traveling with Fang Yuxin, and only recently he finally settled down in the Hope Base and started working at the base's research institute. Unfortunately, the research institute was not in good condition, and it was basically a decoration. There were no research materials or even many experimental instruments, and he could only worry!
Before Fang Yuxin came, she specifically asked Qian Sen, so when she was looking for it this time, she did not pay attention to those ordinary medicinal plants, but focused all her energy on various mutated plants, especially the mutated medicinal plants.
So, when she accidentally discovered this giant mutant wild ginseng, she couldn't help but be surprised.
Bai Ye didn't think as much as she did. He was more concerned about whether there was any danger around. If there was no danger, he would let Fang Yuxin put away the mutant wild ginseng. He could see that Fang Yuxin wanted to transplant it into the space.
His idea was right. Fang Yuxin had just checked and found no danger nearby, so he was about to approach the mutant wild ginseng. However, the mutant wild ginseng, which had been quiet and motionless, suddenly closed its leaves. Fang Yuxin saw that it was not good and was worried that it would escape, so he immediately set up a barrier to trap it in place.
This mutated wild ginseng is indeed a mutant variety. Once it found itself trapped, its leaves opened again. At the same time, the leaves gradually changed, becoming extremely sharp and tough, and then they frantically hit the barrier in an attempt to escape.
Fang Yuxin watched it frantically whipping the surrounding barrier with its leaves, and could faintly sense a little anger mixed with panic. She was stunned for a moment, and then after a little hesitation, she shot a drop of true energy at the mutant wild ginseng.
As soon as this drop of true energy hit it, the mutant wild ginseng that was flapping its leaves suddenly stopped. Then, as if it had discovered the benefits of this drop of true energy, it stretched out its leaves again and kept moving towards Fang Yuxin. Unfortunately, the barrier set by Fang Yuxin was still there, and it couldn't break through it at all, and couldn't get close to Fang Yuxin.
After realizing this, it became anxious again, and looked like a child who couldn't get the candy.
Fang Yuxin tried to communicate with it, but unfortunately this mutant wild ginseng had only a weak intelligence and was still in a state of confusion. No matter how she communicated with it, it could not respond with a clear and distinct meaning, only a desire for Fang Yuxin's true essence.
Fang Yuxin was helpless, and after thinking about it, she let Abao out. Abao had long been accustomed to the comfortable environment of the Qingmu Spiritual Palace with abundant spiritual energy, and was a little unhappy when he came out: "Why are you looking for me? Don't you know I'm busy?" As soon as he said this, he was stunned, staring at the mutant wild ginseng not far away with his eyes wide open.
Fang Yuxin took a look at Abao and saw that it was still the same size as before, without any change. He couldn't help but stretched out his finger to poke it and said to it: "See? It's one of your kind. Help me deal with it."
As a result, when she said this, A Bao immediately turned his head and looked at Fang Yuxin warily: "What do you want to do? You don't want to eat it? I tell you, don't even think about it! It has already developed intelligence, I want to take it back and raise it!"
Seeing its self-righteous look, Fang Yuxin couldn't help but remind it: "That's my territory! But if you have the ability, you can raise it there, I won't stop you."
When Abao heard this, he was immediately happy. Then he came to the mutant wild ginseng, stroked his chin and looked at it, muttering: "Why has it grown so big? Did it take hormones?"
Fang Yuxin looked at it speechlessly, wondering what hormones wild ginseng can take. But before she could say anything, she saw Abao suddenly disappear. She panicked subconsciously, thinking that Abao had run away by himself. But after a closer look, she found that Abao had actually run underground, and at this time, its small body was hugging the huge and developed root system of the mutant wild ginseng, and it seemed to be communicating with the mutant wild ginseng.
The mutated wild ginseng was suddenly trapped by Fang Yuxin's barrier, and the confused spirit was quite panicked. However, probably feeling the breath of its own kind and predecessor from A Bao, it gradually calmed down and even let A Bao hold its roots without resisting.
The two ginsengs began to communicate——
Po: What's your name?
The mutant wild ginseng said shyly: "No... I don't know..."
A Bao reached out and patted the root of the mutant wild ginseng like a senior, and then continued: "My name is A Bao, so from now on you can be called A Bei, okay? You will follow me in the future, and I will protect you! How about letting you follow me to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks?"
Mutated wild ginseng: "Good." What does it mean to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks?
A Bao started to persuade him again: "Then why don't you come with me to my house? My house is great, the spiritual energy there is especially rich, and you don't have to worry about being eaten by others! You can do whatever you want!"
Mutated wild ginseng: "Really? Is it better than here?" It has been here for a long time since it was born, and it is reluctant to leave suddenly.
Po was quite proud: "Of course, hurry up...ahhhh!" He had wanted to show off to his descendants how well he lived, but he didn't expect that a huge monster suddenly appeared in front of him, looking at him with a pair of greedy and vicious eyes!
Po was sure that he saw greed in the other's eyes, so he screamed in fear.
When I was writing last night, my period was not good, and I couldn't hold on until the third chapter, so I only made up for yesterday's third chapter today. Sorry. There are still three more chapters to come, I will do my best.
