Chapter 173 Once transplanted into the green space, it behaved itself.
Just as she was thinking this, the mutated plum tree suddenly veered to the side, deliberately avoiding Lin Muyan, perhaps out of fear of the ice wolf she was riding.
A large group of reckless special forces soldiers rushed past Lin Muyan, paying no attention to her; their eyes were only on the mutated tree.
This is very unusual.
Lin Muyan quickly noticed that when the mutated tree passed in front of her, she could clearly see some things that looked like flower buds on its branches. As they opened and closed, spores were shaken out and carried around by the branches.
A strange fragrance wafted into her nostrils. By the time Lin Muyan realized something was wrong, it was too late; the spore powder had already entered her body through respiration.
Fortunately, nothing serious happened. Lin Muyan only felt a moment of confusion and her mind went blank for a moment, as if she was being controlled. But it was only for a moment before the two forces within her body dispersed the confusion and restored her clarity.
Lin Muyan, regaining her senses, was startled and understood why these special forces soldiers were so crazy.
It was the spores released by the mutated tree that disturbed their senses.
However, she possessed dual water and fire elemental mutations, making it difficult for the spore powder to affect her mind. It was quickly eliminated by the two supernatural abilities within her body.
But special forces soldiers are just ordinary people, and the effects of spore powder on them are simply outstanding.
This kind of spore powder that can disrupt a person's mind and toy with them like monkeys is really scary, but it should also be easy to defend against; a gas mask should be able to protect against it.
Everyone was only thinking about guarding against mutated beasts, and no one considered the existence of mutated plants, let alone the possibility of predicting the spread of toxins in advance.
Lin Muyan only just learned that the mutated plants also have psychotoxin-like attack methods, and their spores, which have an excellent diffusion effect, are impossible to defend against.
If she had known this, she would have definitely stockpiled a large quantity of gas masks during the initial stockpiling phase.
There are only about two hundred gas masks in the space right now, which she bought along with her wilderness survival gear.
Professional-grade gas masks are already a niche product, and finding a reliable manufacturer is not easy. Those two hundred were purchased with the help of Fu Ssu-nien.
Many mutated plants may appear harmless, but they can actually be more dangerous than mutated beasts, killing silently and without warning.
Fortunately, before the large-scale mutation outbreak, a large amount of vegetation had already died due to the various natural disasters in the early stages; otherwise, this planet would probably be uninhabitable for humans anywhere.
It's only a matter of time. Most mutated plants will eventually mutate into spore-producing plants. Their spores will spread wherever the wind blows, multiplying rapidly and causing the ecological environment to deteriorate further.
When this planet finally becomes a wasteland, Lin Muyan's doomsday fortress may be humanity's last paradise...
Suddenly, several more thuds of people falling to the ground came from the mist.
Lin Muyan frowned, realizing she could no longer stand idly by, and immediately sent the ice wolf to chase the mutated tree.
Plants that walk on branches are no match for four-legged wolves, and in no time, the ice wolf caught up with it.
Lin Muyan didn't need to worry about these special forces soldiers discovering her little secret, because they had all lost their ability to think for themselves and no one even noticed her arrival.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Muyan released the sixteen mutated wolves from the black space and said to the ice wolf:
"Ice Wolf, corner it and try not to let it affect these humans."
As soon as Lin Muyan finished speaking, the Ice Wolf knew what to do.
With a low growl, the mutated wolf pack quickly split into three teams, separating the mutated tree from the special forces soldiers, and herding the mutated tree in the opposite direction like ducks.
Soon, the pack of wolves forced the mutated tree to the foot of the mountain, where steep cliffs rose up behind it, forming a natural barrier that was impossible to climb.
The mutated tree seemed to sense the danger, constantly trying to attack the wolf pack and Lin Muyan with its branches, but the mutated wolves thwarted each attack.
Several mutated wolves used their mouths to firmly bite the thickest branches of the mutated tree, rendering it powerless to struggle and relatively docile.
After observing it for a while, Lin Muyan determined that apart from those strange branches and the ability to release spores to control consciousness, it seemed to have no other special abilities.
Lin Muyan licked her lips, her eyes fixed on the fist-sized plums on the tree. She really liked the sweet and sour plums. She had planted several plum trees in the green space, but unfortunately, she hadn't chosen the right seed variety, so the harvest wasn't very tasty.
It's a pity this plum tree has mutated, otherwise the plums it bears would seem quite delicious.
Lin Muyan stared intently at the fruit growing on the tree, and the mutated tree seemed to sense it, as the entire tree suddenly trembled.
With this shake, the plums swayed on the tree, making them even more tempting to Lin Muyan.
After confirming that no one was around, Lin Muyan quickly took out a trap net.
This was the first mutated tree she had encountered, and she had to test whether the trap would work on it.
The net covered one of the branches of the mutated tree, making it look somewhat comical.
After waiting for a while and nothing happened, Lin Muyan realized that the beast-catching net was ineffective against plants, and she also had no way to put the mutated tree into the black space.
After putting away the animal-catching net, Lin Muyan thought for a moment, then cleared a small patch of land in the green space and turned her thoughts toward the mutated tree.
I just tried it casually, but I never expected it to succeed.
The mutated tree vanished on the spot, leaving the mutated wolves stunned for a moment, a look of confusion flashing in their eyes.
Lin Muyan casually waved her hand and put the pack of wolves back into the black space. Then she devoted herself to the green space to see the specific situation of the mutated tree.
In a 20-square-meter field, the mutated tree was planted deep inside.
All around were the towering chili peppers that Lin Muyan had recently replaced, a beautiful sight with their green and red hues.
After the mutated tree entered the green space, it suddenly became quiet.
The branches that used to flutter about seemed lifeless, drooping limply and motionless. The flower buds, which stored spore toxins, remained tightly closed, showing no intention of releasing spores.
Lin Muyan raised an eyebrow slightly. They behaved themselves after being transplanted into the green space? Could it be that her space has the power to suppress mutated plants?
Can the mutated plants be sealed away simply by planting them in the space farmland?
After thinking for a moment, Lin Muyan had another idea and moved the mutated tree out of the green space.
In that instant, the branches began to flutter again.
However, this time the mutated tree did not exhibit any dangerous behavior; it simply swayed its branches from side to side, as if it were quite happy.
Just then, a green branch carefully reached out to Lin Muyan.
The next second, as if by magic, a large, round plum, reddish-green in color, suddenly appeared at the top of the branch.
Lin Muyan's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed in surprise.
"A gift for me? You can really eat that much? Is it safe?"
The mutated tree stretched out two more branches, swaying them in mid-air as if responding to Lin Muyan and telling her that it wasn't poisonous.
Lin Muyan was immediately delighted, decisively picked it, wiped it on her clothes, and took a big bite.
[This gluttonous girl is courting death! She dares to taste the fruit of a mutated tree?!]
[Oh no, oh no! One bite and it's like taking a bite of the wicked queen's red apple; I'm probably going to be lying on my stomach.]
