Chapter 692: Fragile Thorns
Another mutated rat attack passed through the border, all coming from the south. Each one was as big as a tiger, with hard skin. It was difficult for ordinary plants to pierce the skin of these mutated rats. The south was the weak defense area of Rouhua, and there were many rats, so it was easy for them to rush over, all over the mountains and plains, and eat food everywhere.
Ordinary plants were eaten by them, and the surface of the ground became bare. They not only gnawed the surface, but also the roots underground. Of course, mutated plants were also their food, but they were a little more difficult to deal with than ordinary plants.
Zhan Lian brought a few gold-type mutants with him and erected a metal wall on the south side. However, it was obvious that the mutant rats would even gnaw on the metal. They did not eat it, but just wanted to pass through. Their teeth were extremely sharp, so the metal wall could not stop them from marching north.
So Zhan Lian could only take his men to guard the wall, and repair any broken parts he found.
In front of such a big rat, Meat Flower's strength was probably not enough, because those rats even gnawed on Meat Flower, and there were too many of them. A lot of Meat Flower's roots underground were eaten by these rats.
In this situation, a mutant plant with thorns is urgently needed. The thorns on the plant must be particularly sharp, and it is best if they can directly pierce the fur of the mutant animal. An Ran held the baby and the little mint and planted the fat thorn ball under the metal wall. The white flower branches, which looked like fox tails, had soft velvety thorns and lay on the metal wall. However, a big rat jumped up and bit off a part of the flower branch in one bite.
A cry sounded in An Ran's mind. She looked at the fat thorn ball at her feet, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. It shrank back into the flower branch in grievance. She shouted to Zhan Lian who was busy at the side:
"Can you catch some mice and kill them half dead to feed the child?"
She pointed at the fat thorn ball crying at her feet, and kicked its broken branches with some disgust. After the fat thorn ball was reborn, it was particularly thick-skinned, and was kicked away. Not long after, it came over again with its branches twisted, hugging Anran's trouser legs and crying.
Fragile thorn, its life is so miserable～～～Ahhhhh!!!
Zhan Lian would not understand the inner world of this mutated plant, but he listened to An Ran. Coincidentally, the iron wall beside him was knocked open by a mutated rat outside, and the head of a mutant rat was stuck in the hole.
Zhan Lian used both hands to pry open the mutant mouse's mouth, allowing the fat thorn ball's branches to drill into its throat and eat a lot of the mutant mouse's body.
Soon, only an empty skin was left of the mutant mouse. Zhan Lian pulled the mouse's fur out of the hole and threw it on the ground. Another mouse jumped into the iron hole. Zhan Lian pried open the mutant mouse's mouth in the same way as last time and "fed" the poor fat thorn ball.
"An Ran, what are you looking at?"
Yun Tao brought Heng Heng to replenish supplies for the gold-type mutants under the city wall. From a distance, he saw An Ran squatting in front of some mouse skins, looking around.
She had already handed the doll in her hand to Xiao Mint to take care of. An Ran freed her hands, picked up a branch, and poked the dead skin of the mutant mouse.
"I was wondering what these skins can be used for?" An Ran looked up and saw Yun Tao coming over. "I remember you used to make gloves with the skins of mutant animals."
