Li Yao flew into the deep mountains, and gradually more pine trees appeared.
These pine trees are the red pines unique to Northeast China, and they also produce pine nuts.
According to the time before the apocalypse, the Northeast red pine matures in October. Li Yao thought that since she was already here, she might as well see if she could pick some pine nuts.
She unleashed the aura of an 8th-level superhuman, selected an old-looking pine tree with pine cones still attached, and controlled the pine cones to fly into her hand.
These trees were all mutated, mostly level 3 or 4. They trembled for a moment upon sensing Li Yao's level 8 pressure, and then they all began to "play dead."
Li Yao ignored them, looked at the fresh pine cone in her hand, took out a pine nut from it, and squeezed it open. The pine kernel inside was plump, and the aroma of oil spread in the air.
These pine nuts are also a level 2 mutation. Each pine nut is the size of a sunflower seed that Li Yao used to eat.
She put the pine nuts in her mouth; they were sweet, tender, and rich in oils. The taste was quite good.
This time, Li Yao didn't let the pine trees move on their own. Instead, she chose to use [Spatial Control], since she still needed to accumulate skill points.
She took out the spiritual spring water, controlling it to droplet by drop before her eyes, and spoke to the pine trees in the forest with her spiritual power: "Spiritual spring water, in exchange for your pine cones."
After speaking, Li Yao controlled the spiritual spring water, sending one drop from each tree into the trunk of the pine tree.
This is undiluted; the spiritual energy it contains is very pure.
The pine trees all seemed to feel comfortable and began to slowly absorb this spiritual energy.
Li Yao flew directly into the air, controlling all the pine cones in the pine trees to fly out, forming a long dragon in the air, and finally collecting them all into her space.
This immediately earned over 20 million skill points; the ultimate move was indeed powerful.
After collecting the pine nuts, Li Yao looked at the hazel mushrooms at the tree roots.
Hazel mushrooms are a particularly delicious type of mushroom.
It is known as a "mountain delicacy" and the "fourth treasure of Northeast China".
Hazel mushrooms are edible fungi belonging to the Tricholomataceae family. Wild hazel mushrooms are one of the unique delicacies of Northeast China.
Stewed chicken with hazel mushrooms is an indispensable traditional dish for Northeasterners to entertain distinguished guests. Hazel mushrooms contain a variety of essential amino acids and vitamins. Regular consumption can strengthen the body's immunity, improve intelligence and mood, replenish energy and relieve hunger, and prolong life.
Botanical encyclopedias indicate that regular consumption of wild hazel mushrooms can prevent dry skin and resist certain respiratory and digestive tract infections.
Hazel mushrooms contain the anti-cancer chemical paclitaxel, which can treat ovarian cancer, breast cancer, and some other cancers, and may prolong the life of patients.
Hazel mushrooms have a natural aroma that can stimulate the appetite, and their rich fiber content can aid digestion and prevent constipation.
Hazel mushrooms also have the effect of lowering cholesterol, avoiding the harm of saturated fatty acids in meat to the body, and can effectively prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Li Yao wasn't sure about the pre-apocalyptic hazel mushrooms, but she was certain that the post-apocalyptic mutated hazel mushrooms would have the same effects.
Li Yao used her mental power to examine the roots of these old trees and found that the hazel mushrooms were all level 3 or 4 mutated fungi. They absorbed nutrients from the mutated trees and grew exceptionally large and plump.
Putting aside its nourishing effects, the stewed chicken alone is absolutely top-notch; Li Yao's mouth was practically watering.
She didn't land; instead, she controlled the hazel mushrooms to peel them from the tree roots in mid-air and then stored them in her spatial storage.
This place is sparsely populated, and the land is moist and fertile, so there are plenty of hazel mushrooms. Li Yao harvested a total of more than 300 catties.
Hazel mushrooms are easier to preserve when dried, while fresh ones are more tender and delicious.
Li Yao has space, so she doesn't need to dry the food; she can eat chicken stew with mushrooms tonight.
Li Yao continued to wander in the mountains, collecting many matsutake mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms, and some large lingzhi mushrooms.
We also encountered several wild chestnut trees.
Li Yao finally got what she wanted; she wanted to see a plant attack others with its fruit, and the chestnut tree gave her a demonstration.
Let's go back 5 minutes.
As Li Yao flew slowly through the air, she scanned her surroundings with her mental energy and also looked around with her eyes. After all, in the deep mountains and forests, some plants and flowers were more vibrant.
Li Yao scanned the chestnut trees with her mental energy; they were three level-five mutated trees, but she didn't take them seriously. After all, she was level 8, and these chestnut trees posed no threat to her.
With her eyes still fixed on the unknown wildflowers on the ground, Li Yao flew into the attack range of the mutated chestnut tree.
In an instant, several spiked spheres hurtled towards Li Yao, accompanied by the sound of them piercing the air; they were incredibly fast.
Li Yao reacted quickly, using her mental energy to touch all the spiky balls and collect them into her spatial storage.
After all, the chestnut tree is a tree. When it missed its first attack, it continued to send flying spikes, which Li Yao then collected. Back and forth like this, all the spikes on the chestnut tree ended up in Li Yao's space, and the chestnut tree could no longer fly.
Seeing that the chestnut tree had stopped bearing fruit, Li Yao started mocking it, calling it a little karaomi and asking it to try flying another one.
The chestnut tree, furious, began to shake its leaves. If this tree had a mouth, it would probably be hurling insults, calling these two-legged creatures inhuman for taking so much of its fruit and then cursing it…
Li Yao was just teasing the tree for fun, and it was quite interesting. She took out a spiky ball and controlled the chestnuts inside to fly out. They were all plump and round fruits, which she happily accepted.
Li Yao controlled all the spiky balls in the space to fly out and gather in the air. Then she controlled the fruits to fly out of the spiky balls and gather in the air, while the outer shells all returned to the land near the chestnut.
He gave each tree a drop of spiritual spring water before slowly bidding them farewell and continuing his exploration.
