Li Yao was speechless as she watched the redwood tree run back to its original spot. She thought it would have some kind of powerful wood-type ability and could unleash a powerful attack, but all it could do was run away.
However, seeing that the redwood tree looked quite "withered," Li Yao casually took out a level 2 wood-type crystal core from her spatial storage and placed it on the tree's roots, considering that it had "played" with her for quite a while.
System […Is that a joke? Your Chinese characters are truly profound; if that tree had a mouth, it would probably hurl a lot of filth.]
Seeing the redwood tree roots hurriedly pulling the crystal core deep into their own root system, Li Yao smiled and turned to go for a stroll elsewhere.
Li Yao and her group didn't specifically choose a place; they just thought they'd head east first and see how it went.
This area is a coniferous and deciduous broad-leaved forest, not as terrifying as a tropical rainforest. The trees are tall, and the ground is covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves that feel soft underfoot.
However, there were indeed quite a few insects, and Li Yao's mental strength was particularly tormented because all sorts of soft, white, plump or black, shelled insects were hiding in the decaying leaves and bushes.
Li Yao kept getting goosebumps. She really wasn't used to this.
She took out insecticide from her spatial storage and sprayed it on herself from head to toe. Now, whether there were bugs or not, they couldn't get close to her.
As Li Yao walked, she felt something was off, as if someone was watching her.
After she signaled everyone to stop, she held her breath and couldn't hear any sounds other than the chirping of insects and birds. She then used her mental power to search the area, but there were only trees around her, no people or animals.
Thinking she had misperceived, she continued walking forward. After taking a few steps, Li Yao felt... that the tree not far behind her seemed familiar. She used her mental abilities to carefully sense the tree's energy and realized that it might be the tree she had given the crystal core to earlier.
Li Yao relaxed a lot. If it was just this tree, there was no problem. It was just a level 2 wood-type redwood tree, not much of a threat. It was probably just curious and following her around.
Ignoring the tree, Li Yao continued walking. She heard the sound of flowing water ahead and looked closely. It was a small river with many animal footprints on the bank, indicating that this was where animals drank water.
Li Yao carefully examined them and found that there were sika deer, wild boars, monkeys, and so on, mostly herbivores.
"There are deer here," Li Yao thought, wanting to see them. She asked the system, "[6834, where are the sika deer?]"
System: [Host, there are indeed several sika deer about 5 kilometers to your northeast.]
Li Yao was eager to go upon hearing this. She told Da Zhuang and the robots, "You wait here while I go buy some oranges... Um, I'm going to check on the deer, I'll be right back."
System message: [Is there a place to buy and sell oranges here?]
Li Yao […slurred her words, slurred her words]
After teleporting to the location provided by the system, Li Yao hid behind a tree. Using her mental power to "see," she discovered about five sika deer in front of her, two of which exhibited obvious supernatural energy fluctuations.
Both of these deer have very large antlers, and they playfully tug at each other's antlers from time to time. They are both level 3 superpowers. There are also three other deer that are clearly cubs and have level 1 superpowers. They have long eyelashes, small bumps on their heads, and look innocent and cute. I want to pet them.
Li Yao didn't know if venison was tasty; she'd only ever had donkey meat sandwiches. However, deer antler and blood were quite valuable, replenishing kidney essence and boosting energy. But Li Yao didn't need them; she'd just use her spiritual power to look at, touch, and pet the fawn.
After stealing a bite from the deer, Li Yao teleported back to the riverbank, where Da Zhuang and the others were waiting for her.
Li Yao continued forward, thinking that the places she had chosen along the way had been quite smooth, without encountering any zombie animals, when she saw the bushes ahead rustling and shaking. She used her mental power to "see" and discovered that it was a zombie wild boar.
The zombie boar's nose was clearly bitten off, and its eyes were deep red. It was frantically digging in the bushes, and it was unclear what it was doing.
Just then, the robot stepped on a tree branch, and with a "thud," the wild boar stopped.
Seeing this, Li Yao quickly ordered the robots to scatter and find cover. This wild boar looked to weigh 500 or 600 pounds; if they were to be hit, they would suffer terribly.
The wild boar turned its head and saw Li Yao, then trotted towards her.
Li Yao used teleportation to roam around and dodge the wild boar, occasionally stabbing the wound in front of its nose with an ice spike, driving the boar crazy. The boar roared and tried to pounce on her.
Li Yao continued to use her superpowers to wear it down at a leisurely pace, stabbing the boar in the neck with an ice blade and the boar in the rump with a fire blade. This wild boar must have also awakened a superpower, similar to a skin-enhancing superpower, a mutated type, with incredibly thick skin and flesh. Her superpowered daggers could only make small cuts.
However, she was not discouraged. As long as she made a small cut, she continued to stab at the spot with her supernatural dagger. Finally, when the wild boar was panting heavily, Li Yao managed to make a cut on its head and then used a large ice pick to firmly pin its head to the ground.
The ice pick pierced the wild boar's brain, so the boar stopped moving.
Li Yao used her fire-based powers to engulf the entire pig and burn it, then collected a pale yellow crystal core the size of a grape.
