In the few days since the bloodsucking vines were cleared away, there have been noticeably more small animals on the mountain, and occasionally the howling of wolves can be heard, waking Li Yao up in the middle of the night.
With nothing to do that day, Li Yao decided to clean up the small animals on the mountain.
She put on her protective suit, helmet, and infrared device, and went out alone without telling Dazhuang.
After teleporting to the mountain, Li Yao used Shadow Step in conjunction with teleportation to walk northeastward on the mountain.
As she walked, she had the system mark the locations of the animals so she could encounter them by chance.
Not long after marking the area, Li Yao discovered that there was a wild boar area ahead of her. She saw wild boars rummaging through the bushes, which was strange, since the two times she had encountered zombie wild boars, which weighed about five or six hundred pounds. Li Yao landed silently while the other animal was still rummaging through the bushes.
Without much probing, Li Yao directly used her Flame Helmet to burn the zombie boar's head to ashes. While maintaining the flames, she also placed an ice shield around the outermost layer, ensuring the flames could only burn the boar's head. Finally, when only the crystal core remained, she used her mental ability to touch it and store it in her spatial dimension. Then, she used [Spatial Devouring] to devour the zombie boar. In this way, the zombie boar contributed the crystal core, Li Yao trained her ability, and ultimately gained two skill points—a perfect process.
Later, Li Yao encountered zombie deer, zombie goats, and zombie wolves. She also saw a black bear with superpowers, a tiger with superpowers, a wild boar with superpowers, and a rabbit with superpowers, which was extremely fast.
Li Yao used the same process as with the zombie boars to kill the zombified animals, obtaining 28 crystal cores and 56 skill points, and replenishing her crystal cores 2 or 3 times.
Li Yao used her mental powers to release a kind of pressure on animals that had awakened supernatural abilities, making them dare not provoke her easily.
As for the supernatural plants, Li Yao finally saw the legendary man-eating flower, a flower with an unbearable stench. As soon as Li Yao smelled that strange smell, she didn't care about practicing her supernatural abilities anymore and directly had the system [Space Devour] her. She felt like she wanted to vomit up yesterday's food, but strangely enough, she could no longer smell the flower's stench when she was about 15 meters away.
The same goes for pitcher plants. Li Yao encountered a large patch of mutated pitcher plants.
The pitcher plant has a unique organ for absorbing nutrients—the pitcher. The pitcher is cylindrical with a slightly enlarged lower half and a lid on the opening. It is named for its resemblance to a pig's cage.
The pitcher plant's leaves have a complex structure, consisting of a petiole, leaf blade, and tendrils. The tendrils expand at the tip and curl back to form a pitcher shape, which allows them to trap insects.
The pitcher plant has a racemose inflorescence with small green or purple flowers, and the pitcher-shaped structure at the top of its leaves is a tool for trapping insects.
The bottle-shaped cap secretes a fragrance to attract insects. The smooth opening causes insects to slide into the bottle, where they are drowned by the liquid secreted at the bottom, and their nutrients are gradually digested and absorbed.
The original pitcher plant was only the length of a forearm and the height of a calf, but now it has mutated to more than 1 meter tall. If Li Yao hadn't seen a small bird standing next to it being sucked into the pitcher plant, she wouldn't have realized that it was a pitcher plant.
The pitcher plant actually emitted a faint fragrance. Li Yao caught a peculiar scent and wanted to smell it further, but the system quickly spoke up: "Host, close your sense of smell. This is the scent emitted by the pitcher plant as it traps its prey."
Li Yao was startled and immediately shut down her sense of smell, teleporting a considerable distance. Finally, feeling it wasn't far enough, she teleported a kilometer away. Then, she had the system use [Spatial Cutting] to collect the crystal cores from the entire pitcher plant before using [Spatial Devouring].
I was careless, I was careless. It seems I still lack experience. After learning from this lesson, Li Yao continued to explore the surrounding area.
