Chapter 125 Why is the baby hiding?
While Pan Duole was speaking, Zuo Shan noticed that two small leaves had sprouted from her wrist; it was Wanwan who had taken the initiative to emerge!
Ever since she made a contract with Wanwan, it usually wouldn't come out on its own unless she summoned it, but this time, it was clearly very eager.
It kept sending her messages, saying it wanted that bead!
However, this bead was Pandora's spoils of war, and Zuo Shan felt that she couldn't be so selfish as to let her contracted plant steal the opportunity that belonged to her.
Mao Li saw through her thoughts and explained, "Master, given Lele's current condition, she cannot absorb the Wood Spirit Core casually. Otherwise, if the two guys in her body absorb it unevenly, the balance in her body will be broken again."
"Let's wait until she awakens her powers before we talk about it," Zuo Shan said, suppressing Wanwan's eagerness.
“Awakening a superpower doesn’t necessarily mean it’s wood-based. If Lele doesn’t have a wood-based superpower, she can’t absorb the wood spirit cores herself. She has to wait until her superpower level is higher than the two in her body before she can fully control them and prevent them from stealing energy at will,” Mao Li said.
After listening for a while, Pandora finally understood that Wanwan wanted this bead.
Wanwan is the mutated plant contracted by her older sister. It is completely under her sister's control. If Wanwan becomes stronger, her sister will face less danger in the future.
Thinking of this, she didn't hesitate and directly stuffed the bead between the two curved little leaves.
Before Zuo Shan could react, he saw the two curved leaves quickly open up, completely enveloping the bead, and then disappear in an instant.
Zuo Shan never expected that her dog Wanwan could do such a thing. She was just about to have a good talk with it and ask it to vomit the stuff out for Lele when she suddenly felt her whole body start to swell up.
It was as if every cell in her body was filled with energy, and it was being replenished continuously, which she herself could not refuse.
At the same time, Wanwan suddenly enabled visual sharing for her, and she was able to clearly see every blood vessel and every cell in her body.
The winding root system was hidden in her brain, but not in a specific part of the brain; rather, it was a newly created space deep between her eyebrows.
This space is connected to a main nerve in her brain by a transparent tube, which is why it can transmit some of its consciousness to her at any time.
The key point is that the enormous energy is constantly eroding its roots, and the thin, curved roots are visibly thickening and growing larger.
Even though he knew nothing about this fantastical world, Zuo Shan could see that this energy was far too much for Wanwan to handle.
If this continues, Wanwan will definitely explode and die, and as its contracted owner, even if she doesn't die, several of her meridians will be destroyed.
That little rascal, he's really caused a lot of trouble!
Zuo Shan was anxious and wanted to ask Mao Li what to do, but then she found that she could no longer control her body.
She tried to shift her gaze from introspection to the outside world, and then she saw her body lying limply on the ground. Pandora, standing beside her, was crying anxiously and kept calling out:
"Sister, wake up! Waaah! I'm so sorry, sister, I shouldn't have bent that damn bead!"
Zuo Shan wanted to comfort her by saying it wasn't her fault, but she was powerless to control her body. She could only turn to introspection and try to discuss with Wanwan whether she could expel the bead or the energy inside it.
Suddenly, she discovered that the rampant energy within her body seemed to be drawn by some force, forming an energy vortex.
It was spinning, flowing slowly in one direction.
And the direction it flowed was towards her lower abdomen, or more precisely, her uterus.
In her haste, she had activated her internal vision but hadn't had a chance to look at the baby in her womb. Now, seeing such a huge energy vortex spinning towards her uterus, she was terrified!
Will baby Achen be alright? It's only a fetus less than seven months old; how could it withstand such a massive energy surge!
However, when she turned her gaze to the uterus, she found that a layer of mist obscured her vision, making it impossible for her to see anything inside.
This is strange, because she can clearly see her own neural network and every blood vessel and cell in her body, as if she were under a microscope with nowhere to hide.
But why can't I see anything inside the uterus?
"Baby Chen, can Mommy see you?" Zuo Shan conveyed her feelings to the baby through her thoughts.
Soon, she received a response from Baby Chen, which conveyed a message to her: "Baby, hide, you can't see me!"
"Why does the baby want to hide itself?" Zuo Shan continued to communicate with it.
"He's bad, Mommy's scared, she won't let...find out." The baby relayed this several times, and Zuo Shan finally understood what it meant.
Ever since she first met Mortilan, she had been worried that he would one day discover the baby and then come and take the baby away from her.
I didn't expect the baby to be conscious so early and to sense her mother's deep worry, so she deliberately hid herself.
No wonder that when Mortilan was pulled out of the river, he stayed at her house for several days and still couldn't sense the presence of his own bloodline.
She was relieved to think that this so-called bloodline connection was just an unfounded legend.
She even hoped that if the baby was born and looked like her, then even if the biological father, Mortiland, were face to face, he probably wouldn't recognize her.
It turns out that all of this was the work of the unborn baby, who used some special ability to hide itself.
Zuo Shan estimated that even if she went for a prenatal checkup now, it probably wouldn't detect any images of the fetus in her uterus. Of course, to be on the safe side, she didn't plan to go for another prenatal checkup.
The baby was so strong that no matter how hard it was or how high it climbed, there was no sign of miscarriage. Therefore, she guessed that the baby would be born safely and healthily.
Zuo Shan felt gratified, and then communicated with the baby's consciousness: "With so much energy, won't you get hurt if you absorb it?"
After a long while, the baby finally managed to say, "No..."
And then there was no response.
Zuo Shan guessed that the continuous communication must have been a heavy burden for the baby, since it was still a fetus and was probably too tired to rest.
Then she realized that she had forgotten to ask the baby whether it was a boy or a girl.
Forget it, forget it. Anyway, the baby will be born in less than three months. When the time comes, just hold the little feet upside down and take a look, then everything will be clear, right?
Although the baby stopped communicating with her, a continuous vortex of energy continued to flow towards the uterus.
Looking at Wanwan again, Zuo Shan noticed that the rate at which its roots, stems, and leaves were expanding had slowed down, and each of Zuo Shan's own cells was gradually returning to normal.
Zuo Shan glared angrily at Wanwan and said, "You little brat, you dare to force yourself to eat things you can't handle? And you even snatched them from Lele's hands! Believe me or not, I'll pinch off your little leaf!"
Wanwan swayed her plumper little leaves, looking like she was obediently admitting her mistake: "I'm sorry, Master, Wanwan was wrong, I won't do it again!"
However, it did not truly admit its mistake in its heart. Before its former owner died, it broke the contract with the former owner. Because it lacked energy, it could only hide in the small sunflower planting area in District 46, hoping to wait for a powerful wood-type ability user to appear so that it could form a contract with the former owner again.
However, it never found its ideal contract partner. As the years passed, it kept its promise to its former master and kept consuming its supernatural power to purify the soil of District 46, eventually causing its supernatural power to drop to the first level.
If this continues, it will degenerate into an ordinary mutated plant, completely losing its intelligence. Helpless, it can only lower its requirements for its master.
Today it noticed the scavenger on the left, who, like its former owner, didn't think of eating its seeds or selling them for money, but rather seriously appreciated their beauty.
After forming a contract with such a person, it's unlikely that they would only think about using her abilities for their own benefit; it's quite satisfied with her character.
Originally, it was a pity that she was an ordinary person and could not form a contract, but then he sensed that she was carrying a baby with strong potential, and under the nourishment of this baby's superpowers, she, an adult, actually awakened superpowers.
Although the superpower was very weak, it was indeed enough to complete the contract.
So it decided to take a gamble and voluntarily entered into a contract with her.
As it turned out, she, a scavenger, really didn't have many usable resources, and the creature that followed her could hardly get anything good to help it improve its superpowers.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have seen the wood spirit core that Lele handed it over, and without waiting for its master's permission or even considering whether it could swallow it, it swallowed it directly.
Fortunately, its little owner is strong enough, otherwise both it and its owner would be in big trouble today. Even if it doesn't explode, it would at least have to hibernate for three months.
The only saving grace is that it has successfully broken through to the second tier, making the risk worthwhile!
Although its ability was rather useless in the early stages, even after breaking through to the second tier, it could not purify the soil over a large area. However, it could purify the wood spirit core of plants. Otherwise, the Ghost Thorn Vine King would not have easily given way to its master.
