"Except for those with fire abilities, everyone else, please retreat." Mu Cheng said. "There's no technical skill involved in dealing with these mutant grasses. Just throw fireballs and burn them."
After hearing what Mu Cheng said, everyone didn't hesitate and immediately threw fireballs into the bushes.
In just a few moments, the grass on both sides of the road was burned to ashes.
Mu Cheng looked at Master Yang behind him and said, "Master Yang, the crystal cores here belong to the fire and wood psychics who got off the bus to help. They should be fine, right?"
Before Master Yang could answer, someone asked, "Do these grasses also have crystal cores?"
Mu Cheng did not answer, but just looked at Master Yang with a smile, waiting for Master Yang to reply.
Master Yang did not argue and replied, "That's natural."
"Then dig for the crystal core. Whoever digs it out will own it. The crystal core should be in the soil." Mu Cheng said, and she took out a dagger and walked to the land where only ashes were left. Based on her experience in the previous life, she quickly found the location of the main root of a mutant grass, pried open the soil with a dagger, and dug for a few minutes. A pool of green juice appeared underneath.
Mu Cheng put his hands in his pockets and took out four pairs of gloves from the space under the cover of his clothes. He took one pair for himself and gave three pairs to Wang Xintong and the others. He warned them, "Don't touch the juice. Even a little bit can corrode the car. If you put your hands in, it might even corrode your bones."
After saying that, Mu Cheng put on gloves and reached into the juice. After searching for a while with his right hand, he found a green crystal core with juice in it.
"It really is." When the others saw Mu Cheng find the crystal core, they immediately started digging.
However, they did not know that Mu Cheng could accurately find the taproot before digging, but just dug around in the soil. This resulted in some lucky ones being able to dig up the taproot, while others had to dig for a long time before finding it.
As they were digging, someone spoke up and said, "Speaking of which, a while ago, all the plants inside and outside the base were cleared out, and they even had fire-type mutants burn them all. Is that because they already knew that these plants had mutated?"
Seeing these mutated grasses, everyone understood that the base must have known for a long time that plants would mutate, which was why they cleared out the plants inside and outside the base, so no one answered this person's question.
A man who looked like Mu Cheng asked, "Captain Mu, are the things in Yangjia Village also plants? We were the first group to go to Yangjia Village. Three people died in the team. They disappeared suddenly. When we found them, they were covered with grass and roots, and their blood had been sucked dry."
Mu Cheng responded, "Yes! The troublemaker in Yang Village is the willow tree at the entrance of the village."
Someone asked again, "Captain Mu, so only fire-type mutants can deal with these transformed plants?"
"The main root of the mutant grass is underground, so only fire-type abilities can deal with it. As for other mutant plants, we need to find its center, which is where the crystal core is."
After saying this, Mu Cheng added, in order to avoid suspicion, "Of course, I'm not sure if all mutant plants have crystal cores. Anyway, the two mutant plants I encountered previously all had crystal cores."
"Alas! Now even the plants have mutated. It will be even more dangerous for us to go out in the future."
"At least zombies can be seen from a distance, and we can think of countermeasures, but mutant plants are like enemies lurking in the shadows. Wherever you go, you might be ambushed. Today, we're lucky because we're in large numbers, and the people in the car behind us can help. If a car gets entangled in mutant grass and can't even get out, how can we escape?"
