When Shen Jing walked up to Huang Simiao to check on her condition, she was surprised to find that Gu Yan's mutated vine was also lingering nearby.
This vine is so opportunistic; how did it end up near Huang Simiao?
That energy that almost burst it just now.
Hasn't it scared it enough?
The mutated vine noticed Shen Jing's gaze and instinctively tried to move away. However, after swaying a couple of times, it stayed close to Shen Jing, following her arm all the way to her palm, and then timidly clasped her hands together.
This confused Shen Jing, but coincidentally, she also had something to ask it privately.
Shen Jing used her other hand to probe Huang Simiao's forehead and found that the chaotic energy was indeed dissipating and being effectively absorbed by her body.
Huang Simiao should be waking up soon.
Shen Jing gently squeezed the branch of the mutated vine and said softly, "You came out here to find bones?"
Upon hearing this, the mutated vine tightened its grip on Shen Jing's hand, seemingly still afraid.
What other energy entities on the mountain could terrify the mutated vine like this? After all, its master is Gu Yan. Could there be something even more powerful than its master? It should have been used to being tormented by Gu Yan by now.
Unexpectedly, the mutated vine quietly scratched at Shen Jing's arm: "Bones, lots of bones, he's trying to cause trouble!"
This is incredible! The mutated vine has even learned the phrase "causing trouble."
Shen Jing chuckled lightly. If a big shot doesn't cause trouble, will he still be a big shot?
Taking advantage of this time, Shen Jing asked again, "Has his body fully recovered? Has he stopped sending energy to the Earth's core?"
The mutated vine loosened its branches and leaves suspiciously, and continued scratching: "It won't die, it'd rather be sent away than give it to me!"
After the mutated vine finished expressing its anger, she understood that when it said it wouldn't die, it probably meant that Gu Yan had finally recovered from his near-death state that day in the extreme heat. His recovery speed was already slow, and having to supply energy to the Earth's core, she didn't know how he had overdrawn his resources…
"He overdraws my money! It's mine!" The mutated vines lashed out and wrapped around Shen Jing's arm.
"Didn't you just come back stuffed?" Shen Jing patted the mutated vine to calm it down. "And after he died, does that mean you can live on your own?"
"Anyway, we'll be freed from this sooner or later, hmph!"
“Yes, be nice to him before you untie him, or I’ll make you drink the spiritual spring water,” Shen Jing warned playfully.
"You wicked woman! Why isn't that lunatic nicer to me?!"
After writing the last word, the mutated vine lashed out at Shen Jing with its tail, making a "smack" sound.
Even Gu Yan noticed the commotion and looked over.
But Shen Jing hadn't yet found out why the mutated vine had been sneaking around Huang Simiao earlier! Seeing it quickly dodge back into Gu Yan's palm, Shen Jing felt a pang of regret for not watering it more with the spiritual spring water!
After the mutated vines disappear.
Shen Jing pinched a withered grass and shook it, but if she used a little too much force, the withered grass would quickly break in two.
Gu Yan raised an eyebrow, guessing that she must have had a falling out with the mutated vine.
But shouldn't they be allies?
The two of them, one human and one vine, even collaborated to produce that half-true, half-false statement.
The two were separated by a pile of mutated snake corpses, and neither spoke for a moment. Moreover, He Qing and Huang Simiao were probably about to wake up, and Shen Jing needed to sort out what had happened that night and explain things to them later.
This damn sense of responsibility, Shen Jing thought as she lay back, began to find it very troublesome.
But if you want to be a salted fish (a metaphor for someone who is content with a simple life), you have to pay a price first...
A salted fish can turn over, but a salted fish can only sigh in despair.
As Shen Jing turned over, she met Huang Simiao's bright eyes, who blinked innocently twice.
Seeing that she finally regained consciousness and that her mental state was not affected.
Shen Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ah Jing...did you save me again?"
"Gu Yan saved you, but I almost harmed you." He hadn't even figured out her constitution before rashly taking her up the mountain.
Although Shen Jing's voice was very soft, Huang Simiao shook his head violently and said, "No! No! When those mutated vines took me away, they meant no harm... But later, I don't know how, I fainted, and I felt like I couldn't breathe and was about to die..."
Huang Simiao felt that ultimately it was because she was too careless.
She actually let herself be taken away by the mutated plant without even putting up a fight! With such brain-dead behavior, who else but her should be cannon fodder?!
Shen Jing patted her head and comforted her, "Those mutated vines fed you like a baby... and they accidentally overfed you."
This was the simplest and most understandable explanation she could think of.
Huang Simiao immediately understood.
She said guiltily, "You must have scared the captain to death just now. I was too reckless. Even if they meant me no harm, it doesn't mean they won't hurt you."
"Learn from experience. Next time you feel hungry and instinctively want to go into the forest, be careful."
"Hungry?" Huang Shimiao rubbed his stomach.
"That's not what I meant. It means your special ability can be sustained by the forest, allowing you to advance while lying down." Shen Jing looked at her with slight envy.
Who wouldn't want to be a couch potato?
It can only be said that Shen Jing's mental abilities were too powerful, and it did not have the opportunity to accept the mutated vine's feeding!
"Such a good thing? Hahaha!" Huang Simiao sat up excitedly and looked at Shen Jing, his expression full of the joy of winning the lottery: "Does that mean wood-types go to forests, fire-types go to volcanoes, and since you're lightning-type... you have to fly kites in the rain?"
Not to mention how extremely hot it is now, you can't even see a single cloud.
Shen Jing couldn't possibly go out and fly a kite during a thunderstorm to attract lightning, could she?
This is all a bit unreliable!
However, Huang Simiao's idea just now was not bad.
Elemental abilities do indeed have an advantage in environments of the same element, but the problem is that not all ability users have this advantage. Shen Jing couldn't help but think of Yang Mutong during the flood in City C. If the conditions were right, could she also quickly increase her ability level?
There is currently no solution to this problem.
However, we could try taking He Qing to the volcano.
After all, the volcano was showing unusual activity at that time, and it was Zhang Run, not He Qing, who went there. They might have actually succeeded!
Noticing that Shen Jing was distracted, Huang Simiao did not disturb her.
She took out the soybeans that Shen Jing had given her from her backpack, eager to try out her advanced superpower.
The soybeans that were quietly soaking in the container suddenly sprouted plump bean sprouts!
"This...this...Waaaaah! I can finally use my superpower to sprout beans! Waaaaah..."
This surprised Huang Simiao so much that he was speechless, and finally woke up He Qing who was next to him.
He Qing vaguely heard Huang Simiao's voice. At first, he thought it was his hallucination and quickly looked around!
The first thing they saw was Gu Yan standing indifferently not far away.
