Chapter 25
Jin Mianhua was afraid that the young master would disagree, so she hurriedly continued to explain.
"My young master, my protection period is almost over. I'm only a little short of energy to upgrade. Once I successfully upgrade, I can release poison gas and hallucinogenic gas once a day. However, releasing poison gas and hallucinogenic gas now requires a huge cost, and I can't release them a second time in a short period of time."
If my little master could take me out with him, I could always gain energy and level up faster. But my little master would probably be very tired from having to carry me around all the time.
Long Yuanyuan didn't mind at all. She immediately said excitedly, "Okay, Huahua, I'll take you out to find the treasure chest right away."
Yaya next to it immediately became unhappy and shook its body desperately, trying to get its little master to take it out as well.
[Go out...I'm also...]
Jinmianhua looked at the small green buds not far away and explained patiently.
"Ya Ya, it would be very tiring if the little master took the two of us out together. I'll go first this time, and you can go after I finish upgrading."
Xiao Lu Ya was a little depressed, but he also understood that Hua Hua was telling the truth, so he had to agree.
At this moment, Long Yuanyuan found an empty mineral water bottle, skillfully cut the bottle in half, carefully placed Huahua in the empty mineral water bottle, and then poured some water into it.
After doing all this, Long Yuanyuan set off with Huahua.
"Yaya, you have to stay at home and watch over the house."
The soft and sticky little voice disappeared in the house. The little green bud felt a little bored, so it had to work hard to make its roots stronger and grow up faster.
——
In the wasteland.
Jinmianhua listened to the little master's panting and asked hurriedly.
[Little Master, do you want to stop and rest for a while? ]
Along the way, it kept trying to sense the surroundings and tried to help its little master find the treasure chest, but to no avail.
Long Yuanyuan stretched out her little hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead. "No need, we'll soon get to where the big tree lives, and then we'll go find the treasure chest."
There was fatigue in her childish voice and sweat soaked her clothes, but she continued to move forward, fearing to waste any time.
Jinmianhua had no choice but to shut up and wished she could grow legs so that her little master wouldn't have to work so hard.
"We're here!" Long Yuanyuan trotted forward happily. His staggering figure made people worry, but fortunately he didn't fall.
The tree had sensed the arrival of Long Yuanyuan and Jin Mianhua a long time ago, "Jin Mianhua, you're here too."
[Grandpa Dead Tree!] Jinmianhua was also a little excited. This was Grandpa Dead Tree, the one who watched countless plants grow. She had originally thought that after following her young master, she would never see Grandpa Dead Tree again, but she didn't expect to see him again just a few days later.
Long Yuanyuan placed the flower in her hand at the root of the dead tree, then took out mineral water from her backpack and skillfully poured one-fifth of the water at the root.
The dead tree shook its branches in welcome.
"Cub, now that you've rested, go find the treasure chests. There are five treasure chests today, which is not bad."
Long Yuanyuan nodded, sat down on the ground, leaned against the tree, and chatted with the tree in a casual manner.
Just when Long Yuanyuan was about to leave, the dead tree shook violently, using its full perception of Jin Mianhua and Long Yuanyuan for the first time.
"etc!"
An old voice sounded, with a hint of excitement in it.
Long Yuanyuan stopped obediently, looked up and asked curiously: "Dashu, what's wrong?"
"Cub, have you made a contract with Jinmianhua?"
Long Yuanyuan nodded obediently.
The dead tree stayed where it was, and after a while, it shook its branches and said, "You guys go."
Other than that, it says nothing.
This time, after Long Yuanyuan left, the dead tree did not fall into hibernation for the first time. Instead, it looked at the sun in the sky and fell into deep thought.
At first, it asked the cubs to find Jinmianhua, just wanting them to take care of each other.
The Jin cotton plant lacked water, and the cubs had no fighting power. This was a completely mutually beneficial transaction. Moreover, the dead tree thought that the cubs were just taking the Jin cotton plant home to plant, but he didn't expect...
They actually made a contract.
Contracts are held in the hands of a very small number of chosen ones. Born with the ability to draw upon some of the power between heaven and earth, they are empowered to strengthen themselves. Contracts, however, are the heavenly agreements signed by the chosen ones seeking spiritual plants and beasts. The initiative rests with the chosen ones.
Because the contract is a greater constraint on spiritual plants, and spiritual plants are often just vassals of the Chosen One, few spiritual plants and spiritual beasts are willing to do so. The spiritual plant clan even considers it a disgrace, never recording any relevant information, only a few general introductions.
Since the warning, all creatures on this continent have been searching for hope, for life. Many spiritual plants have chosen to form pacts with humans, traveling together to further reaches of the world in search of life. Meanwhile, the dead trees have chosen to transform into dead trees, conserving their energy and falling into dormancy. From that moment on, the dead trees have become known as the dead trees.
During this process, the dead tree woke up several times, and each time the situation on the continent became worse. It also tried to find humans to sign a contract, looking for a glimmer of hope, but the humans who appeared later had no energy at all, making it impossible to sign a contract. At the same time, there were no new spiritual plants or spiritual beasts on the continent.
Later, when it woke up, this place became a complete wasteland, lifeless.
So when it discovered its cub was the Chosen One, it was shocked and delighted. Did this mean a turning point for the continent was approaching? A chance for life was about to emerge?
But from the beginning to the end, the dead tree never thought of signing a contract with the cub, because it had no idea how to sign a contract with the Chosen One. And the cub was so young, it couldn't even read, let alone understand the concept of signing a contract.
But now, the cub has signed a contract with Jinmianhua. Should it continue to hibernate and wait for a chance of survival, or sign a contract with the cub and leave?
Deadwood doesn't know either...

On the other side, Long Yuanyuan couldn't help sneezing. She touched her nose, not caring at all, and then stepped forward to open the bronze treasure chest in front of her.
[Open bronze treasure chest, drinking water +5, wood +5, drinking fountain fragment +1]
Long Yuanyuan was so excited that she jumped several times on the spot. After studying the various supplies on the information panel last night, what she wanted most now was no longer drinking water, but water dispenser fragments.
The information panel shows that 10 water dispenser fragments can be synthesized into a first-level water dispenser, which can provide 100 ml of water per day.
One hundred milliliters of water may not be a lot, but it means a constant supply of water!
She immediately put everything into her backpack and started looking for the next treasure chest.
"Huahua, just place the leaf on my hand. If there is energy in my body, you can absorb it directly, but you have to leave a little bit for me."
The energy in Long Yuanyuan's body can recover on its own, but if the supernatural power is exhausted, she will be exhausted, which is not conducive to finding the treasure chest, so she specifically reminded her.
