Lin Ruo smiled slightly, "Found it!"
She expanded her spatial domain, disappearing from her original spot. In less than a minute, she appeared in front of the mutated cypress tree. The cypress tree thought that another prey had come knocking, and its underground roots quickly stretched out towards Lin Ruo.
With a thought, Lin Ruo activated his spatial domain. Before the cypress tree's roots even reached him, the entire tree had vanished. Lin Ruo placed the cypress tree in a rectangular container he had prepared in his space, sealed it, and used ice to completely enclose the container before moving on to the next one.
Lin Ruo searched for several hours, scouring the entire mountain forest and digging up more than a dozen mutated trees with excellent qualities before returning to the fortress.
Upon reaching the outer edge of the firebreak, Lin Ruo manipulated his spatial domain to dig one large pit after another, each several hundred meters different from the previous ones. He quickly dug a circle around the firebreak, then took out all the mutated trees he had just dug from his spatial domain and placed them in these pits, waiting to be buried.
When these mutated trees were first taken out of the space, they were confused and thought they were going to die when they were uprooted. It turned out they were just moved to a different place.
Some mutated trees, however, refused to believe it. They had finally gained sentience; why should they listen to this human? She could plant them wherever she wanted?! They'd rather be eaten!
Lin Ruo was manipulating an ice shovel to bury a mutated tree. She dodged the attack from the mutated tree by shifting her body to the side. Then she grabbed the main root that had attacked her and activated her water-based power. The tree's branches and leaves instantly turned yellow and fell off.
Seeing this, the other mutated trees that had just been planning a sneak attack immediately retracted their branches and pretended to be dead. Only when the mutated tree that had been drained of its essence was on the verge of death did Lin Ruo release her.
Lin Ruo smiled and stored the extracted essence into her spatial storage, her eyes scanning the mutated trees. "Who else wants to contribute some essence? I thank you on behalf of my Ah Liu."
"...Who wants to contribute to that mutated tree that was almost whipped to death just now!"
Suddenly, Ah Liu's willow branch stretched out in front of these mutated trees, telling them that it could take the essence whenever it wanted—a blatant threat!
But the oppressive feeling brought by A Liu's countless thick willow branches and its height of tens of meters made these mutated trees' little thoughts disappear instantly. They had just awakened and did not want to be eaten.
Lin Ruo also saw A Liu's protective gesture and smiled slightly. Seeing that no mutated trees attacked her again, she continued, "My family is small. Besides me, there are only two dogs and a big willow tree. As long as you don't touch them, you can attack any other living creature that enters your attack range."
After saying that, Lin Ruo continued to control the ice shovel to bury the soil. The spatial domain was very useful, but it consumed too much of her special ability. The ice type was more cost-effective.
After burying the soil, Lin Ruo wiped the sweat from her face. The eastern sky was already turning red, and the sun would soon rise.
She quickly spread her mental energy outwards, and after confirming that nothing was missed, she manipulated her water-based abilities. Within the area where these mutated trees were planted, rain suddenly began to fall from the originally scorching sky. The rain grew heavier and heavier, and within a few minutes, the ground was completely soaked.
These mutated trees finally encountered water, and quickly absorbed all the moisture from the ground, storing it in their trunks for slow digestion.
Along with the sawtooth amaranth that had begun to multiply rapidly under the tree, all the plants were thoroughly saturated with water.
Plants generally love water; they thrive in aquatic environments and can only grow where there is water.
Moreover, the weather is extremely hot now, and a lot of water is being lost. Although they are all short of water, their roots have greatly improved their ability to absorb and store water after mutation, which allows them to survive well in this extremely hot weather.
It's surprising that these despicable humans who transplanted them here can actually control water. So being planted here isn't so bad after all.
