Lin Ruo seemed to be able to sense their feelings, and smiled slightly, "The reason I didn't let you kill those mutated beasts yesterday is because my large-scale freezing attack would hurt you."
"The mutated sea monsters that attacked the fortress were killed by you guys, so you played a very important role. You're usually the ones guarding our house too. If it weren't for A-Liu's reminder today, I wouldn't have noticed any mutated monsters coming ashore. So you guys were all great."
Hearing Lin Ruo say this, the three of them felt a little better, and at the same time, they became more determined to improve their strength quickly so that their master could rest while they went to kill those mutated beasts.
Seeing that the three of them had started eating, Lin Ruo walked into the mutated forest. The forest was now clean, and the corpses of the mutated beasts had been completely absorbed.
This time, Lin Ruo harvested a lot of crystal cores and a lot of flesh and blood. The corpses of the level 1 mutated sea beasts in the static space had already piled up into a large mountain. She threw some of the mutated beasts that had no level before, as well as some level 1 mutated beasts, into the mutated forest.
Sea beasts like today will continue to come ashore, the area of this mutated forest will continue to expand, and the strength of these mutated plants will continue to improve so that they can stop the mutated beasts attacking the fortress when she is not around. Although A-Liu is powerful, she only has one tree, and she cannot deal with a horde of beasts like today.
The carcasses of mutated animals filled the entire mutated forest, while the mutated plants rejoiced, their branches and leaves swaying wildly. Living here was wonderful; they were not in danger even after encountering such a horde of beasts, and there was so much flesh and blood to absorb!
They were initially afraid when they sensed so many mutated beasts coming ashore. Although these mutated beasts were their food, when there was too much food, it was very likely that their positions would be reversed.
Unexpectedly, this woman killed so many mutated beasts all by herself. The last bit of resistance hidden deep in their hearts finally dissipated completely. This woman is so powerful, killing them is no different from cutting vegetables.
This is good too. At least they can be protected by this woman, and they can eat flesh and blood every day to continuously increase their strength. All they have to do is obey orders and guard the gate, which they can do!
After throwing a lot of flesh and blood at them, Lin Ruo returned to the fortress and cooked herself a meal. Just as she finished eating and returned to her bedroom to prepare for bed, she heard A Liu knocking on her window. She went over and opened the curtains, and suddenly a bright red fruit appeared outside the window.
She looked up in surprise, and saw that the willow branch was supporting the fruit, swaying gently, telling her that the fruit was ripe.
"The fruit is ripe?!" Lin Ruo opened the window in surprise and took the fruit in her hand. "Was it ripened by too much energy from that level 3 beast meat?"
Ah Liu nodded slightly, then thoughtfully closed the window for Lin Ruo. The willow branch stood guard outside, the entire large willow tree tightly enveloping the fortress, in a protective posture.
The mutated plants on the periphery, having finished devouring the flesh and blood, were puzzled by A-Liu's cautious protection of the fortress. However, under A-Liu's influence, they all became vigilant as well.
Hearing the commotion, Afu and Ashou also woke up and came to the door of Lin Ruo's room. When they saw the fruit in her hand, they understood what was going on. They squatted down to guard Lin Ruo's door and the main entrance of the living room, respectively.
In other words, from the moment Lin Ruo obtained the fruit, the entire area within several hundred meters of the fortress went on alert, and not even a single mutated beast could get in.
Lin Ruo was about to sit cross-legged on the bed in the bedroom when she remembered that absorbing the fruit last time had caused her spatial ability to upgrade. Her water-based ability was already on the verge of upgrading, and if it was also guided to upgrade this time, her bed might be soiled by those black impurities from last time.
She chose to sit on the ground, then looked at the red fruit held in her hand, remembering the excruciating pain from last time. She took a deep breath, steeled herself, and ate the fruit.
The fruit tasted sweet upon entering the mouth, and upon contact with saliva, it immediately turned into juice that flowed into Lin Ruo's throat.
Then Lin Ruo's mental energy spread outwards wildly again, this time expanding to a maximum of seven thousand meters. The mental energy in her mind surged and boiled over. Everything within this range was presented in her mind with unparalleled clarity. At the same time, her mental energy was being consumed at an alarming rate.
When Lin Ruo felt her mental energy was completely depleted and she was exhausted, the familiar pain struck again. She suddenly felt that everything around her had disappeared, even the light had vanished, and it seemed that she was the only one left in the world. The intense pain made her head feel like it was about to split open.
She clenched her fists instantly, the veins on them bulging, her knuckles cracking as she gripped them. At the same time, her face turned deathly pale, her whole body began to tremble, and cold sweat beaded on her forehead.
Seeing Lin Ruo in such pain, Afu, who was guarding the door, was filled with concern. It nervously licked its big nose repeatedly, but dared not make the slightest sound, for fear of disturbing Lin Ruo.
Lin Ruo was completely immersed in the pain. Upon closer examination, she realized that the pain this time was similar to the previous one. Perhaps with each level of mental strength that was increased, the pain she endured after overexertion would become even more intense.
Time passed slowly, but the pain continued, seemingly testing the limits of her mental collapse.
When the warm current arrived, Lin Ruo felt relieved. She had finally made it through, feeling as if she had been sitting in endless darkness for millions of years.
A warm current enveloped her, her mental strength rapidly increased, and she felt incredibly comfortable all over, as if every pore on her body had opened up.
When the warm current disappeared, Lin Ruo did not receive an upgrade in her water-based ability. She felt a little disappointed. As expected, it was still very difficult to go from level 6 to level 7.
She slowly opened her eyes, the blinding sunlight shining on her face. It turned out she hadn't drawn the curtains. She reached out to block the sunlight, stood up, stretched, her bones cracking, followed by a feeling of refreshing blood circulation.
She walked to the window, drew the curtains, and then extended her mental energy to see that all the mutated plant branches outside were taut and in a state of combat.
Lin Ruo sensed it and thought there was some danger outside, so she continued to project her mental energy outwards, but she didn't see a single mutated beast.
She then noticed the condition of Afu, Ashou, and Aliu. Her lips curled up slightly, and she realized that her flesh and blood had not been wasted.
She then opened the window again. "Ah Liu, I'm all better now."
