In the snow-covered mountains and forests, surrounded by countless trees, some of which were unusually lush and green, looking particularly eerie.
Lin Ruo explored the mountain forest back and forth, scanning the ground with his mental energy, but found nothing after two hours.
However, the mask she was wearing had been dampened by her breath, which then froze and became icy cold against her face.
"Swish..."
Lin Ruo became alert when suddenly a tree branch several meters long rushed towards her. Lin Ruo turned to the side, twisted her waist, and spun around to dodge the branch.
But then three branches reached out to grab her at once. Lin Ruo narrowed her eyes and looked at the huge willow tree in the middle. This tree had been alive for decades. Its trunk was so thick that one person couldn't wrap their arms around it. It was over ten meters tall and had the appearance of a towering tree.
However, the fact that this tree was able to complete its mutation so quickly, while Afu and Ashou hadn't even finished yet, suggests that this tree's potential is even higher than Afu and Ashou's!
She didn't dodge this time either. She dodged these three willow branches, but there were five more, seven more... it was endless. The best way to deal with it was to attack.
She quickly grabbed the willow branch with one hand and felt the sharp thorns on the edge. She quickly applied a thin layer of ice to her hand, successfully preventing the thorns from piercing her skin. Then, blue light flashed on her hand, and branches and leaves on the willow tree quickly began to wither and fall off.
In her other hand, a ball of green sap quickly condensed. The sap flowed rapidly, and with each flow, the volume of the sap increased. This was the essence of the mutated willow tree.
Ordinary water-based ability users can only attack these mutated plants by chopping or using water explosions. Lin Ruolai's method for dealing with these mutated plants is simple and brutal. No matter how powerful they are, once their water is drained, they become withered branches with no life left.
The mutated willow tree was withering rapidly, and the willow branches that Lin Ruo was holding tightly in her hand were also shrinking back. Unfortunately, Lin Ruo's grip was extremely strong, and the willow tree had no choice but to cut off the three branches on its own to survive.
Lin Ruo watched as the willow tree in front of her rapidly shrank, soon shrinking to the size of her forearm, and quickly burrowed into the soil, seemingly trying to escape.
She raised an eyebrow slightly, not expecting the tree to have evolved such an ability. Did that mean she could take it with her? If she planted it in front of her house, wouldn't that provide an extra layer of security?
A flash of blue light appeared in Lin Ruo's eyes. She stomped her foot lightly on the ground, and with her foot as the center, the extreme low temperature spread rapidly, and the surrounding soil quickly froze.
The already frozen ground was now even more solid, and the ice quickly froze the ground around the willow tree, but it did not damage the willow tree. Instead, it froze it directly in the ground, making it unable to move.
Lin Ruo slowly walked to the location of the willow tree, squatted down, placed her hand on the ground, and lifted it up, holding a 50-centimeter square block of ice in her hand.
The willow tree was among them. It had already lost a lot of its essence and sap, and now it was half-dead from the extreme low temperature around it. When it saw Lin Ruo, it no longer had any thought of resisting and the whole tree withered.
Lin Ruo chuckled and touched the ice with her finger. The ice began to melt, revealing the willow branches, which were originally emerald green but had now turned a dark yellow.
"Do you still want to eat me?"
Upon hearing this, the willow tree's branches instantly straightened! It had just woken up and was looking for something to fill its belly when, of all times, it bumped into this person. What was the point of eating now? It was lucky if it didn't get eaten!
"Will you still eat me?" Lin Ruo asked gently, her eyes sparkling. Although her face was hidden behind the mask, she looked completely harmless at that moment.
The willow branches trembled; the mother tree was above! This woman is terrifying!
They just dealt with it using such terrifying methods, and now they're threatening people with such a gentle tone!
Waaaaah~ It regrets it! It shouldn't have been so picky about food!
Its branches immediately shook like rattles, decisively expressing its thoughts: it had just mutated and hadn't lived enough yet, so it didn't want to die.
Lin Ruo's smile vanished, replaced by a chilling glint in her eyes. She touched the half-melted ice with her fingertips, and the ice in her hand melted rapidly, quickly forming an ice flowerpot in which the willow tree was planted.
Even after being given freedom, the willow tree dared not move, obediently remaining in the "flowerpot," its branches even nuzzling Lin Ruo's fingers affectionately.
Lin Ruo placed her fingers on the willow branch, and a tiny stream of water flowed down her fingers; this was water she had drawn from the lake in her spatial dimension.
The willow tree also sensed that this water was unusual. After quickly absorbing it, its withered branches and leaves regained their green color, which was particularly eye-catching in the icy and snowy landscape.
"Will you come with me?" Lin Ruo gently stroked the willow branch with her fingers.
The willow twigs were wrapped around Lin Ruo's fingers. If it had to compromise earlier because of Lin Ruo's formidable fighting power, after drinking the lake water, it really didn't want to leave!
This water is incredibly beneficial for the mutated plant! It loves it!
Lin Ruo looked at the willow branches entwined between her fingers and smiled. "Give a stick and then a sweet date" is a really effective method.
She cradled the willow tree in her hands and ran through the woods, quickly making her way to her shelter.
She didn't put the willow tree into her spatial dimension. She had just tamed the willow tree and didn't trust it yet. Although she could let it know that the spatial dimension existed, she couldn't put it in. If it entered the spatial dimension and went on a killing spree of the animals in the spatial dimension, her house would be destroyed.
Half an hour later, Lin Ruo returned to her shelter, dug a hole near the exit with an ice shovel, and planted the willow tree she was holding in the hole.
"From now on, this will be your home. If you are loyal to me, I will naturally treat you well in return."
