Xia Lunong has not developed his supernatural powers much.

He has not been awake for a long time, and his understanding and application of supernatural powers are not profound.

He thought so now, but suddenly remembered that Yan Mingqing reminded him that his supernatural powers can cause plants to change in different directions.

In this case, if his supernatural powers can make plants better, can they also make plants worse?

Xia Lunong thought so, but he was still nervous.

He dipped his hands in the water, and he was a little undecided.

Xia Huoqu said: "Since you haven't thought it through, don't try it yet. The water is not seriously polluted. We can go back and filter it once or twice with a filter. It should be fine."

Xia Lunong looked up at his brother and said hesitantly: "I'm just worried that my ability will release toxicity when killing plants. It would be bad if it pollutes the soil and water source."

Xia Huoqu: "Then go back first and change a smaller container for you. You can experiment on a small scale and we will do it step by step."

Xia Lunong nodded and quickly withdrew his hand.

Several people carried water back to the temporary base.

Those who were cleaning nearby also cleaned up the debris and came back one after another.

Everyone was an excellent hunter. In the process of cleaning up the debris, several people harvested some prey.

Baniu was one of them.

When Ba Niu saw Xia Lunong and the others coming back, he called out from a distance, "Captain Yan, Xiao Nong, guess what I just got?"

"What?" Seeing that he looked like he was presenting a treasure, Xia Lunong looked at him curiously.

"Ting ting ting!" Ba Niu took out a mutant bird from behind him, "It's a bird I just killed. It only has some extra organisms on its feet. You can drink bird soup or roast the bird tonight."

The bird was still alive, flapping its wings in his hand.

After searching for a long time, Xia Lunong's eyes lit up when he saw the bird. "Can you not eat it? Let me do some experiments first."

"Why not?" Baniu handed the bird to him. "What experiments?"

Xia Lunong said, "See if my supernatural power will leave any toxicity when I kill plants. Wait a minute, I'll come after I feed the little prickly ash tree."

He said as he went to water the little prickly ash tree.

The roots of the little prickly ash tree had slowed down when they were deeply buried in the soil. With the nourishment of water, the whole tree regained its vitality and rubbed Xia Lunong happily with its branches.

After playing with each other for a while, Xia Lunong said, "You can rest here, I'm going to work."

The little prickly ash tree shook its crown.

Xia Lunong went back to the fire, found a white porcelain bowl, and poured half a bowl of well water into it.

The green color of the well water was very obvious under the white porcelain.

Everyone around looked at him. Xia Lunong raised his eyes, looked at his brother, and then looked at Kong Zhi, and took a deep breath, "Then I will start?"

Xia Huoqu nodded, "Let's start. At worst, we will burn the water and the remaining materials later. The possibility of accidents is very small."

Xia Lunong took a deep breath and gently placed his fingers in the water.

With his current ability, he can also use his supernatural power on plants without direct contact. He just doesn't feel at ease and hopes to fully control his supernatural power.

He held his breath and used his supernatural powers.

He tried his best to mobilize the right amount of supernatural powers, hoping that these supernatural powers would clear all the plants in the water.

The moment he used it, something in his body squeezed out and fell into the white porcelain bowl. It was as if something was reacting chemically with the plants in the bowl.

The whole bowl of light green water rolled over, and the "suspension" mixed with plants immediately sank.

The plants and water were directly separated!

Most of the water in the bowl was clear and transparent, and the bottom of the bowl was filled with shallow dark green sediment.

Xia Lunong opened his eyes.

The people around him cast their eyes fixed on the bowl.

"It's done?" Xia Lunong was incredulous. "It's so useful?"

"I'll get another bowl." Xia Huo said, "Pour it and see if you can pour out completely clear water."

"Oh, okay!"

Xia Lunong took the other bowl and poured the upper half of the water that had been separated into layers into the new bowl. There was only plant residue in the old bowl.

The two things were separated perfectly.

The water in the new bowl was clear and transparent, and it looked completely the same as normal drinking water.

Xia Lunong brought it under her nose and sniffed it gently.

There was no smell in it, it smelled like pure water.

Xia Lunong passed the bowl to his brother, "Brother, you guys smell it."

Xia Huoqu took the bowl, sniffed it, and said, "It feels like pure water."

He passed the bowl to Yan Xinian, who sniffed it and said, "I don't smell any chemical substances."

The bowl of water circulated among the crowd.

Everyone had various animal shapes, some had a keen sense of smell, and some had a dull sense of smell.

Since no one smelled anything, it meant that there was really nothing special in the water.

Kong Zhi handed the water back to Xia Lunong. "It smells just like ordinary pure water."

Xia Lunong nodded. "I feel the same way. Did my ability really remove the plants in the water?"

"It looks like it now." Yan Xinian said, "First check if this bowl of water is poisonous."

There was a live bird nearby, and several people poured water directly into the bird's mouth.

The bird drank less water, so the people didn't pour too much water, only two sips.

After the bird finished drinking, Xia Lunong stuffed a piece of dried tomato into the bird's mouth.

Everyone turned their eyes to him. Yan Xinian asked, "Why feed dried tomatoes to birds?"

Xia Lunong looked at the bird and said, "Birds don't have the ability to store feces. When it excretes the dried tomatoes, it means that the water it was fed has been digested. If it is not dead, it is not poisonous."

Everyone finally realized.

Xia Lunong scooped water from the bucket to wash his hands and said, "Then let's have dinner first and come back to see after dinner?"

Yan Xinian raised his chin and said, "The water we got today is of poor quality. We have to wait until it is filtered, disinfected with disinfectant tablets, and boiled before we can use it. Let's postpone dinner. Let's have a meeting first to exchange the information we collected today."

No one had any objections, so they sat by the fire and talked about what they had discovered one by one.

The place they walked through today was a completely unfamiliar area. While exchanging information, they had to draw a new map and summarize the nearby products.

Xia Lunong looked outside all day today. All he could see was that this area was once a human gathering area, but now it was completely occupied by plants.

Among these plants, deciduous broad-leaved forests accounted for a large proportion, which means that winter should not be particularly warm, and they must pay attention to collecting cold-proof supplies.

That's all he could see, and his companions were much more powerful.

This one can tell what kind of prey is nearby, and that one can find out what kind of minerals are here.

Everyone talked one by one, and soon they pieced together the general situation of this area, and also found the best route and determined the itinerary for tomorrow.

When they finished the meeting, the bird had already pulled out the remains of the dried tomatoes, and Xia Lunong found tomato seeds on the ground.

The bird rolled its black bean-like eyes and moved its neck nimbly, looking at this and that, very energetic, without any signs of poisoning.

Xia Lunong observed it for a while and said to his brother, "It doesn't seem to be poisonous. Let's boil it. Who wants to drink some to try?"

Yan Xinian also took a look and said, "Okay, since we have Doctor Ou here, it shouldn't be a big deal."

He just poured half a bowl of water into the soup pot and boiled it in a few seconds.

For safety reasons, Xia Lunong boiled it for a little longer.

Yan Xinian had to remind him, "Okay, stop boiling it. If you boil it any more, it will all turn into steam and run away."

"Uh, okay." Xia Lunong took another clean white porcelain bowl and poured out the boiled water. Seeing that the water was colorless and tasteless, it looked very safe, he said, "Then let me taste it first?"

Just as Xia Huoqu was about to take the water from him, Kong Zhi took the lead and took the water from him, "Let me do it."

Kong Zhi said, without waiting for anyone to react, he blew on it, raised his head and took a small sip.

The water was still hot, and Kong Zhi held it in his mouth and tasted it carefully.

Everyone looked at him nervously.

Kong Zhi held it in his mouth for a moment, swallowed it, and concluded, "It's just ordinary water. Apart from the special sweet aftertaste of mineral water, there is no other taste."

Yan Xinian asked, "Do you feel uncomfortable?"

"No, it's fine." Kong Zhi said, "I knew there was no problem with this water as soon as I drank it. It tastes too pure, it will be fine."

Humans have a very keen sense of taste. After being transformed into beasts, the beastmen's five senses have been further improved. Whether the water is pure or not, they can basically tell it by tasting it.

In this world, toxic substances are first substances. Substances always have a little smell or texture. He couldn't taste anything, so he was basically sure that the water in the bowl was clean water.

Xia Lunong nervously observed his expression, "Let's observe first. Doctor Ou, come and see if there is anything wrong with Kong Zhi?"

Doctor Ou stepped out of the crowd, "Okay, I'll take a look. Xiao Nong, don't be nervous. In addition to smell and taste, beastmen also have strong intuition. Everyone has been standing by for so long and no one thinks there is anything wrong with your water. It is probably fine."

Xia Lunong nodded.

Doctor Ou carefully checked and said, "Kong Zhi's physical condition is very stable. I feel there is nothing wrong."

Everyone was relieved.

Yan Xinian asked, "Xiao Nong, do you still have superpowers? If you do, there is so much water here, let's try it out."

Xia Lunong nodded.

He had a good rest today and felt that his superpowers were quite abundant. He had just used a small amount of superpowers for Xia Huajiao and the water in the bowl, so he could continue to use it.

Yan Xinian took a look and brought over half a bucket of water next to him, "Let's not bother changing tools. Xiao Nong, just output your superpowers into the bucket and practice."

Xia Lunong nodded.

Just now, there was only a little water in the bowl, so he output less superpowers. Now there is more water in the bucket, so he needs to output more superpowers appropriately.

This kind of output is just like adding salt to cooking. The amount is very subtle, and only he can control how much to put.

Xia Lunong experimented twice and cleared all the plants in the water.

These plant remains sank to the bottom of the bucket. Be careful when pouring water. As long as you don't pour out the plant remains, the water that comes out will be colorless and odorless dry water.

Xia Lunong poured out the water carefully, and boiled another small pot. Under the care of Dr. Ou, he tasted a little himself.

Just as Kong Zhi said, this water is colorless and odorless, and there is nothing strange about drinking it.

It was just his first experiment, so he didn't dare to drink too much.

The water was fine, and Xia Lunong looked at the plant residues again.

Every time he released his superpowers, he felt that it was just enough, so there shouldn't be any extra superpower material residues.

In other words, the residue shouldn't cause any harm to other plants.

But this matter still needs to be experimented again.

Xia Lunong picked up the plant residues she had collected and dumped them out at a place about 50 to 60 meters away from the summer pepper, and then carefully observed the condition of the weeds underneath.

The weeds had grown for more than half a year, and their leaves were already withered and yellow. After coming into contact with the residues, the grass seemed to be corroded, and the leaves immediately turned yellow and curled, but the grass core remained green.

Xia Huoqu took a look and said, "Wild grass is tougher than the green algae in the water. It's no big deal."

Xia Lunong observed for a while and said, "It may also be that when my superpower is used, it is mainly aimed at the algae in the water, so the reaction of the algae is particularly violent."

"It's possible. We will know the specific situation through gradual exploration."

Xia Lunong nodded, "Brother, I have some inspiration. Let's go talk to Doctor Ou first."

"What to talk about?"

"Talk about the direction of the superpower's transformation."

Xia Lunong left a sentence and ran to the female team members to find Doctor Ou.

The female team members treated him as a junior and made way for him.

Doctor Ou stood up, "What's the matter?" "

I came here to ask a question." Xia Lunong asked, "Doctor Ou, can your healing superpower be transformed into a poisoning superpower?"

"No." Doctor Ou gave a negative answer at the first time. She looked at Xia Lunong's surprised expression and said, "My superpowers awakened very early, and I have been experimenting for the past two years. The conclusion is no."

Doctor Ou said, "I have heard the theory of the group of people in the White Building that superpowers will be affected by the owner. It is very difficult to put it into practice. My superpowers are very stable. Apart from treatment, they have no other effect. There is no way to turn medicine into poison."

Xia Lunong's enthusiasm was extinguished, "I thought you could."

"No." Doctor Ou said, "I have come into contact with so many people with superpowers, and your superpowers are very special and very deviated from the norm. The experience of a conventional person like me does not have much reference value to you."

Xia Lunong thanked Doctor Ou and went back to his brother.

After listening to his conversation with Doctor Ou, his brother said, "Yan Mingqing and his group are not that reliable. You don't have to listen to him in everything."

Xia Lunong nodded, "I'll experiment a little more. I always feel that my ability will be more useful."

Yan Xinian asked, "What aspect do you mean by more useful? Offensive aspect?"

"Maybe?" Xia Lunong himself was not sure.

Kong Zhi said, "It's very useful if it can be used in all aspects. The ability to purify water alone is a very useful ability."

"This doesn't count." Xia Lunong was embarrassed by his praise, "In fact, in the final analysis, it's not very useful. We have been trying it over and over again for a long time."

"No, it's very useful." Yan Xinian interrupted his self-deprecation, "In the wild, being able to purify water is even more useful than being able to find food. When you become proficient in it, it will be of great help to the team."

Xia Huoqu also said, "It is much more difficult to obtain safe water sources outside than to obtain safe food. This skill is indeed very useful."

Xia Lunong was so proud of their praise that "Then I will try it and strive to master this trick as soon as possible!"

Xia Huoqu said, "You will definitely have no problem."

While the few people were chatting, Xia Lunong used his supernatural power to separate the water and algae in the bucket, and made clean water for everyone to boil.

Xia Lunong's efficiency is very high.

Compared with him, the water filter next to him worked for several hours and only made a small basin of water, which was not enough for everyone to drink.

Xia Lunong took the bucket back, thinking about how to deal with the river and well water outside in the future.

After putting the bucket away, he sat by the fire, looking at the food bubbling in the pot, and suddenly something flashed through his mind, "Wait, brother, are we in a misconception?"

"Huh?"

"Our goal is to obtain clean water, not to treat water!" Xia Lunong felt something flash through his mind, "Since it is to obtain clean water, then why not work in this direction?"

Baniu and others were all sitting around the fire, drowsy.

Hearing this, Baniu raised his head subconsciously, "Is there any difference between the two?"

The others also looked at Xia Lunong.

Kong Zhi took over the conversation, "There is a huge difference."

Without waiting for anyone to ask, he looked at Xia Lunong and continued, "Some plants can produce water naturally, there is no need to go through an extra step."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Xia Lunong saw that he had followed her train of thought and wanted to shake hands with him, "If the goal is to obtain clean water, then I don't need to study plants that clean water, can I just directly promote the growth of plants that can produce water?"
