Chapter 48
◎ Mutated crops growing in the fields◎
Chapter 48
Ying Huai doesn't know whether Tiandao, who is still a cub, is old or not.
After confirming that the spiritual energy in the world had risen to a higher level again, he took advantage of the fact that the spiritual energy had not yet been completely integrated and dispersed in the air and hurried to practice.
This time, the spiritual energy boost did not result in spiritual rain like the previous spiritual energy shock, but it also brought many positive effects to the animals and plants that had awakened their spiritual intelligence or had mutated.
Those that failed to mutate also began to mutate during this period.
Not to mention other places, even the crops grown by the villagers in Daxi Village are quite particular.
Before, Ying Huai was here, and he gathered most of the spiritual energy surrounding the fields and absorbed it himself. The remaining spiritual energy could not cause them to mutate, and they continued to grow normally like the crops before.
In fact, because it grows in an environment with relatively more spiritual energy, it tastes even better.
It won’t work this time. There is too much spiritual energy this time, and Ying Huai will inevitably miss some.
But it doesn't matter. Ying Huai carefully looked at the mutated crops, although they probably don't taste good now.
But because of its existence, it occupied most of the spiritual energy of the entire field, and prevented other crops from mutating as luckily as them, which was also a good thing.
Just as Ying Huai was about to look away, he saw a crow circling in the sky. It was looking for an opportunity to land on one of the mutant crops and get some food from it.
After the crops mutate, even if they deliberately make their fruits taste terrible, the spiritual energy in them cannot be faked. Whether they taste good or not is of little use to birds whose taste buds are not sensitive.
When Ying Huai saw this crow, he thought of what Shitou had said before, about the black bird eating fruits on the fruit tree. This should be the one.
This crow should also be a little demon on the mountain that has developed intelligence, and its ability is related to searching, otherwise it would not so quickly turn its attention to the crops and plants that have just mutated.
Ying Huai took a few more glances at the clever crow dodging back and forth among the branches of the crops. Seeing that it was only interested in the spiritual food and didn't pay much attention to the villagers in the village, Ying Huai withdrew his gaze.
Ying Huai knew that many animals and plants on the mountain had mutated, and he didn't want to stop them. These were opportunities for them, and it was their luck to be able to seize them.
As long as it was not within Daxi Village and would not affect the villagers in Daxi Village, he would turn a blind eye to it.
Although people in the village still carry mobile phones, they will inevitably see mutant plants appearing in various places when surfing the Internet, and even really dangerous mutant animals and plants.
But such a thing has never happened in Daxi Village for so long, and the villagers do not have a clear understanding of what is being said on the Internet.
This also makes them look like a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger.
Early in the morning, the villagers spent a long time getting ready to go to the fields to work, but halfway through, they discovered mutant plants in their own fields.
It was an entire acre of land, and the other party just occupied the center of it, and would not let them go to work in the fields no matter what. If they tried to move forward, they would be pushed back. The other party did not hurt anyone, but just did not let them step into its territory.
Basically, this is the situation in the fields on the edge of Daxi Village. Seeing their own land being occupied by mutant plants, how can the villagers, who can only rely on the harvest from the fields for food, be happy?
They first rushed around on the path beside the field with sickles in their hands, wanting to go into the field and take a closer look at what was happening to their crops.
As a result, the mutated crops were not happy at all and kept waving their long leaves to prevent anyone from entering.
If you take a step forward, it will push you back. If you accidentally use too much force, it will push a villager into the next field.
The plants that grow close to it are all on the edge of Daxi Village. It can mutate, and nothing good can grow in the fields next door.
They are all mutated crops, each with its own sense of territory and some small temper. Seeing that the plants next door are not playing by the rules and pushing the bipeds into their territory, can it show weakness?
Of course not!
Then push it back!
So, in a rare incident, the villagers who were lucky enough to have nothing growing in their fields and were able to stand aside and watch the excitement witnessed a push and pull that looked like it was between elementary school students.
Although the two mutant crops did not like humans entering their territory, they still knew that they were planted by these two-legged beasts.
So even if you push me and I push you back, the two mutant plants always maintain a limit, controlling the force so as not to hurt anyone.
The surrounding villagers just watched as the man was pushed back and forth like a ball, with no time to run. In order to avoid falling to the ground, they were forced to toss their legs and run back and forth between the two fields according to the force of both sides.
When the village chief was called over, the two plants were already addicted to the game, pushing each other back and forth, with no intention of stopping.
And as if they were dissatisfied with the villager's slow legs, they softened the leaves, wrapped him lightly, and threw him over.
The villagers didn't expect that after growing up without ever being to an amusement park, he could actually feel the charm of a roller coaster in his own fields when he was middle-aged.
Not to mention, if you don't consider that these two guys have occupied his land, flying like this is quite fun.
The village chief looked at this scene, turned his head to look at a group of children who came here to play after hearing the commotion, and suddenly he felt a black screen in front of his eyes.
"What are you playing at! Hurry up! Get down! No, I'm going to find my godmother to get you down!"
The village chief looked at the villager who was thrown out and seemed quite happy. He shouted at the top of his voice, and then seemed to think of something. He changed the subject and prepared to ask Ying Huai for help.
The two mutated crops in the field will not listen to them. Maybe the godmother has to take action to subdue them.
The villagers who heard the village chief's words...
"Village Chief, they won't let me down!"
Is this something he can decide? It all depends on what the two little plants growing in his field think.
Not only the villagers who were going to the fields today heard the noise, but also the rescue team who stayed in Daxi Village last night.
After hearing from the villagers that something was happening here, they rushed over. Now, looking at the appearance of the two mutated crops, they were a little embarrassed.
He wanted to go forward to help, but when he looked at the villagers watching the fun and being tossed around, it seemed that he was no longer angry with the villagers, as they also knew how to read people's expressions.
Obviously, these two plants are not very dangerous, and the villagers want to keep them.
Just because there is no danger now doesn't mean that they won't become aggressive in the future and attack the villagers.
"Village Chief Wu, do you need our help?"
After thinking about it, Captain Dai stepped forward and asked.
"Huh? Ooooh!"
The village chief was just about to turn around and call someone to find his godmother when he heard Captain Dai's question. He was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
"Excuse me, could you please get him down? Leave those two mutant plants alone for now. Let's see if we can find a solution."
The village chief spoke carefully and asked Captain Dai and his team for help.
Because of the existence of Ying Huai, Daxi Village knows that the world has changed and there are many dangers outside, and even the simplest plants can be fatal.
But the villagers of Daxi grew up under the Huai trees and have a natural liking for these plants. As long as they don't harm them, they don't want to harm them because of unfounded predictions.
After listening to the village chief's instructions, Captain Dai understood what he meant.
In fact, the easiest way is to save people without hurting the mutated plants.
It is much simpler than dealing with mutated plants face to face.
In a few seconds, Tang Ji dodged the pushes of the mutant crops and took advantage of the gap when the two plants were throwing people and waving their hands to bring down the villager who had been thrown to comfort himself.
When he first stood on the ground, the villager was a little unsteady, but his previous annoyance at the two mutant crops occupying his field was strangely appeased by the two mutant crops after being pushed and thrown back and forth.
After he really stood firm, he looked up at the village chief and expressed his opinion.
"Village Chief, why don't we talk to our godmother and ask them to calm down so I can at least clean up the land!"
There was no mention of wanting to clean up the two mutated crops as well.
"Go find it yourself, why are you looking for me?"
After hearing what he said, the village chief rolled his eyes at him and told him to go on his own.
Whoever has the problem should be held responsible. This is the rule in the village. No one family can be asked to provide for it.
"Hey! Okay!" The one who answered the village chief was not the villager who was thrown around by the mutated crops, but the people whose crops in the fields next to him were also mutated and who could not enter the fields.
They were lucky and were not abandoned by the mutant dealer, but it was still hard to watch their own land being unable to be cultivated.
So Ying Huai, who had just finished practicing in the dim morning light, was greeted by a group of people who came to complain to him.
They were quite polite. Not only did they complain to him, they also knew to burn incense and place delicious food under his tree as they did before.
Although Ying Huai cannot be eaten, it makes me happy just by looking at it.
But Ying Huai was a little hurt by the way they complained.
After confirming that it was the mutated crops that were causing the trouble, he directly used his spiritual power to crush them and subdued them.
Among so many mutated crops, only one developed intelligence. The moment Ying Huai released his spiritual power towards it, it showed a sense of obedience to him.
As for the others, they were subdued by Ying Huai and would not cause any trouble to the owner of the field anymore.
As for everyone other than the owners of the crops, no one knows what tricks they will play.
The world has changed suddenly, and the probability of mutant plants appearing on the mountain is high. In addition, the mayor himself knows about Ying Huai's existence, so when the village chief asked the villagers to come to Ying Huai to complain, he didn't think of asking them to avoid people.
Besides, those are people with special abilities. They are just ordinary people who have not awakened any abilities. They cannot really make others fail to notice any abnormalities.
Instead of hiding it, it is better to be direct and open.
Therefore, the mayor, who had just washed up and went out, saw a special complaint ceremony.
The villagers went to the fields too early in the morning, so he couldn't catch up to watch the fun. However, the people in Captain Dai's team would get up early every day to exercise, so not only did they catch up, but they also managed to rescue someone.
I saw a villager in front of me go up and hug the locust tree, crying and acting like a spoiled child, and then another one took over. If a child did such a thing, it could barely be attributed to the child being naughty.
But for adults or older people, doing this will hurt their eyes.
At a certain moment, the mayor thought of a direction.
Perhaps the reason why the godmothers in Daxi Village are so effective is not only because they are aware and capable, but also because the way these villagers file complaints is so shocking.
If you don’t want the villagers to come to the tree and cry every day, you have to help!
To some extent, the mayor's ideas were strangely similar to Ying Huai's.
[At such an old age, he is still so shameless...]
After Ying Huai subdued the mutant crops, he threw this information into the minds of the villagers.
The villagers who read this sentence in their minds blushed a little, but held their heads high. They just asked for help once, and the godmother helped them!
Seeing several villagers who came to see Ying Huai leaving with their heads held high and happy faces, the village chief understood that it was probably his godmother who helped them resolve the issue.
The mayor and others were a little confused. They had acted like they would not give up until they got the ability, so why did they leave now?
"Village Chief, have you finished your prayers?"
The mayor took a step forward, stood next to the village chief, and asked.
"Yeah, it's okay."
The village chief nodded. Although he didn't have the information given by his godmother in his mind, he could guess it just by guessing.
The mayor and others beside him might have guessed it, but they did not expect that this locust tree godmother could complete the instructions of those people in such a short time, and even without any movement on the surface.
After the village chief finished answering, he followed behind those people, ready to see what was going on. Before leaving, he specially said goodbye to Ying Huai, and now he was not hiding anything at all.
"Captain, I just sensed a strong energy emanating from this tree. It must be using its power. It's very strong, and we can't handle it."
While watching the results behind the village chief, Luo Sui approached Captain Dai and whispered what he had sensed.
At this time, they were completely certain that it was the locust tree that had suppressed the mutated animals and plants at the foot of the mountain!
With this thought in mind, their eyes sparkled when they turned around and looked towards Ying Huai.
If that tiny leaf could do it before, then could they also suppress the mutated plants and animals and complete the mission later if they bring leaves with them?
If Ying Huai could hear their thoughts, he would probably refute them directly.
Although he has the spiritual power to suppress mutated plants, it is only limited to plants. It cannot be used on animals. He needs Xiao Ling'er's ability.
Moreover, before the third increase in spiritual energy content, it was still difficult for him to suppress it directly. The spiritual energy content was not enough, and the spiritual power he stored was not enough.
The reason he was able to act so directly today was that he took the opportunity to absorb the newly emerged spiritual energy, which gave him a little more spiritual power.
When I arrived at the field area on the edge of Daxi Village again, I saw those villagers walking towards the fields from a distance. The mutated crops did not push them out, but they were not allowed to get too close, so they picked the crops closer to them.
Seeing this, they all knew that this was the limit of the mutant crops and didn't want to go any further.
In such a strange way, they jointly maintained the harmony created by Ying Huai.
Seeing that those villagers were able to work in the fields, a slightly curious fellow villager nearby also wanted to go to their fields to take a closer look.
Although there are mutated plants in the village, those mutated plants will not allow them to get close.
Today, it was a rare opportunity for them to have their godmother help them, so of course they wanted to go up and take a look.
It’s just that the mutated crops are suppressed by Ying Huai, and they are not allowed to push out the owner of the field, but it doesn’t say that they can’t push out people who don’t belong to them.
Just like that, the fellow villager who was heading straight for someone else's field was pushed out by the leaves of the mutated crops as soon as he stepped into the field, preventing him from going in.
"It's confirmed, Godmother turned these mutant crops into crop-guarding dogs!"
The man was pushed back and staggered a few steps before he could steady himself. This was his first sentence after he stood firm.
His bright eyes attracted the attention of the villagers around him, and they all focused their attention on him.
"If we grow one in our fields, won't we have to worry about animals coming down from the mountains stealing our crops?"
Thinking about the small animals that come down from the mountains almost every year to steal crops in the fields, and how most people in the village used to work in the city and didn’t take much care of the fields, they just let them be eaten, as long as some crops were left.
But it’s not possible now. According to the current social situation, they will definitely have to rely on these crops to make a living!
"Yes, yes, why isn't it growing in our fields?"
After hearing his thoughts, some villagers around him immediately followed his lead.
"Alright, all of you, be quiet and get back to work in the fields."
Hearing that their discussion was increasingly moving towards growing mutant plants, the village chief was speechless.
If this mutant plant was so easy to grow, there wouldn't be official news on mobile phones every day saying that there are dangers here and mutant plants and animals appearing there, asking citizens to be careful not to pass by.
"Hehe, we are just thinking about it. Don't worry, Village Chief, we won't cause trouble for Godmother unless it is absolutely necessary."
After being urged by the village chief, one of the onlookers seemed to remember the purpose of their coming to the fields. He smiled awkwardly, turned around, picked up the farm tools and started working in his own fields.
Seeing that there was no danger in Daxi Village and confirming that the locust tree was there and they didn't need to go out, Captain Dai and his team prepared to set off for the upstream village on the mountain.
They got up so early, and besides exercising, the rest of the time was to prepare to go up the mountain.
Uncle Xiao watched the whole show early in the morning, and then stood behind the crowd, quietly completing the information about Ying Huai.
However, he did not get close to Ying Huai, but just watched from a distance. Ying Huai noticed him, but seeing that he was just observing him and there was nothing special, he put him aside for the time being.
As for his own uniqueness, ever since the strange changes in heaven and earth and the revival of spiritual energy, Ying Huai never thought that he would be protected by the villagers of Daxi Village in silence as before.
Because of this sudden change in the world, even he will be involved, and he may be in danger if he is not careful.
The villagers of Daxi Village are too fragile to resist, and they might even find it difficult to protect themselves, so Ying Huai chose not to hide the truth and let the village chief expose himself to the eyes of the town mayor.
Because the concentration of spiritual energy in heaven and earth increased again, some mutated plants on the way up the mountain also benefited, making it particularly difficult to go up the mountain again.
Ying Huai glanced at the mayor who had been to Daxi Village several times, and after thinking about it, he gave him a leaf just in case.
In the eyes of the mayor, when he passed by the entrance of Daxi Village, the locust tree that was radiating light all over its body picked out the most eye-catching leaf from its branches and gave it to him.
Hehe, although he is not a villager of Daxi Village, this locust tree godmother likes him!
Some are too narcissistic.
As soon as they left, they saw Tang Tang, who had been staying at home every day to save his life after being told by his parents that he had an unlucky constitution, running towards Ying Huai from a distance with joy on his face.
"Godmother, godmother!"
While howling, Tang Tang ran wildly towards Ying Huai. When she was close to Ying Huai's tree trunk, she had no intention of stopping. A spherical ripple appeared around her body, wrapping her whole body, and crashed into Ying Huai's tree trunk.
After seeing her speed, Ying Huai wanted to stop her. After all, the child was a mortal. He had been practicing with the locust tree body for a long time. Crashing into her like this was no different from committing suicide.
He was only halfway through stopping the other person when he saw ripples on the other person's body and was sure that Tang Tang's special ability must have awakened.
It should be the third spiritual energy boost last night that helped her break free from some bad luck, and combined with the leaves Ying Huai gave her before, she was able to awaken successfully.
Tang Tang bumped into the Yinghuai tree. The ripple protection ball on her body was like a very resilient balloon, which relieved the impact of her running towards her, and by the way, allowed her special ability to hug the Yinghuai tree trunk.
"I'm so awesome now! I can still do this!"
As Tang Tang spoke, he stepped back half a body length, moving a little further away from Ying Huai.
As soon as the words fell, the soft protective shield that had just surrounded Tangtang suddenly expanded, the ripples disappeared, and it turned into a smooth spherical protective shield.
Tang Tang smiled and gently bumped into Ying Huaishu's body. The ability that was soft and could hug Ying Huaishu just now was now like a glass cover. The protective cover was strong enough and did not show any signs of denting or breaking.
When it hit Ying Huai's tree, there was a brief muffled sound. If Ying Huai didn't have a layer of bark on his body, it wouldn't have been a muffled sound.
Before Ying Huai could say anything, several aunts and grandmothers from the village who had been staying under the Ying Huai tree saw this and one of them took the key from her waist.
"Tangtang, can I row for you?"
She asked, but her eyes were curiously fixed on Tangtang's protective shield.
"OK!"
Tang Tang nodded and agreed.
The other party did not hesitate and directly scratched the key on Tangtang's protective cover. In an instant, a sharp sound like metal friction came from the contact point between the key and the protective cover.
It scratched back and forth several times, making a harsh sound, but there was no damage to Tangtang's protective shield.
"Hey, this morning when I got up and washed up, I had nothing better to do and wanted to help my mom fetch some water, so I went to the well behind the yard."
There is no need for Tang Tang to explain the following words in detail. All the aunts and mothers-in-law who have seen Tang Tang's unlucky behavior can guess that it is nothing more than that he is unlucky again. The only difference is that this time he did not fall directly, but was blocked by the protective shield.
What Tangtang said next was pretty much what they thought.
"I almost fell into the well by accident. At the critical moment, this protective shield deployed by itself."
Then Tangtang was stuck at the mouth of the well, and her parents tried to dig her out for a long time but couldn't.
In the end, she found a way to make the protective shield soft and her parents successfully dug it out.
Mei Zi, who followed Tang Tang out, recalled how embarrassed she and Tang Tang were when they were digging Tang Tang out, and she felt like holding her forehead.
Fortunately, the final result was good, and her son Tang Tang was able to protect himself.
This ability is a bit like a turtle shell.
