Chapter 40 Offensive Plants
The plant in front of Jiang Ning began to grow wildly. After a while, a creeping herb with a height of about 1.5 meters and rough stems and leaves appeared in front of the two.
The stems and leaves were densely covered with short white hairs, and the edges of the leaves were obviously jagged or wavy. A pale green long oval fruit hung on the thick stalk.
The surface of the fruit was also rough, and there was a layer of light yellow long hairs covering the outside.
"What is this?" Without waiting for Jiang Ning to answer, Chang Ming approached curiously.
As he said that, he was about to raise his hand to poke the swollen green melon.
Jiang Ning shouted, "Don't touch it!"
She wanted to stop him, but it was too late.
Changming's fingers had already touched the surface of the green melon.
The next second,
the melon fell off the stem, the flesh began to shrink rapidly, and the seeds and juice spurted out from the hole formed by the detachment from the base.
The fruit flew towards Changming's abdomen under the reaction.
Its power was so great that Changming, who had not made any preparations at all, was knocked several meters away and fell heavily to the ground far away.
"Are you... okay?" Jiang Ning walked over and lifted Changming up from the ground.
Changming covered the part of his abdomen that was hit and rubbed it for a long time before he recovered, but the burning sensation still lingered.
He met Jiang Ning's concerned eyes and smiled soothingly: "Fortunately, I have been strengthening my physical fitness, otherwise I really couldn't survive this attack."
"What kind of plant is this?" Chang Ming walked back slowly and asked curiously.
He thought that the plants Jiang Ning summoned were like sunflowers that could improve mental strength or were non-aggressive plants.
Jiang Ning looked at Chang Ming's face and saw that he didn't look like he was in any serious trouble, so he was relieved and said: "This is a squirting melon."
"What does it do?" Chang Ming asked puzzled.
Jiang Ning: "Probably... a slight touch will emit fruits and automatically attack people around."
"Aggressive plant?" Chang Ming said in surprise.
"If you are okay, I need to continue the experiment." Jiang Ning said.
She wanted to know whether the spray melon would attack everyone indiscriminately and would automatically lock onto the target.
"Come on, I'm fully prepared this time." Chang Ming looked determined.
It was really embarrassing just now that he, an A-level psychic, was actually knocked away by a plant.
The root of the spray melon is very long, and a plant can produce more than a dozen fruits, enough for the two of them to conduct more than a dozen rounds of experiments.
Jiang Ning said to Chang Ming: "Don't touch it directly later. Try to use your superpowers or try it remotely."
"Understood." Chang Ming nodded.
His superpowers are also in the language spirit system, but if he just touches the object, the basic attacking techniques are completely sufficient.
Chang Ming released his perception.
Jiang Ning felt a slight wave around him heading towards a spraying melon.
Within two seconds, the second pale green spraying melon sprayed out from the fruit stem.
The spraying melons seemed to be in random directions, but in fact they were heading towards Changming again.
Seeing that it was almost in front of him, Changming tensed his body and used his senses to erect a defensive barrier around him.
In the end, he still couldn't withstand the power of the spraying melon.
He was pushed back by a huge force and slid one or two meters before stopping.
Changming's forehead was covered with a layer of fine sweat beads, and his breathing was a little rapid.
He stared at the spraying melon plant in a daze. He
didn't expect this little thing to be so powerful.
While the melon was flying, Jiang Ning was observing its movements. She thought for a moment and said, "Try another position."
Then, Chang Ming changed several positions, even less than half a meter away from Jiang Ning.
But the melon always flew accurately to Chang Ming.
Jiang Ning was basically sure that the melon would automatically lock on to the enemy, and now she was going to make one last try.
Chang Ming didn't know whether he was tired or in pain, but his clothes were soaked with sweat. When he was about to try again in the next direction, he was stopped by Jiang Ning.
"It's my turn this time."
Jiang Ning stepped forward, and the tip of her index finger touched the surface of the last melon.
As the fruit and the stalk separated, the melon rushed towards her face at an incredibly fast speed.
Looking at the extremely oppressive Pengua, Jiang Ning swallowed her saliva, quickly mobilized the mental power in her body and concentrated it on her face, trying to resist the attack of Pengua.
Sure enough, Pengua stopped only one centimeter away from her eyes.
The long fine hairs gently slid over the skin around her eyes.
Pengua fell to the ground.
Jiang Ning picked it up, looked at it, and squeezed it in her hand. Changming
walked over, with a serious look on his face that he had never had before, and said in a serious tone: "Your mental power seems to be very different."
He could feel that Jiang Ning's mental power was very large and strong.
Hearing this, Jiang Ning turned her head and looked at him.
Chang Ming said: "The person with the highest mental power known to the Federation is the young heir of the Si family. His mental power measured before the age of 10 has far exceeded the SSS-level mental power defined by the Federation. But because of this, his body cannot support this huge mental power, resulting in him having mental power but being unable to use it."
Chang Ming paused and looked at Jiang Ning in confusion: "But you are different."
Jiang Ning's body can fully support this huge mental power.
"Maybe my mental power is compressed." Jiang Ning blinked.
After contacting so many people with special abilities, Jiang Ning more or less understood some of the mental power of others.
Unlike the ethereal "feelings" of others, her mental power is quite intuitive. All of it is produced in the form of sunlight and has always been stored in her body in the form of sunlight.
One sunlight is equal to the mental power required to summon a sunflower.
The mental power required to summon the squirting melon just now is about four sunlights.
More, like the last time she was trapped in the underground oasis, she needed ten sunlights to summon peas.
Compress mental power?
This is a bit beyond Changming's cognition.
Mental power cannot be seen or touched, and only the psychic can feel its existence.
"How to compress?" Changming asked puzzled.
Jiang Ning thought for a while and said, "I can't explain it."
Her mental power has a compression function when it leaves the factory, and she really can't teach it.
Changming didn't ask any more questions, and he silently added another label to Jiang Ning in his heart.
After Jiang Ning recorded the habits of the squirting melon, the two rested for a while.
She moved out the second pot of plants.
He used his mental power again to ripen it quickly.
The second plant was a creeping vine with thick stems and leaves, obvious ridges on the vine, and heart-shaped or semi-circular bends at the base of the leaves.
The fruit has a smooth surface and is relatively large.
"Qingmen Green Jade Melon?" Chang Ming blurted out.
Jiang Ning shook his head: "No, it's a watermelon."
"Does it work like Qingmen Green Jade Melon, can it improve your mental power when eaten?" Chang Ming asked.
After all, the two look so similar.
The two picked the watermelon and looked at each other silently.
Chang Ming took out a short knife from his nano ring and cut it in the middle along the pattern of the watermelon.
Halfway through the cut, his short knife was suddenly covered with frost.
Seeing that the frost was still coming towards his hand, Chang Ming quickly released his hand holding the knife, thus avoiding the fate of being frozen.
The knife got stuck in the middle of the cut and was frozen.
The two looked through the cut and found that the flesh of the watermelon was not red, but ice blue.
Watermelon has a cooling effect, and the two felt that the temperature around them dropped by several degrees in an instant.
Chang Ming looked at her in a daze: "Is this... watermelon?"
"...No." Jiang Ning was also a little speechless. She said, "This is frozen watermelon."
The frost was still spreading outward at this time, and everything was frozen wherever it went.
Jiang Ning and Chang Ming quickly retreated to a safe distance of five or six meters.
The two waited quietly for more than ten minutes for the effect to take effect. At a distance of half a meter in front of them, the frost finally stopped spreading.
Chang Ming exhaled lightly, turned his head and smiled stiffly: "Your plants are all quite dangerous."
"That's why I asked you to help me experiment." Jiang Ning patted his shoulder.
The two of them tried several methods, and Jiang Ning finally confirmed the power of watermelon.
She opened her notebook and summarized the habits of watermelon in her notes:
[Plant name: Watermelon
Subject: Annual climbing vine
Attribute: Attack plant
Function: Watermelon fruit has a strong frost effect, which can freeze all nearby objects. The freezing effect lasts for half an hour.
Range: Within ten meters]
After recording, Jiang Ning also put a cross behind it and noted: This plant is not suitable for sale to customers.
Jiang Ning sighed, looked at the night that was approaching evening, and said, "Go on, there is one last plant for today."
She moved the last pot of seedlings over.
Under Chang Ming's gaze, the plant began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the flowerpot was an umbrella-shaped plant.
The whole plant was about half a meter tall, with broad ovate basal leaves and compound umbrella-shaped inflorescences, and the whole plant was smooth.
There were small yellow flowers on the umbrella.
Chang Ming sniffed: "Do you smell a strong fragrance?"
"It's the fragrance of dill." Jiang Ning explained.
Jiang Ning's tired mental feeling was relieved a little.
Compared with the first two pots of plants, the dill looked normal.
Jiang Ning bent down and touched the small flower.
"..."
Nothing happened.
Jiang Ning's anxious heart relaxed a little.
Nothing strange happened, and the dill didn't attack her.
Great!
Finally there was a plant that could be used.
As the dill flowers bloomed, the fragrance around became stronger and stronger.
Jiang Ning's anxious heart had not yet been completely retracted, and Changming behind her had a new situation.
"Bang——"
Changming punched the wall of the house behind.
The collision of bones and hard steel plates made a loud noise.
Seeing that he was about to continue smashing, Jiang Ning hurried forward to stop him: "What are you doing???"
Chang Ming turned his head and looked at her: "Jiang Ning, I'm so excited now, I feel that my whole body is full of strength."
Jiang Ning realized that his state was not right, and she carefully felt the changes in her body.
Her brain seemed to be in a state of excitement, but her reaction was not as obvious as Chang Ming's.
Jiang Ning stopped Chang Ming to prevent him from smashing the wall again, and looked at the pot of dill in the distance.
She understood the effect of dill.
Dill is a living stimulant, and the fragrance it exudes makes both her and Chang Ming fall into a state of excitement.
Jiang Ning released his mental power and quickly catalyzed the radish, causing it to wither as quickly as possible.
He also forced himself to go back and fetch a basin of water, splashing it on Changming.
After doing all this, Jiang Ning collapsed to the ground exhausted.
It was already midnight
when he finally came to his senses. Jiang Ning wrote down the habits of the dill and crossed them out.
The three plants tested today all have certain aggressive properties and are not suitable for sale.
