Chapter 422: Familiarity
Hundreds of mutated plants!
This news was truly shocking to everyone. It’s important to note that mutated plants can be very useful.
Whether taken as medicine or turned into weapons and armor, they are top-notch material.
Most importantly, if seeds are discovered, they are urgently needed for evolvers in the plant department. Furthermore, if there are enough plant seeds, although they can’t all be perfectly controlled, in the hands of plant evolvers, they can be used as powerful weapons for city defense.
Although the purpose of this competition is to compete for the quantity of beast cores, Qizilbash was also very envious of the hundred mutated plants that Su Rui mentioned earlier.
“Why are you so kind?”
Compared to the excited crowd, Hachikuju seemed much calmer. He naturally disliked Su Rui and subconsciously rejected whatever Su Rui said.
“Of course, it’s because Su Rui is not absolutely confident in swallowing such a large piece of meat, otherwise why would he be so foolish.”
City Lord Hachikuju, although we are currently in a competitive relationship, if we capture these mutated plants, it will benefit Fourth City. I, Su Rui, consider this matter lightly.”
Hachikuju fell into thought. The huge responsibility for humanity had been thrust onto him by Su Rui. If he didn’t agree, wouldn’t that mean he wasn’t taking it seriously?
Despite feeling irritated, because Su Rui held the moral high ground, and everyone else was at a disadvantage in the competition, Hachikuju didn’t react immediately.
He turned to look at Zhang Mu. This young man, Zhang Mu, remained mysterious to Hachikuju. He threw this question to Zhang Mu because he was always opposed to what Su Rui said.
He just couldn’t figure out if he was rejecting Su Rui as a person or if something was wrong with the situation.
Zhang Mu, who had been observing from the sidelines for a long time, saw Hachikuju asking him and answered with a smile.
“Since ambergris is almost no longer effective, and the mutant beasts attacking now are only a few small ones, let’s accompany Master Su Rui to take a look and see if it works. We’ll talk about it when the time comes.”
It seemed even Su Rui was surprised by how quickly Zhang Mu agreed, and he was stunned for a moment.
“Why, Master Su Rui, feeling very surprised?”
Zhang Mu smiled at Su Rui, pretending to casually ask, “Why, Master Su Rui, feeling very surprised?”
Su Rui quickly regained his composure, calmly replied, “Zhang Mu, you agreed so decisively, I really didn’t react at once. Well then, City Lord Hachikuju, what do you say, shall we go?”
He smiled and continued, “City Lord Hachikuju, you have gained a lot here, but Elder Huang and I haven’t got anything yet. If we delay any longer, I’ll definitely lose. I don’t think City Lord Hachikuju wants that, right?”
Hachikuju was not caught off guard by his words, but it was Su Rui that made him feel that there was always a conspiracy, so he remained cautious at all times.
At this moment, Zhang Mu gave him a signal with his eyes, so Hachikuju took the lead and mounted the horse of Red Blood, and said to Su Rui and the others, “Let’s go, to prevent someone from contributing too much, I, Hachikuju, will not win honorably.”
Even though they followed the same route, there was a clear distinction between the two teams.
Su Rui and the others led the way, while Hachikuju and Zhang Mu whispered to each other as they walked alongside.
“Hey Zhang Mu, why did you agree so quickly? What if he has a secret plan?”
Zhang Mu looked helpless, yawned, and said, “What else can we do? There are no rabbits around here now. Should we just sit by the wooden stakes and do nothing?”
Since that’s the case, why don’t we go with Su Rui to check it out? Although I also feel something’s not right, but what I’m more curious about is why there are hardly any mutant creatures within a two hundred kilometer radius, as Su Rui mentioned.
I have a feeling that it may have something to do with the mutant plants he mentioned.”
Hachikuju thought about it and nodded, saying, “That makes sense. Normally, the boundaries between the conquered city and the wilderness are clearly defined, so the groups of mutant creatures should be living in the wilderness.”
Because Su Rui mentioned that he didn’t sense any mutant creatures when he was here before, everyone gradually increased their speed and reached the eighty kilometer journey quickly.
“We’re almost there.”
Su Rui’s voice with a smile ahead of the group caught everyone’s attention.
“Soon we will find out if Su Rui is up to something fishy.”
Hachikuju looked very excited, and if there were no mutant plants here, he would gladly beat up Su Rui.
But the next moment, Hachikuju’s eyes widened, the team stopped, and everyone remained silent for a long time.
Just like Su Rui had said, lush mutant plants were growing right in the middle of the chaotic stone forest in front of them.
As they ventured further, a unique fragrance from the mutant plants slowly drifted into their noses.
The closer they got, the more they could feel the beauty and charm of this sea of plants.
“It smells so good, there are so many.”
Yuan Rui wrinkled her nose, pointing to the huge rocks scattered in the stone formation, and joyfully exclaimed, “Uncle, look at the small flowers blooming in the crevices of these rocks, they smell so good.”
After speaking, she couldn’t help but take a sniff.
Gesar, a plant evolutionist, slowly made her way up with a jug on her back, her focus different from Yuan Rui’s as she cared about the plant sea ahead.
Actually, the consumption of the pothos was not as great as imagined. From where it had just been, returning the pothos to its infant state and loading it into the jug only used up one-third of the healing potion that Zhang Mu had given her.
In that plant sea, there might be an opportunity for her pothos to further advance.
The onlookers who had already dismounted gazed at the magnificent maze of rocks before them, overflowing with endless admiration in their eyes.
Leading their warhorses, the group slowly moved forward, inspecting this world that was completely different from the wilderness outside.
“How can a plant sea of this scale not have mutant beasts guarding it? Could it be that these plants are too powerful?”
At this moment, Hachikuju was extremely calm, ordering everyone not to get any closer. If the power of the mutated plants were to truly erupt, things wouldn’t be as beautiful as they were now.
“Let me take the lead and probe first.”
With the silent approval of Hachikuju and the others, Zhang Feng’s massive figure stood out among the group, his body fat suddenly contracting as he gathered fire energy in his throat, slowly condensing it.
The people around him left one by one, it was just too hot.
Boom!
A pillar of fire struck straight into the center of the Plant Sea, continually bombarding and splattering flames around.
Zhang Feng’s pillar of fire kept going, and at that moment, a foul smell started wafting from the Plant Sea.
“What’s wrong, Zhang Feng? Stop right now, we can’t have everything burnt to a crisp!”
No, it’s not burnt!
How could a second-rank mutant plant be burned so easily, even if they fear fire, it’s impossible.
After a while, the smell, like something being burnt, suddenly changed without a sound.
It was actually blending with the enchanting fragrance emitted by those small flowers growing in the Stone Array just now!
They are merging!
The scent after merging, like the fragrance of a herbal medicine, is a familiar smell.
Medicinal fragrance!
It’s that!
A sudden thunder in Zhang Mu’s mind!
