Chapter 192

At the foot of the mountain.

Not long ago, the mountain was almost entirely covered with withered plants, but now it was lush and green.

Countless mutated plants had grown.

Each plant had its own unique characteristics.

Chen Luo wanted to catch some of these mutated plants and take them back.

That's right, catch. Some of the plants already possessed rudimentary intelligence, perhaps comparable to a level one zombie.

Although their IQ was pathetically low, it still counted as intelligence.

Chen Luo had also brought six puppies with him. Fa Wang, however, had disappeared somewhere.

Fa Wang now only came home every two or three days, searching the world for mutants.

Ordinary zombies no longer provided Fa Wang with any training value. Fa Wang wanted to advance to the King level and teach Hai Ji a lesson, so naturally, he wouldn't be content to lie at home and do nothing.

Chen Luo was a little worried, but he couldn't exactly tie Fa Wang up, could he?

In truth, Fa Wang's luck was also quite good; you could call him a dog blessed with good fortune.

Fa Wang's achievement as the number one lightning-type wasn't solely due to his good aptitude and talent. Without resources, even the best talent would be wasted.

Chen Luo didn't know how many crystals Fa Wang had picked up in his past life, but it probably wasn't much less than Ye Yu.

"Woof woof."

The puppies urged Chen Luo to hurry.

In the mountains, some places were difficult to traverse. The densely packed mutated plants were covered in thorns. Chen Luo simply flew, leaving the puppies to fend for themselves.

Consider it a kind of training.

A black beetle, the size of an infant's fist, was flying when it suddenly smelled a fragrance. It couldn't help but approach a lush green plant.

This plant looked somewhat like a sunflower. As soon as the beetle got close, a tongue-like branch shot out from its head with incredible speed.

The beetle didn't even have time to react before it was pulled into the plant's mouth.

Chen Luo watched this and chuckled. He had found it.

This plant fed on insects, and of course, it wouldn't pass up mosquitoes and flies either.

It could release a faint fragrance to attract its targets.

If a hundred or eighty of these were planted at the base, there would definitely be no mosquito or insect problems.

The nemesis of mosquitoes and insects.

Chen Luo stepped forward and directly uprooted it, placing it into a prepared sack.

This was considered a living thing, so it couldn't be put into his spatial storage.

Inside the sack, it actually struggled slightly.

No need to worry about it dying; it had a strong life force. Once planted in the ground at the base, it would live.

One plant, two plants, three, four plants.

Before long, Chen Luo had filled a sack.

"Woof woof."

A puppy barked. Chen Luo turned to look and saw Lao Liu, the sixth puppy, covering his head, being attacked continuously.

The attacker was a gray, two-meter-tall plant, its head constantly spitting out solid plant balls, about the size of marbles.

But the force was quite strong.

Chen Luo thought, wasn't this the plant nicknamed "Peashooter"?

It attacked targets by condensing solid plant bullets. Anyone who approached it would be attacked.

It didn't need to eat anything, only absorbing nutrients from the soil.

Lao Liu had never been subjected to such treatment.

He howled and charged forward, preparing to tear it apart.

But the Peashooter had two companions. Lao Liu was fine as long as he didn't get close, but as soon as he did, he was attacked simultaneously.

Lao Liu scurried away, holding his head.

Chen Luo approached, preparing to take them back. This thing could be improved. He'd have Meng Yin try to improve their seeds.

Chen Luo was also attacked, but their attacks could only be said to tickle him.

Chen Luo slapped one of the Peashooters, leaving it dazed.

He uprooted them as well and put them in the sack.

Continuing on, a light yellow fruit growing on a plant caught Chen Luo's attention.

The fruit was the size of a plum.

Chen Luo excitedly picked one, washed it in water, and put it in his mouth.

A sour and astringent taste spread, Chen Luo's expression changed, but his eyes revealed a nostalgic look.

The fruit was like an unripe hawthorn, too sour.

The taste was terrible.

In fact, it had no special function, but rather contained a slight toxin, but it had no effect on Chen Luo.

So why did Chen Luo eat it?

Chen Luo wasn't eating the fruit, but the sentiment.

In his previous life, there was no fruit to eat. This kind of fruit didn't have high toxicity and was relatively common, so it was considered a rare fruit.

Chen Luo, who had no fruit to eat, often ate it.

It had been too long since he had eaten this thing.

Just like certain snacks he often ate as a child. When he was young, his family was poor, and even if it wasn't delicious, he ate it as a snack. When he grew up and saw it again, he couldn't help but try it.

Seeing Chen Luo eat, the puppies couldn't help but want to eat it too. Chen Luo didn't stop them, secretly laughing, hoping the sourness would kill them.

Sure enough, the puppies, who had grown up eating good food and drinking good drinks, had never eaten such a terrible thing. They spat it out as soon as it entered their mouths.

"Damn it, you tricked me."

The puppies looked at Chen Luo with bitter faces. How could you eat such a stinky thing?

Chen Luo pulled up two plants to take back and plant. It wouldn't hurt to reminisce occasionally.

Chen Luo also wanted to find a kind of Corpse Eating Flower to eat corpses and be used as a scavenger.

Whether buried or cremated, corpses were far less convenient and environmentally friendly than these Corpse Eating Flowers.

Walking to the mountainside, a large tree, twelve or thirteen meters tall, caught Chen Luo's attention.

The tree was covered with red fruits, like apples.

This was a good thing; it was very rare.

A very rare fruit. Getting to eat one depended on luck. Chen Luo didn't expect to encounter one here.

Firstly, the taste was very good, even sweeter than an apple.

Secondly, it had a significant effect. After eating it, one would have a euphoric feeling, reducing the pain of injuries. It could be considered a painkiller.

The greatest effect was that it could accelerate the absorption of crystals. For example, if one could only absorb a level four crystal, after eating this fruit, one could absorb 1.1 or 1.2 crystals.

If there were enough crystals, this fruit could greatly speed up the rate at which one's strength increased.

Survivors had given this fruit a name, Psychedelic Fruit.

It could be considered a treasure fruit.

The vast majority of mutated plants were poisonous, and approaching them would also cause them to attack humans, but a few mutated plants were beneficial to humans.

If used well, all mutated plants could produce beneficial effects.

As soon as Chen Luo approached the tree, the tree's thick vines whipped toward Chen Luo.

Chen Luo simply ignored them and walked to the base of the tree. His expression turned serious, and with a strong effort, he directly uprooted the twelve-meter-tall tree, with a diameter of more than one meter, and held it in his arms.

Chen Luo was preparing to transplant it to the base.

"Chirp chirp."

Chen Luo uprooting the tree also overturned the surrounding soil.

Chen Luo didn't expect that there was also a rat nest nearby. Some mutated rats, more than thirty centimeters long, crawled out and charged towards Chen Luo, the culprit.

The puppies were restless and finally had a chance to show off. They stepped forward one after another, and before long, they had wiped out these fifty or sixty rats.

He hadn't found the Corpse Eating Flower; maybe this forest didn't have that kind of plant. Chen Luo chuckled. Having this Psychedelic Fruit tree was already a very good harvest.

Time to head home.

But Chen Luo didn't notice that in the depths of the rat's nest, a black female rat, with deep-seated hatred in her eyes, watched Chen Luo leave, but忍ren (endured) and didn't appear.
