Chapter 792: All-you-can-eat
Bai Li was taken aback for a moment, thinking that such a thing might be possible.
However, she quickly waved her hand dismissively as she said, “Whatever, that’s something for the future, right now I need to save Qin Feng!”
Z was obviously unhappy with Bai Li’s attitude, it was like he was talking to a brick wall. It was at this time that he actually missed Qin Feng being around.
That was because Qin Feng had been secretly conducting research as well, minus the human experimentation. Although he had not said anything, he supported the development of new types of awakening potions.
Despite Bai Li’s impatience, Z spoke again. “If you open a spatial passage, you’re basically connecting the energies of two realms. Why are the plants here so lush? That’s because you opened a spatial passage here yesterday, the energy seeped through it and caused the plants to mutate!”
Z’s words made Bai Li consider this for a moment.
Thinking carefully, Z’s theory sounded reasonable.
“If you open a spatial passage in the air, spiritual energy bleeding from it and all, wouldn’t the plants grow up to reach the sky and by then the people might not even be saved!”
Bai Li furrowed her brow at this point.
There were still a lot of people in Chongluo City and she had been in human society for a long time, she did not want to give up on these people.
Civilians might seem rather useless, but these people were the foundation of society. Without them cities would not prosper and there would be no next generation.
Rewind a quick moment, suppose that Z’s idea actually worked and people were able to fight, would that not mean whoever had the most people was the strongest?
In short, if a passage was rashly opened and many people could not be saved, that was tantamount to a series of unending problems.
However, it was at this moment Qin Feng had already brought the people outside of the city walls and gone on to investigate the plants.
During the time spent for this conversation, he had already been dragged into the dense forest by the mutant plants.
“Eee!”
Bai Li let out a cry, suddenly becoming anxious!
***
In the spatial overlap, Qin Feng was suddenly pulled into the forest with mutant plants wrapping around his body.
He was not prepared for it the first time, but he was not someone to be trifled with!
Slash!
The Verdant Emperor Saber instantly slashed away at the mutant plant.
However, this move only seemed to annoy the mutant plant as it violently wrapped itself around his body, arms and legs, hanging him from the air.
His arm was pulled by a strong force, a large vine was tugging at him, but it was quickly chopped away by the Verdant Emperor Saber.
He was still suspended in the air. Not only that, the mutant plant unleashed sharp thorns, trying to pierce through his skin and shredding his combat uniform on the outside in the process.
Qin Feng felt a severe pain on his skin. His skin was comparable to that of a B4 ultra beast and could not be easily broken through, for a while the two hung there in a stalemate.
There was no way the vines could kill him and he could only shear away at some vines.
The vines were growing more and more, reaching to wrap around Qin Feng’s head at that point as it tried to break his neck and envelop his head.
He had no internal force to support him, naturally this meant that he could not hold his breath for a very long time. He was in a crisis!
Without hesitation, he opened his mouth and bit down!
It did not matter for the absorption ability when it came to Qin Feng’s body, regardless of whichever part it was, the bones, the teeth, all were strengthened.
As a human being, he would naturally not resort to the means that the ultra beasts used but right now he could not help but be forced to do so.
Fortunately, these mutant plant vines were not toxic. The vines that had just been slashed leaked out sap that had a delightful fragrance!
In the next moment, Qin Feng felt a sweet taste flow into his mouth!
The sap quickly spread into his limbs, filling him with strength.
A full day’s worth of fatigue began to fade away, the pain of the thorns was disappearing.
“Good stuff!”
Qin Feng’s eyes lit up as he watched the vines come in for an entangling attack again. Without hesitation, he bit down and consumed the nutrients of those vines.
As for the plant it only lost a few vines but for Qin Feng it was a source of power.
He started acting as if the Absorption Ability was activated again, beginning to eat voraciously.
Boom!
There was a booming sound that came from his body. While no energy rippled out this time, Qin Feng knew that his physical form had broken into the B5 tier.
Not only that, the power that he held seemed to be integrated into his form in no time at all.
Previously, Qin Feng only had a powerful physical form supported by internal force, the actual power of the body was not very clear. It was like a specially designed robot with reinforced steel, incredibly sturdy.
Now, this robot had been repaired, its A.I. system refreshed and its joints lubricated.
“Come on!”
Qin Feng curled his arms up and the dozens of vines wrapping around it suddenly felt more like noodles being picked up by a chopstick, entangling these vines around his arm in a circular motion.
The vines had their limits and with Qin Feng so entangled, they quickly went taut. With a violent flick of his limbs he snapped these vines off.
His body’s outward appearance had not changed, but his strength was explosive as he fiercely ripped these vines into pieces.
He raised an arm and shoved a piece of a vine into his mouth, biting onto it and quickly devouring it.
While the vines made him feel pain before, once he had reached B5 tier he felt no pain nor itch.
He continued to eat, not caring about the people outside.
This mutant plant continued its bitter stalemate for half an hour. Chunks of its vines were ripped off left and right, and finally it began to show some instinctual fear and started retreating.
However, there were still some vines that were entangled around Qin Feng. Even if they wanted to let go he would not allow it!
He grabbed the vine and let it take him deeper into the forest.
This had already surpassed the previously overlapped space, in a night’s time the space had expanded once more and now Qin Feng had entered another dimension.
However, he was not in a hurry.
Whoosh!
As the vines rapidly retreated, they finally came to an end and Qin Feng finally saw what the huge mutant plant looked like.
It was a jade-white plant that was seven or eight meters wide and about ten meters in height. It looked like a bok choy in appearance and from between this bok choy’s gaps were countless numbers of vines that were currently retreating back inside it.
Qin Feng was instantly brought into the interior of this plant by the vines.
An incomparably rich fragrance filled his nose and it was much thicker than the sap from the vines that he had eaten before.
The inside of this mutant plant was actually hollow but in the center of it the vines were all entangled to form a ball, constantly writing around something that was the source of this aroma.
