374 Chapter 224
There were four red leaves on the outer side, which were like petals, wrapping the oval-shaped branches and leaves in the center, forming a brand new plant form.
This type of dissimilation of long plants was similar to the two types of volcanic zone plants that were detected earlier. They relied on magma to absorb nutrients and thus survive and reproduce.
Once they left the magma environment, they would quickly wither and exhaust their vitality.
They relied on their excellent reproduction ability to reproduce throughout the entire blazing forest. If Su Ming’s guess was correct, the sika deer population that lived here relied on these plants to feed their hunger and survive.
In less than a moment, information about the mutated plants in front of him was immediately displayed in front of Su Ming.
[ mutated caltrops ] : rare five-star mutated plant in the volcanic zone. There are four leaves on the outer side, and the center is a bright red bulb-shaped leaf. The entire appearance is scarlet red, and it relies on absorbing magma to turn it into nutrients for growth, if one leaves the volcanic zone, it will be difficult to survive.
The outer leaves are sharper and contain a weak paralytic toxin. It can prevent ordinary creatures from approaching, and it can also attract small animals to come over and solve it, turning it into fertilizer for plants.
The central leaf had the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying poison. It tasted soft and sticky, slightly sweet. It was a natural healing herb that could be used as a daily food or as a temporary medicine.
After the first preview, Su Ming was surprised. The mutated Tribulus terrestris under his feet was different from the plants he had encountered before. It actually had a unique medical effect.
It was also a strange plant. The outer leaves could paralyze the biological nerves, but the inner leaves could clear away heat and detoxify poison.
Could this be considered a combination of offense and defense? Su Ming couldn’t help but think in his mind.
No matter what, this kind of plant with medicinal value was very useful to the wolf pack.
Su Ming had to collect some for collection. Whether it was for his own use as a member or to be brought to humans as a trade item in the future, it was a good choice.
Thinking of this, he temporarily put aside the task of searching for the mysterious flower bush. He waved his wolf claws and pulled up the mutated thistle grass in front of him.
In order not to destroy the original medicinal properties of the plant, Su Ming had to ensure its integrity while pulling out the mutated thistle grass by its roots.
In this way, the simplest and most brutal method was to dig deep into the ground with his sharp claws. Then, he would get closer to the range of the roots and suddenly dig up.
“Ao! !”
Su Ming knew that the efficiency of working together was high, so he called his partners behind him and personally demonstrated, leading them to quickly dig up the mutated thistle grass here.
“Bang! !”
When the wolf claws made contact with the soil, there was a slight sound, like two pieces of steel colliding.
It was no wonder. After the mutation of the magma, the soil under the forest had become extremely hard, or else it would not be able to resist the erosion of the magma.
However, this hardness was not enough in front of thunder. As Su Ming applied a little more force, he quickly broke through the hard soil layer and dug deep into the area. He dug out the entire thistle grass along with its roots.
The three wolves, who were watching from the side, finally understood the whole method of digging. They nodded and began to move.
Under Su Ming’s arrangement, there were roughly three steps to dig.
First, using the wolf claws or their own abilities, they would dig deep into the soil and dig out the mutated thistle grass.
Second, they would pick up the mutated thistle grass and bring it to the frost range of Ling. They would isolate the remaining magma in the plant’s body and ensure that the shadow cloth that was used to store it would not be burned.
Finally, he placed the finished mutated thistle grass into a corner of the shadow cloth in the center and collected it.
With this efficient and clear method, in less than twenty minutes, the Wolf Pack had dug up all the mutated thistle grass in the nearby area and filled it into the shadow cloth.
There were about fifteen of them in total, and there were quite a lot of them. Su Ming could even take out half of them to trade with humans and use the other half for himself.
As he watched the shadow cloth shrink and rise up slowly until it reached the top of Su Yi’s head, Su Ming continued his unfinished task of finding the mutated flower bush mentioned by the humans.
Unfortunately, the information given by the humans was too comprehensive, and he could only know its vague appearance. Otherwise, he should be able to use the elimination method to reduce the range of the Wolf Pack’s search.
The area of this blazing forest was not large. The Wolf Pack was currently located in the southeast of the center, so as long as they walked around it clockwise, they could detect the presence of the mutated flowers.
Su Ming naturally hoped to find this so-called mutated flowers, so that he could reduce the time spent on the subsequent journey.
Lightning struck his feet, forcing back the lava. Su Ming got up and led the team to the north. That was the eastern side of the blazing forest, which was denser than the southeast part of the forest. Perhaps they could get some new gains.
As the team went deeper, the trees on both sides increased, and the temperature gradually rose.
In order to take care of Ling’s situation, Su Ming took the initiative to let Ling, who was under the most pressure, walk to the center of the team.
In this way, the temperature that he could withstand would be slightly lowered, which would alleviate the problem of his constantly depleting physical strength.
The forest under the blazing fire was exceptionally quiet. There were no birds or insects, only the sound of wolves walking.
Speaking of which, the deer group that originally lived here seemed to have received the sound of a tree trunk collapsing, so they hid. It was unknown if they would take action to attack the Wolf Group, after all, their numbers were a little more than the four wolves of Su Ming.
