Chapter 121: Chapter 104: A Harmony of All Things, A Beauty Too Great to Endure (Third Update)_1
“Before you is the Botanic Garden’s seed vault. Unfortunately, all the seeds here have been contaminated by bioweapons.”
“The bioweapon that attacked this place used a method of DNA blending. The DNA of plants and animals fused at that moment, resulting in the birth of a peculiar species of animal-plant hybrids. I advise you to be very careful when using these seeds; do not let an attack by the animal-plants cost you your life.”
As Fang Cheng listened to Alpha’s explanation, he began to remove the seeds from the storage.
Despite the long passage of time, these seeds were all stored at temperatures close to absolute zero, combined with dry conditions for preservation, and astonishingly, they still retained their vitality.
After detecting the seeds in Fang Cheng’s hand, the sprite Alpha conducted a brief check and then said, “The speculation is that it’s a combination of green plants and terrifying beasts; that kind of beast has a fearsome physique, chilling teeth, and a sharp nose that can recognize over a hundred thousand smells. It possesses a pathological loyalty to its owner and will shred any enemy that approaches.”
Injecting Mana into the seed, the seed began to grow at a surprising rate under the stimulus of Mana, soon maturing into a ten-pound cabbage.
However, unlike ordinary cabbages, it also exhibited distinct animal traits.
Some of its leaves turned into tails, and it grew green facial features on its face. Its slightly bloated body looked somewhat cute, and it would occasionally let out a pleasing “woof woof” sound.
As soon as it had grown, it started running around Fang Cheng excitedly, occasionally pausing to rub against Fang Cheng, showing its affection for him.
Staring at it for a while, Fang Cheng asked in confusion, “This thing seems like a dog, doesn’t it?”
Next to him, Tian Xuan nodded vigorously.
“Don’t be fooled by its appearance.” Alpha spoke earnestly, “This is the first form of the bioweapon. It has a second form. Once it accumulates enough combat experience, it can evolve and take on the second form.”
“The second form of the dog will be even more dangerous, and it has an extremely strong regenerative capacity. Even if it’s reduced to pieces, as long as there is water, it can recover instantly.”
“Furthermore, they can mimic. They can disguise themselves as ordinary plants by the roadside, but the moment they sense something amiss, they will immediately jump out to attack.”
“Is that so?”
Summoning a thread of Mana into the soil, Fang Cheng molded a creature similar to a dog from the earth and endowed it with the ability to fully awaken the combat instincts of the surrounding creatures.
Stimulated by the Immortal Spell, the dog immediately started fighting with the earthen dog with a roar.
As a bioweapon, its innate abilities were also triggered, and every few minutes of battle saw its combat experience rapidly improve, along with increasing control over its own body.
Half an hour later, the vegetable dog let out a roar, and a green light burst from its body, spreading across its entire form.
The accumulated combat experience caused it to start evolving. Its original body was no longer suitable for its current combat needs, so it instinctively sought a new form.
Before everyone’s eyes, the vegetable dog absorbed the combat experience from its fight with the earth dog and underwent a significant change in form.
Its limbs became slender, its claws sharp, and its formerly cute body became fierce; it finally began to resemble a bioweapon more closely.
The evolved vegetable dog displayed an extraordinary speed. The earthen dog, created based on its physical attributes, was quickly sliced into pieces by it.
Standing triumphantly on the corpse of its formidable enemy, the vegetable dog raised its head proudly and came over to Fang Cheng’s side, lifting Fang Cheng’s hand with its forehead to rub against it.
“Oh, were you jealous because I summoned another dog? You’re a child capable of jealousy?”
“They are bioweapons, with strong learning capabilities and intelligence similar to an eight-year-old child. They probably understood what you did just now,” explained Alpha from the side.
“Its aggression has increased… What is the mimic state like?”
Understanding Fang Cheng’s command, the vegetable dog promptly leapt to the roadside, dug a hole in the ground, and quickly buried itself in it.
Next, it stretched its tail out of the hole, and in an instant, the fluffy tail transformed into a plant that you absolutely couldn’t find on Earth.
It looked just like a half-meter-tall weed resembling a healthy dandelion, with each strand of hair splitting into fluffy filaments that even flickered with an icy, crystal-like white light.
Inside the hole, the vegetable dog could put itself to sleep, and from the outside, its tail appeared merely as an ordinary but unusually attractive plant to Earthlings.
Moreover, Fang Cheng could feel a hint of Spiritual Energy in the creature’s mimicked state.
Many creatures passively inhale and exhale Spiritual Energy, but far fewer accumulate it within themselves to eventually turn it into Spirituality.
Although all these little creatures are bioweapons, the fusion of animal and plant traits seemed to make it easier for them to accumulate Spirituality, thus enhancing their physique even more.
Rounding up, these plants are also Spirit Grass!
Thinking this way made planting them even more delightful.
Beyond the vegetable dog, the storage contained a large number of plant seeds.
When Fang Cheng inquired why there was a need to store so many seeds, Alpha immediately responded, “Storing plant seeds is a tradition of the Botanic Garden, maintaining species diversity is one of the missions of the Botanic Garden, it’s something that has to be done.”
