Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food

Chapter 799: Chapter 299 Li Qinghua’s Choice_6

This Lingyun Slope also belongs to a branch of the Yang Mountain Range, there’s no reason it wouldn’t have mineral veins.

And the appearance of mineral veins will inevitably promote the evolution of some mutant creatures, leading to the birth of mutant plants.

On this mountain, there might also be quite a few mutated fruits.

Especially since this mountain bears no traces of human footsteps, the mutated fruits should be more abundant than those on Meishan.

Liang Yuan had asked Li Xiangyang, many people in Meishan Village, in fact, awakened their mutant abilities through some mutated fruits found on Meishan.

This means that there are many mutated fruits on Meishan, but the people of Meishan Village have also eaten a lot of them.

Plus, with some mutant beasts devouring them, even if there are still some mutated fruits on Meishan, there wouldn’t be many.

But Lingyun Slope is different, without human footprints here, there should still be quite a few mutated fruits remaining.

After all, mutant beasts don’t have high intelligence, some hidden and inaccessible mutated fruits may not be within their reach.

Moreover, since humans have not set foot in this place, the types and quantities of mutated creatures are far more than those in the Yangshan Scenic Area and Tree Mountain.

Indeed, Liang Yuan and Li Yuejin hadn’t walked far when they saw a creature that looked like a cow but was two or three times its size, grazing among the trees.

Its horns were short, at first glance resembling four ears, its body pure white, without any spots.

Its eyes were as large as copper bells, watery, with a hint of intelligence.

Suddenly, it seemed to sense something, and immediately raised its head to look at Liang Yuan and the others in their direction.

Upon seeing Liang Yuan and Li Yuejin, it immediately showed a look of panic in its eyes.

Soon, they saw it suddenly emit a layer of white light, followed by its four hooves running crazily, and before long, it disappeared into the dappled shadows of the trees.

Li Yuejin was greatly shocked by this scene, and said, "What was that? A cow? How could it emit light?"

Liang Yuan walked towards the grass, saying, "It should be a mutated cow. Judging by the way it emitted light just now, it’s probably a light attribute mutant beast."

"Light attribute? There are such attribute mutant beasts?" Li Yuejin was astonished. He had never seen such a mutant beast before.

He hadn’t even seen such a superpower user.

Liang Yuan smiled, "Former leader of Meishan Jieshi Academy, Li Xiangyang, was a light attribute superpower user. He could instantly release strong light, causing an explosion like a flashbang, and could also concentrate and condense this light energy into a light blade."

Li Yuejin couldn’t help but say, "The world is really full of wonders, it’s truly an eye-opener for me."

Liang Yuan squatted down, looking at the grazed grass.

Li Yuejin also lowered his head to look, and couldn’t help but be astonished again, "Mutant plants!"

Among the green grass, mutant plants shaped like mushrooms were growing, about the size of a fist, with caps that were elliptical or round, smooth surface, emitting white light.

From a distance, they looked like small light bulbs.

Some of the caps had been half-eaten, revealing the stems below, still glowing faintly.

"Mr. Liang, do these count as mutated fruits?" Li Yuejin quickly asked.

Liang Yuan shook his head slightly, "Unlikely, if these were mutated fruits, they would have been eaten by other mutant beasts long ago."

"However, this thing probably isn’t poisonous. Since that mutated cow can eat it, maybe humans can too. Let’s collect some and take them back for Dr. Yang and the others to test."

"Alright then."

Li Yuejin immediately began to pick them.

Seeing him break them off with his hands, Liang Yuan immediately said, "Wait a minute."

"What’s wrong, Mr. Liang?" Li Yuejin looked at Liang Yuan in confusion.

Liang Yuan shook his head, saying, "Don’t pick them like that. Dig them out with the soil and keep the roots. If they’re really valuable, maybe we can transplant them to Yangshan for cultivation."

Li Yuejin suddenly understood, nodded quickly, and began to dig them out with the roots and soil together.

Liang Yuan’s gaze scanned the surroundings, sensing something was watching them.

However, as his spiritual power spread out, he didn’t sense anything within fifty meters.

"Could it be that mutated cow? It didn’t go far, it’s still nearby?"

Liang Yuan’s eyes flickered. If only Dong Yan were here, with her spiritual link superpower, she might be able to sense that cow.

...

After Liang Yuan and Li Yuejin left, only Li Qinghua and the three others remained sitting on the ground in the woods.

No one spoke, they exchanged glances, then discreetly glanced around.

After a long while, Zhou Qingming finally said in a low voice, "Did he really leave?"

Sister Wan shook her head slightly, indicating she didn’t know.

Li Qinghua closed his eyes to sense, but unfortunately, he was not a spirit ability user, his sensing range was not large.

"He probably left. With his strength, he doesn’t need to play this game with us, plus... Old Zhou, he probably left some kind of mark on you, he can find us at any time."

After Li Qinghua spoke, Zhou Qingming immediately checked himself, skeptically using his accumulated superpower to fog his body and then restore it, "It can’t be. I don’t have any items on me."

Li Qinghua sighed, "It’s probably not about using some item to locate you, it’s most likely some kind of superpower."

Sister Wan also said, "Forget it, don’t waste your energy. Old Zhou, rest up and recover your strength quickly. Regardless of what happens next, we need to restore our strength to cope with the situation."

Old Zhou nodded helplessly, sat down to recover his strength silently, and couldn’t help but ask, "Qinghua, why did we join them? We’ve become enemies with them, what good will staying bring us?"

"He just gave us a second option, why don’t we just leave? This world is so big, there’s not only these few mountains."

Li Qinghua didn’t say anything, and Lin Wan, who was tending to Li Qinghua’s injuries, said in a low voice, "Old Zhou is not wrong. We don’t need to stay here and suffer. Qinghua, with your ability, you could be a leader anywhere. Why tolerate this under him?"

Hearing them, Li Qinghua couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

He sighed, "Do you really naively think he would give us a second option?"

"Do you believe we’d be safe if we choose the second option? We’d lose our lives immediately."

"What!" Lin Wan’s face changed.

Zhou Qingming’s pupils also contracted, "Qinghua, do you mean... he was testing us?"

Li Qinghua pursed his lips, shaking his head, "I don’t know, but I don’t want to gamble."

"I only know if it were me, I wouldn’t let an already hostile enemy go easily, especially one like me with potential for growth."

"Empathy suggests I dare not choose the second option."
