The other things are beyond our control.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Yan also sighed upon hearing this and resumed destroying the Stone Forest, collecting quite a few stone shells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s quite fascinating; these stone shells appear as hard and durable as rocks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they are surprisingly lightweight, not heavy like actual stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A stone shell as tall as a human weighs no more than about twenty pounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even someone who hasn’t undergone evolutionary mutations can easily lift it with one hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Liang Yuan realize that these things might indeed be of strategic value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wonder how dense this material is. If it can float on water, it could be used to make sturdy hulls?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This material is much more durable than steel, Liang Yuan thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving the Stone Forest area and returning to Yang Shenmin and the others,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the group’s mood seemed to have stabilized considerably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Ma, Cai Zhi, and the others had regained their sanity, although they still appeared somewhat dazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan found Yang Shenmin to inquire about the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How are they doing now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Shenmin said, \"They have regained their sanity, but they seem very exhausted from the previous excitement.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And what about the two who were injured?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mentioning the two injured people, Yang Shenmin suddenly got excited, \"They’re fine, just minor wounds. I discovered something amazing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These Stone Heap Monsters within the Stone Forest, their short tendrils contain a significant amount of anesthetic substances.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Their skin was torn open, but they felt no pain. Even though blood was still flowing, they didn’t cry out when I washed their wounds.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan nodded, \"I noticed that too. What’s the significance?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Shenmin quickly said, \"These creatures are like natural anesthetists. If we can control them, it would greatly reduce the pain for patients during treatments.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They could even be invaluable for things like childbirth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The invention of anesthetics was a major milestone in the medical field.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With the collapse of modern industry, anesthetics have become a luxury.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But if these creatures can replace anesthetics, it would be a huge discovery.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan suddenly realized the importance of these monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In future catastrophic times, during evolutionary mutations, there will surely be high casualties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If people could have painless surgeries or even painless deaths, it would be a great blessing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Liang Yuan immediately said, \"Alright, let’s capture a few and see if we can bring them back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Shenmin nodded repeatedly, \"Yes, we must bring them back. These creatures have great pharmaceutical value.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, despite the Stone Heap Monsters appearing huge, their shells are not heavy, though their insides are quite weighty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the inventory space couldn’t store living creatures, Liang Yuan had Shi Haizhu carry one for now, while Yang Shenmin carried another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the meantime, Cai Zhi, Old Ma, and the others finally came to their senses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Liang... Liang Yuan!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Zhi called out in a trembling voice as he saw Liang Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan quickly walked over and asked, \"Brother Cai, how are you feeling?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I just saw many mutated fruits, did I awaken?\" Cai Zhi immediately asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan shook his head and said, \"Brother Cai, you fell into the mutant monster’s trap.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These stone heaps seem to have some sort of power to confuse you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He explained what had happened, and Cai Zhi’s face turned pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Old Ma also came around. Hearing their conversation, his face turned gloomy as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a bitter smile, he said, \"Indeed, how could mutated fruits be so easy to find.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan consoled, \"It’s all about luck, Old Ma. Don’t lose heart. Follow me back, there’s always a chance to find mutated fruits.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Shenmin couldn’t help but ask, \"Did you see Tang Ying? Wasn’t she with you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Ma looked around and said, \"She was with us before we entered the Stone Forest. Why isn’t she here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Shenmin grew anxious, according to Lu Dayou, Tang Ying was indeed with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan said, \"Okay, Ding Yan, you and Shi Haizhu take everyone back to the raft first. Dr. Yang, Song Wen, and I will continue looking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This island isn’t large, she shouldn’t be far.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Yan frowned, looking at Song Wen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Wen lowered her head, avoiding Ding Yan’s gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking about Song Wen’s superpower, Ding Yan agreed that she was more suitable to stay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, she nodded, \"Alright, I’ll bring them back and return quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Haizhu quickly added, \"Yes, I’ll rush back as soon as possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan shook his head, \"You don’t need to come back. This island, though not large, has a complex terrain and many strange mutant creatures, impossible to guard against.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Neither of you has spiritual power skills. It’s best if you don’t return.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, the three of us are enough here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Yan reluctantly agreed, feeling for the first time that her empowerment superpower had too many shortcomings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group split up, and Liang Yuan spread out his spiritual power, taking on the role of pathfinder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Shenmin and Song Wen followed him, traversing the Stone Forest, encountering more dense stone forests ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from the surrounding vegetation, the stone forests appeared more frequently as they moved towards the center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stone creatures stood tall, scattered across the island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan noticed many bones lying on the ground in this stone forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bones were skeletal, with clothes still on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were even some snacks in the bags.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the bodies were devoid of flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, both Liang Yuan, Yang Shenmin, and Song Wen showed changes in their expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Yuan immediately recalled the Stone Heap Monsters using their short tendrils to suck the blood of humans, which made his expression darken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They were probably sucked dry by the Stone Heap Monsters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s be careful and avoid the Stone Forest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Shenmin and Song Wen nodded immediately, and the three of them skirted the Stone Forest, walking through the lush vegetation at the edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, they heard an angry roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Beast, get away!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, they saw a figure dart out from the bushes.\u003C\u002Fp>",1092,"2026-05-29T17:51:39.874Z","2026-06-01T04:29:53.098Z",1,"novelbin.me","c3ed4669edf4e2a058bd8c90520051cf5e30c2bfd4097dfa089704de31a57be7","apocalyptic-flood-sexy-beauty-neighbor-s-midnigh-chapter-407","apocalyptic-flood-sexy-beauty-neighbor-s-midnigh-chapter-405",1292,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalyptic-flood-sexy-beauty-neighbor-s-midnigh-cover.jpg"]
