Chapter 228: Plant Monsters

Xuebao knew clearly that Mom and Dad were not in a good state, so it could only suppress the idea of playing with them.

After the plants in the woods showed no movement, Zhu Zhiquan quickly entered the carriage. Zhao Yuxin, meanwhile, asked Ling Xi and the others for some Molotov cocktails to prevent the plants in the woods from suddenly rising up.

Before long, the plants in the woods noticed that they seemed to be resting, and one after another, they bared their fangs, attempting to use them as their own fertilizer.

"Right on time! Please have a hot one!" Zhao Yuxin threw a Molotov cocktail, hitting the area where the abnormal plants were most concentrated; in an instant, these flowers, grasses, and trees pulled out their root systems and ran for their lives.

Zhu Zhiquan also obtained information on these plants and sent a copy to Zhao Yuxin.

Name: Ghost Horn Tree Demon

Type: Demon

Introduction: This is a type of tree demon that likes to devour you while you sleep. This kind of demon usually likes to gather together, so if you must pass through their territory, please be sure to stay with your companions, even when bathing or using the toilet.

Name: Bloodthirsty Grass

Type: Demon

Introduction: This is a type of demon that likes to huddle and hide in weeds. Anyone passing by who accidentally steps on one of them will experience what it means to wish they were dead.

Name: Flower Queen Demon

Type: Demon

Introduction: This is a flower demon that appears alongside Bloodthirsty Grass. Usually, the Flower Queen Demon is considered their queen by the Bloodthirsty Grass, and its wonderful pheromones will drive the Bloodthirsty Grass into a frenzy.

Zhao Yuxin: "So that's how it is. Then after we've rested, Ajiu, you help keep watch, okay~"

Zhu Zhiquan: "Okay."

Having said that, Zhu Zhiquan threw another Molotov cocktail, scaring the plants in the woods so much that they dared not approach easily again and could only obediently retreat to a safe position.

Afterward, these plants no longer had any major movements, as if they had turned into ordinary plants.

Confirming that these plants would not act up, Zhao Yuxin arranged for a few Durian Warriors and placed a circle of Sea Buckthorn Bomb-throwers around the Tricycle to prevent sudden attacks from the jungle plants.

After finishing all this, Zhao Yuxin pulled Zhu Zhiquan along to catch up on sleep in the carriage. During this time, the jungle plants saw that they were once again motionless and prepared to sneak an attack on Zhu Zhiquan and the others.

However, they were all beaten back by the plants led by the Durian Warriors. The plants in the jungle made rustling sounds, seemingly questioning why they were acting as lackeys for animals.

The only response they got was the Explosive Fruit of the Sea Buckthorn Bomb-throwers. After several consecutive times, the jungle plants went completely quiet and never again had designs on them.

It was not until near noon that the two, having caught up on their sleep, walked out of the carriage one after another.

Zhao Yuxin, holding numerous pieces of experimental equipment, waved at Zhu Zhiquan and shouted: "Ajiu, come over and give me a hand. I can't handle these plants; come over and help me subdue them."

Zhu Zhiquan had no reason to refuse; he picked up his weapon, put on the Barbarian Saint Armor, and slowly walked toward a Ghost Horn Tree Demon. At the same time, his body temperature grew higher and higher, and a terrifying aura from hell was captured by the surrounding plants.

Damn it, we kicked an iron plate this time! What is up with this hellish aura? Could it be that I'm going to have terrible luck today because I didn't check the almanac before going out!?

Sensing this aura, all the tree demons, flower demons, and the like pulled out their roots and ran, leaving behind only the real plants and the Ghost Horn Tree Demon that Zhu Zhiquan had targeted.

The branches and leaves at the top of this tree were trembling non-stop, and no matter how hard it pulled, the roots stuck in the mud would not come out. But Zhu Zhiquan kept approaching, and in order not to be killed, this Ghost Horn Tree Demon decided to resist.

Swish, swish, swish~

The branches and leaves overhead attacked Zhu Zhiquan like flying knives. Zhu Zhiquan activated the Nightmare Demon Eye to dodge and weave among these leaves, his Five-Star Sword waving continuously, like a dancer dancing gracefully amidst blade edges.

When the skill's duration ended, Zhu Zhiquan was completely unscathed, not even a hair out of place, as if this were just a minor interlude.

However, the Ghost Horn Tree Demon had never expected this move to have any effect on Zhu Zhiquan anyway. After attacking Zhu Zhiquan, it was able to pull out its roots and run again.

But with that slow speed, even Zhao Yuxin could easily catch up, not to mention Zhu Zhiquan, who was already a Supernatural Being.

Zhu Zhiquan walked as if he were taking a stroll, but after just a few quick steps, he was neck-and-neck with it.

To the shock of the Ghost Horn Tree Demon, Zhu Zhiquan kicked it right in front of Zhao Yuxin. Before the Ghost Horn Tree Demon could react, Zhu Zhiquan flashed to its side and pinned it firmly under his feet.

The Ghost Horn Tree Demon still wanted to resist, but Zhu Zhiquan's reaction was faster. First, he used his foot to hook it up, then he crouched slightly to catch the Ghost Horn Tree Demon, and finally lifted it high above his head and slammed it heavily onto the ground.

The Ghost Horn Tree Demon was knocked motionless on the spot. Zhao Yuxin crouched down to examine it and discovered that this Ghost Horn Tree Demon had already been slammed to death by Zhu Zhiquan.

She immediately scolded Zhu Zhiquan: "Ajiu, why are you so heavy-handed! Look, such a good research subject was slammed to death by you! It's a good thing this thing is still mostly intact, otherwise I wouldn't know what to study!"

Zhu Zhiquan didn't think much of it; there were so many strange plants here, was there any fear of running out of subjects? Why not just catch a few more? Why get so angry?

He then brought the Durian Warriors along to capture plants in several places in the jungle, and before long, he had piled up a large batch of sentient plants in front of Zhao Yuxin.

Zhao Yuxin picked out the most intact ones to take back to the carriage, and the rest were killed by Zhu Zhiquan and decomposed into materials. It is worth mentioning that these plants could actually be decomposed into meat!

Afterward, Zhu Zhiquan found he had nothing to do. Suddenly, his little brain had a flash of inspiration; he caught two Ghost Horn Tree Demons nearby, then used ropes to connect their branches to make a simple swing.

After seeing the swing Zhu Zhiquan had made from inside the carriage, Xuebao ran out curiously.

Zhu Zhiquan waved, signaling it to sit on the swing. Xuebao sat cautiously on the swing and, under Zhu Zhiquan's guidance, began to swing happily.

Under Zhu Zhiquan's pressure, the two Ghost Horn Tree Demons could only act as ordinary trees on the spot. Other sentient plants in the jungle felt resentful and indignant seeing their companions so humiliated.

At this moment, a Bloodthirsty Grass watching Zhu Zhiquan and the others' evil deeds from afar memorized their location, then ran toward the depths of the jungle like lightning.

"Hmm-hmm~"

"Do you want to go higher?"

"Hmm~"

"Alright, hold on tight."

"Hmm~"

……………

Listening to the clamor outside, Zhao Yuxin, who was attempting a live dissection, was affected by the noise. One slip, and she killed a Flower Queen Demon, which was then automatically decomposed by the system, leaving behind only a Magic Core.

Furious, she jumped out of the carriage and gave Zhu Zhiquan and Xuebao a good beating. After venting her emotions, Zhao Yuxin ordered: "Ajiu, you are responsible for selling the outdoor restrooms. Baobao, come over and give me a hand, did you hear me?"

Zhu Zhiquan and Xuebao looked at each other, seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes.

"Why are you still standing there? Get moving already!"

"Okay, okay..."

"Hmm... hmm..."
