Chapter 233: Gelina's First Battle

In the afternoon, the group began to relocate, with Zhu Zhiquan responsible for driving the Tricycle, while Zhao Yuxin stayed in the carriage to pack most of the plants into the Plant Transport Bag, leaving only Xuebao and Gelina behind.

At this moment, Xuebao was sitting in the corner of the carriage, clutching the swing Zhu Zhiquan had made for her; she was currently tidying the ropes on the swing so she could easily take it out whenever she wanted to play.

Meanwhile, Zhao Yuxin was filling a Flowerpot with soil, adding some fertilizer into it, and then pouring some water into the pot.

After finishing all this, Zhao Yuxin handed the Flowerpot to Gelina and added, "Gelina, you can stay here when you rest from now on, because I put fertilizer in this soil, which can make you grow fast!"

Gelina took the Flowerpot and nodded slightly, then her body began to shrink until she became the size of a palm-sized cartoon doll, preparing to fly into the Flowerpot to take root.

Seeing Gelina shrink, Xuebao in the corner of the carriage hugged her swing and ran over.

At this moment, Gelina looked like a little fairy; the dress she wore had turned into the appearance of jasmine flowers, hanging upside down on her body, and the wings behind her flapped gently as she landed on the soil in the Flowerpot.

Then, Gelina's feet turned into root systems, firmly anchoring into the soil in the Flowerpot; immediately, Gelina revealed an expression of enjoyment and bowed slightly toward Zhao Yuxin.

"Mm~" Xuebao looked at the shrunken Gelina and curiously touched her with a finger.

This time, Gelina did not dodge, letting Xuebao touch her body.

Zhao Yuxin did not pay attention to these two plants, but instead took over driving the Tricycle from Zhu Zhiquan.

Zhu Zhiquan didn't say anything either; it just so happened that when he was making the swing for Xuebao earlier, quite a few people seemed to have @-mentioned him, so he opened the panel to see what was going on.

As soon as he opened the panel, he saw a total of several hundred messages in the World Channel and the Friend Channel, all waiting for his response.

Zhu Zhiquan first opened the Friend Channel and opened the private messages from Sun Zi, who had sent him the most. After thinking for a moment, he sent him: "Sorry, I was too busy just now and couldn't reply to your message in time."

Soon, Sun Zi replied: "It's okay. My wife and I sent you so many private messages before, but they all sank like a stone in the ocean. If your avatars weren't still lit up, we would have thought you were dead."

Zhu Zhiquan: "Are you planning to ask about the High-Crowned Spirit Chief?"

Sun Zi: "Yes, brother, you've dealt with this monster before, right? Can you tell me about it in detail?"

Zhu Zhiquan: "This kind of monster usually turns into a corrosive thick fog; it's that same thick fog that was summoned when killing the Plant Monster.

During the time it turns into thick fog, it can be immune to damage, but I estimate that this thing has a limited duration, otherwise it wouldn't have been photographed in its true form by me."

Sun Zi: "So that's how it is. Then, do you want to explain it to everyone on the World Channel?"

Zhu Zhiquan: "Forget it, you guys should post this content instead."

Afterward, Zhu Zhiquan explained it again to other friends before closing the panel.

At this time, Zhao Yuxin's voice came: "Ajiu, there is a Green Supply Box on a tree ahead; you be responsible for getting it in a moment."

"Okay."

Soon, Zhao Yuxin parked the vehicle under a tree. Zhu Zhiquan was preparing to get off, but he quickly noticed a Flower Chief Demon not far away manipulating the petals on its body to float in the air, which were condensing into a long spear.

Zhu Zhiquan snorted coldly and used Phoenix Cloud Fire to eliminate it first. The commotion caused by its explosion made Zhao Yuxin curious, and she immediately asked: "Ajiu, what happened?"

Zhu Zhiquan did not reply, but carefully observed the surroundings, discovering that many Plant Monsters were disguising themselves as ordinary plants, seemingly ready to ambush them at any time.

"Azhao, observe carefully to see if there are any Plant Monsters lurking nearby."

"Got it." Zhao Yuxin first let out a shout, then confirmed based on the information returned by the sound waves: "Ajiu, these monsters do indeed have the possibility of harboring evil intentions, but their movements are really small; I didn't even notice them at first!"

While she was speaking, Zhu Zhiquan had already walked out of the carriage alone. At this time, some bold monsters immediately launched an attack on Zhu Zhiquan, but Zhu Zhiquan gently tilted his body and dodged all the attacks.

Immediately, Zhu Zhiquan shouted: "Gelina, come and show off your strength."

"Oh, okay." Hearing Zhu Zhiquan's shout, Gelina immediately left the Flowerpot and turned back into the appearance of the girl next door from before, coming outside the vehicle to launch a large number of Thorns at the attacking monsters.

Countless Thorns quickly crawled onto these monsters and bound them. The bound monsters struggled constantly, but ended up being scratched by the Spikes on them, with sap flowing out from the wounds.

However, the Ghost-Horned Tree Demons among them perhaps had harder bark, so the Spikes on them caused almost no damage, and they even tore the Thorns apart.

After these Ghost-Horned Tree Demons broke free from the restraints, they wanted to rush over to tear Gelina to pieces, but as soon as they pulled their tree roots out, they felt many overlapping images before their eyes, and they couldn't even walk steadily.

Other bound monsters also experienced the same situation, but because they were smaller in size and easier to be scratched by the Spikes, they showed symptoms first, followed by one monster after another falling down and starting to convulse.

The Ghost-Horned Tree Demons were in much better condition, but they weren't doing much better either; one by one, they all started kneeling on the ground, breathing with difficulty.

After seeing this scene, Zhao Yuxin picked up paper and a pen, walked out of the carriage, and asked: "Gelina, is this your instinct?"

Gelina tilted her head and asked: "What is instinct?"

Zhao Yuxin: "Then let me change the way I ask: can we learn that skill?"

Gelina looked up and pondered for a while, "Probably not, because you aren't a plant."

Zhao Yuxin: "Then if I were a plant, could I learn it?"

Gelina: "My intuition tells me that any plant can learn this skill."

"I see." Zhao Yuxin recorded this information and then continued to ask other questions.

Meanwhile, Zhu Zhiquan had already taken the Material Box down from the tree and opened it, obtaining five bottles of water, a barrel of Gasoline, and a Primary Talent Upgrade Card.

After Zhu Zhiquan asked Xuebao to help move these supplies back into the carriage, he held the Primary Talent Upgrade Card and thought about which talent he should upgrade.

At this time, Zhao Yuxin also finished asking for information and entered the carriage together with Gelina, then Zhao Yuxin asked: "Did you open anything very important?"

Zhu Zhiquan handed the Primary Talent Upgrade Card in his hand to Zhao Yuxin and said: "Except for this being relatively important, we aren't lacking anything else."

Zhao Yuxin toyed with the Primary Talent Upgrade Card and then raised her own concern: "Ajiu, could this be the territory of another High-Crowned Spirit Chief? It feels like these monsters aren't afraid of us."

"Perhaps, but it just so happens that it can provide you with new material, right?"

"That makes sense, but remember I want them alive; don't kill them for me!"

"Okay, but this time I plan to let Gelina try attacking; it just so happens that it can provide you with more data."

"That works. By the way, can I use this Primary Talent Upgrade Card?"

"Okay."

Just as Zhu Zhiquan agreed, he heard Xuebao barking incessantly, her hand pointing in one direction without stopping.

Zhao Yuxin nodded and said: "Calm down, Baobao. Is that thick fog coming? It's fine, watch how Mommy plays with that thick fog."

Afterward, Zhao Yuxin walked out of the carriage and saw at a glance that a dark green thick fog was approaching in the distance.

"It really came." She quickly sat in the driver's seat and drove the Tricycle away from the scene.
