Apocalypse: The Supporting Actress Made a Comeback novel Chapter 726

Chapter 726: HARVEST 388

Bai Ye’s sword strike had been fierce, and he had not anticipated that he would sever the mutated viper into two sections. The snake’s head, as large as an adult man’s fist, fell to the ground, its mouth wide open, though it was no longer capable of spewing venom.

As for the remaining venomous fog, the two were not concerned. Fang Yuxin used a cleaning technique, and a breeze dispersed the dispersing toxic mist. After deliberation, Fang Yuxin gathered the snake’s body and head in a jade box, planning to have it studied after returning to the base.

Then, she and Fang Yuyang continued to search the forest for their prey. Besides mutant plants, the forest was teeming with mutant beasts and mutated birds, and occasionally, zombies appeared. The forest was vast and complex in terrain. Although they occasionally encountered zombies and mutant beasts, they were not intimidated and easily dealt with them. Fang Yuxin preserved all the mutant beasts’ bodies, while Lan Re and Red Powder ended up with the zombies’ bodies.

The pair advanced deeper, encountering exciting yet unhazardous situations, reaping a significant bounty. They didn’t only harvest various mutant medicinal plants, but also numerous bodies of mutant beasts, which could potentially yield useful findings at the research institute.

The deeper they went, the quirkier or more valuable the mutant plants they discovered became. Fang Yuxin’s bounty grew significantly, and time flew by swiftly until it was evening.

Bai Ye noticed that it was getting late, and tapped Fang Yuxin on the shoulder, reminding her, "Xinxin, it’s getting late, we should head back."

Just as Fang Yuxin prepared to leave with Bai Ye, she discovered a grove of mutated pine trees. These pines were extraordinarily tall due to mutation, reaching hundreds of meters. Their trunks were straight, thick, and tough, and the needle-like leaves even bore many pine cones, which made Fang Yuxin quite envious.

She hesitated for a moment, then threw a stone at one of the mutated pine trees. As the stone flew halfway, the needle-like leaves rapidly shot out, transforming into hard spikes, turning her thrown stone into a hedgehog.

Seeing this, Fang Yuxin grew even more covetous. The attack power of these mutated pine trees seemed quite impressive; planting them around the base would negate any worry about zombies or mutated creatures!

The more she thought about it, the more she liked the idea; the challenge was convincing these mutated pine trees. She decided to communicate directly with them using her thoughts. Luckily, as a Pure Wood Spirit Body with Wood Element True Essence, she managed to negotiate terms with the mutated pine trees.

The pine trees possessed some spiritual wisdom, though not high. Their demands were simple, needing Wood Energy and the bodies of zombies as nourishment. In exchange, they agreed to obey Fang Yuxin’s commands and protect the base.
