"Have you seen the vine of the purple flower?" That is a mutated plant called the Purple Flower Vine. The flower juice of this purple flower vine has a paralyzing effect, and many anesthetic drugs are now derived from it.
Ruan Shu held a dried fish in her hand, her attention completely drawn to the mutated plant described by Yu Huan.
Vines in the botanical family typically possess strong climbing abilities and tend to intertwine with nearby trees to facilitate their upward growth, absorbing sunlight and water efficiently.
Some vines can be domineering, not only climbing trees but also absorbing nutrients from them.
The purple flower vine is entwined around a tree, appearing no different from ordinary plants.
But soon, she noticed that the vine of the Purple Flower Vine was twisting like a snake, and the tip of the vine was aimed in their direction.
Ruan Shu was startled, almost dropping the dried fish in her hand.
Yu Huan laughed, "Don't be afraid." The purple flower vine is drooping. "It won't attack as long as you don't steal its flowers."
Ruan Shu calmed her pounding heart and asked softly, "Then how do we obtain its flowers?"
Preventing theft while still enjoying the flowers - isn't this a contradiction?
Yu Huan smirked, "It's not difficult, actually." As long as we are stronger than the Purple Flower Vine, or have someone to help, we can pick the flowers while fighting and then run away.
He said it with a somewhat smug look, but at that moment, this was the only way to collect materials from the mutated plants.
They needed the materials from the mutated plants, and it would be best to obtain them without harming the plants.
So, they needed someone to help with fighting and picking at the same time.
"The range of activity of mutated plants is limited." "As long as we run fast enough, they won't catch up."
Ruan Shu nodded in understanding. In summary, it was a matter of the strong oppressing the weak and taking advantage of the outnumbered.
Yu Huan said, "What nonsense are you talking about?" This is a tactic!
Ruan Shu: ... How did she blurt out what she was thinking?
The young girl blushed and stammered, trying to explain that she didn't say anything.
Yu Huan snorted. He heard everything, so don't take him for a fool.
The hovercar circled the perimeter of the private island, and the three of them were introducing her to the plants she had never seen before.
Yu Sheng said, "There is a mutated coconut tree over there." Ruan Shu, would you like to have some coconut water?
Before Ruan Shu could answer, Yu Huan exclaimed, "Why even ask? Mutated plants produce fruits that are much tastier than regular fruits and offer health benefits." Let's go and pick some more.
Ruan Shu timidly asked her brother, "Is it dangerous?"
She was really timid.
Yu Huan couldn't help but pinch her chubby, worried little face.
"You just watch. That coconut tree is definitely no match for us."
He added sincerely, "Why are you so timid?" If no one protects you, you will be bullied.
Ruan Shu lowered her head in shame. She also wished she had more courage, but it was not something she could control on her own.
Ruan Qingran patted her head and comforted her, "With us here, who would dare to bully you?"
Yu Huan added, "I'm afraid that Ruan Shu will be bullied and won't even have the courage to come home and complain."
Ruan Shu: ... Stop talking. How can you predict that?
Ruan Qingran: ... That makes sense. He's starting to worry now. Maybe he should ask his younger uncle to provide a bodyguard for his little niece every day.
They soon arrived at the location where Yu Sheng had mentioned the mutated coconut tree.
The hovercar stopped outside the range of the coconut tree's attack, and Ruan Shu was instructed to sit inside the car while the other three got out.
As they approached the coconut tree, they were immediately met with the first wave of attacks.
The leaves of the coconut tree are dagger-shaped and numerous, harmless when not in attack mode.
Once launched, the seemingly harmless leaves transformed into extremely hard projectiles, attacking anyone in their path.
It was like a rain of knives.
Through the sunlight, Ruan Shu noticed that the edges of the leaves were gleaming with a cold light, exceptionally sharp.
When they fell to the ground, they even pierced it. If they fell on a person, they would be stabbed like a sieve!
The three of them were skilled at easily dodging the dense rain of leaf blades.
In the end, Yu Sheng and Ruan Qingran defended against the attacks while Yu Huan went to pick the leaves.
Although Ruan Shu was in the car, her eyes were filled with anxiety, and her little fists were clenched.
She couldn't do anything but silently cheer for them in her heart.
Please don't let anything happen. Ruan Qingran still has injuries on his body, yet he still went.
Ruan Shu was completely focused on the battlefield when suddenly the car door was knocked twice.
Her attention was immediately drawn to it, and she looked in the direction of the sound. It turned out to be the leaves of the coconut tree, alive and knocking on the door!
Ruan Shu was instantly dumbfounded, her eyes wide with confusion. Didn't Yu Sheng say that this was a safe area?
"Knock, knock..."
The door was knocked again, and Ruan Shu could only be grateful that they had raised and closed the car shed when they left. Otherwise, would she have been stabbed multiple times by now?
Terrified, Ruan Shu didn't dare to move, nervously staring at the coconut tree that was still knocking on the door.
It seemed surprisingly polite.
Ruan Shu observed the intense battle on her brother's side and then turned her attention back to her own situation.
Why did it feel different?
With a puzzled expression, she saw the leaf retract, but before she could relax, it came back again.
But this time, it actually came bearing a gift!
It was a large, round, green lump - the very coconut her brothers were trying to grab.
Ruan Shu: ???
Her mind was now filled with question marks. What on earth was going on?
When the coconut tree knocked on the door again, Ruan Shu hesitated for a moment. Eventually, he approached the car and greeted it through a crack in the window with a soft, gentle voice.
"Hello."
It seemed to have heard her, as the tree leaves appeared to be dancing in response.
It seemed to have no ill intentions towards her.
But looking back at her brothers' side, she couldn't help but wonder if this was even the same coconut tree!
The coconut tree leaves hooked a bunch of coconuts and offered them to her through the car door. It didn't seem like it was looking for trouble; it seemed more like it was giving her a gift.
After hesitating, Ruan Shu opened the car window slightly.
The leaves slipped through the crack and brushed against her, and in her nervous gaze, the soft leaves caressed her.
Ruan Shu smiled, her eyes curved in a silent, gentle smile, looking very obedient.
She touched the leaves with her small hand and said, "Hello, I'm Ruan Shu."
Now she was sure that this coconut tree wasn't plotting anything. It really just came to give her something.
