Chapter 189: Have a Good al
Zhang Mu, who had originally planned to retreat, was suddenly awakened by the words of the Obsidian Beetle. His gaze sharpened as he looked towards the direction of the Bottle Gourd.
Indeed, just like Obsidian Beetle said, he was so anxious just now that he didn’t notice anything unusual. But now, after carefully examining it, he noticed a change – the surface color of the Bottle Gourd, one green and one blue, has deepened compared to when he first saw it. It’s easy to overlook if you don’t look closely.
“Little Black, how did you see that?” Zhang Mu asked Obsidian Beetle, looking very surprised.
Proudly, Obsidian Beetle replied, “I was trying to attack this barrier from different angles with my Wind Blades just now. Although it didn’t work, at a certain mont when you threw the body inside, I looked down from the air and felt like the color of the Bottle Gourd had changed. I then observed it carefully from other angles to confirm.”
If that’s the case, it ans that the mutated beast body Zhang Mu threw in earlier is ripening the Bottle Gourd!
Zhang Mu decided to double-check his idea, but he had already thrown all the mutated beast bodies around inside, so he couldn’t experint by throwing in the mutated wolfhound and Obsidian Beetle.
Right, energy. If it’s energy, even though there are no more mutated beast bodies, he has sothing else.
Is there any energy bigger and purer than the elental crystal?
And Zhang Mu, what he has in abundance, is elental crystals.
That white fox is really being foolish. The Bottle Gourd has been waiting for it to ripen itself, but it’s foolishly guarding it, waiting for it to ripen naturally.
But even so, the white fox couldn’t find a lot of energy, would it sacrifice its own people’s lives? Definitely not possible. Even though their nas are decided by the leader of a community, sacrificing too many would make the white fox powerless. Besides, it doesn’t know the true value of the Bottle Gourd.
As for elental crystal, with its delicate relationship with the zombie horde, it couldn’t use a lot either. Being too aggressive would definitely lead to war. The odds of winning against thousands of mutant beasts and a zombie horde with six figures are uncertain, not worth it. But if the number is too small, it wouldn’t be enough for the Bottle Gourd.
Zhang Mu had a thought, he summoned a pile of elental crystals from the Era rchant Ring and forcefully restrained Blood Lotus’s desire to devour them by throwing them all into a colorful barrier.
Sothing magical happened, as the elental crystals entered the barrier, they were also broken down, but into sparkling droplets of liquid. As if weightless, they were drawn towards the main body of the Bottle Gourd, slowly attaching to the roots and imdiately rging into it.
Seeing the following events, Zhang Mu’s heart skipped a beat, he clenched his fist, realizing he was right!
Indeed, the Bottle Gourd needed energy to ripen. The shimring light on its surface beca deeper, swirling with psychedelic colors. Its fluctuating breath felt heavier, as if it was eagerly yearning.
The mutant beast’s body from before had most of its energy exploited by the Blood Lotus, so its effect was minimal. Without Little Black’s reminder, Zhang Mu wouldn’t have noticed the subtle difference.
But now, Zhang Mu could clearly perceive the changes on the Bottle Gourd’s surface, all because of the handful of first-rank elental crystals he had thrown out earlier.
Energy, I need energy, and even more!
Zhang Mu looked at everything, sneered secretly, “Are mutation plants all this greedy? If you want to eat, I can give it to you, but can you really eat it all?”
Of course, the current Zhang Mu is also taking certain risks. He doesn’t know if the Bottle Gourd will naturally dissolve the colorful light shield after ripening completely.
But there was no other thod to try, this was his last hope.
If it turns out to be useless, throwing out the elental crystal would be like throwing at buns at a dog, never to return, it would truly be a heartbreaking loss. He can only hope that the colorful light shield is a self-defense chanism for Bottle Gourd during its growing stage and will disappear once it matures.
Another hundred, a thousand, two thousand…
How can it still not be enough? How much more does it need to eat?
Despite his uncertainty, Zhang Mu did not give up halfway, he directly approached the colorful light shield and poured a large amount of elental crystal from the Era rchant Ring. Watching the elental crystal being absorbed by Bottle Gourd as if it were free, Zhang Mu felt like his heart was bleeding, but he could only grit his teeth and increase the amount he put in.
As ti passed, the speed at which the colorful light shield decomposed the elental crystal began to slow down.
Is it getting saturated?
Zhang Mu saw a chance and quickly increased his speed of throwing in the elental crystals. They piled up inside the colorful light shield for the first ti, but quickly began to decrease in quantity.
However, Zhang Mu, who was eager, couldn’t match the slowed down speed due to saturation. The number of elental crystals inside the colorful light shield was steadily increasing at a stable rate, slowly accumulating.
Isn’t it about eating? Isn’t it about not eating enough? This ti, I’ll let you eat your fill!
When there were a full 14,000 pieces, the surface of the Bottle Gourd had deepened in color to a certain extent, its shape plump, with shimring lights clinging to it.
Seeing that the thrown elental crystals were no longer being broken down, Zhang Mu snorted.
“Had enough yet? I thought you could eat endlessly? Almost finished up all my resources, why stop now? I wanted to see how big your appetite and endurance really are. Turns out, not so much.”
However, the Bottle Gourd ignored his taunting words, but indeed, it had reached its absorption limit.
Zhang Mu finally got what he had been waiting for.
The colorful light shield began to disintegrate.
