Fang Yuyang thought about it and felt that what Fang Yuxin said was right. Not to mention Bai Ye, Chen Qiao and the others could be considered loyal, and they even risked coming out with them this time, so it was indeed appropriate to share some spiritual spring water with them.
However, he was worried that Fang Yuxin was too soft-hearted, so he couldn’t help but warn her, "You can give them the spiritual spring water, but you must not mention anything about the Qingmu Spiritual Mansion!"
To ensure that no one else would overhear, he deliberately transmitted his voice to Fang Yuxin.
Fang Yuxin didn’t speak but nodded solemnly, also transmitting her voice, "Brother, don’t worry, I will never reveal anything about the Qingmu Spiritual Mansion!"
Fang Yuyang saw that she didn’t seem to be lying and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
By now, the two had reached a house. Without speaking further, they first scanned the house with their Spiritual Sense, then directly entered, gathering all the edible items inside.
In this manner, they went from house to house, and time quickly passed. When they arrived in front of a two-story building, Fang Yuxin suddenly froze.
On the fence of the small building, large patches of pink roses were growing. The flowers were blooming beautifully without any signs of wilting and looked very tempting.
Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang stopped at a distance, watching the rose flowers with wary expressions.
The air was filled with the sweet, enticing scent of rose, with pink petals layered upon each other, tempting one to immerse in this dreamy sea of flowers.
But the two were not tempted at all; instead, they were very cautious.
Fang Yuyang transmitted his voice, "Xinxin, it’s probably a mutant plant. Let me test it!"
Fang Yuxin immediately advised, "Brother, be careful! If it can grow so lush, it’s probably not simple."
Fang Yuyang smiled confidently and waved his hand, releasing several Wind Blades. Since it was just a test, each Wind Blade was only the size of a palm, and not very powerful.
The Wind Blades shot towards the beautiful rose flowers. The next moment, the green leaves suddenly enlarged, blocking the Wind Blades. The Wind Blades hit the enlarged leaves and gradually dissipated without breaking through the leaves’ defense. The leaves then quickly shrank back to their original size.
Fang Yuyang glanced at Fang Yuxin, frowning as he transmitted his voice, "This rose is at least Level 2, it’s advancing so quickly!"
But Fang Yuxin asserted, "No, it’s already close to Level 3, and just one step away from advancing."
Mutant plants have a benefit: they are closer to nature, can draw energy from the soil, air, or even flesh and blood, and don’t need to worry about hitting a bottleneck during advancement. As long as their stored energy reaches the limit, they can advance.
However, plants are still plants; they are not as intelligent as humans and cannot comprehend complex skills. Compared to humans, their means of facing enemies are very straightforward.
Fang Yuxin really liked this mutated rose in front of her, not only because of its high level but also because the rose was a climbing plant, covered in sharp thorns. Once tamed, it could become a powerful weapon in her hands!
Thinking this, Fang Yuxin said to Fang Yuyang, "Brother, continue attacking it with Wind Blades!"
Mutant plants, although not as intelligent as mutant animals, were not easy to tame. Thus, Fang Yuxin decided to soften it up with force before taming it using Wood Energy as bait.
Hearing Fang Yuxin’s words, Fang Yuyang immediately released several Wind Blades half a meter long, striking at the mutated rose. It clearly sensed that this attack was stronger than the previous ones and quickly transformed its body.
In the blink of an eye, what seemed to be an ordinary rose grew larger, its branches as thick as an adult’s arm, and even sprouted palm-length sharp spikes. The green leaves became large and tough, with very sharp serrated edges.
Simultaneously, the beautiful rose flowers grew as large as wash basins, with yellow pistils that opened small mouths at the top. Though not ferocious-looking, they still gave the siblings the impression that they would be difficult to deal with.
Looking at those pistils, they were immediately reminded of a mosquito’s proboscis. They didn’t know if these pistils could suck blood like a mosquito’s, but just the thought of it sent chills down their spines.
The transformation of the mutated rose occurred in a short time, nearly in the blink of an eye. When the Wind Blades struck, the large and tough leaves immediately formed a dense shield wall, blocking the Wind Blades.
However, these Wind Blades were not the same as the previous ones! The Wind Blades cut through the leaves, quickly slicing them open and leaving deep wounds on their branches!
Regrettably, the branches were very resilient and tough, and despite the leaves’ blockage, the Wind Blades couldn’t sever them completely but instead left wounds and dissipated as their energy was exhausted.
Green sap flowed from the wounds, emitting a sweeter and richer scent than the flowers, but unlike the floral scent, it had a refreshing fragrance mixed in.
Fang Yuyang was about to release more Wind Blades when the rose plant started trembling non-stop and began telepathically begging the siblings for mercy!
"Spare... spare me..."
While begging, it opened its petals, releasing an even sweeter scent. As the fragrance in the air grew stronger, the siblings noticed that their surroundings started to change!
The two were immediately alarmed; this mutated rose had the capability to create illusions!
Not only that, Fang Yuxin’s Spiritual Sense detected that the plant’s roots were continuously spreading towards their feet, clearly attempting a sneak attack.
Such a cunning plant!
Fang Yuxin immediately pulled Fang Yuyang back, and just as they retreated, a fierce and sharp wooden thorn drilled out from their original position!
