In no time, the tiny buds had grown into flourishing branches, then sprouted leaves, followed by small flower buds forming at the head of the flower.
The flower buds grew longer and redder, and soon a red flower, similar to a bamboo tube flower, slowly bloomed.
Its roots also absorbed the surrounding ash nutrients at this moment, and a faint floral scent slowly wafted away, quietly waiting for the bees to come and pollinate it.
Bai Junjun seized the opportunity to extract the water from inside the drooping tube flower.
Drop by drop, an orange-red liquid rose into the air.
Li Wenli then opened an empty cup, and in no time, it was filled with a large jar.
The drooping tube flower, having its juice extracted, instantly wilted.
Upon smelling the scent of the energy enhancement liquid, Li Wenli became excited.
This... had about seventy to eighty percent similarity to the fire-series ability enhancers he had tasted in the future.
Li Wenli glanced at Bai Junjun,, said nothing, and just raised his hand to drink the booster.
The fire-series ability enhancer didn’t have much effect on Bai Junjun, and extracting it didn’t take much effort, so Bai Junjun didn’t mind.
As Li Wenli drank the booster and sat meditating to stimulate his dormant fire-series ability, Bai Junjun also began studying the small drooping tube flower.
Thinking about the effortless connection she had with the drooping tube flower just earlier, Bai Junjun casually plucked one only to find its roots extremely long.
It took her a long time to completely pull the roots out from the rocks.
Moreover, the roots were quite tough; she used a stone awl to grind them for a long time, yet she still could not break them.
Remembering the loss of her protective vines due to the boa, Bai Junjun started thinking about acquiring a new weapon.
She activated her special ability and connected with the drooping tube flower, and on impulse, the long drooping tube flower suddenly moved.
The flower and roots intertwined, and in no time, turned into a beautiful floral wristband that wrapped around Bai Junjun’s wrist.
The green leaves, red flowers, and brown roots, paired with her fair and delicate wrist, looked quite beautiful.
Accidentally acquiring a weapon lifted Bai Junjun’s spirits, making this adventure seem quite worthwhile.
This was, after all, a drooping tube flower forged by thousand-year magma, tough and fire-resistant; she was somewhat eager to test its power.
Unfortunately, the boa had already been sent away by the fox.
Bai Junjun found herself inexplicably missing the bull sharks in the water area, wondering if their thick skin was also resistant to cutting.
About a Chinese Time later, when Bai Junjun had almost filled a bag with diamonds, Li Wenli finally slowly opened his eyes.
Seeing him awake from meditation, Bai Junjun couldn’t help but ask curiously, "Did it work?"
"Yeah." Li Wenli promptly stood up: "I’m going down now."
Li Wenli slowly rotated his wrists and ankles, continuously doing warm-up exercises, while Bai Junjun silently gave a thumbs up.
"Good luck, pioneer of humanity."
After all, there really weren’t many daring to search a volcano with their bare bodies.
Li Wenli chuckled: "You’ll need to help."
"?" Bai Junjun looked puzzled: "Do you want me to go down with you?"
Since she didn’t possess fire-series abilities, going down would mean turning into a puff of smoke.
"I need your vines," Li Wenli pointed at the pretty floral wristband on her hand.
"Drooping tube flower resists high temperatures, making it perfect as a life-saving rope."
Bai Junjun was speechless; wasn’t he supposed to be meditating with his eyes closed just now? How did he know she had made a floral wristband?
Yet, complaints aside, Bai Junjun could only silently bring out the handy tool.
