The Law of Food Raising - 17

Chapter 17 - Powerful Plants

More than a thousand years ago, a man named "Thuran Oya" awakened his gift of magic, led many warriors, and ended the world war that lasted for more than twenty years in one fell swoop, unifying the world. He is the first planet king in history - King Thuran.

Under King Thuran's rule, the world has entered an era of rapid development, and more and more talented people have awakened and joined Oya's camp.

King Thuran lived for nearly 400 years. He was universally recognized as the strongest warrior and was highly respected. Later generations even named the planet after him. The Oya family, which inherits the blood of King Thuran, will give birth to several outstanding talented leaders in each generation. As the magic evolves and matures, the Oya family has become the most noble and powerful ethnic group on Planet Thuran, possessing an incomparable and transcendent status. The talented families who followed them were also promoted to nobles one by one.

Until the global plant mutation occurred, the nightmare of the Oya family also came. The wildly multiplying mutant plants have caused devastating damage to the planet. Large areas of soil have been occupied, the natural atmosphere has been replaced by turbidity, and the ecological environment has rapidly deteriorated. The powers of the magicians are gradually unbalanced. The more powerful the magicians are, the greater the impact will be. Energy backlash, mental disorder, crazy violence, cannibalism... The entire planet has fallen into blood and chaos, and countless people have paid for it. A very terrible price.

The once glorious Oya royal family was turned upside down overnight. Amid the chaos, another force gradually emerged. In the name of restoring order, they hunted and k*lled the mad magicians. The nobles who followed Oya were persecuted one after another. Even if they did not become mad, they could not escape the pursuit. In just a few years, the strength of the Oya royal family was reduced by two-thirds. The new force stepped on the corpses of countless magicians and reached the pinnacle of power.

They were the new royal family - Jintila.

The Oya family lost their status as kings and became ordinary nobles, while those families that once followed them disappeared one after another. The remaining old nobles have lost their former prosperity.

Now that the Jintila royal family is in power, the world is in a period of severe polarization. The royal city centered on the Thousand Miles Tree occupies the richest land, the most advanced technology, the most powerful weapons, the most convenient transportation, the most generous life, the richest food, and the purest air; Outside the coverage area, technology is backward, the air is polluted, transportation is inconvenient, food is scarce, and they may be attacked by mutant plants at any time.

Without progress, there would be no technology. The Thousand Miles Tree is the spiritual power center and information network of Thuran, as well as the foundation and source of energy for most technologies.

All the territories combined could not compare to the resources the new royal family controlled. This is also the reason why Samus still did not dare to declare war on the Royal City easily after being persecuted. Jintila is also quite afraid of the talented blood of the Oya family and other old nobles. Coupled with their prestige in the hearts of the people, it is almost impossible to completely eliminate them.

The army in the Royal City may be invincible when near the Thousand Miles Tree, but once they leave this range, the difference in talent between them and the lords and their supporters of each party is enough to determine the outcome of the battlefield.

Perhaps because of this, the Jintila royal family did not hesitate to go against the grain and secretly implement this crazy plan. When the abilities of those with magic talents are suppressed, and even new magic users no longer appear, the entire family of Jintila, whose talent awakening is not affected at all, will completely control the world.

The harm of several edible plants has been detected one after another, and Jintila's conspiracy is clearly exposed.

"Lord Samus, I plan to return to Beitu in three days." Xiu Yi said to Samus, "This matter is of great importance. I must go back and prepare for it first."

Samus said: "Until you are not sure enough, please keep this news secret for the time being to avoid causing panic. Once the people become angry, they are likely to do something that catches us off guard."

"Yes, I understand." With Xiu Yi's hatred, he would inevitably want to rush into the Royal City immediately, let alone other people.

"I hope that after next year, natural plants can be mass-produced." Xiu Yi added, "Now natural plants are mankind's only hope, and they are also the resource guarantee against the Royal City in the future."

This is also what Samus and everyone else hopes for.

Walking into the garden with a irritable mood, the clear breath hit his face, instantly soothing his restless heart.

Samus took a deep breath and looked at the little figure of Hua Duo as it shuttled busy in the garden, like a hard-working little bee, stealing a few leaves from time to time.

A trace of warmth flashed in Samus' eyes. Who could have imagined that this weak girl in front of him would become such an important being. At a time when human beings are facing a crisis of degradation, Duoduo's appearance is like a gift from God.

She will definitely become the most dazzling person on Thuran in the future. If he wants to have her forever, he can only reach the peak that others cannot surpass and support her.

At this moment, it suddenly started to rain lightly. Hua Duo felt the raindrops hitting her skin, which was as painful as being pricked by needles. Looking down, there were red dot-like scars on her exposed arms.

She was startled and quickly ran to the corridor to take shelter from the rain. The area of ​​​​red marks on the hands slowly spread, and within tens of seconds they turned into several large scars.

"What's going on?" A big hand held her arm tightly, and Samus' angry voice came from above his head.

Looking at the red patches appearing on his fair skin, his face looked extremely ugly.

"Follow me." Samus picked up Hua Duo, moved quickly, and rushed into Guze's room.

Guze was doing experiments, but was startled by the sudden appearance of Samus, causing all his previous efforts to be wasted.

He glared over with displeasure, but when he saw Hua Duo's strange behavior, his anger instantly turned into nervousness.

"What's going on?" Guze took Hua Duo's arm and quickly checked her condition.

"She just got wet from the rain." Samus replied.

"Rainwater?" Guze's eyes widened. "Even rainwater can actually harm her? Sir, I think you should keep this endangered species next to me! It will be convenient for me to rescue her anytime and anywhere."

Samus didn't even spare him a glance, and urged: "Hurry and help her treat her."

Guze said: "I need some time. This is the first time I have encountered this situation." There is no one more delicate than Duoduo on the entire planet!

"How long will it take?" Samus felt a chill running through his body, "The red spots on Duoduo's body seem to be spreading, so you don't have much time to waste."

Guze gritted his teeth: "I'll do it as soon as possible."

At this time, Samus suddenly felt his fingers being gently pulled a few times. He lowered his head and looked at Duoduo's smiling eyes.

Hua Duo found that her skin only stung a little at first, but as the red spots spread, she felt nothing at all. This is just a small pollution that looks scary but is not actually very serious. These stains can be eliminated with energy, but in order to save energy, she decided to use otherworldly food therapy.

Hua Duo took out a bottle of grape juice from the storage bag and drank it in several sips.

After a while, Samus and Guze saw the marks on her body gradually shrinking and fading at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally disappeared without a trace.

Samus' hand slid over Duoduo's restored white skin and asked in surprise: "Black grapes still have this effect?"

He raised his head and looked at Guze, wanting to seek the answer. Unexpectedly, Guze also had a surprised expression.

Black grapes are the first natural plants cultivated by Duoduo. The fruits are sweet and delicious, rich in nutrients, and truly extraordinary. But in comparison, the golden ball that can detoxify food attracts more attention. Although Guze has detected an advance in black grapes, the specific nutritional content has not been sufficiently accurate due to limited conditions.

A few of their core characters have eaten black grapes, and apart from feeling appetizing and refreshing, no other effects have been found. Now it seems that this black grape is likely to have a higher value.

"Duoduo." Samus looked at Hua Duo with questioning eyes, "The black grapes you cultivated...?"

"Black grape can quickly eliminate new scars that are less harmful, but old scars will take anywhere from dozens of days to several months." Hua Duo replied slowly, "In addition, it can purify the air and beautify the skin. Strengthens muscles and bones and increases memory."

In fact, Hua Duo herself was surprised by the efficacy of alien plants. Not only was it full of spiritual energy, but the effect was also obvious. For example, the golden ball, as a common medicinal plant, can actively clean up food poisons in living organisms.

Plants will evolve to varying degrees after mutation, which may be one of the reasons why they have different effects after being transformed into natural plants.

Samus and Guze looked at each other and asked, "Does black grape really have these effects? To what extent can it be achieved?"

Hua Duo thought for a while and said, "If I eat it continuously for a year, I shouldn't have to worry about the damage from rain."

Surprise flashed in Samus' eyes.

It was rare for Hua Duo to say so many words, so she simply said it all at once: "If Black Grape advances to the next level, it can also improve mental power and extend life."

The mutated plants of Thuran were very harmful to Hua Duo, but the natural plants she cultivated were not as effective on her as to the people of Thuran.

"Improve mental power?" Samus and Guze said in unison. The alien magic of Thuran depends on the level of mental power. Improving mental power means increasing the chance of awakening and advancing the magic.

Hua Duo nodded.

"So, how about the golden balls, cabbages, orchid leaves and thorn melons?" Samus asked with a heavy breath.

"Cabbages,  orchid leaves and thorn melons are all green fruits and vegetables. Their effects are similar to those of black grapes, but their effects are not as obvious as those of advanced black grapes. The golden ball is a medicinal plant that can detoxify food, reduce inflammation and heat, and treat boils. It can treat sores, skin ulcers, eye diseases, and bites from poisonous insects and snakes, etc. Moreover, it has the function of actively detoxifying.”

Guze's eyes lit up and he said, "Sir, we can look for more medicinal plants, and there may be one of them that can solve the parasitic vine on your body."

Although it is not life-threatening for the time being, its existence is always a hidden danger. Once it breaks out, even as powerful as Samus, he will inevitably die.

"I'm afraid... it's a bit difficult." Hua Duo looked at Samus and said hesitantly: "I divide plants into six levels: S, A, B, C, D, and E. The only natural plants currently cultivated are black grapes. It has reached D level, and the others are E level, and the parasitic vine is a B level supernatural plant."

"Superpower plant?" Duoduo either didn't speak, but once she spoke, she conveyed so much information. Samus and Guze had a hunch that what they heard next might break their usual understanding.
