The Law of Food Raising - 27

Chapter 27 - Fire Thorns

Walking into Courtyard No. 1, Hua Duo happened to meet Guze who had just finished sampling.

Hua Duo paused and found that Guze's face was gloomy, his clothes were torn, his hair was messy, and there were several twisted scratches on the right side of his face. Seeing Duoduo, Guze collapsed and said:

"Duoduo, why didn't you tell me that C-grade black grapes can produce intelligence? Do you know how violent it is? Isn't it just cutting a few vines and picking a few grapes? Does it have to beat me so hard?"

Hua Duo looked surprised, then looked at him apologetically, her innocent eyes making people feel soft.

"Forget it, it's not your fault." Guze slowed down and said, "Next time this happens again, you must tell me in advance. But Duoduo, are you sure this grape will not pose a threat to humans like a mutated plant?”

"No." Hua Duo replied affirmatively, "It's very good."

"Okay, I believe you." Guze touched her head. "Go back." Being able to study intelligent plants up close was really exciting, and he decided not to sleep for the next few days!

After saying goodbye to Hua Duo, Guze went to Samus' room for routine inspection.

"What's going on?" Guze couldn't help but ask when he saw the two maids standing beside the bed with strange expressions.

"Doctor Gu, sir, he..." the maid's voice trembled.

"What's wrong?" Guze walked over quickly and looked down. He almost didn't recognize the man with the strange face lying on the bed!

"Who did this?" Guze angrily shouted with a cold face, "How brave you are to offend your Excellency like this!"

A maid carefully replied: "Miss Duoduo came to visit you just now."

Hearing Duoduo's name, Guze softened, and said in a gentle tone: "It turns out to be Duoduo..."

Looking at Samus' badly painted face, Guze's mouth twitched a few times, and after holding it in for a long time, he said: "Since it was painted by Duoduo, let's not wash it for now. Look at the complexity of this facial makeup. It must have taken a lot of time. Keep it for two days to avoid hurting Duoduo's heart."

The maid looked at Guze in disbelief, thinking that she heard wrongly. What does "keep it for two days to avoid hurting Duoduo's heart?" Isn't this differential treatment too obvious? As your lord's most loyal subordinate, will this act of yours hurt your lord's heart even more?

Guze helped Samus finish the examination without changing his expression, and before leaving, he specifically warned: "Remember, don't wash it yet. It is not easy to paint such an amazing face. We must support Duoduo's creative enthusiasm."

Maid: "..." You must not be Lord Samus' loyal minister.

One day later, all the generals heard about Duoduo's feat. The number of people visiting Samus increased sharply that day, and many people took photos. The tense atmosphere dissipated a lot unconsciously.

Three days later, Della arrived in Kavos with a team of elite warriors and temporarily took over the affairs of Kavos.

At the same time, Chi Xiao also woke up from his coma and assisted Della while recuperating from his injuries. Things gradually became more orderly in Kavos.

​In the conference room.

"Wei Chen, is there no news about Rosen yet?" Della looked at Wei Chen.

Wei Chen shook his head: "No, there seems to be something in the forest that is interfering with my senses."

Della frowned: "Besides the magic mask, is there anything else that can interfere with your telepathy?"

Wei Chen remained silent.

Bai Dong said: "We have explored the forest near Kavos, but we have not entered the central area. The vegetation there is dense and very dangerous. The Royal City can trigger plant riots, probably because it has touched some advanced mutant plants in the center of the forest. "

"Advanced mutated plants." Della touched her chin, "So, Rosen and the others are probably in danger."

Everyone looked sad.

"But the same thing," Della added, "it is probably unlikely that the Royal City will trigger a second plant riot."

After being attacked, the mutant plant will enter a violent state and attack all approaching creatures indiscriminately.

Della stood up: "The most important thing right now is to strengthen the security of Kavos and investigate all suspicious elements. Then, wait for Samus to wake up."

In the past few days, Hua Duo has been replenishing her spiritual energy in Courtyard No. 1. The C-level plants have abundant spiritual energy, which temporarily alleviated her crisis.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to replenish her spiritual energy, Hua Duo carefully screened all the mutant plants that Wei Chen searched for. In order to improve efficiency, she plans to cultivate two plants at a time. As long as the seedlings are successfully cultivated, they can be handed over to others to take care of after transplanting.

Without her spiritual energy, the seedlings can grow. She does not need to strive for excellence as before, but needs to find plants that can restrain the parasitic vines as soon as possible.

For the next month, Hua Duo stayed in Courtyard No. 1 to cultivate seedlings, assisted by Guze. Since awakening, Guze's identification of medicinal herbs has improved by leaps and bounds, and he can help Duoduo conduct preliminary screening of medicinal plants.

In order to cultivate the seedlings, Duoduo's vitality is always at a critical value, replenishing and consuming at the same time, from the initial discomfort to becoming accustomed to it. What really worries her is not the consumption of spiritual energy, but the safe handling of various mutated plants.

"Be careful!" Guze broke into a cold sweat when he saw Duoduo almost being attacked by a mutated plant.

"Ah, that's a pitcher plant, a branch can choke you!"

"Don't touch it, the leaves of the konjac will k*ll you if you touch them!"

"The blood-tongued flower can eat people, let me k*ll it first."

"Screaming grass! Duoduo, cover your ears quickly...ah..."

"Oh my god, why are there color-changing stars? Just the smell can make people change color. Ah... Duoduo, what's wrong with you!" In the yard, Guze's screams could only be heard, and he looked at the previously white and tender little girl helplessly. Duoduo turned into a black man!

The two of them spent almost every day in fear. Most supernatural plants and medicinal plants are tantamount to deadly weapons for Duoduo. Although many protective measures have been taken in advance, mutant plants with changing attributes are always difficult to guard against. What's more, active rhizomes or seeds must be used to cultivate seedlings. Dying and dead mutant plants cannot be cultivated again.

For a whole month, Duoduo's nerves, skin, muscles, bones, vision, hearing, smell, etc. suffered various inhumane attacks. The poor girl relied on her tenacious willpower and vitality to successfully test thirty-six kinds of plants.

They selected a total of thirty-six species of plants, and fifteen species failed to be cultivated. Among the twenty-one species that have been successfully cultivated, nine are supernatural plants, six are medicinal plants, four are edible plants, and two are ornamental plants. Among them, eleven have reached D level, one has reached C level, and the rest are all E level.

After a month of hard work day and night, Hua Duo and Guze finally found a plant that could restrain the parasitic vine.

【Fire thorn, superpower plant, C grade, high quality, spiritual value has not been awakened, low fecundity, inedible. Function: Elemental decomposition, fusion of different arts. (There is a 32% chance of advancement)】

Mutated fire thorns are very dangerous. The juice is extremely corrosive and aggressive. It can suck the essence and blood of living creatures, spread germs, and use germ carriers to reproduce.

In order to cultivate this fire thorn, Duoduo's life hung on the line several times. The germs are extremely active, mutated during the cultivation process, and almost multiplied to cause disaster. When Duoduo's skin got a little bit of it, a large area was immediately corroded. If Guze hadn't rescued her in time, she would have turned into a pool of blood in less than half an hour.

Duoduo's eyes were swollen from crying, which made Guze feel very distressed.

"Duoduo, we won't cultivate fire thorns anymore, let's do another plant." Guze decided to give up cultivating this plant without hesitation.

Duoduo shook her head, wrapped the bandage and continued cultivating the fire thorns. The plant had cost her two days and she didn't want to give up halfway. Fortunately, she didn't give up. After successful cultivation, the fire thorn is currently the only plant that can restrain the parasitic vine.

Although cultivated fire thorns have low fecundity, they have long lifespan, fast growth rate and high element content. The special ability of the E-level Spiral Flower Fungus is a one-time use and must be regrown before it can be transformed a second time. The C-level fire thorn is completely different. As long as the energy is sufficient, it can continue to transform. The state and number of transformations depend on the user's ability.

After finding a plant that can restrain the parasitic vine, Duoduo can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

A few days later, Guze and Hua Duo decided to work together to treat Samus.

On that day, dozens of Kavos’ core members gathered in Samus' room. They stood around, waiting with bated breath.

Samus' situation cannot be treated with drugs, and the only choice is to use physical means to overcome physical symptoms. Although the aggressiveness of C-level superpower plants is lower than that of mutated plants, they should not be careless. If you are not careful, there may be backlash.

"Duoduo, I'm going to put him in the bathtub now. Can you get out first?" Guze supported Samus and turned to Duoduo who was beside him.

"Why?" Hua Duo looked confused. Didn’t we agree to treat him together? What happened to suddenly pushing her away?

"I have to take off our lord's clothes..."

"You can take it off and don't worry about me." Hua Duo waved her hand carelessly.

Guze was speechless. Is it really okay to admire a man’s naked body so blatantly?

"Stop dallying and move faster." Della urged from the side.

Guze: My Lord, I'm sorry, you are destined to be seen out today. It should be okay to be looked down upon by the two most important women in your life.

With the help of Della, Guze neatly stripped Samus naked, then put him in the bathtub and poured in the fire thorn liquid.

Watching the water in the bathtub gradually turn into light green, Della asked: "Is this okay?"

"It depends on the our lord's physical fitness and the degree of fusion with the original liquid." Guze replied, "The first seven hours are the dangerous period. We must stay by his side every step of the way, just in case."

Guze looked at Hua Duo again and asked with concern: "Can you hold on?"

Hua Duo put her hands on the edge of the tub and nodded her head up and down twice, indicating that there was no problem.

Guze touched her head, looked at Samus in the tub, and prayed secretly: Sir, please don’t let Duoduo down. In order to save you, she was almost covered with bruises...
