The Ridge of White Snake was heavily guarded. Every path was guarded by mutants.
Needless to say, the mysterious little tree was inside. Celestial Biology was worried that something might happen to it.
"I'll climb the cliff. I don't believe I can't get in." Chu Feng turned around and glanced at Yellow Cattle. His meaning was: Can you do it?
Yellow Cattle stood up proudly. He stood up straight and performed a round of punches. Not only was his posture vigorous, but his body was also agile and swift.
They moved stealthily, sticking close to the forest until they reached a precipice. With Chu Feng's current skills, it was not a problem for him to climb up.
Suddenly, he stopped and said, "Ordinary mutants can also climb up. Celestial Biology must have taken precautions. This place might be even more dangerous."
After stopping, he raised his head and looked carefully at the precipice. It was very steep and barren because the whole brown mountain was made of stone.
Chu Feng was startled as he discovered some clues.
"That's ruthless!"
He saw cracks on the cliff and traces of damage on the mountain. Although they had been cleaned up, he could still tell if he looked carefully.
"It was once bombed by a rocket launcher!"
He even saw a small bloodstain on the precipice, but it had long dried up. It was now dark red, revealing that something had happened here.
Some mutants had tried to climb the cliff here, but they were bombarded by firearms!
Chu Feng and Yellow Cattle retreated. Although they might not be able to kill him, now was not the time to act rashly and alert the enemy.
The Ridge of White Snake was very big. He did not believe that there was no way in. If they really wanted to lock down the whole area, how many mutants and firearms would Celestial Biology have to use?
Along the way, he saw more than ten groups of mutants hiding in the depths of the Ridge of White Snake.
Chu Feng estimated that there were more than a hundred mutants in this area. It had become a whirlpool of trouble. It was very dangerous. Once the fuse was lit, there would be a war!
Some of the mountain peaks and valleys were stained with blood. There were broken horns and silver scales. These belonged to the mutants.
"There was a fierce battle here. It seems like this place is not peaceful."
This was just the beginning. When the fruit ripened, it would be even more tragic. Chu Feng sighed. It seemed like it would be too difficult to rise in the battle of the mutants and monopolize the fruit.
After all, there were a lot of mutants!
This mysterious area was not small. Sure enough, there were some places that could be entered and exited. No matter how strong Celestial Biology was, it could not be completely sealed off.
Some Mutants could approach from such a place to investigate the situation.
Chu Feng managed to sneak in, but he was even more careful now. He moved cautiously through the jungle.
The White Snake Ridge, as the name suggested, belonged to the mountain region. The mountains here formed a large stretch, and it was rumored that there was a large snake hibernating in this area.
In this mountainous region, there was a piece of open land. The terrain was gentle, and the ancient trees were huge, but very sparse. Some mutants were rushing towards that place.
Chu Feng also arrived. At a glance, there were a few old ginkgo trees. They were all hundreds of years old. The bark was cracked, and the trunk was so thick that it would take several people to wrap their arms around it.
"So many wolves?" Chu Feng was surprised.
There was a fishy smell in this mountainous region, which was unique to wild beasts. In front of him, there were nearly a hundred green wolves, each baring their snow-white fangs.
They were guarding this place. Did they want to fight for it?
Two of the wolves were very special. One had a wide mouth and fangs. It was bigger than the average green wolf, and it was as strong as a bull. The strangest thing was that the surface of its body was not made of fur, but stone.
It looked like a stone wolf!
Obviously, this wolf had mutated!
The other wolf was even more special. It was as big as a house, and its whole body was bronze. It flashed with a cold metallic luster. When it opened its huge mouth, it was terrifying. Even the insides were made of metal, such as its fangs.
"Metal wolf?" Chu Feng was stunned.
The two wolves had mutated like humans. It was possible that they had eaten some mysterious fruit, which led to a strange evolution and a sharp increase in their strength.
They had led the pack of wolves to guard this place. It was obvious that they were waiting for the fruits on the strange tree to ripen.
Chu Feng changed his position and finally saw the small tree. It had been blocked by an ancient ginkgo tree.
This was a very short pine tree, only about 1.2 meters tall. It had not been more than two years since it had broken out of the soil. However, it had mutated and was now completely green.
This small pine tree was growing well. It was lustrous and full of vitality. One could feel its exuberant vitality from far away.
There was a pine cone on the tree, which was also known as a pine cone. Inside it were pine nuts.
A small part of this pine cone was tender green, while the majority was purple gold. It was very special.
The tender green part was more like an ordinary pine cone. The purple gold part was like metal and occasionally overflowed with multicolored light.
Such a small pine tree could not bear fruit normally. However, this mutated pine tree defied common sense. There was a lustrous green light flowing all over its body.
Anyone who saw it would know that this small tree was not ordinary.
Moreover, the pine cone on the tree was as big as an adult's fist. It was far bigger than a normal pine cone. It was hard not to notice the purple gold light.
The pine cone had not cracked yet, but a light fragrance had already permeated the air.
"It seems that the pine cone will crack in a few days. As long as the tender green part also turns purple gold and blooms purple light, it will be considered ripe!" Chu Feng's eyes were blazing with excitement.
The mutants were very cautious. They were waiting for the fruit to ripen. No one made a move in advance. They were afraid of interrupting the fruit's transformation at the last moment. The wolves were the same. They were very patient.
"There are corpses?"
Chu Feng was puzzled. In the grass not far from the small tree, there were many corpses. There were many mutants, but there were also the remains of beasts.
"What happened?" There were no wounds. The corpses were purplish black. He suspected that they had been poisoned.
"Be careful. This place is very strange. I don't know why, but once you step within ten meters of the tree, you will be poisoned. There is no cure. Even some of the mutants have died."
"Celestial Biology was the first to discover this place. They were the first to be poisoned, but they kept it a secret. This place was once a dead zone."
Obviously, there were other mutants spying on them in the vicinity. Although the words were soft, Chu Feng's sharp hearing allowed him to hear them clearly.
"I've heard about it too. There was once a master from Bodhi Biogenetics who tried to force his way in. He died a horrible death!"
"Let's go. We've seen it with our own eyes. We can't stay here for long. If we're discovered, the consequences will be dire. Let's wait for the pine cone to ripen!"
The mutants whispered. They suspected that Celestial Biology was purposely letting their guard down. In fact, everything was under their control. There was a high possibility that they were watching from the shadows.
The mutants left cautiously.
"Can we dig out the roots and plant them somewhere else?" Chu Feng asked Yellow Cow.
The Bull Demon shook his head. He stared at the small tree with fervent eyes. It was obvious that the tree was very attractive to him. He wanted to eat it in one bite.
"Transplant it before it ripens. The fruit will melt." Yellow Cow wrote on the ground.
Chu Feng gave up on the idea of taking the risk.
At the same time, he felt that what the mutants said made sense. Celestial Biology must have a trump card. This place was abnormally quiet.
Chu Feng stood in the dark for a long time. Suddenly, he heard a cracking sound from afar. A piece of rock on the ground was pushed away, revealing a crack. There was a mutant peeping!
There was someone underground?!
Chu Feng was shocked. He was afraid that the mountain had been hollowed out. Everything was under the control of Celestial Biology.
He looked at the mountains. They were like giant beasts that wanted to devour people. They were ferocious and horrifying.
"I need to leave now. I feel nervous staying here. It seems that Celestial Biology is determined to get it." Chu Feng turned around and left quietly.
Yellow Cow had always been alert. After coming to this open space, it also felt that it was dangerous and did not want to stay for long.
"It's too difficult. It's impossible to snatch food from the tiger's mouth. However, at the very least, I have to dig out the strange soil under the pine tree!"
This was the minimum goal that Chu Feng had set for himself.
It could be expected that the soil under the roots of the mutant tree would be even more special.
All the mutants wanted to fight for the pine cone. Presumably, only a few would pay attention to the soil under the roots. That would be Chu Feng's chance.
Chu Feng wandered around the mountain. Finally, he moved all the rocket launchers and other things that he had seized earlier and hid them in different areas outside the White Snake Ridge.
"If I can get it, I will escape along this road. Whoever dares to chase after me, I will use the rocket launcher to kill them first!"
He was more familiar with the Taihang Mountains, so he carefully selected the escape route.
Later, Chu Feng embarked on his return journey. However, he did not go home directly. Instead, he went to the mountain pass where he first met Yellow Cow.
Zhou Quan once dug up a grass that bore bright red fruits. It was because of this opportunity that he gained the ability to melt gold and melt rocks.
Yellow Cow wanted to rob the grass when it first saw it. However, in the end, it only swallowed the leaves of the grass and left the roots on the ground.
"Found it!"
Chu Feng was pleasantly surprised. He really found it in this place. The roots of the grass had not dried up yet. It was only because the roots were wrapped around a small piece of soil. The soil was the size of a fingernail. It was light green and slightly crystal clear.
He had collected five small pieces of special soil. He believed that the three seeds in his house could take root and sprout sooner.
Not long after, Chu Feng returned home. The first thing he did was to loosen the soil and fertilize it. He buried a small piece of soil under each seed and waited for the tender shoots to emerge.
There were still two left, but he did not dare to put them all in. He was worried that going too far would be as bad as not going far enough.
"Queen Mother Of West, Goddess of the Ninth Heaven, please grow them soon!" He murmured.
Chu Feng took out a stone box and prepared to use it to store the remaining two pieces of soil.
This was the mysterious stone box he obtained from the foot of the Kunlun Mountains. The three seeds were stored inside.
The stone box was three inches high and square. However, after opening it, there was only a groove inside, which could barely fit the three seeds. It was not suitable to store other things.
Chu Feng held the black dagger in his hand. He was ready to dig a bit and expand the space. It would be specially used to store the special soil in the future.
Sure enough, the dagger was sharp. The stone material in the box was easily cut open and a lot of it was dug out. The space inside suddenly became bigger.
Ding!
Suddenly, the black dagger touched the edge of the stone box and made a crisp sound. It could not be cut open.
Chu Feng was surprised. He stared at the stone box carefully, but his hands did not stop. He dug enough space and found that the edge of the stone box was extremely hard. Even the dagger could not damage it.
After cleaning it up, he picked up the stone box and found some blurry patterns on the inner wall. Was it man-made or natural?
Soon, he realized that this was the original appearance of the stone box. The stone in the middle was filled in. The stone material was very ordinary and could be cut open by a dagger.
The real stone box was made of a mysterious material. Even the black dagger could not damage it.
Yellow Cattle came closer. It looked at the stone box and the excavated stone material on the ground with a solemn expression.
It lowered its head and picked up the stone box with its hooves. It studied it carefully and crushed some of the excavated stone material. It put it in its mouth and tasted it. In an instant, it was moved!
It wrote a line of words on the ground.
At the same time, Chu Feng's communicator rang. When it was connected, Linnoy's voice came through. It was simple and plain. "I will go to Mount Taihang tomorrow."
