67 An Unexpected Harves

Long Yu's figure blurred as he quickly arrived beside Xixi. He then snatched the thing out of her hands, afraid that it could be potentially dangerous.

"Xixi, stop randomly touching things, they might be dangerous!" He lightly flicked her forehead with his bare index finger.

"Uuuu…" the little girl rubbed her slightly reddened forehead while pouting her small lips.

At this moment, Long Yu suddenly heard a voice in his mind.

[Low level special item detected. Exchange for information?]

"What the…." This completely caught him off guard. It had been quite a while since the system gave him an exchange notification on its own accord.

'Exchange!' he replied to the system with anticipation. Considering the response of the system, the red object in his hand must be relatively valuable.

[Healing Blood Fruit] (Consumable)

[A special fruit formed from the amalgamation of blood essence from numerous successfully mutated beings. After being nurtured by the mutant seed inside the vampire plant, the fruit has gained some of its special properties.]

[Special Properties:

-Accelerates the growth of a user's special ability by a small margin. This effect will decrease with each consumption of a blood healing fruit.

'Good stuff!' Long Yu exclaimed in his mind.

This was an unexpected harvest. He initially only came for the mutant seed. Who knew the plant would also gift him with something valuable.

As he brought the red baby palm sized fruit closer to his face, he could smell a delicate yet stimulating aroma tickling his nose.

"Big brother, I smell another one nearby!" Xixi suddenly said. She had ran off again while Long Yu was distracted.

'This girl….' Long Yu was speechless. Whenever it came to food, her nose was even keener than an animal's.

After sweeping through the forest of leaves, the both of them ended up gathering a total of nine blood healing fruits.

During this process, they also found numerous transparent giant egg shaped sacks filled with dark red blood. These sacks were wrapped in a sticky substance similar to gel. Inside, one could see the outline of dried up corpses. Long Yu assumed that these things were probably the blood bags that the vampire plant used to recover itself.

It was a disturbing sight, so he quickly got rid of them before they could traumatise the little child any further.

Incidentally, like mutant meat, the blood healing fruits could not be stored inside the system. So, Long Yu had to carry them inside a backpack instead.

Additionally, although the fruits were valuable, there was no point of trading them to the system. The best he would get for the fruits was only yuan currency. Therefore, Long Yu naturally decided to keep them instead.

Of course, that was not to say that the fruit has lower value than a level 1 mutant core. Its special healing property that could heal any internal or external wounds quickly could be said to be magical.

The low level healing items in the system that could be exchanged with money, could only boost the recovery rate of internal injuries by a small extent. They could not allow a person who suffered a serious injury to jump straight back into battle.

In other words, the blood healing fruit was a very useful item. It was just that the exchange system would depreciate the value of any outside item that is traded to it. In this aspect, Long Yu could not do anything about it.

After making sure that there were no other valuable items that could be harvested from the vampire plant, he burned it entirely. This was because it was too massive to be traded, and they needed to get rid of it in order to make a path to drive out of the city.

Long Yu took one last look at the tall burning flames before bringing Xixi back into the car. He estimated that the dried up plant would turn into ashes by tomorrow.

*Clack*

Li Xue Lan who was restlessly waiting, was frightened by the sound of the door opening.

A male figure alongside a small child directly entered the RV.

"You're back!" she quickly greeted them. She was worried when she heard Long Yu mention about going out to deal with the colossal vampire tree.

She could not help but think, "The entity that annihilated her entire survivor group, could it really be killed?"

Although she was not sure if Long Yu was successful, she was glad that they returned safe and sound.

"Mm, we somehow managed to take it down. If nothing else goes wrong, we should be able to leave the city by tomorrow." Long Yu replied with a bit of tiredness in his voice.

"Ah?!" Li Xue Lan was so shocked her jaw almost dropped. She truly hadn't expect to hear such a thing.

One must know that the vampire plant was massive enough to stand tall even amongst the mass of skyscrapers in the city. Not to mention that it could also take the initiative to capture its prey.

Unless one had powerful enough bombs and missiles, it was unlikely to kill it through normal means. Nevertheless, the young man managed to accomplish it alone.

'Perhaps he has an extremely strong special ability…' she silently thought in her mind.

Even though she was curious, she decided not to ask how he did it. Everyone has their own secrets after all.
