Chapter 121: Chapter 104: A Harmony of All Things, A Beauty Too Great to Endure (Third Update)_1

“Before you is the Botanic Garden’s seed vault. Unfortunately, all the seeds here have been contaminated by bioweapons.”

“The bioweapon that attacked this place used a method of DNA blending. The DNA of plants and animals fused at that moment, resulting in the birth of a peculiar species of animal-plant hybrids. I advise you to be very careful when using these seeds; do not let an attack by the animal-plants cost you your life.”

As Fang Cheng listened to Alpha’s explanation, he began to remove the seeds from the storage.

Despite the long passage of time, these seeds were all stored at temperatures close to absolute zero, combined with dry conditions for preservation, and astonishingly, they still retained their vitality.

After detecting the seeds in Fang Cheng’s hand, the sprite Alpha conducted a brief check and then said, “The speculation is that it’s a combination of green plants and terrifying beasts; that kind of beast has a fearsome physique, chilling teeth, and a sharp nose that can recognize over a hundred thousand smells. It possesses a pathological loyalty to its owner and will shred any enemy that approaches.”

Injecting Mana into the seed, the seed began to grow at a surprising rate under the stimulus of Mana, soon maturing into a ten-pound cabbage.

However, unlike ordinary cabbages, it also exhibited distinct animal traits.

Some of its leaves turned into tails, and it grew green facial features on its face. Its slightly bloated body looked somewhat cute, and it would occasionally let out a pleasing “woof woof” sound.

As soon as it had grown, it started running around Fang Cheng excitedly, occasionally pausing to rub against Fang Cheng, showing its affection for him.

Staring at it for a while, Fang Cheng asked in confusion, “This thing seems like a dog, doesn’t it?”

Next to him, Tian Xuan nodded vigorously.

“Don’t be fooled by its appearance.” Alpha spoke earnestly, “This is the first form of the bioweapon. It has a second form. Once it accumulates enough combat experience, it can evolve and take on the second form.”

“They are bioweapons, with strong learning capabilities and intelligence similar to an eight-year-old child. They probably understood what you did just now,” explained Alpha from the side.

“Its aggression has increased... What is the mimic state like?”

Understanding Fang Cheng’s command, the vegetable dog promptly leapt to the roadside, dug a hole in the ground, and quickly buried itself in it.

Next, it stretched its tail out of the hole, and in an instant, the fluffy tail transformed into a plant that you absolutely couldn’t find on Earth.

It looked just like a half-meter-tall weed resembling a healthy dandelion, with each strand of hair splitting into fluffy filaments that even flickered with an icy, crystal-like white light.

Inside the hole, the vegetable dog could put itself to sleep, and from the outside, its tail appeared merely as an ordinary but unusually attractive plant to Earthlings.

Moreover, Fang Cheng could feel a hint of Spiritual Energy in the creature’s mimicked state.

Many creatures passively inhale and exhale Spiritual Energy, but far fewer accumulate it within themselves to eventually turn it into Spirituality.

Although all these little creatures are bioweapons, the fusion of animal and plant traits seemed to make it easier for them to accumulate Spirituality, thus enhancing their physique even more.

Rounding up, these plants are also Spirit Grass!

Thinking this way made planting them even more delightful.

Beyond the vegetable dog, the storage contained a large number of plant seeds.

When Fang Cheng inquired why there was a need to store so many seeds, Alpha immediately responded, “Storing plant seeds is a tradition of the Botanic Garden, maintaining species diversity is one of the missions of the Botanic Garden, it’s something that has to be done.”
