Chapter 165 Ghost Vine Plantation
Xiao Yang did not return directly to the city of Kara, but flew to the riverbank area east of the port.
This is the ghost vine plantation of Zhutian Garbage Recycling Company.
Looking down from the sky, there are patches of purple-black small squares on the edge of the riverbank.
Each small square is a row of purple-black vines, swaying in the moist and slightly smelly river breeze.
And in the gaps between the rows of vines, there are two-meter-deep ditches filled with unidentifiable bones.
This is an improved ridge method specially invented for the habits of ghost vines.
When the staff feeds the ghost vines, they only need to throw the bones into these ditches and attach a thin layer of soil. The roots of the ghost vines will automatically extend over and absorb the nutrients inside.
However, it takes great care to feed these vines. They are not ordinary plants, but soul beasts with strong aggressiveness. If you are not careful, you can easily be entangled by the vines.
Because of the special nature of the ghost vines, the staff of the plantation do not need to worry about wild mutants destroying the ghost vines or stealing the food of the ghost vines.
What needs to be guarded against are those evolvers with strange abilities.
Because of the popularity of ghost mushrooms, many people have turned their attention to this plantation.
There is no way. The cultivation of ghost vines will inevitably occupy a large amount of land, which is really impossible to conceal. It is easy to associate it with the relationship between ghost vines and ghost mushrooms.
Many caravans are very curious about this fast-growing plant. There are often thieves sneaking in and trying to steal ghost vines, which makes people hard to guard against.
For this reason, Finkel also placed several precious infrared monitoring devices picked up from the robot No. 1 garbage point around these plantations.
The guards of the plantation are mostly earth escape mutants who have awakened by eating Gadi meat. Mark's training ground is also stationed in this place to guard against underground attacks.
In addition, Iron Ox Amu was also placed here to guard the safety of the plantation at all times.
When Xiao Yang arrived, he saw this cow squatting by the river, swinging its tail to fish.
What makes people speechless is that it really caught it.
It hooked its tail at the right time, and a fat garbage fish jumped out from the bottom of the river and fell into its mouth.
"Moo?"
Amu saw Smaug falling from the sky, so he jumped up and rushed over with his hooves.
Xiao Yang rode the dragon and landed in a field that was different from the surrounding fields. This was the experimental field of the garbage recycling company.
The ghost vine planted in it was obviously different from the ordinary ghost vine. It showed a light purple color, not as black as the ordinary ghost vine, and there were fewer thorns on the vine.
In addition, there were many other plants.
"Boss, you are here."
Tang Chuan, who was in charge of agriculture, ran over from the field, followed by several staff members, all of whom were precious plant-based supernaturalists that Xiao Yang had dug up at a high price.
In addition, Tina was also here.
"Well, I'll give you something and take a look at the cultivation results by the way?"
Xiao Yang took a look at the light purple ghost vine and asked.
"Are these the latest varieties?"
"Yes, it's the seventh generation of improved varieties."
"How is the toxicity?"
"This... has not yet achieved the expected effect. It still has weak toxicity. Although it is not fatal, the neurotoxins in it will still cause harm to the human body. However, the bulb is 50% larger than the ordinary ghost vine."
Tang Chuan was a little frustrated. Their ultimate goal is to cultivate a high-yield ghost vine with non-toxic bulbs. The current products have not yet reached the cultivation standard.
"Is that so?"
Xiao Yang frowned.
"It's not that easy to cultivate new species, but it should take a few more generations to get results."
Tina was a little speechless. This is only the seventh generation.
"I am a little impatient. What about other plants? Did the iron peas sprout?"
The iron peas in Xiao Yang's mouth refer to the peas spit out by the pea shooter. In addition to the ghost vine improvement project, the plantation test field also has other world plant cultivation experiments.
For example, the fairy peach from the Fox Demon World, the purple smoke fruit from the Doupo World, the Hippocut grass from the Slime World, and various seeds collected from the garbage dump of the Supernatural World. Even the blue silver grass from the Douluo World has been tried...
Tina shook her head when she heard Xiao Yang's question.
"For some reason, the iron pea has never sprouted. Even with the supernatural power, there is no reaction at all. Perhaps there are necessary conditions for the germination of this plant."
"Is that so?"
Xiao Yang guessed that the so-called necessary conditions might be the sunlight produced by the luminous sunflower. After all, in the world of Plants vs. Zombies, sunlight must be consumed to grow crops.
Perhaps the evolvers in Pea City have monopolized the sunflower, so they are not worried about other plants leaking out.
"Well, let's try to see if strong light irradiation works. If not, forget it."
Although the planting of the iron pea failed, the other plants survived, but most of them were planted in the devil worm feces, hanging on by the spirit core.
"Ordinary plants are fine, but these key spiritual plants have extremely high requirements for energy concentration. Ordinary soil environments cannot meet their living conditions at all. Some plants even have requirements for the properties of spiritual cores."
Tina pointed to a purple seedling.
"For example, this purple smoke fruit requires a fire-attribute spiritual core."
Xiao Yang glanced at the drooping peach tree and sighed.
"Forget it, let's keep these plants like this for now. Maybe we'll have a way after collecting the complete array diagram. Let's deal with these things first."
Xiao Yang waved his hand.
One, two, three, four...
When the bodies of more than a dozen mutant creatures piled up high in Tangchuan's devil vine plantation, everyone was stunned.
"Oh my God, boss, did you kill all these?"
"It's okay, just fourth-level creatures."
"I also want to evolve to the fourth level as soon as possible."
"Wake up, even if you become a world superpower, you can't kill creatures of the same level like slaughtering dogs like the boss."
"Okay, don't stand there stupidly, come and help me dig out these spirit cores."
"I'll do it, let me do it, don't grab it from me."
Everyone rushed forward, even the usually gentle Tina was very excited, they haven't dug up the fourth-level spirit core yet, although these spirit cores don't belong to them.
After digging out the spirit cores, this pile of creatures' corpses can feed many ghost vines, and also make Amu's body grow stronger.
"Moo."
Amu had a bite of dog meat on the left and a bite of snake gall on the right, eating happily.
The hard bones of the mutant creatures were like popsicles in his mouth, and they made a creaking sound when he bit them. It seemed that his teeth had become better after eating the corpse of the Heart-Enlightening Ghost, which made Smaug very jealous.
But Amu was not the kind of cow that eats alone. He dragged out a spider as big as a house, threw it to Smaug, and mooed a few times, indicating that he should eat it together.
"It's for you, just eat it."
Smaug looked at Xiao Yang cautiously, and after getting his permission, he also ate happily.
