Apocalypse Rebirth: Beauties Surround Me

Chapter 249: Spirit plants are maturing

"Not just one place?" Elijah was astonished, not understanding why Charlotte would think that way.

"In Chinese mythology and some ancient texts, the landscapes from ancient times are described very differently from today," Charlotte said excitedly.

"Modern people often dismiss these books as novels, thinking that ancient people exaggerated many details due to limited transportation and communication. But now, we're seeing the existence of Chi as recorded in ancient texts, and we truly have abilities similar to those described in myths.

And with the suspected appearance of the legendary Mystic Serenity Peak… could it be that some of the records in these ancient texts are also true? Might it be that, like Mystic Serenity Peak, other places were hidden for some reason and have now suddenly reappeared along with it?"

"Such an explanation could account for the increase in Chi… Unfortunately, right now all of this is just our wild guessing. To verify, we'll have to visit this so-called Serenity Peak," Elijah shrugged.

Moreover, the truth behind the zombie virus outbreak still remains unexplained. Everything ultimately depends on whether they go to Country A or the nearby Serenity Peak to investigate.

"Once we're settled in Neoville City, let's go out to sea together!" Charlotte said seriously to Elijah.

She was aware of Elijah and Fiona's general future plans and knew that it wasn't time to leave yet.

However, Charlotte had always been dedicated to cultivation and Chi, and she constantly urged everyone to train harder.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Let's go out to sea and… um, explore the truth and search for immortals!" Daisy added enthusiastically, though she inadvertently revealed her desire to go out for leisure.

Seeing Charlotte's rare serious expression, Elijah understood her determination. If he didn't go, she would likely go on her own someday.

In fact, Elijah was also curious about the so-called Serenity Peak and the truth behind the zombie virus outbreak, so he agreed without hesitation.

"Then it's settled!" Daisy said happily.

The goal for this outing was roughly accomplished.

Next, they would wait for the snow lotus spirit plants to mature and figure out what to do with the white-clad female zombie, Elena.

At present, Elena, the white-clad female zombie, was of no use. The simplest method…

As Elijah was contemplating this, a pleasant fragrance suddenly filled the air, and both Elena and Kylie, upon smelling it, immediately turned their gaze towards the lake.

Elena, the female zombie, even tried to struggle and move towards the lake.

Meanwhile, other second-tier zombies in the cafeteria also showed signs of agitation, similar to how they reacted when Elijah first encountered the dancing grass.

"Spirit plants… are maturing?" Elijah was momentarily stunned, then quickly realized.

"Kylie, restrain Elena!" Elijah said, and without waiting to see if Kylie heard him, he shot out and reached the small ice house he had made in the center of the lake.

Through the gaps in the ice wall, Elijah saw that out of the six petals of the snow lotus spirit plants enclosed inside, three had withered, and another one was on the verge of falling.

"It's really about to mature!" Elijah became nervous instantly.

The result-type spirit plants are different from zombie grass in that, shortly after the fruit matures, the plant will wither due to exhaustion of vitality. Only the fruit remains, waiting for the chosen one to consume it!

If Elijah wants to rejuvenate this spirit plant like the zombie grass, he needs to seize the critical moment.

At this time, Kylie has subdued the white-clad female zombie Elena through mental intimidation, and Abigail has restrained the impulses of other second-tier zombies, just like she did with the dancing grass.

Charlotte and Daisy then ran up behind Elijah. Stay connected with M V L

Both of them were delighted to see the snow lotus spirit plant and immediately understood what was happening!

Elijah instructed Charlotte and Daisy to stay alert and opened the small ice house, releasing a more intense fragrance that caused Charlotte and Daisy to show expressions of intoxication.

In the distance, the white-clad female zombie Elena became even more agitated.

Unfortunately, with Elijah's treatment, he had specifically chosen one hand and one foot, combined with Kylie's suppression, leaving her helpless!

Elijah didn't pause; after dismantling the ice house, he expanded the ice cavity around the snow lotus flower stalk to reveal the lake water below.

Then, Elijah used his ice abilities to freeze the water around the snow lotus flower's roots, forming a hollow circular well that surrounded the roots, allowing him to see the mud at the bottom.

This setup would facilitate his attempt to heal the snow lotus spirit plant and observe if it would rejuvenate!

As Elijah finished these preparations, only one petal of the snow lotus flower remained, which soon fell off in the presence of the three.

The snow lotus spirit plant's branch was left bare, with only a crystal-like fruit remaining.

The branch beneath the fruit visibly changed from green to yellow.

Elijah quickly switched to Bella's healing ability.

This ability, which he had solidified, was only second-tier, and he wasn't sure if it could rejuvenate this spirit plant!

Now, he could only exert all his effort and hope for success!

Energy surged from Elijah's body as he used his ability, flowing into the snow lotus flower's roots.

In Elijah's mind, the scene at the lakebed immediately appeared along the route of the energy flow.

The roots of the snow lotus flower were densely spread across the lakebed, like a massive net covering countless zombie corpses, drawing energy from them in a sinister and malevolent manner, contrasting sharply with the sacred flowers and fruit on the ice surface!

These massive roots, which had started to wither as the fruit matured, immediately seemed to struggle for survival upon receiving Elijah's healing energy, aggressively drawing energy from countless corpses, causing the corpses to visibly shrivel and shrink!

Elijah even saw roots penetrating the back of some zombies' heads, where there were glowing lights like fireflies.

These were corpse cores! But under the roots' aggressive absorption, the glow of the corpse cores quickly faded like a fleeting spark.

In the end, the vast roots covering the entire lakebed absorbed a large amount of energy and died in large areas after transmitting the energy to the connecting roots.

Only the area where the roots connected remained with a rich, luminous white energy mass, from which a vibrant young seedling emerged!

"Success!" Elijah's face brightened, but he could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground. Just moments ago, this spirit plant had nearly drained him dry!

Considering he was a third-tier ability user with a much higher energy density than a second-tier user, using a second-tier ability was quite effortless, yet he was exhausted.

If Bella had come, even if she exhausted her energy, she might not have been able to save this spirit plant!

This also confirmed for Elijah that this spirit plant was definitely superior to Crystal Grass! His advancement to the fourth tier was now within reach!
