As Yue Zhong expected, the Type 2 Mutant Water Snake had precisely been guarding the scarlet fruit, waiting for it to mature. If it had been successful in swallowing the matured scarlet fruit, it could continue evolving to eventually become a Type 3 Mutant Beast. It was just that the strange scarlet fruit hadn’t completely matured yet, and the Type 2 Mutant Water Snake just happened to meet its end at Yue Zhong’s hands.
In reality, the strange scarlet fruit that Yue Zhong had consumed still hadn’t fully matured; otherwise, if it had, it would have benefited his evolution a whole lot more.
After guessing how this matter came about, Yue Zhong immediately plucked the remaining 6 fruits and placed them into his Storage Ring. He did not know if there would be another chance for him to wait for these fruits to ripen, and so the best choice was for him to pluck these half-ripened fruits right now; even though the effects from eating them certainly wouldn’t be as effective, it was still better to have them kept safely with him.
“Since these fruits were obtained from fighting the Mutant Water Snakes, I shall call them ‘Snake Birth Fruits’. These Snake Birth Fruit flowers might also be useful towards evolution- I’ll get someone to pluck all of them later.”
Yue Zhong glanced at the pink flowers that covered the entire Snake Birth Fruit Tree, before climbing down nimbly.
The moment he climbed down from the tree, Yue Zhong saw Zhuo Yatong, Tong Xiaoyun and a few warriors waiting for him below.
When he saw them, he felt extremely touched, yet a little upset at the same time. He asked sternly,
“How come you guys are here? Didn’t I tell you to wait outside? It’s very dangerous here!”
Within the Mechanized Infantry Brigade Camp, there were all sorts of dangerous Mutant Plants growing all over the place. If they had been just slightly careless, then they could very well have all perished in this place.
Tong Xiaoyun felt a bit wronged and refuted him, saying,
“We’re only here because we were all concerned about your safety!”
When Yue Zhong saw that Tong Xiaoyun dared to answer back, he raised an eyebrow and was preparing to scold her, to let her understand the importance of complying with military orders.
“That’s enough, Sister Xiaoyun!! Husband was also just worried about our safety.”
Zhuo Yatong patted Tong Xiaoyun’s shoulder, before walking up to Yue Zhong’s front and looking straight at him. As always, she spoke in a voice as gentle as water,
“It’s my fault! I disobeyed your orders and brought people to find you without permission. No matter how you want to punish me, I will still have no complaints ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) .”
Yue Zhong saw the tender expression of Zhuo Yatong and he was not able to let out his angry re
