1892: "Poisoning A Plant"

"Poisoning A Plant"

One had to know that the roots could dive underwater and could even digest flesh, acting as a 'stomach', which means the roots also had its own acid effect and so on.  1

But who would have known that now, a stronger acid liquid that could corrode its roots finally appeared.

The roots of this water lily broke down under the attack of the black blood but before the water lily could use its race's unique healing and regeneration ability, another attack came. 

Plants were indeed associated with healing, regeneration, and so on, but their healing ability was also limited to their racial advantage and not a real healing ability awakened as a special ability. 

Most often, a racial advantage was not as strong as an awakened ability, unless that race was a high-level race such as the celestials. 

The water lily's injuries had not even healed when Ainsley had already thrown another attack on this little overlord. 

The baby would never give the slightest chance for the water lily to heal itself! 

The next attack was similar to the first one, with various small weapons that looked harmless but actually worked too well against plants. 

In the first place, plants' combat strength was not that strong, and these plants could grow to be such frightening creatures because they became mutated plants, awakened their abilities and even increased their IQ, having a sense of identity and thoughts, just like the beasts. 

If not for the plants' IQ being equal to a one or two-year-old child at most, the mutant plants would be included in the list of various intelligent races in this world. 

Ainsley's next attack used purple blood which only had a small quantity but high lethality. 

The purple blood immediately splashed all over the targeted water lily and the blood actually seeped into those thick roots! 

Don't blame the roots for being too weak to be invaded like that, but the roots already had its own reflex to absorb nutrients, and in a sense, blood was also their nutrient. 

Who would have known that this blood would be poisonous?

Some mutant plants were also poisonous, even more toxic than animals, but the mutant plants in the lake didn't have such a characteristic. 

Most poisonous plants were in the forests, and so, these mutant plants had never been poisoned at all. 

In that instant, when the poison entered the plant's body, the mutant plants could feel the change in their body almost within seconds. 

Although plants didn't feel pain, unlike animals, the plants that had opened up their intelligence also knew that this strange substance was extremely dangerous to its body! 

The plants tried to detoxify the poison, but Ainsley targeted that one water lily with so many poisonous bloods, enough to kill one elephant. 

The water lily did have a detoxifying ability and even if this amount of poison could knock out an elephant, the plant could still hold on for a while to continuously detoxify the poison. 

It was a pity that because most of its attention and energy was spent on clearing up poison in the body, the man-eating water lily's response to the outside world became slower. 

So much so that when the scissor made of green blood approached the water lily, the lily wasn't as ferocious and agile as before. 

The thick roots were all listless, the leaves were curled up in a pitiful way, and the blood-sucking Thumbelina Flower on the water lily also looked much lighter than the previous crimson red color. 

The flower lowered its bud and the whole gigantic flower slowly shrank, returning to the size of a palm. 

To detoxify the poison, the water lily shrinks to its original size and immediately closes off many body parts in order to focus on surviving the poison. 

The whole plant entered a full defensive mode and was not so active in attacking the enemies anymore, which made things really easy for the blood scissor. 

The scissor just lightly nipped the Thumbelina Flower that the water lily cherished so much because it was essentially the flower that the water lily grew to reproduce, the water lily remained 'dead'. 

The monsters and beasts around still tried to bite the leaves, roots or other body parts of the water lily, but the water lily cleverly circulated the poison in its body to those monsters and beasts through the bitten part. 

The water lily resigned to lose many of its body parts, but this way, the poison was cleared much faster. 

A pity. Even the flower was already cut off by the blood scissor and the water lily, which was still in a state of being poisoned, could do nothing but 'watch' the flower being taken away to the faraway boat. 

The previously ferocious flower that fed on the flesh, bone and blood of many beasts and monsters instantly became an ordinary-looking flower with its only uniqueness being similar in color to the flower in the Thumbelina movie. 

The palm-sized flower was officially considered dead the moment it was taken away from the water lily, and people could finally use its medicinal value as they wished. 

The water lily lost its baby, but it didn't have time to mourn because of the poison, so only the surrounding mutant plants and the reinforcement water lily became angry at this incident. 

These plants could barely see their enemies, but they could share senses and they knew that the targeted water lily was poisoned and its flower was taken away. 

Of course, before the group of plants could get mad, the tamed monsters and beasts in the water received a command and changed their target to the other plants!
