74: Giant mutant ice grass
After advancing to the Lord level, the original 【Gluttonous Lion】 could no longer produce good results; consuming the flesh and blood of Lord-level creatures could no longer continue to improve his physical fitness.
Chen Mo had originally been a bit worried, but he did not expect to suddenly trigger an enhanced version of the 【Gluttonous Lion】 self-discipline challenge!
Without hesitation, he directly chose the 【Gluttonous Lion +】 self-discipline challenge and then used a 【super self-discipline card】.
Next, he needed to eat 2000kg of Extraordinary Creatures meat every day for 15 days!
Not long after, Chen Mo discovered that the surprises brought to him by the 【Farming Lion】 did not end there.
About half an hour later, the ice vegetable, which was already close to maturity, grew rapidly and blossomed after being nourished by the Spirit Rain.
Among this batch of ice vegetable, Chen Mo discovered one that seemed a little special.
Its color was similar to the blue of the other ice vegetable, but its size was more than double, making it look exceptionally conspicuous!
Chen Mo observed it and quickly obtained the relevant information—ice vegetable (mutant).
"A mutant form of the ice vegetable. The leaves contain extremely unstable Ice-Type Spiritual Energy, and slight contact may cause an explosion."
The Spiritual Plant had mutated!
After equipping 【Farming Lion】, the planted plants would have a very small probability of mutating and possessing special effects!
Chen Mo waited for this mutant ice vegetable to blossom and bear fruit, collected the seeds, gently pulled out the ice vegetable, and then threw it away.
The moment the ice vegetable touched the ground, it let out a "bang," frost splashed everywhere, and its power was similar to that of a dirt bomb.
"A bit interesting!"
Although the power of the ice vegetable bomb was not great, the production cost was extremely low. If it could be planted in batches, it would still be a very good "toy."
"Plant vegetables! Continue planting vegetables!"
Chen Mo wanted to see if this type of mutant ice vegetable could be cultivated in batches, and if other mutant plants could be bred.
So, he proceeded to cast the Minor Spirit Rain Technique on all the other ice vegetable that had not yet matured.
Then he went out to refine the spirit of the region.
Little White had found another spirit of the region.
He could check the results when he returned.
At dusk.
After refining the spirit of the region of the Ice Crystal Butterfly clan, Chen Mo came to the farm at the first opportunity, wanting to see if any new mutant plants had been born.
The result left him slightly disappointed.
Most of the plants that grew from the seeds sown by the previous mutant ice vegetable were just ordinary ice vegetable.
Over 200 mutant seeds only produced 3 explosive ice vegetable.
The probability had slightly increased.
Among the other 5000+ ordinary ice vegetable seeds, only one mutant ice vegetable was born, and it was still an explosive ice vegetable.
It seemed that the probability of plant mutation was extremely small.
Only one in several thousand.
Although the probability was small, it was not a big problem.
As long as the number of plants grown was large enough, it was still possible to cultivate mutant plants.
"It is a pity that no ice vegetable with other effects mutated. Or is it that a plant can only have one type of mutant variation?"
Chen Mo speculated in his heart.
Immediately, he collected some seeds and started a new round of sowing.
After thinking about it, Chen Mo decided to go to the Frost Sheep territory.
There were two main purposes.
First, to share the 【Farming Lion】 self-discipline challenge with the Frost Sheep Leader to strengthen its planting level.
Second, to ask the Frost Sheep Leader for more plant seeds suitable for growing in the snowy mountain environment, and try to plant mutant plants with more special effects!
"Baa~"
The Frost Sheep Leader was cultivating various Spiritual Plants. Ever since the Lion King gave it the task of 【cultivating Spiritual Plants that increase biological breeding speed】 last time, it had been cultivating various Spiritual Plants day and night for the past few days.
It hoped to cultivate the Spiritual Plants that the Lion King wanted.
Seeing the Lion King, it hurriedly ran over.
"Roar!" (Frost Sheep Leader, I have already learned the Minor Spirit Rain Technique. Do you have seeds for other Spiritual Plants here? It would be best to have a few hundred of each plant!)
Chen Mo directly stated his purpose.
"Baa?"
The Frost Sheep Leader was stunned for a moment.
Seeing the Frost Sheep Leader dazed, Chen Mo roughly guessed what it was thinking, so he directly cast a "Minor Spirit Rain Technique."
Watching the Ice Lion King skillfully cast the Minor Spirit Rain Technique, the Frost Sheep Leader was shocked to the point of distraction.
"Baa?" (Ah?)
No way, the Lion King actually learned it!?
One must know that countless herbivorous Extraordinary Creatures had wanted to learn the Minor Spirit Rain Technique in the past, but none had learned it.
Most extraordinary abilities were innate talents of that race, and it was very difficult for other races to learn them.
It had previously given the Legacy bark to the Lion King; besides currying favor with the Lion King, it was also certain that the Lion King would choose to give up after trying without success.
The Lion King must have been on a whim to want to learn how to plant vegetables, and would give up in a few days.
After all, it was a meat-eating lion, why would it learn to plant vegetables?
As a result, the Lion King had learned the 【Minor Spirit Rain Technique】 in just two weeks!
Could it be that the Lion King really is a Genius at farming!?
"Baa~"
Fortunately, the Lion King had not yet learned the 【Greater Rain Spell】.
Otherwise, it would really start to doubt its sheep life!
After plucking 26 different kinds of plant seeds from the Frost Sheep Leader, Chen Mo returned to his small vegetable garden with satisfaction.
Besides plucking seeds, he also required the Frost Sheep Leader to insist on reclaiming land and planting vegetables every day, especially with the mutant ice vegetable seeds it provided, in order to successfully complete the 【Farming Lion】 self-discipline challenge.
After burying all the seeds into the soil, Chen Mo cast the "Minor Spirit Rain Technique" again and then watered the seeds.
After finishing all this, looking at the neatly arranged dozen vegetable plots, each plot was planted with different seeds.
Chen Mo felt very satisfied.
"I wonder what kind of mutant plants these seeds will grow?"
He suddenly realized the fun of farming!
This feeling of not knowing what could be grown was truly too addictive for a lion!
Time flew by.
In the next few days, every day besides refining the spirit of the region, Chen Mo was addicted to farming.
Almost every little while, he would go to his vegetable garden to see if any plants had matured, and if any mutations had occurred.
If not, he would cast a Minor Spirit Rain Technique on them!
The first day.
Among the sown seeds, only the ice grass had matured.
Because of the large quantity planted, naturally, mutant ice grass was also produced.
ice grass (mutant)
"A mutant individual of ice grass, gigantified."
The mutant ice grass didn't have any special effects, it was just particularly big!
Ordinary ice grass was only a dozen centimeters high, but the mutant ice grass was several meters high!
Grass that grew as tall as a small tree!
After Chen Mo planted the mutant ice grass seeds for several generations, he finally obtained ice grass seeds with a mutation rate as high as 10%.
This mutation probability was already very high.
Chen Mo called the Frost Sheep Leader over.
The mutant ice grass had very good value; it was truly enough to satisfy one's hunger with just one plant!
It could completely be planted on a large scale in the pasture!
Looking at the 7 or 8-meter-tall ice grass in front of it, the Frost Sheep Leader blinked, its eyes dull.
Does such large ice grass really exist!?
