378: Chapter 401 Can Plants Repel Fire?

Led by Trump, An Ke and his group walked onto the trunk of a large tree.

They arrived at the top of the Nightmare Flower.

Because the trees were massive, their branches were like natural overpasses.

Old Crocodile laughed heartily: "dear one, we must be the first crocodiles among crocodiles!"

Sister-in-law Crocodile was also very happy: "Yes! Which other crocodile can climb a tree like us?"

"You two are having fun, but have you considered how This Muscle Man feels?" King Kong shouted loudly.

"This Muscle Man is so exhausted he's gone limp!!"

Beside them, Ghost Face, Ah Giao, and the other animals also wore expressions of complaint.

To help the Old Crocodile Couple climb the tree, they had expended considerable effort, pulling them up bit by bit with spider silk.

The main issue was actually the height; if it weren't so high, it wouldn't have been so tiring.

Additionally, Little Scar had fought the Velociraptor in its enlarged form, which left it quite drained, making it difficult to enlarge again now.

An Ke silently noted this point.

Although the animals had been endowed with powerful attributes, the stronger the attributes, the greater the consumption.

This was also why King Kong couldn't lift Old Crocodile for extended periods.

"Trump, where is the black technology core?"

An Ke inquired.

"Mr. An Ke, the black technology core is right there."

Trump pointed into the cluster of Nightmare Flowers.

There, amidst the dazzling array of Nightmare Flowers, on a raised mound of earth, lay a red-glowing, prismatic crystal.

It was indeed a core!

As An Ke saw the core, its information appeared in his field of vision.

[black technology core: 'Strength-Type powered armor 1.0' (Upgradable).]

Outside, in the live broadcast room.

"It's actually powered armor!!"

"What's so novel about that? This thing doesn't count as black tech, right?"

"I watched an old-era American TV series called 'Fallout,' the powered armor in it was total garbage."

"I've seen it too. That thing was very clunky and didn't even have decent heavy firepower."

"Is it possible that's because human technology wasn't advanced enough?"

"This is from the [National Fortune Game], so it probably won't be too bad."

"Not necessarily. It's only version 1.0; maybe it's quite outdated?"

"..."

Humanity's impression of powered armor still lingered on clunky metal lumps, so they weren't too impressed with this piece of black tech.

The main reason was that people's expectations for black tech were too high; they all imagined some technological product they didn't recognize, something that would refresh their understanding.

So, seeing powered armor, a common trope in sci-fi, inevitably led to a sense of letdown.

"By the way, are these things called Nightmare Flowers really that formidable?"

"Even Boss An doesn't dare approach them lightly?"

"Is there any botanist from the old era who can come out and explain?"

"..."

In the program, Kang Hui saw many people curious about what these flowers actually were.

So he turned his gaze to the panel of experts present. While these experts weren't at the national level, their professionalism was unquestionable.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been arranged by the authorities for this Popular Science program.

Professor Wu, Coach Zhao, Professor Qin, and others didn't answer, instead looking at a scholar who studied plants.

The scholar shook his head helplessly:

"I also don't know what these plants are."

"There are no relevant records from before the old-era environmental collapse. They don't seem like plants from Blue Star."

"..."

Meanwhile, in the live broadcast room.

Trump looked at An Ke and spoke:

"Mr. An Ke, these plants probably aren't from Blue Star. They are extremely vicious and use flesh and blood as nourishment."

Trump also felt these didn't seem like Blue Star plants.

Although there were carnivorous plants in the old era, none were as vicious as depicted in TV series.

For example, pitcher plants fed on insects, and some even relied on digesting animal feces for nutrients.

However, the flowers below fed on flesh and blood.

Most crucially, they didn't use traps but actively launched attacks.

He had personally witnessed a contestant from Netherlands being hunted; the scene was Extremely tragic.

"No. These flowers are indeed plants from Blue Star." An Ke refuted Trump's words.

Trump was taken aback.

Then he heard An Ke continue: "Just in the former largest rainforest alone, there were millions of plant species. Humanity explored less than ten percent of them."

"There were too many plants and animals that humans never discovered. This flower is one of them."

"It's called the Nightmare Flower."

"Their closed buds are actually large mouths, with fangs that can easily tear prey apart.

What's most fatal is their ability to produce a Special gases that can cause hallucinations or paralysis in animals."

Trump's mouth twitched. He I really want to say: Since they are plants undiscovered by humans, how do you know so clearly?

Outside, in the live broadcast room.

The audience was full of question marks upon hearing An Ke's words, sharing the same doubt as Trump.

If humans hadn't discovered this plant yet, how did An Ke know about it?

However, they were already used to An Ke's extensive knowledge.

They all collectively chose to ignore it.

For others, knowing this would be abnormal; for Boss An, it's perfectly normal.

"I want to know how Boss An plans to get the black technology core."

"They actively attack people and can even produce Special gases; there's simply no way to get close."

"Even if Little Scar enlarges, it would be, at best, a Nine deaths and one life situation."

"Dealing with plants is actually simple; just use fire."

"Indeed! No matter how sharp plants are, they're still plants. Just one fire, and they're all gone."

"..."

In the live broadcast.

Xiao Mei also immediately thought of using fire.

"Patriarch, the method to deal with plants is actually simple: use fire."

"It's just have no idea if that red crystal you want will also burn in the fire."

Xiao Mei expressed her concern.

An Ke had no concern at all. "That core won't be burned."

After all, it was a reward from the [National Fortune Game]; how could it be destroyed?

Hearing this, King Kong immediately said: "Setting fires! This Muscle Man is an expert at that!"

After speaking, it flapped its wings, Prepare to start a fire from above.

However, An Ke grabbed it.

He said Not in a good mood: "If it were that simple, I would have used fire long ago."

"These Nightmare Flowers won't be burned by fire. They have a unique way of Avoid danger."

"Moreover, we are currently above them, which is Extremely dangerous.

Hot air would carry the Nightmare Flowers' gas toward us, and then we'd be in trouble."

Outside, in the live broadcast room.

The audience was Very surprised.

"These things actually can't be burned by fire?"

"Impossible, right? They're still plants; how can they Avoid the flames?"

"..."

The audience couldn't figure it out...

...

The audience felt plants couldn't possibly be Not afraid of fire.

But this was said by An Ke.

Since that was the case, it was most likely correct.

Nowadays, An Ke's words were considered authority in the eyes of the Dragon Country Masses.

In the live broadcast.

Seeing that fire attacks were also ineffective, everyone was momentarily Helpless.

"Since we can't use fire attacks, how do we get that red crystal now?"

Xiao Mei felt they probably couldn't obtain the red crystal.

"Great King, how about I go try later?" Little Scar volunteered.

It planned to rest a bit more, then enlarge and try stepping in.

An Ke shook his head: "Even enlarged, if you go in, you won't be able to come out."

Pausing, An Ke decided to show the animals the fear of the Nightmare Flowers.

He So be it looked around and then used [Natural Affinity] to summon a mantis.

This mantis was human-sized, its appearance十分 fear, looking like an alien creature.

Actually, when insects enlarge, their appearances become much more fear than their original forms.

After all, when they are tiny, humans can't fully see their features.

They don't know how ferocious they truly look.

An Ke had once seen an ant magnified a thousand times; he was I was scared at the time.

It was just like the ferocious monsters in TV series.

To be honest, An Ke really didn't want to encounter ants, especially army ants or bullet ants.

Because he wasn't sure if his current [Natural Affinity] could influence them.

Firstly, he wasn't sure of their size. Secondly, because they have a long history.

Like Dinosaurs, they belong to ancient creatures, typically with high grade.

Gathering his thoughts, An Ke directed the mantis to fly into the Nightmare Flowers.

The mantis Without saying a word, immediately obeyed An Ke's instruction, flying toward the Nightmare Flowers.

Soon, everyone saw that when the mantis approached within two or three meters of the Nightmare Flowers, it immediately showed Abnormal situation.

Its entire body became as if Pour in lead, starting to stiffen, before finally plummeting straight down from the air.

However, before it could hit the ground, a Nightmare Flower bit into it.

These drooping flower buds, resembling blooms about to wither after opening, immediately recovery upon sensing movement.

Their petals Open, revealing rings of fangs inside, and the next second, they bit into the mantis with Giant Strength.

The mantis's exposed limbs immediately fell to the ground.

This scene made all the animals present He gasped..

Old Crocodile felt somewhat Thriller: "Their attack speed is that fast?"

"Even if it were Tiger Mom and Leopard Mom, the two sisters, they probably couldn't react in time," Sister-in-law Crocodile He spoke in a deep voice.

Feline reaction times were the strongest among all present animals. If they couldn't dodge, others certainly couldn't.

"Giao! So horrible!! By the way, do these flowers have vines? Would they bondage?" Ah Giao's tone held a hint of excited.

All the animals present couldn't help but Strabismus Ah Giao with eccentric expressions.

Trump's expression was Equally subtle.

Was this panda really that abnormal?

"Brother!! What are you thinking?!" Hua Hua Embarrassed and annoyed.

Having such a elder brother was too Embarrassing, right?

Was now the time to think about bondage?

Once bondage, your life would probably be gone.

Hua Hua felt its former勇敢无畏 elder brother was gone; the current elder brother brought it Shame.

An Ke A dry cough, also feeling Speechless toward Ah Giao.

This guy's M property was getting It's getting worse.

"Patriarch, what should we do now?" Xiao Mei asked An Ke.

They couldn't get close, and fire attacks wouldn't work.

There was simply no way to get the red crystal.

Beside them, Trump didn't utter a sound but was inwardly Happy.

He anxious An Ke couldn't obtain the [black technology core]. That way, he would Make a fortune.

Not only would he gain benefits, but the [black technology core] would also remain.

An Ke Strabismus Trump and grinned:

"Trump, are you quite happy?"

Hearing this, Trump I broke out in a cold sweat.. He hurriedly waved his hands and shook his head:

"Mr. An Ke, I am not happy at all."

"If you cannot obtain the core, I would also be very Heartbreaking."

Trump dared not say he was happy. What if An Ke picked him up and threw him down? That would be It's over..

"Master, This Muscle Man thinks we can summon Three Hairs back," King Kong Unexpected proposed a very A serious proposal.

Three Hairs had a hardness of 500; the Nightmare Flowers would be helpless against it.

As for the hallucinogenic or paralyzing gas, they could just send it into the [Portable Space].

Gas was also matter!!

The only trouble was finding Three Hairs's location deep in the Giant Forest, which would take considerable time.

"No need to summon Three Hairs back. I will make an attempt later to see if I can make the Nightmare Flowers obey my Order..."

An Ke He spoke softly.

"If that doesn't work, then we'll come back tomorrow and let Old Crocodile try."

Tomorrow, Old Crocodile's [200-point Linguistic Attack] would be available.

Beside them, Trump's pupils Slightly widened, somewhat incredible.

What did An Ke mean by that?

Could he actually make plants obey his Order?!

Communicate with plants?!

What kind of joke was that?

Trump It just seems outrageous..

Outside, the live broadcast room was Equally surprised by An Ke's words.

"Boss An's words carry a lot of Information content."

"Does he have Eats both plants and animals?"

"God damn ' Eats both plants and animals,' that sounds way too strangeness."

"It is strangeness, but The description is very apt.."

"I can understand animals obeying commands, but how will Boss An make plants obey?"

"..."

In the live broadcast room, the Foreigners were also Completely bewildered.

They originally thought An Ke's ability to communicate with animals was already Invincible; Unexpected he could also communicate with plants?

Was he bluff?

Plants have no intelligence or thoughts; how could An Ke communicate with them?

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

It must be An Ke Deliberately displayed to Demonstrating one's own strength.

The Foreigners refused to believe An Ke could even command plants.

Above the Moon, in the Control Room.

Several nobles were originally Silence. Upon hearing An Ke's words,

Fama, That is the irritable aristocratic older brother, couldn't help but A surprised exclamation:

"Chief Steward, does this human named An Ke also have the ability to control plants?"

The face beneath the Chief Steward's Surging darkness was Equally bewildered.

I don't know!!

Does he have this ability?

He doesn't, right?

Has he ever Shown it before...

Seeing the Chief Steward's silence, the nobles immediately understood that He also didn't know.

For a moment, they all became Uncertain.

If the difficulty of communicating with animals was between 1 and 10, then the difficulty of controlling plants would be between 10 and 110.

How could a human from a primitive civilization possibly achieve that?

They Discover the more they watched, the more mystery An Ke seemed.

Even they were starting to feel they couldn't See through An Ke.

"There's one more point I'm very care..." the The effeminate nobles spoke.

"What did An Ke mean when he said if the attempt fails, he'll let that crocodile Take action tomorrow?"

...
