After obtaining the Bloodwood, although Ye Zhongming temporarily had no way to deal with this giant creature, he still gained some benefits.
For instance, there were densely packed carnivorous plant seeds on it.
Ye Zhongming collected some and stored them in his space for later use.
Today, facing the monster, he decided to use them. The seeds he had scattered on the ground earlier were these.
With his mental power flowing from his left hand into the ground, the carnivorous plant seeds that had just been scattered in this area instantly began to grow wildly. Under the cultivation skill, this plant transformed from seed to seedling, and then to revealing its fierce appearance, all in just a few seconds.
Only Ye Zhongming's immense mental power could support such a rapid cultivation.
The sudden appearance of a patch of carnivorous plants startled the monster, causing it to pause in mid-attack, its eyes filled with confusion as it looked at this unfamiliar mutated plant.
When this patch of more than twenty carnivorous plants reached over two meters tall, they stopped growing. Ye Zhongming did not hesitate for a moment. He cut open his wrist and sprinkled his blood onto these plants, then activated the activation skill.
These originally deep purple carnivorous plants immediately began to change, their overall color turning golden. From the stems to the huge carnivorous flower heads, they transformed into a golden hue, very similar to the color of the earth yellow pill.
In this life-and-death moment, Ye Zhongming did not hold back his mental power, and these carnivorous plants received a full dose of energy from the activation skill.
After the skill was used, Ye Zhongming received the following prompt.
“Level 5 Golden Carnivorous Plant!”
When he first emerged from the competition of death roulette, Ye Zhongming had also activated the carnivorous plants guarding the basement roulette. He remembered clearly that those plants were named level 4 golden carnivorous plants, which meant that now these plants had improved by an entire level!
There could be many reasons for this, such as Ye Zhongming's gardener profession level increasing, the growth of his mental power, and the seeds taken from the Bloodwood being better than before, etc. Ye Zhongming didn’t know which factor it was, but none of that mattered. What was important was that compared to then, the level 5 golden carnivorous plants had an additional ability.
“Skill 1: Man-eating: Feeds on evolved life, providing the energy needed for its own evolution.”
“Skill 2: Stem Absorption: Absorbs the blood of evolvers to enhance its own defensive capabilities.”
“Skill 3: Rotting Soil Trap: After activation, the soil within a certain range around the carnivorous plant decays, increasing the plant's movement speed. The rotting soil trap also possesses the stem absorption capability.”
These were the abilities of the level 4 golden carnivorous plants, and now the level 5 plants had gained an additional Skill 4, Root Connection.
“Root Connection: When similar plants are nearby, the roots of the golden carnivorous plants connect, increasing their defenses and sharing damage.”
This was a double-edged skill.
If faced with an attack that could not kill them all at once, these carnivorous plants would be nearly impossible to kill because of the root connection skill, allowing damage to be shared among each individual plant.
One could imagine how difficult it would be to deal with such a situation.
However, if faced with an attack powerful enough to instantly kill all the plants, then only one needed to be attacked for the others to die as well, without needing to be killed one by one, rendering the root connection effect ineffective.
Of course, if the number of carnivorous plants reached a certain level, this skill, in some respects, meant immortality.
But regardless of how it worked, the increase in abilities meant strength, which was a good thing for Ye Zhongming.
Ye Zhongming dashed into the midst of the twenty or so carnivorous plants.
