Ice Age: I can control plant growth

Chapter 132 Wolf Den
"But the wolves have long gone, and the footprints they left behind are so messy that it's hard to find them."

Ma Yuan's doubtful voice came from the side.

"They can't get away!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mu waved his hand lightly, and in an instant, countless vines as thick as his forearms appeared in front of him.

"go with!"

As he whispered, the vines crawled in all directions like snakes.

As long as you have been here, you will definitely leave traces.

This is an exploration skill that Li Mu had developed long ago. The vines he created can sense the heat retained in the air, and through this he can find the target he wants to find.

Sure enough, as soon as the vines spread out, they quickly captured the heat left by the wolves and began to track quickly in the direction the wolves left.

"Follow up!"

At Li Mu's command, Fu Zikui and Ma Yuan immediately followed. The three of them followed closely behind the vines and quickly rushed in the direction where the wolves left.

Li Mu left the mutant wild boar where it was to prevent the food from being wasted by other mutant beasts.

Soon after, they came to a dense forest. The trees here had long been covered with ice and snow. They were all dead. At first glance, they looked like ice sculptures.

"It seems they have gone into the woods." Fu Zikui said with a frown.

"Could it be that the wolves came here to hunt, but are there any animals that can survive here?" Ma Yuan asked puzzledly.

"It's not clear yet. You two should follow me closely and don't get ambushed."

Li Mu shook his head. He had no idea what the wolves were doing here, but it didn't matter because the vines were still crawling forward.

The three of them followed closely behind, and soon they came to a cave leading to the underground.

The diameter of the hole is more than four meters wide, and the edges are very rough, as if it was dug out by the claws of some animal.

"This should be the lair of the wolves."

Li Mu looked at the dark cave entrance and had some guesses in his mind.

"These wolves are quite smart. They know the temperature down there is high, so they simply build their den underground."

Ma Yuan exclaimed in surprise. Looking at the wolf's den in front of him, he couldn't help but think of the underground city where he lived. The architectural concept of both cities was to use the ground to block the low temperature.

"City Lord, are we going down now?"

Fu Zikui asked solemnly.

"No need, just stand further away and I'll finish you off later."

Li Mu waved his hand and rejected Fu Zikui's suggestion. No one knew how deep the wolf cave was, nor how many mutant wolves were inside. Going down rashly would only increase the danger. Besides, he had a better solution.

After thinking for a while, Li Mu pointed his palm at the hole. As his whole body began to glow green, countless thigh-thick vines appeared out of thin air again! Then he moved his mind slightly, and these vines rushed into the hole in front of him.

After just a short while, chaotic and desperate wolf howls were heard from inside.

"Here we go, get ready to finish off the enemy."

Following Li Mu's gentle reminder, Fu Zikui and Ma Yuan immediately became nervous, clenching their swords and preparing for battle.

It didn't take long, just a few breaths later, with the sound of vines rubbing against the ground, a green oval sphere appeared in front of the two.

When the two looked closely, they found that the sphere was a mutant wolf with only its head left, bound by vines. Judging from its aura, it was a second-level mutant beast.

Although it had been completely tied up, it still let out a ferocious roar when it saw the three people, as if it was not afraid of death at all.

Fu Zikui recalled Li Mu's instructions, picked up his sword and walked forward. As he raised his sword, a line of blood appeared on the mutant wolf's throat. As the mutant wolf's roar turned into a whimper, blood gushed out from the wound, dyeing the nearby snow red.

Seeing this, Fu Zikui immediately summoned the blood vine in his body and plunged it into the ground, starting to absorb the wolf's blood. These wolf bloods were precious cultivation resources for him and the blood vines, which could help him quickly improve his strength and must not be wasted.

Although the wolf blood had already merged with the snow on the ground, the blood vine's absorption ability had been greatly enhanced after several evolutions. After just a few tens of seconds, the wolf blood in the snow had been completely absorbed by the blood vine, and the snow turned white again.

Seeing that the first mutant wolf had been dealt with, Li Mu controlled the vines to pull out another bound mutant wolf from the cave.

This time it was Ma Yuan who took action, but his movements were even faster. He did not give the mutant wolf any time to react. He transformed the Thousand Machine Vine into a sharp silver-white sword. As soon as the mutant wolf appeared, he stepped forward and swung the sword neatly. The sword cut through the mutant wolf's throat like a hot knife cutting through butter, ending the mutant wolf's life in just one stroke.

Seeing this, Fu Zikui did not hesitate at all and continued to control the blood vine to absorb the wolf's blood.

After this, Li Mu continued to pull out the mutant wolves from the cave, while Fu Zikui and Ma Yuan were responsible for completely destroying these wolves to ensure that they no longer posed a threat. This cycle repeated until Li Mu successfully pulled out the fifteenth mutant wolf.

"City Lord, my blood vines have been eaten. What should I do with the remaining mutant wolves?"

Fu Zikui's helpless voice sounded from the side, interrupting Li Mu's action of pulling out the mutant wolf.

The reason why he pulled the mutant wolves out of the cave one by one and let the two men finish them off was that he wanted to use the wolf blood to cultivate Fu Zikui's blood vine. Otherwise, with his ability, these mutant wolves would have been sucked into mummies by the vines long ago, and there was no way they would have survived until now.

"Okay, then let's capture the remaining mutant wolves alive and bring them back to Wanling City."

As he finished speaking, a violent friction sound was heard, and dozens of vines wrapped in balls appeared from the cave entrance, rolling down the snow one by one. Unlike the mutant wolves that had their heads exposed before, the mutant wolves that appeared later had their mouths tightly bound by vines, and could not make a single sound, including the largest wolf king.

"There are only a few wolf cubs left in the cave. What do you two think we should do with them?"

Li Mu looked at the two of them calmly and asked.

Hearing his inquiry, Fu Zikui thought for a while, and then replied: "These wolf cubs are the descendants of mutant beasts. They are still young and not very intelligent. Why don't we take them back and try to tame them? If we can tame them successfully, they can also become our helpers."

Ma Yuan added: "Even if we can't tame it, it won't be too late to kill it later."

Li Mu listened to their suggestions, smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "Since you both think this method is feasible, let's give it a try."

After a pause, he waved his hand to create two street lamp flowers, handed them to the two people, and said with a strange look on his face, "The task of bringing the wolf cub out is left to you."
