Ice Age: I can control plant growth

Chapter 133 Cub and Crystal Core

Fu Zikui and Ma Yuan looked at Li Mu's expression and felt a little confused: Isn't it just digging some wolf cubs out of the cave? What's so difficult about that? Why does the city lord look so strange?
"As ordered."

Without time to think, they took the lantern flowers and walked towards the cave entrance. Since they didn't know how deep the wolf's den was, they could only carefully hold on to the vines made by Li Mu and descend step by step.

Under the illumination of the street lamps, the two men fell five or six meters and were surprised to find that the passage changed from vertically downward to extending horizontally. Then, with the illumination of the lights, they walked forward for another twenty meters, and a space the size of a football field appeared in front of them.

Before they could marvel at the wolves' digging ability, a foul smell mixed with feces and decay instantly rushed into their nostrils.

"Fuck! It stinks. How can these wolves live here?"

Fu Zikui covered his face with his clothes the moment he smelled the stench, but even so, the stench did not subside much, making him want to vomit.

"Ugh! Captain Fu, please stop talking. Hurry up and find the wolf cub and take him away. I'm going to vomit if you stay any longer!"

"I finally understand why the city lord has such a strange expression."

Ma Yuan also followed Fu Zikui's example and covered his mouth and nose with clothes, but found that it was of little use. He simply put down his clothes, held his breath, held up the street lamp flower and looked around at the space, thinking about completing the task as soon as possible so that he could get out.

But the lighting range of the street lamp was limited, and he could only see the situation within a few meters. In his field of vision, the ground was littered with the leftover limbs and skeletons of various animals, as well as feces excreted everywhere, but he did not find any trace of the wolf cub.

“Ouch…Ouch”

At this moment, a slight howl came from deep in the space. The two were instantly attracted by the sound. They looked at each other and realized that this was the wolf cub they were looking for. So they carefully avoided the feces on the ground and walked inside.

After a while, a den made of unknown hay appeared in front of them. In the den lay a dozen wolf cubs. The largest one was almost the same size as an adult pastoral dog, while the smallest one was only slightly bigger than an adult's palm and had not yet opened its eyes.

After seeing the two people, the older wolf cubs all climbed up, stared at them with their eyes, and made low growls in their throats, as if warning them not to come near.

"Hey, he may not be big, but he is quite wild!"

Fu Zikui chuckled, and without caring about the wolf cubs' reactions, he quickly walked to the den. Then, a dozen blood vines grew out from behind him, binding all the wolf cubs into a ball and suspending them in the air.

After the wolf cubs left the den, a few flashes of light attracted Ma Yuan's attention.

Confused, he walked over and pointed the streetlight flower at the light. At the same time, the Thousand Machine Vine stretched out a thin vine and moved the hay in front of it. After a while, three thumb-sized translucent crystals were dug out. He put a few crystals in his hand, turned his head and looked at Fu Zikui and asked, "Captain, what are these?"

Fu Zikui took a quick look and said in surprise, "It's the crystal core of a mutant beast."

Then he sighed, "It seems that this group of wolves is quite intelligent. They actually know that the crystal cores of mutant beasts are beneficial to evolution. They put the crystal cores obtained from hunting other mutant beasts in the cubs' den to help them grow."

After hearing Fu Zikui's explanation, Ma Yuan looked at the crystal core in his hand with sudden enlightenment. He only knew that crystal cores would appear in mutant beasts above level three, but this was the first time he saw a real thing. It was said that these crystal cores contained a large amount of source energy, which could help practitioners increase their cultivation speed several times, and were extremely valuable cultivation resources!
Thinking of this, Ma Yuan looked at the crystal core with a fiery look. What he needed most now was to increase his own strength. As if seeing his thoughts, Fu Zikui rolled his eyes and said, "What are you thinking? These spoils belong to the city lord. We are just here to help collect them."

Hearing this, Ma Yuan's restless heart immediately calmed down, "The captain is right, these things do not belong to him, he is just helping."

Just when Ma Yuan couldn't help but sigh and felt hopeless, Fu Zi changed the subject and said, "But, if you really want it, there is something you can do."

Ma Yuan was excited when he heard this and asked hurriedly, "What's the solution?"

Fu Zikui raised his lips and smiled, "Wanling City's overall strength is not high right now, and we are in urgent need of help. And you are one of the few awakened ones in Wanling City. As long as you sincerely tell the city lord your request, with his generous character, he will definitely not be stingy with a crystal core."

Ma Yuan nodded after hearing all this. He had heard about Li Mu's generous character. He believed that if he really went to Li Mu to ask for a crystal core as Fu Zikui said, he would most likely succeed.

However, no matter what you do, there are gains and losses. He didn't know whether his actions would cause Li Mu to be disgusted and think that he was greedy.

"Well, let's take it one step at a time. Let's go up and report first."

Fu Zikui nodded slightly when he heard this. He had already told Ma Yuan the solution, and it was up to Ma Yuan whether to do it or not.

"Let's go, this cave stinks."

After Fu Zikui finished speaking, he took the lead and walked backwards with a dozen balls behind him. The two of them went back much faster and returned to the ground in about five minutes.

When Li Mu saw the two people coming out of the cave, he wanted to go forward to ask about the situation, but he suddenly smelled a foul odor coming from them. He was so scared that he waved his hands hurriedly, "You two stand further away, let the smell dissipate first."

When Fu Zikui heard Li Mu's words of disdain, a resentful expression appeared on his face, and he thought to himself: "The reason why we stink so bad is because you asked us to go down and dig out the wolf's den. Now that the mission is completed, you are disgusted with us."

A minute later, thanks to the outside air and the powerful air purification ability of the street lamp flowers, the stench on the two people finally dissipated. At this time, Ma Yuan took out the three crystal cores he had found before from his pocket, handed them to Li Mu and said,

"City Lord, these are the mutant beast crystal cores we found in the wolf den. What do you think we should do with them?"

Li Mu took a quick look and didn't care much. He waved his hand and said, "It's just a few crystal cores. You two can split it."

Then he turned his gaze to the ball behind Fu Zikui and asked curiously, "Are these the mutant wolf cubs?"

Fu Zikui bowed and replied, "Yes, there are big and small ones, and they are all alive and well."

Li Mu nodded with satisfaction when he heard that. He didn't pull out all the cubs with the vines before because he was worried that their vitality was too weak and they might be strangled to death by the vines if he wasn't careful. Now that they were safe, it was time to go back.
