Ice Age: I can control plant growth

Chapter 30: Cleaning Up Mutant Beasts

Cheng Cheng and Asao skillfully cut the pine tree into strips of appropriate size, then piled them into the shape of a bonfire. After lighting them, a warm bonfire appeared in front of the three of them.

Seeing this, Li Mu moved his fingers lightly, and several seeds quickly grew into vines as thick as his forearm. Under his control, these vines intertwined on the campfire to form a stand for placing pots.

Cheng Cheng hung the iron pot that he had prepared long ago on it, then took out the snow and started to boil water and cook.

"Do you think there are still people in this town?"

Ah Sao asked while slurping the noodles in his mouth.

Cheng Cheng shook his head and said disapprovingly: "Even if there are, they are just dead people." In his opinion, it is hard to imagine that anyone can survive in such a harsh environment.

Li Mu had a different view. After thinking for a moment, he replied: "Some people may have escaped from this place, while others were unfortunately buried in this vast ice and snow."

"Alas, after we build a shelter here, we will definitely have to clear the snow here. I don't know how many corpses we will find then."

When Ah Sao thought of the scene at that time, he felt very melancholy, and the noodles in his mouth no longer tasted delicious.

"The lives that have been lost cannot be brought back. All we can do is try our best to protect those who survived."

One of the purposes of Li Mu's establishment of the shelter was to provide a hope of survival for the surviving humans in this ice age.

After hearing what Li Mu said, both of them fell into silence. The originally empty hall became even quieter at this moment.

"Don't think too much and go to bed early, because there are still many things waiting for us to deal with tomorrow."

After saying that, he took out three sunflower seeds from his pocket and with a wave of his hand, he nurtured them into three thriving sunflowers.

Under the gentle caress of the sunflowers, the three of them gradually fell asleep.

As the sun rose high in the sky, the three of them woke up early and began to investigate the situation in Shuangpu Town.

After some exploration, they found that there were not many large mutant beasts near the town.

The main threats include a group of about forty or fifty mutant wild boars, led by a pig king with the power of the third level of earth; a pair of third-level gold mutant black bears; and a fourth-level wind mutant tiger.

Fortunately, Li Mu found a shelter and borrowed a battalion of soldiers, otherwise it would take a lot of time for Li Mu and his two companions to deal with these mutant beasts.

After confirming the situation, Li Mu ordered the other two to return to the town and wait for orders, while he himself set out to return to the shelter and summon a battalion of troops under Tang Anguo.

About half a day later, at around one o'clock in the afternoon, Li Mu, Tang Anguo and a battalion of soldiers under their command hurried over.

It was because Li Mu prepared tomatoes in advance that they were able to arrive here so quickly.

However, after all, it was a long journey in the ice and snow. Tang Anguo and his soldiers looked a little tired, and they urgently needed to find a place to rest.

Fortunately, there were enough vacant houses in the town, and the accommodation problem was solved after the snow was cleared.

These soldiers only carried guns and some emergency rations, and their daily needs depended on Li Mu's supply. While they were busy looking for a place to stay, Li Mu had already begun to accelerate the maturation of rice and the growth of vegetables, while the source of meat would have to wait until tomorrow to hunt the mutant beasts.

With Li Mu's full dedication, he finally prepared enough food for everyone to eat for three days before nightfall.

After a night's rest, everyone was refreshed and set out on the journey to hunt down the mutant beasts.

After receiving fire support from a battalion, they easily killed a herd of wild boars on the first day, adding delicious meat to the dinner. However, when they were about to hunt a mutant black bear the next day, something intriguing happened.

When everyone arrived at the place where the black bears were hiding, they searched for several kilometers but still could not find any trace of them.

I wonder if these black bears were out foraging and had not returned yet, or if they had some kind of intelligence and sensed the danger, so they fled the scene early?

In the vast forest, there was no trace of black bears, so they decided to kill the last mutant tiger first. When they approached the tiger quietly, they saw it killing a weak goat.

This mutant tiger is seven or eight meters long, and more than two meters tall when on all fours. Compared to the previous wolf king, its body is more than one size larger. One can sense its formidable aura at a glance.

Faced with so many strangers intruding into its territory, the mutant tiger not only did not show the slightest fear, but instead put down the goat in its mouth without hesitation and rushed towards the crowd with a roar.

As it ran, bursts of tiger roars emanated from its throat, followed by powerful wind blades gushing out of its mouth and rushing straight towards it.

Li Mu stood in front and waved his hands. Dozens of pecans fell to the ground like raindrops, instantly forming a solid tall nut wall that successfully blocked all the incoming wind blades.

He did not intend to give the mutant tiger that was getting closer and closer more chances, so dozens of vines quickly wrapped around the tiger's limbs like snakes coming out of a cave.

Faced with the sudden vine attack, the mutant tiger had to stop, open its mouth, and let out a howling strong wind, blowing the vines into pieces.

However, this momentary pause gave Li Mu's teammates an opportunity, and countless bullets shot towards the tiger's body like a rainstorm.

At first, the bullets hit the mutant tiger without causing any substantial damage, but only intensified its rage.

However, when it tried to rush towards the crowd amid the hail of bullets, it was stopped by Li Mu's vines and was caught in a dilemma.

Just as a bulletproof vest cannot always protect its owner from continuous bullet attacks, the mutant tiger cannot withstand so many bullet attacks without being hurt. In just three minutes, the mutant tiger's body began to show spots of blood under the impact of bullets.

Finally, when the source energy was exhausted, the mutant tiger was tightly strangled by Li Mu's vines, unable to move, and could only wait for death to come.

After the mutant tiger passed away, there were no particularly dangerous mutant beasts within a ten-kilometer radius around Shuangpu Town, which meant that even if there were other mutant beasts, the threat they posed was relatively small.

At this time, it was only around ten o'clock in the morning, and the cleanup of the mutant beasts was nearing completion. The next step was to think about how to quickly build a shelter.

Li Mu's initial plan was to recruit some survivors first, and then combine his own abilities to build a base that was 100 meters long, 10 meters wide and 10 meters high in the shortest time possible, and then gradually expand its scale.

But when he saw the trees everywhere, he suddenly thought of a legendary creature. If he could successfully transform it, he would not have to worry about recruiting survivors in the short term.
