Chapter 289: Sharing Energy

The red mist of Bottle Gourd completely suppressed the seed, even though its size shrank inside Blood Lotus, its red mist expanded several times in range.

Just after swallowing the incoming venom, the red mist of Bottle Gourd covered the area where the seed was, leaving no chance for it to escape.

Without the corrosion of the acid, Blood Lotus brazenly tangled with the ivy on its body.

It turned out that Blood Lotus had planned from the beginning that what it wanted was the growing seed, deliberately giving it energy, no wonder it could share its food from its mouth.

It was very likely that just a second-rank mutated plant seed would not be enough for the advanced Blood Lotus to advance to second-rank.

Unexpectedly, its intelligence in this aspect grew extremely rapidly.

I underestimated it, always treating it as a child who hadn’t fully awakened its intelligence at the age of five or six. Inertial thinking believed that it was difficult for a mutated plant to develop intelligence.

But now, one trick after another made Zhang Mu suddenly feel that this little thing had unknowingly learned too much.

The mist from the Bottle Gourd was very effective. It covered the surface of the ivy more and more thickly. Because of its rank, the ivy was not decomposed immediately, but it looked very wilted.

The Bottle Gourd mist had no effect on it. The vines of the Blood Lotus could move freely in the red mist.

The Blood Lotus seemed to open its mouth wide like a big bowl, filling up the body parts that had been corroded, completely enveloping the thin and weak ivy, smoothing its surface.

Sensing that the ivy had been swallowed by the Blood Lotus as food, the Bottle Gourd withdrew the red mist. Its surface shimmered and energy started to tremble, as if communicating with the Blood Lotus.

Zhang Mu could faintly sense that the Bottle Gourd was communicating with the Blood Lotus, discussing how to divide things up.

He couldn’t perceive the will of the Bottle Gourd, but the determination of the Blood Lotus was clear, trying its best to digest.

Inside the Blood Lotus, the liquid red mist still clung to the surface of the ivy, suppressing its activity.

The Blood Lotus began its digestion. It had the property of annihilation along with its inherent devouring attribute, so even a second-rank seed could be consumed as food.

Zhang Mu asked the Blood Lotus if it still needed blood food, but it dismissed him, saying it no longer needed prey.

Okay, it turns out that the Blood Lotus needed blood to lure this big fish, but it didn’t actually need it.

It seems like it had already stored enough energy inside its body, all the vines were filled with the essence of blood and flesh.

It’s like fattening up before slaughter. Zhang Mu suddenly felt sorry for the strange plant that still wanted to resist with its rank and characteristics.

Quietly, time passed by.

The Blood Lotus was still, and the Bottle Gourd was once again wrapped by the vines of the Blood Lotus, they seemed to have reached some kind of agreement.

Suddenly, Zhang Mu could see visible changes.

The surface of the Blood Lotus slowly changed from the green-black color of the corrosive liquid to a bloated appearance, as if touching it lightly would cause a lot of liquid to gush out.

Has it absorbed the toxic ability of that plant?

It seems to be slowly transitioning towards the second rank.

Another advanced awakening ability can be obtained, whether it evolves from Blood Lotus itself, or directly inherits the hidden location ability of the ivy that has not yet been revealed?

Just then, Zhang Mu suddenly thought of a very likely possibility.

How could Bottle Gourd give away all the fat and let go of the remaining ability, could it have been fused by it?

The more Zhang Mu thought about it, the more likely it seemed, now Bottle Gourd quietly staying in Blood Lotus’s body without any movement, should be dividing the abilities and second-rank energy with Blood Lotus.

This advancement of Blood Lotus is going against the odds! Not only is it advancing on its own, but also the symbiotic Bottle Gourd in its body has begun the path of advancement.

Its ambition is huge!

Zhang Mu gasped instantly, if successful this time, he would obtain two second-rank mutated plants.

He always thought that Blood Lotus would absorb Bottle Gourd, but now.

Suddenly Zhang Mu understood why Blood Lotus has not advanced to second-rank by itself until now.

It is growing a Bottle Gourd!
