The harsh climate of the apocalypse did not make the mountainous areas deserted. On the contrary, the mutation rate of wild plants was extremely high and their viability was greatly enhanced.

As soon as you enter the mountainous area, you can see towering trees. The dense and vigorous vines and weeds cover almost the entire mountain, and even the path is covered.

Li Ba held the mountain topography map and walked forward carefully. Xiao Heihei was standing by, keeping in mind the instructions of his master, and his black eyes were watching everywhere with vigilance. Without time, he even twitched his nose and smelled.

With this guy here, if there are unknown creatures in the bushes, they will definitely be discovered as soon as possible.

When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, the path ahead had been completely covered by weeds and shrubs. At this moment, Li Ba took out a machete, cut out a passage while walking, and continued to move forward.

Xibu is surrounded by mountains on three sides. According to geographical location, these three mountains are called Dongshan, Nanshan and Beishan by locals. The mountains are not high, with an altitude of only five or six hundred meters and cover a large area. On average, a mountain has a radius of dozens of miles.

Li Ba is now heading towards the Nanshantou. He encountered mutant plants he had never seen before along the way and immediately collected them. The specific mutant characteristics can only be taken back for research.

With Xiao Heihei in charge of the guards, the journey was smooth sailing. In just over two hours, Li Ba had already arrived at the hillside. At this moment, he was in a dense forest, and all the trees were filled with branches and leaves, and the scorching sun could not shine in. The surroundings seemed dark and extremely quiet.

Whoosh!

At some point, Xiao Heihei seemed to have discovered something, like a black cheetah rushing out. Then, there was a fierce fighting sound in the bushes ten meters away.

Li Ba was shocked and was about to come forward to check the situation. At this time, the fight was over. Little Heihei dragged a gray-haired rabbit out of the bushes.

Mutant rabbit!

The rabbit is very big, almost the same as Xiao Heihei. It has a developed upper jaw, and its two front teeth are exposed. It loses the docile appearance of the little animal, which adds a bit of violence.

However, at this moment, the mutant rabbit had been bitten off the throat and was dragged out by Xiao Heihei, and his hind legs were still weak and kicked a few times.

Mutant rabbits are often seen in the wilderness near Xibu. Although this thing is mutated, it does not have much attack power. Ordinary people can hunt as long as they have good marksmanship. Most of the mutant beast meat sold in the city market are mutant rabbits.

Little Heihei dragged the mutant rabbit to Li Ba, shook his head and tail, and began to seek credit.

"Good job! I'll invite you to have a roast rabbit at noon!"

Li Ba touched the dog's head. Although this little guy has not yet grown up, he has eaten mutant fruits since he was a child and grew up drinking the space spiritual spring. He has excellent physique and strong combat power. His sharp dog claws can easily tear the cement floor, and his mouth can even bite the steel bars as thick as his thumb.

Once you grow up, you will definitely be a rare helper. This is also the reason why Li Ba took it into the mountains this time. Exercise more and cultivate wildness, and your combat effectiveness will be stronger in the future.

Xiao Heihei may not understand what his master said, thinking that the prey he hunted belonged to him. Then, he bit open the mutant rabbit's head with a bite, rolled up his tongue, and the crystal core inside his head was sucked into his mouth by it, chewing it a few times, and eating it.

As for the meat of mutant rabbits, the little guy is not interested. It is vegetarian and has become chewy. It only eats mutant food and fruits, and is not interested in meat.

"Huh!"

Li Ba was surprised. The dog actually ate the crystal core. This was the first time he discovered it.

After thinking for a while, Li Ba took out a few zombie crystal cores from the bracelet space and threw them on the ground. Xiao Heihei leaned over, sniffed a few times, rolled his tongue, and ate it again.

Seeing this scene, Li Ba showed a thoughtful expression on his face. The zombie mutant beast crystal core can help evolve the evolutionary power. Similarly, it should also be effective for mutant beasts like Xiao Heihei.

"If I had known you had eaten crystal cores, I should have been feeding more when I was young. Maybe you will grow bigger now!"

Li Ba touched Xiao Heihei's head. The latter shook his head and tail, looking flattering.

If the crystal core can speed up the growth of the dog and improve its combat effectiveness, Li Ba will not be stingy. He made up his mind to start feeding the two pets at home with the crystal core from today.

With a wave of his hand, the dead mutant rabbit was put into the bracelet space. At the same time, through mental contact, Li Ba warned the ghost crying vine, asking this guy not to suck the flesh and blood of the mutant rabbit. He also expects to have roasted rabbit meat to eat at noon.

It is the instinctive nature of the Ghost Crying Vine to absorb the flesh and blood of creatures. However, under Li Ba's instructions, the Ghost Crying Vine can restrain it. Of course, the first condition is that there is enough spiritual spring for it to enjoy.

Wujiangnan Town was captured, and Li Ba obtained a lot of jade. He has not been idle these days, and has watered a large number of spiritual springs on the Ghost Crying Vine, and finally gave birth to a fifth plant.

Ghost Crying Vine is a very strange mutant plant that does not have the characteristics of reproduction. Even if a plant is removed, it will not survive under the nourishment of magical land.

Its existence seems to have unique characteristics!

The existence of the five plants has increased the attack power of the Ghost Crying Vine again. This is also the confidence that Li Ba dared to enter the mountainous area alone.

Li Ba took the topographic map, identified the direction, and continued to walk forward. This time he entered the mountainous area and collected samples of mutant plants. The most important thing was to find something that was very useful to him.

The official mountain topographic map is drawn in detail, with many red marks on the three hills. According to the illustration, the red marks are all dangerous places. Even evolvers cannot approach it easily, otherwise there will be a disaster.

When sending the mountain topographic map, Liang Shaoping specially asked someone to give me a sentence: "This picture was exchanged for hundreds of lives. You must not enter the marking place!"

At this moment, Li Ba was approaching step by step, with a red marking location somewhere.

Before the doomsday, there was a large farm in Xibu Town. There were nearly a thousand beef cattle in stock. When the end of the world came, all these beef cattle mutated and evolved, broke free from their bondage, rushed around on the streets, trampling and trampling on countless zombies. Later, they returned to the mountains and forests and lived and reproduced.

It was precisely because of these mutant bulls' Wuxin's actions that killed most of the zombies in the town that the local survivors survived. It was not until the army led by Liang Shaoping arrived to kill the remaining zombies and establish a settlement in Xibu here.

If it weren't for the help of the mutant bulls, it would be quite difficult to clear out the corpses in Xibu Town with the strength of the army led by Liang Shaoping at that time. Therefore, this group of mutant bulls were considered heroes of the Xibu settlement.

However, after these big guys mutated, they were irritable and would not attack humans on their own initiative, but if someone entered their territory, they would immediately attract crazy attacks.

According to official records, nearly a thousand mutant cattle, most of which have level three strength and are huge in size. Each mutant cattle is like a tank, with thick skin and strong flesh and infinite strength. Once it hits, even the existing strength of the Xibu settlement is unbearable.

Therefore, in the habitat of mutant bullheads, the official topographic map specifically marked a line of words, avoid them far away and do not get close to them.

At this moment, a bald head and a dog head were exposed in some dense bushes. They were looking at a slope grass five hundred meters away in front of them. There were huge yellow cows, eating fat grass, wandering around.

"If these big guys rush down the mountain, the Xibu City Wall will probably be knocked down in an instant!"

Li Ba exclaimed. Such a large group of mutant cows are the smallest of an elephant. The largest ones are probably less than a dozen tons in weight, and they are just meat shield tanks.

Even if Li Ba is confident, he dares not provoke these big guys. The same is true for Xiao Heihei. He noticed the danger and stuck his tongue out, and he didn't dare to expose his atmosphere.

"Walk!"

He greeted him. Li Ba turned around and left quietly with Xiao Heihei.
