Zhao Qian stared intently at Xiao Mu, his face filled with anticipation.
"It's probably useless," Xiao Mu thought, "Zhao is oversimplifying the issue. Would the Mutated Beings of the Life and Death Sect simply stand still and let you plant Mutated Plants on them?"
Besides, the Mutated Chicken hadn't noticed you planting the Mutated Plants on it; it's likely because the roots of this Mutated Plant contain a numbing effect similar to locusts sucking blood. Once planted on the Mutated Chicken, the area on the chicken's back was numbed, rendering it unable to detect anything.
Moreover, it probably also had to do with where you planted the Mutated Plants. You planted them on the back of the Mutated Chicken, which is a blind spot in the chicken's field of vision, making it impossible for the chicken to see as well.
If you had planted the Mutated Plants on the front of the chicken, the result would have definitely been different.
Thinking this, Xiao Mu shook his head, "It's probably useless."
"Useless? Xiao, could it really be?"
Zhao Qian's face showed clear disappointment, looking somewhat disheartened.
Xiao Mu didn't want to discourage Zhao Qian, yet he didn't want to deceive him either; he ultimately chose to tell the truth, "Zhao, a Mutated Chicken is a Mutated Chicken, a Mutated Being is a Mutated Being. Not to mention that Mutated Beings wouldn't just stand there and let Zhao plant Mutated Plants on them."
"Even if Zhao had the chance to plant Mutated Plants on Mutated Beings, they would be able to see the Mutated Plants on their bodies."
"See them?"
Zhao Qian paused for a moment before he realized what Xiao Mu was saying, glanced at the Mutated Chicken whose Mutated Energy had been completely absorbed and had reverted to a normal chicken, and suddenly smiled, "I see, Xiao is suggesting that the reason the Mutated Chicken didn't notice the Mutated Plants I planted on it is because I planted them in its blind spot, is that right?"
"Isn't it?"
Xiao Mu immediately retorted.
"Haha!"
Zhao Qian burst out laughing, "Xiao has yet to realize the magic of these Mutated Plants I cultivated. Actually, as soon as I plant it on someone, the Mutated Plants will immediately disappear from that person's sight, becoming undetectable, not only to the vision but also to the senses."
"Is it that miraculous?"
Xiao Mu found it hard to comprehend and glanced at the Mutated Plant on the Mutated Chicken's back, which had temporarily stopped growing due to the depletion of Mutated Energy but remained clearly visible. He felt utterly incredulous.
"If Xiao doesn't believe it, are you willing to try it?"
Zhao Qian, smiling cheerfully, plucked the Mutated Plant from the back of the chicken, now just a normal chicken, looking at Xiao Mu with great anticipation.
Immediately after, he noticed Xiao Mu's hesitation and quickly added, "Xiao, rest assured, these Mutated Plants do not absorb energy quickly. Moreover, I guarantee that I will remove the Mutated Plant from Xiao within one minute, and the energy consumption caused to Xiao will definitely not exceed that of a single Energy Fruit."
"Afterwards, I am willing to give Xiao ten Energy Fruits as compensation."
I knew it; I should not have curiously asked Zhao about what Mutated Plants are. Wouldn't it be better just to climb the mountain and meet the leader directly?
Xiao Mu's face showed a wry smile, suddenly feeling like he had gotten himself into a trap.
"Xiao, really don't want to try it personally?"
Zhao Qian looked at Xiao Mu with immense anticipation, continuing to persuade, "Xiao, I assure you the loss will not be too great. As long as you consume an Energy Fruit afterwards, you will immediately recover."
As he spoke, he added, "Since Xiao has brought up suspicions about the Mutated Plants being detectable once planted on Mutated Beings, do you really not have the courage to try it out?"
These Mutated Plants are too sinister. I really don't want to try.
Xiao Mu hesitated; he definitely didn't want to experiment with these Mutated Plants. However, he was still curious about the Mutated Plants in Zhao Qian's hands.
Zhao Qian said that once these Mutated Plants are planted on someone, that person would not only lose the ability to sense these Mutated Plants but also would be unable to see them.
From what had been observed, the capabilities of these Mutated Plants were terrifying. This meant that once someone had the Mutated Plants planted on their body, they might be plagued by them for life, until their own energy was completely absorbed.
The implications were extremely terrifying, and for Xiao Mu, not to mention trying having the Mutated Plants planted on himself, he didn't even want to touch them.
But then, he thought of another scenario. Given how terrifying these Mutated Plants are, what would happen if someone from outside obtained them?
If Mutated Beings from outside also had these Mutated Plants, and he accidentally got planted with one, wouldn't he be unwittingly manipulated by others?
Realizing this, Xiao Mu's thoughts abruptly changed, ultimately deciding to try out having the Mutated Plant planted on him.
Doing so would at least provide him with more experience in dealing with Mutated Plants and prevent others from exploiting these plants against him.
Upon resolving this, Xiao Mu looked at Zhao Qian, "Zhao, have you really tested that planting these Mutated Plants on someone does not cause significant harm to the human body?"
"I, Zhao Qian, swear to heaven that once Mutated Plants are planted on someone, they will not cause much harm to the human body in the short term, and they can indeed be compensated for afterwards."
Zhao Qian raised his right hand solemnly, assuring Xiao Mu, and then added, "Xiao should have seen the situation just now with the Mutated Chicken, not yet fully mutated, and it took the Mutated Plant more than ten minutes to completely absorb its energy."
