I Build a Floating City in the Apocalypse – Chapter 90

Chapter 90

“Home Field Advantage?”

Hearing Fang Bai’s voice, Wang Xiong was slightly taken aback.

“Village Chief, what did you say?”

“Nothing.”

Fang Bai shook his head, his Mental Power focused on the willow tree and the bull.

The willow tree was only about a meter tall, a veritable small willow tree.

However, although the willow tree was small, the elemental fluctuations it emitted were not small. Fang Bai sensed a rich and solidified elemental power within the small willow tree.

“No wonder the manuscript said that scroll paper made of pure Elemental Magic Plant is the top-tier scroll paper.

Such good material, how could the scroll paper made from it not be good?”

Elemental Magic Plant is also known as Elemental Wood, they are just different names.

In Fang Bai’s perception, this willow tree, over a meter tall, was entirely made of Elemental Material.

“If I cut it all down and grind it into powder, how many elemental scrolls could I make?”

This thought involuntarily emerged in Fang Bai’s mind.

Of course, Fang Bai would never do such a wasteful thing. Even though it was the first time he had seen an Elemental Magic Plant, Fang Bai knew that sawing a complete Elemental Magic Plant into pieces and grinding it into powder was the most wasteful way to use it.

Even if it were transplanted to the village and simply used to gather fire elements and increase the elemental concentration in the village, it would be better than that.

Fang Bai sensed with his Mental Power that the concentration of fire elements near this willow tree was quite high, at least several times higher than in other places.

Such a high elemental concentration might not be a good thing for non-fire element professionals or creatures, and staying there for a long time might even be harmful to the body. But for fire element professionals and creatures, this elemental concentration was definitely the most suitable living environment and would be of great help to their growth.

Just look at this big water buffalo, it was extremely comfortable under the nourishment of the willow tree.

“I can’t kill it. I’ll transplant it back and plant it. Even if it’s not useful for anything else, occasionally taking a branch is sustainable development.”

After making up his mind, Fang Bai turned to look at the water buffalo beside him. The breed should be water buffalo, but its whole body was on fire, so perhaps it would be more appropriate and fitting to call it a Fire Bull.

The Fire Bull was currently lying beside the willow tree. Fang Bai slightly sensed the aura it emitted.

It was similar to the aura of the Spider Demon and other First-Order Magical Beasts. This should also be a First-Order Magical Beast. Moreover, Fang Bai noticed that there seemed to be traces of a nose ring on the bull’s nose. This discovery immediately made Fang Bai exclaim in surprise.

“Eh, could it be that this Fire Bull wasn’t a monster born from a zombie blood cocoon, but a domesticated water buffalo that evolved?

Can ordinary beasts also evolve into Magical Beasts?”

Fang Bai’s eyes immediately lit up.

If ordinary beasts could also evolve into Magical Beasts through certain methods, then Fang Bai could completely imitate them.

After all, humans are animals, and wild beasts are also animals. If animals can evolve into Magical Beasts, why can’t humans?

As long as he could also have the power of a Magical Beast, it would be another career path, another career path independent of the game system.

Perhaps it was a sense of accomplishment, or perhaps it was the sense of solidity that Mages gained through researching knowledge, but Fang Bai did not readily accept or recognize the game system’s “effortless” way of obtaining power.

Perhaps this was the pride that Mages had for possessing knowledge and gaining power through knowledge.

They kept a respectful distance from any power whose source could not be found, and they expressed disdain for professions that gained power in this way.

It was like how people who achieved success through their own hard work looked down on those who lived off others.

Furthermore, creating a career path that did not rely on the game system would give Fang Bai a great sense of accomplishment.

This could drive Fang Bai to continue researching knowledge and make him more passionate about research itself.

“Capture this Fire Bull for research! Capture it alive!”

This thought popped into Fang Bai’s mind. Besides, Fang Bai also thought of the white dog he encountered when he first left the city!

That white dog also dealt with zombies with ease, without any difficulty. He didn’t think much of it before, but now it seemed that the white dog must also be a Magical Beast.

“The monsters born from zombie blood cocoons don’t attack zombies, and zombies don’t attack these monsters either. But that dog was fighting zombies at the time, so it must be a Magical Beast that evolved from an ordinary animal!”

Thinking of this, Fang Bai was almost certain that ordinary animals had some way to evolve into monsters.

“And if this Fire Bull evolved from an animal, does that mean it has the possibility of communication?”

Many animals had high intelligence, were empathetic, and could understand human speech, and cows happened to be one of them.

Moreover, if it were a farm ox, it would have lived with humans for a long time and would not be unfamiliar with humans. Generally speaking, it would not be very aggressive either.

Fang Bai glanced around. There were no injuries on the surface of the Fire Bull’s body, and the Fire Bull was also lying under the tree in a relaxed posture. After pondering for a moment, he walked out from behind the cover and towards the Fire Bull.

He gestured to Wang Kai, Wang Xiong, and the others not to move, and Fang Bai continued to walk forward.

After Fang Bai walked out for a while, he attracted the attention of the Fire Bull. The Fire Bull looked up at Fang Bai, its tail, which seemed to have turned into flames, swept across its buttocks, and then it lay down again.

As expected!

This confirmed Fang Bai’s thoughts and brought a smile to the corner of his mouth. He immediately pulled a relatively tender blade of grass from the ground, held it in one hand, and continued to walk forward.

When it noticed Fang Bai continuing to approach, the Fire Bull snorted, but did not make any other movements.

When Fang Bai walked within ten meters, the Fire Bull stood up and looked at Fang Bai.

“Moo!”

A deep and long moo sounded in Fang Bai’s ears. Fang Bai stopped and offered the grass in his hand.

The Fire Bull seemed to flash a look of disdain, as if it was disgusted by the grass.

Seeing this, Fang Bai pondered for a moment and threw the grass over. The bull snorted, but didn’t react at all. Its bull eyes looked Fang Bai up and down a few times, and it seemed to think that Fang Bai was not a threat, so it lay down again.

Fang Bai was overjoyed to see this. He immediately used the walkie-talkie on his body to speak to Wang Kai.

“Wang Kai, hurry up and gather some tender vegetables, tender grass, cattle feed, or something like that. The sooner the better.”

“Okay.”

At this moment, Wang Kai was also very excited. He immediately responded and left.

Fang Bai looked at the Fire Bull lying on the ground and sat down as well. His Mental Power directly enveloped the Fire Bull and penetrated into its body, sensing its internal structure.

The Fire Bull’s body contained fire elements and was not easy to penetrate. It was also quite difficult for Fang Bai to penetrate.

While penetrating, the Fire Bull seemed to sense something and snorted, but then didn’t react anymore.

Fang Bai painstakingly penetrated his Mental Power into the Fire Bull’s body and immediately discovered where the Spell Model was located. He immediately calmed down and carefully sensed it.

However, at this moment, an arrow pierced through the air and hit the Fire Bull, wrapped in sharp Qi.

“Moo!”

The moment the Fire Bull roared in pain, Fang Bai immediately looked in the direction of the arrow.

A young man with yellow hair looked at the enraged Fire Bull and gave Fang Bai a playful and amused expression. Fang Bai’s face instantly darkened when he saw this.

“Moo!”
