25 per cent for option one and 75 per cent for option two.

[Option 2]

【Fight with the help of stone walls】

……

Stone wall.

Voting helped Zheng Zhuo notice the most helpful position at the moment.

Two loofah flowers are attacking under the command of the snake vine. The loofah flower spits out a corrosive liquid along the way.

If you go near the stone wall, it will definitely corrode it. After all, it's a super acid that even steel can erode away.

But.

"Hmm......"

The wound on the shoulder is still getting worse. It hurts more and more.

My state is too bad. I am afraid that if you encounter an enemy head-on, you will be injured more than you imagined.

As long as you can move, you can fix anything. If you lose your ability to move, it's over—

"Come on!"

Thinking of this, Zheng Zhuo rushed forward. He rushed out of the forest, holding himself up with his still intact hand, and threw himself behind the stone wall.

Boom!

The loofah flower then slammed into the stone wall.

Violent shaking. The nearby wind chimes rang out in unison. The top of the stone wall began to collapse, and the corrosive liquid dripping from the mouth of the loofah flower dripped on the stone bricks, corroding one depression after another.

The head of the loofah flower stretched out over the stone wall that was beginning to crumble.

And the timing ......

…… Now is the time.

The wind sounded from below.

Airplanes.

Suddenly, a weeding saw went straight up from below and into the head of the loofah flower.

"—hiss——!!"

Liquid splashes, loofah flowers writhe violently! The corrosive liquid and the plant slime of the loofah flower itself splattered everywhere—

And below.

Zheng Zhuo, who had just climbed over the stone wall, lay down on the ground. He gritted his teeth, used the ground instead of his injured and weakened right hand as a support, and sent forward with his left hand—

Buzzing!

The weeding saw spun and broke the head of the loofah flower.

The loofah flower made its last noise and fell.

Its body pressed against the stone wall.

“——！”

Zheng Zhuo immediately rolled to the side.

Bang Bang!

The stone wall was damaged by the pressure of the loofah flowers, which stirred up heavy smoke and dust.

Between the smoke and dust, Zheng Zhuo saw the snake vine fly up from the loofah flower's head. It flew down the elongated vine to the last loofah flower—

The loofah flower was also rushing towards Zheng Zhuo.

Their positions were already on Zheng Zhuo's left and right sides, so they ......

The path of the snake vine's flight passed above Zheng Zhuo's head.

Seeing the snake vine passing over, Zheng Zhuo didn't think about it, and stretched out his left hand.

"—Catch ——!"

He grabbed the root of the snake vine! Then, with all his might, he fell to the ground—

After all, the snake vine is just a plant with a lot of vitality.

In the case of Zheng Zhuo using his own weight to restrain him, it had no strength to compete with him at all. As Zheng Zhuo pulled hard, the snake vine also fell to the ground-

The loofah flower slammed into the corroded stone wall and flew at it, almost in front of it—

In an instant.

Zheng Zhuo pulled it towards the weeding saw that was on the ground.

At last.

Cha.

There was a soft thud.

Zheng Zhuo cut off the stem of the snake vine on the blade of the weeding saw.

He hugged the root system of the snake vine and fell to the ground again.

“……”

All the sound was gone. There was a sudden silence in the field.

“…… Huh...... Hahh......"

Zheng Zhuo could only hear himself gasping for air.

The loofah flower, which had already pounced on her, suddenly stopped. It lifted its big head from the corrosive liquid and looked around blankly.

Rustling.

Zheng Zhuo suddenly felt the struggle of the snake vine in his arms.

He looked into his arms. This was the first time he had seen [Snake Vine] up close. He saw a long black seed in the dense roots and stems.

He put his hand in the stem.

“…… Belch......! ”

Accompanied by a tooth-sore "squeak" sound......

Boom.

Zheng Zhuo pulled out the seed from the rhizome of the snake vine.

The snake vine struggled violently for a moment at the end, and then stopped moving. Zheng Zhuo watched as it quickly withered and lost its vitality.

……

【Snake Vine Seeds】

……

"Hah...... It took a lot of work......"

Zheng Zhuo put the seed in his pocket. Then he pulled up the weeding saw.

“……？”

He also needs to deal with the last loofah flower in front of him.

……

The weeding saw flew, and the head of the loofah flower was cut open and turned aside.

The battle was finally won. Zheng Zhuo pressed his shoulders and looked at the mess in front of him.

Fallen plants, destroyed stone walls and wounded oneself.

This was the most painful battle he had ever experienced since entering the World of Plant Disasters.

“…… Belch! ”

The pain in the shoulder is getting worse because of the exertion.

Before he can clean up the battlefield, he needs some medicine.

……

[Alchemy materials (large quantities): water, wooden sticks, white grass, wood gum, hard-shell fragments, vines, plant ash, broad leaves, rhizome mucus, wheat flour, pig iron, prismatic thorns]

[Alchemy material (small amount): corrosive liquid, pig iron, steel]

……

[Water] + [Rhizome Mucus] + [White Grass] + [Ash of Plants] = [Wound Ointment]

……

Plants bring a lot of disasters, but they also bring some benefits.

After consulting the "Alchemy Dictionary", Zheng Zhuo found the medicine. He had to admit that in this world, "herbs" may be the least lacking material.

After a simple boil, it is a dressing.

"Shhh

It's nothing better than when you're injured. It's better to say that it hurts more.

It's like a hundred needles are pierced into a wound.

Zheng Zhuo fell to the ground. For ten minutes, he was convulsing.

However, when he got up from the ground again......

“…… It seems like...... It's better......"

The pain was greatly reduced. The right hand also regained a little strength.

"If it can work so quickly in reality, it is definitely a miracle drug."

Zheng Zhuo moved his shoulders and muttered to himself.

When.

He moved a little more, and something fell out of his pocket.

Zheng Zhuo bent down and picked it up.

That's what he's worked so hard to get, [Seed of the Serpent Vine].

He looked at the black seed for a moment and began to consult the Alchemy Dictionary.

……

[Water] + [White Grass] + [Snake Vine Seed] = [Meek Improved Snake Vine Seed]

Description: When planted in the ground, it grows a docile and improved snake vine. Possess a certain amount of intelligence, and can command all the [Meek Improvement] crops in your possession and carry out simple work orders. (Converting "Crop" to "Crop/Population")

[Water] + [Dirty Water*] + [Snake Vine Seed] = [Manic Modified Snake Vine Seed]

Description: When planted in the ground, it grows a grumpy improved snake vine. Climb to the edge of the forest to quickly spot invasive monsters and try to capture them. Captured plants will join the patrol.

*This is an unconventional alchemy material

……

Very strong.

Both are strong. Zheng Zhuo was dumbfounded.

"It's worth it to pay an extra arm......"

No, no, no. What dangerous thoughts?

Zheng Zhuo shook his head violently.

Serpentine Vine's [Meek Improvement] allows the existing loofah flower to work for itself - in this way, the work of grinding, searching for materials, and removing the grass at the junction can be left to it and Serpent Vine.

[Manic Improvement] has a simple and crude prevention function. Capture monster plants and enslave them...... The temptation is also very great.

"Precautionary? After all, the wall is broken. Not ......"

Get some stones to reinforce the wall. Even if there are not enough stones, it is also possible to remove all the barbed wire in the middle and move it near the fence to make a reinforced fence. It is not as strong as a stone wall, but it can also have a certain degree of defense.

And if other seeds can be obtained in the future, the meek and improved snake vine should be able to do more. Moreover, they can also act as a combat force in times of emergency.

No, think about it that way...... You can also dispose of strange plants captured by the Manic Modified Snake Vine and turn them into materials or seeds......

It's too hard to decide.

"Or vote?"
