Chapter 836: Chapter 836: Extra - Daily Life of Tormenting Dogs and Spreading Sweetness 17

The young girl felt a bit irritable, a flicker of hostility in her eyes, but she was still too interested in that male mermaid. Thus, a vine extended and pierced right into Huo Zhirui’s palm.

The leaf-green energy that had been cleanly extracted was once again injected into Huo Zhirui’s body. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

The excessive pain, instead, excited Huo Zhirui. He clenched his scales, "Sir, rest assured, I will definitely accomplish what you’ve asked!"

He turned around and started running back, and the mutant plants automatically made way for him... because they all seemed to fear that girl’s vine.

Watching Huo Zhirui’s back, the girl sneered coldly, "Idiot, your body can’t withstand a second infection."

What awaited Huo Zhirui could only be a dead end.

But what did that have to do with her?

Right now, she was very interested in that male mermaid.

Her name was Shen Yue, the only daughter of the Sea Demon Queen and the most talented and enchanting Sea Demon.

Shen Yue had always yearned for the world beyond the vast ocean, but her mother had told her never to fall in love with humans, because humans were liars, extremely treacherous and cruel.

Shen Yue didn’t believe it until one of her childhood friends, who trusted a human man, was captured, and displayed in a glass tank every day.

Shen Yue originally planned to save her friend, but when she finally found the exhibition hall, she discovered her friend had already been turned into a specimen!

In the corner of her friend’s eye, there seemed to be a drop of regretful tear.

Since then, Shen Yue had hated humans, especially human men!

And when she became an adult, ready to inherit her mother’s title as the Sea Demon Queen, the stars suddenly turned strange. A huge meteor crashed into the sea, raising monstrous waves and creating eerie whirlpools.

Shen Yue pushed her mother out of the whirlpool just in time, but she herself was swallowed by it.

When she opened her eyes again, Shen Yue found herself on this strange planet. A King Vine had just matured and produced a seed, which she accidentally swallowed.

Shen Yue was then parasitized by this King Vine and could never leave this lake again.

Loneliness and irritation, along with the longing for her mother and clansmen, engulfed her every day.

Sometimes, humans would appear. Although these humans were different from what Shen Yue knew, she remained vigilant and resentful toward them.

Whenever the mutant plants devoured these humans, she stood by and watched.

Not actively consuming those humans’ flesh and blood was already Shen Yue’s bottom line, because she knew humans were cunning!

But there were exceptions.

After all, life was too dull and boring.

That man named Huo Zhirui, seeing his companions captured by the mutant plants, knelt there weeping, insisting he didn’t want to die and wanted to become very powerful!

When he was about to be caught by the mutant plants, Shen Yue stopped the mutant plant.

Shen Yue asked Huo Zhirui why he wanted to become strong.

Huo Zhirui shared his father’s regret from the past, expressing that he was born at the wrong time, and because he wasn’t a Beastman, he was reduced to being a mere support staff on a remote planet.

Shen Yue thought this man was quite a fool. If his father had married the excellent Su Wan back then, would he even have been born?

Although Shen Yue thought Huo Zhirui was an idiot, she was very interested in Su Wan.

The reason being, Su Wan was a Mermaid Beastman.

On this barren planet, most humans were ordinary, pureblooded humans as they called them here.

But this Su Wan, a Mermaid Beastman, and most intriguingly, she was an evolved one?

From video messaging, Shen Yue knew that the Mermaid Beastmen here were very similar to their Sea Demons, perhaps even the same race.

Due to her distrust of other species, Shen Yue was eager to find the Mermaid Beastmen. So, she helped Huo Zhirui and through him, sought information on the Mermaid Beastmen.

As for Huo Zhirui wanting to be parasitized by the mutant plants to become stronger, even contaminating his unsuspecting colleagues... Shen Yue just marveled at how right her mother was, that humans were truly despicable!

The Sea Demons were still better!

Now, watching Huo Zhirui stumble away, she eagerly anticipated that he would deliver her scale to the Mermaid Beastman!

It had been so long since she had seen one of her own kind.

Meanwhile, holding the scale, Huo Zhirui hesitated for a moment, wondering if this object belonged to that esteemed mermaid’s tail, and if it might be a treasure?

His rain-drenched head felt calm and clear for a moment.

This thought flashed through Huo Zhirui’s mind, but he didn’t know how to use the scale. More importantly, if the esteemed one found out he did so... would he be punished?

Huo Zhirui had great ambition but little courage.

He carefully put the scale into his pocket, thinking that even if he might be caught when returning, as long as he completed the esteemed one’s task, she would take over the base.

Then, he would still gain his freedom!

**

In the base, everyone looked very grave because the Star Warrior teams that went out had all been attacked to varying degrees, mainly due to the mutant plants on this planet. They were simply too crazy.

They grew too fast!

Most importantly, as soon as the Star Warriors approached these mutant plants, they’d easily lose their minds and then attack each other.

This was most severe near that lake!

The mutant plants near the lake were also the most ferocious and dense!

Adolf frowned at Cairo, "These plants are so ferocious; why didn’t you report sooner?"

Cairo was also troubled, "I didn’t know they grew so fast. When I reported earlier, there were only a few mutant plants, and their area just met the reporting threshold."

Gu Yu said from the side, "These mutant plants are very strange. I think they must have a leader of sorts. Once we find the mutant plant king, the rest will be easy to handle."

Adolf rubbed his bald head, feeling a bit distressed.

Thank goodness he was already bald.

Frowning, he said, "The key issue is that the thing is too difficult to deal with. We don’t even know what it looks like, yet it has repeatedly disrupted our minds, causing infighting."

"We’ll wait for the reinforcements. Then, we’ll concentrate our forces and head to that lake!"

Gu Yu knew that this time, Bai Li had come along with Xiaoyan. Bai Li was unfathomable and as the god of the Insect Clan, he might be able to handle this thorny problem.

Moreover, he decided that when they went to the lake, he would go along too.

Just then, someone came in to report, "Huo Zhirui has been caught!"
