Chapter 48 The Power Apple Tree, Mental Mutation Spider Silk
Su Jinjin's condition is not very good.
At that moment, her whole body ached, her head ached, and her stomach ached.
Stomach: It's just from being hungry due to excessive energy expenditure.
He quickly took out some compressed biscuits from the storage space and stuffed them into his mouth.
The battlefield was quickly cleared, and the recycling system directly collected the corpses of the giant spiders that had died from fighting each other.
[Ding! Successfully collected 24 Giant Spiders]
Current progress: 271/100
Su Jinjin looked at the system notification indicating that the collection target had already been exceeded.
He realized that he had hunted more than one hundred giant spiders.
She had a very fruitful haul this time, but decided that she would now look for other types of insect monsters to complete her collection mission.
"I wonder what the final reward for mission two will be. I'm really looking forward to it. It's a pity that I can't get it now. I can only find out after I return."
However, Su Jinjin looked towards the center of the garden.
"Power Apple, here I come!"
Despite the pain in her ribs, Su Jinjin retrieved the precious corpse of the Spider Queen, the [Insect Whisperer], into the system.
Just as she approached the grotesque corpse, she suddenly remembered the emerald green scythe made from the forelegs of a mantis in Cheng Cheng's hand.
Su Jinjin examined the Spider Queen's corpse thoughtfully, a shrewd glint in her eyes.
"Maybe this guy has some good materials on him..."
Her gaze deliberately avoided the Spider Queen's overly human-like upper body.
The pale face and the half-naked female body made her feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
He then focused his attention on the huge red spider body on his lower body.
"Venomous Fang…" Su Jinjin's eyes lit up as she immediately recalled that the Spider Queen possessed the skill [Venomous Fang] from the information she had seen through the Eye of the Resume.
Su Jinjin carefully used her silver needle sword to pry open the spider queen's ferocious mouthparts and, sure enough, discovered a pair of huge fangs with a ghostly green luster.
"This is a good thing!" She put on protective gloves and struggled to remove the two nearly thirty-centimeter-long fangs intact.
Then I used the "Item Identification" function on the analytical glasses to look at the data.
The Spider Queen's Fang
[Characteristics: Highly toxic, corrosive]
The joy of reaping the spoils slightly lessened the physical pain.
Su Jinjin carefully put away the venomous fangs and turned to head quickly toward the center of the garden.
Since Su Jinjin had already dealt with the spider swarm, the journey was unexpectedly safe.
After passing through the last patch of bushes covered in spiderwebs, the sight before her made Su Jinjin hold her breath—
A huge green apple tree stood in the center of the garden, its trunk and branches entwined with dense, silvery-white spider silk that gleamed eerily against the blood-red sky.
These spider silks, as if alive, slowly wriggled, wrapping the entire tree into a giant nest.
Even more striking was the sight of a dozen or so apples hanging on the tree, each the size of a fist, with spiderweb-like red patterns on their skin.
"This is... the Power Apple Tree?" Su Jinjin cautiously approached.
We arrived at the apple tree that emitted a soft, bluish glow.
All around was silent, except for the rustling of leaves in the breeze.
Once she was sure it was safe, she did not hesitate to begin picking the precious fruit.
"One, two, three..."
With each Power Apple she picked, Su Jinjin could feel the warm pulse in her palm, as if these fruits had their own life.
In the end, she collected all 17 ripe green apples on the tree into her spatial storage.
Initiate item identification using analytical glasses.
[Power Apple]
[Effect: Permanently increases Strength attribute by 0.5%, with a very small chance of gaining a special ability]
[Note: Each person may take a maximum of five pills.]
Looking at the 17 precious fruits in the space, and then at the apple tree that had been picked clean.
Su Jinjin suddenly had a bold idea.
If only we could take the whole tree with us!
However, reality soon dealt her a heavy blow.
However, her scavenging backpack had limited space; it already contained a carrion plant, so there was no way to fit such a huge apple tree inside.
Of course, even without the carrion flower, she couldn't fit the entire five-meter-tall apple tree into the scavenging backpack's space.
"Sigh, if only the space could be upgraded."
Su Jinjin sighed, hoping her wish would come true.
"If we can't take the whole tree, we can at least take the branches…" Su Jinjin's eyes gleamed with shrewdness. "Maybe we can propagate new apple trees from cuttings when we get back?"
Thinking about it, she felt it was feasible. Her family already grew other vegetables anyway, so one more apple tree branch wouldn't make a difference.
Let's get right to it.
She took out a sharp axe from her spatial storage and began hacking at the thick tree trunk.
The axe blade struck the wood with a dull thud, and soon the lush Power Apple tree was reduced to a bare trunk.
Su Jinjin carefully tied up the cut branches and was about to put them into her spatial storage when she suddenly noticed something strange about the spider silk scattered on the ground.
These white threads, which should have been lifeless, were now wriggling in the wind, stretching out in a certain direction as if they were alive.
"This is…" Su Jinjin squatted down and gently picked up a strand of spider silk with the tip of her axe.
Surprisingly, the spider silk was exceptionally tough, and even an axe blade could not easily cut it.
Even more strangely, when she brought the spider silk closer to observe it, faint red patterns appeared on the surface of the silk, which was somewhat different from the spider silk that the spider queen had previously sprayed.
Item identification
[The Spiderweb of Mental Mutation]
[Effect: After binding a target, the target can be controlled as a puppet.]
"This thing… is interesting…" Su Jinjin's eyes lit up, and she immediately changed her plans.
Anyway, there are many apple tree branches, so we can collect a lot.
Now everyone's attention is drawn to these mutated mental spider silks.
Instead, they began collecting the strange spider silk.
"Is there only one mutated spider silk?"
Through item identification, Su Jinjin only detected a single thread of "mental mutation".
Even ordinary spider silk is good.
Spider silk
Effect: High flexibility.
Su Jinjin believes that ordinary spider silk can also be used to make clothes.
They were collected together.
As she continued collecting, she discovered that all the spider silks pointed in the same direction.
Deep within the garden lies a ruin covered in vines.
Her intuition told her that there might be a bigger secret hidden there.
Su Jinjin stored the last strand of spider silk in her spatial storage and turned her gaze to the dark ruins.
She's got the Power Apple, but now she has a new goal.
"Anyway, there's still time..." Su Jinjin glanced at the remaining survival time displayed by the system; there were still more than two days left. She gripped her axe tightly and stepped towards the direction indicated by the spider silk, "Let's see what good stuff is inside."
As she approached the ruins.
The red fog in the air seemed to grow thicker, and the surrounding plants became increasingly distorted and bizarre.
Just as she parted the last vine, the scene before her eyes surprised Su Jinjin.
Because a motorhome appeared in front of her.
