There had been no Strange Beasts along the gentle slope of the hills, so the two of them picked up their pace and entered the Nursery. Looking up, they saw countless lush green plants swaying amid the wind and snow, and both their eyes practically turned into strings of coins. The plants before them were priceless beyond measure. If any one of them appeared in the Martial Arts World, it would certainly spark a frantic scramble.
If this had been in the past, it might have caused a bloody storm. Unless a batch of Martial Artists died over them, their value could not have been properly shown off.
But the plants before them now were simply...
Sigh! If only every plant in sight could become mine.
They felt somewhat depressed. If only there were no Strange Beasts in the Nursery, this expedition would have been nothing less than a journey to fortune.
The two stared and stared, their eyes burning, yet neither took a single step forward. They had already experienced the dangers within the Nursery before, so they decided to observe first. Besides, they had come here to investigate the Strange Beasts' abilities. Other Martial Artists would naturally handle the gathering of plants.
However, when Qian Ying saw the plants in the Nursery, he felt that something was off.
"Elder Zhou, look over there. Is there something wrong?" Qian Ying pointed at a Golden-edged Snow Lotus not far away and asked Zhou Zixing.
Zhou Zixing looked over and found that several Golden-edged Snow Lotuses had actually turned into chunks of ice. They were incomplete chunks, with some leaves and stems still unfrozen, but the plants had lost all signs of life and were even beginning to blacken. They had apparently frozen to death.
That should not have been possible.
