It might not have been apparent from a distance, but up close, shaking off the "snow" covering these plants revealed that they were actually made of pure crystal, remarkably lifelike.
Su Na watched for a while, then brushed aside the snow at her feet, which was more than ten centimeters thick. Some weeds affected by Crystallization were buried beneath it, equally realistic.
The translucent patterns of their leaf veins readily brought to mind frost frozen onto plants in the depths of winter.
Once removed intact, the patterns imprinted in the frost would become visible.
But these crystal weeds were even more realistic. They were solid, complete plants, with not only their leaves but also their stems and root systems made of crystal.
Su Na frowned, stood up, and examined the half-meter-tall crystal shrub before her again.
There was no way this thing was man-made. Otherwise, it should have been displayed in an art gallery rather than out in the wild.
The only possibility was... it had been transformed from a real plant.
For some reason, it had changed into its current state.
Su Na checked the system activity log, which displayed information about the plant.
[Name: Crystalline Plant (shrub)] [Description: A plant infected with crystalline disease that has transformed into a crystalline body. Small crystalline plants can be melted down and fused into crystal. Large crystalline plants can also be converted into crystal after being felled and collected. Certain crystalline plants can be converted into crystal diamond after being felled.]
After reading the information, Su Na narrowed her eyes slightly, finally understanding what was going on.
This was probably the endpoint of their current voyage, a special island covered in crystal and crystal diamond.
Even the ground had undergone Crystallization, though it was rather cloudy. Crystallized rocks,
