Chapter Summaries

Sang Luoluo and her group pushed deeper into the mutant-plant forest, where she used her Mental Power to shield them and collect Crystal Cores. After claiming a giant Crystal Core, she discovered that Spirit Spring water could distract the plants, leaving the group able to retrieve more cores as the plants fought over it.
