After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 2142

Chapter 2142: Sunflower Monster Plant

Well, theoretically.

Taming monsters and Wild Roots never truly tempted her because she knew the risks and the problems they could cause were more than what they were worth.

In contrast, a plant with intelligence and the lack of innate bloodlust towards living sapient things was attractive to Althea.

If it could kill beasts but not actively attack humans or their allies, then wouldn’t it add to her fighting force?

She...might even be able to leave it outside Alterra to guard it whenever she was just within the walls.

The image was beautiful, but she had to make it a reality first.

So...how to tame something like this?

Of course, she wasn’t planning on doing it now. She still had a husband to look for, but her brain couldn’t help but think in the background.

It couldn’t be as simple as releasing wood energy or something. When she activated her abilities with wild plants before, she just seemed more delicious to them. She feared being targeted by this. Wild Roots were already troublesome, let alone Monster Roots.

She shook her head and reactivated her [Woodland Camouflage] skill. At the same time, she put the house back in the space, and she dashed in the direction she guessed her husband was.

To be honest, this was inefficient, but what could she do? She could only start by going back to the last clue she had of him, which was that large path created by a large monster.

If she needed to get a viewpoint, she had to go above the trees, so she would climb them often.

It was not practical to create an earth platform every time since the trees here were all very tall. A few platforms that would go above them would consume a lot of mana.

The caveat was that while there were no arboreal beasts here, there were a number of wild roots. Some were pines, and those cones they threw were quite annoying.

She went around and looked for the tallest tree in her path, jumping from trunk to trunk, branch to branch. It was dark from below, and the canopies were dense, so she could only tell which tree was taller than the others by judging whose trunks went beyond the canopies.

She rushed over there and climbed up, controlling the nearby ’normal’ vines to lift herself up quickly. The tall granite mountain was already beyond the horizon by this time, but she could still see the outline if she had the scope, so she at least had a direction.

Of course, they also had compasses built and calibrated to this planet’s magnetic fields. It was a fairly new product though, and she wasn’t sure whether it would be accurate in this place, since there seemed to be a lot of differences.

She rested on the branch for a while, taking this chance to rest and regain some energy while also looking through her scope to where her target location was.

She soon saw a wide path from a distance. While this could be a different one, it was rare. Its location matched her previous location, too, and she immediately decided to run there.

Unexpectedly, before she could jump down, her peripheral vision caught sight of something big and yellow.

It was that sunflower monster plant. At some point, it had also climbed up above the canopies, and its rays were facing her.

????

...

Althea unconsciously raised her hand as if in greeting.

The sunflower tilted its head a bit, the countless sunflower seeds on its face shimmering.

It’s kind of...cute?

One had to know that any one of those ’seeds’ looked like they could impale someone. Imagine the usual tear shape of a sunflower seed, except the edges were sharp and its shape a little more pointed.

It probably wasn’t as sharp as metal, but its damage was probably no joke.

Althea, after a short mental deliberation, decided to interact with it more.
