Chapter 540 Herbs with Eyeballs

Lin Xiyue stared in astonishment at the scene before her vision was quickly obscured by thick fog.

In a short period of time, she could barely see her own fingers, as if she were in a chaotic world.

"Ah, Amo!"

She couldn't help but feel a little scared, and subconsciously called out Meros's name.

At the same time, Meros reacted with unusual speed.

Almost at the same moment Lin Xiyue cried out, his hand flashed through the thick fog and accurately grasped Lin Xiyue's hand.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

His voice was calm and firm, as if it could penetrate the thick fog and reach Lin Xiyue's heart directly.

This simple sentence was like a warm current, instantly dispelling the fear and unease in Lin Xiyue's heart.

She held Meros's hand tightly, feeling the warmth and strength emanating from it, and her emotions gradually calmed down. She was no longer so nervous.

What's causing this fog?

After calming down a bit, Lin Xiyue finally spoke and asked.

"This is simply because the temperature difference between the room and the box is too great, causing the moisture in the box to evaporate rapidly."

Don't worry, the fog will dissipate soon. There's also a defogging system in the room, which should be starting up soon.

Meros explained patiently.

As he expected, the moment Meros finished speaking, as if sensing the unusual water mist in the room, a low mechanical start-up sound suddenly rang out.

The sound seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet environment, but it didn't make people feel uncomfortable.

Accompanied by the mechanical sound, the fog, which was originally so thick that it was almost impossible to see, seemed to be pulled by a powerful suction force and quickly flowed towards the ceiling.

In the blink of an eye, the mist vanished without a trace, as if swallowed by an invisible gaping hole.

As the fog dissipated, Lin Xiyue's vision finally became clear.

She looked closely and saw the scene inside the box unfold before her eyes.

Inside the box was an extremely beautiful and exotic flower.

This flower has a rather peculiar shape; its petals are layered upon layered, like delicate silk, soft and gorgeous.

The flowers are also quite special in color; they are neither the common red nor white, but a gradient of orange-red, exuding a mysterious aura.

Lin Xiyue gazed at the flower, and a sense of familiarity welled up in her heart.

She suddenly remembered that the flower looked quite similar to a type of flower called dahlia that her grandparents used to grow when she was a child on Earth.

The dahlia on Earth is a very elaborate and auspicious flower.

They have huge flower heads, petals as soft as silk, and come in many different colors. When they bloom together, the scene is both beautiful and magnificent, making them very popular.

Moreover, dahlias are very easy to care for, which is why Lin Xiyue often heard the elderly say, "Plant dahlias at home, and wealth will naturally come."

However, the flower in the box was different.

Although it looks similar to a dahlia, its color and texture are completely different.

The petals of this flower resemble flowing lava, displaying a dazzling and bright yellow color near the center.

From the center of the flower to the edge of the petals, the color gradually changes, turning orange-red, then red, and finally, at the tip of the petals, it becomes a grayish-black color, like magma after it has completely cooled.

The seemingly flowing lava is not just a visual illusion; it is actually flowing on the petals.

In addition, the stems connecting the flowers are also unique, resembling semi-transparent obsidian, giving them a mysterious and luxurious feel.

All of this makes this flower more of a fine work of art than a plant.

To be honest, if Moros hadn't told her that this was a plant that could be grown, Lin Xiyue would probably have thought without hesitation that it was just an exquisite work of art.

"What's the use of this?"

Lin Xiyue looked troubled and somewhat at a loss as she gazed at the flower before her.

The scorching heat emanating from this flower can be clearly felt even from a distance, as if it were a flame from hell, making people afraid to touch it easily.

"Amo, what kind of flower is this? It looks so special, and it seems dangerous."

Lin Xiyue hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to ask Molos, since she knew nothing about this mysterious flower and really didn't know what to do.

Meros seemed unconcerned by the flower's scorching heat. He smiled slightly and then took the flower out of the container without hesitation.

Lin Xiyue looked at him in surprise, secretly marveling at how different the alien races were from humans.

However, when Moros took out the flower, Lin Xiyue discovered that there was another layer underneath it.

This layer is cleverly separated, and its secrets are difficult to discover without careful observation.

Without pausing, Meros quickly removed the partition, revealing the scene below. Lin Xiyue looked closely and saw a large pile of boxes of various sizes stacked together, looking somewhat chaotic.

What is the connection between these boxes and this flower?

Lin Xiyue asked curiously.

“These boxes contain special herbs and materials that, when combined with this flower, can perfectly suppress the deterioration of my soul.”

As Melos took out the boxes one by one, he patiently explained.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiyue couldn't help but become very interested in the contents of these boxes.

She moved closer, wanting to see what magical things were inside the boxes.

After speaking, Meros slowly opened each of the small boxes.

As the lid was lifted, a faint herbal aroma wafted out.

Lin Xiyue looked closely and saw that the boxes were indeed filled with herbs and materials, just as Moros had said, but their appearance was quite different from what she was familiar with.

These herbs and materials are clearly of foreign origin, with very peculiar shapes and colors.

Lin Xiyue was surprised to find that on a dried herb leaf, there were shriveled, eyeball-like things growing on it, and some seeds that looked like chili peppers had fallen to the bottom of the box.

Upon closer inspection of the other herbs and materials, some had extra eyes, some had extra teeth, and some even had strange tentacles.
