Lin Yun forcibly turned the Tabby Cat’s head back toward the cactus and said word by word, "I really was fighting the mutated cactus! I wasn’t playing with poop!"

The Tabby Cat nodded perfunctorily, meowing to appease Lin Yun.

Okay, okay. If you say you weren’t, then you weren’t. If you don’t admit it, there’s nothing the cat can do. Since you’ve explained it that way, the cat will pretend to believe you for now.

Since you’re already playing with poop, go ahead and play. It’s okay. Even if you smell bad, the cat will still love you. After all, the cat spoils you.

After hearing the translation, Lin Yun gave up completely and turned to vent her anger on the mutated cactus.

It was all its fault.

If it weren’t for this thing, would she have taken out those rotten sunflower seeds?

No!

"Little Vine, deal with it."

Ghost Vine, which had been watching the show from the sidelines for a long time, finally grew to a gigantic size and stretched out its vines toward the cactus.

The vines lashed fiercely at the mutated cactus like whips, kicking up clouds of dust.

Many of the sharp spines covering the cactus broke off with a series of crackling sounds.

However, the mutated cactus was no pushover either.

It suddenly shook its body, sending countless sharp thorns shooting toward Ghost Vine like hidden weapons.

Ghost Vine twisted its vines nimbly, dodging most of the thorns, but a few still managed to pierce its body.

Ghost Vine felt the pain and immediately lashed out again.

Seeing this, Lin Yun hurriedly took out several Frost Sunflower Seeds from her backpack and threw them at the mutated cactus.

The mutated cactus was enormous, making it an excellent target.

Several Frost Sunflower Seeds struck its thorns and exploded instantly.

The parts of the cactus they touched were immediately frozen before shattering and scattering in all directions.

The mutated cactus was even more ruthless than Lin Yun had expected.

It didn’t hesitate to abandon the frozen section and immediately swung one of its thick, sharp thorns, slicing the frozen part off.

Lin Yun was shocked.

She hadn’t expected the mutated cactus to be so ruthless even toward its own body.

Before she could react, the mutated cactus seized the opening in Ghost Vine’s attack and suddenly shot a thick, sharp thorn toward her.

Lin Yun instinctively dodged to the side.

The thorn grazed her shoulder, leaving behind a bloody mark.

Seeing this, the Tabby Cat let out an angry meow.

Its fur stood on end, its back arched, and it let out a low growl before charging toward the mutated cactus.

Lin Yun was startled and hurriedly shouted, "Kitty, come back!"

The mutated cactus was covered in sharp thorns. She didn’t even dare approach it.

How had this silly cat suddenly charged straight at it?

But the Tabby Cat refused to listen.

It leaped into the air and pounced onto the mutated cactus, opening its mouth to bite.

Enraged, the mutated cactus shook its body violently, trying to throw the Tabby Cat off.

Lin Yun became extremely anxious.

She immediately ordered Ghost Vine to rescue the cat.

Ghost Vine swiftly extended its vines, wrapped them around the Tabby Cat, and pulled it back.

"Meow, meow!"

Why are you pulling me?! Let me bite it to death! Cats aren’t afraid!

Lin Yun didn’t know that the mutated Tabby Cat’s paw pads were extremely thick, and the mutated cactus’s thorns couldn’t pierce them.

Once the Tabby Cat was put down, it immediately seized the opportunity to charge forward again.

"Meow, meow!"

Dead vine, hurry up and tell her! The cat isn’t afraid! Don’t stop me! Let me tear this poop grass apart!

Ghost Vine paused speechlessly before translating the Tabby Cat’s words for Lin Yun.

Its paw pads and thick fur could protect it from the thorns.

After hearing this, Lin Yun glanced at the Tabby Cat, which had already charged forward again.

She had no choice but to let it do as it pleased.

I’ll have to give this cat a proper check-up later.

Lin Yun stopped standing around and pulled out her stem stick, swinging it toward the mutated cactus where the thorns had already been removed.

Her strength had increased considerably.

With one powerful strike, the thick cactus section was driven downward.

The mutated cactus let out a shrill scream.

The sound made the heads of everyone present—one human, one vine, and several animals—throb with pain.

Lin Yun shook her head and continued swinging the stick at the mutated cactus.

She was so angry that she no longer cared about the Tabby Cat and Ghost Vine clinging to its body.

The mutated cactus suddenly swung one of its enormous cactus sections toward Lin Yun.

Ghost Vine reacted faster.

It quickly wrapped itself around Lin Yun and pulled her aside before lashing out at the mutated cactus once more.

The Tabby Cat’s bite force was astonishing.

Almost every time it bit down and tore, it managed to rip off a thick section of the cactus.

It deliberately avoided the areas covered with sharp thorns, focusing only on the sections without them.

The Monkey King followed the Tabby Cat and climbed onto the mutated cactus.

It plucked off its sharp thorns one by one and threw them onto the ground, preventing the cactus from using them to attack.

The mutated cactus was furious!

How could anyone be so shameless as to pluck off its thorns?!

It desperately released a sweet fragrance, trying to confuse its enemies.

Unfortunately, it didn’t know that the smell from the rotten sunflower seed had already completely overwhelmed the fragrance of its flowers.

Lin Yun continued striking the same spot with her stem stick.

Finally, with one last powerful blow, the enormous cactus section collapsed.

She continued dodging the mutated cactus’s attacks while repeatedly targeting the base of the cactus she had discovered earlier.

That was its weakest point.

At that moment—

The mutated cactus suddenly shook violently.

Green sap splattered from the broken and bitten sections.

Then, something completely unexpected happened.

The mutated cactus suddenly split into several smaller cacti.

Each one was roughly the size of Lin Yun.

They scattered in different directions and immediately attacked Lin Yun and Ghost Vine.

"I’m blanching?!"

Lin Yun swore.

So this was what the system meant when it said the cactus was different?

This wasn’t a little different!

This was a huge difference!

And most importantly—

After splitting into smaller cacti, they could actually move freely!

Wasn’t a cactus supposed to be rooted in the ground, unable to move and forced to sit there like a target?

Lin Yun’s vision went dark again.

Her hands mechanically swung the stem stick at the small cacti.

After the Tabby Cat and Monkey King fell from the mutated cactus, they were both stunned by the scene before them.

They had never seen anything like this.

Ghost Vine, however, didn’t react much.

Back in its territory, plants capable of splitting themselves had occasionally grown there as well.

Those plants had been too weak, though, and Ghost Vine had never been interested in them.

It had simply blown them apart in one bite, leaving nothing behind.

Numerous small cacti quickly approached.

Lin Yun took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

"These small cacti are even harder to deal with than the original one, so be careful!"

"Meow!"

"Roar!"

The two animals responded to Lin Yun.

Ghost Vine’s vines swayed like giant pythons, protecting Lin Yun, the Tabby Cat, and the Monkey King in the center while blocking the small cacti’s attacks.

The Tabby Cat and Monkey King weren’t idle either.

The Tabby Cat leaped toward the nearest small cactus, opened its mouth, and bit down, tearing off one section after another.

The Monkey King used both hands and feet to quickly pluck off the small cactus’s sharp thorns before tearing away its sections as well.

Lin Yun seized another opportunity.

She raised her stem stick and smashed it hard against the joint of one of the small cacti.

With one strike, the small cactus cracked open.

Green sap splattered all over Lin Yun’s face.

She ignored it and continued swinging the stick.

Just as the battle reached a stalemate, Lin Yun suddenly noticed something.

The small cacti seemed to be slowly gathering together.

It looked as though they were preparing to merge back into one giant cactus.

Lin Yun immediately realized what was happening.

She couldn’t let them succeed.

"They look like they can’t hold on much longer! Don’t let them gather back together!"

Hearing this, the animals attacked even more fiercely.

The small cacti became irritated.

These enemies were too troublesome!

They immediately launched another barrage of thorns.

Ghost Vine instantly spread its vines around Lin Yun and the two animals, shielding them from the attack.

Lin Yun reached into her backpack and pulled out another handful of Exploding Sunflower Seeds.

There weren’t many left.

She had originally intended to use them sparingly, but at this point, she couldn’t afford to hold back.

As soon as Ghost Vine’s vines dispersed, Lin Yun immediately threw the Exploding Sunflower Seeds toward the area where the small cacti were gathering.

A tremendous explosion rang out.

After the smoke cleared, many of the small cacti had been blasted into pieces.

Too many of them had died.

The remaining small cacti could no longer reassemble into the original mutated cactus.

They no longer dared to fight their enemies either.

They immediately turned around and fled.

But Lin Yun understood the importance of eliminating a threat at its roots.

Besides, these small cacti could move on their own.

She would be staying in this world for a long time.

What if one of them suddenly attacked her while she was exploring the mountains?

Those sharp thorns were extremely difficult to defend against.

To avoid future trouble, none of these small cacti could be allowed to escape.

Under their pursuit and interception, the fleeing small cacti were gradually eliminated.

In the end, only piles of broken cactus pieces and green sap remained.

Lin Yun let out a long sigh before collapsing onto the ground.

That fight had been exhausting.

She had been swinging the stem stick over and over, and her hands were already beginning to ache from gripping it so tightly.

"Meow..."

The Tabby Cat also collapsed onto the ground, completely exhausted.

The small cacti had been surprisingly fast when they fled.

The cat had to chase several of them, and its claws almost split from the effort.

The Monkey King likewise collapsed onto the ground.

It had never experienced a battle on such a scale before and was completely exhausted.

Ghost Vine, however, was perfectly fine.

It acted as though nothing had happened, calmly pulling the remaining thorns out of its body.
