Chapter 12 The Man-Eating Willow Tree
What kind of plot would be more appropriate for Wu Miao to "awaken"?
Tang Xuan and Hepu argued about this issue all the way.
Tang Xuan believed that arranging a crisis for her would stimulate her to awaken in a desperate situation.
Hepu believed that because he repeated his old tricks, he appeared in front of her as a divine messenger to help her awaken.
Neither side is willing to back down.
Seeing that Sunflower was about to find where Wu Miao was, Tang Xuan was still wasting time.
"No more arguing, let's merge the two plans together. What do you think..."
After hearing Tang Xuan's opinion, Hepu couldn't help but sigh.
[Tang Xuan, you really don’t look like a human being sometimes. 】
"Don't make it sound like I'm a devil. I don't mean to destroy the world. After all, my purpose is just to turn back into a human being."
[Forget it, I'm in the same boat with you anyway, as long as If you don’t violate my principles, I’ll just accompany you. 】
“Get ready for the virus and let the world’s first mutated creature appear.”
In the bustling street, a figure wearing a small poncho shuttled back and forth among the crowd. With.
“Whose child is wearing a raincoat on a sunny day?”
"Hahahaha, the child is naughty. At first glance, it is a picked up raincoat. It is in tatters."
"Hey! Child! Why did you run through the red light!"
I saw this child running through the red light. On the expressway, a passerby caught him with quick eyes and quick hands.
But the next moment, he pulled off the poncho with a light move of his hand, but there was nothing under the poncho.
“Huh? Where are the people?”
"Look! What's on the street lamp!"
People around looked for a sound, and saw a strange-looking creature, something that jumped over the street lamp.
There is a distance of more than ten meters between each street lamp, but it can jump over in one go. This is such an amazing jumping ability.
“Now is not the time to waste time here, we must find the mechanical goddess quickly.”
Originally, it wanted to avoid being noticed. The earlier this situation is exposed, the easier it is to be secretly discovered. The enemy discovered.
But seeing that it was about to reach the location of the mechanical goddess, it didn't care so much.
However, the destination was right in front of it, and it suddenly stopped.
An inexplicable sense of crisis suddenly emerged, and it immediately realized something.
"Could it be..."
Sioux City is a city with very good green areas. There is greenery everywhere you look.
Next to a river, there is a row of willow trees in good condition.
The rivers in Sioux City are all living water rivers left over from ancient rivers, so there are many fish and shrimps in the water.
This small river is interspersed between several residential areas.
The scenery is beautiful and the water outlet is good. It is a geomantic treasure spot for many fishing enthusiasts nearby.
Lao Liu was in a particularly good mood today. From the time he made the nest to the present, in less than half an hour, he had hooked four or five fish the size of a shoe.
"Hey! Old Liu, you are so lucky today!"
"Hahahaha, it's not bad, it's not bad. Just catch another one and go. This nest is good, I'll give it to you."
"Okay, it just so happens that none of them came up from my side."
While speaking, the fishhook reacted again.
"Haha, come as soon as you say it! Ouch, you are very strong, come up!"
"Good guy, big bass! Come on, let me help you fish the net."
The two of them worked together to get the fish up, but just as Lao Liu happily put the fish into the water next to it When he was in the basin, he was suddenly stunned.
“Eh!? Where’s my fish!”
My friend next to him was dumbfounded when he heard the sound.
“When did you run away? Why is there no movement at all?”
When he first came over, there were still several fish crowded inside. As a result, a new one was just pulled up here, but the previous one was gone.
Under the eyes of two living people, they stole the fish without making any noise?
Old Liu stood up and looked around, muttering: "It can't be a nearby cat, right?"
"But let's just say it, the cat stole the fish, wouldn't we notice? What a ghost."
As soon as he finished speaking, a drop of coldness fell on Lao Liu's face.
"Is it raining?"
He touched it subconsciously, and his hand was red.
The two of them looked up at the same time, and the next moment they were stunned by the sight in their eyes.
I saw that the few missing fish were being tied up by a bunch of wriggling willow branches. What just dripped down was the blood from the strangulation of these fish.
But that’s not the most terrifying thing. The living willow trees actually sent these fish to the canopy.
I don’t know when, but a big mouth turned up to the sky.
He chewed the fish with a squeak.
“Woo~~~”
The squirming mouth also made a whimpering sound.
After eating, it seemed a little unsatisfied.
Then the ground squirmed and its roots crawled out like an octopus.
Although there was no face, the two clearly felt that the monster turned towards them.
“Ah~~Ahhh~”
Old Liu collapsed to the ground in fright, and his friends quickly pulled him up.
“Get up and run!”
The two stumbled away and ran away, asking for nothing.
The monster's body moved slowly, and then let out a piercing scream.
“Ah!!!!!”
Then, it moved its rhizome legs, and two people had to chase it, the speed was ridiculously fast.
Not to mention Lao Liu, a retired old man, even his middle-aged friend can't outrun him.
The two of them were grabbed by a pile of branches and carried up high without any resistance.
Looking at the open mouth below, his friend fainted from fright.
And Lao Liu shouted.
"Ah! Help! No! Come quickly! There is a monster! There is a monster eating people!"
Such a sudden change has already been noticed by nearby fishing friends.
But who dared to care, everyone fled for their lives.
Just as they were about to be sent to the big mouth, several rays of golden light flashed past and accurately shattered the willow branches binding them.
Then, a huge leaf stretched out and caught the two people who fell.
Old Liu, who thought he had been saved, looked up and saw a strange-looking sunflower making an expression as he walked past him.
The big leaves holding them up seem to be part of its body.
"Are you okay? It's dangerous here, hurry up..."
"Monster!!!"
Old Liu broke free and ran away, even ignoring his friends.
"I'm not a monster...forget it, I can't explain."
Seeing that he was about to find the location of the mechanical goddess, Sunflower suddenly felt a sense of familiarity and let it repel her. reaction.
After much hesitation, it decided to come over and take a look first.
As expected, a spirit plant from the main war faction was discovered.
No, it is not a spiritual plant. According to the ancestors, they seem to have tampered with the spiritual energy sent over.
The one in front of me is a monster with no power but no thinking.
"Your opponent... is me!" (End of this chapter)
