Sun Muchen then exclaimed "Ouch!" and said, "Brother, that herring beetle's shell is incredibly hard, you can't just fight it head-on!"

Wang Lan was taken aback, then cursed, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Sun Muchen looked completely innocent. "You attacked before I could even finish speaking!"

Wang Lan was speechless for a moment, then turned around to look.

Suddenly, even more insects appeared behind him, including large herring beetles that were hot on his heels. It was unclear whether it was because Wang Lan had just knocked their companions away, but for some reason, these insects suddenly stopped when Wang Lan looked over.

Then they scattered like birds and beasts in an instant.

Regardless, Wang Lan was overjoyed and turned to Sun Muchen, saying, "Let's not chase these bugs anymore!"

"What?"

Sun Muchen was startled and turned around to look.

Sure enough, the insects behind them either stopped or scattered, and in any case, they stopped chasing.

Sun Muchen was immediately filled with excitement.

However, just as the brother and sister were about to turn around and sprint at full speed, they suddenly crashed into a tree.

The two people who were running at high speed were suddenly bounced back and fell to the ground.

Wang Lan was so dizzy from the fall that she struggled to her feet. She looked up and asked in confusion, "Why is there a tree here?"

Sun Muchen was also quite disoriented after the fall. He looked up at the tree Wang Lan had mentioned and asked curiously, "This tree... seems a bit different?"

The other trees are brown or dark brown.

Only this tree in front of us...

The trunk was not only grayish in color, but also appeared thinner than other trees.

The brother and sister looked at each other in bewilderment.

But then... the tree started to move!
