Chapter 253 Mythical Creatures Are Nothing More Than This

Long live the Divine Plant Cult!

Long live the Divine Plant Cult!

"......"

"What is this? Help!"

"There are demonic plants everywhere, what's going on?"

"Look! There's a big tree in the sky!"

"Aaaaaaah!"

"......"

"Boom—"

Amidst panicked screams, the mythical tree demon, its massive body blotting out the sky, crashed heavily into the center of the stadium, causing the ground to shake violently and sending dust billowing everywhere.

In an instant, the entire stadium collapsed and crumbled.

At first glance, all you could see was a hazy gray dust, with visibility less than a meter.

"Listen up, everyone! Run towards the red light!"

"I'll repeat myself: everyone run towards the red light!"

"Run towards the red light!"

!

"The red light indicates the entrance to the safety passage to the stadium!"

!

"Run towards the red light!"

!

Amidst the swirling dust, Shen Shou released his vital energy, turning his entire body a deep red, allowing the disoriented crowd to clearly see where he stood.

At the same time, he shouted loudly to remind everyone that the place he was standing at was the entrance to the emergency exit.

Seeing this, many high-ranking members of the human race also came to stand in front of other safe passage entrances, imitating Shen Shou's approach, and guided everyone into the safe passages.

Upon hearing the sound, many people realized what was happening and immediately rushed towards the red light.

This running away has really caused problems.

Due to the extremely low visibility and the large number of people, a stampede inevitably occurred.

Many of the weaker individuals were pushed to the ground by those behind them and trampled on.

Fortunately, the gymnasium was mostly filled with teachers and students from universities across the country, who had a certain level of physical strength. Even if many people trampled on them, they would not be in immediate danger of losing their lives.

But it will only last for a short time.

If it gets trampled on for a long time, then it's hard to say.

"There's a demonic plant! Everyone be careful!"

"Ah! My leg is tangled in vines! Someone, please help me!"

"Cough cough... cough cough cough!"

"......"

As the stampede continued to escalate, the entire scene became increasingly chaotic.

But strangely, the surrounding dust did not dissipate.

It seemed to be controlled by some force, and it was only getting stronger.

The high-ranking humans in the stadium also realized this, and immediately, without prior agreement, they destroyed the water pipes in the stadium, causing the tap water inside to spray out and remove the dust floating around.

This method is very effective.

The dust in the stadium quickly dissipated after being moistened.

However!

The dissipation of dust did not calm the crowd; instead, it instilled fear in them, making the scene even more chaotic and filthy.

The moment the dust settled, a colossal tree with a trunk that blotted out the sky and a terrifying appearance came into view, instantly plunging everyone present into despair.

Leaves with bloodshot eyes, branches carved with human and animal faces, grotesquely tentacle-like vines, and roots resembling the limbs of living beings...

The towering tree before me was covered in Cthulhu-like features and filled with fear of the unknown.

"A tree demon! It's actually a tree demon!"

"It's over, it's all over!"

"The current concentration of spiritual energy on Earth has not even recovered to one-tenth of what it was in ancient times. Shouldn't mythical beings still be asleep?!"

"What exactly is going on?"

"The heavens have forsaken the human race!"

"......"

Many knowledgeable high-ranking members of the human race recognized the towering tree before them as the Tree Demon from mythology, and their faces immediately fell into despair.

Upon hearing this, those who were unaware of the situation were instantly filled with fear, their legs went weak, and they trembled uncontrollably.

"Run, everyone!"

As the shout rang out, Shen Shou and his group of human leaders suddenly attacked the tree demon together, buying time for the others to escape.

Upon seeing this, everyone who was still in a daze snapped out of it and ran away without saying a word.

"wishful thinking."

An ancient and weathered voice rang out.

It came from the Tree Demon.

The next second, several tentacle-like vines shot into the sky and swept towards Shen Shou and other high-ranking human leaders.

It was so fast that it created afterimages.

The force was so great that it created a popping sound in the air and a blinding spark.

"sensation--"

The tree demon's vines lashed heavily at the group of human leaders, the powerful impact instantly slamming them into the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.

The human high command, who were attacked, immediately fell silent and completely lost their fighting ability.

However, they did not die, because the tree demon, for some unknown reason, spared them.

"Bang!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Bang! Bang!"

Countless lifeless wooden puppets slid out from the tree demon's dense branches and leaves, crashing to the ground one after another with dull thuds.

Soon, these puppets all rose from the ground in contorted postures and ran wildly in all directions like aberrant creatures, grabbing all the humans who wanted to escape and turning into vines to bind and control them.

In less than a minute, everyone who tried to resist or escape was brought under control.

Only those who stay in one place will escape unscathed.

Long live the Divine Plant Cult!

Long live the Divine Plant Cult!

Long live the Divine Plant Cult!

"......"

Seeing that everyone was under the control of the tree demon, the traitors at the scene shouted again.

Among them were university students, university teachers, high-ranking members of the Night Watch organization, and high-ranking members of the Dawn organization, totaling nearly two hundred people.

This number is extremely alarming.

Many high-ranking members of the human race, who had devoted themselves to the cause, turned pale with anger upon seeing this scene and immediately began to curse these traitors.

Then, they were met with a beating that was not very harmful, but extremely humiliating.

"Fellow countrymen, I believe that at this moment you have all deeply felt how weak the human race is, and how utterly vulnerable it is in front of Lord Tree Demon."

Among the group of traitors who had sided with the Divine Plant Cult, a woman with a voluptuous figure suddenly stepped forward and shouted loudly to the crowd by releasing her vital energy.

This woman looks somewhat like Chen Caiqing.

It was none other than Chen Yuntong's high and mighty mother—Chen Yu'er.

Behind her were several familiar faces.

They are Liu Tianhong, Vice Dean of the Transplantation College of Shanhai Evolution University; Chen Peilin, a genius from the 2020 cohort of Shanhai Evolution University; Chen Caiqing, Elder Chen of the Divine Plant Cult; and Zhang Weidong, Vice President of the Student Union of Shanhai Evolution University...

"What a disgrace to the human race! This 'Mountain and Sea Evolution University' only produces traitors with rebellious hearts in the back of their heads!"

A high-ranking member of the human race couldn't help but burst into a tirade of curses.

Lu Youwen, the principal of the Mountain and Sea Evolution University, looked at a man behind Chen Yu'er and said angrily, "Liu Tianhong, Liu Tianhong, I never thought that you, as the vice dean, would actually betray humanity and join the Divine Plant Cult. How can you face the human race for nurturing you!"

Liu Tianhong narrowed his eyes and didn't say anything. He slowly walked up to Lu Youwen, who was tightly bound by vines, and kicked him hard in the head.

He kicked and cursed at the same time.

"You fucking Lu Youwen, I've been putting up with you for far too long!"

"I could have been elected dean ten years ago, but because of you, you good-for-nothing, you said I had an immoral private life and was unworthy of the position, so you didn't approve my application for dean!"

You deserve to die!

Liu Tianhong cursed more and more viciously, and kicked harder and harder, leaving Lu Youwen's face covered in shoe prints.

Seeing this, the other villains seized the rare opportunity to settle scores. They found people with whom they had past grievances and subjected them to insults and beatings. Many people dared not speak out against them.

Seeing that these people had vented their anger enough, Chen Yu'er, the leader, played the softer role in this combination of coercion and persuasion, gently persuading those around him: "Does it hurt? Do you hate? Do you suffer? Do you envy? Are you jealous?"

"Now, an opportunity to join the Divine Plant Cult is presented to you. Do you want to seize it?"

"Join the Divine Plant Cult, and everyone will have an endless supply of exotic flowers and fruits to eat every day, be assigned a flower fairy or grass fairy as a companion, and have a bright future!"

"......"

Chen Yu'er's encouragement caused many people at the scene to waver.

This also includes high-ranking members of the human race.

Over the years, everyone has been able to deeply feel how difficult the human race is now.

They no longer wanted to fight; they wanted to submit to the myriad races and become vassals.

That way, at least we can survive.

Seeing that many people were eager to join, Shen Shou struggled to his feet and shouted loudly, his qi and blood surging outwards: "Everyone, please don't be misled! Joining the Divine Plant Cult will not bring you a bright future; you will only become a container for the seeds of demonic plants to parasitize!"

"Everyone must stay alert!"

"There is still hope for humanity. The officials of the Human Emperor's Palace will come out to rescue us soon..."

"......Bang!"

Before Shen Shou could finish speaking, a vine suddenly slapped him, slamming him into the ground, rendering him unable to shout to the crowd in a conscious state.

The tree demon withdrew its vines and said disdainfully in an ancient and weathered tone, "Useless trash who serves as a dog for humans."

Then, it shook countless seeds with something wriggling inside them from its branches and leaves, and said to everyone around it: "Eat one of these seeds and join the Divine Plant Cult, or die here and never be reincarnated."

"I want to join the Divine Plant Cult!"

"I want to add it too!"

Long live the Divine Plant Cult!

Under the threat of death, many people could no longer hold on and wanted to swallow the seeds to join the plant cult.

However, just as they reached out to pick up the seeds, a powerful spiritual force surged from a certain direction, sucking away all the seeds on the ground.

Everyone looked in the direction the seeds were being sucked away, and what they saw was He Xie, who was constantly stuffing seeds into his mouth.

Everyone was shocked when they saw this.

What exactly is He Xie from the University of Mountain and Sea Evolution doing?

Those seeds were clearly meant for parasitism, yet he kept stuffing them into his mouth. Was he insane?

[The contrast values ​​from the audience are +9768 +7654 +8876 +5665 +7565...]

He Xie is not crazy.

Because these seeds that disgusted him were, in his eyes, exotic flowers and fruits that he could devour, and each one he devoured would increase his attributes.

"This human is clearly consuming my seeds in large quantities, so why can't I sense that he's being parasitized?"

Something's not right.

"This human cannot be allowed to live; kill him."

The tree demon muttered for a while and made the decision to kill He Xie, because it would not allow any human to exist who was immune to its seed parasitism.

Upon hearing the tree demon's murmurs, Chen Peilin immediately knelt down and pleaded, "Lord Tree Demon, this human is my enemy. I beg you to spare his life so that I may take his life with my own hands!"

The tree demon did not respond. It silently looked at Chen Peilin below, and the large face on the tree trunk frowned slightly, as if it sensed something unusual about Chen Peilin.

At this moment, a familiar figure ran out from the crowd, stopped in front of He Xie, and pleaded with Chen Yu'er under the tree demon, "Mom! Can you please beg the tree demon to spare He Xie's life?"

Her voice trembled slightly as she said this.

She was afraid of the towering tree demon in front of her, afraid of Chen Yu'er and Chen Peilin beneath the tree demon, and afraid of the nearly 200 rapists.

Because it was only just now that she learned that her mother and sister were ruthless traitors.

Chen Peilin stepped out of the crowd, angrily saying, "You bitch, who are you pleading for? Do you believe I'll kill you too!"

Ignoring these words, Chen Yuntong looked at Chen Yu'er with slightly reddened eyes and called out, "Mom!"

Chen Yu'er gave her a deep look.

Then, turning his head to look at Chen Peilin beside him, he said expressionlessly, "Kill this spendthrift woman who's siding with outsiders too."

"mom?"

Chen Yuntong thought she had misheard, her face full of disbelief.

His own mother wanted to kill him?

Chen Yuntong's mental state collapsed.

"Buzz—"

Suddenly, a whooshing sound rang out!

An Ruoli suddenly appeared in front of He Xie, took his hand, and said to him:

"Come on, I'll take you away!"

She is a plant spirit, and can use the biological skill of Wood Escape to escape with He Xie.

Unfortunately, before she could make a move, a vine suddenly shot up from under her feet, instantly binding her hand and foot, and she fell to the ground with a thud.

"The Holy Maiden of the Myriad Flowers Clan, a traitor who colluded with humans, should be killed!"

The tree demon's voice was filled with rage. After speaking, it raised a vine and whipped it down at An Ruoli on the ground.

An Ruoli was in despair, and closed her eyes tightly, waiting for death to come.

But just as the vines were about to fall!

He Xie, standing beside her, slightly raised his right hand and firmly grasped the vine that the tree demon had whipped down with a snap.

Is it blocked?

This freshman from Shandong University actually managed to block an attack from a mythical creature?

Everyone was stunned, thinking they were seeing things.

[The contrast value from everyone: +9866 +5567 +6765 +7755 +7755...]

Another wave of contrasting values, they're making a killing!

Looking at the numerous contrasting values ​​that suddenly popped up from the depths of his mind, He Xie couldn't stop smiling.

The tree demon on the other side, however, was far from laughing.

It stared intently at He Xie, its face filled with uncertainty, and asked, "Just who are you?"

He Xie didn't answer the question, but instead asked, "Are there any members of your Divine Plant Cult who haven't arrived yet? If so, tell them to hurry up and come so I can take them all out at once."

"Arrogant!"

The tree demon was enraged and lashed out at He Xie with several vines.

Seeing this, He Xie decided not to wait any longer. He rushed to the base of the tree demon and punched its trunk.

The next second, a loud bang was heard!

The tree demon, which was full of vitality just a moment ago, suddenly had a wide hole in its trunk. Its life force was rapidly draining away, and it didn't even have a chance to trigger divine protection and resurrection. It withered into a lifeless, rotten tree.

The supreme ruler of the plant religion died.
