Ruan Xi is a person without desires or pursuits; even in the apocalypse, he can live a solitary life within his team.
However, no matter how much he minds his own business, he cannot stop the...
Ruan Xi only had a "fuck" in his heart, and then he was forced to sink into the silent darkness.
When Ruan Xi regained consciousness, he found himself in a dark place filled with the fragrance of plants and trees...
"No...it's leaves!" Ruan Xi is a wood-type mutant and a descendant of traditional Chinese medicine. In his previous life, he was born into a family that dealt with plants and trees. The moment he woke up, he recognized the darkness he was in and what it was made of. He breathed a sigh of relief.
It is a blessing that it is not buried in the soil as fertilizer.
At this moment, Ruan Xi had already thought of several theories. The most plausible one was that he had been deceived by the tree and was being dragged into the cave as fertilizer... He was so embarrassed. If that was the case, it was too deceptive! He clearly hadn't sensed any ill intentions from the giant tree. How could it have acted so suddenly?
Ruan Xi was extremely confused, but he didn't intend to sit there and wait for death. While thinking, he sat up. When he sat up, he found that the leaves covering him were extremely thick. Moreover, he was in a position that was neither up nor down, and he couldn't touch any solid ground. He struggled for a long time before finally touching a wall.
However, he soon realized that this was not a wall, but the giant tree he had seen before.
After finding the giant tree, Ruan Xi breathed a sigh of relief. He tried to climb it, but it was too big to hold onto, and there were no easy steps. For a non-professional like him, climbing was impossible. He also tried to use his wood-based abilities, hoping to induce the grass and trees on the ground to extend branches to catch him. But strangely, no matter how hard he tried, the ability remained silent. He could clearly feel the power within him, but it was as if it was sealed and unable to be controlled.
Was it because he had been reborn through a spiritual journey? Or was it because of... the giant tree before him? Ruan Xi was unsure, so he temporarily gave up climbing and turned to exploring downwards.
There are great risks in exploring downwards. After all, no one knows how far away he is from the bottom, nor can he predict whether there are unknown risks hidden in the thick leaves, but he still cannot sit and wait for death.
"No matter what's down there, just try to scream." Ruan Xi frowned slightly, without any hesitation, and dived down. What's more, this huge amount of leaves was really like water, allowing him to swim relatively smoothly in it. Moreover, there was no need to worry about the air problem. These leaves were not dead leaves, and there was no rotten smell in them. Instead, they exuded the fragrance of fresh grass and trees, which made Ruan Xi relax unconsciously while swimming downwards. Moreover, it was the kind of relaxation that made him unable to get nervous even if he wanted to. He was like a fetus swimming in the amniotic fluid, carefree and comfortable.
This feeling was something he hadn't experienced in his previous life, even before the apocalypse. After all, the burden of life weighed heavily on his shoulders, and it was never easy. This sense of ease made Ruan Xi subconsciously want to let go of everything and simply enjoy the peace of the moment.
But this thought only flashed through Ruan Xi's mind for a moment, and he quickly returned to his usual determination.
He didn't know how long he had been exploring while swimming. Since he couldn't find the direction, Ruan Xi simply walked by feeling, touching here and probing there. When he finally touched the moist soil, he subconsciously curled the corners of his lips.
"Found it."
Before the voice fell, Ruan Xi's palm that touched the ground suddenly turned into claws, and he grabbed the soil with force, feeling the track formed by something sliding rapidly in the soil. With lightning speed, he grabbed a rough but sticky strip in an instant. The moment the thing was grabbed, it began to struggle violently. Ruan Xi didn't hold on for long before being thrown upwards by the thing. Even so, he never let go of the thing in his hand.
Since he can't get out by himself, whoever caught him will have to send him back!
