The family's expressions became solemn. Mao Qiqi said there were 23 people nearby, and all 23 of them were on the verge of death. This was really weird.

"Let's go take a look first."

Su Jin didn't say anything more and immediately asked Mao Qiqi to take the family to the target location.

At the end of the green space, there are a few ordinary-looking low-rise bungalows, and the 23 people Mao Qiqi mentioned are inside.

Lu Hao saw Wei Jinghang following in, but he did not stop him because Wei Jinghang had just heard what Mao Qiqi said and looked shocked and anxious.

"Huh? Why is there no door here?"

Lin Cheng walked around but didn't find any entrance around the bungalow.

The bungalow was surrounded by a wooden wall with layers of vines wrapped around it.

"Li Yushan used his wood power to seal the door, and he said that if the wall here is forcibly destroyed, the people inside who are using wood power to heal their wounds will be in danger."

Wei Jinghang explained on the side.

"Wood-type ability? Like this?"

As Su Jin waved his hand, the vines obediently withdrew to both sides, and a wooden door that could be opened was opened with a creak.

Before Wei Jinghang could be surprised, he saw a scene inside that shocked everyone.

I saw a row of men and women lying in a row, who looked like they were asleep. Long green branches grew on their bodies, especially on their heads and faces. Behind them were thick vine roots. If you look closely, you can see that those long green branches are connected to the roots at the back.

"Zhang Yu! Xiao Guan!"

Wei Jinghang gritted his teeth. He had previously suspected that several of his teammates were sent here to recuperate. Where were the healers here?

"It's those mutant plants that are absorbing nutrients."

Su Jin had guessed before that there were mutant plants here, and also guessed that the people who were about to die as mentioned by Mao Qiqi might have been trapped by the mutant plants, but he did not guess that these people were man-made and trapped here in this way.

"Oh my god, is this something a human would do?"

Lin Xiuyuan couldn't bear to watch it. Those slender green branches were like straws, sucking something out of those people's bodies.

In the past, when Su Jin abused those who overestimated their own abilities, he only used his wood-type ability to make an example of them, not like this...

"Xiao Jin, can they still be saved?"

Huang Yunxiang squatted down and shook one of them, but the person on the ground did not respond.

"I'm not sure...they must have been like this for a long time."

Su Jin said.

"Please, many of these are my teammates, please save them!"

Wei Jinghang actually knelt down directly.

Su Jin was also quite angry. She knew a few of the teammates Wei Jinghang mentioned. Although their friendship was average in their previous life, but...

She couldn't just stand by and watch them being wantonly abused like this!

"Get up, I'll try my best"

Su Jin helped Wei Jinghang up and walked towards the thick tree roots.

Does Li Yushan also have the same wood-related ability as her, which can give birth to mutated plants and make them obedient?

While thinking, Su Jin summoned Xiao Cui and asked it to try to discover the essence of these mutated plants.

The family watched as Su Jin placed her hand on the mutant tree root and closed her eyes. They did not disturb her anymore, but kept alert around her.

"Speaking of that Hu guy and Li Yushan, they're not good people at first glance. How could you fall for their tricks?"

Lu Guanhai took the opportunity to ask Wei Jinghang about the reason of the incident.

"We weren't tricked into coming here by them. We were the last team of psychics they tricked. We were also looking for a place to rest, and like you, our car broke down on the road, and then those people showed up..."

Wei Jinghang explained slowly.

Li Yushan would let those who were deceived continue to deceive other people, so that he would let the previous group of people go, and they would fall into the trap so easily.

"That's not right. Then what was his purpose? Why did he use that seed to control you for a while? And then promise to let you go?"

Lin Xiuyuan felt that there were too many unreasonable things here, and he didn't think that Li Yushan would let him go.

"He said that the mutant plants he spawned would need some nutrients from the human body to nourish them. Once the person meets the conditions for release, he would remove the seeds. It wouldn't cause any serious harm to the human body, at most causing malnutrition."

Wei Jinghang said that he had no choice, and Li Yushan said that the previous group of people who had deceived them had been released, and he had never seen them again.

When he and his teammates were on the passive side, they could only choose to believe. However, the teammates who were assigned various tasks later disappeared one after another...

And now, he actually found that most of them were here!

“He planted the seed in you.”

Su Jin had already opened her eyes, and she had heard what Wei Jinghang had just said.

“But we do have seeds in our bodies that will grow.”

Wei Jinghang said.

Su Jin shook his head, and a small red fruit appeared in his hand. The family recognized the fruit. It was the red fruit growing on the trees when they entered the village.

"This is the fruit of a mutant plant. It reproduces parasitically. I guess you touched this fruit in some way, and the seeds inside naturally entered your body."

Su Jin said.

"Then can Li Yushan remove this seed from a person's body?"

Nie Qing looked at the red fruit curiously. He originally wanted to reach out and touch it, but after Su Jin said that, he didn't dare to touch it.

"I guess... he can't"

Su Jin used his supernatural powers to destroy the fruit in his hand, and then began to control the branches on the bodies of those people.

Everyone waited quietly, and Lin Xiuyuan discovered that the branch that was sucking something like a straw no longer bulged.

In other words, Su Jin had already stopped the mutant plant from eating.

"I understand. This is just an ordinary mutant plant that feeds on humans. Li Yushan is just an unskilled wood-type mutant."

Lu Hao said.

Su Jin smiled and nodded. They had overestimated Li Yushan before.

"I originally wanted to destroy these mutant plants directly, but now the most urgent task is to rescue these people first."

Su Jin said.

Poof!

A sound of something being pulled out came from the bodies of those people on the ground, and then the slender green branches retreated back to the mutant tree roots as if they were afraid of something.

Wei Jinghang looked at Su Jin's series of actions in surprise. He had only heard that Su Jin from the Xinyu team was a wood-type mutant before, but he didn't expect that she really had a way.

Moreover, compared to Li Yushan, he obviously felt that Su Jin and Li Yushan were not at the same level of wood-type ability users.
