The four words - shut-in, fair-skinned, short, and weak - perfectly describe Mo Shuwan.
Until one day, she boarded the mysterious dimensional bus and gained a group of变态 teammates...
Th...
Wen Zuo and the others, who were still holding onto the last remaining vine of the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine, did not dare to let go and continued to hold on tightly. However, Wen Zuo took a closer look at the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine and his expression became somewhat strange, as did Liu Dongcheng next to him.
Even Mo Shuwan, after carefully examining the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine, felt a sense of strangeness and doubt.
Hmm...this looks kind of familiar...
Mo Shuwan poked the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine's body with the hilt of her sword. Its body was very large, and if you didn't look closely, you would think it was just an ordinary tree. But if you looked closely, you would find a pair of 'eyes' hidden under the tree's texture. They didn't look like human eyes, and there was even soil in the two huge holes.
Mo Shuwan stared at one of the huge holes and noticed a peculiar branch inside that seemed to be avoiding her gaze. She narrowed her eyes, raised her hand, and made an attacking gesture. The previously quiet Bloodthirsty Vine began to struggle violently again. Mo Shuwan noticed that the branch inside the hole was flickering intensely.
"Could it be an eyeball?"
"Captain, shouldn't we kill it?"
Mo Shuwan was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Wen Zuo, "Aren't you going to kill him?" She had changed her mind because she saw that Wen Zuo didn't intend to kill him, and she still had the same doubts as the passengers.
Mount
"Captain, Wen Zuo wrote 'mount'."
"What? It?" Mo Shuwan looked at the half-dead Bloodthirsty Vine and remembered that it looked familiar. "Isn't it the Bloodthirsty Vine that escaped with only three vines left when we encountered the mutated unicorn dinosaur last time?"
Wen Zuo nodded, and Mo Shuwan immediately looked enlightened. Judging from the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine's performance just now, its intelligence was obviously not low. It was not impossible for Wen Zuo to say that it could be used as a mount.
Liu Dongcheng also looked enlightened, remembering the plant he had encountered during his escape.
Mo Shuwan kicked the bloodthirsty demon vine, which was clearly getting worse and worse, and tentatively said, "Take us away, and we won't kill you."
After she finished speaking, she noticed that a branch in one of the holes swayed. Mo Shuwan looked at the branch and found that it did not avoid her gaze this time. She realized that the bloodthirsty demon vine probably understood her, so she continued, "Your vine can grow back as long as it drinks blood, right? If you agree, we can help you get prey."
Wen Zuo and the others, who were holding the only remaining vine of the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine, felt a very slight struggle coming from their hands.
"If you agree, stand up."
Although the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine was highly intelligent, it didn't understand the intricacies of life in this world. It didn't suspect that Mo Shuwan would go back on her word. It shook its vines, and its huge body stood up unsteadily, with several holes pierced by the fire-attribute longsword still bleeding.
Wen Zuo released his grip, and the others, seeing this, also carefully released their grip. The Bloodthirsty Vine, which had just gained its freedom, shrank back, and then, when no one was on guard, it suddenly swept across, wrapping its vines around and suspending everyone except Mo Shuwan in the air.
Almost at the same time that the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine made its move, Mo Shuwan also made her move.
Half a minute later, the bloodthirsty demonic vines, now riddled with several more bloody holes, hesitantly placed the person wrapped around the vines onto the top of the main body. Perhaps sensing that this time they weren't pierced by that terrifying weapon, the last remaining vine seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground.
Having already wasted too much time, and not wanting to delay any longer, Mo Shuwan patted the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine's true form, "Send me up."
The Bloodthirsty Demon Vine sent Mo Shuwan up again.
A group of terrified passengers breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Mo Shu arrive at night, but couldn't help worrying, "Captain, can we trust it? Won't it send us to the monster's mouth?"
"If their relationship is so harmonious, it won't have a single vine left."
Urged on by Mo Shuwan, the Bloodthirsty Vine finally began to move. Despite its body being riddled with bloody holes, it was surprisingly fast. Mo Shuwan and the others, who were perched atop its body, were nearly thrown off by its sudden acceleration.
"Slower."
Ignoring the Bloodthirsty Vine's instructions, Mo Shuwan immediately took action. After creating another bloody hole in its body, the Bloodthirsty Vine obediently slowed down, and the passengers who were lying on it in a sorry state no longer had to worry about being thrown off.
When she had a moment to spare, Mo Shuwan turned her head and quickly spotted the passenger among the passengers who had lost a lot of weight from being sucked blood. He was being taken care of by Yang Zhou, who was in the same boat. However, he was in a worse state than Yang Zhou had been. Back then, Zhan Fei had been taking turns sucking blood to ensure he had enough food, and even that had left Yang Zhou still not recovered.
The unfortunate passenger, originally a slightly overweight middle-aged man, was now struggling to breathe, crying and asking, "Am I going to die?"
Yang Zhou turned his head to look at Mo Shuwan, who was staring in their direction. Just as he was about to speak, he saw a small bottle being tossed over. Realizing what it was, Yang Zhou quickly reached out and caught it. After glancing at it, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "With the captain here, you won't die."
The passenger, his face streaked with tears, turned to look for Mo Shuwan, but Yang Zhou, who had already uncorked the bottle, reached out and turned his face towards him, saying, "Open your mouth."
Yang Zhou poured half a bottle of recovery potion for him, then put the stopper back on and was about to return it to Mo Shuwan when he heard her say, "Dissolve the rest in water and share it with everyone."
"Thank you, Captain."
Even though the other new passengers didn't know what it was, they saw how quickly the passenger who had been sucked dry recovered, and they all knew it was something good, so they quickly thanked it as well.
"Wow, this stuff is great! My hands and feet don't feel so sore anymore."
"Me too."
"Damn it, drink less!"
"Sorry, sorry, I accidentally drank too much... But I feel full of energy now, I could run another kilometer without any problem!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, you don't even have a chance to run away now."
The passengers' eyes lit up at the sense of wonder, and they looked eager to try it out.
Liu Dongcheng was the last to drink the water mixed with the recovery potion. Although he only had a small sip left, he felt his fatigue lessen considerably soon after it went down his throat. He looked down at the empty bottle in his hand, his eyes flickered, and amidst the noise, he suddenly raised his voice and said, "The water we've been drinking all this way has been mixed with this, right?"
The deliberately raised volume did attract the passengers' attention, and they only realized what was happening when Mo Shuwan responded with an "uh-huh."
No wonder they ran non-stop for a day and a night. Although they were tired, everyone persevered. It turned out that the captain had secretly given them something good to drink.
"Thank you, Captain." This time, the expression of gratitude was noticeably more solemn than before.
"Captain! I'm your man now. You can do whatever you want with me from now on!"
