Fang Zong strolled over, grabbed a young man who was being trampled on the ground and whose arm looked broken, and with a flick of his hand, a gust of wind blew away several people running around, giving an elderly man dozens of meters away a chance to get up.
The young man quickly thanked him, saying, "Thank you, thank you, General."
"You are welcome."
Fang Zong smiled, reached out and tossed the young man into the air. A branch of the locust tree happened to wrap around him, and the barbs pierced the young man's body, beginning to devour his blood.

Everyone was still confused.
Nobody knows what happened.
They couldn't even understand why the old locust tree that had 'protected' them for so many years would suddenly start devouring their blood.
