There wasn't even time to react.
The brothers around him also screamed in agony.
One by one, their heads were pierced by willow branches, their brains drained, and they were left hanging in the air.
Without a second thought, Liu Guang turned and fled.
Although he was a Level 2 Awakener, he dared not do anything to resist this strange living willow tree.
Little did they know, the willow tree had just undergone a mutation.
It's just a level one mutated plant; if it resists, it still has a chance to escape.
But unfortunately.
He had even lost the courage to resist.
With a hissing sound!
A willow branch came rushing by.
It pierced directly into the back of his head, and he struggled, hanging in the air.
He didn't die on the spot, after all, he was a level two awakened being, and it would take the other party a little while to absorb the energy.
Just then.
An ordinary-looking crow landed on the wall.
Looking at the rampaging willow tree in front of him, Raven exclaimed in surprise: "Wow! You can kill so many Awakened Ones right after mutating? And you can even kill a Level 2 Awakened One. That's amazing. No wonder Dad sent me to find you."
Shh! Shh!
The willow tree kept making strange noises.
The willow branches danced in the air, looking quite fierce.
"Trying to intimidate me? But you can't reach me, and you might not be my match either. I'm a level three mutated creature, you know," the raven chuckled.
At this time.
The willow tree suddenly fell silent.
Liu Guang opened his eyes and saw the talking raven.
His will to survive made him instinctively scream, despite the excruciating pain.
"Help me...help me..."
However.
The next second.
Bang!
Liu Guang's head exploded.
Raven blasted his head off from a distance, grinning, "Are you free now? You're welcome. Having your brain drained must have been quite painful, right? Ending your suffering is a good deed for your father."
Are we counting on it to save us?
We're not related, why should I save you?
Killing you is a way of saying I'm in a good mood today since I found the willow tree, so I'll take your crystal core as a thank you.
It was about to snatch the crystal core.
However, a willow twig snatched away the crystal core, absorbing the alien energy within it.
The willow tree didn't even miss the brain matter that had fallen to the ground.
Soon, more than a dozen of its willow branches had turned red.
"Steal my crystal core? You really think you can bully me? Watch me glare you until your brain explodes?"
The raven was a little angry.
He decisively activated [Mental Pierce].
But this time, their all-pervasive spirit seemed to have hit a wall and returned empty-handed.
The red willow was completely unaffected.
"Failed? Is it because your mutation level is too low? Although you have a crystal core, you don't have a brain at all? You barely have any mental fluctuations, but it's like a rootless duckweed."
"Once we absorb more crystal cores and reach level two, we should at least be able to communicate, right? Two level two crystal cores should be enough, right? Let's give it a try."
Raven unzipped the backpack.
He flicked two secondary crystal nuclei with his mouth.
After receiving the secondary crystal core, Hongliu quickly absorbed it.
Half an hour later, more than thirty of its willow branches had turned red, and its level had been upgraded to level two.
Ravens rely on their strong will.
I keenly sensed that the other party seemed to have developed a special core.
It is similar to the brain, but completely different from the brain.
Dad calls it the heartwood.
This is the core of the mutated plant, a crystallization of its wisdom.
It is because of its heartwood that mutated plants can think and communicate; without the heartwood, the tamarisk is just an empty shell of a mutated organism.
All they know is killing; they're no different from those mindless zombies.
Although it cannot speak now, it can convey its thoughts through mental fluctuations.
Hongliu asked, "Hello, may I ask who you are?"
"I am the raven messenger responsible for protecting you. I have been searching for you for more than half a month. According to my lord's prophecy, you will gain wisdom today, so I have come to investigate your situation and ensure your safety," the raven said in a serious tone, trying to deceive you.
"I don't really understand."
Hong Liu was bewildered.
It has just mutated, it's like it's just been born.
It cannot understand overly complex language; it can only make rough guesses.
This black chicken is here to protect it and prevent outsiders from interfering.
Why did they mistake it for a chicken?
Because there were only chickens in the yard, it had never seen any other birds.
“You don’t need to understand. I am your guardian and I will not harm you,” the raven said.
"Then are you my mother?"
"I am not."
The raven wanted to answer yes.
After all, it would be great if it could bring us closer.
But the problem is that it's not a willow tree, which makes it easy to spot.
What?
You asked why Zhang Hao and I don't look alike.
Why don't you question whether he is your father?
Is there any need to question this?
He had known all along that he wasn't physiologically a crow, after all, Zhang Hao wasn't a crow either.
But psychologically speaking, that's it.
After all, her father takes such good care of her.
The fact that she can be so laid-back every day and still watch "Empresses in the Palace" is all thanks to her awesome father.
Where in the world could you find a better father?
To question that would be utterly ridiculous.
But plants are different from animals; they are identified by external characteristics, so you definitely can't fake them.
Unless they are awakened beings from the plant-based system.
One must rely on a unique talent to get close to the red willow; otherwise, it would be impossible to succeed.
The most crucial thing now is to ensure that Red Willow protects herself and doesn't get tricked by other plant-type awakened beings.
"You are unable to move right now, and there may be bad people around who try to bully you. Don't believe anything they say."
The raven continued to coax, "When I return and report to my lord, I will send your 'mother' to find you."
"Why isn't Mom by my side?" Hongliu asked, puzzled.
yes.
Why aren't they here?
This problem stumped the raven.
But with his intelligence, he quickly came up with a solution.
"Because your mother has more than one child, she has many more children to take care of, so she's bound to be overwhelmed."
More children?
So I'm not my mother's only child? Nor am I her most beloved child?
Otherwise, my mother wouldn't have come even after I was born?
They just sent a black chicken to appease him?
Thinking of this,
Hongliu completely went berserk.
Splat! Splat!
Countless willow branches waved incessantly.
The bodies were smashed to pieces; the scene was extremely brutal.
"No! I will kill all my other brothers and sisters, I will create a world where there is only my mother!"

PS: 5 AM.

I'm looking for free gifts and flowers.
Goodnight. ^O^
