"Ah!" After Lao Zhang was entangled by the strange seaweed-like thing, he was sent directly to the middle of the seaweed.
The captain only grabbed a piece of Lao Zhang's clothes, and then saw the seaweed monster start chewing Lao Zhang in front of him.
The crunching sound made people feel uneasy and their whole bodies were shaking. Listening to that sound, it felt like they were the next one to be eaten.
Lao Zhang's blood slowly flowed onto the seaweed, and the originally black leaves turned emerald green as they were stained by the blood.
But at this moment, no one cared to see whether the plant monster turned yellow or green.
"run!"
No one knew who gave the order, but everyone panicked and ran away in all directions.
The team, originally numbering over a hundred, suddenly became chaotic. As they fled, they could still hear screams from behind. Those running ahead didn't dare look back, fearing they would be the next unlucky ones.
After finally escaping that terrifying seaweed-like area, they slowly gathered together again. After counting, the number of people was already reduced by more than half.
The sky quickly darkened, and the remaining fifty people no longer dared to imagine whether the others were alive or dead. Everyone in this forest became cautious. They didn't know why they encountered those strange creatures, but they all understood that their deceased guide, Lao Zhang, was right: this forest had changed.
It has become no longer suitable for human habitation or survival.
If they want to get out of the forest alive, they must be extremely careful.
"What do you think the people up there are looking for?" the man next to the small fire asked his companion in a low voice.
The companion used a long piece of wood to stir the flames. Most of the wood in the forest was damp, and the amount of wood they could collect before dark was limited, so their fire looked like it was about to go out.
"I heard it's a plant." Someone said in a low voice.
"Plants? Why would we need them?" The person asking was curious. Not only him, but everyone around was curious. What kind of plant could the higher-ups value so much? They even offered a large sum of money to send so many people into the mountains to search for it.
"Who knows, it must be useful. However, I'm lucky to be able to return alive now. I dare not think too much."
That sentence silenced everyone. The thought of survival darkened their hearts. The past five days had completely shattered their enthusiasm, leaving them on the verge of despair. The forest was now even more terrifying than before. Previously, the only threat was wild beasts, but now, the most terrifying threat wasn't the beasts, but the plants. No one knew what kind of plants had become alive, chasing and eating people.
Also, are those plants animals or plants?
They had no chance to verify it as they were running for their lives, they only knew that the farther away they saw it, the better.
"Hurry up and go to sleep. We will set off at dawn." Watching the bonfire finally go out bit by bit, the last person pulled up the sleeping bag.
…
On the other side of the mountain, Xu Xuening was holding a rabbit in her hand and looking at Wei Zizhou beside her. "Is this a rabbit?"
Wei Zizhou frowned and looked at the animal in Xu Xuening's hand. He looked a little annoyed and didn't know what was going on.
When he went out to look for food, he accidentally saw a bunch of particularly beautiful flowers. Although he did not have much aesthetic taste, he could see that the bouquet of flowers was more beautiful than many flowers he had seen.
As soon as he looked at the bouquet of flowers, he thought of Xu Xuening's smiling face, and picked them without hesitation and gave them to Xu Xuening.
But in Xu Xuening's hands, it turned into a rabbit, a mixed-hair rabbit at that, with red, green and white patches on its body, as if someone had sprayed paint on it.
Looking at the ugly rabbit, he was ready to grab it and throw it away, "I'll find you another rabbit tomorrow." He was extremely embarrassed because he gave the wrong gift for the first time.
Xu Xuening immediately withdrew her hand and placed the rabbit in her arms. "No need, I quite like it. It's rare to see a rabbit with such mixed fur."
She was telling the truth, she had never seen a colorful rabbit before.
But her words made Wei Zizhou even more embarrassed, and he became more determined to give Xu Xuening a beautiful pure white rabbit.
He completely forgot about the bouquet of flowers.
"Hey," Xu Xuening suddenly took the rabbit out of her arms. The rabbit slowly began to change in her hands, and gradually a bunch of colorful flowers appeared in front of them again.
"This?" Xu Xuening looked at Wei Zizhou, "Listen carefully to your magic tricks."
She didn't even realize how Wei Zizhou appeared.
Wei Zizhou directly took the bouquet of flowers from Xu Xuening's hand and said with almost gritted teeth, "This is not something I changed into."
He felt so wronged. He had originally planned to give Xu Xuening a bouquet of flowers, but when he took it, it turned into a rabbit. He had no choice but to admit it. But as soon as he finished mentioning the rabbit, he took it and it turned back.
"It's not that I don't like them. I like both rabbits and flowers, but which one are you going to give me?" Xu Xuening looked at Wei Zizhou curiously. She was a little excited to receive the gift from Wei Zizhou. However, she couldn't figure out whether Wei Zizhou wanted her to see the rabbits, the flowers, or to enjoy his magic show.
Give her a reminder, otherwise she won’t know what to praise?
"Pfft." Xie Yan looked at the two of them and laughed. Seeing Wei Zizhou's embarrassed expression, he felt relieved. "He's not going to perform magic for you. But this is quite interesting. A plant that can turn into a rabbit, or a plant that can turn into a rabbit? Or both?"
"What?" Not only Xu Xuening was surprised, but everyone who heard Xie Yan's words looked at Wei Zizhou's hand in surprise.
"Is this really a rabbit?" Xu Xuening stretched out her hand and poked the rabbit in Wei Zizhou's hand. Immediately, the rabbit turned into a bouquet of flowers in front of everyone. Moreover, the bouquet of flowers bloomed bigger and bigger, and each blooming flower was beautiful and unique.
"I think it's a flower. Pick one and see." Mr. Chen looked at the thing, touching his chin and looking at it.
"I think it's a rabbit." Zhang Ziqiang, who was standing next to him, looked at the rabbit in Wei Zizhou's hand and said, "I can hear the rabbit's heartbeat."
"If it has a heartbeat, it's an animal. But what's going on with it that can change back and forth?"
Mr. Chen looked at the rabbit, his doubts growing.
"Put it in a cage first. We can't figure it out now." Wei Zizhou looked at the rabbit and decided to keep an eye on it. Once he entered Huacheng, he would find a way to send it for research.
"Yes, we'd better keep an eye on it." Chen Sheng looked at the rabbit and decided to go look for it tomorrow. This kind of rare thing would obviously sell for a lot of money. Didn't the boss say that after entering Huacheng, they would need to start all over again? Starting all over again would definitely require resources and funds, and this thing would just do the trick.
