As everyone was moving towards the mountains, another team in the distance was approaching Xie Yan, Xu Xuening and the others.
In the near future, the two sides will meet.
But now, Xie Yan and his group felt that the mountain road was becoming more and more difficult to walk on.
Ever since they witnessed the rabbit transform directly from animal form into plant form, they began to carefully identify the many strange creatures they encountered along the way.
Who knows if you might step on some plant that turns into a snake? What if it bites you directly?
Walking so carefully, I did discover a lot of things, which completely shattered my understanding of the world.
Look, the plants in the distance are fighting. The vines are holding on to a big tree tightly. They are not growing around the tree, but like snakes, they are strangling the tree tightly, as if they want to break its neck.
They could already see many marks on the big tree where the vines had entangled it. If the tree had a color that could be used to distinguish it, it might be so suffocated that its face would be red and its neck would be thick.
But even without the color distinction, it can be seen from certain aspects that part of the bark has been worn through by the vines, and the trunk where the outer layer of bark has been worn through seems to be almost deformed in some of the thick vine parts.
They stayed away from the tree and the vine, fearing that the tree would turn into an animal and pounce on them.
"Look, hard shells have grown here." Sun Shou walked around the tree quietly out of curiosity. When he saw something, he shouted to the person next to him.
The others gathered around and looked where Sun Shou pointed. The lower half of the tree had indeed taken on a silvery-white sheen, with patches of metallic material growing out. The silvery-white sheen was a thin layer of armor, protecting the tree from being strangled by the vines.
"How strange," Sun Shou looked at it curiously, carefully approached it, and tried to pick open a piece of the metal shell with a knife. At this moment, he suddenly felt the sound of a gust of wind sweeping towards him.
With a quick jump, he was several meters away from the tree in an instant.
A slender branch came towards Sun Shou's position, with a whistling sound, and hit the place where Sun Shou had just stood. Immediately, a new mark appeared on the tree. The bark was directly cracked, revealing the bare trunk. It can be seen that the force of the vine was great.
"I always feel like this vine seems to have eyes."
Wei Zizhou looked at the vine wrapped around the big tree, especially when he saw the vine whipping towards Sun Shou, he stared at the tree more carefully, and felt more and more that his feeling was correct.
But should plants have life?
What is plant life like?
Can plants really attack humans?
"Let me try." Han Xiaoxiao saw Sun Shou almost being slapped away by the tree. He felt very curious. He jumped towards the tree eager to try.
"Be careful." Chen Sheng watched Han Xiaoxiao approaching the tree trunk. He looked at her worriedly, concerned about Han Xiaoxiao's safety.
"Don't worry, Brother Chen." Han Xiaoxiao reached the tree in three steps and two jumps.
In the team, apart from the little boy Xiao Hai, the only two teenagers left were Zhang Kaiyue and Han Xiaoxiao. After spending so much time together, Chen Sheng even treated them like half his own sons. For this reason, Chen Sheng was always worried about the safety of the two children. At this time, seeing Han Xiaoxiao curiously running to the big tree, his brows knitted together.
"It's okay." Han Xiaoxiao walked towards the big tree and made an OK gesture to Chen Shengbi.
Just as he was about to get close, another vine came towards Han Xiaoxiao again.
Han Xiaoxiao looked at the vine near him and immediately picked it up. He stretched out a hand and wanted to burn the other person to death with a fireball, but then he thought that this was a forest. If it really caught fire, no one could put out the fire.
He held back at the last moment and just kept jumping around the tree to avoid the vine.
But because of his hesitation just now, he failed to escape from the circle of vines when he was dodging.
Everyone saw that the vine wrapped around the tree was indeed conscious. When one vine failed to hit Han Xiaoxiao, it attacked Han Xiaoxiao with two or three vines.
Han Xiaoxiao jumped quickly, and after seeing two of the vines entangled together, he jumped back safely.
After it was much farther away from the vine, the vine waved twice in the air before retracting its vines.
"If I didn't know that what was in front of me was a plant, I would have thought it was a squid!" Looking at the vines with bared fangs and claws, Zhang Kaiyue subconsciously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Not only did he feel so, everyone looked at the vine wrapped around the tree, it really looked like it was waving like a squid.
"Why is this happening?" Zhang Ziqiang looked at the vine and swallowed hard.
"Boss, is this considered evolution?" Ning Hong looked at the vine and felt that it could no longer be viewed from the perspective of plants. Plants now looked more like animals, with their own thoughts and protective awareness.
In Ning Hong's opinion, there is more to worry about than just the tree in front of her.
"Calculate."
Xie Yan raised his head and looked coldly at the tree. This kind of tree, which required three people to hug, must be thousands of years old, and it was not uncommon in this forest. What worried him was the vine. It had already evolved from a plant to an animal. If plants continued to evolve and mutate in this direction, humanity would face more than just the zombie apocalypse outside.
