Tang Mianmian immediately rushed forward and cut off the branch of the strange tree with one knife. The moment the branch broke, blood-like juice spurted out from the broken part.
Xiao Tangqiu frowned: "...It's blood!"
He immediately smelled a strong smell of rust in the air, and the blood-like liquid was actually blood!
"What the hell?!?" Tang Mianmian also smelled the bloody smell and immediately felt unwell. "Is this a tree or a person?"
Xiao Tangqiu: "...Maybe it's a tree person."
Tang Mianmian's mouth twitched: "Zhou Shuren?"
On the other side, Duan Hongzhen and Xue Junli worked together and quickly rescued the man who was half eaten by the tree.
Fortunately, they rescued him in time, and the guy only broke his arm. The wound was bloody and messy, but the broken part was very neat, and it looked like it was bitten off. Fortunately, he saved his life.
They turned the man over and were immediately shocked... The guy whose arm was eaten by the strange tree was clearly the middle-aged man who had just been scared unconscious by them!
The middle-aged man was still conscious, but when he saw Xiao Tangqiu and others, he started trembling with fear.
Duan Hongzhen raised his eyebrows: "You came at the right time. We have a lot of questions to ask you."
The middle-aged man trembled even more: "I... I don't know anything..."
Duan Hongzhen sneered.
On the other side, Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian teamed up to cut off countless branches of the strange tree that tried to attack them. The already sparse leaves of the strange tree became even fewer in an instant, and in the blink of an eye it became a bald tree.
Every time they cut off a branch, blood would spurt out from the break.
Seeing the fallen branches and leaves all over the ground, the middle-aged man finally couldn't help but shouted tremblingly.
"Stop! Don't!"
"Why?"
Xiao Tangqiu was talking, but his hands did not stop moving. Soon, the ground was covered with fallen branches and leaves again.
The middle-aged man struggled to his feet and stood between Xiao Tangqiu and the others and the strange tree. He spread his arms and shouted with all his might, "Don't hurt it! Please don't hurt it!"
Xiao Tangqiu stopped and said coldly, "Are you crazy? It almost killed you just now!"
"Don't hurt it!"
The middle-aged man repeated hysterically: "Don't hurt it! Don't hurt it!"
Xiao Tangqiu asked coldly: "Why?"
"Because... because..." The middle-aged man hesitated for a long time before speaking with difficulty, "This is my wife..."
Xiao Tangqiu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Even though he had expected this answer, he still couldn't believe it when he heard the middle-aged man admit it himself... A living person actually turned into a tree?!
At this moment, he suddenly felt his feet lighten, and the entire ground around him collapsed. Something grabbed his ankle and pulled him deep into the ground!
Tang Mianmian watched helplessly as Xiao Tangqiu was dragged underground by a thick tree root extending from the ground, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The newcomer was startled and screamed, "Ah!"
Tang Mianmian immediately glared at the middle-aged man: "...Did you do this on purpose?"
The middle-aged man still looked terrified: "Don't hurt my wife..."
"This is a trap!" Tang Mianmian reacted instantly.
The next moment, a thick tree root emerged from under his feet and quickly pulled him deep into the ground!
Duan Hongzhen and Xue Junli looked at each other, but before they could take any action, thick tree roots extended from under their feet.
Next came Yu Fuling and Celluloid. In a blink of an eye, the newcomer was the only one left.
The newcomer looked around in disbelief, making sure he was the only one left.
