Chapter 143 The Vientiane Tree that is Afraid of Insects
"Those bastards who killed people are fucking not human!" The young man wiped his tears and comforted the people around him.
"Your mind has been twisted by the stimulation!"
"Typical victim mentality, as if the whole world owes them something."
“It’s so vicious.”
…
"Will we be controlled?" a girl suddenly asked.
"What? Accused of - One Inch Lotus, wasn't that thing destroyed?" The crying boy wiped his tears and asked with a nasal voice.
“Isn’t there someone…” The girl made a drinking gesture.
"Don't talk nonsense, everything is cured!" People dare to spread this news without fear of causing panic.
The young man Feng Jun looked around carefully and was relieved when he found that no one noticed them.
The girl, Zhao Ke, stuck out her tongue and moved closer to Feng Jun. "I have evidence."
Feng Jun's eyes widened, and he glanced back again, feeling guilty. "Tell me."
"You're too cautious." Zhao Ke frowned. "When I was dealing with Yi Cun Lian, I was doing odd jobs, and I've met almost all of these people before."
"Could I have remembered it wrongly?" Feng Jun didn't quite believe it.
"I have a photographic memory!" Zhao Ke rolled her eyes at him for questioning her ability.
"If it's true...why don't we go find the captain?" Feng Jun was undecided for a moment.
If they were truly controlled by the One Inch Lotus, there would be more than just those hundred people. There were many more of them here. What if they went crazy...
Feng Jun immediately thought of the word "annihilation" and shuddered with fear.
"Coward!" Zhao Ke regretted telling him this.
"Then you don't realize the importance of the matter." Feng Jun argued.
Zhao Ke gave him two "Hehe"s and said, "I also think it's necessary to remind the captain."
"Found it?" These students seemed to have grown a lot from this battle, but it was not enough. "You are the third wave looking for me!"
Healthy competition is still necessary.
"What?" The two looked at each other, they thought it was a secret.
Zhao Ke spoke first, "Captain, what's going on?"
"The One-Inch Lotus controls its prey by magnifying their weaknesses. Although we tried our best to remove it, it had been inside their bodies after all, so it's normal for it to be affected by the residual mental power."
At the time, she was only thinking about removing impurities from her body, but she hadn't considered the mental impact. On the one hand, the One Inch Lotus mutated, and on the other, her control ability improved.
"If you have a strong will, everything will be fine. If you don't have a strong will, they will take advantage of you and end up like this today."
"Wow! As expected, we should never let our guard down."
"So, go back and continue observing. If anyone seems to be in a bad mood, tell me immediately."
"Captain, don't worry, we will do our best!"
“Do a good job!”
The two young men were encouraged and went to carry out the mission with high spirits.
"Pfft...it seems that you have adapted well to this captain position." Shi Qixuan teased with a smile.
"They have to adapt even if they are not used to it. They are still so young."
"We're not big either."
"I always feel like I have lived a lifetime." This is the truth, Yun Xiang added silently.
"Indeed, living in this jungle feels like a lifetime! Every day I look forward to the sun rising, but I also dread it."
Going through the process of going from hope to despair every day can really drive people crazy.
"It's better for it to rise. We need food." Yun Xiang patted her shoulder and said, "Have you ever heard that everything grows with the help of the sun?"
I don't want to come back from a victory and just as I'm about to eat, everyone tells me I can only eat dirt!"
"Pfft...you're so funny!"
"What happened to those people? Have the side effects appeared?" Yun Xiang rubbed his eyebrows. It was really a headache.
In a hurry that day, I gave them the blood of a strange beast. It's been two days and there's still no movement. It's really worrying.
"I'm in excellent condition, not feeling any discomfort." Shi Qixuan looked confused. "Are you sure Jin Jiamin didn't take the wrong thing?"
"What do you think?" How could someone who checks everything every morning, noon, and night take the wrong thing? Yun Xiang shook his head and gave Shi Qixuan a look that said, "You're too naive."
Regardless of whether the side effects appeared or not, they set out as usual the next day. They walked for three days and the journey was relatively smooth.
They encountered many mutant beasts, but they all killed them together. Although their individual abilities were not good enough, three heads could make a great team.
"Hey, why do I feel like I haven't encountered a mutant beast for a long time?" Zhao Ke and Feng Jun whispered.
"Oh, really, report to the captain quickly." Feng Jun slapped his forehead and was about to leave.
"Come on, Captain, how could you not know?"
"That's right. The captain is so awesome. Hey, Zhao... Zhao Ke, that... is that the Vientiane Forest?" Feng Jun rubbed his eyes, so surprised that he couldn't straighten his tongue.
"This... why is this thing here, and in a piece?" Zhao Ke, who was also tied up, looked incredulous.
How did the legendary sacred tree suddenly appear? Did he travel too long and get blinded by the heat?
"He must have copied it." Since the Vientiane Tree can copy everything, it will not be mass-produced.
"Captain...Captain!"
"You know it's me, but you're still stuttering?"
"Hehe." Although the two of them laughed a little silly, they were quite cute.
They soon arrived at the Wanxiang Forest. The branches of the Wanxiang tree were straight, more than ten feet high, and silvery white. The leaves and fruits were also silvery white.
"Wow, so many spiders!" Feng Jun ran so fast that he almost had a close contact with the spiders.
I saw that the Vientiane tree was covered with spider webs, and the spider webs were covered with various small insects. The longest spider was one foot and half a meter long and was eating.
"Captain, is this spider also a copy of the Vientiane Tree? It doesn't look like something it would do at all." Another girl asked.
Hey, it turns out people are more tolerant not only of good-looking people, but also of trees. If you saw its true face, I wonder if you would still make such a conclusion.
“It’s possible!”
"Huh?" The girl didn't quite believe it.
"The Vientiane tree is handsome, there's no doubt about that. But it has a fatal weakness: it's afraid of insects."
The Vientiane tree is a new species that appeared after the interstellar spacecraft. Due to its wide range of uses, it has been studied in depth by the research institute.
But it rarely appears. It is said that no one has seen it in the past few hundred years. This shows how lucky they are!
"Afraid of bugs? That's impossible." How could such a powerful tree be afraid of bugs?
"Look, a good spiritual plant is covered with an invincible coat, and then it becomes invincible!
In fact, isn't it normal for plants to be afraid of insects? "
“…”Everyone was speechless.
"Interstellar Plant Appreciation records that the Vientiane tree is extremely afraid of insects. Even the smallest insects can leave marks on it.
In order to avoid being bitten by insects, it will replicate many Vientiane trees in an attempt to hide its original body. Therefore, what we often see is a Vientiane jungle.
The Vientiane Tree has a very strong replication ability. The virtual bodies it replicates are indistinguishable from the original bodies, so they also attract insects.
As for the spiders here, they're probably a new trick the Vientiane Tree came up with after its evolution." Yun Xiang thought about it carefully and felt that this possibility was more likely.
"What?" Everyone was confused.
"No matter how many copies the Vientiane Tree makes, as long as its original body remains, bugs will bite it. So it sought out the natural enemies of bugs, spiders."
"Spiders aren't the only animals that eat bugs!" As soon as the boy finished speaking, he was met with rolls of eyes from everyone.
"Yes, but what appears here is a spider." Is that right?
"puff……"
