Chapter 72 My Partner is Fruit 17
Xi Tu and the others saw Wang Hao leading his men down the mountain in a hurry from afar. Without lingering, they quickly retreated a bit.
However, his retreat was incomplete, accompanied by verbal and gestural slurs that were an extreme insult to Wang Hao.
Wang Hao's pride was hurt, and anger welled up inside him. Without thinking, he chased after them.
Seeing this, Xi Tu and the others continued to retreat, but Wang Hao was unwilling to give up and relentlessly pursued them.
During the chase, Yunzhen saw another couple quietly climbing up the mountainside.
Clearly, the people of the Lingze tribe have not given up.
In the chase, the two sides unknowingly strayed far from the tribe's safe zone and entered the area where the tree people usually hunted.
Only then did Wang Hao's feverish mind, fueled by the chase, gradually calm down.
He scanned his surroundings warily, not missing any suspicious corners, but found no traps.
He also had several tree branches tap and knock around the area, but there was nothing unusual.
Even so, Wang Hao decided not to pursue the matter any further and prepared to return.
Want to leave? Too late.
Yunzhen stood in a secluded spot, slowly closed her eyes, and released all her senses.
Through her most primal instincts, she could sense every animal in the forest.
A faint pink mist emanated from her body, drifting away with the wind and spreading to every corner of the forest.
Immediately afterwards, she gently touched the ground with her delicate hand, her movements slow and elegant.
In a corner unseen by the crowd, all the animals seemed to have their primal instincts ignited, plunging into a frenzied riot.
"Boom!"
The sound of running came from all directions, like thunder.
What's that noise?
Everyone immediately became alert.
"Quickly, protect me, all of you stand in front of me."
Wang Hao reacted extremely quickly, instantly grabbing the two tree maidens who had been hit by the puppet talisman.
Left with no other choice, the tree had to stand at the very front.
Meanwhile, another group took the opportunity to lead the remaining tree women and flee in other directions. They didn't care whether they were their masters or not; their priority was to get away with the people they could save.
Even if I die in the forest this time, it's better than staying by that despicable person's side.
Wang Hao immediately realized that those tree shrubs whose masters were puppets.
"Bring those people back immediately and put them at the forefront!"
He always used these tree clusters to manage more tree clusters; he only needed to hold onto their tree maidens tightly.
With their master held hostage, these people had no choice but to obey orders and chase after the escapee.
The Lingze tribe members ahead also quickly turned back to help the fleeing people.
Some took advantage of the chaos to attack the treacherous members of the forest, while others tried to sneak up on Wang Hao.
Some trees, upon seeing their owners, would become excited and rush to their owners, protecting them as they retreated.
Yao Jin and the others took this opportunity to come to Yun Zhen's side and surround her.
This small area instantly descended into chaos.
[System, what should I do? Tell me quickly!]
Wang Hao called out urgently in his mind.
He hadn't even come to his senses; in such a short instant, how did the situation become completely out of control?
He didn't understand. Ultimately, it was because he had brought too few Tree Factions that he could completely control, while the rest of the Tree Factions harbored resentment towards him. Given the opportunity, they would surely cause chaos.
[You idiot, what are you still lingering here for? Ignore these people, take the men and retreat back to the Lingze tribe.]
The Domination System, having reached its limit, originally intended to let him experience things firsthand, to make him understand its importance, and to make him obedient in the future. Who knew what would happen next? His men were thrown into riot.
They're so stupid, they can't even handle such a small thing.
Can I still escape now?
Yun Zhen curled her lips and raised her voice, "Everyone, get away from Wang Hao."
The people of the Lingze tribe naturally obeyed, and the people of the Linglan tribe also quickly ran away.
In an instant, only Wang Hao, the two tree maidens he controlled, and their tree followers remained on the spot. Even the tree followers controlled by the other masters ran away.
They didn't know the function of the puppet talisman, only that its master was unusually obedient to the tree spirit and demanded that they obey as well.
But now that their master is not here, they are naturally emboldened to outwardly comply while inwardly defying him.
"Your master's life is in my hands. If I die, they won't live either. All of you, come back here!"
The trees looked at each other, then began to sway.
This tree is a bit eerie; what if what he said is true?
Yun Zhen said, "Stop them, don't let them pass."
As for the remaining tree maidens, she was powerless to help them. She didn't know the effect of the puppet talisman, and if she rescued them from Wang Hao's hands now, they might die in an instant.
At this moment, the thunderous footsteps finally revealed their true nature.
This is a group of large predators in the forest, including saber-toothed tigers, cave bears, crocodile wolves, and so on.
These predators, who would normally hardly ever meet, had all gathered together.
Then, a group of wild animals came out from other directions. Some of these animals were carnivorous, while others were herbivorous, but they managed to coexist peacefully with each other.
However, they looked very abnormal at this moment, with bloodshot eyes and a covetous gaze fixed on Wang Hao.
The trees were unusually vigilant, and Xuan Shui couldn't help but say, "Master, shall we leave first?"
"It's okay, let's wait a little longer."
Yunzhen decided to stay, and the rest of the trees didn't leave either, but simply retreated a little, clearly determined to stick together.
Stared at by so many ferocious beasts, Wang Hao trembled with fear.
"ah--"
He screamed and shoved the two tree maidens he was clinging to towards them, then turned and ran.
He was so terrified that he even forgot to call the system.
"Owner!"
The trees' expressions changed, and they rushed over to try to protect their master.
Normally, these beasts would have opened their mouths wide, but at this moment they were not interested in food. They lightly jumped to avoid the flying figure, and then pounced on Wang Hao who was running.
"Get away from me! Don't eat me! Get out!"
Wang Hao was gripped by extreme terror and fear, and he flailed his arms and legs wildly.
If it were an original tree branch, it would have had a chance to break free and run away, but it wasn't. Even its struggles seemed chaotic, so after thrashing around for a long time, it was still lying on the ground.
The beast that held it down lowered its head, tore the hide off its body, and then pressed itself onto it.
Other ferocious beasts were not to be outdone and rushed forward to get a share of the spoils.
"Ah—Help—Help me!!!"
Heart-wrenching screams echoed from the herd of beasts.
All the onlookers gasped in astonishment.
Xi Tu instinctively grabbed Yun Zhen's hand, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.
"Owner?"
Yunzhen patted his hand reassuringly, but her gaze remained coldly fixed on the pile of beast balls.
Yes, at this moment, there wasn't a single human figure to be seen in that area, only layers upon layers of wild beasts.
Since you look down on women and wantonly humiliate them, then die in humiliation.
