Chapter 33
Long Yuanyuan was surprised and looked around. Then she realized that it must be the plants talking to her.
Thinking about the content of the voice, Long Yuanyuan immediately put away the dagger, sat down on the ground, and asked, "Who are you?"
Although her hands are not big, she can hold six or seven at a time, or even more.
[You are the grass, your whole family is grass! ]
Long Yuanyuan curled her lips and said, "It seems that I don't have any strange grass in my hands, so I should continue cutting it."
She took out the dagger again and pretended to cut the grass.
[Ahh! I was wrong! Let go, little one! I'll let you enjoy my unparalleled beauty!]
Long Yuanyuan obediently let go of his hand and looked at the dry grass in front of him with curiosity.
The next second, one of the vines suddenly changed into something else. It was completely black, but with red threads mixed in. A closer look revealed countless tiny, dark red thorns on the vine.
Fortunately, Long Yuanyuan let go, otherwise the sharp thorn would definitely pierce her hand.
It swayed from side to side, which made people feel complacent for some reason.
[I'm not some grass, I'm a giant black vine! The most beautiful giant black vine on the continent!]
Long Yuanyuan was silent for a moment. In her young heart, she felt that it was wrong to point out the mistakes in her new friend's words right at the beginning. She had no choice but to change the subject and said, "Teng Teng, then why did you turn into grass?"
When Mo Ju Teng heard this name, he shook a little as if shy.
"If I revert to my giant black vine form, I'll definitely die easily! But there's so much dead grass here. If I turn into dead grass, other animals or plants won't notice me, and I can live peacefully!"
Long Yuanyuan was increasingly puzzled. "But there aren't any animals or plants left now. You're no longer in danger."
Mo Ju Teng was silent for a while before answering reluctantly.
What you said seems to make sense.
Long Yuanyuan glanced at the sky, her eyes rolling around, and her deliberately soft voice sounded especially sweet: "It's getting late now, Teng Teng, I want to go home, do you want to go back with me?"
She thought of the fact that all creatures in the wilderness were extremely short of water, and added, "I have water at home. I can give you some!"
When Mo Ju Teng heard that there was water, he was immediately attracted. However, when he thought about what would happen if he followed the cub home, and whether the cub was lying to him, he hesitated for a moment.
Long Yuanyuan waited for a long time but received no reply from Mo Ju Teng, so she had to give up the idea of luring Mo Ju Teng back home. "Okay, then, goodbye Teng Teng. I'm going home first. It's especially dangerous outside once it gets dark."
[Wait! Little cub, do you really have water at home? Are you really willing to give me water?]
The giant vine thought for a long time and finally came to a conclusion: if he didn't follow her home, he wouldn't be able to drink water, and if he couldn't drink water, he would die. So, he couldn't help but ask again.
Long Yuanyuan nodded, looking certain: "As long as you come home with me, there will be water to drink, but..."
She smiled shyly, but a hint of mischief could be seen in her deep brown eyes. "But you have to sign a contract with me! After that, you'll be my plant. Of course, I have to take care of you!"
Upon hearing this, Mo Ju Teng hesitated again, but the aura of the cub in front of him made it feel particularly close, and it always felt that following the other party was a good choice.
Thinking of this, Mo Ju Teng did not hesitate at all.
【Then I want to go home with you! 】
"Okay!" Long Yuanyuan smiled brightly, like a cat stealing honey, and the dimples on her face made people want to poke them.
She immediately took out a dagger, gently cut a wound on her finger, and endured the pain while dripping blood on the giant black vine.
The next second, these words appeared in Mo Ju Teng's mind.
【Will you sign a contract with Long Yuanyuan?】
Mo Ju Teng chose "yes" without hesitation.
"Teng Teng, we are a family from now on! Do you have many roots so I can dig you up and take you home?" Long Yuanyuan circled around the giant black vine several times and asked curiously.
【No need to bother. 】
As soon as he finished speaking, the vines of the Mo Giant Vine hooked around Long Yuanyuan's wrist, and then shrank directly, turning into the shape of a bracelet and hanging on Long Yuanyuan's wrist.
"Wow! Teng Teng is so great!" Long Yuanyuan couldn't help but praise her, her baby voice full of sincerity.
She immediately put on her backpack, took Yaya and ran towards the cabin, eager to share this new friend with Huahua and Dashu.
Yaya couldn't help but greet Mo Ju Teng from the side.
[Teng Teng...Ya Ya. 】
Long Yuanyuan immediately translated: "Teng Teng, Yaya is greeting you and introducing herself."
The Mo Ju Teng snorted in a disdainful manner, and the ink color on his body became darker.
[Hello, I am the Mo Giant Vine, the most beautiful plant on this continent!]
【no.....】
"What?! You dare to say I'm not the most beautiful? You're just a newborn green bud, how dare you talk to me like that!"
[I don’t… dare…]
Long Yuanyuan ran back, not caring about Teng Teng and Ya Ya who were quarreling, and simply didn't bother to care.
After running for a while, Long Yuanyuan saw the familiar courtyard gate. She immediately pushed it open and walked in, sharing excitedly, "Dashu, Huahua! This is Teng Teng, my new contracted Teng Teng!"
The dead tree's attention was drawn to it. Although it had been sensing the surroundings, it did not pay attention to Long Yuanyuan. It only knew that she was safe but did not know that she had actually made a new contract with a plant.
Dead Tree: "Is this... a giant black vine?"
Long Yuanyuan and Mo Juteng answered yes in unison, and then both the man and the plant couldn't help but burst into laughter, and the atmosphere became inexplicably cheerful.
The Ink Giant Vine still introduced itself arrogantly: "Big Tree, I am the Ink Giant Vine, the most beautiful plant on this continent!"
The dead tree was stunned for a moment. It never expected that this giant black vine would have such a personality. It was a bit unexpected for the tree...
"Yuanyuan, take a look at the level and skills of the Mo Ju Teng."
"Alright!" Long Yuanyuan placed Yaya on the ground and opened the interface. "Tengteng is a level one ordinary plant with a value of 9."
"I have two skills: camouflage and restraint."
The dead tree thought for a moment. It remembered that the thorns on the giant black vine were extremely sharp and even carried some poison, so the effect of this restraint should be significant.
It asked: "Mo Ju Teng, how often can you use these two skills?"
[I can keep pretending, but restraints won't work unless I'm dying.]
It seems that the value is 9, mainly because of the skill of disguise.
The dead tree is not surprising. There are very few plants in the wasteland now. Even if there are, their level is not high, or they are extremely high like this one.
