Chapter 38 (Three in One)
It has five flesh-colored petals, and its hairs seem to squirm with life. Freshly released from the human body, the hairs are covered in scarlet blood, and it cries like a baby!
When Wu Jian saw what Zhao Qing had taken out of the man's body, he immediately stepped back a few meters, his whole body filled with resistance.
Then, he heard the voice of the light brain broadcast.
[Bone-eroding flower mimicry.]
Danger level: Three stars
The Bone-Erosion Flower has two forms: an aggressive vine and a growing form. Once the Bone-Erosion Flower enters an object, it will rapidly spread its seeds, and will not stop growing until it has completely occupied the object.
Zhao Qing said, "There may be many of these Bone-Eroding Flower mimics in his blood. We must pick them out bit by bit, otherwise they will continue to suck blood until the person is reduced to dried meat."
"Kill me, it hurts, my body hurts. Captain, give me a blow, quick! I'd rather die than be sucked dry by this thing!"
The man rolled on the ground in pain, and something beneath his skin was visibly spreading to all parts of his body.
Wu Jian looked around and said to everyone, "See if there is anything that can restrain the Corpse Flower."
Everyone searched around, but it seemed that there were no other plants alive except the bone-eating flower vines.
Obviously, this place has become the nest of the bone-eating flower.
Wu Jian sighed. Not only was he unlucky, but how could he bring a group of people down with him to the point of stepping into someone else's lair and becoming their food? This was simply unlucky.
Wu Jian looked around carefully and found that the bone-eroding vines would deliberately avoid a place with succulent plants.
My eyes lit up, this must be it!
Wu Jian picked a few pieces of granulation tissue and gave them to Zhao Qing.
The man's skin was covered with flesh-colored flowers, densely packed and spreading all the way to his neck. His eye sockets were sunken, his eye bags were dark blue, his face was gradually wrinkled, and he looked decadent.
He is getting old in another way.
The people present had no way to help him, and could only pin their hopes on the granulation tissue that Wu Jian had found.
Because the fleshy granules grew up to his throat and blocked his throat, making it impossible for him to swallow, Zhao Qing had to grind the fleshy granules and apply them on his skin.
The man's screams of pain turned into muffled groans, and his wrinkled skin continued to change.
The granulation was useful, but not very effective. It could only barely keep him alive.
Wu Jian said: "Give
Did he take the cure?"
The healing agent Zhao Jian took out was a medicine recently developed on Blue Star.
Wu Jian frowned and said, "Why not just give him the Interstellar Universal Potion?"
Zhao Jian paused and said with a wry smile, "Interstellar potions are very expensive. We've basically used them up in the first two games, and now we don't have any savings left to buy more!"
Wu Jian was silent. He finally looked at the space on his bracelet and saw that there were only five healing fruits left.
He ate too many healing fruits at Training Ground 09 and his savings were almost gone.
He gritted his teeth and took out a healing fruit and gave it to Zhao Jian.
Zhao Jian was slightly surprised, "Wu Jian you..."
Wu Jian said: "Don't look at me, I have to pay it back after the game is over!"
It would make him feel sad if there is one less!
But he couldn't just watch someone die before his eyes, right? He couldn't do it.
Zhao Jian was moved and said, "Thank you, I will return it!"
With the help of the healing fruit, the man's life was saved, but he felt a little listless and lacked energy.
They carefully avoided the bone-eating vines and continued forward.
The surroundings were extremely quiet, and the green vines were intertwined to form a green ocean.
Wu Jian dodged the vine attack again and hated the color green for the first time, especially the vines with "long arms".
As soon as the vine wraps around a person, the flowers on it will automatically fall off the vine, just like a facehugger, sticking to the person's body. Even if they can be pulled off, they will take away a piece of flesh and blood.
Everyone can only be careful.
Wu Jian can fly, which is an advantage in the team.
He flew in mid-air, telling everyone which direction was safest, but the vines were extremely sensitive to sound, so he mostly relied on body movements to give instructions.
Fortunately, Wu Jian was there, so they didn't fall into the trap. Except for the painful attack at the beginning, the subsequent vines no longer attacked them, as if they were asleep.
After much difficulty, we finally got around the vine's nest. The surrounding vegetation also increased, and green dandelions were flying in the air.
"Are we out yet?" someone asked in a low voice.
No one answered him, but everyone's expressions visibly relaxed.
At this time, Wu Jian picked up a small green dandelion.
It looks like a dandelion on the outside, but if you look closely, you will find that it has many tentacles emitting green light.
Wu Jian let go of Pu
The little dandelions blended into the group of their friends, clinging to other plants and looking very harmless.
At first, Wu Jian also thought so and did not take Dandelion seriously.
He is now wondering how to get out of this green ocean.
As they hurried on, Zhao Qing said again with a serious expression, "His condition is not good."
"Didn't he eat the healing fruit and apply the antidote? Why did the injury get worse?" Wu Jian couldn't figure it out.
Zhao Qing explained: "It may be because the Bone-Eroding Flower is so powerful that the healing fruit can only suppress it, not cure it. Over time, the wound will worsen."
"Ankur, are you okay?" Zhao Jian asked the man who was parasitized by the bone-eating flower worriedly.
Ankur opened his eyes haggardly, breathing rapidly and humming, as if he wanted to say something to Zhao Jian, but his throat was blocked by the bone-eroding flower, making him unable to speak.
Zhao Jian seemed to understand Ankur's thoughts and shook his head at him.
"Ankur, hold on a little longer, okay?"
Ankur grunted a few times and finally closed his eyes.
While everyone was resting in place, Zhao Qing hurried to treat Ankur.
The sky was dark, and rustling sounds could be heard all around, as if something was crawling. The dandelions floating in the sky were shining green, and there were dots of stars, like a fairyland in a dream.
Unfortunately, no one appreciated it, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Ankur.
After Zhao Qing let go of his hand, transparent water stains spread across Ankur's body.
Ankur is a water-based mutant, but now his body is leaking water. What's going on?
Zhao Qing said with an unpleasant expression: "His supernatural power is decomposing."
"What!"
Everyone was shocked.
Tang Keke asked doubtfully, "What does his ability decomposition mean?"
"It means that his superpowers are disappearing. Once the water dries up, he will become an ordinary person again!" Zhao Jian stared at his teammates.
Tang Keke said stiffly, "It can't be true. Our abilities are innate since birth, how could they disappear?"
Zhao Qing shook his head. "I didn't notice this when I first examined him. But as time went on, I noticed his clothes were soaked. I initially thought he was sweating from the pain and didn't think much of it. But as his body secreted more and more water, his energy was rapidly declining, so I finally confirmed it."
Panic spread among everyone.
Their superpowers are
Their super powers had helped them a lot in the competition, but now someone told them that this advantage was about to disappear, and they would become ordinary people without weapons. In the arena, without super powers, they were nothing!
Everyone stood there in shock, looking at Ankur lying on the ground, his face flushed from struggling to breathe. Suddenly, they felt a sense of grief for the other party.
"Can he still be saved?" Zhao Jian asked Zhao Qing sadly.
Zhao Qing opened his mouth, but could only say to Zhao Jian sadly, "I'm sorry."
Zhao Jian took a deep breath.
"You guys go first, I'll see him off for the last time."
When Zhao Qing wanted to say something, Tang Keke pulled him away.
Wu Jian sighed. He had clearly tried his best to save him, but he still had to die. He experienced the feeling of powerlessness once again.
Wu Jian looked at the starry night sky with a confused look in his eyes.
——
Zhao Jian caught up with the team again. She was alone and no one came forward to ask where Ankur had gone.
Wu Jian glanced at Zhao Jian. Her expression was very calm, showing no emotion, only a flash of sadness in her brown eyes.
Teammates have passed away, but their journey must continue.
Wu Jian brushed off the annoying dandelions and continued flying.
After flying for a long time, his wings began to ache and his head felt dizzy when he heard someone calling him.
Wu Jian turned around and saw that the person calling him was Zhao Qing.
Zhao Qing looked at him worriedly.
"Wu Jian, are you okay? Do you want to stop and rest for a while?"
For the entire day, Wu Jian only ate some dried meat on the way and kept directing their direction without resting.
Zhao Qing watched him flying up and down, and his condition was not very good, so he couldn't help but call him.
Tang Keke listened to Zhao Qing's words and said, "Wu Jian, take a break. We can't rely on you alone to move forward. Come on, come and rest in my pocket!"
As she spoke, she opened the pocket of her windbreaker and looked at Wu Jian expectantly.
God knows he even asked a tailor to make the pockets bigger for this moment.
Zhao Qing, who knew Tang Keke, was speechless.
He really didn't want to see Tang Keke, who had a sweet appearance, develop strange attributes.
Wu Jian naturally didn't know what the two were thinking. After hesitating for a while, he chose to enter Tang Keke's pocket.
Tang Keke's pockets are big and
The comfort also made Wu Jian breathe a sigh of relief, with only a pair of eyes exposed.
Wu Jian whispered, "Can you guys please stop and rest for a while?"
Tang Keke said, "It may be a little slow, but it won't delay the trip. I'll be the forward."
Tang Keke took the lead and walked in front, and the people behind continued to follow her.
Wu Jian observed for a while, and when he found that the vines around him showed no signs of rioting, he put his head back into his pocket. His eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he fell asleep.
He slept soundly and when he woke up again, it was already bright daylight.
Wu Jian climbed out of his pocket and looked outside.
The surroundings were still green, and they felt a little regretful that they had not yet walked out of this sea of green.
"You're awake."
A voice with a heavy bubbling sound sounded above Wu Jian's head.
Um?
What's that strange sound?
Wu Jian raised his head and looked, his eyes widened!
The Tang Keke in front of him turned into a green furry monster, and the fur seemed to be wriggling with life.
Wu Jian stared at the furry monster in a daze, speechless.
At this time, the furry monster asked doubtfully, "Wu Jian, what's wrong with you?"
"Is Wu Jian awake?" Suddenly another furry monster appeared next to the furry monster.
Wu Jian:!
The two furry monsters stared at Wu Jian and discussed with each other.
"I don't know. Is he like this after he woke up?"
"Maybe he was tired from the long flight yesterday. Let him get some sleep first."
Wu Jian also thought so. He must not have woken up yet to have such a strange dream. He decided to sleep a little longer.
Wu Jian blocked his ears, his breathing gradually slowed down, and he fell asleep again.
——
Wu Jian stared at the furry monster blankly. The facts told him that he was not hallucinating or dreaming. All his teammates had mutated.
The most important thing is that they didn’t even notice anything wrong with their bodies and were still discussing the plot. Wu Jian just found it outrageous.
"Wu Jian has been in this position for three hours. What happened to him?"
"I checked his body and didn't find anything wrong. Is he still sad about teammate Zhao Jian leaving?"
"Hey, he's still a cub after all. It's normal for him to be unable to accept the departure of others. Let him sort out his emotions on his own."
Wu Jian listened to the two green
The conversation was so erotic and furry that it made me feel really bad.
Who could tell him what was going on? His teammates weren't human anymore?
Wu Jian covered his face with his paws.
Shocking though it may be, but we should try to save them, right? Looking at the squirming fur, I'm about to get intensive fear. Help!
Wu Jian sighed and thought carefully about the details before he fell asleep.
There were no details, they were either on the road or on their way to the road, there was nothing unusual at all.
Suddenly, Wu Jian stopped and looked up at the sky.
The dark green sky is like a green oil painting splashed onto white cloth. The darker the green, the more depressing it is.
Something is wrong!
When he fell asleep, there were green things like dandelions floating in the sky, but now they are gone, and instead his teammates have inexplicably turned green and furry.
Wu Jian called out tentatively, "Tang Keke, Zhao Qing?"
The two furries closest to him looked over here.
"Wu Jian?"
Wu Jian asked, "What do you think of my appearance?"
The two furry creatures were silent for a moment, then asked him in unison, "Wu Jian, what's wrong with you?"
Wu Jian roared in his heart: I am saving you!
"Just tell the truth."
The two furry creatures began to describe Wu Jian's appearance.
"Isn't that a little dragon cub with white wings? Oh, and your dragon horns have turned deep red. How magical!"
Has the color of the dragon's horns changed?
Wu Jian touched his dragon horn, but unfortunately he couldn't see it, so he could only roughly imagine the color of the dragon horn from their description.
"But, Wu Jian, why did your dragon horn suddenly change color?"
Wu Jian sighed, "I don't know if there's something wrong with my eyes, or if there's something wrong with you guys."
"Um?"
"You've turned into a furry mass now. I think it's because of those dandelions. Can't you see what you look like?"
Wu Jian's words made the two furry creatures pause and shake their heads at the same time.
"Wu Jian, are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"
Wu Jian nodded vigorously: "I'm sure you are not human now."
Everyone fell silent. If Wu Jian was not joking, they did look different, but they didn't feel anything at all, which was very dangerous.
"Wu Jian, can you please
Let’s describe what we are like now.”
Wu Jian could only try to describe it to them as clearly and carefully as possible.
From Wu Jian, they learned that their appearance had changed into a furry object, which was hard to accept for a while.
Tang Keke said, "But we didn't feel anything at all, and Zhao Qing looks the same as always, hasn't he changed at all?"
Mao Rongrong Zhao Qing nodded vigorously: "Yes, we didn't feel anything at all."
Mao Rongrong Zhao Jian said in a deep voice: "Maybe some substance affects our eyes, so we see things differently."
The furry Tang Keke said, "But the question now is, between us and Wu Jian, whose eyes are the problem?"
Wu Jian frowned. Tang Keke and the others couldn't see his changes. Was there really something wrong with his eyes?
He took out a healing fruit from the space and ate it. He squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of Tang Keke, but there was still no change.
“No change.”
Wu Jian was a little disappointed.
Tang Keke said, "Why don't we go first? I feel uneasy staying here."
"Let's leave first. We can discuss other matters on the way."
Wu Jian thought it made sense, so the group left and continued walking.
After walking for a few hours, Wu Jian rubbed his sore eyes and looked at Tang Keke and the others again. He found that there was less hair on their bodies and his facial features could be seen.
At this moment, Wu Jian couldn't help but question himself, "Is there really something wrong with my eyes?"
Tang Keke said worriedly, "Could it be that you were flying in the opposite direction to the dandelions, and a dandelion accidentally flew into your eyes?"
"It's not without reason."
Now they are sure that there is something wrong with Wu Jian's eyes, and they are not the ones who have turned into monsters. While they are relieved, they can't help but worry about Wu Jian.
Zhao Qing asked, "Are there any other discomforts in your eyes?"
Wu Jian shook his head. He didn't feel any discomfort.
Zhao Qing placed his hands on Wu Jian's forehead. A warmth slowly moved from his brain to his limbs, and he gradually felt his body filled with strength.
"I helped you channel the power in your body. Do you feel better now?"
Wu Jian nodded.
Half a day later, Wu Jian could clearly see the original appearance of Tang Keke and the others.
"That's it!"
Everyone was happy for him.
But Wu Jian couldn't feel happy at all. He always felt that the furry monster he saw was too real, and he felt vaguely worried.
——
After two or three days of walking through the green grasslands, the group encountered numerous unexpected events. Furthermore, they hadn't spotted any other civilizations. The others grew increasingly anxious, their spirits growing restless.
"It's been a few days, why haven't you walked out yet? Is it possible that you've encountered a ghost wall?"
"Although we don't have to worry about food now, if I stay here any longer, I might go crazy."
"Captain, what should we do now?"
When teammates couldn't make up their minds, they would look for the captain, but as the captain, Zhao Jian's brows were never relaxed.
"Hold on, maybe we've reached the end of the grassland. If we hold on, we can get out."
"I hope so."
Zhao Jian was helpless in seeing the others' increasingly negative attitudes and could only hope that the grassland would really come to an end.
She accidentally noticed that Ryan, who had been at the end, seemed a little strange, so she stopped and asked.
"Ryan, what's wrong with you?"
"Captain, I'm fine. My scalp just feels a little itchy." Itchy scalp?
Zhao Jian's golden hair was casually tied up with a rubber band at this time, making him look neat and tidy.
One of her teammates had already sacrificed, and she didn't want any other accidents to happen.
She walked over to Ryan and said, "Let me help you take a look."
Lian An waited obediently for Zhao Jian to check.
Zhao Jian took one look and his scalp immediately exploded, and he froze in place.
Feeling that the captain hadn't moved, Ryan asked, "Captain?"
Zhao Jian asked Ryan in a somewhat unstable voice, "When did you feel your scalp itchy?"
Ryan thought for a moment and said, "About two or three hours? Captain, what did you see?"
The two people's voices attracted the attention of others, and their eyes turned to them.
Wu Jian also heard Zhao Jian's voice. When he met her anxious eyes, Wu Jian had some bad thoughts in his mind.
He flew to Zhao Jian's side and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhao Jian took a deep breath and said, "Lian has grass growing on his head."
Wu Jian:?
What's the meaning?
Wu Jian flew to the top of Ryan's head and saw very obvious green sprouts emerging from the golden hair follicles.
His eyes widened in disbelief.
"What's going on?"
Zhao Jian shook his head to indicate that he was not sure either.
Ryan was frightened by their actions of twisting his head one by one, and he was trembling while asking questions.
"Captain, am I dying?"
Zhao Jian comforted him, "Don't overthink it. Maybe it's just some kind of bacterial infection. Just wipe it off."
Ryan forced a smile.
Zhao Jian's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Everyone couldn't help but exclaim when they saw the green sprouts on Ryan's head.
Zhao Jian warned the others: "If you feel anything is wrong with your body, you must tell me."
"Captain, when you mention that, my scalp feels itchy."
"Me too."
"I also……"
Time passed by minute by minute, and more and more people were in similar situations to Lian An, until almost everyone was infected, except Wu Jian and Zhao Jian.
Tang Keke scratched her itchy scalp until it almost broke, but the itchiness did not subside.
"I really want to peel off my entire scalp right now. It's so itchy, I can't stand it! Why are Wu Jian and Zhao Jian okay?"
Wu Jian shook his head, also confused.
Why are he and Zhao Jian the only ones who are fine?
Wu Jian thought about it, his stomach growled, and he rubbed it.
I am still growing and cannot reduce the number of times I eat. It turns out that thinking should be left to others, and I really can't do it myself.
Wu Jian drank milk while thinking about something and rubbed his belly from time to time.
Suddenly, his movements stopped.
"Zhao Jian, what power have you awakened?"
Zhao Jian said: "Fire element."
Wu Jian tapped his palm. "Is it possible that they are plants, naturally afraid of fire, and so they automatically exclude us?"
Zhao Jian nodded: "That's possible."
Tang Keke's scalp was about to explode. She said, "Have you two discussed it? Is there any way to save us? It's really itchy and unbearable."
Tang Keke is just a power-type mutant, so the situation is relatively better.
Ryan is the only one with earth attribute ability. Soil is the favorite thing of plants. His situation is more serious than others. The sprouts have grown to half a meter high, with branches and green leaves. The vines on his head are growing faster and faster.
The situation is getting worse and worse.
Wu Jian looked at the vine above Lian's head. There was a small flower bud among the green leaves, and the petals were in the process of opening.
"The bud on Ryan's head is about to bloom!"
Zhao Jian hurried forward to observe.
The flower buds on Ryan's head bloomed and then withered in just a moment, waiting for the petals to fall completely and form thumb-sized fruits. The fruits grew bigger and bigger, and finally pushed open the skin, and countless green dandelions floated out.
Zhao Jian muttered to himself, "Is this how the dandelions we saw before came? Aren't there players from other civilizations ahead of us? Are they the ones who walked ahead of us and became the nutrients for these things?"
Wu Jian turned his head and tried to crawl into the green vines, but Zhao Jian held him back.
"what you up to?"
Wu Jian flapped his wings and said, "Let's verify your statement!"
Wu Jian breathed a breath of fire at the vines, and the vines spread out, allowing everyone to see the scene under the vines and gasp.
"He, they..."
People are not confident.
Under the vines, green skeletons resembling human figures appeared, with green vines growing from their heads, spreading all around.
Tang Keke said bitterly, "Could it be possible that we will be the same as them?"
"I don't want it. I'd rather die than let these bastards get away with it!"
"Captain, save me, I don't want to die, wuwuwuwu."
"My lover is waiting for me to come back. I can't die here. I don't believe that these things can't be pulled out. Go to hell!"
The man was seen pulling out the young shoots, and blood oozed out of his scalp.
He gritted his teeth and pulled out the tender buds on his head again. He did this several times in a row. Although his head was covered in blood, fortunately he had pulled out all the buds.
At this moment, his happy expression immediately turned ferocious and he screamed miserably.
I saw tender shoots growing rapidly on his plucked scalp, until green dandelions popped out from the opened fruits.
Wu Jian opened his eyes wide and watched him lose his vital signs bit by bit. He hurried forward and pressed his philtrum with his claws.
"Hold on!"
"Help me, please... mmm."
As he spoke, vines extended from his mouth.
Wu Jian's wings were pinched by him and hurt, but he didn't block his hand. He kept comforting him and said, "Hold on, I'll try to burn them to death with fire!"
He breathed out fire and burned the man's scalp.
Perhaps it was his strong desire to survive, but even though his skin and flesh were burnt, he did not make a sound and gritted his teeth to persevere until all the vines fell off, revealing bloody holes.
Wu Jian put away the flame and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm not very skilled yet.
Zhao Qing endured the itch on his scalp, checked the man's condition, and couldn't stop talking excitedly.
"it works!"
Tang Keke's eyes lit up: "Really? Little dragon, try it on me, I'm so itchy I can't stand it!"
Wu Jian scratched his head and asked, "Don't you want your hair anymore?"
Tang Keke said nonchalantly, "I want to live a good life more than my hair!"
Wu Jian nodded, "Okay then, I'll help you, just hold it in."
Tang Keke nodded vigorously.
Wu Jian's abdomen bulged and flames poured out towards Tang Keke's scalp.
Tang Keke is indeed a person who has suffered great punishment and can endure more than ordinary people.
The tender buds fell off automatically when they encountered the flames, and her hair also fell off. Her life was saved, but she became a bald boiled egg!
Wu Jian smacked his lips and praised, "You may be bald, but it doesn't affect your looks."
Tang Keke smiled and said, "It's okay, I don't care about my face."
At this moment, a scream came from the other side, which scared Wu Jian.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"
A ball of fire floated in Zhao Jian's hand. He looked at his bald teammates with an ugly expression. New sprouts grew on his head again.
"My flame, why is it useless?"
Forehead?
This is Wu Jian’s blind spot in knowledge.
Yes, why does my flame work, but Zhao Jian’s doesn’t?
Wu Jian scratched his head and suddenly felt itchy.
Tang Keke almost had PTSD, and asked Wu Jian anxiously, "What's wrong? You're not...?"
Wu Jian shook his head and said, "It's okay, I just can't understand why my flame works but Zhao Jian's doesn't."
Tang Keke breathed a sigh of relief and made up a few words: "Maybe the attributes are different? Think about it, you are a descendant of the dragon clan, so the flame you spit out cannot be compared with that of a superpower. Because the power of the flame itself is different!"
Zhao Jian nodded thoughtfully: "Perhaps this is where we can't figure it out."
After listening to what the two said, Wu Jian continued to help others lose their hair, or rather, remove their vines.
Half a day later, the hair of various colors before has now become
There were not just one, but a group of round bald heads.
A group of bright light bulbs, no need to be afraid of the dark night.
Wu Jian was exhausted and collapsed. His wings carried him floating in the air, and he hung his head with a look of despair.
"Little Dragon, you're amazing!" Tang Keke praised him generously, "If it weren't for you, we'd probably all be dead here."
Wu Jian's face was covered with scales, and his dragon face was pink. He said shyly, "I was just helping out."
Others also praised him.
"Wu Jian, you are so amazing. If it weren't for you, I might have become the same as those people under the vines."
"Yes, yes. Wu Jian, you are amazing."
For the first time, Wu Jian felt embarrassed when being praised, so he strategically hid in Tang Keke's pocket and drank some animal milk to calm himself down.
The team continued to move forward normally. Not long after, everyone saw a green forest appearing in the green grassland.
"A mirage? Or an illusion?"
"Captain, should we go take a look?"
Zhao Jian pondered for a while and looked at the little dragon cub in Tang Keke's pocket.
However, because of "hair removal" for a group of people, the little dragon cub was exhausted and fell asleep again. Zhao Jian didn't want to disturb the little dragon cub's sleep again.
"Let's go take a look first. Keke, Zhao Qing, what do you think?"
"We thought so too. We finally saw a forest in the grassland, so of course we had to go in and see what it was like."
Zhao Jian nodded. He had the same idea as Tang Keke.
So, a group of people walked into the forest.
The trees here are all green except for the flowers on the vines climbing up the trees.
Everyone was a little disappointed.
"It turns out to be just a forest. I thought I would meet other players." Tang Keke said regretfully.
At this time, the vines on the tree began to change, scaring everyone to gather together and look at the wriggling vines vigilantly.
"What's going on?" Tang Keke blinked. "I just said it casually. I didn't mean to offend you. Please don't be surprised."
Zhao Qing pulled Tang Keke back a step, and the vine just happened to brush past her cheek.
I saw vines entwined into tree houses one after another, filled with flowers of various colors.
The houses are close to each other, and it looks densely packed.
At this time, beautiful people came out of the house.
Wu Jian, who had just been awakened by Tang Keke's voice, popped his head out of his pocket. When he saw the beautiful people outside, his scarlet eyes widened.
"Wow, so beautiful."
The next second, Wu Jian's voice attracted the group of people to look over here.
They all have a pair of green wings behind them, like elves in the forest.
"You are the guests who have come from afar, right?"
One of the beautiful elves, with the local magic mark on her head, walked forward with a smile.
Tang Keke was pushed out to talk to the elves.
"Yes."
The elf introduced itself: "We are the elves of this planet, also known as tree elves. Welcome everyone to our green forest planet. Guests, please come in."
Wu Jian and his group followed the elf.
The other elves were looking at them curiously, with strange dark glints in their green eyes.
When they were about to enter the vine house, Tang Keke hesitated. Not only him, but everyone else didn't dare to take a step forward.
The elf noticed their abnormality and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Tang Keke and her group didn't say anything.
The elf seemed to see through their thoughts and explained, "Did you come in and get attacked by green vines? They are the guardians of this planet and forbid outsiders to enter. But they don't have any offensive power now, so you can rest assured." Tang Keke asked, "Then, let's not go in."
The elf smiled, and when he smiled, the flowers around him bloomed, really blooming.
Wu Jian looked at this amazing scene, his eyes almost overflowing with curiosity.
"We've had a little problem in the Green Forest recently. Every night, the Bone Eaters come out to hunt. The only safest place to stay is in a house. Of course, we charge for our houses."
For some reason, they felt relieved when they heard about the charges.
In a place like this, you could lose your life at any time. Free things could be even more deadly, but paid ones at least have a protection mechanism.
Tang Keke asked: "How much does it cost?"
"Our houses here are cheap and affordable, and they also have open-air views. You're guaranteed to sleep through the night, and all it takes is only one hundred energy stones."
"All of us together?"
"No, it's 100 energy stones per person."
Everyone was shocked.
“It’s so expensive.”
The elf smiled and said, "Being expensive has its advantages. What do you think?"
Tang Keke said, "We need to discuss this."
"OK."
A group of people gathered together and talked in low voices.
Tang Keke asked, "What do you think?"
Zhao Qing said, "It should be possible, but I think these elves are a little strange, but I can't put my finger on what they are."
Zhao Jian said: "I agree with Zhao Qing."
Tang Keke turned her gaze to Wu Jian and said, "Wu Jian, do you think we should stay here?"
Wu Jian was distracted and said, "They are so beautiful, with shiny wings."
Everyone: “…”!
