Chapter 289

The moonlight at night illuminated the lush forests, and a figure was stealthily moving through them. The trees he passed by quietly moved aside to carefully make room for him to pass.

Yu Tu kept recalling the direction that the vest had sensed before, and ran towards the direction in his memory without stopping. There was still a faint smell of alcohol on his body, but his eyes were extremely clear.

Yu Tu just allowed himself to get a little drunk and didn't lose consciousness for a long time. However, thanks to his acting skills which had improved by leaps and bounds over the past year or so, no one noticed that he was lying on the sofa pretending to be drunk.

Whether for his friends, for the elders of the Grass Clan, or for himself, Yu Tu has to explore the forbidden area.

The closer he got to the direction sensed by the vest, the more Yu Tu felt an inexplicable sense of oppression. The spiritual power that carefully wrapped his whole body suddenly increased several times in speed, and Yu Tu even felt a little exhausted.

If the right to visit the clan territory was not in the hands of the clan leader, entering without the clan leader's permission would trigger an alarm, and Yu Tu would have to bring his own vest over.

He held his knees with both hands, bent his waist and took a few deep breaths. The spiritual power in his body was no longer flowing as smoothly as before. Yu Tu knew that once the spiritual power flow was interrupted, his aura would leak out, and he would be caught by the clan leader in a few seconds.

The distance to the target was only a thousand meters. Yu Tu looked forward, unwilling to give up. If the human form didn’t work, then what about the prototype?

One second later, a 2.06-meter-tall tea tree seedling appeared at the spot. Yu Tu Miao took a step forward along the roots and was surprised to find that the pressure had decreased.

The forbidden area of ​​the plant tribe is indeed very friendly to plants!

After turning into a tea seedling, his speed dropped sharply. Yu Tu Miao moved forward clatteringly, occasionally using his roots and branches to push away the dead branches blocking his way. A distance of one thousand meters would only take him four or five minutes at his previous speed, but now it would take at least half an hour.

Yu Tu tried hard to hurry up with the original form, but what he didn't know was that at the end of his goal, the clan leader Di Wu was sitting on a big rock. In front of him was a water mirror floating, and in the mirror were sneaky tea seedlings.

"How adorable." Diwu smiled, "Tu Tu cub has become so cunning."

"Are you really going to let him walk into the forbidden area?" A woman with a calm face stood beside him, her long black hair tied into a snake-like bun at the back of her head. "And then arrest him at the gate of the forbidden area?"

"The one who understands me best is Linlin." Diwu looked at the tea tree seedling in the mirror, who was grunting and overturning the roadblock. His fingertips moved slightly, and the roadblock on the path leading to the forbidden area changed its shape again. "Do you think the tea trees have the same preferences? Why is Senior Bu Yehou interested in the forbidden area of ​​the grass tribe? Is Tu Tu also interested in the forbidden area of ​​the grass tribe?"

"Chief, let me remind you one more thing." Yilin said, "If he goes through so much hardship and reaches the gate of the forbidden area, and finds out that you are torturing him and watching him having fun, and he gets angry and cries, will you be responsible?"

"I know Tu Tu, he doesn't cry that easily." Diwu enlarged the image in the mirror and saw the tea tree seedling jump three feet high in fear of the python hanging upside down on the road, and then nimbly kicked the snake away. "He knows that what he did is wrong, so even if I tease him, he won't complain to any tree."

Diwu captured this scene with a photo stone: "The kid is naughty, he should learn his lesson."

Iris: “…”

"Why would a young seedling worry so much every day? He wishes he could do everything and protect everyone under his shade." Diwu sighed as he watched, "I'm reflecting on what we did wrong that made him feel so insecure."

"So—" Yilin frowned, "Chief, you want to use this forbidden area to tell him that our abilities are far greater than he thought, so that he can just be a young sapling and be at peace?"

"I told you that Linlin understands me!" Diwu had an expression of having met a bosom friend on his face. "Just imagine how excited Tutu was when he arrived at the gate of the forbidden area, thinking that he had deceived everyone, and then he found that everything was under my control. Wouldn't he be very impressed by me?"

Iris: “……?”

She felt that if she were the young tea tree, she would eat the tribe leader's heart raw.

…

Yu Tu walked for more than half an hour using the prototype and finally arrived at the foot of a hill. As long as he climbed over the hill, he could officially enter the forbidden area.

Yu Tu Miao jumped twice happily on the spot, bent its branches and shook its leaves, climbed up the hillside in one go, and then—

"Hi~Good evening, TuTu!"

Yu Tu Miao: “??!”

He lifted the leaf in confusion and saw the tribe leader sitting leisurely on the irregular rocks on the hillside, greeting him with a bright and sunny expression on his face.

The straight green sapling was so frightened that it took a step back and fell to the ground with a squeaking sound.

Diwu jumped down from the rock, came over and picked up Yu Tumiao from the ground, and threatened in a low voice: "How many times have I told you! You are not allowed to enter the forbidden area of ​​the Grass and Wood Tribe without permission! Do you know what the consequences of entering without permission are?"

Every leaf of the straight green sapling in his hand was wilted with fear. It looked pitiful and dared not move even after being caught.

"Are you so curious about what's in the forbidden area?" Diwu looked a little scary when he was serious. "If there are some ferocious beasts imprisoned in the forbidden area, are you going to be its food if you, a newly grown seedling, go in?"

Although Diwu really wanted Yu Tu to have confidence in their strength, and also wanted to see Cha Shumiaomiao embarrassed, but when this scene really happened, he still couldn't help but get angry.

Forbidden area!

Dangerous places and places where people are forbidden to enter are called forbidden areas. It is impossible for Yu Tu not to know that there are dangers there, but he still sneaked in. It would be fine if the Emperor found out, but what if he didn't? What if the forbidden area really contained ferocious beasts as he had threatened Yu Tu?

Not taking your own safety to heart is the fundamental reason why Diwu is angry.

"Everyone has their own duties and responsibilities." Diwu placed the tea tree seedling on the stone where he had sat before, and said earnestly, "If a bowstring is stretched beyond its load, it will break. This is true for people, no matter how strong or weak they are."

Looking at the drooping tea tree on the stone with its leaves slightly burnt at the edges, Diwu touched its leaves and said, "Did we do something wrong? That's why you are always worried and want to take everything on yourself?"

The tea tree leaves under his palm trembled and then shook slightly, meaning "no".

Life experiences since childhood have taught Yu Tu not to do things outside the rules, as doing so will only bring disaster and misfortune. However, after returning to the Grass and Tree Clan, he was corrupted by the habit.

Relying on the fact that the elders of the Plant Clan all cared about him and loved him, he did such a serious thing as trespassing into the forbidden area without even thinking twice - because he knew that even if he was discovered, there would not be serious consequences.

Only those who are loved can be fearless.

It's not that the clan leader and his men did something wrong, but that they did too well, so well that Yu Tu wants to work harder, so that in the future where danger might happen, the people he cares about can stay as far away from them as possible. It doesn't matter if he works harder, gets more tired, gets hurt, or bleeds a little, as long as those who are good to him and love him are safe.

There are many people who like Buyehou, but only a few love Yu Tu.

Diwu felt that after he finished speaking, the tea tree seedling under his palm seemed to be in even lower mood, and his heart skipped a beat - he had boasted to Yilin before, so Tu Tu wouldn't cry now, right?

He thought he wasn't that fierce!

“Ahem—” Diwu was a little panicked, because the patriarch’s temper became increasingly irritable after his soul was damaged. He tried to soften his tone, “I’m not blaming you.”

The leaves under my palms were faintly emitting moist vapor.

There was only one thought in Diwu's mind—it's over!

When people are in a hurry, they will think of wisdom. The same is true for Shu. Diwu quickly withdrew his hand and cleared his throat: "Tu Tu, there is still a punishment for trespassing into the restricted area. Come here and accept the punishment!"

The wilted tea sapling jumped down from the rock, dragged its roots feebly, and obediently walked to stand in front of him.

Emperor House: "..."

The non-existent conscience aches.

He turned his hand and produced a water mirror that was taller than the tea tree seedlings, and asked Yu Tu Miao to stand in front of the mirror: "I will punish you to watch the whole process again!"

The mirror rippled and a picture gradually emerged, which was the video of Yu Tu going to the forbidden area.

From a third-party perspective, the dangers and obstacles that Yu Tu encountered were full of obvious human traces, and even the path leading to the forbidden area seemed to be deliberately arranged. Yu Tu saw the python that scared him, and the spider web that suddenly appeared and stuck to a leaf, trapping him like a half-stone...

Tea tree Miaomiao, who was about to cry due to guilt, said: "......?"

He jumped forward and looked carefully at the water mirror that was taller than he was.

Half an hour later.

"Hey, hey, hey, Tu Tu, what are you so excited about!" Diwu stretched out his arms, holding a tea seedling that was about to bend 360 degrees in his palm. The leaves and roots of the tea seedling were shaking wildly, and the tea seedling was actually looking like a mad cat. "Watching the process is a punishment! We agreed on this before! Isn't this to make a deep impression on you and teach you a lesson, so that you don't come to such dangerous places in the future?"

"Don't be angry, don't be angry! You look like you're going crazy!" Diwu stretched his arms as far as possible and tilted his face back to avoid being kicked by Yu Tu Miao's waving leaves and kicking roots. "Don't be so angry, don't you think it's fun? It's a surprise adventure in the middle of the night!"

All the guilt, burden and psychological pressure disappeared at this moment. In Yu Tu's eyes, there was only the face of the clan leader who deserved a beating. He would not give up if he could not kick the clan leader today!

*

Late at night on the evening of the party, Yu Tu unilaterally attempted to "beat" the clan leader, and after Gu Hongying was taken back by Kuang Mian, he suffered a strong visual shock.

Gu Hongying was in a daze: "Is this Guixu?!"

"Yes." Kuang Mian turned his head, "What's the problem?"

Gu Hongying continued to be in a daze: "Guixu is actually a huge... City of Pain?!"

Gu Hongying has never been to Guixu. Everything about Guixu comes from his imagination. He thinks Guixu is mysterious, powerful, ancient, connected to the stars, and full of the secrets of the universe. The actual Guixu has all kinds of strangely shaped houses, sculptures of various cartoon characters, signboards painted with cute slogans, and because it is night, there are some dark crawling things whizzing through the streets... It seems that some filter has quietly shattered.

"Why are you all so surprised?" Kuang Mian said, "The little tea tree Miaomiao was also like this when it first came to pay New Year's greetings."

Gu Hongying: “…”

The name Guixu doesn't seem to be related to the second dimension!

"You will live with me for the next three days." Kuang Mian led the way for Gu Hongying. He calmly identified the correct direction among a bunch of signposts that were useless except for their cuteness. "One month before New Year's Day, the layout of Guixu changes every day. If you don't want to walk into some terrible layout, don't go out for these three days."

Gu Hongying was puzzled: "Can these pain houses and signposts have killing power?"

Kuang Mian stopped walking, and Gu Hongying seemed to hear a short laugh coming from under the wide hood: "Don't believe it?"

He said, "Why don't you touch the wall in front of you?"

Gu Hongying looked alert: "I don't—"

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly felt a huge force behind him, forcing Gu Hongying to leave the ground and fly forward. When he was still two centimeters away from the wall in front of him, he successfully controlled his body and stopped rushing forward, but it was too late.

The wall in front was painted pink and had very cute little animals painted on it. But the moment Gu Hongying rushed over, the little animal gave an exaggerated smile, and its open mouth was taller than Gu Hongying himself. If Gu Hongying had not stopped quickly, he would probably have given an intimate greeting to the teeth in its mouth, and then left some greeting gifts.

Cold sweat instantly covered Gu Hongying's forehead. After he had walked away for a long time, he asked with lingering fear, "Is this the style of Guixu?"

The warm fairy tale style turns into a terrifying nightmare in seconds!

“Not really.” Kuang Mian stood there calmly and explained calmly, “You are unlucky. You triggered the basic model, not the hidden one.”

Gu Hongying was silent: "So it was like this the last time Tu Tu came?"

"How is that possible?" Kuang Mian retorted, "It's Chinese New Year, we won't do these hellish things."

Gu Hongying was puzzled: "So it can't be done during the Chinese New Year?!"

As he said this, in the alley in front of them, a pitch-black grass monster came roaring by with its arms raised, whizzing by, sending up grass debris all over the ground. The grass debris lying on the ground bulged up and down as if it had life. In Gu Hongying's horrified sight, the grass debris slowly and automatically pieced together to form tiny scarecrows.

A large number of scarecrows stretched their arms and kicked their legs, then tore off some straw fluff from their bodies to make homemade musical instruments. They first tested the sound, and when they found the tone was authentic, they began to blow and play in all directions. Several of the scarecrows prepared suona instruments, which had a very penetrating and loud sound in the middle of the night. Not long after, the suona sounds were joined by a series of other instruments such as flutes and drums.

"Don't get hung up on such details." With the sound of a big buffet in the background, Kuang Mian earnestly warned Gu Hongying, "Young people should learn to look at the world with tolerance."
