Chapter 321

Langshu had just sent a batch of mutated alien beasts and plants to the special space formed by Jianmu. Before he had time to catch his breath, Diaotang, one of the alien plants he was in charge of, suddenly stopped struggling. The shadow in his eyes gradually disappeared, and the gray color that was spread on his skin like a spider web also faded. The whole tree seemed to wake up.

"Langshu?" Diao Tang blinked, the madness in his eyes began to be replaced by confusion, "Why do you want to tie me up?"

Lang Shu: “???!”

A look of surprise appeared on his warm face: "Are you awake?"

"I was awake the whole time." Diao Tang said, "What you said is very strange."

Langshu did not immediately release Diaotang from his restraints. He asked, "Can you communicate with Jianmu now?"

The abnormal plants are in a confused mental state and cannot communicate with Jianmu.

Diao Tang closed his eyes slightly, and a special wave spread across his body, which was the characteristic of communicating with Jianmu.

Seeing that Diaotang could communicate with Jianmu freely, Langshu breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that he's awake now."

He used his spiritual power to free Diao Tang from his restraints, and then pulled him up from the ground: "Are you feeling unwell somewhere? You are the first tree I have seen that has recovered from this strange disease."

"...Strange disease?" Diao Tang's expression became a little strange, his eyebrows knitted, "Lang Shu, this is not a strange disease, it is a chance given by God."

Diao Tang's eyes were distinctly black and white, but they carried a strange enthusiasm: "Only the exotic beasts and plants chosen by chance are qualified to survive the disaster."

Lang Shu: “……?”

He felt that Diaotang's current situation was very similar to the pyramid scheme brainwashing in Yuchuan's future story—although he didn't know who was brainwashing Diaotang.

Lang Shu let out a long sigh, thinking that Diao Tang had let it go too early: "I think you are not sober now."

"I am more sober now than ever before." Diao Tang's tone was extremely serious. He stared at Lang Shu with a condescending look, "You wouldn't understand if you weren't chosen."

"If you want more of your friends to survive the disaster, you should find a way to let them find this God-given opportunity." Diao Tang said, "Jianmu can't save us."

Lang Shu became more and more convinced that there was something wrong with Diao Tang's brain.

While he was thinking about how to quietly activate the restraint formation for the second time to capture Diao Tang, he was chatting to delay time: "If this is a godsend, then why did you look crazy before and attack indiscriminately?"

"Opportunities need to be integrated. I succeeded, and the abnormality naturally subsided." Diao Tang snorted and laughed, "I know you want to stop me, but you can't stop me—"

Lang Shu suddenly felt a pain in his heart. He lowered his head. Diao Tang's hand turned into sharp branches and leaves that pierced his heart. The branches and leaves absorbed his blood. The severe pain and weakness made Lang Shu's eyes go black.

"You talk too much. It's so annoying." The branches of Diao Tang tumbled on Lang Shu's chest, and the wound became bigger and bigger, gradually forming a huge hole. The blood spurted out and splashed on Diao Tang's face. He actually had a strange excitement in his eyes, "I don't like it. Killing you is like you apologize to me!"

The blood-soaked branches and leaves became more and more unscrupulous, weaving through the flesh and blood. Langshu's breathing became weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared completely. He could no longer maintain his human form. After falling to the ground, he turned into a withered tree with a huge, black hole on it.

Diao Tang stepped on the remains of Lang Shu nonchalantly and released all the alien beasts and plants guarded by Lang Shu from the formation. He slowly left amidst the blood all over the ground.

…

Fenghuang and the others thought that their master had been acting strange recently. First, he went out early and came back late and was rarely seen. Then, he suddenly strengthened the formation around the courtyard and did not allow them to go out.

"Did something happen?" The phoenix hung upside down under the ivy vines. The sunlight filtered through the gaps between the branches and leaves, falling on its glittering feathers. "It's been a while since you came to visit me, senior."

Bai Ze still didn't wake up. The four cubs were forced to become three. Qilin slumped on the stool, like a salted fish without dreams: "With our current level, going out will only cause trouble. It's better not to know anything."

"Qilin is right." Canglong was observing the leaves of the ivy, as if there was some secret hidden in the leaves. "We will only add to the burden of the master."

"I just asked casually———" Feng Huang was speechless, "I didn't mean to sneak out."

The master is very busy, and it has no intention of making trouble.

The three cubs sighed in unison. It was the Nth day since their husband left early and came back late. They missed him.

Perhaps their longing was too strong, the Qilin, who had the best hearing, suddenly heard a knock on the door. It raised its little hooves and ran to the door. There was a special formation next to the door, and they could see the person knocking outside from inside the door.

"Wow!" After the formation was activated, Qilin said happily, "Sir, you're back!"

Just as it was about to open the door, Canglong grabbed its tail with one claw: "Wait a minute."

"Mr. rarely knocks on the door when he comes home." Canglong dragged Qilin back with all his strength, "I feel something is wrong."

"Sometimes, when he wants to create a surprise, he will knock on the door." The phoenix stroked the feather crown on his head with the tip of his wings. "But recently, he has been so busy. I don't think he has time to prepare any surprises, right?"

Qilin was overwhelmed by the familiar face and took a few steps back silently: "Prank?"

Canglong shook his head: "Not really."

The other alien beasts and plants they knew also came and went in a hurry. Everyone seemed very busy. The problem was obviously not solved, but no one had the heart to play.

"He who comes with ill intentions, will not come with good intentions." Phoenix lowered her voice, "Anyway, there are a lot of hidden formations outside the yard, we can capture him quietly!"

The three cubs, who were so idle that their hair was growing fast except for completing their homework, agreed immediately. Qilin cleared his throat and said, "Sir, have you forgotten? The formation at the door is broken. I'll open the back door for you to come in!"

The visitor outside the door, who looked like Yuchuan, didn't take the three innocent cubs seriously at all, and naturally didn't suspect anything. Listening to the silly voices of the cubs coming from the formation, he tried his best to imitate a gentle smile: "Sir, I have been too busy recently and accidentally forgot."

…

"Hey~" Qilin rubbed the dirt off his hooves and said proudly, "You actually dared to look down on us. Now you're in trouble, right?"

"Why did you have to pretend to be Mr. when you could pretend to be someone else?" Phoenix pointed and said, "Can't we tell the real thing from the fake?"

"Master is not that easy to imitate." Canglong added softly, "You are not imitating him at all."

Sometimes when Yuchuan had nothing to do, he would set up various formations outside the courtyard, one to protect their safety, and the other to train them. When Bai Ze was still awake, the four cubs were often confused and frightened by these formations. Year after year, they not only understood these formations, but also learned to use them skillfully.

The imposter that was trapped in the formation trap finally revealed its true appearance, but the three cubs looked at each other in surprise—this tree had definitely never been to their home.

"I understand!" Qilin raised his hoof, "This is just like what is said in the story. The villain wants to kidnap the protagonist's weak points to threaten the protagonist, but our weak points are too smart, so we defeated the villain and achieved the final victory!"

"Don't follow Bai Ze and indulge in stories." Cang Long wanted to block his mouth, "Reality is reality, and stories are stories."

"I think what Qilin said makes sense." Phoenix put on a thoughtful look, "How about we... shake him!"

It also learned a lot of cool words related to the future by listening to stories!

…

When Yuchuan received the message from the Phoenix, his heart skipped a beat. First, he faced the terrible situation at the Dragon Blood Tree, and when he returned to Jianmu, he learned the sad news that Langshu had left. The Phoenix happened to bring news at the moment of thunder and lightning, and Yuchuan almost instantly thought of the worst.

His fingertips were trembling before he read the message, but when he opened the message and heard the energetic voice of the phoenix, his uneasy heart finally settled. It took him a while to figure out the content of the phoenix's message—they used themselves as bait and caught a strange tree.

The Phoenix's message was broadcast outwardly, and the trees around Yuchuan heard it. Combined with the Phoenix's description, the tree they caught should be the oak that escaped from the Dragon Blood Tree.

After Lang Shu got into trouble, they held back their grief and tried to reconstruct everything that happened at that time. Some of the trees who watched the flashback were familiar with Diao Tang and found it hard to believe that the Diao Tang presented in the magic was himself - Diao Tang was quiet, even a little shy, so how could he kill his own people like this?

In the retrospective technique, Diao Tang mentioned "God-given opportunities" just like Yan Mu, and also said "only the exotic beasts and plants chosen by chance are qualified to survive the disaster." These abnormal plants and beasts seem to have the same secret.

Now the youngsters of the Tamagawa family have caught Yuuki, who definitely knows the truth. This may be a breakthrough.

They went to see Yenmu.

Judging from his appearance alone, Yumu is extremely normal. It is hard to believe that he had attacked the dragon blood tree before and found the place where Yuchuan lived with ulterior motives in order to trick the remaining cubs into opening the door.

Sanzhushu and Langshu had always had a good relationship. Upon learning that Langshu had left in such a tragic way, Sanzhushu's eyes were red. He rushed forward and grabbed Yinmu's collar: "Tell me! What exactly is this God-given opportunity!"

"Aren't you experiencing it?" Perhaps it was his red eyes and a bit evil expression that made Yinmu misunderstand something, "Didn't I tell you everything in my dream some time ago?"

His expression became a little fanatical: "That was a prophetic dream!"

It seemed that the transformation was a great honor. Without them asking too much, he said it himself: "Because we were born between heaven and earth, the cycle of life and death consumes too much spiritual energy. It is difficult for the heaven to continue, so it wants to destroy us. Don't you have such a dream?!"

"You don't think this is just an insignificant dream, do you?" He looked around at the plants and trees one by one and laughed strangely, "We are enlightened and live well in our original forms, why did we suddenly change into human form? Have you never thought about this?"

He pried open the hand of the Three-Pearl Tree and said, "Let me tell you, the form we have transformed into is called 'human', and it is also the race chosen by the Heavenly Dao after us!"

"Whether we are alien plants or alien beasts, our growth requires a large amount of spiritual energy. The spiritual energy between heaven and earth is becoming increasingly scarce. In order to save itself, the Heavenly Dao has decided to destroy us, the creatures that are becoming an increasing burden to the Heavenly Dao, and create a new race. Our transformation is an experiment of the Heavenly Dao!"

The tree laughed crazily: "We will become weaker and weaker, and new plants and trees will have a hard time giving birth to consciousness. The living creatures that survive will become food for the prosperity of the new species. Why? Why?!"

"Since the life force in the dark has told us in the form of a prophetic dream, we must seize this opportunity!" His voice was extremely inspiring. "We can also transform, and our lives are longer than those of 'humans'. Why can't we replace them?"

Sanzhushu stood opposite to the 涼wood. He gritted his teeth and said, "The decline caused by the lack of spiritual energy is inevitable. The birth of new species is the self-regulation of heaven and earth. The current situation has nothing to do with them!"

"I just want to live, what's wrong with me?" Yumu sneered, "You want to die, but I don't!"

He took a few steps back, his eyes fixed on the silent Yuchuan, like a venomous snake:

"Your talent is a chess game of heaven, and you are heaven's lackey! You talk about the future, which makes everyone yearn for the future and the new race. So when the prophetic dream appears, they forget about it and don't care. Otherwise, how could you be so special? You can transform at a young age, but you don't know how to communicate with Jianmu. You are ignorant about the past but have a deep understanding of the future——"

"That's enough." Fuso suddenly interrupted Yumu's words, her face was colder than ever before, "You were the one who was disturbed by the dream and had a mental disorder. What does it have to do with Yuchuan!"

"You want to replace the new race, but have you ever thought that this might also be part of the disaster?!"

"No, Impossible!" Yinmu said word by word, "Predicting dreams is the only chance of survival. If you don't believe it, then there is naturally no chance!"

"Everyone who stands in my way is an enemy," said Yuki. "I will kill you all. I am right."
