As soon as she stepped into the depths of the back mountain, Luo Qian felt like she had entered another world. Towering ancient trees blocked out the sun, and sunlight filtered through the gaps between branches, casting dappled spots of light, as if someone had overturned a box of stars. The surrounding plants were taller, more lush, and even...more bizarre than those outside.
"This place is a bit weird," Lu Ye's voice broke the silence. His peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly as he surveyed the surroundings, a hint of caution in his tone.
Luo Qian also sensed that the plants here seemed to be more than just "alive." The aura of life they exuded was so rich it seemed to be tangible, even... causing her wood-type abilities to stir, as if wanting to merge with the surrounding plants.
"Be careful." Kyle's voice was low and hoarse, as if squeezed from the depths of his throat. "The plants here might not be very friendly."
As soon as he finished speaking, a thick vine, like a poisonous snake, suddenly sprang out from an ancient tree and attacked Luo Xi.
"Xixi, be careful!" Lu Ye exclaimed, and flashed in front of Luo Xi.
He waved his hands, and a ball of golden flame instantly condensed and swept towards the vine.
"Fuck-"
The flames collided with the vines, making a sharp sound. The vines, surprisingly, were not burned, but only paused slightly before wrapping around Lu Ye even more frantically.
"What the hell is this thing?" Lu Ye was a little surprised. His flame was a fusion of three supernatural powers and was incredibly powerful, but it couldn't burn a vine?
He didn't dare to be careless and quickly dodged. The vines, like maggots attached to his bones, pursued him relentlessly.
"I'll do it!" A mysterious voice sounded beside him.
He formed seals with his hands, and an invisible mental force instantly enveloped the vine.
"Certainly!"
Xuanqi shouted softly, and the vine actually stopped, as if it had been cast under a spell of immobilization.
"Good opportunity!" A gleam of light flashed in Lu Ye's eyes, and he condensed a ball of fire again. This time, he compressed the flame into a tiny fire needle and shot it towards the root of the vine.
"Pfft!"
The fire needle pierced the root of the vine accurately, and a burnt smell instantly spread.
"Ow—"
The vine let out a sharp scream and began to twist wildly as if it were a living thing.
"It works!" Lu Ye was delighted. He was about to make further efforts to completely get rid of this vine.
Suddenly, the surrounding plants, as if stimulated by something, all began to dance wildly.
Countless vines and branches came from all directions, like a huge net, surrounding them.
"This... has this stirred up a hornet's nest?" Lu Ye was a little dumbfounded. It was the first time he saw so many plants attacking them at the same time.
"Don't just stand there, think of a solution quickly!" Rosie's voice was a little anxious.
Although she is a ninth-level wood-type mutant, she is still somewhat overwhelmed when faced with so many crazy plants.
"Let me try." Xuanqi's voice sounded again.
He closed his eyes, formed seals with his hands again, and an even more powerful mental force burst out from him.
"communicate!"
Xuanqi shouted softly, and his mental power surged towards the surrounding plants like a tide.
He tried to communicate with the plants and soothe their emotions.
However, this time, his mental power seemed to have hit a wall and could not penetrate at all.
"No..." Xuanqi's face turned pale. "These plants seem to be controlled by something."
"Controlled?" Luo Xi was shocked. She thought of the dark energy in Xingyu's body. Could it be... that these plants are also related to the dark energy?
Kyle remained silent, quietly observing his surroundings, as if looking for something.
Suddenly, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
"follow me!"
He said in a deep voice, and took the lead to walk in one direction.
Luo Xi, Lu Ye and Xuan Qi hurriedly followed.
Kyle led them through the dense woods.
The surrounding plants were still attacking them frantically, but they were all easily resolved by Kyle.
The black energy in his hands was like the nemesis of these plants. Every time he attacked, the plants would wither instantly.
Rosie looked at Kyle's back, her heart full of doubts.
Kyle seemed to be very familiar with this place. How did he know this road?
Moreover, what exactly is the black energy in his hand? Why does it have such a strong inhibitory effect on these plants?
Rosie's mind was full of questions, but she didn't ask them.
She believed that Kyle would give her an explanation.
They followed Kyle and continued on their way.
There are fewer and fewer plants around, and the breath of life in the air is becoming stronger and stronger.
Luo Xi felt that her wood-based abilities became more active and powerful here.
She could even clearly feel the vitality and emotions of the surrounding plants.
Those plants seemed to be afraid of Kyle.
When Kyle approaches, they will actively retreat and dare not get close.
"What is going on?" Luo Qian became more and more confused.
Finally, they came to an open space.
In the center of the clearing, there is a huge ancient tree.
That ancient tree is taller and thicker than the surrounding trees.
Its trunk requires dozens of people to hug together, and its crown blocks out the sun like a giant umbrella.
Luo Xi felt a powerful vitality emanating from the ancient tree.
That vitality was stronger and purer than anything she had felt before.
"Is this... the center of this forest?" Luo Qian couldn't help but ask.
Kyle didn't answer. He just looked at the ancient tree quietly, as if thinking about something.
Suddenly, the ancient tree began to tremble violently.
"What's going on?" Rosie blinked, a little confused.
Could this tree spirit have become a spirit?
Xuanqi's voice, with a barely perceptible tremor, rang in his ears, like the wind rustling through a bamboo forest: "It seems to be afraid."
Scared?
Rosie was even more confused.
What can a tree be afraid of?
She tilted her head and looked at the trembling ancient tree as if she was looking at a timid child.
"What is it afraid of?" Luo Xi asked softly, her voice soft and tender, as if she was acting coquettishly.
Xuanqi slowly opened his eyes, and a complex emotion flashed in his amber eyes.
He looked at Kyle and said in a low voice, as if coming from far away: "It's Kyle."
"It's scared of Kyle."
