Quick Transmigration: Passerby A Gets Entangled with the Male Lead

He then turned to his bodyguard behind him and solemnly instructed, "From now on, your primary task is to ensure her safety."

Upon hearing this, the bodyguard nodded solemnly in response.

This made He Zhiyao secretly grumble to herself:

Oh dear, is this bodyguard mute after all? She's been with them for so long, and she's never heard him utter a single word! It's really strange.

"No need, I can definitely protect myself!" He Zhiyao shook her head vigorously as soon as she heard that she was to be protected.

This won't do. Wen Jiancheng is of utmost importance. Otherwise, what would have been the point of her going through all that trouble to be teleported here?

"Listen to me, or I'll get distracted." Wen Jiancheng's clear voice came like a babbling brook, seemingly containing a trace of irresistible magic.

"Alright! Alright!" He Zhiyao pouted helplessly, thinking to herself: Since that's the case, then she can only keep a close eye on Wen Jiancheng and try her best to protect him.

As soon as they finished speaking, the three of them stepped into the deep, dense forest from the roadside halfway up the mountain.

Even before you actually enter this forest, you can hear the cheerful chirping of various birds and the chirping of insects, all intertwined together, like a natural symphony.

Standing by the roadside, they could still catch some faint sounds, but as they walked deeper into the area, the surroundings gradually became completely silent, a stillness that even made them feel somewhat uneasy.

At this moment, Wen Jiancheng's usual gentle smile had vanished, replaced by an unusually serious expression.

His sharp, hawk-like eyes scanned every blade of grass and tree around him warily, as if no movement could escape his notice.

Meanwhile, the bodyguard beside him was on high alert, staring intently at the surrounding movements, not daring to relax for a moment.

Only He Zhiyao was different; she seemed to be strolling in her own backyard, appearing exceptionally relaxed and at ease. She leisurely enjoyed the beautiful scenery along the way.

Sure enough! The air here is so much fresher and smells so much better than outside. Every breath you take makes you feel that the air here is better than outside.

In the deepest part of that dense and secluded forest, the lush vines, like living snakes, are quietly and slowly extending outwards.

Just then, Wen Jiancheng, who had been focused on walking forward, suddenly stopped without warning. He looked around warily, his gaze finally settling on the vines that were casually clinging to the ground.

He slowly squatted down, drew a sharp dagger from his waist, and carefully made a thin cut on one of the vines.

Then, he took out a transparent glass bottle and collected every drop of the juice flowing from the mouth into it.

Wen Jiancheng stared intently at the bottle in his hand, observing the wondrous chemical reaction taking place inside. As time passed, the liquid in the bottle gradually and completely merged with the juice, turning into a dark green liquid.

Seeing this, Wen Jiancheng's tense face finally relaxed slightly, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up, revealing a faint smile—he had searched for a long time and finally found it.

It turns out that he had been searching for a gene sample with strong regenerative capabilities, as this was crucial for studying the zombie virus.

To this end, he searched far and wide for plant and animal genes with regeneration and reproductive capabilities, but he was never able to obtain satisfactory results.

The regenerative abilities contained within these seemingly ordinary vines are truly astonishing.

The torn vine remained completely still, lying there silently like a dead object.

Meanwhile, the other vines around them continued to stretch out unnoticed, like a green curtain, gradually enveloping the two of them...

At this moment, Wen Jiancheng was completely focused on the results he had just achieved and was oblivious to the potential dangers around him.

He Zhiyao, who was beside him, felt the surge of wood-type supernatural power.

Her gaze was sharp as she surveyed her surroundings, glancing eastwards and then turning to look westwards, seemingly casually, but actually sensing the world around her.

Although the bodyguard was strong and robust, he did not possess any special abilities. At this moment, an indescribable sense of unease welled up within him, making him feel extremely uneasy.

He couldn't pinpoint exactly what went wrong, and this vague feeling made him increasingly anxious.

If he were alone in this place, he might have already chosen to flee this strange place without hesitation when the initial vague sense of unease first appeared.

But the reality was that his boss was there, and his remaining professional ethics allowed him to suppress his inner turmoil.

"Boss, something's not right here." The bodyguard looked nervous and hurriedly approached Wen Jiancheng, whispering.

Hearing this, He Zhiyao looked at the bodyguard with some surprise. It turned out that he had also noticed.

And, surprisingly, he's not mute!

Wen Jiancheng immediately realized the seriousness of the situation. Without saying a word, he reached out and grabbed He Zhiyao tightly, then turned around and prepared to leave quickly.

But just as they took their first step, the vines that had been quiet and seemingly asleep suddenly seemed to be awakened and began to dance wildly at an astonishing speed.

In the blink of an eye, the vines that had been growing independently seemed to be driven by some mysterious force, and began to frantically intertwine and entwine. They wove together at an astonishing speed into a huge and tight net, completely blocking the path without leaving a single gap. He Zhiyao, Wen Jiancheng, and the bodyguard were thus trapped in this cage made of vines.

At this moment, the three men's faces turned extremely grave, and an atmosphere of despair permeated the air. Without a miracle, they would undoubtedly all perish here.

Faced with this predicament, Wen Jiancheng immediately unleashed his special ability. He moved his hands, and an invisible energy surged from his body, acting on the ever-spreading vines. A miraculous scene unfolded: the vines' growth rate visibly slowed instantly, as if by magic.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the agile bodyguard drew his sharp longsword without hesitation and slashed fiercely at the vines before him. Each strike severed several thick vines, creating a narrow passage with a series of cracking sounds. However, before the passage could be fully opened, the vines hidden in the shadows sensed that their prey was about to escape.

This vine-like entity, possessing an intelligence roughly equivalent to a six-year-old human, had experienced the benefits of capturing similar prey before, and was now determined to keep these three people at all costs. Therefore, it mobilized all the vines from its other parts of its body, surging towards them like a tidal wave, attempting to block their path again.

Seeing that the situation was not good, He Zhiyao hurriedly activated her wood-type ability to make contact with the vines.

Surprisingly, this trick worked! The vines in front of them suddenly became as docile as tamed wild beasts, obediently lying motionless on the ground.

But at the same time, more vines are rapidly approaching from all directions...

As the number of vines continued to increase, He Zhiyao's energy consumption increased exponentially. Her originally rosy face was instantly replaced by paleness, as if her life force was rapidly draining from her body.

Controlling each vine required her to expend a great deal of her supernatural power, and at this moment, the pressure had far exceeded her limit.

Upon seeing this scene, Wen Jiancheng felt a pang of anxiety.
