"Why are you chasing me, you bastard? I have no enmity with you. Get out of here, otherwise I will be rude to you."
Angry sounds came from the dense forest, and a tree shining with white light was running away crazily.
Behind him, a furry tiger, with its four short legs showing the afterimage, was about to catch up with it in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this scene, the trees were so frightened that they immediately released a "squeaking" electric current from the leaves, hitting the little tiger chasing them.
"Sizzling"
"Sizzling"
The electric current fell on the little tiger, making the little tiger look extremely pale.
But in the next second, the current disappeared.
"Ouch~ (Is this old tree of yours a lightning-struck tree? How can it still discharge electricity? If you put it more, put it more, I feel like I will use electricity.)" Cheng Hao, who was electrocuted, muttered, and there was a surge of electricity in his mouth. There was a rustling sound of electricity.
No matter how much this old tree that discharges electricity struggles, it will be in vain. Even if Jesus comes today, it is impossible to save it.
It can be discharged and is still a king tree.
It helps me do electrotherapy exercises, and at the same time I can bring back a tree heart for my little sister.
There are not many old trees that are so helpful.
"You bastard, stop it quickly..."
Seeing that his attack had not achieved any results, the old tree screamed like this again. The other party used some strange means to directly erase his own things. It had never seen anything so outrageous. things.
Why are you so unlucky today? Obviously I have never done anything. Who can come to save the heaven and the earth?
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa~ (I'll stop if you tell me to stop, so why don't I lose face? If you, an old tree, know the truth, just hand over the heart of the tree.)" Cheng Haoda was chasing after him. He shouted, indicating that he would not stop unless the other party took out the tree first.
"If I give you the heart of the tree, wouldn't I die? Do you think I'm a fool?" When the tree heard this, he cursed and continued running.
Ask him to hand over the heart of the tree honestly. The other party can really say this. If he hands over the heart of the tree, doesn't that mean he is handing over his life?
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" (Give me the heart of the tree and I will let you go. Otherwise, if I do it myself, you will not end up well.)"
If the other party honestly handed over the tree heart to him, he would still be alive, but at most his strength would be greatly reduced.
But if he didn't give him the heart of the tree, he would skin him alive.
"Even if I hand over the heart of the tree to you, you won't let me go. Don't think I'm stupid." After hearing this, the big tree said and continued running with its head down.
Originally, he couldn't outrun the other party, but if he gave the tree heart to the other party, wouldn't he be at the mercy of others? He would be such a fool, and his life should always be in his own hands.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah" Don't blame him for being cruel and evil.
Thinking of this, Cheng Hao's feet suddenly accelerated a lot.
In less than a blink of an eye, it bit the big tree.
"Don't come here..."
The bitten tree trembled all over, and a desperate sound came out.
The white light all over his body dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In less than a moment, he stumbled and fell heavily to the ground.
"Let me go, please let me go, okay? Please let me live, I want to live, I want to live."
Dashu, who was lying on the ground feeling the loss of body strength, said, his heart filled with despair.
He is an ordinary tree in the forest, no taller or taller than other trees.
You are not strong, you just have to live long enough.
And when it was more than 1,700 years old, it was struck by lightning.
The lightning directly penetrated its entire trunk, but fortunately it did not kill it.
It only left a wound on its body, but since a ray of light shone on him more than half a year ago, it has discovered that the wound struck by lightning has changed slightly, and it seems to have become one with the lightning.
From then on, I could use the power of thunder and lightning. I originally thought that I could soar into the sky and no longer be afraid of any enemies, but I didn't expect that I would be taught a hard lesson today.
An inconspicuous little tiger found him and taught him a lesson in a very strange way. No matter how hard he fought, he could never be his opponent, and now he was about to be finished.
"Ouch~ (I'm not planning to kill you, what are you yelling about?)"
Cheng Hao, who was digging out the heart of the tree, was speechless. What on earth was this guy talking about? He just wants the other person's heart, and has no intention of killing him. Is he so scared?
"You...you really won't kill me?" Dashu said in disbelief after hearing this.
The opponent knocked him down, but only took the heart of the tree without killing it?
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa another another, a tiger always means what he says. Hurry and dig the roots into the soil, otherwise if you kill yourself, it is none of my business." Excerpt Cheng Hao, who was fascinated by the tree, asked: Why is this stupid tree so stupid? He said he wouldn't kill him unless he was killed.
After all, he has eradicated too many of these tree kings in a haphazard way. Isn't this very detrimental to the forest? Without stable tree heart production, how can he become stronger?
He also discovered that these trees would not die on the spot after their cores were dug out.
As long as their root system is intact, they can grow again. This is a giant leek that cannot be cut off.
If he could not kill these tree kings, of course he would kill them all. This would eliminate his own escape route.
"You...why did you let me go?" The tree king, whose roots penetrated into the earth and was absorbing nutrients like crazy, asked in confusion.
The other party actually only really wanted to take the heart of the tree, not his life.
So, what is the purpose of the other party doing this?
"Ouch~ (Of course I can't hurt life. After all, it's not easy for you to grow up like you.)" Cheng Hao said perfunctorily, curling his tail around the heart of the tree, looking around and saying, "Aow~ (You Do you know where there is a tree king like you around here? I need tree heart to save people.)"
"You...you still want to have a tree heart?" After hearing this, the big tree was excited and said: "Although you let me go, there is no way that I will betray other tree kings. You must give up this heart."
"Aoao~ (You treat them as brothers, they may not accept your kindness.)" Cheng Hao walked into the big tree, knocked on the trunk of the big tree and said: "Aoao~ (Look at what you are like now) It looks like a king tree that has just been hollowed out.)"
"Ouch~ (Do you know how attractive you are to other beast kings? Believe it or not, if they knew the news, they would be eager to come over and devour you right away?)"
"Ouch~ (After I help you take out the heart of these guys, you will be on the same starting line, and no one can do anything to anyone else.)"
Don't think that there is no competition among evolutionary plants. These plants are similar to animals. They will try their best to devour each other whenever they have the opportunity.
This old tree is so weak now. Even though the heart of the tree is no longer there, it is still a piece of fat that exudes an alluring aroma.
Other tree kings would drool when they saw it.
By then, this old tree will never meet a hunter as good as him, and those tree kings will swallow him even to his dregs.
"This..." After hearing this, the old tree hesitated for a while, then pointed two strong vertical crosses in two directions and said: "There are two guys like me in that place, but remember not to say yes. I told you."
Although it is shameful to betray the same kind, he does not want to
He has become the guy who is turned into nourishment in the other person's mouth.
"Aww~ (Don't worry, I won't betray you. Believe me, those two guys will become like you soon, and you will be able to live in harmony again.)" Cheng Hao said, then moved toward He ran in the direction pointed by the old tree.
"Am I doing the right thing or the wrong thing?" After watching the round figure leave, the old tree couldn't help but fall into the city.
But then he put aside the distracting thoughts in his heart. Everything he did was for himself to live well. If things were really like what the other party said, then wouldn't he be in danger? So what he did was not Anything wrong.
As the saying goes, if the tree is not for oneself, it will be destroyed by heaven and earth.
——
"Sister Hong'er, are you feeling better? I'm here to order Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup."
Outside the isolation ward, Sun Xiaoyi pushed the cart and knocked on the door.
By the way, he kicked Xiaohua who was close to him, telling her to stay away and not come so close.
You know, being parasitized is very troublesome, but this little flower keeps coming over.
"I'm already well. Nothing much happens. Come in." Sister Hong'er, who was sitting in the room, said with a smile.
She has used ultraviolet light and anti-virus water to clean the room again. Now there should be no hiding place for these hyphae, and Xiaoyi and Xiaohua can also come in.
"Um, Sister Hong'er, are you sure? You're not teasing me again, are you?" Sun Xiaoyi asked weakly after hearing this, isn't Sister Hong'er making fun of her? What if she went in? He will also turn into a deer man the next morning.
"Why am I teasing you when I have nothing to do? Come in, it's really okay." Sister Hong'er in the ward said with a smile, and stretched out her hand to open the door of the room:
"Xiao Ju came here just now and helped me get rid of all the mushrooms on my body. I have healed now and will be fine."
"Really! Sister, you look a lot worse, and all the mushrooms are gone."
Sun Xiaoyi said in surprise when she saw the door open. Sister Hong'er is actually really well.
"Yes, why did I lie to you when I had nothing to do? Look at what you look like." Sister Hong'er said with a smile, pulling Sun Xiaoyi in and walked in.
Sun Xiaoyi was pulled to look at the empty room, and said curiously: "Sister, didn't you say that Xiaoju is here? Why haven't you seen him? Where did he go?"
Xiaoju usually clings to her sister like a piece of brown candy, but why can’t she see the tiger now?
"After Xiaoju helped me get rid of the mushrooms on my body, he said he was going to get me some nutrition. I don't know what tricks he wanted to play?" Sister Hong'er said, reaching out to touch Xiaohua's head: "Xiaohua, you I haven’t seen Xiao Ju for a long time, do you miss Xiao Ju?”
"Ouch~ (I don't want the big bad guy.)" Xiaohua shook her head when she was asked. What did the big bad guy who often robbed other people's food want him to do? Thinking about him makes me angry. .
"Okay, okay, it seems that our little flower still has a temper." Sister Hong'er heard this and rubbed Xiaohua's head and said, hugging her and placing her on her lap: "Well, Xiaohua, you have been growing very fast recently. It weighs more than a hundred pounds now, right?"
"To be precise, it's one hundred and ten pounds." Sun Xiaoyi on the side handed the bowl to Sister Hong'er and said, "The scale was just put on today."
"Really? It's as heavy as half a small orange now." Sister Hong'er said with a smile, putting the bowl in front of Xiaohua: "Xiaohua, do you want to eat this?"
"Ouch~ (I'm a ferocious tiger, so I won't eat this. I want to eat meat, delicious meat.)" Looking at the white fungus soup in the plate, Xiaohua shook her head and replied.
She is a tiger, she only likes meat. How could one like to eat this kind of thing?
"Really? Then Xiaohua, you are more like a tiger, but Xiaoju is here. I'm afraid he will have to eat them all." After hearing this, Sister Hong'er said with a smile and touched Xiaohua's head.
"Xiaoyi, why did you run in? Come out quickly. There is an isolation ward inside. You can't go in. It will be bad if you get infected."
While the two were talking, the commander's deafening voice came from the door.
He looked at the two people and the cat sitting in the ward, his pupils dilated.
Xiao Hong was parasitized by mycelium, and he already felt very guilty. If Xiao Yi was also parasitized due to his poor supervision, then he would really have no shame to see the consultant.
"It's okay, Commander." Sun Xiaoyi waved her hand and said.
Sister Hong'er is fine now, so why should she worry? Besides, even if it is really parasitized by mycelium, isn't there still Xiao Ju? Xiaoju can help her treat it.
"What do you mean it's okay? The matter is serious. I know that you two are sisters. But you can't joke about this kind of thing." Seeing Sun Xiaoyi's appearance of not intending to come out, the commander took a deep breath and said.
He planned to go in personally and sneak her out.
But as soon as he entered the ward, he discovered something was wrong.
"Xiao...Xiao Hong, are you okay?" Looking at Sister Hong'er who had no mushrooms on her body and had a rosy face under the light, the commander couldn't help but said in surprise.
Is the other party okay? Is he right? Is the doctor's treatment plan effective?
"Yes, Commander." Sister Hong'er nodded and said, then looked at the Commander's shocked look and asked:
"Didn't you, Commander, let Xiao Ju in?"
"I...did I let Xiao Ju come in?" The commander was a little confused when he heard this: "Xiao Ju came in before? No, when did Xiao Ju come?"
Xiaoju has been here? No one told him, and he didn't even know.
"Just two hours ago, Xiao Ju ran over and helped me get rid of the mushrooms on my body, and then asked to get me some nutrition."
"I thought Commander, you had discussed this with the director, didn't you?" Sister Hong'er asked after passing by.
Didn’t you know about this when you returned to customs? How did Sister Hong'er run into the ward so openly? He always thought it was the commander and the garden director who had agreed.
"How is this possible? Xiaohong, you said not to let Xiaoju know, I didn't let anyone tell him at all." The commander said, took out the phone from his pocket, and called the person on duty in the control room Telephone.
"Commander, please give instructions."
The team member on duty in the monitoring room heard the phone ringing and immediately replied after answering the call.
"Let me ask you, did you spot Little Fat Orange on the surveillance camera two hours ago?"
"He came in through the main entrance and went all the way to the intensive care unit. The surveillance cameras along the way should have captured him, right?" the commander asked.
"Um, Commander, are you mistaken? I haven't seen even a fly since two hours ago." The team member who heard this said with a confused look on his face.
What little fat orange? He didn't even see Fat Orange.
He was watching the surveillance here and almost fell asleep.
If a little tiger appeared, how could he not know about it?
"This is absolutely impossible. Now turn back the surveillance camera and watch it again carefully. You won't fall asleep again while watching the surveillance camera, right?" the commander said.
Since Xiao Hong said, if Little Fat Orange is here, then he will definitely come. Most of the team members in the monitoring room are asleep.
"No, no. Absolutely not, Commander." The team member on the other end of the phone said quickly after hearing this.
"How did that little fat orange get in? Can he still fly in?" the commander said angrily: "Be more careful when you work, don't be lazy, or I will find out next time If so, punishment is inevitable.”
"Yes, yes, yes." The team member on the other end of the phone nodded and said. Although he was wronged, what could be done? Can you still fight against the commander?
"Okay, don't be lazy. This is the first time." The commander said and hung up the phone.
The team members in the monitoring room were left with aggrieved expressions on their faces. He still has not figured out when Little Fatty Orange came in? It was obvious that he had been staring at the screen.
"Uh, Xiaoju is really not the one who let him come here, Commander, so he couldn't have come here on his own, right?" Sun Xiaoyi said with some surprise after hearing this. According to the commander's training and monitoring, he looked like a member of the team, as if I really don’t know about little fat Juju.
"It's possible, let me call and ask the consultant." The commander said, and dialed the phone again.
After a while, the director's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"What's the matter, Mr. Commander? You called me so late at night. Has the special medicine arrived?"
In the dormitory of Hongta Mountain Siberian Tiger Forest Park, the director leaned against the wall and asked.
"Well, the special medicine hasn't arrived yet." The commander was stunned when he heard this and said, "Mr. Consultant, didn't you send Xiao Ju over to help Xiao Hong deal with the mycelium?"
"Of course not, I promised Xiaohong not to tell Xiaoju." The principal who sat down with you said, suddenly thinking of something, he opened his mouth in shock: "Wait a minute, you said Xiaoju helped Xiaohong deal with it. Mycelium? Has he gone to the department?"
"Yes, I came here two hours ago. Then I ran to get nutrition for Xiao Hong. If nothing else happens, I will come back later." The commander nodded and said, "I thought Xiao Hong Tachibana was sent here by you, Mr. Consultant, but it doesn’t seem to be the case now.”
From the consultant's surprised look, it can be seen that it is not much less than when he just found out that Xiao Ju came over.
"I knew I couldn't hide it from this little clever guy. Xiao Ju, this little bad guy, has been to the department more than once or twice. It makes sense that he can go there by himself." The principal sighed, and then continued: " By the way, how is Xiao Hong’s condition? Have all the mycelium been dealt with?”
"Yes, everything has been dealt with normally, and my complexion has improved a lot."
"But just to be on the safe side, it's better to check it out." The commander said, worried that it might just look good on the surface, but there are still mycelium hidden inside the body.
"Well, then you should take Xiaohong to check again."
"As for Xiao Ju, you don't have to worry about him. He is very smart. Since he went there secretly, he must not have wanted us to know," the director said.
"I understand this, but there is something I don't know whether I should ask about?" the commander said with a slight hesitation.
"Commander, you must be talking about Xiaoju's abilities, right?" Upon hearing this, the director quickly guessed what the other party wanted to say.
Now that the other party knows that Xiao Ju can handle mycelium, they will definitely be curious about Xiao Ju's ability.
The commander nodded his head when he heard this and said:
"Yes, I always thought that Xiaoju was a brain-evolving animal, but recently I discovered that I was quite wrong."
"Recently, I saw information about Xiaoju's ability to grow in size. I thought he had the ability to change his body size, but now I seem to be wrong again."
Initially he thought he saw it clearly, but it turned out that he didn't. Then he saw it a little more clearly, but then he was wrong again.
This was the first time that he made mistakes over and over again.
"Xiao Ju's ability is very simple. If you usually see him wolfing down food, you should be able to guess it." After hearing this, the director smiled and said, "His ability is absorption. The reason why he is better than others." The tiger is stronger and stronger because it can absorb more nutrients."
"Similarly, these hyphae are also nutrients in Xiao Ju's view. So after he absorbs all the nutrients from these hyphae, these hyphae lose their life."
"Is that so? But now most people's abilities can only be used on themselves, right? Isn't Xiaoju's ability a bit too strong?" The commander said with some surprise after hearing this. He never expected Xiaoju It's actually this ability.
But at the same time, new questions arose, because as far as he knew, an ability like this should only work on himself.
How could Xiaoju absorb the mycelium from other people's bodies without harming them?
"This involves the second stage of evolution." The director explained with a smile: "I
Remember I told you about the conjecture about the three stages of evolution, right? "
"Of course I remember. I remember what you said, Mr. Consultant, that the first stage of evolution is to generate abilities and be able to use them familiarly, the second stage is to develop abilities, and the third stage is that abilities can affect things around you. "The commander said, his face changed slightly: "Mr. Consultant, you are not saying that Xiaoju has reached the third stage, are you?"
After hearing this, the director shook his head and said:
"Of course not. Xiaoju is now in the second stage, which is the stage of releasing her abilities."
"If Xiaoju really reaches the third stage, you should know what kind of existence it is."
"I know, that's a god." The commander nodded seriously. The only ones who can change the characteristics of surrounding things and affect the surrounding environment are the legendary gods.
"So, Xiao Ju has definitely not reached the second stage, but Xiao Ju's use of abilities is definitely not comparable to yours." The director held the phone and said with a smile:
"The reason why he can change his body shape is because he can absorb air and change the size of his body. This time he entered the department without being discovered by you, probably because of his ability."
"You probably didn't notice Xiaoju's arrival, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have called me at this time."
"Yes." After hearing this, the commander said with a wry smile: "What if I hadn't come here to check the ward? I don't know about this kind of thing at all. Xiaoju is simply uninhabited in our department."
Originally he thought it was because he was watching the surveillance and the team members were asleep so Xiaoju didn't get sent, but now it seems that's not the case.
Xiao Ju has mastered and developed her abilities a little too well. I don’t know how Xiao Ju managed to avoid so many cameras.
"That's why I asked you to be careful. Although Xiao Ju is a little tiger, he is a genius."
"I have never seen an evolved creature that can develop abilities to this extent in just a few months." The director sighed, what if there were geniuses in this world? Then Xiaoju must be one of them.
"You can see it." The commander said with a wry smile. If he could develop his abilities to this extent in less than one year old, if this is not considered a genius, then how can he be considered a genius?
"Tread"
"Tread"
Just as he finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps coming from around him, which quickly attracted his attention.
"Huh? Is someone coming outside? But I don't seem to see anything." Sun Xiaoyi looked around curiously and said, the sound was obviously nearby, why couldn't she see it?
"Xiao Ju, you little scoundrel sneaked in and didn't reveal yourself. What did you want to do? Did you want to attack my sister?"
After hearing this, Sister Hong'er spoke.
"Ouch~ (Sister, you are so smart. You have discovered all this. I am back.)"
As Sister Hong'er finished speaking, a tiger's voice came from the ward.
"Where is it?" The commander heard the words and looked along the voice, trying to see where Cheng Hao was hiding?
But when he looked left and right, he saw nothing, and his eyes couldn't help but reveal a look of horror.
He didn't know how Xiaoju managed to become invisible like this? But there is no doubt that Xiaoju can not only deceive the human eye.
Even electronic devices can be deceived, which is why they didn't find out.
Just as the commander was looking around, a round figure appeared next to Sister Hong'er.
The commander who saw this scene was even more shocked. How could this be possible? The voice was clearly next to him just now, but how could it appear there in the blink of an eye?
And he didn't even feel the airflow around him.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" (Sister, what are you eating here?)" Cheng Hao asked curiously with his head tilted, with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.
Staring at Sister Hong'er's empty bowl, trying to find any clues.
"What happened to my sister who just drank Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup? Do you want to drink it?" Sister Hong'er knocked angrily, and Cheng Hao said with his big round head: "You little rascal said you were going to get nutritional supplements for your sister. How are you going to get them?" How long has it been?"
"Ouch~ (There is no way, those nutritional supplements are not very cooperative, so I spent a little effort.)"
Cheng Hao said, lifting his tail that was hanging low.
Three rolled green solids like hearts were revealed.
"Is this? Tree Heart?" Sun Xiaoyi on the side couldn't help but be surprised when she saw this scene.
He rubbed his eyes in shock. Is this the shaping that the commander mentioned? Where did Little Fat Orange take out three of them?
"Aoao~ (You have some knowledge.)" Cheng Hao glanced at Sun Xiaoyi, then continued to focus on Sister Hong'er: "Aoao~ (Come on, sister, take these three to replenish your body first, wait for me Are you going to see where there are many old trees tomorrow? I’ll go over there and get more for you. I’m in a hurry tonight, so I didn’t go too far.)”
"Ouch~ (But don't worry, sister, I can get a little more tomorrow night.)"
"Your little scoundrel wants to kill all the tree kings in the forest. You should get more tomorrow night." Hearing this, Sister Hong'er knocked Cheng Hao's big head angrily and said, "These trees As long as the kings don't come to harm humans, there's no need to kill them all. After all, they haven't done anything bad."
When these trees encountered Xiaoju, they were really unlucky for eight lifetimes.
"Ouch~ (Don't worry, sister. I knew how to beat them all to death. I just took out their tree hearts. Otherwise, if I kill them all, who will provide me with the tree hearts?)" Cheng Hao said, greeting Xiao Hua on the side.
But all he got was a blank look from the other party, and he was immediately speechless. He greeted the other party kindly, but the other party actually ignored him. This was really speechless.
Wasn't it just that he robbed her of some pieces of meat when she was a child? As for being petty and holding grudges till now?
"Xiao Ju, can you suck out these parasitic hyphae? Then can you help other victims get rid of the hyphae now?" From the shock of Cheng Hao taking out three tree hearts, he replied The commander who came to his senses smiled and walked up to Cheng Hao and asked.
Now in the entire department, there are hundreds of citizens who are tortured by mycelium.
What if Xiao Ju actually has such ability? Then it must be possible to deal with this kind of thing without much trouble.
"Yes, Xiaoju. Before you left, you promised your sister that you would help." After hearing this, Sister Hong'er also spoke, looking at Cheng Hao who was pulling the cart.
"Ouch~ (I didn't say I would regret it, sister, please eat the heart of the tree first and then talk about it.)" said Cheng Hao, who was pushing the stroller back and forth.
