Chapter 20: Break the branches
After the flames slowly dissipated, the three of them carefully approached the place where the dead trees fell.
Yu Yueming sniffed the air curiously. He didn't know what was filled with the mould bottles, but he could burn such a large flame at once, and it didn't affect the surrounding plants at all.
The broken dead trees were covered with black and gray by flames. The eyes and mouths on the trunks were closed, but the deformed organs did not disappear. After being smoked by the flames, they still emitted a strange and unpleasant smell.
Yu Yueming looked at the trunk of the tree and couldn't help but fall into thinking.
"What's wrong?" Lin Qiushuang seemed to see that Yu Yueming had a confusion in his heart and asked softly, "Do you feel that you can't do it?"
"Not that." Yu Yueming savored his thoughts carefully and sorted out his thoughts. "It's just... although it has completely turned into a monster now, it was originally an individual, and he always felt that if he did it, he should have a little fear and sad reaction, but in fact, I didn't feel anything. If I think about it carefully, I feel weird."
Lin Qiushuang smiled when she heard this: "It's a good thing to not empathize at this time, and the copy that will be repeated will be painful."
She paused and explained: "And now they have nothing to do with humans. According to my experience, from the moment of change, their original sanity has actually completely disappeared, and all that is left is just a new monster that continues its original thinking. They have no positive elements for human emotions, only strong malice."
After saying that, she swung her knife directly, slashed at the tree trunk, and began to look for her target.
From the crack she split, we can see that the section of the tree trunk is still squirming, as if it is still alive.
"I'll try it too!"
Qi Yuanze looked no psychological burden. He was eager to try, so he came over and cut it hard on the bark.
However, perhaps the burnt bark had increased its hardness, unlike the time he successfully cut off the dead tree before, his knife did not achieve any effect at all, and was directly bounced aside by the bark.
Yu Yueming thought about it, used his claws to spread the thick black and gray on the surface of the tree trunk, opened his mouth and bit the edge of the bark gap, and tried to tear it to both sides.
This time, perhaps because the target was dead, his old pendant did not give him the power to assist. He felt like he was biting a large piece of rubber. Even if he spent all his strength, he could only tear a short gap in the bark.
In the end, Lin Qiushuang completed most of the work. The knife in her hand was as smoothly as cutting tofu, and she took out a purple-black heart-shaped object wrapped in vines.
Looking at such a strange and bizarre organ, Yu Yueming suddenly felt his teeth itchy for some reason, and an urge to rush up and tear the heart to pieces.
But what the client asked for was a "complete heart". In order to avoid the task failure, he could only try hard to suppress his own idea.
Lin Qiushuang cut off a vine as a rope, tied the heart of the vine with it, and held it in her hand.
His vines tied his heart, and the original soup was transformed into original food. Yu Yueming sighed in his heart as he looked at this scene.
However, so far, although things have been a little twists and turns, they have been going well. He always feels something is wrong...
"Just hand it over here honestly?" Yu Yueming asked worriedly, "Is this okay? I always feel that this is not that simple."
Lin Qiushuang nodded: "Task requirements. You should be more alert at that time and deal with the moves."
She thought for a while, turned around and asked Qi Yuanze: "How long does your mission require you to stay?"
Qi Yuanze looked at the panel, calculated it, and replied: "It won't take long. It's past eleven o'clock now, and the task requires me to stay until after one pm, which is less than two hours in total."
Lin Qiushuang nodded.
"Then let's take a brief rest first and then complete the task."
——
Their process of rushing back to the place where the dead trees transformed by Wenle was very calm and there was no accident.
Seeing them back, the dead trees that were still moving slowly in the woods suddenly opened countless eyes and looked at them in unison.
"Take, have you brought it? His heart?"
"Bring it here." Lin Qiushuang raised the heart-shaped object that was still beating in her hands and wrapped in vines. "Now, you can be together forever."
The tone of the dead tree seemed to become ecstatic: "Give it to me quickly! Give it to me! Give it to me his heart!"
Lin Qiushuang did not hesitate and threw the items in her hand directly and accurately threw them in the direction of the dead tree.
The dancing vines steadily caught it and wrapped it tightly.
The tone of the dead tree also softened, as if a woman was deeply trapped in love, gentle and intoxicated.
"We are together. Forever, forever, together."
The vines split into countless tiny tentacles and penetrated deeply into the heart formed by the vine.
In a blink of an eye, the leaping of the heart suddenly increased, and countless branches extended from its surface, tangled and extended towards the sky and the ground.
In just a few dozen seconds, the heart of the vine seemed to turn into a seed, and it drew a strip at a fast forward speed to sprout a giant tree.
The trunks, roots and vines of the new trees are tightly entangled with the dead trees transformed by Wenle, closely connected, and are not distinguished from each other. Their trunks are scattered, and at a glance, they look like a pair of lovers embracing each other.
Yu Yueming subconsciously called out the panel and found that the task had been completed.
——
I wish to be a bird with wings in the sky, and I wish to be a branch on the ground.
Looking at this scene, people will remind you of this long-standing poem.
However, the formation process of the pair of "branches" in front of me is too ironic.
Yu Yueming pressed his ears and didn't know how to evaluate them, so he simply said nothing.
Qi Yuanze didn't care at all and had already clapped his hands aside.
"So handsome and handsome. It seems that there is another scenic spot in this village. Aren't most of the tourists here a couple? It matches this scenic spot very well."
Yu Yueming looked at the two tangled trees speechlessly. A couple who cheated on each other turned into trees and accompanied them forever... Are you sure this would be a suitable attraction? Isn't this kind of attraction really cursing couples? I would like to thank you for those tourists.
After Lin Qiushuang observed for a while and confirmed that there was no change even further, she suddenly turned her head and looked at the woods on one side.
"We have indeed completed the task as required. So, do you have any other instructions, the client?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Yueming turned his head along her gaze in surprise.
Chapter completed!
