Human Shackles

As he gradually went deep into the forest, the world in front of him became bizarre.

The surrounding area is full of towering trees hundreds of meters high, covering the clouds and the sun, and the four of them are like wriggling ants under them.

The sunlight through the tree canopy has become very bleak, but the light in the forest is not dark, because there are many fluorescent fungal mushrooms growing on the ground and on the tree body.

The magnificence of life is amazing. Everything is inseparable from sunlight. The lower layer of the forest is dark and there is no sunlight. The plants and fungi in it have evolved the ability to make light.

Zhang Wenqian suddenly realized a problem. I didn't even see a single animal along the way, not only large animals, but also snakes, insects, rats, ants, and birds. This is a sea of ​​plants.

The beautiful woman named Zhihui in the front stopped from time to time, and stretched out her slender and beautiful palms to stick to the big tree next to her, as if communicating with plants to gain direction.

"Miss Zhihui, can you save Xiaofan?" Zhang Wenqian asked softly.

The beautiful woman hesitated and pointed her finger at the top of her head: "I can't help it, but our patriarch has a way, just like them."

"Your patriarch?" Zhang Wenqian was stunned, and followed the direction she pointed to. On a towering tree with barely visible top, a strange creature crawled on it, like a human, but covered with deep Green bark, a handful of grass grows on the head that should have hair.

Its limbs were tightly wound around the tree like vines, as if it had noticed the people below, and looked down.

There was a chill in Zhang Wenqian's heart, because this thing is indeed a person, it still retains the human appearance, but the eyes are dull and dull, like a puppet.

"Persons infected with woodification disease!"

Zhang Wenqian hurriedly stepped back: "Who are you guys on earth?"

The beautiful woman sighed slightly: "People are divided into the five elements from birth. Some people have the five elements of fire and metal. They are born to conflict with wood energy, so they can't retain their minds."

Then warmly said: "Of course we are humans, Miss Zhang. Speaking of which I have lived in Qiandao Sea for a while, and heard your name."

"You return Xiaofan to me." Zhang Wenqian clenched the long sword in her hand and said indifferently.

"The only way to save her is the patriarch. You don't want to watch this little girl die."

Zhang Wenqian snorted coldly: "Hmph, if I become such a person, neither ghost nor ghost, I would rather kill her by myself."

The beautiful woman said patiently: "I said, everyone has five elements. This little girl has a weird physique and may not conflict with the wood energy."

The fat old man also said from the side: "Miss Zhang, my lady will not lie to you, and I will not lie to you. I was also dying. Fortunately, when I met the lady, she used the wood energy to help me clean my body. Human beings are pure flesh and blood, but because of this they have gained a long life."

He unbuttoned his shirt while talking, his chest was covered with small cysts, like tree tumors, not only in the chest, but also all over his body, which looked extremely permeating.

"Any energy transformation process is gradual. At present, the technique of woodification is still incomplete and cannot be fully compatible with flesh and blood in a short time. But you can rest assured that there will be a solution in the future. The combination of plants and animals is the thing. The most perfect creature, you can not only get a long lifespan, but also wash your mind. The wood energy is peaceful and peaceful. You no longer have the heart to kill, no more intrigue, and there will be no wars and disasters!"

The woman's beautiful face is full of rosy, creating this utopian world is obviously her ideal.

Zhang Wenqian said blankly: "Can you?"

"Of course, plants are everywhere, we can change the world!"

...

Continuing towards the depths of the forest, a tangy fragrance came, and a city hovering over a huge plant appeared in front of him.

In the houses and streets built by vines, countless weird humans live in them. They have become a combination of plants and people. The skin is wrinkled like bark, the limbs are slender like vines, and the hair is covered with branches and leaves.

But unlike the person infected with xylem disease just now, their consciousness and consciousness have been preserved. Like humans, some are talking and chatting, some are picking fruits, and jumping on the giant branches, as agile and quick as a monkey.

Seeing the arrival of the beautiful woman, these "people" bowed and bowed to clear the way.

Liu Hou smiled and said, "Welcome to the city of Xunyun. This is the base camp of our Mu people in the south."

"Let's go, I'll take you to see the patriarch." The beautiful woman whispered.

Zhang Wenqian looked at her face as white as Yingyu, then looked at the "tree people" around her, and couldn't help asking: "Miss Zhihui, are you a human?"

"Of course I am. Everyone here is human. Strictly speaking, it is constructed based on human genes. Just like the Sea Clan and the Three-Eyed Clan, they are a branch of human beings. You can call us the Mu Clan."

Only then did Zhang Wenqian realize the nature of the matter. The combination of these people and plants is to form a separate branch of intelligent species that is different from other human beings.

It is terrible for animals to evolve into fierce beasts, but animals are all individual-oriented physical evolutions, even if they are gregarious fierce beasts, they are not attached to others, but intelligent species are different. They can create civilization!

But if it is really a civilization without wars and disasters, is it good or bad?

The three set foot on a platform built by vines. Zhihui stroked a vine and closed her eyes for a moment. The platform began to slowly climb, and soon came to the top of the giant tree. The warm sunlight shone down, and there was a blooming flower here. The huge, unknown flower buds are filled with a tangy fragrance.

Among the huge flower buds, there is a palace built of petals, which is extremely beautiful under the refraction of colorful light.

"It's beautiful! Is this heaven?" Xiaofan saw this scene when he woke up, and he couldn't tell whether he was alive or dead.

"Come with me, the patriarch is inside."

Zhang Wenqian followed Zhihui into the palace amidst the buds with a little dazzling fascination.

There were more than a dozen people standing in the hall, their expressions were a bit solemn, and they were arguing with each other constantly, as if they were discussing something fiercely.

Unlike the treants below, the people here are no different from normal humans, and everyone's wood energy aura is extremely strong, either a wood elementalist or a somaist who has passed through the wood energy infusion.

Different from the nature of the mutation of the gene mutation of lignin infection, the body masters and elemental masters who focus on wood attribute energy are gradual training, and they will not produce abnormal changes themselves, but the efficiency is very low and the talent requirements are also high.

Sitting in the upper part of the hall is an old lady with a crouching body and gray hair. She seems to be aging, but her skin is as tender as a baby.

She seemed to be asleep, indifferent to the quarrel below. She raised her head until Zhang Wenqian and the others came in. Those cloudy eyes looked at them, and Zhang Wenqian only felt that everything about herself seemed to be presented to each other with this look. In front of him, he couldn't help taking a step back.

The old woman's face suddenly looked a little weird, and she asked her: "Do you know Luo Kai?"

After the old woman spoke, the people in the hall stopped talking at the same time, and looked over in surprise.

Zhang Wenqian was taken aback. She wanted to say she didn't know each other, but she nodded involuntarily.

The beautiful woman Zhihui on the side changed her face and became cold, and said, "Do you know the Thunder Saint? That little bastard?"

Zhang Wenqian said in a daze, "He is really Lei Sheng."

The fat old man suddenly followed with a sigh: "This kid is evolving too fast~www.readwn.com~ The hall fell silent. After a while, a man with a green cane said: "The human saint must do it for The evil demon came, and now the two great saints in the south are gathered, shall we look for them to cooperate? "

"No, humans regard us as a different kind, and I'm afraid that not only will they not cooperate, but they will act on us first."

"The character of this new saint is unknown, and Long Shengke has been trying to destroy my city of Xunyun."

"The Sha demon is the common enemy of all species. Once they have fully evolved into the Sha demon, they will be irresistible. I think the human saints should let go of their prejudices."

The hall was caught in a quarrel. Zhang Wenqian understood something. The evil demon who appeared in the Kingdom of Stars and Horses this time could order the insects.

Plants rely on their strong fecundity and life throughout the world, while the insect swarms eat everything, wherever no grass grows, and the plains and forests are full of red ridges. It is the most hostile species of plant life.
