Chapter 2519: The Walking Tree

“Go!”

Ye Bufan waved the Dragon Tooth in his hand, slicing all the flying vines into pieces, then led everyone to escape in an open direction.

Just now, this side didn't suffer many attacks; Leng Qingqiu alone blocked them all.

On the other side, Hua Feixue of the Huajian Sect once again used her previous method, continuously sending out petals from her hand to form a spherical enclosure, blocking all the vines and other vegetation outside.

At the same time, the three people stood on a rock, so they didn't have to worry about the small grasses attacking from below.

But now, those man-eating trees were rushing over frantically, and Ye Bufan and the others had already fled; they dared not stay and followed closely behind, also escaping.

About a few hundred meters away, there was an open space with not too many plants, and everyone fled directly there.

They originally thought they would be safe here, but when they looked back, everyone's eyes widened instantly.

Behind them, trees were moving their 'feet' and walking towards them; there were giant man-eating trees, and also individual small grasses.

Jiang Fangzhou exclaimed, “My goodness, what kind of monsters are these? I'm so old, and this is the first time I've seen trees that can walk.”

Earlier in the forest, the short-distance movements of the man-eating trees hadn't caught his attention, but now he truly felt how terrifying these things were.

“Look over there!”

At this moment, Hu Yaoyao, who was nearby, also let out an exclamation. Everyone followed the direction she pointed, only to see countless giant trees also walking over from the other side.

Not only that, the scenery in the other two directions was exactly the same; countless plants were continuously converging towards them.

In other words, they were completely surrounded.

Jiang Fangzhou's eyes widened: “We're actually surrounded by a bunch of trees!”

Hua Ruyu, pinching his orchid finger, said coquettishly, “What kind of monsters are these? Could it be that trees have become spirits?”

“The reason isn't important; what's important is that we are surrounded now.”

Ye Bufan said, “Everyone just saw how powerful these plants are. Now there are two paths to choose: either fight them, or quickly teleport yourselves out.”

“I won't leave.”

Hua Ruyu's demeanor was charming, but his tone was extremely firm.

“I am a person with aspirations. Since I've entered, I must at least reach the Eighth Level; there's no way I'm leaving now.”

Speaking of this, he winked at Ye Bufan again: “Little brother, let's fight side by side. If we really encounter danger later, remember to protect me.”

“Uh!”

Ye Bufan's stomach churned, wishing he could kick this guy into the mouth of a man-eating tree.

But in the short time they were talking, those big and small trees had already surrounded them.

These plants densely surrounded the area, leaving no gaps; there were big trees, small trees, flowers, and grasses—in short, all kinds of them.

In the very center, a giant man-eating tree stood out particularly.

Because it was truly enormous, thick enough for ten people to embrace, towering into the clouds, with a giant mouth on its trunk that looked awe-inspiring.

Although there were many flowers and grasses nearby, they all maintained a certain distance from it, clearly indicating that this guy was the king of these plants.

Looking at this giant, everyone's hearts involuntarily tightened, but suddenly, this enormous man-eating tree stopped moving.

At the same time, all the other plants also stood still, not advancing further.

Jiang Fangzhou asked somewhat surprised, “What are they doing? Do they know we're powerful and are giving up the attack?”

Ye Bufan shook his head, thinking this was impossible; up until now, these plants had the absolute advantage.

“I guess they are preparing.”

As soon as his voice fell, the dense trees around them changed; a group of low-lying shrubs rushed out.

These trees were generally not tall, about one to two meters, covered with dense, sharp thorns, about a foot long.

Their roots were as thick as a child's arm, but their tips were like arrows, looking incredibly sharp.

They lined up in rows as if they were well-trained soldiers, marching towards them with heavy steps.

At a distance of about thirty meters from the group, these shrubs began to sway.

As they swayed, the thorns on them shot out like a volley of arrows, their speed no less than that of arrows, accompanied by sharp whistling sounds.

“My goodness, they can even do this!”

Facing the dense attack, everyone continuously waved the weapons in their hands. Fortunately, no one here was weak, and blocking these thorns was not a problem.

Leng Qingqiu even let out a loud shout, directly launching an active attack. Her longsword swung out, and instantly, overwhelming sword energy slashed over, reducing those shrubs to dust.

Everyone had just breathed a sigh of relief, but then hundreds more small trees came out. These trees had not thorns on their trunks, but rather hard nuts the size of basketballs.

As they walked, they continuously threw these nuts. These things were extremely fast and heavy, accompanied by sharp whistling sounds.

Jiang Fangzhou met one with his sword, striking a nut with a clang, and was himself shaken back.

Although the nut was blocked, it landed on the ground completely unharmed, showing its hardness.

Everyone became busy again, dodging, evading, or attacking, barely managing to withstand the onslaught of these nuts.

This time, Yi Luoxiang made her move. She had somehow taken out a seven-stringed zither again, and under the sharp zither music, those trees all exploded into clouds of powder.

“These things are truly monsters!”

Jiang Fangzhou looked at the dense vegetation around him, feeling a surge of fear. If he were here alone, he probably would only have the option of crushing his teleportation jade token and escaping.

Even with so many strong individuals present, these two rounds of attacks had consumed a great deal of their energy.

Most crucially, under the command of that tall man-eating tree, the surrounding trees gave them no chance to breathe.

As soon as they had dealt with the previous trees, hundreds more immediately began to besiege them.

These trees were about two to three meters tall, looking thick and sturdy, with few leaves, appearing bare.

Jiang Fangzhou let out a long sigh of relief: “These trees don't have anything, so they should be easier to deal with…”

But before he could finish speaking, the foremost large tree suddenly sprayed out a stream of green sap.

He was startled and subconsciously swung his longsword to strike it.

However, this green tree sap was completely different from the previous attacks; a sword strike had no effect at all, feeling soft, and then the green sap poured all over him.

“This stuff is so sticky, I can't move!”

Jiang Fangzhou exclaimed. He was drenched from head to toe, and then his entire body was fixed in place.

The green tree sap was exactly like super strong glue; he couldn't even move a finger.

At the same time, the remaining trees also sprayed out streams of sap, and then each one seemed to shrink in size.

Looking at the scene before him, Ye Bufan was speechless. Wasn't this just like the Plants vs. Zombies game he used to play?

Except now, the plants were playing the role of zombies, and he was the one fighting.

The tree sap was overwhelming, even turning the sky green.

It was impossible to block this kind of attack head-on, so Ye Bufan waved his hand, and a giant ice wall appeared in front of him.
