Chapter 363
On the edge that between two dense forests, and in the grass that was almost as tall as a human, one or two strange human heads would pop out from the grass from time to time to watch the movements on the other side of the of forest vigilantly .
“ Those are watchers, the one that killed by the golden armored woman was also one of them . Amongst all the plants, they are the weakest . However, they are also indispensable . Bi Zhu (TL: The ruler of the forest) needs them to monitor everything happened on the edge of the forest . Despite they are the weakest, you can't underestimate them . they are not the creatures that we can mess around with . “ The old man carefully hid the broken spear in his clothes and said quietly .
Chu Yunsheng didn't pay attention to what the old man was saying . He was still thinking about how to leave this place as soon as possible . However, it seemed like he would have a little bit trouble avoiding those watchers .
So he could not help but look at the watcher plant that was nearest to him from top to bottom in attempting to remember all its features .
“Hissss… . . . ”
The watcher plant immediately noticed that Chu Yunsheng was looking at it . it was making a hissing sound to express its dissatisfaction .
The old man quickly dragged Chu Yunsheng away . He lowered his voice and reminded Chu Yunsheng again:” young man, if you want to survive in this place, the first rule you need to remember is that don’t stare at those plants at any time . They don’t like people staring at them . If they get angry, you will be killed!”
Chu Yunsheng immediately stopped looking at it and pressed down his cap . He speeded up his pace and carried on thinking for a solution .
The hazy shimmer in the sky slowly disappeared, many lamp-like plants began to glow in the forest, some were glowing a dim yellow light, some were like light sticks glowing in strange cool colors . Most of the “lamp” were in different shapes and colors, and the light they gave out made the whole night forest looked mysterious and wonderful . . .
“ those are lamp plants, they like to be active during the night time . We are also depending on them to give out light during the night . But don't try to approach them . They will confuse your vision and make you lose yourself . They will make you believe that you have returned to the age of light, and then hide you until you become one of them . ” the old man kept explaining everything to Chu Yunsheng . It seemed like he knew everything about this place .
As they walked further, many rows of brown cactus-like plants began to appear in their sight . Different to the plants they saw earlier, those plants had a human head at the bottom of their body . it was near the ground .
“ Those are thorn shooter plants . They are a bunch of dangerous people, don't try to smile in front of them, even if it means that you want to show your friendliness, they will think that you are mocking them . They will shoot many sharp thorns at you!” The old man emphasized .
When they just passed rows of thorn shooter plants, they encountered another group of tree-like creatures . On those creatures’ branches, there were many eggplant-like objects, and of those eggplants-like objects had a small mouth and sharp teeth . Some of them were half open, some of them were completely closed .
Chu Yunsheng thought that if he was not wrong, those plants must have a human head as well . However, even with his ability, he was surprised that he couldn't even find their heads .
“Those are poisonous eggplants, they always like to hide their heads . They thought that in that way, no one will be able to find out that they are Zhiwu People (TL: plant people) . But if you dare to try to find out where their heads are, then they will spit poisonous liquid at you . Their deadly liquid could even kill an insect!” The old man’s eyes had a faint of admiration when he said it .
After a group of poisonous eggplants, it was an area that covered with sharp spikes . All the spikes were as tall as a human . In the lamp plant’s cool light, those sharp spikes were revealing the deadly sheen .
“ This area is the underground stingers’ territory . We need to keep a distance from them at all time . They like to bury their head in the ground only revealing their faces, so they could stare into the sky at all time . It is said that they are waiting for the sun to come out, and if anyone dares to block their views, they would use their sharp spikes to stab them . " said the old man .
……
With the old man's help, Chu Yunsheng got to know many new creatures in just one day . There were other Zhiwu People (TL: plants people) like rattan people, Juanxi people, fruit bomb people… .
This place had an army of plants!
It made Chu Yunsheng wonder that, who had an ability to produce a Plants Empire like this?
Form the old man's tone, it seemed like the ruler of this forest might be a human .
Of course, whether it was a human or not, it really had nothing to do with him . He was just a passerby . Despite he was temporarily trapped here, he would eventually get out of here .
He refused to get to know anyone again . He just wanted to carry on his journey alone, and quietly .
However, his fate seemed to want to play a game with him . From the beginning that he was dragged into this forest unconsciously, then he got into a strange fight inadvertently, and then he didn't know why he would follow the old man to this place . Everything was against his will . But, everything happened one after another .
Eventually, they arrived at a wall that made of many trees densely packed together . What was more shocking was that those three were so big and so tall that they couldn't even see the top of the tree . According to the old man, the trees in front of them were called Guardians . They had the strongest defense ability amongst all the plants .
“ The swarm once pushed all the way here, but they were eventually stopped by those guardians . The swarm had tried everything they could and attacked non-stop for almost a month . All of those guardians lost their branches during the defense at that time . It was because of them, the ruler of the forest had enough time to prepare an army of masked men and initiate a counter-attack . " the old man said respectfully .
“ Can I touch them?” Asked a young man who was carrying a big bag on his back, and the bag seemed to be stuffed with many things . He was following the old man and Chu Yunsheng from the beginning, so he also heard everything the old man said .
“ Yes You can, they are the most gentle creatures amongst all the Zhiwu People (TL: plant people), they have never harmed anyone before . ” the old man suddenly felt a little melancholy as if he suddenly remembered something sad .
The young man shook his shoulder to adjust the seemingly heavy bag on his back and slowly walked forward a few steps . He pressed his hands on the big entangled tree roots, instantly a strange energy fluctuation began to appear around them .
“ Omg, this is amazing, this is the god's work!” The young man was amazed .
His voice was a little loud . The golden armored woman instantly turned around and looked at the young man, the old man, and Chu Yunsheng while her eyebrows were pressed close together .
It was at that moment, the masked man who was guarding the entrance seemed to have activated something, the entangled tree roots began to slowly move away and opened a passage for them to pass through .
Chu Yunsheng followed them to passed through a passage that made of tree roots . Behind the passage was a big open green field with many thatched house scattering around the places . The place was bustling with people and everyone seemed to be busy doing something .
