Under the transformation of the Divine Vine, the first big tree not only grew eyes but quickly developed a mouth, letting out a dull roar.
Immediately following was the second big tree, and the third big tree...
In the forest south of the Vine Tribe, hundreds of big trees were all transformed into Tree-men.
These Tree-men each opened their eyes and excitedly waved their thick branches, creating a rustling sound. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on noᴠelfire.net
A few Tree-men even pulled their roots from the ground, moving quickly like octopuses, and then rooted themselves in another spot.
Perhaps these trees had long been dissatisfied with their growing places and changed locations as soon as they gained mobility.
On the watchtower, Jiang Xuan and the Vine Tribe warriors were watching this scene, all of them were dumbfounded.
Jiang Xuan had initially prepared to fight first and escape if unable to win, but now it seemed unnecessary.
The warriors of the Black Snake Tribe had already charged forward, their totem patterns on their faces emitting a faint black light, running at an astonishing speed.
Finally, the first wave of Snake Tribe warriors reached the forest outside the Vine Wall.
However, when they planned to continue forward, they saw that the big trees ahead suddenly came to life, faces appearing on the trunks, and they issued low growls towards the Black Snake Tribe warriors.
A Tree-man swung its thick branches, hitting the Black Snake Tribe warriors, sending many flying, their bones and muscles shattered.
A Black Snake Tribe warrior shouted in terror, "These trees are alive..."
In other parts of the forest, incoming Black Snake Tribe warriors faced the same issue, rows of giant trees became active, attacking them unexpectedly, causing wailing and chaos.
The Tree-men’s power was truly terrifying, and they were enormous. A single sweep of their branches left no room to hide.
Over a hundred Tree-men attacked simultaneously, and more than six thousand Black Snake Tribe warriors were defeated, scrambling to flee.
More critically, the forest contained more than just Tree-men.
Ordinary vines, grasses, and shrubs were also blessed by the Divine Vine. Although they did not grow eyes and mouths like the Tree-men, they gained some intelligence and mobility.
A Three-Color Warrior from the Black Snake Tribe was using his swift speed to dodge the Tree-men’s attacks in the forest when his feet suddenly got tangled by an ordinary vine.
Normally, such an ordinary vine would be of no concern, easily broken with brute force.
But now, while entangled, the terrifying branches of the Tree-men struck him directly.
The Three-Color Warrior screamed, as the Tree-men’s branches shattered his bones and left him wounded all over.
The Tree-man pulled its thick roots from the ground, moving over the Three-Color Warrior.
Once the Tree-man passed, the Three-Color Warrior was dead beyond doubt, his spear broken into several pieces.
On the watchtower, Jiang Xuan watched over a hundred Tree-men pursue six thousand Black Snake Tribe warriors and exclaimed in awe.
Chi Shao smiled and said, "With the Vine God here, the entire forest is our ally, making it difficult for outsiders to invade."
"The entire forest is our ally!"
Jiang Xuan marveled again, feeling truly impressed by the terrifying power of the Divine Vine for the first time.
As long as they were in the forest, it could enlist all the plants to assist in battle.
Then Jiang Xuan thought of something: "Why didn’t the Vine God create some Tree-men before?"
Chi Shao replied, "Perhaps it’s because it consumes too much divine power."
Jiang Xuan nodded, understanding that transforming a big tree into a Tree-man was indeed difficult. Even a mighty entity like that black snake might find it impossible.
Jiang Xuan speculated that the Divine Vine’s power increased significantly after absorbing the Divine Soul and Divine Power of the Fierce Bird God, reaching the level of a mighty deity, allowing it to transform hundreds of big trees into Tree-men.
If the Divine Vine’s power continued to grow, it might one day transform all the big trees in the forest into Tree-men.
Imagining a scenario where all the trees around the Vine Tribe were Tree-men, Jiang Xuan was filled with excitement.
What a spectacular scene that would be!
However, Jiang Xuan thought of another issue, so he quietly asked Chi Shao, "If we need to cut trees in the future, will these Tree-men stop us?"
The tribe currently relied on firewood, and various tools and implements required lumber to make.
If the Tree-men prevented the Vine Tribe from cutting trees, it would be disastrous.
"I need to ask the Vine God for that," Chi Shao replied.
Chi Shao closed her eyes and communicated with the Divine Vine for a moment, then opened her eyes again.
"How is it?" Jiang Xuan looked at her.
"The Vine God asked me to ask you, why do people from different tribes often fight despite being the same kind?"
"That... is of course for survival."
Chi Shao said, "Humans fight for survival, just like plants. Their struggle for survival among themselves is even fiercer."
A flash of insight came to Jiang Xuan: "So, cutting down some trees could promote the growth of other big trees?"
