Chapter 14：Vegetative People (2/2)

When Wei Huo rushed out of the jungle, he could finally see his attackers under the moonlight.

They were huge trees!

They were walking Tree-Men!

Each tree was over 20 meters tall, and all of them had two legs, two hands, huge canopies, and a pair of eyes and ears in the middle of their bodies. Some of the Tree-Men seemed like they had just emerged from the soil and as they started walking upright, their roots began shrinking back into the insides of their legs.

The other Tree-Men which had yet to emerge from the soil used their huge hands to pull themselves off the ground, and their legs out of the soil.

Wei Huo's eyes widened in shock.

'Are these Tree-Men animals or plants, or perhaps… Vegetative people?'

Wei Huo did not know how to describe them. They could either be human-shaped plants or plant-shaped humans. They seemed like they were quite interested in Wei Huo. They surrounded him while one of the Tree-Man still had the beasts tied up in its vines. Their luggage as well as daily provisions started falling onto the ground. Those Tree-Men stared at the things curiously and stopped moving.

Wei Huo's brows scrunched together. He saw the Information Feed of the Tree-Man which showed that they were all at the rank of 'Slightly Abnormal'. In other words, each of their powers was on the same rank as his own, and there were hundreds of them around him!

What could he do?

If he chose to escape without rescuing the beasts, he could make it out. However, if he chose to rescue them… Perhaps none of them would make it out.

As Wei Huo was deep in thought, one of the Tree-Man bent over with his head lowered and extended his fingers. He started shaking himself causing leaves and flowers to fall down. A few red and yellow flowers landed in front of Wei Huo.

Wei Huo was confused. ”???”

'What's going on?'

Wei Huo did not see any mouths on those Tree-Men. In other words, they were unable to speak. However, it seemed like they had their own mode of communication.

Wei Huo was pretty good at biology. He knew that plants usually communicated with each other by spreading their pollen. However, he did not know what kind of trees were the Tree-Men in front of him. Their canopies had all kinds of flowers on them. It seemed like those were their organs of communication.

There was just one problem. Wei Huo could not communicate with them!

The biological evolution had indeed been accelerated. Not only did the IQs of animals increase, but even plants had also evolved into being capable of moving as well.

Within the next moment, Wei Huo sneezed. The Tree-Men was indeed communicating through pollen, and the pollen around the area was getting dense. Moments later, Wei Huo realized that the Tree-Men waved the red flowers on them followed by the yellow and purple ones intermittently.

Could it be that…was how they communicated?

Wei Huo picked up a red lower and waved it.

All Tree-Men immediately focused their attention on Wei Huo.

The original idiom Wei Huo was referring to was 'a weak teammate does more harm than a strong enemy'.
