Laugh at my lack of gods in China? I awaken billions of gods at the beginning

Chapter 887: Stealing a Chicken, Losing the Rice

Soon, led by Luo Yun and his group, everyone entered the Ghost Tree Forest one after another.

At first, when people first entered, they felt a little creeped out by the twisted and strange ghost trees all around.

However, as the main force ventured deeper into the area, the ghost trees around them made no other unusual noises besides being frightening.

People gradually felt reassured.

However, this tranquility did not last long.

Before long, gasps of surprise came from the rear of the crowd.

"what?!"

"Hiss, these ghost trees can move!"

"Holy crap, they're arresting people!"

The crowd stirred.

Exclamations broke the silence, echoing through the dim light.

Luo Yun, Lan Ling, and the others who were at the forefront quickly received the message from the chosen ones who were bringing up the rear.

However, after listening for only a short while, Luo Yun and Lan Ling looked at each other in surprise.

"Forehead."

"They move?"

Luo Yun frowned and glanced at the ghost trees around him.

Lanling narrowed her eyes slightly and carefully looked around.

"It seems we underestimated these ghost trees."

"They are incredibly intelligent."

Lanling couldn't help but sigh.

The reason why Luo Yun, Lan Ling, and the others were not in a hurry at this moment was quite simple.

That's because the unrest in the rear wasn't caused by the humans on Earth at all.

It was caused by the new Yamato species that had been following humans.

According to information received from the rear.

After the last group of people entered the Ghost Forest, everything remained peaceful and without any changes.

However, as they walked, the group of Yamato newborns who followed them in were attacked by the Demon Tree.

Then you could see those branches, like ghostly hands, darting and dancing wildly in the void.

The branches, like vines, rapidly coiled out, lifting the newly born Yamato creatures into the air.

Then you can see that those creatures that were rolled up were torn apart on the spot by a powerful brute force.

They immediately performed a scene of "dismemberment by five horses" on the spot.

Blood mingled with chilling screams, shattering the peaceful atmosphere of the dimly lit world.

Those humans on Earth who were far behind were naturally quite startled.

That's why chaos broke out at the back of the crowd.

However, what's strange is...

These ghost trees completely ignored the humans of Blue Star.

It seemed to have a clear objective, targeting only the new species of Yamato.

After people realized what had happened, although they were quite frightened, their lives were not in danger.

"That's strange, why do these ghost trees only kill the newborn Yamato species?"

Luo Yun blinked, feeling somewhat puzzled.

After thinking for a moment, Lanling said, "I guess they've sensed your strength."

"Don't forget, you are the only one here who has transcended the mortal level and is favored by the gods."

"Because of the special nature of those favored by the gods, even if they enter the divine realm, they are not judged by the star map system to be at the level of immortals or gods."

"This is why you are able to participate in this great battle at the mortal level."

At this point, Lanling paused for a moment before continuing, "I think we really underestimated the intelligence of these ghost trees."

“The ghost trees aren’t stupid. In fact, when I was testing them earlier, they would rather suffer the consequences of being chopped by me than act like they posed no threat to us at all.”

"I guess it's because the ghost trees can sense your power and know that if they provoke us, their fate is predictable."

"If we were to compare these ghost trees to a race..."

"That is the Ghost Tree race, which, unable to communicate with us, did its best to express its attitude to us."

"They will not make things difficult for us, much less attack us."

"To put it bluntly, we just don't want our clan to be wiped out by you."

Lanling glanced at Luo Yun and smiled slightly.

And indeed, things turned out exactly as Lanling had predicted.

These ghost trees possess an astonishingly terrifying level of intelligence.

They are definitely not ordinary plants from Earth.

In fact, plants also have their own intelligence.

Let's take plants on Earth as an example.

Each plant appears immobile and devoid of any sense of pain.

Compared to animals, plants seem to be inanimate objects.

However, if we broaden our perspective to thousands, or even tens of thousands of years...

This allows us to discover that plants also possess their own thoughts and intelligence.

Some plants, unable to bear being eaten by animals, have evolved capsaicin, or even toxins, over time.

Some plants harden their outer shells to protect their seeds from being eaten by animals.

These examples abound in the evolution of nature.

This is enough to prove that plants also have their own set of survival strategies and are even capable of consciously changing themselves.

However, compared to animals, plants are clearly less intelligent.

It's at least not a single dimension of thinking speed.

Animals can often figure out what they need to do in an instant.

To flee or to hunt.

Plants, due to their unique characteristics, do not have that ability to provide timely feedback.

Therefore, the speed at which plants develop their intelligence often takes hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years.

Only after the passage of time can plants slowly transform themselves to adapt to the natural environment.

This is exactly the life cycle of an ordinary plant.

obviously.

The ghost trees in this eternal dead zone are different.

These ghost trees possess a thought rate that is in no way inferior to that of animals.

They even know how to avoid misfortune and seek good fortune.

Because they sensed that Luo Yun's strength was beyond the mortal realm, and that he was an existence that their entire race could not afford to provoke.

Therefore, these ghost trees decisively displayed their harmless demeanor when facing Luo Yun.

This is also because Luo Yun is human.

These ghost trees, of course, wouldn't harm the humans present.

After all, they all came together.

If you get a craving and eat one, you might anger the other person.

As a result, they started slaughtering everyone in sight, burning the entire forest to ashes, and it's not impossible that they wiped out the whole clan.

It was under this consideration that...

The Ghost Tree dared not lay a hand on the humans of Blue Star.

This is just great.

The ghost tree's "goodwill gesture".

This, on the contrary, made the new Yamato species lower their guard.

Actually, at the very beginning.

The leader of the new Yamato species.

The long-beaked, golden-bodied monster also sensed some danger.

After all, these ghost trees don't look normal at all; they're too eerie.

However, as humans from Earth gradually entered the forest...

However, they were not attacked by the ghost tree for a long time.

The golden-beaked monster secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Only then did he feel at ease allowing his people to follow him and catch up with the human forces on Earth as quickly as possible.

After all, this was part of the golden-beaked monster's plan.

Since there is a powerful individual among the humans of Earth who is capable of standing alone.

Therefore, the best choice is for myself and my people to follow the humans of Earth closely.

Once they were separated from these humans from Earth.

If their own race encounters some danger, wouldn't they be unable to bring the humans of Earth down with them?

so.

The golden-beaked monster seemed rather anxious.

It had no choice.

It cannot abandon following the humans of Earth and choose to take a detour elsewhere.

It is precisely because of these factors that the current situation has been created.

"what!"

"Damn it, what are these weird trees?!"

"No, no, no, no! I don't want to die!"

"No!"

"Save me, save me!"

"why why?!"

"Why did these damned trees choose to attack us instead of attacking humans on Earth?!"

"No!"

"..."

In the ranks of the new Yamato species, members of their race are constantly being swept away by the branches of the demon tree.

The scary thing is.

These ghostly trees didn't hesitate at all after sweeping away those living beings.

He tore those creatures to pieces on the spot.

Accompanied by screams that pierced the sky, blood and bits of flesh flew everywhere.

The stench of blood immediately filled the air and permeated the surroundings.

This time.

Even the golden-beaked monster at the head of the group looked extremely ugly.

Its face was gloomy and uncertain, and its round body lunged forward like a madman.

At this point, it couldn't care less about its ordinary tribesmen.

All I wanted to do was escape this eerie forest as quickly as possible.

In contrast, the situation is quite different for the humans on Earth.

Wherever humans have walked.

The ghost trees were scattered around in various places.

They all looked like "well-behaved children".

It's even kind of cute to look at.

The branches of that ghost tree waved incessantly, as if beckoning to humans and welcoming them to visit its territory.

In short.

It was incredibly peaceful and serene.

at the same time.

The scene here was also observed by various extraterrestrial races on the star map system.

The crowd, accustomed to the food, finally got excited.

"Aha?"

"The new Yamato species has been attacked?"

"That's strange, why are the humans on Earth unaffected?"

"Hahaha, this is hilarious, so hilarious!"

"I think the leader of that new Yamato species was following behind the Earthlings the whole time, just trying to take advantage of them, right?"

"I want to be able to throw the Earthlings into the water if there is any danger."

"Now look what happened, he tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead."

"Hahaha."

The onlookers couldn't stop laughing.

All that's missing is a couple of stools, some sunflower seeds, and a chat.

Chu Yun and the others naturally noticed the changes in the Eternal Dead Zone.

The Celestial Venerable, the Sect Leader, Nuwa, and others couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Everyone was in high spirits.

On the other hand, let's look at the Amano-no-Mikoto side.

With his level of mastery over the heavens, he naturally understood the situation at a glance.

"Ok?"

"That Luo Yun..."

"I understand."

"These damned, bizarre creatures are afraid of Luo Yun's strength, which is why they dare not attack the Blue Star people."

After all, Ten no Mi was born on Earth.

Although he is now a traitor despised by everyone on Earth.

However, it is undeniable that Ame no Michi belongs to the Sakura pantheon.

That was during the Mythical Arena era.

As the creator of a major pantheon, Tenno was also one of the personal architects of the rules for the Mythical Arena.

Therefore, Amanomi understood after only a moment's thought.

The reason why the Ghost Tree doesn't attack the Earthlings.

It was precisely because of Luo Yun's existence.

Luo Yun, a divine being favored by the gods, is no longer on the mortal level.

In this great war specifically waged for mortal beings.

Luo Yun is like a bug in a game.

He shouldn't exist!

Ten no Michi immediately felt extremely annoyed.

My emotions fluctuated a few times.

"damn it."

"You Earthlings actually got a good deal!"

Ten no Miyako no longer refers to himself as a Blue Star person.

They changed their tune very quickly.

He sat on the throne, rubbing his temples in frustration, and muttered to himself.

Beside her was someone from the Amethyst Clan, the same clan as Zi Ran.

Zi Xiao, who is also Zi Ran's older brother, heard Tian Zhi Yu's self-talking voice.

A barely perceptible hint of disdain flashed in Zi Xiao's eyes.

Ha ha.

What a lowly creature it is.

Even though he possesses the strength of a Saint Realm expert, deep down he is a traitor who doesn't even recognize his own race.

Such lowly creatures could actually seize opportunities and achieve sainthood.

It has to be said that outer space is still very vast, and there are all kinds of birds there.

……

"Blue Star people!"

"What are you guys doing?!"

"What exactly did you do?!"

Soon, after leaving the Ghost Forest.

Luo Yun then heard a roar behind him that sounded like thunder.

It was a round, chubby monster with a long snout that shone with a golden luster.

Its form moved like lightning, piercing the dark sky, hovering in mid-air, roaring incessantly.

A strange look flashed across Luo Yun's face.

Everyone looked at the irritable monster in the sky with bewildered expressions.

Tsk.

What did we do?

We didn't do anything.

Luo Yun blinked, completely ignoring the enraged monster.

At the same time, Luo Yun also observed it with his divine sense.

At this moment.

After leaving the Ghost Forest.

There were three or four thousand people from Earth when the Blue Star people came.

There are still none left.

However, there are not many Yamato newborns left.

Originally, the number of representatives on both sides was exactly the same.

They were all randomly selected by the Star Chart system.

But after going through that ordeal...

The number of Yamato newborns has plummeted to less than a thousand!

That's right!

There are only eight or nine hundred left.

The losses were devastating; the entire team was nearly wiped out.

However, Luo Yun also realized that the remaining ones should be the elite of the new Yamato species.

The Yamato race, similar to ordinary humans on Earth, had clearly perished in the Ghost Forest.

"Damn it, damn it!"

"People of Earth, you are despicable! Did you cheat?"

"Have you been to this Eternal Dead Zone before?! Have you been colluding with the strange creatures here long ago?!"

The other party was still roaring.

Luo Yun gave it a cold look.

His mind was not on the golden-beaked monster at all.

Luo Yun's attention was mostly focused on what was ahead.

He knew very well that the road ahead would likely be more difficult than he had imagined.

Instead of wasting energy arguing with the other party.

It's better to be extra vigilant and pay close attention to any potential dangers that may arise around us.

"Sister Lan, wait a minute!"

"What's that up ahead?"
