Chapter 291 The Great Escape from the Forest
Yufei moved her head, looked around, and realized she could still move.
What comes into view is a sea of lush greenery; this place clearly appears to be teeming with life.
But for some reason, Yufei felt a deathly silence, which made her feel depressed.
Yufei paused for a moment, then slowly moved her body; thankfully, she could still move.
Yufei stood up and cautiously explored the area, while simultaneously searching her surroundings for He Junlin and Xie Yi's sister.
At the same time, Yufei finally understood why she felt this place was strange—there wasn't a sound at all.
There were no insects chirping, no birds singing, not even the sound of the wind.
It was even quieter than her own space. Based on Yufei's experience from reading so many novels and watching so many cartoons in her past life, anything unusual was bound to be suspicious.
She just didn't know why the potential dangers here hadn't dealt with her while she was unconscious.
Yufei found a dry twig on her way forward and used it to probe the path ahead, stirring up trouble as she went.
"Whoosh~" Where Yufei couldn't see, a branch the length of a baby's arm was rapidly moving towards her from a kilometer away behind her.
In less than five minutes, they had arrived at a spot less than 100 meters behind Yufei.
Like a snake, it crept in, stealthily approaching Yufei, aiming for a fatal blow.
"Whoosh!" The vine sensed that the person before it was completely unsuspecting and hadn't noticed it at all. Without further hesitation, it shot towards Yufei from behind.
Yufei suddenly felt a pang of fear; her sixth sense told her that danger was imminent!
Without hesitation, she rolled to the side, and saw a vine the size of a baby's arm transform into a sharp cone from behind her, shooting past the spot where she had just been standing.
If she hadn't rolled over, she would have been impaled by that vine.
Now that it has lost its target, inertia has caused its sharp point to firmly embed itself in the ground.
Feeling that its purpose had not been achieved, the vine quickly pulled itself out of the soil and shot towards Yufei again.
At the same time, several vines that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere also shot towards Yufei.
Fortunately, Yufei had previously trained with Master Wu and in the Pet World.
Although she couldn't fight the vines, she still managed to dodge several of their obstacles with her agile movements.
It ran forward in a disheveled state, leaping and bounding as it was whipped about by several vines.
Meanwhile, the number of vines chasing her increased, and Yufei almost died there several times. Fortunately, her luck improved at this point.
She narrowly avoided everything, and in her panic, she ran for her life.
She didn't know how long she had been running, but just as her energy was about to be exhausted, her vision suddenly opened up.
A towering tree that seemed to reach for the sky appeared before her, and the vines that had been chasing her were actually the weeping willows of that tree.
This was a giant, mutated willow tree. She stumbled upon the place the vines were meant to lead her to.
Some of the vines were wrapped in something, forming little green eggs, while the other vines, which weren't bound to anything, danced wildly in front of Yufei.
It was as if they were mocking her, saying, "You choose the path to heaven but refuse to walk it, and you force your way into the gates of hell when there are none."
Now that we've arrived at its stronghold, let's see how you delicate humans will hide.
The willow branches around Yufei resembled snakes eyeing their dying prey, not in a hurry to attack her.
Instead, they circled around her, as if observing her, watching how this little prey struggled.
They seemed to be waiting for Yufei to struggle. Yufei had a feeling that as long as she struggled and tried to escape, these willow branches flying everywhere would deliver a fatal blow.
They ended her young life, and now they're just playing with her, like a cat playing with a mouse.
Yufei was furious. If she wanted her dead, she should have given her a quick death. Why was she toying with her like this? Was it fun?
They're all the same, they're all perverts!
What should she do?! Ah, right! Yufei's eyes lit up; she'd completely forgotten!
She was so stupid; she had completely forgotten that she was a person with a spatial ability!
As she flashed into the space, the willow branch saw its prey, which it had been carrying, suddenly vanish.
They were initially stunned, then searched everywhere for the scent of their prey, only to find that the prey had truly vanished.
In a fit of rage, all the willow branches stood up straight, as if they had bristled.
It also let out a furious roar of "Pa pa pa~".
Yufei looked at everything outside the space and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.
The person gradually relaxed from a tense state.
"It's been so long since I've used my spatial ability. I'd almost forgotten I had one. If that willow branch had successfully ambushed me, I wouldn't have even thought to go into my spatial ability. Am I the first person in history to die from my own stupidity?!"
Yufei was both amused and exasperated with herself.
"That's incredibly stupid! But Xiao Jun won't let you die. I'll remind you when the time comes."
Xiao Jun looked at her master speechlessly, wondering if it was too late to change owners.
Actually, Xiao Jun wanted to let Yufei enter the space when she woke up, but later it changed its mind. It wanted to see when its owner would remember it without its reminder.
As a result, it was almost driven to tears by its owner's stupidity. Luckily, it remembered in the end. This owner is so unreliable! To be honest, it was a little angry.
"Hmph! Go check on your stupid cat! You at least brought it in when it was injured, but when you're in danger yourself, you completely forget about me. Fine! You're something else!"
Xiao Jun got angrier and angrier, so she simply ignored her.
Yufei could tell from Xiaojun's photos that she was jealous.
"How could that be? When I encounter primitive plants or find something good, I do think of Xiaojun. It's just that when I'm in danger, subconsciously I don't want to expose my spatial dimension, so I don't think about needing more space."
I know you're a magnanimous person, so please don't be angry with me.
Yufei smiled ingratiatingly, fawning over Xiaojun like a puppy.
"Hmph! Don't try to morally blackmail me!" Xiao Jun still seemed a little angry, but Yu Fei knew from its softened voice that it wasn't so angry anymore.
Attention was drawn to the little black creature, curled up in a dormant state.
"How is it?" Yufei asked Xiaojun with some concern.
"It suffered a backlash, and its body's energy is somewhat chaotic. I helped it sort out the chaotic energy, and now it's repairing its damaged domain shield on its own. It won't wake up until it's fully repaired."
Xiao Jun looked at Xiao Hei and reassured Yu Fei that its injuries weren't too serious.
"That's good. I underestimated those insectoids. I thought that as long as our summoned beasts were involved, dealing with them would be a piece of cake. But it turns out they can ignore the laws of nature and directly devour our energy."
"Luckily, they didn't invade the pet world, otherwise it would have been a catastrophic disaster for the summoned beasts there!" Yufei said to Xiao Hei with self-reproach; she had underestimated the strength of the insectoid race.
