The moment she scattered those tiny beans upon the ground, they suddenly sprouted. The tender green sprouts grew at an astonishing rate and an uncountable number of vines appeared in the blink of an eye, quickly entangling each other to form a jade-green ball of vine.
The demons were still chasing the youths and completely didn't notice the appearance of the vine ball.
However, as they ran past that sphere, it suddenly split open and bean-headed vines twisted in humanoid shapes emerged one after another. They immediately surged toward those demons!
In a flash, countless humanoid vines stood swaying and blocking the demons' path. The moment it touched a demon, the vines would immediately wrap around its body, binding the demon so tightly that it couldn't move a single step!
Those retreating youths stared in shock at the scene before them.
The movements of those humanoid vines were clumsy, yet effective in stopping the demons' pursuit.
"What... what is that?" Liu Kai widened his eyes incredulously. He simply couldn't believe what he was looking at.
"Are they tree-men? Those are tree-men? Why are they helping us?" A member of the red team was staring in happy amazement.
The tree-men were mythical creatures. Legend had it they were plants that had transformed into cognizant beings. But no one had ever seen them before.
Ji Fengyan looked at the suddenly excited youths."Those are not tree-men."
The crowd turned in wonderment toward Ji Fengyan.
"Don't bother with what they are. You won't be able to escape if you don't leave now." Ji Fengyan urged.
Hearing Ji Fengyan's words, the youths realized they were still in danger.
Without another care about what those things were, the bunch of youths immediately followed Ji Fengyan toward the safety of the woods!
More than a hundred humanoid vines had a batch of demons all trussed up. The remaining demons continued their pursuit, but it had greatly decreased their numbers.
The hitherto exhausted youths used every last ounce of strength to burrow their way into the woods. Having finally entered the forest after much effort, they met yet another batch of demons closing in.
Ji Fengyan glanced over with a frown. She reached into her bag for another handful of beans and scattered them behind her!
The beans sprouted as they hit the ground, and dozens of humanoid vines emerged.
This time, the fleeing youths clearly understood what had happened.
Nevertheless, before they could react, Ji Fengyan shouted, "Let's climb up that tree!"
With that, Ji Fengyan scurried up a large tree nearby. The others followed suit.
After everyone had climbed up, Ji Fengyan split opened the recently-healed wound on her palm. Red blood dripped from her hands.
Ji Fengyan squeezed that hand so that more blood trickled from her palm onto the ground beneath.
The fresh blood dribbled onto the green grass and seeped into the earth.
The youths hiding on that tree dared not even breathe out loud. They just stared anxiously at the entanglement between the demons and the humanoid vines.
The humanoid vines moved very slowly, but they were extremely tenacious. The demons bit and tore at the figures, ripping off huge pieces of vine. Nonetheless, the bean-heads would quickly proliferate even more vines and swiftly patch up the shredded parts.
Despite numbering only half of the demons, those humanoid vines had steadfastly choked up their movements. Demonic howls reverberated throughout the entire forest.
