Xia Husheng saw the search and rescue personnel on the periphery. They were in groups of twos and threes, and they seemed to be packing their bags.
Are these people here to rescue me and Ling Zi?
Xia Husheng felt guilty in his heart, but seeing how they were retreating in a hurry, Xia Husheng became suspicious.
Are they giving up on the search and rescue?
Fortunately, they came out early, otherwise it would be too late.
But it shouldn't be, they were only lost for one night, and the rescue in the news should last for several days.
"Hey, I'm here …" Xia Husheng shouted loudly, attracting the attention of the search and rescue personnel.
But the search and rescue personnel who looked up showed an expression as if they saw a ghost, and they ran sideways with a frightened expression.
"Why are you running …"
Before the voice fell from his mouth, Xia Husheng was suddenly grabbed, and his girlfriend fell to the ground.
"Sheng!" Ling Zi fell to the ground, raised her head, and saw a soul-stirring scene.
The tall tree man bent down and grabbed Xia Husheng as if he was scooping up fries.
Looking back at the tree man that grabbed him in the air, Xia Husheng almost peed his pants.
It's over, this time it's really over.
"Creak." The tree man grabbed Xia Husheng and walked a few steps forward.
Through the tree man created by Wood Release, Mizuno looked at Xia Husheng angrily.
It's all this kid's fault for looking for excitement, exposing his carefully arranged Artificial Jinchuriki. Otherwise, Moribe Takeo would be able to run back to Osaka without anyone noticing, and he wouldn't need to play tricks in Jokai Aokigawara.
Only this kid was still like a man, he didn't abandon his girlfriend and run away when he encountered a crisis, this was the only good thing about him.
Mizuno manipulated the tree man to throw Xia Husheng out, and one of his legs heavily hit the ground, and it looked like it was fractured.
"Ah!!" Xia Husheng held his broken leg and screamed.
People like this who run around should have their legs broken!
Anyway, his football level was very poor, even if his leg was broken, it didn't matter, he would use the whole spring break to recuperate and reflect on the brat's behavior!
One, two, three …
More and more tree men ran out of the sea of trees, the search and rescue personnel outside had already run away, only a few brave policemen were hiding behind the car, shivering.
There weren't many of them, only three or four, but in terms of proportion, the courage of the Yamanashi police was comparable to that of the district police.
Six tree men stood outside the forest, and their wooden arms were wrapped with vines and leaves. Their four or five meters tall bodies had a strong sense of oppression, and their thick and solid wooden bodies announced without concealment — the garbage pistols in your hands are useless against me!
The Yamanashi of the police held their breath and took a long time to breathe.
Since it was a Treant, according to the settings of the fantasy works, Treants shouldn't be able to run fast …
This naive thought did not last for more than a few seconds. He saw a Treant suddenly walk. The way it walked was obviously not inferior to the running of a human, and because it was a four to five meters tall giant, every step it took was especially wide.
In a few breaths, the tree men suddenly grabbed Xia Husheng who was moaning in pain on the ground.
People like Xia Husheng were probably the standard brat when they were young, people disliked and even dogs disliked.
"Sage, let go of him, let go of Sage." Lingzi's face was full of tears. She looked like the heroine of justice in the movies.
Mizuno, who was controlling the tree men from afar, was speechless. Why did it make him look like a big villain, he didn't really want to kill this crazy brat.
"It's okay, Lingzi, you, run."
"Ah!"
Mizuno couldn't help but tighten his grip on Xia Husheng's hand. Were these two putting on a sad play in front of him?
The Yamanashi police also hid beside the car. It was their duty to protect the citizens and young people, but who dared to go forward when there were so many tree men standing in front of them?
Using a lighter to light a cigarette to set them on fire?
"Bang!!"
The rest of the Treants took heavy steps and charged toward the Yamanashi Prefectural Police with unstoppable momentum.
Deep gullies were formed on the ground, and the police car was shaking.
The oppressive feeling instantly shattered their psychological defenses, and they scattered in all directions without even firing a shot.
To be able to last until now, they were already worthy of the salary that the government gave them.
A Treant raised its left hand high up, and the brown wood split into twisted and tangled tough tentacles. After the pitiful police car was clamped, it let out a mournful sound of steel, and the whole car was crushed into scrap metal.
"Bang!!"
Mizuno used the cutting technique, and a thick wooden spear pierced through the police car, nailing it to the ground.
Herding sheep!
A magical scene of herding sheep appeared outside of Jokai Aokigawara. The rescue team and the Yamanashi police were like a herd of sheep without a leader, and the six wooden men that Mizuno transformed into were the wolves that herded the sheep.
From the outskirts of Aokigawara to the highway, and from the highway to the community.
Outside of Jokai Aokigawara was Mingze Village, a village that relied on tourism for generations to survive. Since ancient times, Mount Fuji had been the holy land of the Island nation. Even in the less prosperous ancient times, nobles and merchants liked to travel to Mount Fuji.
"Hey, isn't that Yamada and the others? Why are they in such a panic?"
An elderly villager was resting in front of his family's homestay. Before he had time to experience the wonders of nature, he saw Yamada and a few of his colleagues running out of the forest in a panic.
His family's homestay was the one closest to Jokai Aokigawara. The old man was not very interested in the world's famous suicide mecca.
To him, the so-called Jokai Aokigawara was just a forest that he had lived in for decades. There was nothing strange about it.
Yamada was a few years younger than him, and he was also a villager of Mingze Village. However, unlike most of his peers who chose to inherit the family business, he chose to become a police officer when he was young.
He aspired to become a great politician!
Although he didn't seem to have any great achievements …
"Hey, Yamada, what's the matter? Why are you in such a panic?"
Yamada had gone to the homestay's surveillance camera earlier in the morning. He had heard that a student on vacation had gone missing. This sort of thing happened every few years, and he had long since gotten used to it. Every time he searched for the student, he would always end up with no results. Even if there were some results, he would only find the corpse of a suicide victim. He had never encountered such a thing before.
However, this was the first time he had ever panicked so much. Did he encounter a bear in the forest?
"Yutaro, hurry up and run!"
Yamada was followed by a group of people.
"Why are you running? Even if a bear comes, I'll …"
Yutaro didn't manage to maintain his attitude of a great general who was confident in his victory and had everything under control for too long. His old face scrunched up like tree bark in fear.
He looked exactly the same as the sprinting tree men.
What was following behind Yamada?
A wood demon?
Why did he anger the Mountain God … No, the problem was, how could such a thing exist in this world!?
Yamada's heart trembled when he saw Yutaro's wrinkled face.
Yutaro's face was exactly the same as the tree lines. Was he going to transform into a tree demon?
