Traveling through ancient times to survive

Little Green had seen the willow tree's mood swings, and it cautiously echoed, "That's right, senior. We are creatures that can develop intelligence and practice at an early age. We are the chosen ones of heaven. How can humans be worthy of commanding us? We are just newly enlightened and don't know anything, so this human took advantage of us."

The willow tree was satisfied: "It's good that you think this way. We are the new masters of this world, and humans are only worthy of being our food!"

Xiaolu acted like a junior and started to ask some questions.

"Senior, why are you so sure? I'm not speaking for them, I'm just worried. What if there are humans who have evolved in the same way as us? They are intelligent, and we have to admit that humans are better at scheming than us. There are not many of our kind. I followed this human for a long way, and you are the only plant that has developed intelligence."

Willow: "You are worrying too much. Humans have been abandoned by the world. They will never evolve with us. As for your worry that humans will play tricks, that is even more impossible. Under the absolute strength, no tricks will work."

Upon hearing this secret, Zhao Qing's pupils shrank sharply. No wonder she had not seen any evolved humans along the way. She used to be able to comfort herself by saying that she had not seen enough samples, but now she could no longer deceive herself.

"Humans have been abandoned by the world? How do you know?" Xiaolu asked with great discerning eyes.

"It doesn't matter how I know it. You have to believe that this is the fact. As a fellow human being, I won't lie to you." The willow tree was mysterious. When it came to studying the human body, no one in the world knew more about it than it did. It had long discovered that humans had no organs to receive external spiritual energy, unlike plants and animals, who were only sensitive or insensitive to spiritual energy, not unable to feel it.

In comparison, the only advantage of humans is their wisdom. Unfortunately, the creatures that have awakened their intelligence are catching up with humans at a rapid pace, while humans are still killing each other, complacent with their former status as masters.

Just like the group of people who are cooperating with it now, they can push their own kind to become their food for their own selfish reasons. How cruel! Such insidious, vicious and unrighteous despicable creatures are a waste of air if they are alive.

Xiaolu suddenly realized: "I see, Senior, you also said that humans are not worthy of being compared with us, but I see that you get along well with those bandits?"

"Hahaha!" The willow tree laughed triumphantly. "Little vine, you are still too naive. Don't you think these humans are still very useful? I don't even need to coerce or bribe them. They will take the initiative to offer their own kind as food. Why should I miss the opportunity to eat for free?"

The willow tree's contemptuous and arrogant voice came, and Zhao Qing, who was standing aside, stiffened her fists when she heard it. She decided to wait until Xiaolu finished talking. This willow tree would definitely not survive, not even a god could help!

"Ah??? Are these people crazy? I've learned some of their ideas from the humans around me. In their eyes, we are monsters, and humans have always treated monsters in a way that they either eradicate them or stay away from them. How could they be willing to take the initiative to worship you?" Xiaolu pretended to be stunned by the shock.

"Do you think they are fools? Why are they willing to serve me? It's because I can help them control people and sometimes even provide thugs. Of course they don't want to give up." Liu Shu snorted coldly, completely looking down on the bandits who would sell out everything for a little bit of profit.

Xiaolu was curious: "I see, but why do they want to control people?"

"This is not a secret. I heard that there is something called an iron mine in this mountain. Many humans were controlled and dug stones in the mountain day and night. Even I admire this. When it comes to torturing people, humans are the best!"

As Willow was talking, he began to sigh again. He had seen many bodies of miners who died of exhaustion. The humans said that they were waste and carried them over to feed it. Compared with the energy of a normal person, the miners had less than half, but a little bit adds up to a lot, so it didn't mind.

The fire of anger in Zhao Qing's heart was about to soar to the sky. The willow monster spoke in a nice way, as if all the evil was done by humans themselves and it was just providing help.

But if it didn't say it, who would know that it could control humans? It just wanted a lot of blood and then hit it off with those bandits.

When the controlled humans died of exhaustion, it got the corpses and the bandits got the iron ore.

What a bunch of inhuman beasts! No, calling them beasts is an insult to them.

Little Green felt a chill all over his body. He knew that his master was about to lose patience and he had to get something out of him as soon as possible.

"Senior, humans are really too abominable. Let's not talk about them. You said you can control humans. Are they the ones I met before? They are tireless and not afraid of pain. They only know how to obey orders. And the six corpses around me? Are they corpses? Senior, your ability has evolved too much. I can't catch up with you even if I try my best. I can only make my body bigger or smaller. Compared with you, I am really useless!"

The willow tree was so proud to be praised by its own kind. Ever since it gained intelligence, it had only been facing ant-like humans. It finally met its own kind with which it could communicate, but found that they were just like it and were no match for itself.

"You don't have to belittle yourself. Keep evolving and you can become a regional lord in the future."

Xiaolu sighed, and then her voice was filled with longing and admiration as she praised the willow tree loudly.

"Alas, I originally thought I was very powerful, but after seeing you, Senior, I realized that there are always people who are better than you. Can you open my eyes and let me see how powerful the Domain Lord is?"

"How difficult is this?" Willow said proudly, "I'll just demonstrate it once, little vine, open your eyes and watch carefully."

All the branches of the willow tree began to move like snakes. The remaining dozen or so gods on the top of the tree landed at the same time. The calm land began to shake wildly, like a crumpled paper, and something seemed to be about to break out from under the soil.

Zhao Qing could hardly stand. Together with the previous six, there were more than twenty gods' messengers in total. Also, the resilient willow branches and the roots in the soil all attacked Zhao Qing and Xiaolu mercilessly.

The little green creature, which was originally only one meter long, suddenly grew in size and blocked all attacks.

"Little vine, how did you find out?" came the willow's questioning voice.

"Humph! I'm not a fool. You're really not picky at all, even swallowing human corpses which have no energy at all. And my powerful energy is like a panacea delivered to your lips. Are you willing to let it go?" Xiaolu stopped pretending and his voice became cold.
