The Plant Master Becomes A Mute Sub-Beast: Farming And Laying Eggs

Chapter 180: Chapter 180: Chaos

Thanks to the powerful Magical Energy infused into it, Ryder’s spiritual body in the dimension was no longer fading; on the contrary, it gradually became brighter.

The crystal grew brighter and brighter, and it ultimately emitted a blinding light. The ground in the dimension shook violently, massive cracks gradually spread, and after that, a pitch-black spiral vortex appeared. All the plants, the spiritual spring, the rocks and soil... including both the crystal and Ryder were sucked into the vortex.

That was not all; the space right next to where Sane placed Ryder also suddenly manifested a pitch-black spiral vortex, and it swept all six people, including three adults and three children, inside.

Aaron stood nearby, panicked, and grabbed Draven’s leg, and his body was immediately sucked into the vortex as well. Evan grabbed Aaron’s leg, several other team members jumped up and grabbed Evan’s leg, and then a few more team members grabbed the legs of their teammates. In the blink of an eye, nearly one hundred people from Crimson were swept into the vortex.

While the others still wanted to continue rushing up to pull them back, the vortex suddenly disappeared. A pile of people fell on top of each other like dominoes, and the scene was a chaotic mess.

At the Temple, Edward was focusing on memorizing the operation of the mechanisms that the Temple Master had executed, and he suddenly felt his heart skip a beat. His breathing lost its rhythm slightly, drawing the Temple Master’s attention for a moment. He hurriedly sent his consciousness into his personal dimension, and he was so fast that the Temple Master thought he was hallucinating.

The Temple Master flipped the little snake left and right to examine him, but he did not discover anything unusual. Edward breathed a sigh of relief, let himself wake up again, and memorized the final stretch of the path.

Wofu weakly opened his eyes, saw the Temple Master walking over carrying the rattan basket containing Edward, and felt extremely puzzled in his heart. This Evil God brought Edward along every time he came, and Wofu did not know what the purpose was. The Evil God could not do anything to the little boy anyway, right?

Actually, the Temple Master himself did not know why he did that; his reason told him that he had to place these two close to each other to obtain what he wanted.

In fact, this was the mutual attraction of the Space attribute. For example, initially, Edward was still in the egg and was attracted by the spatial energy of the comatose Wofu, and they combined to tear through space and travel to the Northern Continent. If Edward knew that it was only because he crept close to Wofu to leech some energy that the uncle and nephew appeared in the Northern Continent, he would definitely find a way to travel back in time to beat himself to death.

Or, for example, the resonance dimension of him and Ryder. His spatial energy clung to every grain of wood in the bamboo nest, which was why Ryder was attracted by this energy source and opened the resonance dimension.

Therefore, everything had its reason; it was not natural that they could combine with each other so perfectly.

A new round of torture took place again, and Edward stood and watched with a cold face, memorizing every single whip strike.

At the same time, the disappearance of more than a hundred Crimson people, including the four most important leaders and three younglings, caused a considerable uproar. Chief Cinder had to step up to stabilize the order. The vice-captains who were not swept away immediately summoned the messenger falcons. That very night, the messenger falcons carrying the information about the Chief, the Priest, and the two captains split into two paths and delivered it to the hands of those who needed to receive it.

Anthony and Walter received the news first and split up to take action. Walter immediately led the archer team back to Cinder. Anthony stayed behind to stabilize the road-building crew and also restrained the inappropriate thoughts of some individuals.

Three days later, Nordhal and Zale finally received the news from the messenger falcons and immediately convened an emergency meeting.

Chapman’s Team 3 mainly consisted of scouts, and Zale sent them to station at the roads that anyone wanting to pass through the magical beast forest had to take.

"Christian, you will temporarily take over the authority to mobilize Team 4’s warriors and coordinate with Team 3’s scouts. Additionally, you will separate a small squad and assign them the task of monitoring the situation in the South and inside the tribe, especially the hired workers and the slaves, to prevent anyone from fishing in troubled waters."

"Nordhal, you will send one-third of Team 1’s beastman warriors and one-third of Team 10’s Divine Energy warriors to Cinder to reinforce Quinlan. Theron, you will send a team to support Oleck and Mossi in reinforcing the defensive walls, and another team to support Cassian in urgently manufacturing long-range weapons."

"Sorin’s Team 8 has been out following Asher for quite a long time, and we do not know where they have gone, so it is inconvenient to call them back. Everyone will self-assign warriors from your own teams to fill the gap of Team 8."

"Sir Collins, Sir Nyx, both Asher and Draven are not in the tribe, so I have to trouble you to step forward and manage the military medic group, intensifying the collection and preparation of necessary medicinal herbs. Besides strengthening defenses, the teams must also increase coordination training, raising the synergy between the warriors to the maximum level. In the near future, we will probably have to face one or an alliance of strong tribes, so we need to prepare very thoroughly and try to keep casualties to the lowest possible minimum."

"Especially, the disappearance of the Chief and the Priest is absolutely not allowed to be leaked even a little bit; you cannot speak of it even to your trusted confidants, to prevent our internal ranks from collapsing on their own before the outside even attacks."

Everyone voiced their agreement in unison, and they then immediately dispersed to work. Zale rubbed his aching temples and secretly wondered which nerve of his had short-circuited previously for him to accept this Vice Chief position. Damn it, now the time to go home and hug his wife and children was also completely stripped away!

While Zale was harboring resentment in the tribe, the sources of the uproar were all slowly waking up from their dizziness.

The more than one hundred people from the Crimson tribe had just experienced a space tornado that tore apart the sky and earth, and at this moment, they were scattered everywhere in a strange piece of heaven and earth, which was filled with giant and lush exotic flowers and plants.

Because the suction force of the vortex was too strong and chaotic, except for the people who desperately clung tightly to each other without letting go while in the courtyard, the vast majority were separated, and each person fell into a different corner of the strange forest.

The sunlight in this place was not as harsh as in the Cinder tribe, but it carried a gentle and warm golden color like the early morning sunlight. The surrounding air was so thick with pure spiritual energy that just taking a deep breath made every nerve in the body feel as if it was washed, inducing a strangely refreshing sensation.

On a soft grassy patch at the edge of the forest, Kaelen and Sane lay leaning against each other beneath the canopy of a giant pale purple flower tree.

Thanks to his robust physique, Sane was the first person to wake up. The moment his consciousness recovered, Sane’s entire body tensed up, and his vigilant instincts heightened to the maximum level. He sprang up, narrowed his silver-gray eyes sharply to sweep a glance around, and released a stream of suppressive pressure that caused several brilliantly glowing butterflies fluttering around the two of them to instantly halt in mid-air, then dissipate into the air like fine dust.

Several gentle herbivores nearby also trembled and collapsed to their knees, and they pressed their heads close to the ground.

Sane confirmed that there were no dangerous magical beasts around, and then he bent down to carefully check Kaelen, who was lying in his arms. Kaelen’s breathing was very steady, and his complexion was rosy. Only then did Sane feel the thick strands of spiritual energy pouring into his own body and his mate’s body, and it seemed that they were automatically permeating their bodies, helping them replenish the lost Magical Energy.

"Kaelen... Kaelen, wake up quickly." Sane gently patted Kaelen’s cheek, and his hoarse voice carried a bit of worry.

Kaelen frowned and slowly opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was Sane looking at him with a face full of worry. He relied on Sane’s supporting force and slowly sat up. The strange scenery of flowers and plants in front of his eyes made him stare blankly for a few seconds:

"Where is this place? Why is that mushroom as big as a mountain? And also, is that purple flower glowing???" Kaelen asked in bewilderment, but he only received a head shake from Sane. It made sense, as neither of them had ever seen such a scene before. Even Kaelen, who had lived for hundreds of years in a magical world, had never seen it, so how could a person born and raised in the beastman world like Sane know?

After the moments of blank staring, Kaelen’s expression suddenly changed. He searched around in a panic:

"Where is Ryder? And Oliver and Finnick too? Where did the children go?!"

Sane immediately grabbed Kaelen’s shoulders and forced him to calm down: "Kaelen! Calm down. I also do not know where our children are, but I remember seeing Chloe enlarge her body to envelop the children inside before we fell comatose. With Chloe’s protection, the children will probably be fine."

Kaelen burst into tears: "It is all my fault, I was the one who brought up that stupid idea. Ryder must have suffered some stimulation to become like that. It is entirely my fault!"

Sane immediately held Kaelen’s face, forced Kaelen to look up at him, and said in a stern voice:

"Kaelen, you need to calm down for me. The thing we need to do now is not to investigate whose fault it is, but to go find the children and everyone else, and then find a way to return. Our sudden disappearance like this will definitely cause quite a bit of chaos! Be good, listen to me, and do not cry anymore. Shall we go find our children?"

Kaelen sniffled and tried to swallow his tears, but the tears did not listen to him and kept falling profusely. Sane helplessly hugged Kaelen into his arms, sighed, and said: "Alright then, you can just cry. I am here with you."

Kaelen immediately hugged Sane and burst out crying loudly. His crying attracted the curiosity of a few small squirrels. They hugged pinecones, scurried over with pattering steps, and stood not far away to peek at the two of them.

The squirrels finished peeking, then gathered their heads together, squeaked to discuss something, and then dispersed, climbing up the trees and swinging away from branch to branch.

A moment later, a pinecone was thrown between Kaelen and Sane, and it landed neatly on Kaelen’s stomach. Next was another one, then two more... A rain of pinecones fell competitively from the sky and almost buried the two of them alive.

Kaelen had his attention drawn by this incident and even forgot to cry. He stared blankly at the swarm of squirrels standing all over the branches of the ancient trees, then looked at Sane who was equally bewildered, completely not understanding what was happening.

Kaelen saw the alpha squirrel raise a pinecone again to continue throwing, and seeing that they were about to receive a new rain of pinecones, Kaelen hurriedly shouted:

"Enough, enough! Do not throw anymore!"

Strangely, the alpha squirrel seemed to understand his words, lowered its paws, and used both paws to hug the pinecone against its chest. The swarm of squirrels seemed to receive some invisible command, hugged their pinecones against their chests together, and achieved a synchronization like a professionally trained army.

Kaelen pushed away the pile of pinecones covering half the bodies of the couple, and then he stumbled to his feet with Sane’s help.

The alpha squirrel turned around and gave a ’squeak’ to signal its kin, and then they immediately jumped down from the trees and stood in neat rows in front of the two men.

The alpha squirrel gave another squeak, and the entire swarm of squirrels immediately straightened their tails up and bowed their heads in greeting.

Sane and Kaelen: "..."

What kind of situation was this?
