Sitting on a wooden stake at the entrance of the plant village, Yang Yu looked at the whitening sky, waiting for the first ray of morning sunlight to shine into the forest.
Before he knew it, Yang Yu had been in the plant village for a week.
After being forced to accept the mission, Yang Yu tried to escape. However, outside the plant village, there were guards at regular intervals. Every time Yang Yu tried to escape, he was caught.
When they were sneaking around for the fifth time, Meiyu.Rose, who was arresting Yang Yu, held her forehead and told Yang Yu not to test their bottom line frantically, otherwise if they caught him again next time, she would just let him move bricks at the construction site without any need to compete.
In view of Meiyu.Rose's extremely genuine attitude, Yang Yu finally gave up on sneaking away from the plant village.
In fact, if the people of the plant tribe really want to find Yang Yu, they will find him soon.
Yang Yu also knew this, and he was just trying to see if he could escape from the plant village if there was no other way.
As it stands, escaping is extremely difficult.
This task of taking the lead is already considered a mandatory task.
If it is not completed, you will never be able to leave the plant village.
Since he didn't have to run away, Yang Yu simply shamelessly went from house to house, collecting information about possible opponents who might attend the competition. He also got a few meals and learned the living habits of the plant tribe, adapting to the local customs.
What surprised Yang Yu was that, apart from having a few plant characteristics on their bodies, ordinary plant species were no different from ordinary people and could not survive by basking in the sun, drinking water, and carrying out photosynthesis.
According to Yang Yu's understanding, even among the superior and rare species, only a very small number can absorb nutrients through photosynthesis, and most plants still absorb food like other animals.
What’s interesting is the children of the plant family. At first glance, they look no different from ordinary human children, except that they have a two-leaf seedling on their heads.
At first Yang Yu thought the sapling was fake, just a decoration, but when he pulled it off, he discovered that the sapling was indeed a part of the child.
The saplings are just like human hair, there is no difference.
There is no problem if they are cut off. The saplings will grow again in a few days.
Seeing these children who were no different from humans, Yang Yu could only sigh inwardly, no wonder plants could be considered a kind of sub-human.
When looking up various materials in the Library of All Things, Yang Yu saw several races that did not look like sub-humans, which were listed in the sub-human chapters of the various race illustrations compiled by the library.
Among the sub-human races, the most prominent one is the dragon race.
That's right.
In this world, powerful creatures like dragons are actually considered sub-human.
And some races that are considered subhuman in other games are not considered subhuman in this world.
For example, goblins, ogres, and the extinct snow girls.
An important basis for distinguishing subhumans from other non-human races is whether two different races can produce offspring with the characteristics of both parents, that is, hybrids.
Races that can produce hybrid offspring with humans are generally classified as sub-humans.
Those who cannot produce offspring with humans or subhumans, or whose offspring only have the appearance of one of them, are classified as non-human races.
For example, a creature like a goblin, no matter what race it mates with, will only give birth to a goblin in the end.
The method of classifying non-human races and sub-human races was known, but Yang Yu did not know who first used this method to distinguish between sub-human and non-human races.
You know, the height differences between many races are so huge that it is hard to imagine how indescribable they are.
When Yang Yu first got the essence of the plant race, he thought that the plant race was completely covered by plants and was closer to a plant race.
When looking up the atlas, Yang Yu was surprised to see that they were classified as sub-humans, and even had some doubts.
But all these doubts have disappeared.
The plants seen by the outside world are basically superior species or rare species, and the inferior species that are no different from ordinary people have always been well protected by them.
The sun rose slowly, breaking the coldness of the early morning. Yang Yu opened the team panel, and the worry that he hadn't seen for a few days appeared on his cheeks again.
After his request for the plant tribe to protect Bai Jin and the others until they reached the village was rejected by the plant tribe, Yang Yu was worried for a long time, thinking that Bai Jin and the others would come to him directly without thinking twice.
However, after staring at his team bar for two or three days and seeing that Bai Jin and the others' status bar had not changed, Yang Yu gradually felt relieved.
Except for the silly Iyas, Bai Jin and Lothkar are both quite smart and should be able to realize that this is a trap.
Therefore, Yang Yu was able to fully prepare for the battle during this week.
At the same time, Yang Yu also inadvertently developed the habit of looking at the team panel every once in a while.
When Yang Yu woke up this morning, he saw that Lotkar's physical strength was constantly depleting, and it was still the same until now.
Yang Yu concluded that it was not Lothcar who was doing morning exercises. If it was Lothcar who was doing morning exercises, it would be impossible for Lothcar to consume so much physical energy.
It was impossible that he was fleeing in panic, because Yang Yu observed for a long time and found that the physical strength consumed by Lothkar basically maintained a constant growth rate.
In addition, Bai Jin and Iyas's status has always been full, without any loss of MP.
The most likely scenario now is that Lothkar drove Bai Jin and the others all the way here.
The Plant Clan’s Autumn Festival and the Silver Fang Clan’s Full Moon Festival are equivalent to the Mid-Autumn Festival in Yang Yu’s memory.
It’s just that different races have different customs.
The Plant Tribe will select the best on this day to gain access to the essence of their race, while the Silver Fang Tribe will hold battle performances to honor their ancestors.
Based on Yang Yu's understanding of the plant tribe, if he really won the championship, the plant tribe would most likely grab his collar with disgust, kick him out, and never want to see him again, instead of sending him back to the Silver Fang tribe's village intact.
With Yang Yu's current speed, it won't be slow for him to return to the Silver Fang Clan's village.
The premise is that Yang Yu will not get lost in the forest, which is too difficult for Yang Yu who does not have a detailed map.
Lothcar couldn't find a way to remove the curse on himself, and without his advice, he would eventually be defeated. Therefore, Lothcar chose to take Bai Jin and the others on the risk.
In Yang Yu's opinion, this is indeed a good idea.
At least, if he were in Lotkar's shoes, he would probably make the same choice as Lotkar.
It’s a pity that Yang Yu is not clear about the distance between the plant tribe’s village and the Silver Fang tribe, and doesn’t know how long it will take Lothkar and the others to reach the plant tribe’s village.
If anyone is to be blamed, it's only him. When the investigation was conducted, it only wrote the main activity range of the plant tribe, but did not specify the specific location of the plant tribe's village.
If he knew the distance between the two places, Yang Yu’s worries would be alleviated somewhat.
