Saving the Village Chief

The strange tree squirmed somewhat uncomfortably, feeling as though the giant white bug inside its body was still there.

Its branches curled around the electric drill, wanting to drill a little more.

Then it remembered that Jiang You had just spent money on it. Now that she had, it played games as if aided by the gods and simply could not bear to put down the game console in its hands.

Jiang You did not leave either. She stayed beside the strange tree for several days, waiting for Red Eye to emerge.

If she did not keep an eye on him, the old rat would certainly hide somewhere the moment he came out.

During this time, the game-addicted strange tree finally found a gaming partner. Although there were not many games it could still play, everything was fun to a strange tree that had endured countless years of loneliness in the Abyss.

At this point, it had yet to experience the joy of team battles. Once it did, it would truly discover an entirely new world.

One day half a month later, the strange tree cursed furiously while playing a game.

"Hopeless, absolutely hopeless! It was clearly behind you! Are you blind?!"

"No, there's an ambush! Run!"

"This is bad, this is bad! It's caught up! No!!!"

"..."

As its enormous trunk twisted, a huge white sac suddenly squeezed out from a crack in the strange tree's bark. Something inside was moving.

The sac looked like a semitransparent eggshell membrane. The thing inside could be seen indistinctly, but it was clearly a humanoid figure struggling within.

Soon, a pair of thick hands tore through the sac's membrane, and a humanoid figure covered in bluish-gray soft armor crawled out.

The layers of soft armor resembled the scales on a pangolin's back.
