What was more, the humans on those trunks were curiously inspecting their surroundings. Newly born as they were, they seemed curious about everything. Holy shit, they'd straight-up become sentient, hadn't they?!?
Counting them, there were no fewer than three hundred.
What was more, without exception, every one of these treefolk eventually turned their gaze toward Jiu Ming and Haruhi. Uh... suddenly, he had a very bad feeling about this!
Sure enough, the next moment, these treefolk actually began shrinking down, truly turning into "tree people"!!
"Aha! Now that's more like it. How can faces growing on tree trunks count as tree people?" Haruhi laughed, pointing at a "herself" not far in front of her—one with the same face as her, except its hair and body were entwined with vines and green leaves.
These tree people had copied their appearances, but—ah!! This already counted as monsters, didn't it?!
Jiu Ming stood there with his mouth open, staring at Haruhi for a while before glancing up at the sky. Say, with this kind of "species" invasion, wouldn't this world simply send down heavenly tribulation?
The sky was clear and cloudless. It didn't look as though heavenly tribulation was on the way.
Heh heh heh heh...
"Stop!! Two appearances are too few!" With a wave of her little hand, Haruhi stopped the remaining small number of tree people from transforming. Pulling out her phone, she said, "Kyonko isn't here, so we won't use them. Mm-hm, come on, come on, use this Ninth Sister as reference..." Jiu Ming covered his mouth and coughed painfully off to the side, doing his best to divert his attention—say, to this band of crippled bandits thrown together in a heap. "You've committed evil after evil, so how about sending you all to prison?"
The bandits immediately began wailing.
