Qin Xiao hurriedly shouted incoherently, calling out the names of everyone in the Guardians of the Galaxy except Rocket.
But Little Groot didn't react at all.
As the branch climbed higher and higher, it touched his neck.
Qin Xiao quickly mobilized the power within his body, but all that appeared was a small flame the size of a lighter above his head.
Although it was only a tiny flame, it gave Little Groot a big fright.
The branch suddenly retracted to its foot, and after standing up, it jumped backward, its eyes filled with a hint of fear, looking curiously at the small flame above Qin Xiao's head.
"That's right. Let's be friendly. You see, you're the tree, and I'm the fire. Keeping some distance is better for both of us, isn't it?"
Qin Xiao kept his body still, slowly gathering his strength, while his eyes darted towards Little Groot, giving him a meaningful look.
"I am Groot!"
Finally, Little Groot spoke his first words.
"You agree with me, right? Hey! What are you doing?"
Before Qin Xiao could finish speaking, Little Groot stood up and took two steps toward the top of Qin Xiao's head.
Then she took a deep breath, pouted, and looked at the small flame above Qin Xiao's head.
Whew!
This breath took all of Groot's strength; he simply couldn't manage it, his body was just too small.
He gripped the ground with both feet, clenched his fists tightly, and blew out a big breath, extinguishing Qin Xiao's flame.
He must have blown too hard and was a little short of oxygen. He shook his little head and opened his mouth to say his second sentence.
"I am Groot!" (Joyful)
Then he started the action of turning his feet into tree branches again.
Qin Xiao resigned himself to his fate; in truth, Groot posed no real threat to him.
However, Qin Xiao really liked this miniature Little Groot and didn't want to kill it right away, so he couldn't control his strength properly.
Secondly, I was afraid of exerting myself again, which would mean lying in this unknown place for a long time, and who knows what strange dangers and creatures might be lurking around.
Just as Qin Xiao's muscles tensed, waiting to half-get up and give Groot a good whack.
The branch extending from Groot's foot only pricked Qin Xiao's neck briefly before retracting.
Qin Xiao had initially thought Groot was going to strangle him, but it turned out he had only pricked him once, though it seemed like he was using a lot of force.
However, this amount of force was not enough to break Qin Xiao's defenses.
"I am Groot!"
Little Groot tilted his head in confusion.
Then, to Qin Xiao's bewildered gaze, the branches on his feet began to intertwine and rotate, eventually turning the extension of his feet into the tip of a wooden spear.
"Ah!!!"
This time, instead of saying "I am Groot," I let out a childish cry to encourage myself.
He braced himself with both hands on the ground, raised the spear from his leg, and slashed it hard at Qin Xiao's neck.
Not even a trace was left.
"Ah!!!"
The second time, Qin Xiao rolled his eyes.
The result was the same; with all his might, he only managed to dent the skin on Qin Xiao's neck a little, without even leaving a white mark.
The third time, the fourth time.
Little Groot, persistent as ever, tried countless times, until Qin Xiao was too lazy to even count the number of times he had poked him.
Finally, with a 'snap', one of the thinner branches on the spear made of tree branches gave way and broke off.
"Ugh~ Ahhh!!!"
She plopped down on the ground and started wailing, tears streaming down her large, black eyes.
"Well!"
Qin Xiao looked into those big eyes and sighed softly.
After being poked by Little Groot for so long, Qin Xiao finally understood what he wanted to do.
"It must have been tough for you. This place doesn't even have a decent patch of soil. It's a good idea for you to insert tree roots into your flesh to absorb nutrients, but first, I'm alive; second, you've chosen the wrong target. Even if I were dead, you probably couldn't poke me."
"Ah!!!!!"
Hearing Qin Xiao's words, Little Groot cried even more bitterly.
The little hand gestured to the left, then to the right, and then to its own stomach, becoming more and more upset with each gesture.
The tears rolled down faster and faster, and the sobs grew increasingly mournful.
Qin Xiao tried hard to recall the movie; Groot should also be able to eat normally.
My body has recovered a bit by now. I can move around a little without much trouble. I might not be able to walk yet, but I can take things out without any problem.
With a wave of his hand, as if by magic, a piece of chocolate about the size of Groot appeared in his hand.
"Ugh~~~~~~ Hmm!"
The crying Groot was immediately drawn to their attention.
She wanted to reach out and take it to check the injury on her foot, but she was a little hesitant. She could only stare at Qin Xiao with her big, watery eyes and an innocent expression.
Facing the little guy who seemed to have just stabbed himself with a tree root, Qin Xiao inexplicably couldn't bring himself to be angry.
The key is that pair of big, pure black eyes are so irresistible, and coupled with her tiny body that's only a few dozen centimeters long, it's so cute that you can't help but feel sorry for her.
Here, have some!
"Am I Groot?" (Question)
Qin Xiao sensed his emotions.
"That's right, it's for you, eat it!"
After receiving Qin Xiao's repeated affirmation, Little Groot finally took the chocolate, which was almost as tall as him, and began to devour it.
Even when Qin Xiao reached out to pat his little head halfway through, he didn't bother to resist or express any opinions, his entire attention was focused on Chocolate.
In no time, it had finished off a chocolate bar the same size as itself.
My stomach didn't change at all, and I had no idea where all the food went.
However, Qin Xiao noticed that his skin seemed to have become more radiant.
Qin Xiao then took out a small bottle of juice.
This time, the light in Groot's eyes was even brighter.
Without saying a word, I picked him up and started cuddling him.
Groot drank more than half the bottle before letting out a satisfied burp.
Then a tiny, clover-like food slowly emerged from the top of his hollowed-out head.
This child must have been hungry and thirsty for so long, because after eating and drinking just one meal, hair has grown back.
Qin Xiao sighed and tried to get up. He could walk slowly without any problem, but he would feel slightly dizzy if he moved too suddenly.
I tested the energy within my body, but I still couldn't use the energy of the Infinity Stones, although the flames had grown a bit larger.
It seems that I should be fine after finding a quiet place to rest for a day or two.
Weiwei sat up slightly and watched Little Groot, who was full and licking his juice from the bottle, taking sips here and there.
Qin Xiao initially wanted to ask where this place was, but after thinking about it, he gave up and decided to focus on recovering first and ask someone himself.
" Groot, is this your home? Or where do you usually rest or sleep? I need a place to rest. If you take me there, I have plenty of food."
Qin Xiao pulled out a lollipop and tempted Groot like a creepy old man.
He lured Groot home to rest by offering him food, and casually stuffed a lollipop into Groot's mouth.
Place the little guy on your shoulder to guide him.
Qin Xiao began walking in the direction Groot had indicated.
Along the way, the terrain remained like a desert or Gobi, with yellowish-brown rocky ground. Unlike the pure darkness and desolation of the Dark World, this place felt more lifeless.
It was like a dead world.
What kind of place is this?
Following Groot's directions, Qin Xiao crossed a small hill and was surprised to find that Groot hadn't come on foot, but had a means of transportation.
A pink toy convertible car, about 1.5 meters long and half a meter wide.
It's the kind you see in toy stores, but this one looks a bit bigger, better made, and belongs to the higher-end category.
"I am Groot!"
The little guy jumped off Qin Xiao's lap, patted the small seat in the car, and said...
Qin Xiao clicked his Delia.
The seat was small, but he could squeeze in front of him; he was just afraid that if he sat down, he would wreck the car.
"I am Groot!"
The little guy patted the car seat again.
"Okay, but don't blame me if you break it!"
Qin Xiao felt it was appropriate for a guest to follow the host's lead, so he curled up on top of him, hugging his knees.
Once I sat down, I realized this car was really different from what I had imagined. Could it be the car of some small alien race? But to be honest, it looks too much like a car on Earth.
Qin Xiao didn't think much of it. There are countless civilizations in the universe, and the shape of the vehicle doesn't prove anything; there are many similar things.
Besides, there are several buttons on the vehicle that clearly don't use Earth technology.
As long as it's not a real toy car.
But Qin Xiao was curious about how Groot drove the car. Even if the car was relatively small, Groot couldn't possibly reach it; he was barely bigger than a fist.
Groot refused Qin Xiao's offer to carry him into the car, instead stretching out his hands which transformed into long tree branches and vines, gripping the steering wheel which was larger than himself, and leaping onto it.
Immediately, vines sprouted from his hands and feet, corresponding to the accelerator, brake, and steering wheel under his feet, respectively. Several branches and vines also branched out, creating a tall frame under his buttocks.
Seeing the road ahead clearly, Qin Xiao gave the little guy a thumbs-up, exclaiming, "Amazing!"
The little guy, looking quite smug, said, "I am Groot."
Then it activated a button that was supposed to be the start button.
Qin Xiao felt a slight tremor coming from below him.
As the vines beneath Groot trembled, the car suddenly accelerated, nearly throwing Qin Xiao out of the vehicle.
Based on Qin Xiao's experience, this thing that looked like a toy car could accelerate to at least 100 miles per hour in at least a second.
"If you were on Earth, I guarantee you wouldn't pass your driving test!"
Qin Xiao shouted loudly into the howling wind.
There were no signs of human construction here, so the ground was naturally uneven, and the bumpy ride made Qin Xiao feel slightly dizzy again.
I was going to ask Groot to slow down a bit, but then I thought better of it. Even if he slowed down, the ride would still be bumpy, so I figured I might as well get there faster.
Feeling really dizzy is better than being slowly boiled like a frog in water.
With these thoughts in mind, Qin Xiao sat in the car, hugging his knees and frowning.
Little Groot was quite understanding. Seeing that Qin Xiao seemed unwell, he pressed a button, hoping to use music to help Qin Xiao relax.
A small branch appeared on the vine gripping the steering wheel and pressed a small button next to Qin Xiao.
result...
My father's father is called Grandpa...
"Holy shit...%￥#&(*...%￥#...)"
The music that was played almost made Qin Xiao jump up and down.
