An isolated island in an aquarium world.

With the first person choosing to become a tree person, there will naturally be a second one.

Life is great and can create miracles.

Life is also very weak, appearing small and powerless in front of nature and the world.

In such a cruel and harsh environment, there are still some people who cannot hold on anymore. Compared with the torture of illness, they cannot see a hopeful future.

Perhaps, becoming a tree is not unacceptable.

One night.

A male snake man with a skinny body but a high bulge like a ball on his abdomen quietly stood up.

He passed between the beds and left the cave alone amidst painful groans and breathless breathing.

Under the moonlight.

He twisted his tail, almost crawling sideways, getting closer to the bloody vortex in the distance.

The tall trees stood beside the scarlet vortex, and the light refracted made the surrounding ground look bloody.

He crawled across the ground little by little, and finally arrived at the bloody whirlpool waterfront.

On the flowing water, through the moonlight, he could faintly see his deeply sunken face.

Reflecting the red light, it looks like a ghostly skeleton.

He raised his head.

He looked at the only tree in the world.

On the tree, he saw a face slowly moving, looking at him with a slightly calm and dull face.

The two of them didn't say anything, they both knew what was about to happen.

After a while, I heard the sound of something heavy falling into the water.

"Plop."

Looking over again, there was no trace left next to the bloody whirlpool.

Early the next morning, the entire living cave was immediately awakened by a sharp sound.

"Tree!"

"One more tree."

A group of people got up and came to the cave and looked into the distance.

Under the early morning sun, a second tree was erected on the edge of the bloody vortex. Everyone could probably understand what was happening.

The second officer, the "dwarf", was also standing among the crowd, looking at the tree.

"Go and have a look."

He immediately led the crowd to lift a canvas and came to the foot of the tree.

At this time, someone came over tightly wrapped in a cloak and told the "dwarf" to the second officer.

"The lookout hand is gone, and there are worms in his stomach, but we have no cure."

"He said yesterday that he would rather become a tree than live like this."

When everyone raised their heads again, they found a lookout glass hanging on the branch of the tree.

Everything is self-evident.

Everyone looked at each other, as if they wanted to say something to each other.

And this time.

The lookout hand that had just turned into a tree man suddenly moved.

This movement immediately attracted everyone's attention and interrupted their intention to speak.

What originally looked like a tangled knot of trees moved little by little and turned into a face.

It has eyes on its face and its mouth opens to speak.

I don't know if it's because he changed into another life form. Although his voice is still very similar to before, the rhythm always feels much slower and the emotion has become much more indifferent.

"I don't have to eat, I don't feel hungry, I feel very warm."

"My roots will draw energy from the water, and my body will not be afraid of the sun's burning."

"This bloody red sea will swallow up the life forms in the sea and turn them into blood that can supply us and keep us alive."

The Scarlet Sea was the first time they heard this name.

Although, it is still far from being called a sea.

After saying that, the tree man slowly closed his eyes again.

Just when everyone was about to say something else, the tree man suddenly opened his eyes again, as if he suddenly remembered something, and added something loudly.

"Only extraordinary people can become tree people."

This sound startled everyone.

Under the tree, everyone looked at the tree man, worried that he would suddenly startle everyone by speaking again, and there was silence for a long time.

But then, there was no sound.

In the end, it was the second mate, the "dwarf", who spoke first and asked the new tree man.

"Hello!"

"Lookout hand."

"What do you mean when you say that only extraordinary people can become tree people?"

The tree man squinted his eyes, looking very sleepy.

"Yes, Lord Briman told me."

"Treants are a special extraordinary species, and only extraordinary platinum trees can survive the life-burning sun."

"Only can we stand under the sun of the ancient times."

No matter how much he yelled, he didn't want to say anything more.

Everyone was confused, this was not the lookout hand in their eyes: "I remember, wasn't he a guy who said he didn't need to sleep and was as energetic as a machine?"

People who know him well also nodded: "Why do you become like an old man?"

Everyone felt inexplicable fear about this change: "Is this guy really the same person as before?"

Same as the other tree man.

If not necessary, they prefer to sleep.

This is not their original character, but the characteristics brought about by this new body.

Sometimes the intelligent species is like a slave locked in a body, ordered and driven by the body.

And we don’t resist it, we even enjoy it.

Another day has passed.

I don't know when, next to the bloody whirlpool, there was another tree.

A large number of figures stood at the entrance of the cave, guessing who it was. Some people set out to check.

There were also extremely weak people leaning on the wall, looking at the tree standing on the shore.

Not a word came out of his mouth, but he stood motionless for a long time.

like.

It also became like a tree.

Although everyone said that the life form of the tree people was too scary and they did not want to become like that, but that was only when the body was still really intact and they had not really fallen into despair.

When the moment of trial and choice comes, even if it is just a straw floating on the water, the drowning person will cling to it as if he has given up everything.

Even if it is a drop of poisonous water, they will lick it up like a lost traveler in the desert.

At night, someone heard the sound of getting up.

This is not surprising, but the strange thing is that the sound is heading in the direction of the door.

"Swish!"

The second officer, the "dwarf", also noticed the movement. He stood up and looked in the direction of the door.

I saw two snake men supporting me and walking slowly outside.

Of course the "dwarf" understood what they were going to do. He immediately wanted to get out of bed, as if he wanted to stop them.

But after he got up, he didn't move at all.

Just watching the two people walking together towards the scarlet under the moonlight.
