Chapter 13

The pressure on the Rabbit Strategist was immense.

It knew that if this plan didn’t work out well, it might be thrown into the trees by the brutal King to vent his anger; once up the tree... The Rabbit Strategist secretly glanced at the treetop, where humans were eating rabbit "meat" without restraint, almost scared to death.

"Your Majesty..." After a long time, the Rabbit Strategist cautiously said, "Why don’t we cut down the tree..."

The Rabbit King was taken aback: "What the hell, why didn’t you say this earlier if it’s such a good idea!"

"You only asked me just now..." The Rabbit Strategist shouted in its heart, but it didn’t dare to say it out loud; angering the King was no joke!

"What, cut down the tree!?" Jiang Wei immediately lost his composure; if the tree was cut down, wouldn’t he immediately be surrounded by a group of rabbits?

However, it wasn’t just Jiang Wei who was not calm; there was also...

Jiang Wei suddenly felt the big tree he was on tremble; yes, it was trembling, not swaying in the wind. Immediately after, Jiang Wei heard the big tree shout: "Don’t cut me, don’t cut me! I’m innocent!"

"Damn!" Jiang Wei was startled again, "Trees can talk?" The fact that rabbits could talk was already scary enough, and now even trees could talk... Fortunately, ghosts don’t have hearts, or Jiang Wei would have been scared to death by these consecutive supernatural events.

Fortunately, Jiang Wei already had some understanding of the ghost world, so he wasn’t too frightened.

All things have souls; people have ghosts after death, animals have ghosts after death, so why can’t plants have ghosts after death?

Of course, the ghosts of plants are very different from those of animals; they cannot even consume each other, even herbivores like rabbits can only eat "meat" in the ghost world. It’s a good thing they can’t consume each other, otherwise, these immobile plant ghosts would have been eaten by other species as soon as they entered the ghost world.

Not to mention plants, even microorganisms have souls after death. However, microorganisms don’t have complete souls; they only have soul fragments. Therefore, after being born in the ghost world, it’s hard for them to form complete, thinking ghosts.

"Cut it down!" The Rabbit King didn’t care about the tree’s plea; in the Rabbit King’s view, plants, which are at the bottom of the food chain, have no say even in the ghost world.

"Don’t cut, don’t cut!" The big tree begged while struggling to move its roots, trying to escape; but... a tree trying to race against rabbits?

Jiang Wei watched the tree "run" for a long time without moving an inch and couldn’t help but comfort it: "Brother, don’t waste your effort; no matter how hard you try, you’re still stationary to us!"

Indeed, the tree’s movement speed was so slow that it seemed almost stationary to Jiang Wei.

Seeing Jiang Wei still making sarcastic remarks, the big tree became furious—Why should I be cut down? Isn’t it because you’re hiding on my head?... I’m just a tree, sleeping here peacefully, why did I get involved in a "gang war" for no reason...

"Get down now!" The big tree shouted; at the same time, its branches wildly thrashed, trying to shake Jiang Wei off.

The tree’s thrashing indeed caused Jiang Wei a lot of trouble; he clung to the branches, refusing to go down: "Brother, please, let me hide here; if I go down, I’ll definitely be torn apart by those rabbits..."

"Your being torn apart has nothing to do with me! If you don’t get down, I’ll be eaten by these rabbits!" The teeth are the rabbits’ best weapon; cutting down a tree means gnawing it with their teeth. "Please, get down quickly, don’t drag me down with you! If I die, you’ll still die, so why drag me down? Please, get down and die quickly, so you can be reborn sooner!" The big tree wailed.

This is the tragedy of plants; they are stronger, more powerful, and have a longer lifespan than animals, but their movement is very inconvenient, and their attacks are almost harmless, so they can only be at the mercy of others, even the act of resistance is a luxury.

Hearing the big tree’s helpless cries, Jiang Wei felt a pang of sympathy. The big tree was right; in this situation, staying on the tree would only drag someone down to die with him; and this dragged-down one would be truly wronged.

"Alright, stop shouting, I’ll go down in a moment!" Jiang Wei said softly to a nearby leaf.

Jiang Wei also understood that if he suddenly rushed down now, he might catch the enemy off guard; but if he waited until the tree was cut down, it would be much harder!

"Really?" The big tree was pleasantly surprised; the big tree wasn’t stupid and knew that Jiang Wei wanted to catch them off guard, so it cooperated by continuing to thrash its branches, making it look like it was struggling desperately.

The big tree did this to thank Jiang Wei for not dragging it to die.

"You have a noble character, I will remember you, and I will spread your glorious deeds!—By the way, what’s your name?" A small branch whispered to Jiang Wei.

In a life-threatening situation, letting someone live is also a virtue.

"No need!" Jiang Wei coldly replied, then suddenly used the thrashing branches to launch himself toward the Rabbit King.

With the full force of a desperate fight, the immense power of the thrashing branches, the speed of the fall, and Jiang Wei’s own weight, the force he unleashed at that moment far exceeded his own strength.

"Whoosh!"

Shoot the horse first to shoot the man, capture the king first to capture the thief; the spear aimed, Jiang Wei was like a meteor from the sky, directly heading for the Rabbit King.

"Bad!"

The Rabbit King tried to dodge, but Jiang Wei’s sudden burst of speed was too fast, giving it no time to react; with no choice, the Rabbit King bared its front teeth and met the spear tip. For a human ghost, using the front teeth to hit the spear tip was clearly a suicidal act; but for rabbits, teeth are the best weapon and armor.

Jiang Wei certainly didn’t want to "attack the enemy’s strength," but in the split second, the spear couldn’t change direction; seeing that the collision between the spear tip and the front teeth was inevitable, Jiang Wei had to face it head-on.

"Bang!"

Jiang Wei’s burst of strength was completely concentrated on the spear tip; the sharp spear tip pierced the front teeth, directly breaking the Rabbit King’s front teeth.
