——From the shadows in the corner of the room, two monsters stretching numerous vines suddenly burst forth! They resembled two beasts enraged, emitting piercing howls toward Qin Nanyi!
Qin Nanyi's heart nearly stopped beating! What were these?! Such gigantic monsters had been in the room all along?! But why hadn't she detected them when she used Mental Search just now?!
Han Jiaojiao gently stroked their vines, her tone soothing, "She's just a bit scared and won't hurt me."
The monsters made a coarse gurgling noise and slowly backed away.
Qin Nanyi's heart relaxed slightly, but then she spotted another small vine monster coiling around Han Jiaojiao's shoulder! Its plant-like skin shimmered with a bluish-purple glow, and several of its vines began to slowly wrap around her own calves!
She finally couldn't hold back her scream—
"Ahhh!!!"
Han Jiaojiao patiently retrieved the vine tendrils one by one, her expression calm throughout the process.
