Kong Qingming told his people to drive back, and also to report to Wu Chengyue about what they found. To go through the area, they had to remove those creatures first. However, there was a massive herd of them occupying a long section of the road, and they were actually rather strong.
Kong Qingming controlled the surrounding plants and tied up those creatures with veins and branches. It was hard to kill them though. He was able to crush the bones of the relatively small ones, but the larger ones soon escaped.
The creatures caught by Kong Qingming's plants screamed shrilly, their voices highly unpleasant to hear.
The other people didn't use their superpowers. Instead, they leaped onto high places for a wide view and each took out a strange gun. They had only one of those guns each. The bullets in those guns were customized, containing catmint juice.
