Shuangshuang looked at the terrified people and had to explain, "You don't need to be afraid. This mutant plant has been controlled by my spiritual power and will no longer harm you.
Earlier, it was my oversight. I was too focused on calming my friends, which led to this unintended offense on your part.
Please do not take offense, as it's just a newly awakened mutant plant that does not yet understand right from wrong. I haven't had the chance to teach it. That was my negligence.
You also don't need to fear that I'm a bad person. I've already sent a distress signal to the safety zone, so rescue should arrive soon.
At that point, you can return to the safety zone with the rescuers."
After Shuangshuang's explanation, the terrifying presence of the Curled Vegetable remained ominously close to the group.
With tendrils weaving and shivering around them, forming a daunting enclosure, the recent experience of almost being consumed as fertilizer was fresh in their minds.
