Beast Taming: Abyssal Descent
Chapter 545 - 397: The Terrifying Silver Cannibal Tree (Part 2)
During the rookie trials, the first time I saw this thing, I was startled, but it wasn’t as shocking as this time.
Back then, the silver giant tree could only be encircled by a dozen people, and there were no leaves on its crown, but instead, it was full of human heads.
However, those heads, like fruits, only numbered over two hundred.
Among them, only about one hundred and fifty were human heads, the rest were animal or insect heads.
But now, looking at it, the crown of the silver giant tree is densely packed with heads of all kinds: human, animal, monster, insect. It’s truly an overwhelming sight!
And as for the number, it’s simply uncountable, stacked densely together, making one’s skin crawl.
Moreover, not only are these heads lifelike, but they also move, with some sticking out tongues, licking the nearby heads.
A shiver ran down my spine. Even having seen many grand scenes, Mo Qingchen felt cold sweat soaking his back.
"Damn it, just how much time has passed for this thing to grow so fast? The last time I saw it, there were only over two hundred heads on it, but now it must be tens of thousands, if not more!"
Mo Qingchen’s face was ashen, especially after seeing some Exotic Beast heads up close in the video.
Tier Nine Exotic Beast heads!
Previously, on the way to Red Mist City, the Wolf King had scanned and collected a considerable amount of Tier Nine Exotic Beast data.
Among the heads growing on the crown of this silver Cannibal Tree, several match the Tier Nine Exotic Beast heads that the Wolf King had scanned.
They are definitely Tier Nine Exotic Beast skulls!
What does this imply?
This indicates that the strength of this silver Cannibal Tree is at least at the Tier Nine level, and it’s definitely a top-tier predator.
Mo Qingchen is more inclined to believe that the strength of this silver Cannibal Tree has reached a Super Tier Nine level.
This is a gut feeling because just watching the video footage gave him a chilling fear.
This clearly shows that the silver Cannibal Tree is formidable, capable of instantly killing someone like him!
"Damn, this thing is just too freaky! Brother Mo, you wouldn’t be thinking of getting something from this head tree, would you?"
Wang Xiao’Er swallowed hard, looked at Mo Qingchen with a tearful face, and asked trembling. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
From the beginning, Brother Mo had directed the massive flying truck to come here, and as soon as they reached the destination, he immediately confirmed the target. It was evident that they were after the big guy in the video.
Wang Xiao’Er felt that dealing with this thing would be irresponsible to their own lives.
"Did you notice? Among all these growing heads, there’s not a single mechanical head, which means this thing doesn’t consume metal."
From multiple angles, mosquito-sized surveillance devices monitored the scene; the crown of the silver Cannibal Tree was already packed with various heads, and the tree emitted a silver glow that could block the detectors’ scans.
They could only observe the various heads on the tree crown through video monitoring, and not a single mechanical head among these heads.
This clearly elucidates a point.
Moreover, the mosquito detectors landed on the trunk of the silver Cannibal Tree.
Through monitoring footage, the size of this thing had increased several-fold.
The first time Mo Qingchen saw this thing, it was just a trunk that could be encircled by a dozen people, but now, without forty or fifty people, it was impossible to encircle it.
Simultaneously, the bottom of this isolation chamber, once covered in white bones, now had even more!
It wasn’t even bones anymore, but an exceptionally thick layer of bone powder!
Clearly, this silver Cannibal Tree Exotic Beast has become an extremely powerful predator.
"Bro, Brother Mo, my mom is still waiting for me to return alive. I feel like going to mess with this thing is like sending meat buns to a dog, never to return."
Wang Xiao’Er said with an extremely unpleasant smile.
"Get lost! Do I look stupid enough to go kill myself? As long as we stay on the Wolf King, as long as we remain in the air, this thing isn’t much of a threat."
This silver Cannibal Tree is powerful; its roots could cover a vast ruin city, but moving it is extremely difficult.
Otherwise, this thing wouldn’t still be trapped in the underground laboratory.
Especially since its roots reluctance to be exposed to sunlight, hiding in red mist, reveals much.
This thing seems to have a fear of sunlight; the roots outside the walls of the Twin Towers have withered, while those inside the building are withering slowly.
And the roots hidden in the red mist show no signs of withering.
This thing is afraid of light!
"Brother Mo, I’ll do anything you ask, as long as it’s not delivering myself as food to this thing."
This silver Cannibal Tree cast a gigantic psychological shadow.
Wang Xiao’Er felt certain that he would have nightmares that night.
"Rest assured, I don’t have the habit of sending my people to die. Wolf King, release ten Tier Four Transformers and activate overload mode to bombard the targeted underground laboratory!"
Penetrate the ground and release this tree!
Mo Qingchen realized that this silver Cannibal Tree’s roots could emerge from the laboratory through underground soil, but its trunk and crown couldn’t break through the lab’s constraints.
Clearly, this laboratory was custom-made specifically to contain this thing.
Otherwise, this thing has grown so massive, and the heads on its crown are innumerable. Why hasn’t it broken out of the laboratory?
Mo Qingchen wanted to study this silver Cannibal Tree and enter the underground lab to acquire the database information inside!
At the same time, Mo Qingchen sent the monitored video footage to the Grey Wolf’s laboratory via the Wolf King.
Such important matters naturally needed the Wolf King’s attention.
Most importantly, if they managed to break through the underground layers and release this silver Cannibal Tree, Mo Qingchen could observe its various attributes with the naked eye.
After all, his golden finger is his own eyes, isn’t it?
Unfortunately, he couldn’t view it through the screen, or else it wouldn’t need to be so troublesome, right?
The Wolf King’s trunk doors opened, and ten Tier Four Transformers flew out, transforming in the air into energy cannons.
These Transformers immediately activated overload mode, overcharging the energy cannons for a more powerful attack.
Although their eyes were filled with red mist, obscuring the ground, they connected with the Wolf King’s database for positioning.
It only took about ten seconds for the energy cannons fired by the ten Transformers to reach the overload limit, unleashing ten rays of light towards the red mist below.
Tier Four Transformers unleashed an initial Tier Six level attack, easily penetrating the red mist, hitting the ground directly.
Amidst the explosions, ten energy beams mainly struck the same point.
The ground exploded, sending soil and stones flying.
With this attack, the underground parking garage’s ceiling was pierced, creating a hole over ten meters wide.
A three-layered basement garage was completely penetrated to the last layer of soil, forming a pit twenty meters deep.
"Master, the energy source of Tier Four Transformers allows for only two more such overload strikes before running out of energy."
The Wolf King reminded before further controlling the ten Transformers to overcharge their cannons again.
Another few seconds later, ten energy beams descended again, pounding the same pit as before.
The second strike was less successful.
The thick soil was driven down by over ten meters, but the energy beams depleted.
"No worries, we have plenty of Transformers, we can calmly wear it down."
Mo Qingchen was not in a rush, taking things slowly.
