Beast Taming: Abyssal Descent
Chapter 546 - 398
Tree roots, countless tree roots, broke through the ground and then covered the entire ruined city within the area shrouded by the red mist!
All living creatures were captured by these roots, trapped in wooden cages composed of the roots, and then sucked dry into bone powder!
Flesh, blood, internal organs, bone marrow... nothing was spared, all absorbed cleanly by the roots, leaving only patches of bone powder or corroded rusty metal in the wooden cages, indicating that life once existed!
"Master, the entire ruined city is covered by these roots, and even inside the building structures, there are roots everywhere.
From the analysis of the detected situation, these roots seem to dislike sunlight, mainly covering areas obscured by the red mist and the interiors of buildings.
The remaining red dots marked on the map are all Tier Seven and above Exotic Beast monsters."
These roots, Mo Qingchen is too familiar with them, aren’t they the roots of that Silver Cannibal Tree from before?
Back then, it burst out from the ground and climbed all over the external walls of the two towers in a very short time, just to hunt the living beings within the Twin Towers.
If Mo Qingchen, Mo Chen, and Grey Wolf hadn’t run fast enough at the time, they might’ve ended up in its stomach too.
"To cover a ruin of a city of million scale, this Silver Cannibal Tree must have grown to a Super Tier Nine level."
At the time of detection, the tier of the Silver Cannibal Tree definitely didn’t exceed Tier Seven.
"Damn it, can’t determine how much time has passed in the Civilization’s Wound Secret Realm dungeon since the newcomer trial."
This time coming to Red Mist City, Mo Qingchen wanted to catch and study that Cannibal Tree that had left a psychological shadow on him back then.
But now the situation has changed, and it might not be so easy to capture and study it.
Fortunately, Mo Qingchen knows exactly where the body of the Silver Cannibal Tree is, which is a huge advantage.
Otherwise, no one would know how to find the body among the roots covering the entire ruined city.
"Wolf King, search through the buildings marked on the map, pick out all the ones resembling Twin Towers, and check them one by one."
In such a huge ruined city, without knowing the exact location back then, it can only be searched bit by bit.
The body of the Silver Cannibal Tree is located in the underground laboratory beneath the original Twin Towers.
Digging, it will certainly need to be dug up, just don’t know to what extent its power has grown now.
Luckily, Wolf King has a large enough detection range, and just by searching the map casually, the location of the Twin Towers was marked.
There are only about a dozen places, and with Wolf King cloaked, it hovered around in the sky under Mo Qingchen’s command and stopped over the Twin Towers.
The tree roots that climbed the walls back then still exist, but now they have withered like dry firewood, giving off an extremely eerie vibe from a distance.
"Finally found it, Wolf King, release dozens of micro-drones to infiltrate the Twin Towers and then enter the underground experimental base, to find that Silver Cannibal Tree for me."
Without figuring out the current strength of the Cannibal Tree, Mo Qingchen definitely won’t make a move.
Dozens of micro-mosquito drones flew out from the Wolf King, quickly infiltrating into the Twin Towers below.
On the glass of the Wolf King, fifty video screens were projected, showing the scenes captured by each micro-drone.
The outside of the Twin Towers is covered by withered tree roots, and there are also many roots inside the building.
But unlike the withered roots outside, the roots inside the building have not completely withered, though they show signs of shrinking.
As the micro-mosquito drones entered the red mist, the visible range was reduced to one square meter.
Inside the red mist, the roots became more plentiful and showed no signs of withering, looking full of vitality.
In the images transmitted by these drones, numerous wooden cages made of roots were visible, and inside those cages were some bone powder and rust-covered metal.
Clearly, all the mutated mechanical dwarves inside the Twin Towers were eaten by these root systems.
The drones quickly passed through the red mist-covered floors and reached the underground parking lot.
Compared to the floors on the ground, where sight is limited to one meter due to the red mist cover, the red mist in the underground parking lot is much thinner, expanding the visible range significantly, at least seeing blurry outlines over ten meters away.
And in the underground parking lot, the roots became more numerous, densely covering the ground.
The micro-drones drilled through a root breaking from the ground into a lower level of the underground space, easily entering the underground experimental base.
The passageways that humans could originally walk through were all blocked by dense roots, with only tiny cracks remaining.
Fortunately, the drones are as small as mosquitoes and can easily fly through the cracks.
Soon, Mo Qingchen saw on the surveillance video in front of him a giant silver tree covered with various heads!
——
"What the hell is this?! Σ(っ°Д°;)っ!!!"
Wang Xiao’Er felt his scalp tingling as he watched the thing in the video, particularly those numerous menacing and terrifying human heads, making his heart tremble with terror.
Seeing this silver giant tree again, even though Mo Qingchen was mentally prepared, he was still startled by this thing once more.
