Chapter 384: Chapter 268 The World Tree Arrives

"Boom!!!"

The ground began to tremble, countless stones fell, and that terrifying rhizome kept extending upwards until it reached a height of nearly 300 meters before it finally stopped.

At that moment, the city below looked as tiny as child’s building blocks in comparison to that vine monster, which was simply like a baby that had not yet been weaned.

At this time, not to mention Hu Hu and the others, even those several kilometers away could clearly see it.

That giant plant reaching straight into the clouds must have frightened many people with megalophobia the instant it made its appearance, as all who witnessed it were overawed by its towering presence.

"Holy shit... what level has that battle on the other side reached... How come such a terrifying creature has appeared..."

A kilometer away, Chu Liang looked at the scene unfolding before him with a stunned expression on his face.

He originally thought that the conical giant plant he had seen before was already incredibly shocking.

But he had not expected that things were far from over, and now an even more terrifying entity had emerged.

This height, this size, could it be that even Godzilla from the movies was no better than this?

Chu Liang was still standing in that shopping center, but he had changed his position, running to the top floor.

From here, he could clearly see the battle happening near the Three Institutes, and he was also lucky enough to be standing outside the range of the monster’s group attacks.

"Run, hurry up, run!!"

Beside him, many people who were also standing on the rooftop to watch the commotion finally couldn’t sit still any longer and turned to run downstairs.

Originally, when the monster appeared, they had already wanted to run away, but when they saw missiles and planes in the other location, they had all held back from leaving.

After all, such opportunities were rare, and they thought the monster seemed unable to withstand the bombardment of modern weapons.

But now, when the World Tree’s rhizome reaching over 300 meters high made its appearance, they were truly scared.

The sight that blotted out the sky made them dare not doubt that the mere aftereffects of the battle could engulf them all.

Zhang Xiaoman was standing inside the Dawn at a distance, watching the situation from the sky.

The huge World Tree rhizome gave him quite the scare as well.

Although he had anticipated such a sight, witnessing it with his own eyes still filled him with a sense of awe.

"With such a height, I’m afraid even the main body of the World Tree itself hasn’t reached it yet; who would have thought its rhizomes possessed such terrifying strength."

The plant monster, faced with this scene, had long since lost the heart to continue using its skills.

Its body was writhing with vines, bearing its fangs and claws, trying to intimidate the much larger creature that was at least five times its height.

Hu Hu adjusted his breathing and propped up his body to sit up again.

He was feeling a bit better now.

It appeared that once the monster’s attack was interrupted at a certain frequency, its effect would also be greatly reduced.

His body had improved a lot as well, no longer in the same agony as before, and he could finally take a breath of relief.

At this moment, Hu Hu saw the vine monster waving its fangs and claws at the newcomer, and an idea struck him.

"Could it be that they are not actually on the same side?"

Hu Hu’s eyes gradually widened, and for some reason, he began to think again of the Fire Python that had appeared earlier.

An absurd thought began to resonate in his mind, one that he just couldn’t shake off.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~"

Dozens of vines shot out, as the vine monster took the initiative to attack.

However, the next second, an embarrassing scene occurred.

This time, although it hit the opponent, the latter was too bulky, causing the monster’s vines to neither entangle nor break the defense; in the end, they could only whip a few times ineffectively before slowly withdrawing.

"Overestimating itself."

From the sky, Zhang Xiaoman witnessed this scene and slightly curled his lips, ready to counterattack.

He had no time to play slowly with it, after all, this thing was not meant for fighting.

Every moment he delayed was a heavy burden for the entire World Tree.

"Star Rank, kill it."

Zhang Xiaoman immediately issued a command to his Star Network System, ready to completely settle the battle.

On the other side, the System took the command without any delay and immediately sprang into action.

The colossal rootstock, mountainous in size, suddenly moved; it tilted slightly backward to gather strength, then drastically bent forward and smashed downwards, aiming directly at the vine monster below.

The World Tree’s attack lacked any fanciness; it was this straightforward crushing, but it was as terrifying as the sky falling and the earth shattering.

Even standing within the Dawn, Zhang Xiaoman could feel the unparalleled might of that strike.

In the face of such absolute strength, he did not believe that the monster could do anything tricky.

The next second, the entire World Tree’s rootstock thunderously fell, accompanying a booming sound that echoed through the sky, the once arrogant vine monster was abruptly smashed into the ground.

The earth trembled at that moment, and the entire area quaked as if stricken by an earthquake, with heaven and earth seeming to shake.

Fortunately, after the System’s precise calculation, it had controlled the destructiveness of the attack and did not really demolish the area.

"Target destroyed detected, do you wish to evacuate?"

It was at this moment that Star Rank’s voice rang in his ear, pulling Zhang Xiaoman’s attention back.

"Hmm? Is it over just like this?"

Muttering in disbelief, Zhang Xiaoman came back to his senses.

Even though he had prepared himself for such an outcome earlier, the display of might when he actually witnessed it still left him shocked.

"Evacuate, restore the energy supply inside the base as quickly as possible, and prioritize activating the shielding."

Having given the order, Zhang Xiaoman then directed the Dawn towards the site of the recent battle.

Before him was a terrifying pit; at the end of the pit, he seemed to see a crush of greenery that had been pulverized.

The World Tree’s rootstock had already retreated.

Under Zhang Xiaoman’s command, as it left, it would naturally fill in the traces it left behind.

At the same time, it would ease the force applied to avoid causing vibrations in the deep layers of the ground, which might affect the surface.

"Let’s go, fly over and have a look."

Zhang Xiaoman commanded the vehicle to descend into the pit he had just created, opened the hatch, and stepped out.

Underfoot, the soil here was already compacted by the previous attack.

He brushed aside a few vines exposed on the surface and walked directly toward the area where the most Dark Energy fluctuations remained, a hint of anticipation emerging on his face.

Now, it was finally time for him to harvest the spoils of war.
