Three days later, in the Emerald Dragon City.
There were still many emerald dragons living in this city. They did not participate in the war, nor did they fly to the city to do crystallization work. They still lived ordinary lives and waited for Susumi to return with news of victory.
However, this city, which was originally far away from the war, was now involved in the disaster.
"Squeak … Woo …" A large number of plants crawled slowly with their roots. They gathered under the outermost city wall of the Emerald Dragon City and kept waving their roots, trying to climb in through the wall.
"These things are gathering more and more … Has this forest gone crazy?" There were a few emerald dragon soldiers on the wall who were observing the situation below. One of the emerald dragons said, "Have we contacted the King?"
Another emerald dragon said, "I don't know. The Wyvern Knight who went out hasn't responded yet … Wait, look at that!"
"Dong!" A sound came from the ground. A six-meter-tall plant walked out of the forest.
This plant did not move with its roots, but with its' legs'. It looked like the lower half of its trunk was split into two and formed the structure of 'legs'. Similarly, on the upper half of its body, it had two particularly thick branches as' arms'.
This monster walked to the side of the city wall, raised its' arms' high, and then slammed them on the wall …
"Boom!" With a loud bang, the emerald dragons on the wall almost fell down!
"Gah! It wants to destroy the city wall! Attack quickly! Burn it with fire! " A few emerald dragons quickly climbed down the wall to prepare. This big tree with arms hit the city wall again and again. It seemed to feel no pain. Under the constant attacks. Cracks began to appear on the sturdy wall.
"Shoot!" At this moment. The emerald dragons had just arrived. They lit the arrowheads with flames and shot a rain of fire arrows at the big tree that was hitting the city wall. The giant tree began to tremble under the flames. It kept slapping the flames on its body and turned to escape into the forest.
Seeing this, the emerald dragons heaved a sigh of relief. Whether or not this would cause a forest fire was obviously not within their scope of consideration.
Although the forest was very humid, there was almost no possibility of any fire.
However. Had such a species already appeared?
This type of tree was a new type of mutation, it had a much stronger mobility. Lin discovered that as long as these trees received enough nutrients, they would continuously mutate under the influence of the virus. Some of them would die as they mutated, while others would become much stronger. This tree was a good example.
However, no matter which type of plant was infected, the green cells that they originally relied on for survival would disappear. This way, they would no longer be able to absorb light energy, and could only obtain the energy needed to change by constantly killing the surrounding animals.
In the end. When everything was killed, these plants would wither and fall to the ground due to the lack of energy. At that time, the creator's goal would have been achieved. The entire continent would be littered with corpses, and they would all become the creator's food.
Many Flyers flew across the sky above Emerald Dragon City. Lin's next target was here. Previously, most of the signals in the root were sent by the ganglion alone, but that particularly strong signal actually came from a distant main part of the root. It was transmitted to the Brain Reader through a large number of ganglions distributed in the root.
And through sensing this signal, Lin had already discovered where it originated.
It was under the ground of Emerald Dragon City. To be precise, it was under a boulder.
These boulders were very strange things. The Emerald Dragons lived around them and started the first large-scale community, but they didn't expect the creator to be hiding here.
Lin had to be careful not to affect the Emerald Dragons above, but this was the best chance to kill the creator in one strike, and Lin couldn't be too slow.
'Boom …'
"What's going on?"
The earth trembled slowly. The Emerald Dragons in the city suddenly became nervous. They all hid in their houses, and only a few stayed in the open space.
The Emerald Dragons hadn't experienced a large earthquake before, so they didn't seem to know what to do. Although this wasn't an earthquake. Lin's largest unit, the Blazers, were moving underground.
With a body that was more than seventy meters long, and a metal armor that was synthesized from the volcanic rocks of the seabed, the Explorer drilled through the underground rock layer as if it was drilling through soft soil. As it moved deeper into the underground, it caused the ground to tremble slightly.
When the Blazers drilled through the ground, they wouldn't cause unnecessary cracks in the surrounding rock layers, so there shouldn't be any problems on the surface. Underground, the Blazers found countless tree roots, but they were almost worthless to the Blazers. The moment they came into contact with the Blazers, they were crushed into powder.
Lin still remembered the location where the signal came from. The Blazers were approaching the target, and the closer they got, the more tree roots there were. After crushing them all, the Blazers had reached the target.
This is it!
Following the sound of rocks and tree roots being torn apart, Lin sensed that the explorers had suddenly entered an open space.
This is …
The Blazers glowed in front of their heads, and Lin saw a huge structure. It looked like … tree bark?
The Blazers were now in a place that looked like a cave. The cave was quite narrow, surrounded by rock walls and exposed tree roots. The path in front of the Blazers was blocked by a huge piece of tree bark.
This seemed to be a huge tree. Lin obviously couldn't see its whole body from this position, but she could estimate its diameter. Maybe … a few hundred meters?
It was many times bigger than the Hometree …
No matter what, I'll just drill through it.
Just as the Blazers were about to move forward, the surrounding rock walls suddenly shook. Then, a large amount of white powder spewed out from the cracks in the rock walls …
Is this a trap?
The powder was all bacterial dust, and it all stuck to the Blazers' body. Because the Blazers had drilled through many tree roots before, a large amount of liquid stuck to the Blazers' body began to grow, and a large number of mycelium wrapped around the Blazers' body.
But … this was meaningless!
The Blazers spun and accelerated, and the mycelium on its body was torn apart in an instant. It rushed straight to the front of the cave, and its head slammed into the tree bark in front of it …
'Boom!'
With a loud roar, the Blazers crashed into the tree bark, creating a huge crack.
'Boom!' But almost at the same time, another roar followed. This sound didn't come from here, but from a farther place … Lin's underground base in the northern part of the continent! Floating astronomy.
