The scorching sun shone down on this land.
This was an ancient world. The land was a green plain made of moss. There were almost no trees in this world filled with clear oxygen. There was only one tree, which was more than 100 meters tall. It stood between the sky and the earth like a giant pillar. Thick vines grew around this giant tree. Thick green leaves grew on the vines, constantly absorbing energy from the sun.
In this place, there seemed to be no plants that could compete with this giant tree. However, this was not the reason why it could grow so big.
Many young scaly reptiles crawled under the shadow of this giant tree. They moved and rested in this only shady place. At the same time, they devoured the dust sprinkled from the giant tree.
They did not know what the dust was, but they knew it was delicious.
On the vast green plain, everything looked so peaceful. However, a sudden tremor from the earth ended this peaceful scene.
On the other side of the horizon, countless black shadows appeared. They were an army made up of countless insects. Like a black tsunami, they swept towards this green world ….
This land was no longer peaceful. The whole plain was filled with the roars of giant insects. These dinosaur-sized insects made the ground shake. This army of insects stepped on the ground made of moss. At this moment, every insect increased their speed to the limit. Whether running or flying, they were all focused on one target — the tree that held up the sky.
The reptiles lingering on the grass and under the trees had long since fled, and the immobile moss was constantly being trampled by the insects. This tsunami-like army seemed unstoppable. However, in their minds. 'Fear' occupied a larger part of their mind.
'Boom!' A huge crack suddenly appeared in the earth among the insects. Many insects did not have time to react and fell into the abyss of the earth. Those that reacted quickly dodged. However, these insects that tried to dodge suddenly felt their legs being pulled, and their bodies were pulled uncontrollably into the crack.
In the crack, countless vines burst out. They were like tentacles from the abyss, tightly entangling all the insects around them. They dragged them into the darkness.
Some insects with long blades cut through the vines, but their numbers seemed endless. When countless insects were pulled into the darkness underground, the earth shook again.
This time, the tremor came from the front of the insect army. The ground exploded, and countless rocks flew up. Thick tree roots rushed out of the ground. They had a diameter of more than ten meters. Its huge body slammed heavily into the ground, and at the moment the ground let out a loud sound, countless insects were crushed into powder.
These thick tree roots were like city walls. They lined up in a row, protecting the giant tree behind them. They blocked the attack of the swarm with a force that could crush everything.
'Whoosh!' The sound of sharp arrows rang out in the sky. A green spike shot down from the sky and pierced into a tree root.
Slap! The wound on the tree root instantly exploded, and a large amount of wood chips splashed out. A large amount of strange colored liquid also gushed out, and the seemingly incomparably sturdy tree root was easily injured.
At this moment. Countless spikes shot out from the swarm.
They were like a swarm of locusts leaping out from a sea of insects, crashing into the tree root one after another. The debris and dust from the explosion shrouded the city wall made of tree roots.
After the explosion, the swarm stepped on the broken bark and continued forward. There seemed to be no obstacles between them and the giant tree.
However, the obstacles would not disappear. This plain, or even the entire continent, belonged to the giant tree.
No matter where it was, it could turn it into a battlefield.
Under the swarm's six limbs, they felt a strong airflow. Some of the insects were instantly thrown into the air, while others felt the opposite airflow. They were sucked into the ground by this airflow.
The thick tree roots that had been blown up had retracted into the ground, but the holes they had drilled out of remained on the ground. A strange airflow gushed out of these holes, affecting the nearby insects.
At the same time, countless cracks appeared on the ground again. These cracks spread out like a spider web, and vines gushed out from these cracks. Not only could they pull, but some of the vines could even spray fire, while others were full of thorns and could explode.
The cracks on the ground, the vines, and the strange airflow made it difficult for the swarm to move forward. They were trapped around the giant tree, but they did not give up. Some species still had the ability to move forward.
Some flying insects spread their wings and flew out from the swarm.
They did not have the membranous wings commonly used by arthropods. Instead, they used the membranes connected to their arthropods to fly. This method was similar to pterosaurs, but their speed was slightly slower.
However, this also made it difficult for them to be noticed before they took flight. They could fly.
A large number of flying insects flew out from the ground. They formed a huge army and rushed towards the giant tree. This sudden attack seemed to have left the giant tree with no way to deal with it.
However …
A strong airflow made it difficult for these flying insects to move forward.
The two airflows on the ground had already affected the air. The airflow in the sky became as violent as a hurricane. This strong airflow made it difficult for the flying insects in the air to stabilize their bodies. However, what affected them the most was not the airflow, but …
'Buzz —'
This feeling was like a heavy blow to the brain. It instantly spread throughout the entire swarm.
The flying insects in the air seemed to have been struck by lightning. They fell from the sky one by one, and the swarm on the ground also fell to the ground.
At this moment, it seemed that the entire swarm had lost their ability to fight. They could only tremble on the ground.
However, the shaking vines on the ground did not stop. They wriggled and entangled the surrounding swarm. Some vines with sharp thorns drilled out from the ground. They searched around the trembling swarm. Once they found the brain, they instantly pierced it and sucked out the brain.
The brain matter of the swarm was squeezed together by the vines buried underground. They were all transmitted to the giant tree. The brain matter flowed up the trunk of the tree. All the energy was gathered by the tree. Under the concentration of the brain matter, a white flower with ten petals bloomed on the top of the tree …
