Suddenly, Ji Xinghuo stopped.
He hovered mid-air, turned around, and looked back at the approaching Qian Lv with a strange expression on his face.
Qian Lv, in turn, grew sowhat suspicious.
Just as it was about to speak, its expression changed dramatically, revealing panic.
Boom...
A muffled sound ca from deep underground, instantly turning into a massive explosion that shook the entire Underground City as if an earthquake had occurred.
The center of the explosion was right beneath the giant banyan composite, where the ground around the huge trunk was upheaved.
The giant tree slowly toppled, revealing countless severed roots.
At the break, white luminescence could be seen seeping into the roots, like illusory flas, burning the roots to prevent regeneration and spreading into the trunk, branches, aerial roots, vines, and leaves, the intense burning white light illuminating the entire Underground City.
In just a few seconds, the plants that spread throughout the Underground City were infected by the White Flas, ignited, and began to struggle frantically, emitting silent screams.
"No..."
Qian Lv scread in despair and rushed towards its main body.
But it had only flown halfway when its body crumbled to dust, spontaneously combusting with no wind and disappearing in a puff of ashes in the blink of an eye.
Ji Xinghuo watched this scene and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he was astonished.
How did Ren Mian manage to ignite such a massive banyan composite in an instant? Moreover, even though this Earthquake-Level monster was a plant, it surely didn’t fear fire like ordinary plants do; it even wielded high-temperature flas for combat.
He flew toward the burning giant tree, where waves of heat hit him in the face, landing a hundred ters away from it.
Nearby, several Green Lock Dragons erged from the ground, bringing Ren Mian back to the surface.
Despite being underground for so ti, her body was still clean and tidy, not a speck of dirt on her, nothing like soone who had been burrowing.
"Ren Mian!"
Ji Xinghuo called out happily.
Ren Mian didn’t look at the burning giant tree but focused on Ji Xinghuo, seeing his battered and wretched state, she quickly approached with concern, "Xinghuo, how are your injuries? Are they serious?"
She imdiately produced a few peach blossoms to treat and detoxify Ji Xinghuo.
"I’m okay..." Ji Xinghuo winced, actually healing quickly on his own, even though he looked quite miserable.
Ren Mian looked distressed and blad herself, "I should have been faster, but its root system was so vast, I could only try to speed up the process. I was afraid of it discovering , which would have undone everything. Luckily you held on..."
"I’m alright, it couldn’t kill ." Ji Xinghuo said with a calm smile, "As long as we could take down that monster, it was worth it!"
After checking him over and confirming that his condition was good and nothing was missing, Ren Mian finally relaxed.
"We did it!"
Only then did she look toward the burning giant tree, her excitent evident, "The two of us, just Super Mutants, successfully killed an Earthquake-Level monster. Xinghuo, we’ve created a miracle together!"
Ji Xinghuo was also quite thrilled, "It’s all thanks to Ren Mian’s plan."
"Without you bearing its attack and drawing all its attention, the plan alone would’ve been useless." Ren Mian shook her head lightly, her gaze upon Ji Xinghuo’s eyes flashing with an indescribable light, finding the man before her full of charm, both handso and capable!
Ji Xinghuo didn’t notice her gaze, still looking at the giant tree.
It was burning very quickly.
In less than five minutes, branches, leaves, and roots had all burned away, leaving only a huge charred trunk over a hundred ters long, stripped bare of bark. The entire Underground City’s vegetation was burned clean, with plant ashes drifting everywhere.
The peculiar illusory flas extinguished, the surrounding temperature rapidly dropped back to normal.
"It’s done," Ren Mian said, "The Illusion Fla Root doesn’t actually burn at a high temperature, it’s just effective against the banyan composite, its nesis. After burning out, it won’t cause further damage. You can touch it without harm."
She walked over and touched the charred trunk, indeed not injured at all.
Ji Xinghuo also ca forward, feeling warmth upon touching the trunk, and Alien Species information popped up before his eyes.
Upon one glance, his heart skipped a beat.
[Monster: Banyan Composite Entity]
[Level: Catastrophe-Earthquake]
[Alien Species: Plant Primogenitor, Acceleration, Plant Heart, Life Revival, Myriad Spirits Limbs, High-frequency Thinking, Flying, Global Vision, Insight]
Plant Primogenitor, this was an Eclipse Species!
Ji Xinghuo was inwardly shocked, a myriad of thoughts flashed through his mind, but he kept his composure as he turned to look at Ren Mian.
