Beast Taming: Abyssal Descent
Chapter 556 - 403: Bombardment from the Wolf King
Mo Qingchen stared at the display screen, the rolling analysis simulations causing a constant flash in his eyes.
Good stuff!
"Boss, stop looking at these little gadgets for now. Once I, the great king, get back, I can tinker a bit and make a stronger version. Let’s handle that Silver Cannibal Tree first."
Grey Wolf had already reached the cockpit, signaling everyone to look at the monitoring screen.
In the underground laboratory, the Silver Cannibal Tree began to riot.
The Silver Cannibal Tree, originally trapped in the laboratory, released countless roots, continuously attacking the laboratory’s isolation walls.
Unfortunately, these roots couldn’t break through, so the tree began to explode with power.
Countless heads on the tree crown started to dissolve, transforming into pure energy, which was absorbed by the Silver Cannibal Tree.
With each head that disappeared, the Silver Cannibal Tree grew stronger.
The branches pressing against the laboratory ceiling began pushing little by little. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
As more heads dissolved, the tree’s strength increased even more.
When half of the dissolving heads were gone, the ceiling finally couldn’t withstand the branches’ force and started to crack quickly.
Web-like cracks appeared rapidly, almost instantly covering the entire ceiling top.
Then the ceiling began to deform and was eventually torn apart by the branches, creating a rift that continued to grow, forming a huge hole!
The main trunk of the Silver Cannibal Tree began to grow rapidly, bursting out through the opened hole.
Breaking through the laboratory, breaking through the metal isolation layer, breaking through the soil layer, it quickly grew towards the surface.
With each breath, the main trunk of the Silver Cannibal Tree grew more than ten meters upwards, and in just a few minutes, it finally broke free from the earth’s constraints, revealing its head.
The heads hanging on the main trunk were also brought out by the Silver Cannibal Tree.
However, compared to what was seen before, the originally densely packed heads were now less than a third in number.
But the aura of the Silver Cannibal Tree became even more imposing, even emanating a terrifying black flame.
At the moment this giant tree emerged from the ground, Mo Qingchen finally saw its true form from outside the window.
[Exotic Beast Name: Devouring Demon Tree]
[Talent: S]
[Attribute: Wood Element]
[Level: LV109]
[Talent: Devouring Living Beings]
[Skills: Root Cover, Wood Root Cage, Soul Wail, Sucking Blood and Flesh, ???]
[Note: This is a bloodthirsty mutated ancient tree that can devour the blood, flesh, and souls of any living beings, with extremely remarkable potential!]
Though the attributes are not visible, the level gives Mo Qingchen a rough estimate of the Silver Cannibal Tree’s combat power.
This thing has already reached the pinnacle of Monarch-level, only half a step away from Epic King-level.
Mo Qingchen’s Beast Taming Team probably only has the fused Chaos Divine Beast capable of subduing this creature.
As for subordinates, Edward and Kasi, the former could battle to a draw with it, while the latter might only have the ability to save himself.
Edward belongs to the Holy Light Ghosts, and this tree fears sunlight, which gives him the advantage over it.
So, even though Edward is only at the initial Monarch-level, he should be able to hold his own against the pinnacle Monarch-level Devouring Demon Tree, and possibly suppress it with his countering attribute.
Kasi is now at half-step Monarch-level, a large gap in level, probably only capable of self-defense against it.
However, once he completes his breakthrough into the Monarch-level, it would be a different story.
Now that this creature is in a half-ghost half-Witch Demon state, with Dark Element power mastery, it surely exerts some restraint on the Devouring Demon Tree.
After all, Kasi has no shortage of methods targeting souls.
"As expected, an exotic beast with S-level talent, but its level has reached as high as 109, clearly Tier Ten Monarch-level strength. Bringing this thing back would be a huge hassle."
It can be subdued, but capturing and bringing this tree back, Mo Qingchen currently lacks the means to do so.
Mainly, the tree is quite large. Not counting its root system, the trunk alone towers several hundred meters tall.
Within a short time, after the Devouring Demon Tree broke free from the earth’s constraints, the part exposed above ground already stretched over a hundred meters long.
That’s just a part of it, with the main trunk length definitely exceeding three hundred meters.
Meanwhile, Mo Qingchen also noticed that after the tree’s trunk broke the ground and was exposed to sunlight, although a black fog emanated from its body, it did not cause it to wither and lose life.
So, the trunk part of it does not fear sunlight, it’s just weakened slightly by sunlight.
"What a strange tree, actually very resistant to sunlight, and its roots are suppressed by sunlight."
Grey Wolf said curiously, with eyes already showing an extremely passionate glow.
Trees that don’t require sunlight do exist but are very rare.
"Grey Wolf, you better think about how to bring it back. Not only is it big, but who knows how extensive its root system is underground."
Rolling his eyes, Mo Qingchen interrupted its fervor.
Indeed, after spending so much time with those crazy scientists in the Marvel World, Grey Wolf had also been influenced.
"Brother Mo, are you sure you want to bring this thing back? Its roots might pierce through Yanhuang Academy’s Sky Island!"
Wang Xiao’Er looked dumbfounded at the one man and one wolf, unable to believe what he had heard.
