Crime Prison Island-Chapter 769 - 362 Destroy the Demon Tree

Whoosh!

Xiahou Zunchi transformed into a stream of light and quickly arrived at the Sea King Port waters.

The Bear King saw him and slightly frowned, "Isn’t this Xiahou? Have you come to take Tai Sui’s life?"

Xiahou Zunchi replied sternly, "I’ve come to save Leodar’s life."

With that, his gaze locked onto the throne entwined by the demon tree’s roots, and he suddenly swung a massive hammer down.

"Boom!"

A strike from the Quasi-Dragon King was something the demon tree couldn’t withstand; it was smashed apart from the throne in an instant.

Xiahou Zunchi grasped the throne and quickly extracted Leodar’s remnant body.

The demon tree buzzed, rapidly repairing, while a flash of golden light darted toward Xiahou Zunchi.

Xiahou Zunchi didn’t stand on ceremony and swung back with a punch.

However, the demon tree was just a feint.

It looked like it was coming head-on to snatch the throne, but it had actually given up, weaving in an erratic path and suddenly bypassing.

"Ah!"

Instead, it was Sofia who was severely injured.

She charged in pursuit, only to be caught by Xiahou Zunchi’s strike.

"This..." Xiahou was stunned too, horrified as he watched the demon tree move into the distance, thinking to himself how terrifying Tai Sui’s consciousness was.

Could it even anticipate his attack?

Sofia, riding the waves, pursued, shouting angrily, "This is Sea King Port’s territory; no need for you to cause chaos here!"

"Tai Sui’s consciousness is elusive. The more enemies there are, the more it uses them, so he must be forcefully subdued by a single hand!"

Sofia roared but did not blame Xiahou for accidentally harming her.

Because after battling the demon tree for so long, she was well aware of the ominous conscience of the opponent.

Operating entirely in cognitive blind spots, it left one defenseless.

If not for her stormy attacks, vast and powerful, she might find it truly difficult to win against this guy.

Theoretically, the more attackers, the more mutual hindrance unless they were flawlessly coordinated; otherwise, the more flaws.

The earlier situation where three attacked one and ended up getting Leodar killed was evident.

"Tai Sui, I’ll handle it!"

Sofia’s tone was assertive, not giving face even to a Quasi-Dragon King.

Xiahou Zunchi, reprimanded, didn’t get angry but respectfully backed off, "Sea Snake, this is your territory, naturally for you to command. I’m just here to rescue someone."

Sea Snake Sofia, once a force on the open sea giving many Quasi-Dragon Kings a hard time, was now the helm of Sea King Port.

Her power and authority demanded respect from everyone.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

The demon tree moved swiftly. Having abandoned the throne, it now loomed over Seal Village.

It needed a supplement, much like how plants crave water and soil.

In this direction, protected by the Bear King, the area wasn’t submerged by seawater.

In an instant, thousands of roots plunged down, deeply embedding into the alloy foundations of Seal Village.

A terrifying digestive fluid erupted, gradually dissolving various constructions.

Many lay on the streets, all severely wounded or genetically broken individuals overturned by battle waves before.

They watched the roots descending in despair, thinking the end had come.

Yet, the unexpected happened.

Or rather, no one could fathom the demon tree’s mind.

"Pssh pssh pssh!"

The demon tree did not devour them; instead, its roots pierced their bodies and transferred flesh and blood energy.

"Ugh ah!" Those whose genes had broken down or wolf-levels heavily wounded all roared.

They felt life force expand throughout their bodies, baptizing their flesh and blood.

In a mere instant, those genetically broken were actually healed.

No, more accurately, they transcended genetic collapse, genetically reorganized, transitioning into Radiation!

Was this demon tree actually helping those people undergo life transitions!

"What!"

"Holy shit!"

"What the hell?"

This scene shocked everyone, scaring them witless.

Seahorse, Bear King, and Xiahou Zunchi, the three Quasi-Dragon Kings, were stunned, and Apostle Solomon even halted his battle, descending from the sky.

The demon tree, in an instant, elevated tens of thousands into Radiation; those who were meant to die instead stepped into wolf-level.

Not a penny spent!

As for those already wolf-level, some made small breakthroughs or realized multiple stages of overclocking.

Though these individuals had weak power, they were numerous.

Combined, they formed a powerful force.

"Gulp! Gulp!"

The demon tree seemed only to activate the deep-seated power in their genes, not greatly depleting itself.

And now these newly empowered individuals began, in turn, to feed back into the demon tree through its roots!

The returns were enormous!

"Boom!"

Sofia, wrapped in overwhelming waves, clashed with the demon tree head-on.

Both were severely damaged, but the demon tree managed to repel Sofia, sending her flying back along with the ocean as if at ebb tide.

Sofia exclaimed, "What’s going on?"

Helping people become Radiation, even making breakthroughs, and then absorbing their power in return, such manipulations were unheard of.

She couldn’t comprehend it, but that this demon tree was mysterious and amazing, there was no doubt.

Moreover, the Demon Tree has stepped into the True Elephant Level!

It advanced three levels overnight!

"Be careful! The Angel Envoy is descending!"

Seahorse fiercely attacked Solomon, but Solomon charged straight down, only defending and no longer entangling with him.

"Xiahou, Bear King, help me block the Angel Envoy!" Sofia said, diving back into the sea, continuing to gather the force of thousands of waves.

Xiahou and Bear King actually took action, and for a moment, the three Quasi-Dragon Kings confronted the Angel Envoy head-on!

Solomon unleashed his full firepower, still holding his ground.

At the same time, Sofia also gathered her strength and charged again.

This time, she went all out, aiming directly for the Demon Tree, determined to attain her goal, completely disregarding the lives of the villagers.

"Shatter the world!" Sofia charged at the cost of her life, her biological field shrouding the surroundings.

The Earthly Snake coiled and engulfed the Demon Tree directly.

Though the Demon Tree had broken through, its nourishment was insufficient; having lost its throne, its combat power actually did not increase significantly.

Facing Sofia’s astonishing super boundary full-force attack at this moment, it finally ran out of strength.

The devastating destructive power shattered the Demon Tree on the spot.

"Tai Sui..." Seahorse said wistfully, while Bear King furrowed his brows.

In the end, it was too arrogant; the Demon Tree first suffered severe damage from the two Quasi-Dragon Kings, Seahorse and Xiahou Zunchi.

Being rootless like duckweed, under Sofia’s fierce assault, it was ultimately completely shattered.

Countless fragments fell, cells ruptured, mixed with the seawater, becoming a pool of sewage.

The Demon Tree was defeated.

However, at the critical moment, Solomon cast an orange force field, saving a mass of roots.

That mass of roots still had vitality, teetering on the edge of death, squirming, expanding.

"Seahorse! Hurry!" Sofia panted, her hair disheveled, and her face turned grim upon seeing Solomon save a mass of the Demon Tree’s wreckage.

Previously, Seahorse actually had a chance to stop Solomon, but he didn’t; instead, he fell into the village, blocking the tsunami and saving all the villagers’ lives.

This action allowed Solomon to break through the Quasi-Dragon King line and save the Demon Tree.

"The combat card has limitations; the Angel Envoy doesn’t have much time left!" Sofia reminded everyone, taking a pill and staring at the Angel Envoy.

The other Quasi-Dragon Kings were also on high alert, surrounding Solomon.

The Demon Tree in his hand grew freely, soon sprouting a trunk once more.

"Quick! Stop it!" Sofia shouted, charging again.

Seahorse went with her, launching a full assault on Solomon.

But something astonishing happened.

After Solomon shook both of them off with great effort, he didn’t pursue further but instead, with a sudden palm, shattered the regenerating Demon Tree!

"Ah?" Everyone was stunned. Did the Angel Envoy kill its master?

Could it be that the Demon Tree displayed the ability to help humans become Radiation, arousing the Angel Envoy’s jealousy?

It turned out that Solomon indeed collected some plant cells.

Afterward, Solomon suddenly played a lullaby to the twisted Demon Tree wreckage: "Sleep well, sleep well, obediently sleep here, the little bed rocks back and forth, mommy is here..."

It was a lullaby commonly used by moms to coax their children to sleep twenty years ago.

Solomon played it very beautifully, the notes were standard.

Of course, there was no emotion, it was all technique.

As the wreckage of the Demon Tree listened to the lullaby, it first trembled and then sprouted edible fruits that fell.

Then the whole body began to transform.

From plant cells, it reverted to human cells.

That was no longer a mass of roots but a withered and broken human body, it was Gao Xin.

"It actually worked..."

Solomon himself didn’t know what would happen.

Everyone was amazed, initially thinking the Angel Envoy had a method to control the Demon Tree; turns out, it wasn’t?

Indeed it wasn’t; it was actually a backdoor left by Gao Xin, a lullaby his mom sang to him when he was very small to put him to sleep.

He didn’t even remember what his mom looked like; he just remembered this song.

It was a lullaby rooted in his subconscious; whenever he heard it, it would evoke his blurred memories and make him want to sleep.

Of course, Tai Sui is the subjective personality; his mind could resist the drowsiness. Not only wouldn’t he sleep, but he could also even cry himself to dehydration and death.

However, Demon Nature is the subconscious personality, it is instinctual.

And this lullaby triggers the instinct shared by both Gao Xin and Demon Nature, a song implanted in his heart by his biological mother even before Gao Jiaoji started cultivating him.

When his body is controlled by instinct, this song could make him fall asleep.

As for the plantification form, Gao Xin had also considered it. Luckily, although plantification is instinctually guided, it is still possible to leave a backdoor.

After all, Delili could understand human speech back then and trigger actions like ’growing fruits for the villagers to eat’, which were all preset.

Gao Xin’s preset instinctual operation was to hear his mom’s lullaby and transform back into a human.

"Everyone, I’m off duty now, let’s call it a day."

Seeing Gao Xin settled down, Solomon swiftly grabbed him and escaped.

He concealed his brilliance and went into stealth mode, disappearing into the night sky.

Angel Envoys are T0 level Quasi-Dragon Kings, comparable to Island Master Adam...

If he really wants to leave, there aren’t many people on the island who can stop him.

Sofia was furious: "Chase!"

Seahorse nodded and gave chase.

Xiahou Zunchi and Bear King exchanged a glance but didn’t move.

Among them, Xiahou sighed secretly: "Caesar was really right, Tai Sui still had a backup plan."

But the monk may run, yet the temple can’t; Wan Kai is still getting thrashed by the Lion King in Death Hills.
