The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 740 - 412: Big Bang_2

Subsequently, the distinctively shrill alarm of the Immortal Plant Garden resounded throughout the entirety of Hidden Stream’s territory.

Changtian whispered, "Hurry up and go out, so as to avoid arousing suspicion."

Without any hesitation, she dashed out the door, just in time to meet a few Alchemists who lived nearby; they nodded to each other, assembled together, rode their Magic Artifacts, and headed straight for the Immortal Plant Garden—for such a critical moment, it was essential to move along with the main force, finding more eyewitnesses to clear one’s own suspicion.

Mr. Chan was still lurking in the pond, carefully identifying each guest. Since there seemed to be no external enemies invading, a few Alchemists slightly relaxed, and together with Ning Xiaoxian hurried into the tunnel, entering the garden.

Despite being mentally prepared, the scene before everyone still made them sharply inhale a cold breath.

In the vast valley, the ground was blasted open with four big holes, each crater being at least more than ten meters in diameter. Whatever the explosive material was, it must have originally been buried in the soil, as the explosion’s center was underground, and tons of soil chunks splattered out, scattering across the nearby hundreds of meters on the ground, crushing many tender herbs, damaging them.

The locations of these explosions were set extremely cunningly and maliciously. The first explosion site was buried under a Jialuo Tree over sixty meters tall. After this big tree was completely severed by the explosion, its trunk fell straight down, along with its broad crown spanning several hundred meters wide, crushing countless Immortal Herbs on the ground beneath it.

The second explosion site was located on the bank of a small lake. The violent explosion ripped open a vast mouth in the pond, the lake water surged out through this gap, instantly submerging field after field of medicine...

The third explosion site was buried the deepest, set closest to the geothermal areas. Even though what flowed beneath the ground was no longer red magma, the temperature of the hundreds of degrees black soil still blasted out to the surface, sizzling the plants on landing, followed by a strong burnt scent, and then it caught fire...

If the first three explosion sites were still salvageable, then when their gazes moved to the location of the fourth explosion site, everyone’s faces instantly lost their color—the greenhouse, the greenhouse where the Blood Parasol was planted, had collapsed!

This explosion site was not directly set under the Blood Parasol’s greenhouse but closer to another greenhouse with Red Blood Thorns. However, the explosion’s power was too great, all six nearby greenhouses collapsed, at least from their angle, it was impossible to see the fate of the meticulously tended plants inside.

It seemed like the roars of Hidden Stream’s higher-ups were already echoing faintly in their ears.

Was this still that vibrant and proud Immortal Plant Garden that every Hidden Stream Alchemist took pride in?

Many demon children were hustling through the garden, rescuing medicinal materials. It was imaginable that a large wave of guards and Alchemists were on their way here.

"What are you standing around for, hurry and save the Spirit Grass!" Ning Xiaoxian let out a stern scold, snapping all the Alchemists from their daze; she already dashed towards the Blood Parasol’s greenhouse location. My little darling, don’t you dare die before your sister can lend a hand! She prayed fervently in her heart.

As much as she lamented the destruction of the garden’s precious herbs, muddy waters are good for catching fish, and it would be nice to strip a small branch from the Blood Parasol amidst this chaotic moment! 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Unfortunately, she couldn’t do as she wished; as she approached the collapsed greenhouse, two Hidden Stream Guards silently emerged, their sharp vines forming spears, blocking her path. Clearly, Hidden Stream prioritized the protection of this Blood Parasol even amidst such chaos.

Fortunately, the number of Alchemists rushing to check on the Blood Parasol was significant, so her actions did not stand out. From her perspective, the glaze had already been shattered, reconfirming the explosion’s tremendous power. The fragile little tree was like a helpless young girl, pushed down by the splattered dark soil from the explosion, its life and death unknown, only exposing a bit of its trunk within the mud, the blood-colored patterns on it looking exceptionally harrowing.

In this garden, no plant was more delicate than it. But in this garden, no plant was more precious than it either!

At that moment, Elder He’s roar of fury rose from behind, before he shouted loudly, "What are you still looking at! Go rescue the medicinal materials, go, save as much as you can!" Indeed, at such a time, anyone would hate themselves for not having more hands.

"Hold on!" Qingluan stepped forward, quickly split the Alchemists in the field into seven or eight groups, ordering them to act separately. Hidden Stream Guards also arrived at the scene, but specializing in different fields, they weren’t of much help in treating the herbs.

When it was Ning Xiaoxian’s turn, he actually pointed at her, then drew a line behind her: "You seven, follow her, act on her command! Head to the Northwest Corner!"

There were too many people in front of the Blood Parasol, making it inappropriate to make a move. Insisting on being at the forefront at such a sensitive time would only bring unwarranted suspicion. She silently glanced at the fallen tree; by then, Elder He had already swooped in, gently moving the mud on the tree’s body as if the object lying on the ground was not just a plant but his beloved lover.

Hoping the Blood Parasol could pull through, she silently cursed her bad luck and turned to lead the team to the northwest. Before leaving, she noticed the figures of Sect Leaders Langya and Jiu Mo, as well as Qingluan following behind Jiu Mo. Each of their faces looked terribly grim as they approached Elder He to speak softly. (To be continued.
