Withdrawal

"Damn! Could it be..."

Wang Tao picked up his binoculars. The moment he saw the firelight in the distance, he had a bad feeling.

Red Maple Base was straight ahead, yet the fire was coming from that direction! The sight of flames immediately made Wang Tao think of that Destruction Grade Magma Monster!

Other than some basic data, Wang Tao did not know much about the monster. It had seemed stuck at the cave entrance, and the cave itself appeared unusual. But with the monster's strength, it would eventually get out. It was entirely possible that it had escaped right after Wang Tao left! "Little Gold, faster!"

Wang Tao urged it.

"Chirp~"

The Golden Eagle answered and immediately sped up.

The others also became alert, ready to fight at any moment.

As the firelight grew brighter, the Golden Eagle drew closer and closer to the forest where Red Maple Base was located.

Finally, the Golden Eagle stopped.

Fire—fire everywhere! Half the forest was burning!

Deep within the mountains, they could even see lava flowing like a river!

Rolling waves of heat rushed at them, leaving everyone looking grim.

Yet Wang Tao actually breathed a sigh of relief.

"Although the forest fire is huge, it hasn't spread to Red Maple Base yet. Little Gold, let's go take a look!"

Chirp—

Enduring the scorching heat, Little Gold turned and swooped toward the edge of the sea of fire. Only then did everyone see Red Maple Base in the distance.

Red Maple Base was brightly lit, but it was not suffering from a fire. The Lantern Trees were simply illuminating at full power.

The survivors in the base were in chaos, but under the military's command, they entered the controlled Mutated Plants one after another and managed to evacuate in an orderly fashion.
