Huh?!
Gu Qijue, who was under the mutation tree, also heard a rumbling sound.
He looked up, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
He saw terrifying rocket launchers covering the area, wave after wave.
"What is this?"
The White Fox, unaware of human technology, looked at the flying objects filling the sky and hesitated for a moment.
"Damn it, is the Imperial Army going to bomb this place?"
Two kilometers away, Zhao Hu, Ji Shang, and the others felt their scalps go numb at the sight. They immediately turned to flee, as they didn't know if their Super Martial Armor could withstand such a bombardment of rocket launchers.
Countless mutated creatures present heard the sound and looked up, confused. They only felt curiosity as they didn't know what it was.
"Brother Black Dragon, these flying objects feel very dangerous to me."
The White Fox, a top-tier Evil Seed, felt a sudden palpitation.
Just as Gu Qijue was about to tell her to leave.
When the rocket launchers approached within three kilometers of the mutation tree.
A surprising scene occurred.
All the rocket launchers that got within about three kilometers of the mutation tree suddenly fizzled out and fell from the sky.
Let alone exploding, not even a spark flashed.
"What's going on?!"
In the military's conference hall, Lin Zhengxiao stared at all the falling rocket launchers, completely stunned.
The other high-ranking military officers were also bewildered, not knowing the reason.
"This... this might be due to the magnetic field of that mutation tree, causing the rocket launchers to malfunction."
A moment later, the Minister of the Military Department made this reluctant guess.
Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
Only this explanation made sense.
"What do we do now?"
All the officers looked at Lin Zhengxiao.
"This beast is really lucky."
Lin Zhengxiao's face darkened. "It seems we still need a martial artist to take action to kill it..."
Roar! Roar--
Just then, earth-shattering roars erupted.
Thousands of mutation fruits on the mutation tree had fully ripened at this moment, emitting a very strange and fragrant aroma.
Under this fruity fragrance, the countless mutated creatures gathered there went mad, surging like a flood towards the mutation tree, whose branches alone covered an area of five hundred meters.
Heh heh heh--
The three strange creatures present, with excitement in their eyes, quickly climbed the tree.
The flying mutated creatures circling in the sky also surged towards it.
This world descended into chaos.
Furious roars echoed through the wilderness.
The White Fox transformed into its true form and also climbed the mutation fruit tree at the fastest speed.
Gu Qijue also transformed into his strongest Dragon Man state, surrounded by lightning and stars, holding the Thunder Dragon Sword. With a whoosh, he turned into a black streak of light and ascended the tree, surpassing the three strange creatures.
In just a few breaths, the massive mutation fruit tree was covered with all sorts of mutated creatures.
During this process, they would also fight each other.
One could see large numbers of mutated creatures falling from above.
It was too chaotic.
The flying creatures dominating the sky had the advantage. Some bit down on two or three fruits and flew away, while others greedily swallowed one after another, only to explode from overeating.
Gu Qijue was anxious and let out a roar. The Twin Dragons behind him also roared in response.
Their roars intimidated many mutated creatures, causing them to fall.
He activated the space within his sea of consciousness.
Instantly, more than a dozen nearby mutation fruits disappeared into his forehead.
At the same time, the Twin Dragons behind him each swallowed one.
In just a few dozen seconds, one-third of the thousands of mutation fruits on the tree were gone.
Gu Qijue's dragon might surged around him, and the lightning and stars emitted black lightning, frantically slaughtering the mutated creatures around him.
He approached the more than ten mutation fruits nearby and stored them in the space between his eyebrows with a thought.
"Oh my god!!"
From a distance, Zhao Hu and the others, who were watching, felt their scalps tingle as they looked at the colossal tree covered entirely in mutated creatures.
If they were to get involved in such a scene, they wouldn't last a few seconds before being torn to shreds by the endless monsters.
Whoosh! Whoosh--
Meng Bao appeared, swallowed two fruits on the mutation tree, picked two more, and then left, not greedy at all.
This was because he sensed a golden strange creature was targeting him.
"This... what a terrifying scene. It's not something we can pick."
On Mu Qingxue's side, they had also gotten within two to three miles. Zhu Hongyu felt a chill and her scalp tingled.
Especially seeing Gu Qijue's might, it was no wonder Meng Bao didn't dare to oppose him; he was terrifyingly powerful.
Chu Beixuan watched with a heavy heart, casting a deep glance at his daughter.
Chu Mengxi, however, remained silent. Gu Qijue's strength had also shocked her.
She felt incredibly fortunate about the decision she had made then; otherwise, their family might already be dead.
"Scram!"
On the giant mutation tree, Gu Qijue roared, driving away a golden strange creature, and harvested seven mutation fruits from here.
"You're seeking death!!!"
The golden strange creature, enraged, let out a sharp roar, emanating an eerie golden light all over its body. It ferociously brandished its blades and claws, lunging forward.
Its speed was as swift as a startled swan; even Meng Bao might have been instantly killed if he encountered it.
Gu Qijue's gaze turned cold. Two thunder stars transformed into two thunder spears, which he hurled out to intercept.
Boom! Bang--
Terrifying lightning power erupted. The golden strange creature trembled all over from the electric shock, then its shoulders were pierced. Fear flashed in its eyes, and its heart turned to ice as it turned and fled.
Gu Qijue didn't pursue, as the effect of the mutation fruit was greater than devouring it.
He moved freely on the mutation tree. Now, less than one-tenth of the mutation fruits remained. After Gu Qijue collected five more, In less than two short minutes.
Thousands of mutation fruits were cleared out.
Buzz!!
As all the mutation fruits were harvested.
The entire giant mutation tree began to rapidly retract into the ground.
The intense tremors caused large numbers of mutated creatures on the tree to fall.
"White Fox, let's go!!"
Gu Qijue called out to White Fox and descended the tree at maximum speed.
Under the deterrence of his ferocious aura, no mutated creature dared to block his path.
White Fox quickly followed. She had swallowed a total of three mutation fruits.
The immense energy within her was being suppressed; she needed to find a safe environment to digest it.
"Is he human or that Black Dragon..."
Mu Qingxue watched Gu Qijue and White Fox depart, her eyes filled with hesitation. She then turned to Chu Mengxi and said, "Mengxi, I heard you've interacted with him. Do you know his identity?"
Chu Mengxi thought for a moment and replied, "He said he's human. Also, he's interested in Aunt Mu's shelter. If Auntie can offer it willingly, you won't have to be his enemy."
She said this after careful consideration.
First, she revealed Gu Qijue's identity, and then mentioned his interest in her shelter.
Perhaps this could resolve the matter peacefully.
