"Fire attacks? Is it really that simple?" Lin Yifei's beautiful eyes flickered incessantly. Clearly, she felt it was far too simple.

With a life-form that powerful, would it really fear a mere fire attack?

If a fire attack could kill it, wouldn't that make things far too easy?

But no matter how Jiang Yue looked at it, he didn't seem to be lying. So the Bizarre Tree's fleeing because of the fire attack was probably true.

Of course, Jiang Yue hadn't told her that his fire attack wasn't ordinary fire, but the spirit fire of the Flame Talisman—a second-order spirit talisman.

"Classmate Lin, the first time I faced you in that building scheduled for demolition, you were already able to control many bizarre insects, and their offensive power was terrifying. So much time has passed since then, and your strength must have improved further. Haven't you ever sent those insects to attack it?"

"You think I never tried?"

"They couldn't get close at all. As soon as my swarm approached the area around Wuzhou Park, countless terrifying tentacles seized them. It was practically an ocean of tentacles. They sealed off the entire space, leaving no opening to break through. Even if my swarm were ten times larger, I'm afraid it still couldn't break through that inescapable net. The Bizarre Tree's root system is so developed that I could only conclude its level of life is far too high."

"Those tentacles aren't all its own. It mutated the ancient trees around it, as well as the pear and peach trees. The ancient trees in particular formed a certain consciousness by absorbing the essence of human life, becoming its staunchest loyalists. Those roots actually belong to those ancient trees."

"Oh?" That made Lin Yifei suddenly understand.

She had always found it strange.
