The Might of the Iron Vine Grass

"Rustle, rustle~"

The Star Rank 9 Iron Vine Grass fully revealed itself, with overwhelming branches sprouting from its thick main vines, destroying everything in its path without restraint.

"Beep! Beep! Beep!"... "Warning! Warning! A Star Rank 9 lifeform has appeared in the Three Illusion Tree Valley."

The detection system's alert suddenly echoed throughout the high tower.

A Star Rank 9 lifeform was the strongest combat power currently on Thousand Leaf Planet, and the guardians would never trigger the detection system.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"... Four figures flew out in unison.

One Star Rank 9 and three Star Rank 7s—the lineup was exactly the same as in the simulation.

"What the hell!"

An ape-man covered in white fur spoke up, "How could a Star Rank 9 lifeform suddenly appear? Could it be that some slave broke through?"

"What are you thinking?"

The fat man beside him rolled his eyes, "A slave? Why don't you say it's a plant lifeform instead?"

"Stop arguing, let's go see for ourselves."

The leader, a man with a single horn, spoke. His name was Min Jiao, and his strength was at the Star Rank 9.

As his voice fell, four streaks of light cut across the sky.

With the speed of high-level Star Rank warriors, it wouldn't take long to cross an entire planet, and they soon arrived at the location indicated by the alarm.

Upon arrival, they saw vines filling the sky.

"Holy crap!"

"You fat bastard, you were actually right! The vines are iron-colored; this is Iron Vine Grass, a Star Rank 9 Iron Vine Grass!" the white-furred ape-man exclaimed.

"Shut your mouth."

The fat man stared intently at the countless vines, his tone extremely serious, "This is a mutated Iron Vine Grass. Ordinary Iron Vine Grass can only have two main vines even with careful cultivation, but this one has three. Its value is extraordinary, but correspondingly, its strength is comparable to three Star Rank 9 warriors."

As soon as these words were spoken, the white-furred ape-man looked over and identified the three main vines.

"Boss."

The remaining silver-haired man stepped forward.

"Take it down!"

Min Jiao moved his mind, and a suit of white metal armor wrapped around his entire body, while his right hand drew two sharp blades from his back.

The other three did the same.

The next moment, the four of them charged toward the Iron Vine Grass. A Star Rank 9 Iron Vine Grass belonged to the mature stage; even if it had no master, it could no longer be claimed, but such a mutated plant lifeform was worth a fortune even as a corpse.

"Rustle, rustle~"

The Iron Vine Grass's vines paused, having discovered the four people approaching rapidly, and countless vines lashed out from all directions.

The higher the level of a plant lifeform, the more complex its attack methods; for example, the Shaluo Flower could secrete highly corrosive liquid.

As for the Iron Vine Grass, its only methods were lashing and entanglement.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Min Jiao and his team were already a squad, and their coordination was seamless. For a moment, they actually held the upper hand, and it looked as though they were about to sever one of the main vines.

"Hurry, we can't outlast it."

Min Jiao held his twin blades sideways, his body spinning at high speed to cut the vines and create a path for the others, after which the three of them worked together to destroy the next main vine.

Micro World...

"They can't even beat it head-on?"

Han Han was slightly surprised, "It seems the potential of the Iron Vine Grass is still too limited, but you played a part in seizing the Locke Divine Water after all. If there's a chance, I'll still help you reach Immortality."

He wasn't worried about losing; the restorative power of the Locke Divine Water was no joke!

Outside.

The four worked together, and it looked as though they were about to kill the Iron Vine Grass right there, but at that very moment, one drop of Locke Divine Water appeared within its body.

"Rustle, rustle, rustle~"

The vines began to regenerate at high speed, returning to their original peak state in just a few minutes.

It seemed to be saying: Don't rush, I can still fight!

"Boss."

The fat man shouted.

After all, they only had Min Jiao at Star Rank 9; managing to kill it once was already incredibly difficult, and even the slightest mistake would have led to failure.

But who could have known that just as they were about to succeed, the Iron Vine Grass would inexplicably recover to its original state.

"If we take down the Iron Vine Grass, we'll make a fortune."

"If we can't, we have two choices: either we fall here—in which case there's nothing left to say—or we abandon Thousand Leaf Planet and flee. Do you think the master would let us off?" Min Jiao's tone revealed a deep sense of helplessness.

He knew it well.

Once they abandoned Thousand Leaf Planet and fled, the result would be either death or becoming slaves.

"Kill!"

The four of them shouted in unison.

Unfortunately.

At this point, they were nothing more than spent forces; how could a mere Star Rank 9 and three Star Rank 7s possibly kill an Iron Vine Grass capable of infinite recovery?

It started with the three Star Rank 7s.

"Not good."

The white-haired man cursed inwardly, for his stamina had reached its limit, causing him to make a mistake as he watched a main vine lash directly toward him.

"Boom!"

The terrifying force bypassed his combat suit and struck his body, shattering all of his internal organs.

Then the second, then the third; once a single opening appeared, it would rapidly widen. Once the three Star Rank 7s had died one after another, Min Jiao was also unable to resist.

Three main vines shot out simultaneously, sealing off every possible path of movement for Min Jiao.

It was a pity they had only been dispatched here temporarily; if this were truly a high-quality slave planet, how could there only be four high-level Star Ranks guarding it?

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...

The surrounding laser fire never ceased, but such attacks were completely painless and itchy to the Iron Vine Grass.

"Whoosh!"

A vine lashed out, its terrifying power instantly destroying most of the laser weaponry. At this moment, the defenses of Thousand Leaf Planet appeared so laughable before the Iron Vine Grass.

"Go destroy the database."

Han Han commanded the Iron Vine Grass directly through his consciousness. Although he did not show himself, he felt it was still necessary to destroy it.

Following the direction from which Min Jiao and the others had arrived, as well as Han Han's guidance, the Iron Vine Grass soon reached the Central High Tower.

"Rumble~"

Wherever the vines passed, everything shattered and collapsed.

Cuilang Coins, cultivation resources, starships, and various treasures—Han Han wanted none of them.

Destroying buildings and devouring various life-force treasures was the only way a masterless plant lifeform would act.

Compared to his grand plan of concealment, the meager resources of Thousand Leaf Planet were not enough; if his plan succeeded, he could earn it all back with a single future simulation.

This process lasted for two full days, and only when there was not a single intact metal building left on Thousand Leaf Planet did Han Han stop, ordering the Iron Vine Grass to begin leaving Thousand Leaf Planet to wander.

According to his estimates, he would need to reach at least ten million kilometers away before he could emerge, which would take a full day even at the speed of a Star Rank 9 without stopping.

But who was Han Han?

Such an estimate was still not safe enough. Before the operation began, he had already calculated that the simulation cooldown would end exactly on the day he departed.

"Let's begin." Han Han sank his consciousness inward.
