The Crimson Giant Tree That Blocked Out the Sky! Disaster Strikes! Risk and Opportunity!

"Mommy, Mommy, waaaaah..."

The little girl was still crying and had no idea that the Fox-Eared Girl was there.

The Fox-Eared Girl glanced at her; she was covered in blood, with bleeding wounds everywhere.

The injuries weren't serious, just superficial wounds, but they looked quite gruesome.

It will most likely leave a scar after it heals.

"Stop crying, open your mouth."

The Fox-Eared Girl looked at the little girl and said softly.

The little girl ignored her and continued to wail, calling for her mother.

The Fox-Eared Girl had little patience; a bewitching purple light flashed in her eyes, instantly taking control of the little girl's mind.

Then, in a firm tone, he commanded, "Stop crying! Open your mouth!"

The crying stopped as soon as she finished speaking.

The little girl obeyed the command, opening her mouth in a daze.

The Fox-Eared Girl raised her delicate hand, flicked her finger, and shot a pill into the little girl's mouth.

The pill melted instantly upon entering the mouth, healing the little girl's wounds and restoring her damaged skin to its original state.

Afterwards, the Fox-Eared Girl spread her Mental Power into the ruins ahead, searching for the little girl's mother.

A moment later, she spotted a figure in the ruins.

She was a young woman.

A steel bar pierced through the woman's chest, and she fell into a coma due to excessive blood loss.

It won't be long before it's completely devoid of life.

Completely dead.

With a thought, the Fox-Eared Girl created a teleportation array beneath the woman, teleporting her out of the ruins.

Then, with another flick of his finger, he sent a pill into the woman's mouth.

Once the pill entered her mouth, the woman's injuries began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Her pale face gradually regained its color.

He has successfully escaped danger to his life.

Seeing that the woman was alright, the Fox-Eared Girl turned her gaze to the others around her.

At first glance, what one sees is a scene of utter devastation.

Everywhere you look, there are ruins.

Earthling dying and being injured.

Cries, groans, screams... and other sounds filled the air.

The Fox-Eared Girl stood quietly for a while, a pang of pity rising in her heart.

His mental strength then surged, creating a massive teleportation array within a radius of several hundred meters.

Then, with a thought, he teleported all the Earth creatures on the magic circle to a safe area.

After doing all that.

The Fox-Eared Girl felt a wave of dizziness and staggered a few steps, her body feeling weak.

The strain was too great; my body simply couldn't handle it.

Fortunately, there are medicinal pills that can alleviate the symptoms.

The Fox-Eared Girl paused for a moment, then conjured a blue pill out of thin air in her hand and swallowed it without thinking.

The blue pill transforms into wisps of warm blue light upon entering the mouth, smoothly flowing deep into the brain and significantly accelerating the generation of mental energy.

Only a few seconds later.

The Fox-Eared Girl, who had just been so dizzy she could barely stand, suddenly became energetic and her dejection vanished.

"Why are you saving Earthling...?"

From the Crimson Giant Tree behind them, a hideous human face slowly emerged, its eyes filled with confusion as it asked the Fox-Eared Girl.

The Fox-Eared Girl didn't answer the question; instead, she asked in return, "Why wouldn't I save the Earthling?"

"Since they've invaded Earth, their natural course of action is to kill Earthling, not save Earthling..."

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not like your Sun-Moon Sacred Land. I never intended to invade Earth. I just hitched a ride with you to Earth to find my bed slave, that's all."

"Whether it's our Sun-Moon Sacred Land or your Qingqiu Ancient Mountain, both represent the Origin Land..."

"We, Qingqiu Ancient Mountain, are just a small neutral force with no ambitions. Don't try to change our stance."

Shanhai University.

Family Residential Area.

As soon as Lin Zichen returned home, his parents in the living room quickly got up to greet him and asked how he and Shen Qinghan were doing and whether they had been injured in the earthquake.

"Dad, Mom, Hanhan and I have both evolved to the Advanced stage of Biological Rank. Our bodies are invulnerable to blades and bullets. Even if the house collapses, we'll be fine."

Lin Zichen smiled and said.

Zhang Wanxin rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. "You really are something. What do you mean by saying 'even if the house collapses, nothing will happen'? Why say such unlucky things?"

"What our son said is true!" Lin Yansheng said from the side.

Zhang Wanxin glared at him and said with displeasure, "Why are you arguing with me when I'm just concerned about our son!"

As Zhang Wanxin glared at Lin Yansheng, Lin Zichen glanced at Zhang Wanxin's stomach.

Nearly half a year has passed, and Zhang Wanxin, who is pregnant, now has a noticeably protruding belly, and she will give birth in about four months.

A simple family of three will soon welcome a new member.

I don't know if it's a younger brother or sister.

I hope to have a younger sister...

Lin Zichen thought to himself.

For the next while, the two families sat together in the living room, discussing with worried expressions the giant Crimson Giant Tree that had suddenly appeared in the city center.

Lin Zichen didn't discuss it for long. He just said some words to reassure his parents and quickly left home to walk to the rooftop of the apartment building.

I imagined standing on a high point and using [Eye of the Sky] to look at the Crimson Giant Tree in the city center and see what the current situation was.

Seeing that he was going to the rooftop, Shen Qinghan followed him without thinking.

After arriving at the rooftop.

Lin Zichen leaped and landed on the water tower at the highest point of the residential building, quietly gazing at the city center ten miles away.

With the added effect of [Eye of the Sky], he could see every detail over there clearly.

The Crimson Giant Tree soared into the clouds.

A large area of ruins lay beneath the tree.

The surrounding area was filled with Mechanical Cyborg had come to the rescue.

Everything that's happening right now looks perfectly normal.

But soon, Lin Zichen realized something was wrong.

Such a major accident happened in the city center, how come there aren't many casualties?

What's going on?

Lin Zichen was completely baffled by this.

And in the city center...

The Mechanical Cyborg in charge of the rescue were equally puzzled.

The area Crimson Giant Tree, which was clearly the most severely damaged, why are there so few casualties there?

This is really a bit strange.

But as strange as it was, Mechanical Cyborg.

Instead, they were busy evacuating citizens from the city center to prevent the Scarlet Towering Tree from causing further disturbances and greater casualties.

"How much longer until Professor Huang, the expert in Exotic Plant, arrives?"

A male Mechanical Cyborg, leading a rescue team while carrying heavy loads, asked the female Mechanical Cyborg beside him.

The Mechanical Cyborg woman replied, "It should take about 10 minutes!"

"What about the support from the Military District?"

"I'll be there in 5 minutes at the latest!"

How many Mecha can the Military District deploy?

"Six Mecha in total —Shenzhen-class, Changzhou-class, Dongguan-class, Daoshan-class, Haiyuan-class, Zhanhai-class— are all ready to be deployed and are rushing to the city center from the provincial Military District headquarters!"

The Mechanical Cyborg woman answered accurately.

The male Mechanical Cyborg nodded, and then led a group of Mechanical Cyborg to immediately begin rescue work.

All the scenes and sounds unfolding in the city center were seen and heard by Lin Zichen, who was far away in the faculty and staff quarters of Shanhai University.

But he didn't care at all.

At this moment, his attention was entirely focused on that towering, Crimson Giant Tree.

The Crimson Giant Tree is extremely tall, estimated to be over a kilometer high.

It is twice the height of the "Slim Waist Tower" in Changzhou City.

The trunk is nearly 100 meters in diameter and covers an area almost equivalent to a standard 400-meter running track, which is quite impressive.

The area covered by the branches and leaves is 1,000 times the area of the trunk, reaching 10 million square meters, shrouding the entire city center in an eerie scarlet shadow.

It blotted out the sky and blocked out the sun.

Eerie and gloomy.

It makes people feel extremely uneasy.

Lin Zichen looked at the towering, scarlet tree in the city center, his expression grave.

It's just one tree, yet it manages to block out the entire city center.

Having lived as a human for nineteen years, he had never seen such an exaggeratedly enormous creature.

Even the Mythical Kunpeng, whose size could blot out the sky, could only be this large at most.

"Lin Zi, that tree in the city center is huge! How high must its Biological Rank be?"

Shen Qinghan frowned slightly, feeling quite uneasy.

After saying that, she hesitated for a moment, then irresponsibly suggested, "I feel like we can't stay in Shanhai City anymore. Why don't we take Mom and Dad and leave?"

Lin Zichen shook his head and said, "You can run for a while, but you can't run forever."

"If Shanhai City is truly captured, other places will soon follow suit."

"Rather than clinging to life for a little longer, it's better to stay and protect Shanhai City, and prepare for the potential disasters that may follow."

He had no intention of leaving Shanhai City and wanted to stay and stand with the Shanhai City and thin.

Or, to be more precise, they want to obtain evolutionary resources in the event of a potential catastrophe to accelerate their own evolution.

Shen Qinghan pursed her lips and said, "But... I think it's better to survive a little longer than to go to the battlefield now and face a near-certain death."

Lin Zichen disagreed, saying, "Disaster is both a risk and an opportunity."

"The evolutionary resources on Earth are too scarce to meet the evolutionary needs of both of us."

"If we want to accelerate our evolution, we need to accept challenges, embrace risks, and hunt down Exotic Beast Exotic Plant to obtain evolutionary resources."

The appearance of the Crimson Giant Tree reminded him of the sudden appearance of a large number of Exotic Plant and Exotic Beast in Shanhai City, leading him to suspect that all three events were the work of the Divine Plant Cult.

He had a premonition that a large number of Exotic Beast Exotic Plant would soon emerge from the city center and invade Shanhai City.

These Exotic Beast Exotic Plant will become the nourishment for his evolution.

"But I think taking a steady and solid approach is better; there's no need to blindly pursue rapid evolution..."

After listening to Lin Zichen's words, Shen Qinghan thought about it and still disagreed, so she could only weakly say...

She didn't want to take any risks; she just wanted to live a good life with the people who mattered to her, nothing more.

Lin Zichen patiently explained to her, "You need to understand that time waits for no one."

"The current situation on Earth is visibly bad."

"If we don't evolve into higher-level beings as quickly as possible within the limited time, then when the Earth suddenly and completely falls, we will be powerless to protect ourselves and can only wait to die."

"In order to have enough self-defense capabilities when that day arrives, we must race against time to accelerate our evolution and take slightly more risks."

No sooner had he said that than his phone in his pocket began to jerk violently.

Lin Zichen took out his phone from his pocket and saw that it was a notification from the school's app.

[Urgent Notice!]

[Students whose Biological Rank is at Ordinary Tier 5 (Ordinary) should immediately assemble at the gymnasium and await further instructions to proceed to the city center for rescue operations!]

[No unexcused absences are permitted; failure to comply will result in legal consequences!]

[Minor offenses result in disciplinary action, serious offenses in expulsion, and even more serious offenses in imprisonment!]

After reading the four notifications, Lin Zichen raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

He hadn't expected that going to the city center to provide support would be mandatory.

This is similar to conscripting men for the battlefield during wartime.

It seems that the sudden appearance of the Crimson Giant Tree has had a far more serious impact than imagined.

The higher echelons of humanity must know something...

Lin Zichen's thoughts.

Shen Qinghan, who was standing nearby, also saw the notification on the school's app and said anxiously, "Lin Zi, this seems to be more serious than we thought..."

Lin Zichen didn't say anything, only saying, "Let's go, let's go to the gymnasium to meet up."

"Um."

Shen Qinghan nodded.

Soon, the two left the rooftop and prepared to head to the stadium.

Before setting off, the two went home to say goodbye to their parents and tell them what they were going to do next.

When the parents of both families heard that their children were about to go to the city center for rescue work, they were extremely worried and asked if they could not go.

Undoubtedly, the final answer was that we had no choice but to go; there was no escaping it.

Xu Meng, her face full of worry, stopped in front of Lin Zichen and pleaded in an almost begging tone:

"Xiao Chen, Aunt Meng and your Uncle Shen only have Hanhan as their daughter. You must protect her for Aunt Meng and Uncle Shen and make sure nothing happens to her."

"Don't worry, Aunt Meng, I will definitely protect Hanhan."

Lin Zichen said with certainty.

After saying this, he and Shen Qinghan wasted no more time and left home together to go to the gymnasium to meet.

On the road.

Shen Qinghan said earnestly, "Lin Zi, if you are to be Human Traitor by the Divine Plant Cult, I will go with you. I will beg them to kidnap me too."

"Good."

Lin Zichen offered no words of comfort, only responding with this single word.

He felt that if he were really captured by the Divine Plant Cult, it would be better if Shen Qinghan were captured by the Divine Plant Cult as well.

To be honest, he was worried about letting Shen Qinghan live alone. Rather than letting Shen Qinghan live alone, it would be better for the two of them to survive together in the Divine Plant Cult.

Even within the Divine Plant Cult, as long as he's there, he can guarantee Shen Qinghan's safety.

The two arrived at the stadium shortly afterward.

Upon entering, the place was completely empty, with hardly anyone around.

Only the Student Union members were present.

Clearly, Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan arrived relatively early.

"Let's go wait over there."

Lin Zichen glanced around the stadium and looked at a seat by the window.

Just as he was about to lead Shen Qinghan to the window.

Suddenly!

A strong tremor came from the ground beneath my feet.

The ground trembled slightly.

The ceiling creaked.

The shock caused everyone present to show signs of panic.
