Chapter 567 Kill the enemy to the bitter end!
Boom boom boom~!
As a massive tremor came from underground, the ground, which had been almost completely cleared, began to crack. The plants whose surface parts were destroyed, leaving only their underground root systems, snapped one by one in the cracks, making a sound of being unable to bear the weight!
"Hurry up!"
Upon noticing the commotion, Cangnian immediately shouted loudly.
As he spoke, he revealed his true form, activated the Wind Tiger skill, and, along with Little Purple Sable and his companions, rode the gale, detached themselves from the ground, and flew into the sky!
Soon, the group flew to an altitude of several hundred meters.
However, at this moment, the ground completely cracked open, and long, thick tree roots, like swimming dragons, emerged from the cracks, chasing after Cang Nian and his group like vengeful ghosts!
Clearly, the self-destruction of the demon Godzilla is quite different from a real nuclear explosion.
Moreover, being exposed to a nuclear explosion does not necessarily mean certain death.
With sufficiently deep and robust fortifications, even with materials available before the spiritual energy revival, it is still possible to survive not far from the epicenter of a nuclear explosion.
This banyan tree is already over a kilometer tall above ground, and its canopy covers several kilometers in circumference.
With such a massive size, the underground portion would only need to become even larger to stabilize it.
Therefore, even now, high in the air, once the dust settles, Cang Nian can see that the area around Godzilla's self-destruction site has been leveled, and the ground beneath the banyan tree has been reduced to scorched earth.
But with its size, its complex root system underground probably extends more than a kilometer deep!
In this way, even a nuclear explosion could not take its life, let alone Godzilla's self-destruction, which is less powerful than a nuclear explosion.
No wonder, I haven't received the system notification sound yet.
How could there be a system notification sound if the banyan tree wasn't killed?
Moreover, it is very likely that killing evolved plants is different from killing evolved animals.
Cangnian had indirectly killed evolved plants before, but he did not gain system proficiency from them.
For example, in the earliest days, when dealing with mycelium, they would set fire to the mountain to destroy the mycelium.
But burning so many trees didn't yield any additional skill proficiency.
Similarly, when faced with an insect swarm, Cangnian used the same method, attempting to use fire to annihilate the swarm.
Although it didn't work that time, as the queen insect escaped by burrowing underground, it still burned a large area of plants, and I didn't gain any skill proficiency.
Perhaps... the plant is too large, so the system doesn't take it into account?
However, now is not the time to consider that.
"ah--!!!
You wretched tiger! I'll skin you alive and tear you apart!
I'll make you wish you were dead!
As the ground below cracked open, tree roots burst forth and attacked Cang Nian and his group, accompanied by a hoarse, noisy roar.
Needless to say, it's that fifth-tier banyan tree.
Although the ground portion is damaged, it will not endanger the life of the banyan tree.
However, without the photosynthesis and respiration of the branches and leaves above ground, its growth will be greatly limited.
Although it is true that it is not as difficult for evolved plants to regenerate new branches and leaves as it is for ordinary plants before the spiritual energy revival.
However, even a fifth-tier banyan tree would need to expend a tremendous amount of energy and time to restore such a massive ground area.
The spiritual energy revival is in its early stages, the initial phase of an evolutionary wave. If you're slow at one step, you'll be slow at every step.
The fifth-tier banyan tree, due to some fortuitous encounter, reached the forefront of the evolutionary wave and should have been a trendsetter of the times, one of the biggest beneficiaries of this spiritual revival.
As a result, due to its advanced age, it is destined to consume a lot of energy and time to recover. By the time it recovers and returns to its peak condition, it is unknown how long it will be.
In that case, can it maintain its current leading advantage?
Of course it’s impossible!
Compared to this, Cangnian's killing of all of its powerful fifth-tier generals seemed insignificant.
Because only this is the truly fundamental event that affects its own evolution!
At this moment, it was filled with regret, regretting that it had been too arrogant before, insisting on enslaving Cangnian's spirit instead of decisively killing him, which led to the terrible price it was paying now.
However, what's done is done; the damage it has suffered is a fait accompli, and no amount of regret can undo the damage.
But since that's the case, let's just go all out!
Now, we must kill Cang Nian to appease its hatred!
"Your Majesty, what should we do next?"
Looking at the ground, which was now in a frenzy, with the banyan tree roots baring their claws as if they were about to overturn the earth, the little sable looked at Cang Nian and asked.
These banyan tree roots are indeed very thick and long, with each main root larger than the black king snake.
But this thing is, after all, a massive evolved plant, and its speed is a fatal flaw.
Therefore, whether they run or fight, the initiative lies with the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom.
"Let's see if we can kill it."
Since we've offended them, we must wipe them out completely.
Upon hearing this, Cang Nian spoke decisively.
However, the problem now is that this thing is really too big.
It is likely that the root system of this fifth-tier banyan tree covers an area of four or five kilometers, and is even more dense and lush than the tree canopy.
Such a colossal creature, especially one without a fatal core, presents a real challenge in how to kill it.
At least, Cang Nian himself had no way to deal with it.
After all, his special ability is [Numerical Master], and his forte is physical combat.
Even if you use an overpowered burst attack, it should be unstoppable against the roots of this banyan tree.
But as long as the main body of the banyan tree isn't completely destroyed, it probably won't die.
Therefore, it would indeed be difficult for Cang Nian to kill this fifth-tier banyan tree on his own.
Originally, there was also a ghoul Godzilla, who, if not for his heroic sacrifice, could have used his atomic breath to slowly grind down the fifth-tier banyan tree.
But now, Cangnian has no means to do anything to it.
Fortunately, the banyan tree can't attack our group for the time being. If its roots extend over, we just need to raise the tree a little.
"Hmm... Evolved plants are afraid of fire, so in that case, let Dad take the lead!"
"Yichen, are you going to use Legion Chanting to fully enhance my father's strength and push it to Tier 5!"
If he couldn't do it himself, then he would turn his attention to the reinforcements brought by the little sable. After a little thought, Cang Nian turned his attention to Tiger Dad, and then turned to look at Yi Chen beside him.
"okay!"
Upon hearing this, Yichen quickly responded.
Ouch~!
Tiger Dad nodded excitedly.
Finally, it has a chance to be put to good use!
