Chapter 412: Chapter 291 Qian Lv

Ji Xinghuo walked up to Ren Mian, and a sight of wonder came into view.

This was a massive underground space, covered by countless plants—roots, vines, and branches that intertwined with the ruins of buildings that had long since been abandoned.

Roots and vines dangled from above, and the ground was covered in a jungle so dense and thriving it could rival the primeval forests on the surface.

Among them were many luminescent plants.

They emitted a dim light, revealing traces of civilization; it was clear that this place had been carved out by human hands. The dome was approximately three hundred meters above the ground, supported every few hundred meters by colossal square crystal columns that extended for kilometers.

"A city of the Crystal Elite Clan?" Ji Xinghuo asked.

"Correct."

Ren Mian nodded slightly, "Long ago, it was an underground city of the Crystal Elite Clan, but it was later conquered and turned into a breeding chamber for the genetic mother tree."

So that was the case.

Ji Xinghuo wasn’t surprised. He had seen relevant information on the official website of the Eternal Day Guardians; places like this were not rare on Earth Abyss Star.

Many cities of the Crystal Elite Clan, after being overrun by plants, had become nests for monsters.

Very dangerous, but also brimming with opportunities.

Some Eternal Day Guardians would form teams to venture into the Underground City, and anyone who made it out alive would gain tremendously.

The monsters in the Underground City were never-ending, like leeks that would regrow shortly after being cut down.

However, such a vast plant-covered underground city still took Ji Xinghuo by surprise.

His electromagnetic induction spread out, but failed to reach the end of the underground city, and this was a Sixth Level area underground, very close to the Star Gate, meaning the strength and numbers of the monsters were far more terrifying than those of usual underground cities.

"How come there are no monsters?"

Ji Xinghuo sensed something was amiss—it was irrational; had someone just swept through here?

"No one has been here." Ren Mian replied, "This underground city is like this because it has all been marked as the territory of one of the most powerful monsters."

"The Vine Banyan Composite?"

"Yes."

Ji Xinghuo received the affirmation and couldn’t help but have a solemn look in his eyes. If it had a clear sense of territory, then it was no longer an ordinary monster.

It might even have intelligence.

Such an enemy was far more dangerous than a typical monster, especially since Ren Jie had mentioned it could very likely be a Heavenly King Level!

"We’ll fly in," Ren Mian said.

Ji Xinghuo picked her up, and before taking off, Ren Mian waved her hand to cast "Optical Invisibility," making the light around them distort and darken, making them hard to see in the dim environment, and used "Sweat-Absorbing Orchid Leaves" to eliminate their scent.

"Fly slower." Ready to proceed, Ren Mian said in her mind, "Try not to disturb it."

Ji Xinghuo nodded silently, his feet leaving the ground.

They had entered through a passage on a rock wall, and now they flew out, hovering in the air and moving slowly forward without making a sound.

"All the plants in the underground city are just one."

"You must not touch any plant."

Heeding Ren Mian’s reminder, Ji Xinghuo carefully maneuvered his flight. Many roots and vines dangled from the dome, some massive enough to avoid easily, but others were as thin as spider silk and hard to see in the dim light.

Thankfully, within his electromagnetic sense, even the thinnest roots were clearly visible.

Flying over buildings covered in vine leaves, they entered deeper into the underground city, and after a while, Ji Xinghuo suddenly stopped.

"I’ve found it."

In the electromagnetic induction, directly in the center of the underground city stood an enormous plant. Its trunk sprouted from the ground, over twenty meters in diameter, with its highest branches reaching the dome like a canopy. Countless branch roots hung from the tree to the ground, where they took root again and grew into a multitude of trees.

One tree was a forest!

And that was just the tip of the iceberg; the tree’s vast root system extended deep underground, far beyond the radius of Ji Xinghuo’s electromagnetic induction.

All the plants in the underground city grew from its roots.

Ji Xinghuo sensed a dauntingly powerful presence from the giant tree, even causing ripples in the Ether Energy, coming precisely from that tree.

"Terrifying..."

He was struck with a chilling sensation.

Ren Mian also had a serious expression as she looked at the huge shadow in the dimness, communicating through the mind-link necklace, "This Vine Banyan Composite has evolved to its late stage; it’s Earthquake Level, equivalent in strength to a First Dan Heavenly King."

Obviously seeing Ji Xinghuo’s concern, she explained: "Although its main body is huge, its true combat form is not this tree."

"What will it be, then?" Ji Xinghuo wondered.

"It will be its avatar."

It seemed Ren Mian had already encountered it before, "We will split up. You pretend to attack the giant tree head-on to draw out its avatar. Don’t think about killing the avatar, just hold it off; that will create an opportunity for me."

"If you can’t hold it, escape through the passage."

"Its avatar cannot get too far from the Vine Banyan Composite; once you make it to the surface, you’ll be safe."

After hearing Ren Mian’s plan, Ji Xinghuo grew even more apprehensive, the prospect of taking on an Earthquake Level monster’s assault seemed enormously risky, and he couldn’t help but suspect, was Ren Jie trying to set him up?

"Could this really work?" Ji Xinghuo doubted.

"Trust me, Xinghuo." Ren Mian wrapped her arms around his neck, caressed his face, and said softly, "You matter more to me than any Alien Species; I wouldn’t dare to send you to your death. Believe in me and also in your strength."

Ji Xinghuo looked into her eyes, "Ren Jie, you have more confidence in me than I do."

"In this world, no one understands your excellence and character better than I do." Ren Mian’s eyes showed genuine emotion, and she thought to herself, "My silly boy."
