Chapter 1325: The Second Wave of Attack

Lin Qiao immediately figured out the snake’s meaning when it dug the tree out and handed it to her.

‘Oh, do you want me to plant this in my space? That’s a wonderful idea, but…’

After watching the plant wither even before she reached out to take it over, Lin Qiao looked at Black with regret.

The plant withered in less than three seconds after Black dug it out of the ground. That was awkward!

Black turned and looked at the withered black fruit which had shrunken to the size of a baby’s fist, blinking its eyes with confusion.

‘Eh?’

Lin Qiao took the withered plant over from Black’s tail and carefully observed it. Along with her movement, the soil on the tree roots fell off. She then turned to the other trees and fell into thoughts.

Black looked at the withered tree in Lin Qiao’s hand confusedly and then at the other trees.

Lin Qiao thought for a moment before swinging a finger gently toward another tree. Along with a series of puffing noise, her sharp claw stirred the air and cut into the soil around the tree, creating a triangle around it.

Lin Qiao didn’t walk over to dig the tree out immediately, but stayed where she was and spent a few seconds staring at it. As she thought, even though she didn’t uproot the tree, the tree still withered in three seconds, exactly like what happened to the tree that Black dug out earlier.

“I guess they can’t leave the soil. I might be able to move them into my space by cutting out this entire piece of land and putting it in there, but that won’t work. The soil here still contains that harmful kind of energy, so I can’t put it in my space. These plants don’t contain that kind of energy, but they rely on the energy in the soil for survival,” Lin Qiao looked at Black and pointed at the soil with one hand and the energy in the air with the other, explaining helplessly.

Black was very smart. It didn’t understand every word Lin Qiao said, but after witnessing what happened, it understood her meaning. Those plants couldn’t survive once they left that area, not even in her space. So, all that could be done was to pick those fruits and store them. Those trees were very special mutated plants.

Black lowered its head and took a glance at the fruits which were still hanging on the last few small trees in its territory, feeling a little frustrated.

“Woof!” Bowwow came over and barked at Black while wagging its tail, seemingly trying to comfort him.

Lin Qiao tried again to put a tree into her space. This time, she did it as fast as she could to see if things would be different. As a result, she sensed the repulsion her space had toward the plant once it was put in. The space didn’t seem to attack the tree, but it still couldn’t keep its life-force from fading.

So, as same as the last two trees, the third tree, which was put into Lin Qiao’s space along with the soil, withered within three seconds, leaving the ripe fruit maintaining its own energy.

Lin Qiao had found out since the beginning that the energy contained in the ripe fruits was different from the energy in the unripe fruits and the plants. She figured the energy had transformed while ripening.

“No, it’s not working,” Lin Qiao shook her head toward Black.

Black looked at her and then at the fruits left on the trees. Abruptly, it turned around and opened its mouth wide, swallowing all those fruits.

Lin Qiao gave the snake a glance. As those fruits were eaten already, there was nothing left in that place to keep the snake. So, she turned around and waved at her pets before moving toward Duan Juan and the rest of her team.

“Let’s go! It’s time to rejoin the team.”

Deep in the underground realm, about ten miles away from Lin Qiao, an enormous creature suddenly raised its head and turned to look at Lin Qiao and her pets with greed. The moment it turned over, both Lin Qiao and Red paused.

Lin Qiao landed on a huge vine and furrowed her eyebrows as she looked into that direction. Her hunch had always been accurate. She had a sense of crisis, as if she had become a target. That was chilliness coming rising her back to the back of her head. She knew exactly what it meant.

“Hrr…” Red immediately grew on alert. The cat bent its limbs and popped its claws, lowering its neck and head while baring its teeth and uttering a series of deep roars toward that direction.

Lin Qiao stayed where she was and clicked her tongue, “Are we in trouble again? I guess we’re not gonna deal with a plant this time.”

While speaking, she suddenly disappeared, and her vibe faded away completely.

“Roar?” As she expected, the enormous creature in the distance stopped short and started looking around.

As Lin Qiao suddenly disappeared, Black and her friends restrained their vibes. They were relatively safe actually. Their levels were low, so their vibe couldn’t reach a long distance away. That was why the enemy hadn’t discovered them yet. It wouldn’t pay attention to them even if it had discovered them anyway.

Unlike them, Lin Qiao had a very strong vibe. Red was at level-seven and slightly weaker than Lin Qiao, but still good enough for that predator.

Sensing that creature’s vibe, Lin Qiao realized that Red and the other underground creatures were really forced out of the underground realm. If she were right, the owner of that vibe was at the peak of level-eight at least.

Creatures at that level normally loved the food that came with energy, meaning that they liked to hunt high-leveled creatures, especially the ones at the same level as themselves.

The lower leveled ones didn’t have enough energy, while the higher leveled ones were too strong to be defeated. Therefore, the creatures at their own levels were their best targets. Each level could be divided into the beginning stage, medium stage, and peak stage. The ones at the peak stage of that level liked to hunt the ones at the beginning stage of that level the most.

That was an easy way for those creatures to attain the nuclei which could provide them with a sufficient amount of energy.

The energy contained in Lin Qiao’s zombie emperor nucleus strongly attracted the level-eight underground creature. However, that creature wasn’t expecting her to turn invisible and hide her vibe. Soon, it lost its target.

“Roar…” That mysterious creature didn’t give up just like that though. It looked around but didn’t find Lin Qiao’s vibe, so it gave an angry roar and charged at where she was.

Boom! Boom! Booms! The rumbling noise came closer from a distance away, and the earth started shaking.
