Mi Ling didn't know what this thing was, but since it could deal with so many Level 7s with ease, it was probably a King-level, right?

Could a Level 10 do that?

Mi Ling was only Level 10 herself, not yet promoted to King-level, so she immediately sought out Hai Ji.

The degree of damage to Ning Shuang's crystal was much greater than to Mi Li and Chen Luo's. The crystal hadn't even recovered yet.

At the same time, Mi Ling also found Mifan.

Having been around ink, one becomes black. Mi Ling had also learned to ask Mifan before doing anything important.

Even if Mi Ling didn't seek him out, Mifan would have sought her out.

Mifan said uneasily, "You can't go out. You'll die if you go out."

Mi Ling was stunned. Was it that terrifying?

Hai Ji said coldly, "I'll go."

Mifan said, "You're not suitable to go."

Not suitable?

Mi Ling felt a chill down her spine. Was something going to happen even if Hai Ji went?

Hai Ji's strength seemed a bit stronger than a Dharma King who hadn't reached King-level, right?

She was the second strongest in the base.

Were there some things that Mifan couldn't say directly?

After all, Hai Ji and Mifan weren't so close that Mifan could make predictions without a cost.

Mifan said, "Chen Luo has to go. Only he can do it."

Mi Ling nodded. There were still many members alive, so Chen Luo would definitely have to be alerted.

In the cave.

Chen Luo was surrounded by an almost transparent halo.

A speck of dust fell from above Chen Luo but stopped on the surface of the halo, unable to enter.

Chen Luo stared wide-eyed, watching. Was it time stop? It didn't seem like it.

This halo wasn't a shield or anything Chen Luo had created. It was Chen Luo enveloping himself with his time ability.

It consumed a lot of energy.

Chen Luo scratched his head, feeling that the flow of time around him had stopped. No matter what it was, it couldn't enter his vicinity.

It seemed that in this state, even the most powerful attack couldn't harm him.

Jiang Chuxue's time stop was to freeze the target, but others could still attack the target.

What Chen Luo was currently using was the opposite. Others could move, but he couldn't, but they couldn't harm him.

Chen Luo murmured, "Another survival ability? Did I learn this after half a month of seclusion?"

Chen Luo was speechless. I really didn't want to learn this kind of ability. Couldn't I get an offensive one?

I'm also very desperate, but what can I do?

Chen Luo continued to study it. Not long after, Mi Ling's voice came from the cave.

"Chen Luo, something happened."

All that excitement for nothing?

Chen Luo stood up and asked, "What's wrong?"

Mi Ling explained the situation, "It's best to hurry, or I don't know if those members will survive today."

A bizarre, devouring giant tree?

Mi Ling said uneasily, "It seems even Hai Ji can't deal with it. Mifan said only you can do it."

Even Hai Ji couldn't do it?

Chen Luo was shocked. Was it Emperor-level?

That wasn't necessarily the case. Hai Ji was only in the middle stage of King-level. Perhaps the opponent was in the advanced stage.

Since Mifan was letting Chen Luo go, then there was no danger.

Chen Luo immediately took action.

Two thousand miles away, Chen Luo arrived in an instant.

Although he wasn't precisely near the giant tree, the giant tree was too conspicuous. Chen Luo easily found it.

To be honest, it was the first time Chen Luo had seen such a huge tree.

Many members were hanging on the tree like fruits.

The giant tree also discovered Chen Luo. A strange smell wafted over, making Chen Luo's head a little dizzy, but he quickly recovered.

Three conspicuous, bright, and glittering fruits caught Chen Luo's eye.

What were these?

Gimme them.

Chen Luo used spatial severance to cut off the branches of the fruits, then spatial banishment to get them into his hands.

A fresh fruity fragrance assailed his nostrils, very enticing.

Chen Luo felt an urge to eat them, but he forcefully resisted.

Chen Luo didn't dare to casually eat things with unknown effects.

The fruits were mysteriously stolen, and the giant tree's branches began to tremble wildly, but they weren't long enough to reach Chen Luo.

That's it?

Wasn't it just taking a beating?

Chen Luo underestimated the giant tree. The sky suddenly darkened, and countless lightning bolts brewed in the clouds, like lightning snakes.

The giant tree's first attack was a black beam of light nearly a meter thick from the top of the tree.

Chen Luo was shocked and dodged using spatial walk.

Then countless lightning bolts fell, ten thousand rays of lightning. The lightning was too dense, and it seemed even spatial walk couldn't avoid it.

Chen Luo chuckled. A full-screen attack, huh?

Chen Luo used spatial walk ten miles backward, leaving the range of the lightning.

Chen Luo's expression was grave. The giant tree actually had dual abilities: darkness and lightning.

Judging from the abilities revealed so far, it was far from reaching Emperor-level.

It seemed to have just reached King-level, about the same strength as Chen Luo.

The giant tree seemed to be consuming a lot of energy and began to devour Chen Luo's members.

Chen Luo's face turned cold. He approached again, the dimensional blade already gathering.

At the same time, he began to cut off the branches binding the members one by one and move the freed members to a safe area.

In just five seconds, the dimensional blade had been fully charged and was silently swung towards the giant tree.

The dimensional blade moved from top to bottom. Chen Luo planned to split the giant tree in half.

The giant tree was completely unaware of Chen Luo's dimensional blade. Perhaps even if it was aware, it wouldn't have any good countermeasures.

The dimensional blade landed on the giant tree without accident.

The huge canopy was instantly split in two. The dimensional blade didn't stop and continued to cut through the giant tree.

The giant tree seemed to be having an epileptic fit, shaking and trembling wildly.

The giant tree's vitality surprised Chen Luo. At a height of nearly two hundred meters, the dimensional blade only cut through half of it before losing its power.

The giant tree looked miserable.

But it was still alive. A single dimensional blade couldn't completely kill it.

If one wasn't enough, then he'd use another one.

Chen Luo took out Ning Shuang's pearl, preparing to restore his ability.

Even without Ning Shuang's pearl, Chen Luo could deal with this immobile behemoth by avoiding it for a while, waiting for his ability to recover, and then coming back to chop it.

Just then, a message appeared in Chen Luo's mind.

"You're here for these humans. I'll release them. How about we call it quits?"

Was it suing for peace?

Chen Luo thought for a moment and said, "Okay."

The giant tree released Chen Luo's members as promised.

The rescued members looked at the giant tree with hatred and fear.

But the leader had arrived. As expected, there was nothing the leader couldn't do.

But the team of two hundred was now only a little over a hundred. The giant tree had killed nearly a hundred of Chen Luo's people.

Dawn City had never suffered such a loss.

This giant tree was simple-minded. Did it really think Chen Luo would keep his promise?

Chen Luo took a deep look at the giant tree and really didn't continue to attack.

Back in the courtyard, Chen Luo took out the giant tree's fruit and immediately asked, "Mifan, what will happen if I eat this fruit?"

Mifan thought for a moment and said, "There will be great benefits."

With Mifan's reply, Chen Luo immediately took a bite. He couldn't resist any longer.

It was incredibly sweet.

Who would have thought that a tree that devoured people could produce such a fruit?

Chen Luo's face froze because he felt the energy in the crystal in his mind increase a little.

Was it the same effect as absorbing a crystal?

Chen Luo had originally thought that the giant tree couldn't run away, and he would come back to deal with it later.

But he didn't expect its fruit to have such a huge effect.

Then he wouldn't kill the giant tree for now. He'd wait until he had made use of it before finishing it off.

Although it had killed Chen Luo's members, one had to weigh things up.

Chen Luo understood why Mifan said Hai Ji wasn't suitable to go. It wasn't that Hai Ji was no match.

It was that would Hai Ji's personality would consider these things? She'd just kill it first.
