Chapter 1034 Osmanthus Tree

More and more black roots were dug out, already exceeding two meters, and there was still no end in sight.

This made Shen Yuchi both excited and nervous. He originally thought that they might have dug up a broken root, but now it seemed that they had really dug up the osmanthus tree.

However, there was one thing that concerned Shen Yuchi. When the mythical companion pet was digging, it would occasionally come into contact with the roots, but those roots were not absorbed like the petals, and no strange phenomena occurred.

"Could it be that only the petals have such magical effects?" Shen Yuchi was a little worried. If it was really only the petals that had the effect, then how many petals were there on this osmanthus tree buried underground?

But everything is still unknown now. There is no way to confirm whether the osmanthus tree itself is useless, nor do we know how many petals are left. We can only continue to wait for the results.

The professor wanted the astronauts to cut off a part of the roots and conduct a simple test in the space station, but it turned out that even the mythical companion pet could not damage the roots at all.

Even with the use of high-tech cutting equipment, it was still useless. The hardness of the roots far exceeded the hardness of any known material.

This result shocked everyone, including Shen Yuchi. After all, it was a mythical companion pet, and even it couldn't hurt it at all. What kind of existence was that tree? It was really shocking.

There was no other way now but to continue digging. More and more roots were dug out, crisscrossing in a very complicated way. It looked like they had really dug up the osmanthus tree.

During the excavation, a lot of petals were dug up. Except for a small amount used for experiments and research, most of them were sealed up.

As he collected more and more petals, Shen Yuchi wished he could fly to the moon, turn himself into a miner, and dig out all the petals.

It is immeasurable what kind of wealth these petals can bring to the Supervisory Bureau. Even if those petals cannot be used to promote epic creatures to myths, the ability to promote legendary creatures to epic is enough to create unimaginable wealth.

After research, it was found that for the same companion pet, the more petals used, the worse the effect will be. Different companion pets will gain different strengths in the evolution obtained by using the same petal.

When an epic companion pet uses a petal, its attributes will be enhanced to a certain extent, which can be seen from the test.

The mythical companion pet kept digging, and after a while, it finally dug up the trunk of the osmanthus tree. The trunk was also as black as ink, and judging from the dug-out part alone, the diameter was probably more than ten meters.

"A giant tree with a diameter of more than ten meters, how many osmanthus flowers will bloom when it is in full bloom?" Everyone was surprised and delighted when they saw the size of the tree.

Even if only one thousandth of the flowers produced by this osmanthus tree were preserved, that would be an unimaginable number.

He couldn't wait to order his mythical companion pet to continue digging upwards, but the companion pet didn't dig for long before he found that the tree trunk had reached the end.

“It’s gone… How could it be gone…” Shen Yuchi’s face looked a little ugly.

From the communication video, we can see that the huge osmanthus tree is actually only a stump left, and the upper part seems to have disappeared.

The companion pet dug nearby again, but only found some scattered petals, and no broken trunk at all.

On the tree stump, there are some obvious marks of being hacked by knives and axes, proving that this mysterious and huge osmanthus tree was not broken by a natural disaster, but was cut down by some creature.

"Even the power of the mythical companion pet can't hurt the tiny roots at all. What kind of creature can actually cut through such a thick tree trunk?" Shen Yuchi was shocked just thinking about it.

Fortunately, no trace of dimensional creatures was found nearby, and even though the main trunk was missing, there were still some scattered petals nearby. For the Supervisory Bureau, being able to collect these scattered petals is already a huge fortune.

Moreover, that tree stump may also be of great value. Otherwise, the mysterious creature that cut down the osmanthus tree would not have to take away the trunk. It would have been enough to just remove the petals. Why bother cutting down the tree?

The excavation is still going on, and at least a dozen petals can be dug out every day, sometimes even dozens of them.

This made the Supervisory Bureau and a group of researchers very excited, because these petals do not just represent epic companion pets.

There are some legendary companion pets with very useful skills or fate, but they cannot be reused because their levels are too low and their attributes are too poor.

Now with these osmanthus flowers, we can upgrade those legendary companion pets to epic levels, improve their attributes, and even give birth to powerful souls.

Having osmanthus means having infinite possibilities.

Everyone thought that this lunar expedition would yield huge rewards, but on this day, the mythical companion pet continued to dig the stump, trying to dig out all parts of the stump and then find a way to transport it back to Earth.

The communication between the Earth Command and the Lunar Space Station was suddenly interrupted. No one knew what had happened. The researchers tried every possible way to get in touch with the Moon, but there was no news from there. They had no idea what was happening there.

"Professor, can we find a way to use existing satellites to take pictures of the space station and the tree stump?" Shen Yuchi asked the old professor beside him.

The old professor said solemnly, "The location of the space station is easy to scan with a satellite, but the location of the tree stump is beyond the reach of satellite orbit."

"Use satellites to scan the space station first." Shen Yuchi said.

"We're already trying, but we need to wait until our satellite reaches the predetermined orbit. Otherwise, we can only rely on other people's satellites... I'm afraid it will leave traces..." said the old professor.

"How long will it take for our satellite to capture the space station?" Shen Yuchi asked with a frown.

"The exact time should be around three hours and forty minutes," the old professor replied.

"Wait." Shen Yuchi pondered for a moment and finally uttered a word. He didn't want to attract anyone's attention.

Time passed minute by minute, and everyone waited nervously. When the satellite reached the predetermined orbit, everyone immediately became busy.

Soon, photos of the area near the space station were transmitted back.

When everyone saw the photo, they were horrified. The entire space station base was sunk into a deep pit, and that deep pit looked like the footprints of some animal.

The space station looked like it had been crushed by some creature.

"There are terrifying dimensional creatures on the moon..." Everyone had a very ominous thought in their mind.
