In the center of Shaoguan City, Huang Zhao's powerful spiritual perception spread downwards.

The massive trunk of the seventh-level mutated banyan tree still stands in the center, lifeless.

Various mutated plant branches and vines climb on it, seemingly drawing nutrients from the tree.

The mental perception penetrated nearly a hundred meters into the ground, only to encounter another area that could not be explored.

"There really is a blood-red crystal. How exactly was it formed?"

Aside from the special area where the blood-red crystals were generated, Huang Zhao's mental perception had never been blocked.

This is also why Huang Zhao chose to place the crystal in the shelter.

It can block mental perception, but it still cannot escape the almost ubiquitous cameras in the laboratory.

Since they had met again, Huang Zhao naturally wouldn't let it go.

His intuition told him that this blood-red crystal could bring him some surprises.

"Daqiang, get down!"

It is nearly 100 meters underground, much deeper than the one that was previously in the valley.

Daqiang landed on the ground, and the huge commotion attracted the surrounding mutated plants to attack.

Swish! Swish swish!!

A sharp, cold glint flashed, and the vines reaching out from the various mutated plants were severed by Daqiang's forelimbs.

Huang Zhao ignored the attacks from these mutated plants, which were not even at the fourth level. He crouched on the ground, supporting himself with one hand, and spread his spatial ability towards the ground.

Above the blood-red crystal shielding area, an area with a radius of approximately three meters centered on him was included in the scope.

There's no need to transplant Blood Crystal Fruit trees here, and the area of ​​land to be moved doesn't need to be too large; a little space to move around is enough.

Beneath the ground, the roots of the seventh-level mutated banyan tree are intertwined and tangled, and even probing a hundred meters down does not reach the bottom.

"Luckily, it didn't hide the energy crystal so deep underground back then, otherwise it would have been troublesome to find it."

The mutated banyan tree, after the mutation, had almost no way of hiding its energy crystals, which is why they could be taken out relatively easily.

"receive!"

The sensation of his spatial ability being absorbed returned to Huang Zhao, who stopped outputting his ability and put the encased soil into his ability space.

Half of the superpower within my body drained away instantly; this method of absorption was indeed too ruthless in consuming superpowers.

Huang Zhao's figure fell into the deep pit and instantly teleported to the bottom of the pit.

Although unable to use mental perception, the body, enhanced by superpowers, can still see freely even in a 100-meter-deep pit.

Not far in front of him, a teardrop-shaped blood-red crystal was enveloped by the roots of a mutated banyan tree, which was his target for this trip.

"It's much larger than the one in the valley, so that's why it's so deep underground?"

The reason for the formation of the blood-red crystal is still inconclusive, but the energy contained in the crystal in front of them far exceeds that of the previous one.

Just by standing to the side, a dense amount of alien energy almost bursts forth.

A spatial blade materialized, easily severing the tree roots and grasping the crystal in its hand.

"More than 30 million points of alien energy, one of them is equivalent to three, what a great harvest!"

Huang Zhao stored the blood-red crystal in his special ability space and then teleported back to the ground.

"All done, let's go see our old friends."

Daqiang flapped its wings and flew further east.

Next stop: Eastern Theater Command base!

Not long after Huang Zhao left, a group of human survivors arrived in the center of Shao City.

The one leading the group, with her long, fiery red hair flowing in the wind, was none other than Song Kexin, who had already broken through to level four.

"We arrived too late; he had already left."

There was a hint of disappointment in Song Kexin's voice.

"Big sister, you mean that man is back again?"

Song Kexin nodded slightly, without saying anything more.

His gaze swept over the numerous mutated plants that had become active around him.
