The land was ravaged, and there were various mutated animals and humans who had been bitten and seriously injured by monsters, and were about to mutate into monster-like forms. The situation needed to be dealt with quickly.
No one could laugh at the scene of devastation and the sounds of pain and wailing.
Gu Mingyue could only distribute the crystal cores she had saved up to the wounded, hoping that the wounded would absorb the crystal cores and evolve to a higher level, so that they would have more energy to fight against the monster virus.
The Bright Moon Base covers a large area, and most of the members chased the monsters out from the south gate.
Gu Mingyue consumed two level-five crystal cores to replenish her strength, and then had Xinghe teleport her to check on the situation at the North Gate.
There was still a small group of humanoid monsters there who hadn't received the order to retreat.
Seeing Gu Mingyue pick up the meteorite knife and still want to bravely fight against those monsters, Xinghe couldn't bear to say anything harsh, so he angrily used a spatial barrier to block her, slowing down Gu Mingyue's actions for a moment.
Take the opportunity to use the new ability to fly into the monsters.
Several solidified spatial hands lifted up the survivors mixed in with the monsters.
Xinghe's gaze was cold, his clothes fluttering as he stood atop the level-five giant monster, reaping its head while it was still in a daze.
Su Xiaoyu and the others, who were hiding under the Level 5 mutated gem tree, were so moved by the sight of their boss wreaking havoc in mid-air that they almost cried. Finally, they no longer had to hide in the space shield and watch their companions being devoured by monsters.
Gu Mingyue saw Xinghe's sullen spatial barrier hovering in front of her, and she slightly tugged at the corner of her mouth, revealing a smile.
She knew that Xinghe was afraid she would get hurt, so he used the spatial barrier to delay her and rush into the monster horde ahead of time.
Seeing Xinghe easily slaying monsters one by one with her even more powerful spatial blades, she knew that she didn't need to take action, so she didn't waste her energy any more.
Using her golden crescent-shaped throwing knife to block some attacks from level four spiked monsters, she slowly walked into the space shield of the level five mutated gem tree.
The members of the Bright Moon Base guarding the North Gate are now all huddled together, standing heel to toe. When they see Gu Mingyue walking over, they squeeze together to make room for her, creating a space about half a meter wide.
Gu Mingyue walked in, frowned when she saw the injured members, and distributed the newly acquired crystal cores to help them recover to their peak condition as soon as possible.
Then, after glancing at the sapling that had shrunk to less than two meters tall, he gave a slight smirk and walked over.
The uninjured ability users, including Su Xiaoyu, saw Gu Mingyue burst in with a face as white as paper. They knew that she must have gone through a fierce battle to reach the North Gate, and they wisely rushed out to fight the humanoid monsters outside with Xinghe.
The space inside the Gem Tree's protective enclosure became more spacious, allowing Gu Mingyue to easily pass through the group of injured people and arrive at the Gem Tree's side, communicating with it using her mental power.
Gu Mingyue communicated directly: Go out and kill all those humanoid monsters!
Level 5 Gem Tree: No! Tree Tree is scared! Those giant humanoid monsters have an insatiable appetite and no restraint. They will eat all of Tree Tree's vines and leaves, and eventually even uproot Tree Tree.
Gu Mingyue: ...
The gem tree trembled all over, like a spoiled child.
Gu Mingyue remained silent for a moment, as if she disliked the timid and human-like appearance of the Level 5 Gem Tree!
She still wasn't used to it; a tree actually had self-awareness! She had never encountered anything like it in her previous life.
She pulled out ten crystal cores from a level-five giant monster from her pocket and continued to bribe them.
Upon seeing the level-five gem tree with the level-five crystal core that Gu Mingyue had taken out, the vines on the tree trunk wrapped around Gu Mingyue's palm, tentatively approaching, but then retreating in fear.
These crystal nuclei may not be able to upgrade it to level six, but they have enough energy.
While it was protecting the members of the Bright Moon Base with its spatial shield, those giant monsters kept destroying its protective shield. In order to repair the spatial shield, the crystal cores stored in its tree hole had long been used up, and now it was in a time of energy shortage.
But once it eats these crystal cores, its owner certainly won't let it stay here like a coward any longer!
The level 5 gem tree is caught in a dilemma.
Gu Mingyue looked at it coldly: Eat these crystal cores and capture a few level 5 giant monsters for me. I want to keep them to guard the base.
The gem tree trembled all over; it might not even be able to defeat it in a fight, let alone be captured alive. The entire tree was extremely resistant and had no desire to absorb the crystal core energy.
Despite being at the same level five, Gu Mingyue was pale-faced, but she still managed to spare a sliver of her spiritual power. This mutated tree was about to advance to level six, and it had actually developed some rebellious thoughts, no longer obeying her, its master's, orders. She had to teach it a lesson, otherwise it would be even more difficult to control once it advanced to level six in a few days.
Gu Mingyue's spiritual threads burrowed into the center of the gem tree's trunk, locked onto a sapling-shaped spiritual entity emitting green light, and then suddenly tightened along with the hair strands that had previously been inside it.
The Gem Tree's consciousness was constricted by spiritual threads and hair strands. Although it wouldn't be unable to breathe like other carbon-based animals, the feeling of its consciousness being about to be swallowed up and merged still made it tremble uncontrollably, as if its roots had been planted into an Arctic glacier.
It had no choice but to compromise, extending its dark green vines and opening the suction cups at the tips of the vines to gently suck all the level-five crystal cores from Gu Mingyue's palm into the vines.
Seeing that it obeyed, Gu Mingyue released the invading mental threads.
After absorbing those level-five crystal cores, the gem tree underwent some changes. As expected of the fastest-upgrading biological group in Blue Path, even though those level-five crystal cores were not at the end stage and had little impact on its upgrade process, it still managed to advance to the early stage of level six in one fell swoop.
Its trunk became more robust, like real metal, and the translucent gemstone leaves on the trunk turned a deep, top-grade emerald green.
