Chapter 332 Black Iron Tree
Lieutenant General Lin was unwilling to let Ning Xuan take the risk alone because he knew the danger of this area. After all, they accompanied Ning Xuan here and had the obligation to protect his personal safety.
"Don't worry, I'm still strong enough. I can use my lightning power if I go forward a few dozen meters to purify this edge area first. It won't be dangerous. After I purify this area, you can go forward and we will advance little by little." Ning Xuan knew that the sweet fishy fragrance that could penetrate the protective clothing was the mental pollution toxin. As a woman, her resistance to mental pollution was much higher than theirs, so she stopped General Lin and others.
"Major General Ning, we can keep a distance, but in order to ensure your safety, we must make sure we can see you in case anything unexpected happens." Lieutenant General Lin insisted.
"Okay." Ning Xuan nodded. She had been observing the surrounding environment and had found the best position to perform the spell.
Ning Xuan walked forward about 50 meters and came to a big tree. The tree was dozens of meters high and about one meter in diameter. At this time, it was bare, without branches or leaves. From a distance, it looked like a telephone pole.
When Ning Xuan first saw this tree, she thought it was a man-made product, but she didn't expect that this tree was a common tree on this planet, called the black iron tree.
The reason why this tree is called this name is because of its hard wood and high density. Even a small piece of the tree is very heavy. The growth cycle of this tree is very long. It can only grow to more than two meters in height in ten years. This tree that is tens of meters tall is at least a hundred years old.
In this galaxy, most of the materials used to build houses are various synthetic metals. The natural materials used to build large machines such as spaceships, flying cars, and starships are mostly required to be light, tough, ductile, and conductive. The material of the black iron tree is too heavy. Even if its conductivity is not bad, its usage rate in various large machines is not high.
Therefore, the role of the black iron tree has not been developed.
Ning Xuan stood under the black iron tree. The tree was also corroded by the poisonous fog, and black mucus hung on its rough bark.
Ning Xuan reached out to touch the black iron tree. Lin Ye had been watching Ning Xuan's actions from behind. When he saw her move, he felt his heart in his throat. If the protective clothing came into contact with the eroded trees, it would be corroded.
Lin Ye and Ning Xuan were too far apart, so he could only watch.
Just as Lin Ye accelerated and prepared to rush to Ning Xuan, thunder rumbled above the black iron tree. White flashing lightning instantly filled the entire space with the black iron tree as the center. In a flash, the whole world seemed to be torn apart, wind blew and thunder roared, and violent energy swept around like a raging wave, splitting the purple-black fog and making the whole space instantly clearer.
Lin Ye's pupils suddenly shrank and he braked suddenly. The soldier behind him failed to brake and bumped into him.
In the blinding white light, Lin Ye could vaguely see the black mucus on the skin of the black iron tree peeling off in the lightning, revealing the crystal-clear and moist branches inside. There were also some dark red veins on the branches, which seemed to light up in lines under the conduction of lightning. Those lines extended along the branches to the sky, interweaving with the falling thunder to form a huge electric net.
The lightning flashed and quickly spread to the surrounding space.
"Retreat quickly, retreat." Lin Ye felt the spread of lightning energy and immediately led his men to retreat.
He finally understood why Ning Zhi asked them to keep at least fifty meters apart. Ning Zhi's lightning ability was so powerful. Was he really only at SS level?
"This is so cool, General Lin, look, the poisonous miasma around here has become lighter." A soldier said excitedly.
"Yeah, I didn't see how General Ning made his move. However, the use of lightning powers on such a large scale must have caused great damage to him, right? I heard that General Ning had been fighting for more than ten days in a row." The person who said this was Lin Ye's confidant, who had also heard what Liu Linfeng had said before.
Lieutenant General Lin Ye was very excited when he saw the poisonous miasma that was obviously receding. Of course, he was also very worried about Ning Zhi's physical condition. In his opinion, Ning Zhi had the ability, and the threat of the continuously spreading poisonous miasma would no longer be an unsolvable problem for them. However, what Ning Zhi needed most at the moment was rest. The base could provide the highest level recovery potion, so that Ning Zhi could recover her body first. After she had rested enough, it would not be too late to clean up the poisonous miasma.
After about ten minutes, Lin Ye saw that the lightning energy was gradually dissipating. He brought his men to Ning Xuan. Ning Xuan was looking at the black iron tree intently. She found that the black iron tree, which she had just marked with runes and used as an energy amplifier, already had some characteristics of lightning-struck wood and could be used as lightning-struck wood.
"Major General Ning, what you did just now was amazing. With this location as the center, all the poisonous miasma within a radius of 50 meters has been cleared. Let's go back to the temporary base and report the situation here to the commander-in-chief. It's a good time for you to go back and rest and recover." Lin Ye said enthusiastically and excitedly.
In Lin Ye's opinion, Ning Zhi was able to display such power even after fighting continuously and being exhausted both physically and mentally. He would definitely be even more powerful once he had a good rest.
"No need, General Lin, you can send someone back to report the situation. I plan to continue clearing the poisonous miasma ahead. The poisonous miasma spreads very quickly. The sooner we clear it, the more time we save." Ning Xuan refused.
Although she did fight continuously for more than ten days, when she killed the Thunder Beast, she was able to absorb its energy for her own use, to help the second companion spirit become more solid and stable, which kept the reserves of lightning energy in her body full.
"No, no. The area that sonic weapons can cover is limited. Major General Ning, the further inside you go, the higher the danger. You should go back and rest more. It won't be too late to clean up the poisonous miasma after you've rested." Lin Ye immediately advised seriously.
He had witnessed Ning Zhi's strength and knew that Ning Zhi could play an irreplaceable role in eliminating the poisonous miasma, so they had to ensure Ning Zhi's safety no matter what the cost.
"I know my own situation clearly. General Lin, if you are worried, you can continue to keep a distance of 50 meters from me and follow me, but don't get within 50 meters." Ning Xuan said confidently.
Ning Xuan didn't say anything else and just walked forward. She had already found the next spellcasting tool.
