Just when the two giant steel spiders that were left behind were destroyed, they had already arrived at the edge of the Land of Firewood Exhaustion. In front of them was the huge basin of the Fallen Land. They could vaguely see the giant rock arms that were like giant towers stubbornly reaching towards the sky.

And in the window of the giant steel spider, at a glance, there was no basin in front of it, but a sea of ​​red mist that was constantly surging and stirring! The alarm inside the giant steel spider was even flashing wildly, and a series of instruments began to sound the alarm at the same time:

"Warning, warning, level one serious danger warning, the air contains deadly substances, don't go out!"

"The air purification system has begun level III purification. It is expected that energy consumption will reach its peak within fifteen seconds. Please pay attention to energy allocation! Under this overload condition, the service life of the air purification system will be shortened by three fifths."

"It is recommended that the fortress immediately retreat more than two kilometers to the rear. According to analysis, this position will not affect the observation of the front, but the concentration of deadly substances in the air will be reduced by 300%, and the pressure of the air purification system will be reduced by 76%."

"The biochemical immunity laboratory has requested resources to intervene. We have analyzed the composition of the deadly substance in the air. It is a very aggressive and lethal insect egg. They contain pure chaotic energy in their bodies, so they are named Chaos Worms. They are simply perfect biological weapons that will greedily devour anything with energy."

"However, according to the current analysis, it seems that there are unknown elements in the Fallen Land in front of us that are necessary for their growth. Once you leave the outer 100 meters of the basin, the number of Chaos Worms will be pitifully small, and they will completely lose their activity. It can be inferred that the deeper you go into the Fallen Basin in front of you, the greater the density of Chaos Worms inside, and it is not ruled out that you will encounter mutated species."

“…”

Listening to these hectic reports, Mixia seemed to turn a deaf ear to them. She looked at the huge basin in front of her through the transparent porthole, with a hint of fanaticism in her eyes:

“Is this the place where the High Priest Jig died? Legend has it that several peerless masters from the entire empire were buried here with him. Even if we can’t obtain the High Priest Jig’s inheritance, it would be worth the trip if we can obtain the relics of those masters.”

At this time, Xiong Rishou's voice suddenly rang out in the intercom, even with a rare hint of excitement:

"Sir, there is a new breakthrough. The Black Priest has indeed been here and found a way to get in! The mutated giant wailing grass plant we cloned suddenly reacted when it came here, so I took the initiative to release it, and as a result, there was a turn for the better!"

Mixia said calmly:

"Turn the camera around."

A high-definition display screen immediately appeared in front of Mixia, and then she saw a giant mutant Wailing Grass that had been released. It had pulled out its roots and was walking back and forth on the ground. It looked very excited. Its leaves were densely covered with small red dots, which were the Chaos Worm larvae and eggs that had been attracted here!

The biggest function of this giant mutant wailing grass was to attract void creatures and then build a dark portal to enter this sealed land. Its lifespan was modulated to be only seven or eight days at most. It never expected that it would show abnormal movements after coming here, and it was tossing around like crazy in the debugging warehouse. The Evil Sun Code released it, and it unexpectedly produced an effect.

Soon, it was seen that the chaos worm larvae on the leaves of the giant mutant wailing grass turned into mucus and were then absorbed by the giant mutant wailing grass. The giant mutant wailing grass, which had been withered and dying, immediately became full of vitality, and even had a tendency to continue to grow in size!

The "red fog" nearby was cleared away, and according to detection, there were no chaos worms in the air, making it harmless.

Seeing this situation, Mixia simply ordered the release of the remaining giant mutant wailing grasses. At that time, a total of eight giant mutant wailing grasses were cloned. However, more than half of these clones had died. At this time, only three were left, all of which were listless and dying.

However, after being released at this time, it began to quickly emit a strong breath and attracted chaos insects to swarm in. It can be clearly seen that when the chaos insects were dissolved and absorbed by the mucus on the leaves, these giant mutant wailing grasses were extremely excited and showed great vitality, and directly ushered in a second spring.

Witnessing this scene, Mixia said calmly:

"It seems that the Black Priest's footprints back then did indeed reach the deepest part of the sealed land. The mutated Sorrow Grass he carried with him must have evolved specifically to deal with the ubiquitous Chaos Insect Mist!"

After hearing what Misha said, everyone around nodded in agreement. At this time, the situation in the distance changed again. As the surrounding chaotic insect swarms were wiped out, the three giant mutated wailing grasses began to expand rapidly towards the periphery, moving slowly, greedily craving for more nutrients.

However, the red mist in the distance had obviously become thinner, and could even be seen with the naked eye. With this area as the core, layers of red mist "surge" appeared. This showed that these Chaos Bugs were not completely ignorant, but had sensed the breath of the giant mutated Wailing Grass and realized that it was a natural enemy, so they simply fled.

After discovering this scene, Mixia nodded slightly and said:

"Contact the combat department and have them send out an advance team to follow the giant mutant wailing grass and prepare to enter the basin. Then quickly survey and map the terrain below. This must be done within three hours. At the same time, it's time for the engineering department to do the preliminary work. Our next major plan is to quickly build a permanent forward base at the edge of the basin. I hope to see the base start construction in eight hours."

"Finally, give the order to the Biochemical Department to immediately collect cells from these giant mutant Sorrow Grass plants and prepare to begin cloning. This time, the cultivation will focus on quantity. As long as they can play the role of luring and killing Chaos Bugs, the size and lifespan are not important!"

Misha's orders were once again implemented one by one, and the entire expeditionary force began to move quickly as if they were a whole. Ten minutes later, a series of explosions sounded, and then a large number of rocks fell with a roar, like a landslide. This was the advance team blowing up the rocks around the basin. The purpose was naturally to open up a passage for the three giant mutant wailing grasses to facilitate their entry into the basin.

After just four hours, the sound of engines roared from below the basin, and the permanent forward base began to be built. At the same time, the six "Alpha" energy storage particle acceleration engines under the abdomens of the two giant steel spiders had started, spraying out dark blue flames, generating a strong thrust to make them float, and then slowly descended towards the bottom. Of course, the surrounding red mist had been completely cleared at this time.

Eight hours later, a large group of modified humans wearing chemical protective suits had begun digging holes near the forward base. They were holding something similar to a "Luoyang shovel" in their hands. They could dig a fist-sized hole by sticking it into the ground. Then someone would sprinkle rice-sized seeds, pour some nutrient solution on it, and cover it with soil again.

Just fifteen minutes later, the seed broke out of the soil under the action of the nutrient solution. It looked similar to ordinary wailing grass and was only about knee-high. It only took an hour for this mutated wailing grass to pull its roots out of the ground and then twist and turn its way towards the depths of the firewood-exhausted land.

This mutated Wailing Grass probably only walked two or three hundred meters before its branches and leaves visibly wilted, apparently reaching the limit of its range of activity. It then took root again, and a foul smell emanated from its leaves. Not long after, several Chaos Worms flew out from the cracks in the rocks and landed on its leaves, where they were of course digested and turned into nutrients.

When it obtained external food supply, it began to mutate, but it did not allow it to continue to grow. Instead, its root system underwent amazing changes. The original form of this mutated wailing herb was close to the plants on the continent of Arad, but now after absorbing the chaos worms, the roots underneath appeared more like tentacles, greatly improving its mobility.
