189: It's just a dying struggle!
Song Ming immediately pushed open the door and walked in.
He instantly arrived in a rather peculiar space.
Before his eyes was a vibrant green grassland, completely different from the dark and oppressive environment outside.
Breathing the fresh air within this space, Song Ming showed a rare expression of surprise.
He had assumed that the habitat of the Demon Tree Monster would be even more bizarre, but he never expected such a beautiful environment.
Moreover, if he hadn't eliminated all the Golem Monsters, he wouldn't have been able to enter here at all.
This indicated that this space was very special, and if one were to try and bypass that group of Golem Monsters, it would likely be very difficult to find the entrance.
Song Ming then felt a bit puzzled.
Eliminating all the Golem Monsters was clearly very difficult.
It was not something an ordinary team could accomplish.
However, the hell-level difficulty dungeon had been cleared before.
They must have had another way to avoid eliminating all the Golem Monsters on the island.
And thus directly enter the hidden space where the BOSS resided.
However, even if there was a shortcut, it held no appeal for Song Ming.
After all, no matter how many Golem Monsters there were on the island, for him, it was just a matter of one skill.
It was nothing at all.
Furthermore, he needed more experience, so he naturally wouldn't let this group of monsters go.
Song Ming walked across the grassland, and the passage behind him disappeared without a trace.
It seemed that if he couldn't kill the final BOSS, he wouldn't be able to leave this space at all.
The area of this grassland was indeed very vast.
However, no living creatures could be seen.
Only the hundred-meter-tall giant tree in the center was very conspicuous.
Around this giant tree, dozens of other large trees also grew, though their size was considerably smaller than the giant tree.
They encircled the giant tree in the center, much like loyal guards.
Without needing to guess, these were likely the Demon Trees.
Song Ming activated his Eye of Insight, and the information about these Demon Trees immediately appeared in his eyes.
[Demon Tree Guardian (Enhanced Elite Monster)]
[Health: 15,500,000]
[Rank: 115]
[Strength: 13,500]

Just as Song Ming approached the Demon Trees, these large trees seemed to come alive.
One after another, dark holes immediately appeared on their trunks.
And eventually formed a ferocious ghostly face.
Their thick roots, originally embedded in the ground, now all pulled out of the earth, and supporting their massive trunks, they slowly began to move towards Song Ming's position.
They waved their branches, baring their fangs and claws, looking extremely eerie.
Completely destroying the quiet and elegant environment of this place.
Song Ming watched as this group of Demon Trees rushed towards him, his expression unchanged.
He also didn't plan to show off with other techniques.
He just wanted to clear this dungeon as quickly as possible and then obtain the item for the hidden stage.
So, without a word, Song Ming unleashed another Heaven and Earth Seal.
The familiar golden Great Seal reappeared in the sky above.
And slammed down towards the Demon Tree Guardians below.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
The Demon Tree Guardians seemed not to fear the golden Great Seal above in the slightest.
One by one, branches as thick as water buckets swung upwards, attempting to shatter the golden Great Seal.
However, this was all in vain.
Their branches were shattered into nothingness the moment they touched the golden Great Seal.
As the golden Great Seal continued to descend.
The enormous Demon Tree in the very center finally reacted.
Around its body, deep purple meridians began to appear, winding and intertwining around its trunk.
Those meridians seemed to have a life of their own, constantly moving across the giant tree's body.
Finally forming a huge, still twisting and throbbing ghostly face.
The giant Demon Tree gave Song Ming an eerie smile.
Then, the massive, intertwined root system underground tore out of the earth, shooting out in all directions with a whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
However, its main target was not Song Ming.
But rather the Demon Tree Guardians scattered around.
The thick purple roots were as fast as lightning, directly piercing into the bodies of each Demon Tree Guardian.
Gurgle, gurgle.
The purple roots seemed to be extracting something.
The massive trunks of the Demon Tree Guardians rapidly shriveled and wrinkled, their originally vibrant green leaves turned yellow and withered, falling off one by one.
The giant Demon Tree continuously extracted the life Origin Qi from the surrounding Demon Tree Guardians.
The aura it emitted also became increasingly dense.
Immediately after, all the roots suddenly flicked upwards.
All the Demon Tree Guardians were tossed away like trash, crashing towards Song Ming's position.
It looked like it wanted to deal with Song Ming first.
However, Song Ming naturally wouldn't let this Demon Tree succeed.
One after another, incredibly brilliant purple flames appeared around him, shooting towards the incoming Demon Tree Guardians.
Bang, bang, bang.
The Demon Tree Guardians collided with the Purple Celestial Flame.
Immediately, a series of explosive sounds erupted.
One by one, brilliant fireworks appeared in mid-air, creating a strangely beautiful sight.
The aftershocks of the explosion were completely blocked by the Guardian Divine Light on Song Ming's body.
The giant Demon Tree's attack couldn't even make him move half a step.
"Just a dying struggle!" Song Ming smiled faintly.
The giant Demon Tree saw its attack easily blocked.
Its ghostly face immediately trembled.
But feeling the deadly threat from above, it didn't have time to think much.
The purple patterns on its body shone brightly, then all gathered towards the crown.
Immediately after, a purple light pillar, dozens of meters thick, shot out from the top of the giant Demon Tree's crown, blasting towards the golden Great Seal above.
Hiss, hiss, hiss.
The golden light and purple light continuously collided and dissipated.
In the blink of an eye.
The aura of the golden Great Seal actually decreased by about twenty percent.
However, that was all it amounted to.
The Heaven and Earth Seal immediately shone brightly, pushing away the purple light pillar inch by inch.
Finally, it landed on the head of the giant Demon Tree.
At this point, this BOSS completely panicked, and countless roots plunged into the ground, attempting to escape underground.
But how could the Heaven and Earth Seal give it such an opportunity?
It slammed down with a roar.
The giant Demon Tree's massive body instantly turned into flying wood chips, completely crushed.
At the same time.
Song Ming finally saw the message indicating the dungeon clear.
