20: Chapter 20 Planting the Planet Tree

"Ding! Emergency mission!!!"

Just as he entered the System, it issued an emergency mission with a dazzling red light, and the entire virtual screen flashed with a dangerous red hue!

"Mission Brief: An unknown entity of destruction has entered your planet, devouring matter and Soul."

"Mission Objective: Before destruction arrives, plant the Tai Chu Mother Tree and protect the Mother Tree as it evolves for 48 hours."

"Mission Reward: Subsystem construction module."

Zhao Feng's heart tightened; this entity of destruction posed a direct threat to his life!

Once the entire Taichu Star was invaded by this entity of destruction, all the construction and transformation he had done for so long would become completely futile, and because of his connection as the Planet Master, he would even be in mortal danger!

This was a mission that had to be completed!

So, what was this about planting the Tai Chu Mother Tree?

With a thought, the relevant explanation appeared on the System.

A complete planet, in addition to a complete cycle of matter, also has a profound and mysterious cycle of Soul particles. Life changes a planet, and only the existence of life allows a planet to generate perfect self-repair and evolution rules, which is the Dao.

Except for planets that possess life by nature, planting a planet tree is the only means to complete the cycle of Soul particles in an Acquired manner, and the Tai Chu Mother Tree is a type of planet tree.

So, how does one obtain a planet tree? As soon as he had this thought, he noticed his transformation points jumping rapidly!

In the blink of an eye, the dense number of transformation points dropped directly to zero, turning into a glowing green orb.

"My transformation points!"

Zhao Feng was heartbroken; he had just been thinking about using the transformation points to create some powerful creatures to face the threat. But! It hadn't even started yet, and they were already completely wiped out.

Well, it looked like he would have to think of another way.

The green orb that the transformation points had turned into was quite restless. Just as Zhao Feng was feeling heartbroken, it suddenly popped out in front of him. The orb was glowing green and looked quite beautiful.

But this was not the end!

Just as the orb appeared, a roar was heard from afar. The sound did not sound like it came from a living creature at all; it was filled with pure murderous intent.

This was an aura of darkness, destruction, and returning to nothingness.

On the broad back of the Wind Cloud Mother, Zhao Feng's field of vision was exceptionally wide.

In the distance, he could see a plume of dust soaring into the sky, rushing toward him at high speed. A murky black mist stirred the horizon, causing the entire sky to change color.

The dark, dense clouds were stirred by the aura, forming a massive swirling cloud formation. Lightning flashed within the clouds, crackling loudly. The cloud formation moved slowly along with the evil entity beneath it, as if gathering all its strength.

Zhao Feng's heart pounded violently, and an inexplicable panic made him exceptionally agitated; this was his body's direct reaction to danger.

Leave! Leave quickly!

The Wind Cloud Mother also sensed the danger from afar and had long been restless; if not for the influence of the Planet Master's power, it would have already fled.

Zhao Feng urged it urgently. The Wind Cloud Mother lifted its flat head, its two protruding, tentacle-like eyes swiveled around, and its massive wings flapped, tracing a graceful arc in the air as it fled at high speed!

The ground was not a safe passage; this was a dangerous wilderness, home to powerful and ferocious giant insects!

The charm of the Planet Master prevented Zhao Feng from being attacked by the planet's creatures, but that guy behind him was exceptionally unwelcome.

No matter what creature it was, upon sensing that aura, they would charge at it for absolutely no reason.

The Pandora Worm was the undisputed overlord of Taichu Star.

Its nearly 150-meter-long body was covered in layers of sharp armor plates. These plates not only granted it formidable defensive power but also enabled it to burrow quickly through the sand.

In addition to its armor, the Pandora Worm was about ten meters in diameter, and its thick mouthparts were filled with sharp, slender fangs.

Once these saw-like fangs closed and were driven by its muscles to churn, even a mass of steel would be ground into slag.

Beyond its physical abilities, influenced by the planet's spiritual energy, the Pandora Worm also possessed powerful spiritual energy.

Although this spiritual energy could not turn it into an existence like a Yao Beast, its contribution to the improvement of its strength was very obvious.

Vast spiritual energy was stored within its body, ceaselessly nourishing its muscle tissue through the evolutionary force field, causing the Pandora Worm to gradually become stronger with each passing day.

The apex predator of this region was precisely an adult Pandora Worm.

The giant insect, having eaten and drunk its fill, was sleeping beneath the sand.

The soil here was not very thick, so it didn't affect the worm's movement much, and because there were many types of creatures, it could be considered a paradise for the Pandora Worm.

But the atmosphere of this paradise was clearly destroyed; a trace of the aura of destruction broke through this tranquility. Infinite disgust flooded its simple brain, causing it to erupt with an overwhelming desire for slaughter.

Kill it! Kill the owner of this aura.

Bang! The loose sand exploded, creating a huge crater as if it had been violently bombed by a bunker-buster; sand sprayed everywhere, hitting the ground, and dust filled the air, shooting straight into the sky.

Amidst the murky yellow dust, a body like a long Dragon shot out like lightning, coiling around another equally huge body like an old vine winding around a tree.

As it writhed, sparks flew everywhere, emitting a harsh, screeching sound of scraping.

The Pandora Worm opened its mouthparts wide, revealing sharp, saw-like teeth, and bit fiercely at the monster, intending to achieve victory in one blow.

The black mist permeating the body receded, revealing a black and red frame.

This was a monster whose entire body was filled with disharmony.

It looked like an ox, with its whole body covered in pitch-black bone armor, and its head resembled a gourd lying on its side.

In the area that seemed to be its neck, there were two constantly trembling membranes, encased within a thick neck shield.

It had two legs, and its abdomen had some short, segmented limbs that helped it move quickly.

Between the bone armor, it seemed that dark red magma was constantly flowing, and wisps of black Qi were continuously escaping from this magma.

It appeared clumsy, but in reality, its movements were as fast as lightning.

The massive neck shield suddenly tilted, blocking the worm's fiercely incoming mouthparts. Then, its body suddenly softened, and it slipped out of the worm's coils.

Moo! The membrane between its neck shields suddenly vibrated rapidly, emitting a low sound.

The Pandora Worm's body trembled, seemingly having suffered some kind of powerful attack.

But it was worthy of the name of overlord. A flash of earth-yellow light shone on its body, and an extremely heavy pressure caused the monster's body to pause as well.

In the first round, both sides had their own strengths, with the Pandora Worm being slightly inferior.

Taking advantage of the battle between the Pandora Worm and the monster, Zhao Feng piloted the Wind Cloud Mother and fled rapidly; truly, he came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

The journey there took an entire night because the Wind Cloud Mother's speed was greatly reduced at night, but in reality, the distance to the Human Race tribe was only a little over two hundred li.

During the day, the Wind Cloud Mother's speed increased greatly, and they soon arrived at the tribe.

Having not seen the tribe for half a day, it was still the same; the Human Race were each busy with their tasks, and under the management of Zhi and Zhuang, things were quite orderly.

The Thunder Flying Flood Dragon sensed Zhao Feng's aura, flapped its huge wings, circled beside the Wind Cloud Mother, and let out a joyful hiss.

Zhao Feng couldn't wait to play with the Flying Flood Dragon; he didn't know how long that Pandora Worm could hold off the monster. Before the monster caught up, he had to plant the Tai Chu Mother Tree.

The village had no defensive capability against the monster, so he couldn't plant the tree in the village; he had to find a place that at least had natural barriers.

Thinking of the traces the monster had left behind, Zhao Feng had a thought and came up with a good place.

Arriving at the destination, Zhao Feng confirmed the planting on the System panel.

The green orb of light floating around him dove toward the ground and instantly disappeared.

And just as Zhao Feng planted the Tai Chu Mother Tree, that monster seemed to sense something.

It lifted its somewhat comical gourd-shaped head and glanced in Zhao Feng's direction.

Subsequently, the round hole like a gourd mouth suddenly split into eight petals, took a bite of the Pandora Worm's weak body, and like slurping fruit juice, made a slurping sound.

The worm's body trembled violently; this was its unwilling struggle before death!

The world gradually faded away in its consciousness.

An earth-yellow, intangible orb of light floated out tremblingly, and with a suck from the monster, it also entered the monster's mouth.

The monster let out a satisfied roar, its segmented limbs ran quickly, kicking up dust that filled the sky, and it headed in Zhao Feng's direction.
