Beast Taming: Abyssal Descent

Chapter 654 - 452

The movements of Grey Wolf were nothing short of swift.

However, the Transformers sent out to collect resources encountered an ambush by the Silver Cannibal Tree.

This entity, with its extensive root system, covered the entire ruined city. It seemed to have countless eyes, and any Transformer approaching the Red Fog would be destroyed by its roots.

Left with no other choice, the Wolf King had to accelerate away, leaving the area and moving to the outskirts of the ruined city, where the roots did not cover.

With dozens of Transformers working together, they swiftly gathered what Grey Wolf needed.

Enraged by the Silver Cannibal Tree, the Wolf King unleashed an incredible research enthusiasm, a thousand percent more than usual.

In less than half an hour, it had created a Red Fog absorption compression device.

Using the energy of the Wolf King as its core, a room was specifically created to absorb and compress the Red Fog.

Simultaneously, within the Red Fog, Grey Wolf made numerous discoveries.

For instance, an Evolution Factor!

This thing can induce biological mutation and evolution!

As long as one is exposed to the Red Fog for extended periods, this Evolution Factor will cause organisms to mutate!

This is the reason why trees and plants can grow dozens of stories high, and animals mutate into gigantic creatures.

During the initial trial, the giant tiger and massive toad Mo Qingchen witnessed were mutations caused by this Evolution Factor.

It can be said that the Silver Cannibal Tree was also affected by this thing.

As for those deformed and mutated gnomes, and partially mechanized deformed gnomes, their mutations went awry. Unwilling to accept this, they modified themselves, eventually losing their sentience and becoming monsters.

Grey Wolf analyzed the components of the Red Fog and sealed the room designed to absorb the fog.

Before he can safely guide biological mutations, he dared not take out the compressed Red Fog.

If anything went wrong and caused his companions to mutate into monsters, it would be a huge problem.

In fact, Grey Wolf could thoroughly research and improve this thing, given time.

But now, Mo Qingchen needed to resolve the massive threat posed by the Silver Cannibal Tree and had no time to study the Red Fog carefully.

Therefore, he planned to seal everything up, take it back, and study it slowly.

With the Wolf King absorbing the pervasive Red Fog, it could at least absorb it on a large scale locally, creating a fog-free area starting from the Twin Towers throughout the ruined city.

In doing so, sunlight shone directly down, fully exposing the roots lurking in the Red Fog.

Like lighting a fire on oil, all the roots exposed to sunlight began to emit black smoke almost instantaneously.

Under sunlight, the roots withered at an incredible speed.

After an hour of exposure, all the roots in the fog-free area had withered and died, leaving no trace of life.

With this lethal move by Mo Qingchen, the Silver Cannibal Tree hidden in the underground laboratory began to tremble.

Countless buried roots started to churn, causing the ground to quake.

But it could only tremble a bit, unable to deal with the Wolf King positioned thousands of meters high in the sky.

It wasn’t that it couldn’t reach them; it was just that the opponent wasn’t afraid of the root prisons. Chasing them would only deplete its own energy.

Furthermore, with the massive death of its roots, especially those on the ground, the Silver Cannibal Tree could also feel pain.

The insect robots released earlier also started searching for the database in the underground laboratory.

This base, seemingly already destroyed, still had energy running in its server database, though some parts were damaged by the Silver Cannibal Tree’s roots.

This led to a massive loss of data stored on the servers.

Not just massive loss, but many data were incomplete, making it impossible to fully restore the data files.

However, even with a damaged database, it could still provide Grey Wolf some benefits.

Through the transmission by the insect robots, the Wolf King segregated the remaining lab database data into a separate folder and started filtering it.

Complete data files were placed in independent folders, while incomplete data were set aside for future analysis.

Through this data, Mo Qingchen understood how advanced this civilization was.

This was a civilization that had already left their planet, growing into an Interstellar Civilization.

However, this civilization offended another, more powerful civilization, and was then targeted with a special pollutant called Death Red Fog.

Subsequently, their entire home planet was enveloped in the Red Fog, causing all life forms to mutate from contamination.

But the civilization was not entirely exterminated—being an Interstellar Civilization, some of its population managed to escape into space via spaceships.

They had to abandon their home planet, unable to counter the Death Red Fog.

Any contact with it would result in mutation, with the degree of mutation increasing the higher the intelligence, usually resulting in adverse mutations.

This is why Mo Qingchen, during his first entry into the Civilization’s Wound trial dungeon, encountered so many deformed gnome robots.
