Chapter 523 [Empire] Opening Eyes

The leaves of the young green seedling trembled slightly, as if sensing the changes around it. As it revived, the oppressive, dreary atmosphere quickly spread. Light seeped through its branches and leaves, like the brightest stars in the night sky, dazzling and strange.

The transparent vine also sensed the awakening of the cyan seedling. It instantly slipped from my wrist and silently climbed up the cyan seedling's trunk, releasing an icy aura that instantly solidified the air. As it moved, the growth of the surrounding plants suddenly slowed, as if the previously violent vines were suppressed by an invisible force.

"Retreat quickly!" I shouted and turned to yell at my teammates.

We can't delay any longer at this moment. The suppressive force released by the cyan seedlings has begun to affect the surrounding combat plants, significantly slowing their attack speed, and some plants even becoming stiff and stagnant. However, that mysterious energy reaction didn't last long. After all, the cyan seedlings' power is limited. It will take time to completely suppress these combat plants.

"We have to find their core and get rid of these things." Qianmo's voice came from the side, with a hint of calmness in his eyes.

I didn't respond, only silently nodding as I led the team into action. We moved swiftly, searching for the combat plants' weaknesses. The frost from the transparent vines continued to spread, freezing a large area, but its power wasn't unlimited; we had to find the key areas.

At that moment, I suddenly saw a giant battle plant emerge from the ruins and rush towards us like a giant beast. It was extremely large, the curved blades on its leaves flashed a dangerous luster, and its vines were like countless ropes, crisscrossing and cutting through the air, with a menacing momentum.

"This is their main force." Qianmo said in a low voice.

I quickly drew my weapon, ready to engage. This giant plant was clearly far more powerful than the previous ones. Its attacks were more swift and ferocious, even carrying powerful gusts of wind. Every swing of its vines unleashed a violent storm. The surrounding debris was instantly lifted, scattering debris everywhere.

"We need to distract it!" I ordered loudly.

Qianmo nodded, quickly pulled out a small explosive pack from the side, and hurled it at a vine of the battle plant. The vine blew apart, revealing a gleaming green core. Unfortunately, the explosives didn't completely destroy the core, and the battle plant roared and lunged again.

"Go!" I shouted at Qianmo.

Without hesitation, he quickly pulled a green crystal from his backpack and threw it towards the plant's core. The crystal shone brightly, and the moment it made direct contact with the core, green energy exploded, creating a powerful shockwave.

The battle plant instantly let out a tearing scream, its vines twisting violently, the entire plant struggling. Its shell began to crack, its core exploding, and green liquid emanated. As its core was destroyed, the plant's movements began to slow, until it finally stiffened completely, turning into a dead mass.

I breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the other team members. This victory was only temporary, but at least we could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Is the mission completed?" I looked at Qianmo.

He shook his head, his expression still tense. "This is just the beginning. There are many more challenges ahead," he said slowly, his eyes still gleaming with calmness. "We must find a more effective method to completely eliminate these combat plants."

I nodded. Although I still felt heavy in my heart, at least for now, the dawn of victory has illuminated our way forward.
