Chapter 182: Giant Tree
Meng Xingchen and Cattelan looked at each other, and then continued to approach the area of ​​​​faint light.

It wasn't long before the faint roars of beasts could be heard.

Cattelan immediately controlled the shield to fly up, and Meng Xingchen also leaped up and stood behind the shield.

A hundred meters above the ground, the two flew in the direction where the monster was roaring.

The glimmer became brighter and brighter, and gradually, Cattelan was able to roughly see the situation in the glimmer land.

In the distance, the rock wall above slants down, making the underground space much lower.

Faintly, within the rock wall that was shining with black light, there was a giant tree at least a kilometer long with twisted branches. It was rooted in the rock wall above and was hanging upside down, hanging there in an extremely strange manner.

What's even more bizarre is that this giant upside-down tree with twisted branches has thousands of pink branches hanging down from its twisted branches, emitting endless pink glow. The branches are dancing, as if they are fighting with an unknown number of shadowy monsters below.

"The living giant tree..."

At this moment, Cattelan was almost stunned.

"escape!"

At this moment, Meng Xingchen behind him suddenly patted him and shouted in a low voice.

"Ah?" Cattelan woke up suddenly.

He wanted to turn around and ask, but he immediately noticed something unusual.

Just in front of the two people, at about 11 o'clock, about several thousand meters away, a shadowy and dark group of flying monsters were flying towards them at a rapid speed.

"laugh!"

Cattelan immediately used his shield, turned around and ran.

However, just in front of the black mass of flying monsters, a huge bird suddenly flapped its wings and accelerated suddenly.

"boom!"

Amid a strong sonic boom, the huge bird broke away from the herd like an arrow and chased after the two men at a rapid speed.

"What level is this?"

When Cattelan saw the speed of the huge bird, his heart suddenly tightened.

After following Meng Xingchen for so long and killing a large number of monsters, he has never encountered a monster that can break the speed of sound so easily.

This speed was much faster than the speed at which he flew using his shield, so he definitely couldn't outfly the opponent.

"Look back!"

Behind him, Meng Xingchen's low voice sounded.

"..."

Cattelan was shocked, but instinctively he spun the shield under his feet and rushed towards the huge bird flying from behind.

After being in the team for so long, Cattelan instinctively believed in all of Meng Xingchen's commands.

"Yo..."

Seeing the two humans in front of it dared to rush towards it, the huge bird let out a loud cry, and a hint of excitement flashed in its pair of huge purple eyes.

One thousand meters.

Five hundred meters.

The distance between the two sides instantly shortened.

"Hold the shield!"

Meng Xingchen let out a low shout, and then his body suddenly flew up and broke away from the flying shield.

Although Cattelan immediately used his mental power to strengthen the shield under his feet after hearing Meng Xingchen's voice, he was still shaken by the powerful recoil force. The shield under his feet tilted and almost fell down.

"..."

Cattelan's expression changed slightly, and there was astonishment in his eyes.

In the past few days, he has been hunting beast general-level mutant creatures everywhere, and he has never seen Meng Xingchen truly burst out with such powerful strength.

"boom!"

Meng Xingchen broke away from the shield in an instant, and his speed easily broke the sound barrier. In less than a third of a second, he came face to face with the huge bird that shot out from the sky.

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the huge bird. Its huge wings vibrated suddenly, trying its best to retract the impact on its body. At the same time, its huge claws stretched out quickly and grabbed Meng Xingchen who was rushing over.

Unfortunately, the three forces collided so quickly that it was caught off guard and could not react in time.

"Oh!"

The huge bird's back sank slightly, and Meng Xingchen was already on top of its back.

"Yo..."

The huge bird screamed and suddenly rolled in the air, trying to throw Meng Xingchen off.

Unfortunately, this is obviously wishful thinking.

"Oh!"

After landing on the back of the giant bird, Meng Xingchen quickly reached out and grabbed the fluff behind its neck.

Although they are called fluff, in fact each one is like an inverted steel needle. If one is weak, one might end up piercing his palm with just a grab.

"call!"

At this moment, the huge bird just had time to roll in the air.

"Boom!"

Meng Xingchen kicked the giant bird hard on the back, instantly stimulating his spiritual power.

Soul affinity!

The huge bird's eyes were filled with shock for a moment, and then its body suddenly turned over and fled in panic towards the group of monsters flying behind it. "Buzz..."

Meng Xingchen suddenly increased his mental strength, and the power of spiritual affinity was instantly stimulated to the extreme.

"call!"

A spiritual connection was created between him and the giant bird.

There was a flash of confusion in the huge purple eyes of the giant bird, but it was still forced to flap its wings under Meng Xingchen's mental command and fly in the other direction.

"Cartlan, kill them!"

Meng Xingchen controlled the purple-eyed bird to fly and shouted to Cattelan at the same time.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Witnessing this scene, Cattelan laughed and flew his shield towards other birds.

In his opinion, Meng Xingchen, at this moment, had already used his mental power just like Ling Xiaozhe to control the mind of this huge bird with terrifying strength and subdue it.

"My future uncle-in-law is really omnipotent!"

This is what Cattelan is thinking at the moment.

Unfortunately, this is not the case.

Meng Xingchen's current spiritual affinity is not enough to truly subdue this purple-eyed bird that is clearly of the "lord level".

His spiritual affinity was only temporary control, requiring constant consumption of mental energy to suppress the other party's mental resistance.

Fundamentally speaking, as a warrior with average basic physique and the fusion of souls from two lives, Meng Xingchen's current spiritual power is much stronger than Ling Xiaozhe and Cattelan in terms of quantity.

The quality is not weak at all.

However, he does not have any special abilities granted by "mental power".

Ling Xiaozhe's spiritual power is gifted with the ability to tame animals, while Cattelan's spiritual power is naturally "telekinesis", which can control objects.

But his spiritual power is "attributeless spiritual power."

This allowed him to learn some of the abilities of a psychic, a beast tamer, and even an illusionist to a certain extent, but he was unable to achieve the true "innate abilities" of a psychic.

For example, at this moment, he can control the purple-eyed bird with his mental power, but he has not actually subdued it. Once his mental power is insufficient, the bird will immediately break free from his mental power.

……

"Puff puff……"

After Meng Xingchen temporarily subdued the purple-eyed birds, the remaining beast general-level and beast soldier-level birds were killed like melons and vegetables in front of the high-level war general-level spiritualist Cattelan.

"Wow..."

Seeing how ferocious the flying humans in front of them were, and their boss was carrying a human on his back and flying to an unknown place, the other mutated birds immediately scattered and fled in the opposite direction from whence they came.

Cattelan used his shield to chase after them, trying to kill as many as possible.

The battle between the strange giant tree and the mutant beasts in the distance is still going on. If he can kill a few more mutant birds, he will definitely face less danger in the future.

On the other side, Meng Xingchen forcibly controlled the purple-eyed bird, circling in the air, and approached the fallen giant tree in front and the endless herd of beasts in a roundabout way.

With so many beasts gathered together and a powerful "plant life" existing, it proves that there must be extraordinary treasures in this underground space!
Kunlun Mountain has always been one of the most mysterious places in the Chinese region, and even in this sparsely populated area, "lord-level" monsters have appeared.

Judging from Xiaoqing, who was curled up in his arms and didn't move at all, there might be "lord-level" monsters among the beasts in the distance.

Xiaoqing is a mutant snake of an alien species. Although she has not yet reached the beast general level, even when she encountered medium or even high-level beast general level monsters before, she was not as scared as she is now.

The purple-eyed bird was extremely fast, and within a moment, it had circled to the right side of the beast-giant tree battlefield.

"Rumble..."

Hundreds of monsters of various colors on the periphery clearly smelled Meng Xingchen's breath, and immediately roared and screamed, turned around and leaped into the air to pounce.

However, Meng Xingchen was controlling the purple-eyed bird to fly more than a hundred meters above the ground at this moment, and these monsters outside could not reach him at all.

Ignoring the howling of the monsters below, Meng Xingchen stared towards the core of the beast battlefield.

This sight made his heart pound.

In the core of the herd, on top of a hill, there are five or six huge snow-white flower crowns growing.

Some of these corollas are tens of centimeters in diameter, and the largest is over one meter. The petals are all snow-white, but the stamens stand upright and are dark black, with slightly smaller buds emerging from the top.

"Yo..."

At this time, the purple-eyed bird under Meng Xingchen's feet also glanced at those snow-white crowns, and there was an extremely strong desire in its spiritual consciousness.

After looking at the snow-white crowns, the purple-eyed bird looked up into the sky at the strange giant tree growing upside down.

At this moment, the giant tree's thousands of pink branches were twitching in all directions like thousands of whips, driving away the huge herds of beasts on three sides and firmly protecting all the snow-white crowns.

"What kind of plant life is this?" Meng Xingchen looked at the rock wall above and the slightly raised roots of the giant tree, and asked No. 93 in his mind.

"Master, I have never seen this kind of plant life in my database."

The soft voice of No. 93 sounded.

"What strength is it?"

Meng Xingchen turned and asked.

"It has not yet broken through the planetary level and is at the peak of the apprentice level." No. 93 immediately said: "The master's strength is far from comparable to it. I suggest the master avoid it."

"What about the snow-white flower crowns below? What treasures are they?" Meng Xingchen asked.

"The information is incomplete." No. 93's voice was still gentle, "But given the master's strength, if he falls into the beast group below, he will definitely die."

"..."Meng Xingchen was speechless for a while.

Looking up again, Meng Xingchen saw the giant tree with thousands of branches dancing wildly. He controlled the purple-eyed bird and flew towards the rock wall above the underground space.
