203 Whos the Freak... (2/2)

It was extremely fast, and a frightening level of suppressive force was also given off it at the same time. The suppressive force was like an invisible hurricane, directly landing in Wang Baole's mind. As a loud roar erupted, a tide was also formed, causing Wang Baole's head to buzz with activity as he screamed in pain.

It was as if his body had to withstand an unbearably loud volume within a short period of time. The bones in his ears were on the brink of breaking into pieces, and his eardrums were about to burst. He bled from his orifices, his consciousness was being forcefully suppressed at that moment, and he instantly fell into a coma.

His physical body that had been thrown into the air was also out of control, being tightly grasped by the large hand that had emerged from the ground!

The large hand grabbed hold of Wang Baole's body but didn't squash it. It immediately encased him, swiftly circling Wang Baole's body such that, in the blink of an eye, it was transformed into a tree cocoon connected to the hand before burrowing into the ground.

The emotionless puppet cultivators surrounding him stood motionless while watching the events unfold before them. They only turned their heads after the tree cocoon had been brought away. It was as if they were listening to orders, as they quickly turned around and charged towards Coulomb Basin.

As the cultivators left and the entire place returned to a state of peace, the tree hand that was supporting the sky was also lowered gradually, burrowing into the ground once again. As it disappeared, the surrounding black Cloud Fog began to grow thinner, dissipating completely in the time of a few breaths.

The force of the seal no longer existed over a large area. Sun rays from the outside shone in, and everything returned to normal.

Only a small area of black fog remained in the depths of Coulomb Basin. It seemed like that was the epicenter, where the seal was present every single moment.

Within the fog seal, a small tree with branches of varying thickness was surrounded by hundreds of thick, frightening giant trees. The small tree looked as if it was on the brink of death, severely damaged after having suffered severe injuries. Cracks were obvious on its surface, and not a single green leaf grew on it—it appeared as though its life was about to end.

However, if a mighty figure appeared and gazed upon the land, it could see that the underground roots of the small tree were extremely extensive, spanning over ten thousand feet like a maze!

The ten thousand feet long roots also contained thousands of smaller branching roots. Following their trajectory, one could see that they had already emerged from the ground, forming numerous towering giant trees!

Looking from a bird's eye view of the entire area, one would be able to see that all the trees in the core region of Coulomb Basin were formed from the small tree's roots!

The astoundingly large giant trees had not been documented in the Federation's records since the Federation was established.

In the heart of the maze formed by the underground roots, hundreds of fruit-like cocoons were being grown in a space formed by the roots. Each of the cocoons was over tens of feet wide, densely covering the walls of the tree.

One could even see that three fruits were wriggling slowly, while the rest were motionless.

Within the three wriggling fruits were Wang Baole, Zhao Yameng, and Zhuo Yifan. In each of their respective fruits, they appeared just like they did at the exact moment they were captured. Their possessions were even intact. It seemed like they had lost their consciousness, as they stayed motionless with their eyes shut.

They were surrounded and soaked in a type of sticky fluid. There was also concentrated Spirit Qi emanating towards them and entering their bodies continuously from within the giant tree.

It was as if it was trying to assimilate them in that manner. Numerous branches that were like sharp spears grew in each of the fruits, integrating into their heads to connect them together.

It seemed like there was a bizarre existence trying to assimilate their physical bodies and erase their consciousness…

As an unknown period of time passed slowly, the trio was continuously having their consciousness erased while being assimilated. Zhuo Yifan and Zhao Yameng seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep from the start and didn't react at all. However, for Wang Baole, his body vibrated several times. Even though he was not roused, a strange object seemed to have awakened within his body. Gradually, the Spirit Qi that had rushed into his body began to show signs of greed…

On the other hand, the giant tree still seemed ignorant of the kind of freak it was trying to assimilate…
