Chapter 80

"Let go!"

Zheng Chen, whose wrist was grabbed by Xi Ya, frowned slightly and tried to pull away, but he couldn't break free! Moreover, his wrist was in pain, and even with her delicate appearance, she couldn't hide her monstrous nature.

"My child... our child... No, don't hurt our child!!!"

In a state of confusion and panic, the vines on Xi Ya's body suddenly went berserk! They grew wildly, and the berserk state appeared again.

"..." Chen Kai's mouth dropped open in shock as he stared at the sudden change, his jaw almost hitting the ground. What the hell is going on? It's just a scene of two bird eggs being stepped on! Does it have to be like a boss's second transformation?

He felt that he was about to be eaten at any moment, and Baru and Hida were already hugging each other in fear.

What about Zheng Chen, who was even closer?

A large syringe filled with a potent suppressant quickly formed in Zheng Chen's hand, but noticing the robots that had shifted their attention, he put the suppressant away, which he had prepared for Xi Ya.

Facing a large number of robot soldiers, he couldn't afford to protect the combat-inactive Xi Ya.

These robot soldiers would first eliminate the highest threat, and the current Xi Ya was a major threat source!

So the robot soldiers abandoned the players with low threat levels and gathered around Xi Ya. Several laser beams hit the vines on her body, causing the active vines to break, and the broken parts smoked from the burn.

"Die, you freaks!!!"

The broken vines quickly regenerated and extended towards the robot soldiers. Dense light arrays appeared around the extending vines, and more vines emerged from them, tightly wrapping around the robot soldiers.

Even with their hard shells, the robot soldiers couldn't withstand the thick vines. In a short time, their shells were crushed, exposing their vulnerable interiors, which were then completely crushed.

The vines on Xi Ya's body were a mutation of her own body, while the vines extending from the light arrays were likely her attribute abilities.

At this moment, her power seemed to have not weakened much, and it even seemed stronger than before!

After Zheng Chen extracted many black particles from her, her overall power level did weaken, but that didn't mean she had weakened. As her power level decreased, her burden also lessened. Previously, due to her body's chaos and collapse, she couldn't utilize much of the vast power she had accumulated through absorbing life.

Now, with the burden reduced, she could utilize more of her power. As for the lost power... to put it in perspective, if you reduce 20,000 from 100,000, you still have 80,000, which is still a huge amount!

Xi Ya could crush the robot soldiers and even use other Holy War Angel attribute powers through the extending vines, but the robot soldiers' attacks also inflicted significant damage on her.

A single laser beam could penetrate several vines, and if hit, the high temperature would severely damage the vine, making the latter part unusable.

Regenerating the vines was also a drain on Xi Ya. Her rapid regeneration wasn't unlimited, and with high consumption, it brought a sense of hunger!

At this moment, Xi Ya still had some rationality and didn't attack Lei and Zheng Chen. After bypassing them, she began hunting the players hiding around, who became her mobile health and mana sources.

Not only those players, but Zheng Chen also noticed that the vines on Xi Ya's body had pierced into the ground. Chen Kai didn't notice this, but Zheng Chen felt a sense of danger. What was under this land?

Besides the city in the middle layer, there was also the enormous root system of this giant tree!

As he thought, the vines extending from Xi Ya seemed to connect to something, making her abandon the hunt for the unfortunate players. Or perhaps, with the strong support, she no longer needed such a small supplement.

The vines, increasingly suppressed by the robot soldiers, became even more ferocious and violent. They would regenerate instantly after being cut by lasers, and their regenerative ability was beyond description.

When they first approached, Xi Ya was still normal and very interested in this place. After coming here, her reaction suggested that she was attracted by the tranquil aura emitted by the giant tree. Now, it seemed that the vast life force contained in the tree was also a major factor attracting her.

Zheng Chen was also puzzled. This Sky City clearly wasn't on the ground. Even if the soil could provide nutrients, how could it support such a massive tree?

"Lei! Fusion, we don't have much time!" Zheng Chen said to Lei in a deep voice.

"Want to stop Xi Ya?" Lei immediately placed her hand on Zheng Chen's, as she didn't want to see Xi Ya in this monstrous form.

"Let's talk about that later. We have other things to do." Zheng Chen swung the Green Wind Sword, and the air currents around them dispersed after the fusion. Sensing the intense conflict between Black Spot and Lei's powers, he asked, "How long can you hold on?"

"I'm not sure." Lei hesitated and answered somewhat insincerely. Her previous consumption hadn't been restored, and the number of black particles on Zheng Chen had increased, directly reducing their fusion time.

"Don't overdo it."

Zheng Chen said softly, not looking at the rampaging Xi Ya, and turned to Chen Kai, "You're on your own."

Then he said to Hida, "Come with me."

"Wait! I want to go too!" Although he didn't know what Zheng Chen was going to do, Baru, who had a good impression of Hida, didn't want Hida to be taken away by Zheng Chen.

Zheng Chen's identity was too strange. First, the gentle big sister beside him suddenly went berserk and turned into a monster, and then the cute blue-haired girl turned into a large green sword.

What kind of people are these...

"You have something to do too." Zheng Chen pointed to the sky pirates being chased by the robot soldiers. They were captured by the army and, even with their hands and feet tied, could still roll around to avoid attacks, showing their survival skills.

When observing, Zheng Chen noticed that Hida and Baru looked at them with concern, indicating that they had some special interaction when they came here, so they cared a lot. "They can't hold on much longer."

"Baru, take care of Dora and the others." Thinking about what Zheng Chen might do, Hida said firmly, "I also have something important to do."

"..." After some hesitation, Baru nodded under Hida's gaze and quickly ran down. When they came, Hida had told him her full name, 'Rosida Doyel Uru Laputa'!

Her true identity was a Laputan...

Without Dora, the captured sky pirates, they couldn't have come to this place. After a brief interaction, they knew that these sky pirates weren't inherently bad.

"Wait! I'll go with you!" Chen Kai ran down with Baru without hesitation. Stay here? No way, he wasn't stupid. Staying here alone felt like a death sentence!

Oh, if Zheng Chen left temporarily, Xi Ya would still be here, and he didn't want to try to gain the favor of this ferocious and cruel monster at all!

"Xi Ya will be fine for now. Let's go!" Sensing Lei's worry, Zheng Chen said calmly. With the support of the giant tree, Xi Ya could handle the robot soldiers alone if given enough time!

To stop her, they needed to be in a safe environment. Zheng Chen wouldn't make the same mistake as in the Edel Garden.

"Okay..." The phantom Lei still looked at Zheng Chen with concern. Through the fusion, she sensed that Zheng Chen wasn't unwilling to stop Xi Ya but had something important to do.

Lifting his weapon slightly, the wind gathered around him. The power of the Seven Radiant Treasure Tree wasn't just about power levels but also about manifestation. Normally, a Holy War Angel's fusion spell attacks were few, one or two at most.

Even the Gullathias Zheng Chen had encountered before, his fusion spell attack was a large-scale black sword pressure. If Zheng Chen hadn't been constantly engaged in battle and prevented him from casting spells, his chances of winning would have been slim.

A large-scale attack could be avoided once or twice, but repeated hits would reduce one's combat ability.

After fusing with Lei, Zheng Chen easily gathered the wind, which enhanced his speed and allowed him to glide in the air to some extent.

He quickly approached the lower area of the Sky City with Hida. The robot soldiers' defenses couldn't withstand the Green Wind Sword's blade.

"Do you know how to get in?" The lower layer of the Sky City was completely different from the middle and upper layers. It was a perfect half-sphere, with seven black stone pillars extending around it. The attacks came from here.

To create a safe environment, they first needed to deal with the people controlling the Sky City.

Hida shook her head; she didn't know much about the Sky City.

She touched the wall of the lower area, which had many interfaces, like building blocks. Zheng Chen lifted the Green Wind Sword and stabbed it into a seam.
