Chapter 494 Temptation Doesn't Work
When the spaceship that had flown away was once again entangled in front of it by the vines and shaken, music started playing on the spaceship.

The big tree did indeed stop.

"Success!!"

"It did react. Quick, have another spaceship distract it."

The warriors chosen to pilot the spaceship were basically those whose riot value had reached over 80%.

They were at risk of losing their minds and turning into beasts at any moment, so they signed an agreement, willing to give their lives to bring glory and compensation to their families.

Although it was a tragic situation, there were things that had to be done.

If this giant tree were to strike the planet, even more people would die.

The fact that only a few orc warriors with high riot values ​​have died is already considered a minimum casualty.

Moreover, it's not a situation where certain death is inevitable.

If they can successfully lure the tree away, they might have a chance to escape in the escape pod.

Everyone was intently watching the recording transmitted back from the spaceship.

The large tree was slowly loosening the vines binding the main star.

Several spaceships with their speakers on are taking turns trying to guide the tree away, but it's proving very difficult to operate.

Because the tree had many vines, it captured all the spaceships.

Helpless, the pilots inside the spacecraft could only use the escape pod to evacuate the spacecraft and fall into deep space to the sound of music.

After hesitating for a moment, the giant tree-like creature stretched out its vines and tied the escape pods back as well.

He then placed all these things in front of him and sat there in a daze.

What is it doing?

"Do you enjoy listening to music? Or are you thinking about something?"

Everyone was extremely nervous.

The luring plan failed. Given the number of its vines, even sending a hundred more spaceships wouldn't have made a difference.

No matter how many spaceships there are, it will capture them all.

In this way, at most it will only hold it back.

The chief comforted, "For now, the music is still working for it, so we don't need to send the soldiers out in their ships to lure it anymore."

First, have someone find a way to send out more machines equipped with speakers. As soon as one is damaged, quickly send out another one.

"We must stall it for now. I will request aid from the Empire as soon as possible and have other planets send reinforcements."

No one objected.

This is the best possible outcome.

If they can hold it off, they might be able to wait for reinforcements to arrive and kill it.

Thinking about the various uses of the cosmic beast, everyone felt a surge of excitement.

Seeing that there was nothing more for her to do, Jiang Qin left, since she couldn't be of much help here anyway.

……

The cities on the main star returned to peace.

Many people are unaware of the crisis this planet is experiencing. They assume the crisis is over once the alarms are sound and everything seems fine.

Only those with immense power are still trying to escape this planet.

After all, that tree was like a sharp knife about to fall, threatening their lives at every moment.

If we weren't trapped, everyone would have run away long ago.

For the next few days, Jiang Qin had a pleasant stay at the Lan family's house.

Undisturbed, Lan Yidan and her partners were very considerate, always sending a message to Lan Yuyan before coming to her home.

If she's resting, I won't bother her; I'll just let Lan Yuyan take Zhaozhao over to play. The little girl has been receiving so many gifts these past few days that her hands are sore from holding them.

When she grows up, sorting out all these gifts will be a huge undertaking.

As for monitoring the big tree, that was naturally Yuan Ling's job.

Their information is synchronized with internal communications from high-ranking federal officials.

"how are you today?"

Yuan Ling shook his head. "It just stopped there and hasn't moved yet. It's just listening to music quietly."

"I wonder what this tree is trying to do. Did it come here specifically to listen to music?"

"Maybe... the singing will work on it?" Long Hao laughed as he finished speaking, finding the guess absurd.

Yun Xie then looked at Jiang Qin and asked, "Qinqin, what do you think?"

Others might find it outrageous, but Yun Xie was already used to his partner's peculiarities, so he didn't think the guess was outrageous.

On the contrary, he felt it was very likely, but he had never seen that tree, so he couldn't draw a conclusion.

"I don't know either. We know too little about the cosmic beasts, and we can't even be sure if they have consciousness."

After all, many of the orcs who had seen the cosmic beasts died instantly.

To date, no one has been able to kill them, nor has anyone been able to communicate with them at close range.

Our understanding of them comes mostly from survivors' accounts, occasional captured images, and the corpses of cosmic beasts found in space.

So who knows if they can communicate?

Judging from their destructive behavior, they seem to think more like animals.

"However, what is certain is that it really likes listening to Qinqin's songs."

In the past few days, the federal government hasn't been sitting idly by either.

They also conducted an experiment and found that the tree was not interested in things playing other people's songs.

However, it's not too violent; it usually grabs things and plays with them for a while before accidentally destroying them.

Compared to those cosmic beasts that destroy everything in their path, it's already considered to have a good temper.

That's probably why Jiang Qin and the others were able to survive.

But those things that play Jiang Qin's songs won't be accidentally destroyed; they'll usually only break into pieces when the music stops because of excessive shaking.

This confirmed to them that the big tree clearly cared about Jiang Qin's singing.

"If we still can't lure it away after two days, the Federation will launch an attack on it."

All support teams have now arrived.

"If a fight breaks out, won't it go berserk?" Cang Hong asked.

"We have to fight it even if it goes berserk. It's getting more and more impatient. If we don't do anything, it might go berserk any day."

Everyone was silent.

Jiang Qin forced a smile. "Alright, even if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. Let the officials worry about making decisions."

There's no point in us thinking about it here. We might as well think about how to leave safely if we need to later.

“That’s right, this is a problem that the Federal Chief needs to consider. No matter how much we think about it, it won’t affect their decision.”

"You guys go ahead and eat, I'll skip this. I've made a new breakthrough in my research recently, so I need to get back to work."

"Just call us if you need any help."

"Okay, Qinqin, I'll go back to the lab first."

Jiang Qin nodded and asked Shi Lichuan to accompany her.

Recently, Yuan Ling has been staying in the laboratory built in their basement, rarely going out, only occasionally coming to visit them.

Most of the time, he was studying the spaceship that the machine race had brought back.
