Chapter 495 Big Tree
Two days later, the tree was still clinging to the main star, unwilling to leave.

The federal chief finally issued the order to attack.

In space, countless cannons fired at the tree's trunk.

When the artillery fire hit the tree trunk, the tree indeed went berserk.

Countless vines attacked the warships directly, and even if a vine broke, a new one would immediately grow.

"Quickly, retreat!!"

"All warships, retreat!!"

However, by then it was clearly too late to retreat.

The enraged trees unleashed their vines indiscriminate attacks, like giant pythons, intercepting the warships.

The barrage of artillery fire only managed to break a few vines, failing to damage the trunk and instead further enraging it.

Several warships were shot down.

Fortunately, when the ship was shot down, the soldiers had all boarded the escape pods and were met by other warships, but there were still casualties.

Helpless, the three remaining warships quickly rescued the people and withdrew.

One of the warships, trapped in the vines, was playing music in an attempt to calm the tree.

But the angry tree was clearly not so easy to appease.

It crushed everything that made a sound.

Fortunately, this gave the surviving warships time to escape.

Calmness returned to space.

Everyone in the control room fell silent. After a long while, someone finally exclaimed, "Damn, this is clearly a monster. How are we supposed to fight it?"

"The worst part is that we angered it."

Feeling the energy shield being attacked again and again, everyone began to panic.

"The energy shield won't last much longer."

"Although the tree didn't attack us in the past few days, we kept it running just in case, which consumed a lot of energy."

"If it weren't for the supplies dropped from outside, we might not have even survived the rainy days."

"This is so annoying! Who provoked these cosmic beasts? Aren't they usually hiding in deep space?"

"Is it possible...it's because of the singing?"

The speaker was immediately spotted by the chief, who said with displeasure, "Don't utter such unfounded guesses."

Miss Jiang Qin has made tremendous contributions to both our Federation and the Orcs of the entire interstellar space.

You start by slandering others, but have you ever considered their contributions?

Some felt ashamed, while others didn't care.

"The probability of this happening is very high. We haven't said anything; it's just a reasonable guess."

Otherwise, why would that big tree only respond to her singing?

"That's right. Maybe the reason we can't lure her away is because it's a recording. Perhaps if we invite her to sing on the spaceship, we can take the space beast away?"

"Are you guys crazy? That's an S-class female!!"

"We know she's an S-class female, and we have no intention of letting her risk her life."

However, once the energy shield shatters, not only S-class females, but all the females on our main planet might die.

And it's just a trial; we'll definitely come up with a foolproof plan.

Someone looked at the silent, dark-faced chief and reminded him, "You should know that none of us here have a female at home?"
Not to mention the officials who are female themselves, do you think we don't know that females are precious?

"When the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken!"

"Perhaps we can ask Miss Jiang herself what she thinks about this. If something happens, she won't be able to escape either."

Why not give it a try? At worst, we can send all our warships and spaceships to escort her, along with all the escape pods, and provide assistance from the sidelines.”

This time, no one spoke. After a moment of silence, the chief also wondered if this approach would actually be effective.

He said in a deep voice, "We'll discuss this later. Let's ask Miss Jiang to come over first. I'd like to speak with her personally."

……

After Jiang Qin arrived, she sat quietly.

The chief didn't mention using her as bait; he just wanted to analyze with her why this big tree liked listening to music.

"Sir, this kind of thing should be left to the research institute to study."

"They've done their research, but without any results, so I'd like to ask you to cooperate with us on an experiment."

"What experiment?"

“Our energy shield can withstand attacks for a few more days, so I would like to ask you to take a spaceship to the edge of space and sing a song to see how it will react when it hears it.”

As for how to transmit the sound, there are various high-tech solutions available, so it's not a problem at all.

The chief engineer mainly wanted to test whether there was any difference between Jiang Qin's singing and the recording.

If it really works, then he will beg Jiang Qin to try to lure it away.

But if there is no difference, then no one is allowed to mention this matter again, and they will focus on cutting off the tail to survive.

As long as it's within the energy shield and doesn't leave the planet, Jiang Qin is naturally willing to try.

As for the results of the test, she could naturally guess them.

First, it was useless, so everyone on the planet relied on their own abilities to escape.

Secondly, if it's useful, then she'll probably have to lure monsters away...

To be honest, she was scared.

After all, she is living such a happy life now, with a handsome and considerate husband and a lovely daughter.

There is a new life about to be born inside her.

At that moment, she was selfish and didn't want to take any risks.

The tree's strength is undeniable.

She hesitated precisely because she knew how terrible it was.

She was afraid of dying, and even more afraid that the people she cared about would die before her.

She didn't have that much sense of righteousness, nor did she think that sacrificing herself to save millions of people was anything great.

But if taking a risk could give someone she cares about a chance to live, she was still tempted.

After all, she might not necessarily die...

The giant tree was clearly enraged; it relentlessly attacked the planet, even using all its vines to entangle the entire planet.

If it weren't for the fact that the host planet has natural weather devices, the entire planet would probably be shrouded in darkness long ago.

All the instruments that flew out to try to interfere with it were destroyed.

Those that used to play music could survive, but now even the music players can only be kept quiet for half an hour.

Half an hour later, it will impatiently wave its vines around haphazardly.

In this situation, it would be very difficult to leave the main star safely.

Once the energy shield is destroyed, the planet will face its end.

Seeing her silence, the chief didn't urge her, but sighed and then played a video.

The video shows many small spaceships attempting to leave the host planet, all of which were shot down by the giant tree.

"This is the result of those powerful families' probing; no spaceship can escape its detection."

Even with multiple spaceships coordinating their attacks and using feints, they still cannot escape safely.

We have become caged beasts.
