The fox has no bad intentions

Chapter 679 How could you be so selfish, you tree!
"That thing does indeed belong to the [Second Era], but due to monitoring limitations, I misjudged its level."

As the storm gradually subsided, smoke and dust filled the northwestern area of ​​the Bashan sinkhole, and spiraling, scorched gullies emerged on the surface, extending into the interior of a sinkhole with increasingly dense patterns.

Wang Qiqi looked around before awkwardly explaining to Master Fuli.

Although the security bureau did not dismantle the ceramic box, it collected and analyzed the viscous liquid that had seeped from the bottom of the box.

The fungi inside the ceramic box were of a lower biological level and less active than [Zhu Jiuyin]. The fungi that created the core of Zhu Jiuyin should have been decomposition and corrosion bacteria in a garbage recycling station in the [Second Era] civilization.

All of the above are consumer goods.

The fungal armor worn by the dragon people is a biological battle armor made from the secretions of the fungal mother plant.

"Misjudging the level doesn't matter; I thought you were trying to tell me we bombed the wrong target."

The beast-man form of the fox lord lowered the gravity hammer he had been holding horizontally in front of him, and with a slightly strange look in his eyes, looked at the golden leopard that was sniffing his scent and asked, "What are you sniffing?"

"Smell the powerful masculine scent."

The leopard responded, its massive head turning towards Wang Qiqi. It stood up, raised its paw, pointed at Master Fuli, and said to Wang Qiqi:
"That's it. Go find me a feline with such a powerful aura for a blind date."

Wang Qiqi rolled her eyes, not wanting to pay attention to Jin Qianbao's outrageous remarks.

Looking for something? And you're limiting it to felines? How polite of you!

"Let's talk about blind dates later!" Master Fuli looked at Wang Qiqi and asked, "You said earlier that the bionic detector had found the cave. Do you have a map showing the route to the cave?"

“Yes, we’ve laid fiber optic cables in the underground river so that we can synchronize with the cloud server and access the data for modeling at any time.” Wang Qiqi took out her phone and pulled up a slightly rough 3D model. Then, she marked a route on it with red crosses all the way through.

Red markings on the route map indicate locations where detectors have been damaged.

When that strange thing emerged, it showed no mercy to the detectors in the underground river, creating a wave that submerged everything in its path, including the detectors.

"You lead the way, and while you're at it, the logistics team on guard at the cliff edge should do some accounting. Take a look at the damaged detectors along the way, the operation funds, the members' salaries, the celebration banquet, or, in other words, all the expenses related to Tree Master's mission."

"I want to reason with it!"

Master Fuli lifted his heavy hammer, tossed it to Bashan Mosquito beside him to carry, and said to Wang Qiqi:

"This time, we're in the right. Once I unleash its defeat CG, we'll just seize it."

"Is this how the ledger is kept?"

Wang Qiqi led the way, guiding the Golden Leopard to excavate the collapsed entrance to the underground river. With a strange expression, she took out a walkie-talkie and gave orders to the logistics team members: "By the way, according to Master Fuli, we should also include the interest on the funds."

"The cost of weapons testing during the capture of Bashan mosquitoes should definitely be attributed to Baoshu! What were you thinking? If Baoshu hadn't bred Bashan mosquitoes, how could we have fired hundreds of millions of yuan worth of shells that day?"

"I didn't even calculate the satellite fuel cost with it," Wang Qiqi said, her face full of disappointment.

Master Fuli nodded with satisfaction, showing initial approval of Wang Qiqi's accounting skills.

……

Thanks to the combined efforts of the leopard and the Bashan mosquito, the entrance to the underground river, which had been leveled, was once again exposed to the sunlight.

Wang Qiqi took the lead and entered the underground river, guiding Master Fuli in according to the route map.

After the leopard and the Bashan mosquito were subdued, they carried Master Fuli's gravity hammer into the river.

After passing several underground river forks, and traveling nearly eight kilometers inward, we arrived at the entrance of the cave where the bionic probes had all perished. Streams of cold, bone-chilling water cascaded down from the tributaries into the cave, creating the sound of flowing water.

Amidst the rushing sound of water.

Wang Qiqi grabbed a protruding rock face, climbed onto a platform beside the waterfall, then turned around and picked up Master Fuli, who was swimming in the underground river. "Splash—"

However, just then.

A series of crisp sounds of bamboo sticks striking flesh reached everyone's ears.

Following the sound, Master Fuli looked towards the waterfall entrance that connected to the cave.

Above the cave ceiling, there is a tree that occupies the entire rock ceiling. Its dense, leafless branches hang down to the ground like willow branches, swaying gently.

The branches droop down in a protective posture, surrounding the tower, which is about ten meters high. The branches extend inward from all directions of the tower, which is extremely eerie.

Beyond the high wall formed by intertwined tree branches, on the cave floor, there were more than a dozen strange black creatures that An Sheng had just seen. They were square-shaped, with what looked like a ceramic box on their heads.

Treasure Tree
Just as the Security Bureau speculated, it truly appears to be hanging upside down, but the reason it is upside down is not because it is searching for spirit particles through the branches, but because the treasure tree has found a [Spirit Particle Civilization Ruins].

The branches are drawing nutrients from the ruins, while the roots are the tendrils it sends out to search for spiritual particles.

The Treasure Tree is a tree without leaves, whose two ends have completely transformed into roots, searching for spiritual particles everywhere.

The monsters surrounding Baoshu didn't seem like the subordinates Baoshu had bewitched; they seemed more like people who had come to steal things.
"This tree is obviously selfish." Master Fuli's face darkened as he shook the water droplets off his clothes.

"The tree roots absorb nutrients, which causes it to flower and bear fruit, or produce leaves that fall and decompose into humus. But right now, it's just eating without excreting, like a mythical creature."

"You guys stay in the underground river and wait for me. I'll come over and pull the whole tree down."

Upon seeing Baoshu's appearance, Master Fuli couldn't hide his disappointment.

He had originally hoped to pick about a hundred catties of tea leaves from the precious tree and stir-fry them into a pot of green tea.

But unexpectedly, in just six months, the tree tree with honey covering its trunk, which was once a benevolent and selfless tree, turned into a selfish tree that did not benefit the community.

"Roar--"

With an expression of undisguised disappointment, Master Fuli, holding a gravity hammer, leaped through the air and landed in the cave.

The black monster roared and immediately shifted its attention from the precious tree to Lord Fuli.

The black monster's muscles bulged, its malice erupting without restraint. It lunged forward, opening its hideous, twisted maw, from which a thin red tongue shot out.

"quiet--"

Master Fuli raised the heavy hammer with one hand and swung it straight at the floor of the cave. A burst of intense flames erupted as the hammer pressed against the ground, and a violent wind pressure burst forth and swept outwards in all directions.

The black monster seemed to have crashed into a wall, its body tossed about in the swirling storm.

Several birds clung tightly to the ground, but their efforts only left scratches before they were thrown about, spinning and crashing to the ground.

"Go! All of you, go squat over there!"

"Master is not in the mood for bullfrogs right now, so he should squat down with his hands tightly wrapped around his head!"

Master Fuli glanced sideways at the square-headed bullfrogs, pointing to a corner of the cave wall, and told them to go and squat down there.

"Woo."

Under the watchful gaze of Lord Fuli, the black monsters felt immense pressure. One by one, they obediently squatted down against the rock wall, their hands covering their heads.

After doing all this, one of them, perhaps the more intelligent one, raised its head and let out a whimper towards Master Fuli, as if asking:
"Sir, do you think my squatting posture is correct?"
