Hidden quest?

Zhang Lang had entered the altar seven or eight times already, but he had never received a hidden quest like this before. (Google search reading)

Below the prompt, there is also a description of the specific details of the task.

The research institute has created a mutated, man-eating tree with terrifying reproductive capabilities. If left unchecked, it will one day become a horrific species that infests the world. Now that you've discovered this enormous potential crisis, how will you deal with it?

Mission objective: Clear the man-eating trees and kill the Primordial Tree King.

Completion Rewards: 100 to 500 points depending on contribution. Killing the Reincarnator of the Primordial Tree King grants an additional 500 points and the chance to obtain a rare-grade wine enhancement and the Primordial Tree King's fruit.

Whether to accept?

whether?

After reading the mission description, Zhang Lang had some doubts and received a rather vague answer.

"The reason it's called a hidden quest is because it's not easy to trigger. The goal of this kind of quest should have a significant impact on the quest world, but it shouldn't be closely related to the main quest... Anyway, just do it!"

The vague explanation gave Zhang Lang a vague idea.

For example, this time, the main task is to help the doctor find research data and develop a vaccine.

If only the main storyline is completed, it will certainly lead to the creation of a vaccine, enabling humanity to become immune to the virus and rebuild civilization.

However, at the same time, the man-eating tree is also expanding wildly, and may become the number one enemy of a new human civilization!

Of course, the man-eating tree currently occupies only a small botanical garden, and its future remains uncertain.

It might be burned to the ground tomorrow; it might encounter a monster that eats plants and be eaten to extinction; or it might not develop and expand as quickly as humans and eventually become no threat at all.

However, as a potential destabilizing factor that is not closely related to the main quest, the altar still provides a hidden quest for it.

So it seems that the worlds Zhang Lang experienced before might have had hidden missions, but he just didn't encounter them?

No, I've encountered that before!

Zhang Lang remembered that before he entered the altar, he had entered a cyberpunk world called Dream City.

There, the group of reincarnators he hunted earned rewards by doing chores for the natives of the mission world...

Could it be that they are developing a hidden mission?

Hidden missions offer more than just points; they also provide specific rewards.

For example, the fruit of this ancestral tree king?

"Hello, Zhang Lang?"

Sasha's call interrupted Zhang Lang's thoughts.

"You also think this is difficult, right? Let's retreat..." Sasha noticed Zhang Lang's unfocused gaze and complex expression, assuming he was frightened. "These man-eating trees are very dangerous, unlike ordinary plants. I suspect they might even possess some intelligence. They're very dangerous!"

"No problem." Zhang Lang tapped his phone and accepted the task: "I'll be right back!"

After saying that, he lightly touched the ground with his toes and leaped high from the rooftop. Then he activated the Void Moon Step and, amidst a deafening sonic boom, he slanted downwards and rushed into the cannibalistic forest of the botanical garden!

Zhang Lang is very fast.

So fast that the many man-eating trees couldn't react in time, he rushed to the middle of the area and crashed headfirst into the ground!

The impact was like a meteorite falling from the sky, with unparalleled power. The solid ground was blasted into ripples like the surface of water, causing the surrounding man-eating trees to rise and fall. Those that were close by were even knocked down by the shockwave, exposing their roots!

Before the ripples could subside, a mound of earth rose from the ground and began to move at an extremely fast speed, causing man-eating trees to be uprooted and blown away wherever it passed.

Needless to say, beneath that mound of earth was Zhang Lang, who was frantically destroying the tree roots.

For Zhang Lang now, swimming has completely broken free from the constraints of water.

Under Zhang Lang's monstrous strength, the four- or five-meter-tall man-eating trees were as fragile as newly sprouted weeds, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of trees were blown away by their roots.

However, just as Zhang Lang was trying to pull out a tree in the southwest corner of the botanical garden, he suddenly felt tremendous resistance!

From Sasha and Jess's perspective on the building, the tree was also pushed out of the ground as the mound passed by, but unlike the previous man-eating tree, it did not fly directly off the ground. Instead, only part of its root system was exposed before it was fixed back to the ground.

Not just this one, but the next few trees Zhang Lang passed by were not uprooted; they simply exposed their massive root systems and stood crookedly on the ground.

Upon closer inspection, the exposed roots of these man-eating trees appear to be connected.

It turns out that the dozens of man-eating trees in the southwest corner of the botanical garden share a common root system!

From the ground, they appear as individual trees, but underground, they form a vast, interconnected root system, making it impossible to pull out just one tree!

At the same time, these man-eating trees seemed to finally realize what was happening and began attacking the rapidly moving mounds of earth beneath the ground!

Vines pierced the ground, and large jaws bit into the loose soil, like excavators, digging Zhang Lang out in the blink of an eye!

Zhang Lang also sensed something was wrong, so he simply leaped off the ground, but as soon as he emerged, he was greeted by a cloud of yellow mist...

"It's paralyzing poison fog!" Jess, who was on the rooftop, was shocked. Even though he was still far away, he instinctively covered his mouth and nose.

This paralyzing poisonous fog is another skill of the man-eating tree. The yellow fog it secretes has a strong nerve paralysis effect. Once ordinary animals come into contact with it, their whole bodies will stiffen and they will be unable to move, leaving them at the mercy of the man-eating tree.

"No matter how powerful Zhang Lang is, he still needs to breathe..." Sasha said with a worried expression. "Jess, send a few zombies in to look for him!"

"That poisonous fog doesn't just spread through respiration!" Jess covered his nose and took a step back. "It penetrates the body once it touches the skin; even zombies get affected!"

As the two were discussing this, a piercing scream suddenly came from within the yellow poisonous fog!

"Is it Zhang Lang?" Sasha looked down in horror, and arcs of electricity involuntarily crackled around her.

"No, this doesn't sound like a human roar!" Jess's eyes widened as he stared intently at the churning yellow poisonous mist.

Suddenly, a massive tree trunk emerged from the middle of the poisonous fog, and at the end of the trunk was a gaping maw big enough to swallow an elephant!

The tree trunk stood nearly a hundred meters tall, its huge mouth waving back and forth as if it were about to bite the rooftop, which scared Sasha and Jess so much that they fell to the ground.

"Is this... the original man-eating tree?"

After the great outbreak, nourished by fertile soil and abundant prey, the seedling that was less than a meter tall has now grown into a behemoth a hundred meters tall.

Sasha and Jess were startled, but upon closer inspection, they saw that the "neck" beneath the cannibalistic mouth was being held tightly by someone!

"It's Zhang Lang!"

Sasha and Jess shouted excitedly, only to see Zhang Lang tightly hugging the Primordial Tree King, kicking his feet into the air!

boom!

As if stepping onto solid ground, Zhang Lang and the Primordial Tree King suddenly rose more than ten meters, accompanied by the sounds of branches breaking and the earth churning from beneath the yellow poisonous fog!

"Again!"

boom!

Another surge!

This time, the Primordial Tree King was pulled up dozens of meters higher, along with its branches and roots. The dense root system, like a gigantic net, dragged the surrounding ordinary man-eating trees off the ground as well!

boom!

Another jump!

Because most of the roots had already left the soil, the resistance was greatly reduced. Zhang Lang's third jump sent him soaring hundreds of meters upwards, uprooting the entire cannibalistic forest!

Beneath the massive ancestral tree king, a vast root system spanning tens of thousands of square meters was visible, covered with soil and ordinary man-eating trees, resembling a gigantic rag hanging high in the sky—a truly magnificent sight!

"Sasha, get out of the way!"

Jess grabbed Sasha and ran back.

As the massive tree root flew through the air, it scattered large amounts of soil, covering streets within a radius of several kilometers. Naturally, the building where Jess and Sasha were located was not spared either.

The moment the two stepped into the elevator, it was as if a mud rain had started, with clods of dirt of all shapes and sizes clattering onto the rooftop. Even with the door closed, plumes of dust could be seen seeping in through the cracks.
