Chapter 651: The Bizarre Battle Between Flora and Fauna

Seeing Ange circled around the War Tree, twisting left and right to dodge its attacks, occasionally hurling Lightning Spears that struck the giant tree.

A three-meter-long Lightning Spear, compared to a thousand-meter-tall, five-hundred-meter-thick giant tree, was like a needle prick with every hit—painful or not aside, it didn't deal real damage; what was more troublesome was the scorched, smoking impact point.

The War Tree had no choice but to divert part of its attention to extinguish the flames, then new bark sprouted from the charred areas, toughened, and soon it was completely restored.

It was just a bit annoying, like those woodpeckers from its childhood—sick or not, they had to peck you full of holes; once it grew a little bigger and could secrete tree sap, those annoying woodpeckers were never seen again.

The War Treant began secreting sap, coating its trunk; when Lightning Spears stabbed in, they no longer sparked fires.

But in the void, it wasn't very agile—besides throwing fruits, it could only use void root tendrils to thrust, but Seeing Ange dodged them all.

However, that didn't matter—the War Treant's fruit-throwing was quite skillful, filling Seeing Ange's movement trajectory along the way, gradually compressing his movement space; once a little stuck on...

Just as it thought this, it saw Seeing Ange sweep past the fruit glue, reach out and grab a big handful, then shove it forward; by the time he pulled his hand back out, the fruit glue had already disappeared.

The rest of the fruit glue showed no reaction at all—originally it should have triggered a chain reaction, with all the fruit glue gathering toward the moving portion.

Once it touched even a tiny bit, the rest would wrap around from all directions until the target was wrapped and couldn't move at all, so the other fruit glue wouldn't come over.

Relying on this trait, its explosive fruits had ambushed quite a few enemies; now the fruit glue showed no reaction at all—only two possibilities: the fruit glue had been teleported to another space, or the fruit glue had lost its effect.

If it were another enemy, the War Treant wouldn't suspect the fruit glue had lost its effect, but glancing at the God of Life in the distance, it felt the possibility of the fruit glue losing its effect was greater.

Amid this doubt and tug-of-war, the War Treant gradually sensed something was off—why did it feel a bit weak?

The War Treant still wanted to check its body condition when the enemy suddenly hurled another Lightning Spear, heading straight for the black crystal on its head.

The War Treant instinctively blocked, still a bit puzzled—why was this Lightning Spear so slow? But its attention was drawn back anyway.

By the time it felt so weak that it could sense the situation without focusing, a large number of bugs had already spread to every part of its trunk.

When Seeing Ange touched the War Treant, he had already stuffed Mattis's bug eggs into its body—this Bug God that once parasitized the God of Life had eggs with a natural strategy against treants: first spray bug mist to corrode the wood, then gnaw away; the whole process was silent, and by the time it was discovered, many areas already had lesions.

This was a method that left even the God of Life helpless; in the end, it relied on Seeing Ange burning down the original Tree of Life, burning the bugs along with it, then using bug-ash liquid to save 【the God of Life】.

But the God of Life being helpless didn't mean the War Tree was also helpless—the War Treant got a huge fright, immediately frantically secreting sap inside its body, trying to stick all the bugs; even if it couldn't stick them, it would block all the bugs' paths.

But this way, it couldn't attend to Seeing Ange; but on second thought, the bugs inside were more deadly—the flying bug outside had been jabbing it with electric needles for half a day, yet nothing happened.

Covering the black crystal at the top, the War Tree shifted its attention back inside its body and found those bugs were already gnawing at the sap it secreted; gnaw gnaw gnaw, unable to digest it—puff puff puff—the bugs burst into puddles of round beads.

If it were one or two spots, the War Tree could just claw them out; but now the bugs had spread all over its body—unless it also had a Seeing Ange to burn it and resurrect it, it could only think of another way.

However, before it could think of a better method, those round beads burst from the bugs actually moved—the big puddle of round beads burst from one bug were all eggs, and they hatched in an extremely short time.

The newly hatched bugs gnawed off the egg shells, then pounced on the sap, gnawing madly.

Just as the giant tree thought these new bugs would be burst by the sap, the bugs actually grew a bit bigger, and also excreted hard pellets of indigestible matter.

The War Tree felt danger for the first time, frantically secreting new sap.

The new bugs finished gnawing the old sap, grew bigger and bigger, then gnawed the new sap; but shortly after eating it into their bellies, the bugs suddenly flipped onto their backs, bellies up, and died.

Then the corpses burst open into puddles of round beads.

Now the War Tree knew these round beads were bug eggs, and hurriedly secreted sap to try to cover these round beads; however, just as it covered here, bugs elsewhere immediately sensed it—some still-living bugs pounced onto the bug eggs, using their own bodies to protect the eggs.

The new bug eggs burst from bugs that ate the new sap successfully hatched, continuing to gnaw everything they could see; thus a battle between bugs and plants unfolded through this bizarre method.

The War Tree constantly tried methods to exterminate the bugs, while the bugs, through rapid evolution, continuously survived, grew, expanded, and resisted the giant tree's extermination.

Both contestants had their own advantages and disadvantages—the War Tree's advantage was its powerful strength; it was a Void-level War Tree, even the God of Life couldn't beat it, requiring Seeing Ange to step in.

And it didn't know how many years it had lived, how much it had inherited from the God of Life's parent tree—in any case, it had quite a few methods.

But the disadvantage was also obvious—the bugs had already spread throughout its body, so many methods it couldn't use, and could only rely on endless sap and toxins.

As for the bugs' side, the giant tree's advantage was its disadvantage, and the giant tree's disadvantage was its advantage—normally, the evolution and hatching of bug eggs wouldn't be this fast, but in the void, Seeing Ange had long ago stepped a footprint on a piece of rubble.

Judging by the current situation, the giant tree couldn't eliminate the bugs for now, and the bugs couldn't deal fatal damage for now either—they were in a stalemate; unfortunately, the giant tree didn't have much time left, because besides the bugs, Seeing Ange was also waiting for an opportunity.

Just as the giant tree was wholeheartedly exterminating the bugs, it suddenly felt something rumbling into its body, charging wildly, quickly carving crisscrossing tunnels through its trunk.

These tunnels were all opened at the place where the black crystal was embedded at its top, weaving into a 'net', cutting off the section where the black crystal was; before the giant tree could react, it shoved it flying away.

The black crystal, along with the large chunk of wood embedding it, broke off from the giant tree's trunk and drifted into the distant void.

The giant tree let out an angry rustling sound, its arms flailing wildly, trying to scoop the black crystal back.

But at this moment Seeing Ange revealed his true strength, punching the giant tree's hands one fist after another, a golden giant dragon phantom rising behind his back.
