Chapter 1195 -490: Something Strange _2

Wang Tao also didn’t dare to be careless; he mobilized his spiritual power like a human radar, meticulously searching alongside Lightning…

It didn’t take long before Lightning found a Level 5, Lord.

[HP: 306783/400000]

[Mana: 153895/200000]

[Level: Level 5, Lord]

[Awakening: Savage Growth]

[Savage Growth: Rapid growth in a short period of time]

This Level 5 Lord was a Mutated Banyan, but it was not at full health… This situation made it quite obvious; most likely, the Sixth Legion had encountered it and battled with it!

There were indeed some traces of a fight in the surroundings, but no bodies or abandoned weapons…

It was unknown whether Cheng Yiyi and the others had all escaped or had been eaten by this Mutated Banyan.

Wang Tao felt that they must have escaped; if they had been eaten, Wang Tao didn’t believe these mutated plants could have swallowed the powered armor whole…

Wang Tao really wanted to take care of this Mutated Banyan, but he wasn’t sure if there was only one Level 5, Lord here. If there were other Level 5 Lords, his fighting might endanger the people of the Sixth Legion. It was better to wait a bit longer and find the people first…

As usual, relying on Lightning’s nose to smell, half an hour later, Lightning gently barked in one direction.

“The scent is in there?” Looking at the entrance formed by banyans, Wang Tao immediately beckoned, “Let’s go inside!”

The cave within the tree was very dark, the density of the dark mist comparable to the second level. However, this naturally didn’t affect Wang Tao; he cautiously made his way, quickly spotting some figures.

“They are indeed here!”

Wang Tao walked straight toward them.

…

Not far away, a large group of soldiers was huddled together, all of them slightly injured, but their spirits appeared to be relatively good.

“This the Devastation.”

That is a sarcastic sound coming from one soldier.

He knew it was not a good time to say this, but he really couldn’t help it. Without some hope, he feared he might break down.

“Everyone rest assured, we will return safely! Once I have regained my strength, I will lead you all out! I remember the way, it will be fine!”

The Deputy Legion Commander of the Sixth Legion, Lin Kaiyang, spoke with conviction.

Seeing Lin Kaiyang’s unwavering faith, the morale of the others significantly boosted.

“Unfortunately, Commandant Pei and Commander Cheng…”

At that moment, another soldier sighed.

Hearing this, the soldiers instantly quieted down; a sorrowful atmosphere emerged among them.

“What happened to Commander Cheng?”

Suddenly, a deep voice seemed to ring out next to everyone’s ears. Everyone was taken aback.

“Who is it?”

All the soldiers picked up their weapons and flashlights, warily watching the darkness.

Lin Kaiyang also immediately grabbed his Crystal Energy Gun; his expression was a mix of panic and relief.

He tentatively called out:

“Consultant Wang? Is that you?”

Rustle—

From within the darkness, a tall figure and a dog slowly appeared before everyone.

“It really is Consultant Wang!”

Seeing that it indeed was Wang Tao, Lin Kaiyang sighed in relief. The other soldiers also relaxed.

They naturally recognized Wang Tao, the consultant, but they hadn’t had much interaction with him, so they weren’t familiar with his voice.

Wang Tao walked over, frowning at Lin Kaiyang:

“What were you saying about Yiyi?”

“Commander Cheng…”

Lin Kaiyang’s eyes instantly reddened, and the other soldiers lowered their heads.

“She, she was eaten by that Level 5 Monster Lord! Deputy Legion Commander Pei also sacrificed…”

Lin Kaiyang said in a low voice.

“…”

Wang Tao had had a bad feeling when he first heard their words, but hearing the actual results, he still found it hard to believe. The people who had just been fighting alongside him, were they really gone?

He had a good relationship with Cheng Yiyi, they were good friends, and his willingness to take on the title of consultant in the Sixth Legion was because of Cheng Yiyi… but Cheng Yiyi had died.

It was somewhat hard for Wang Tao to accept, but having lived in the apocalypse for so long, he was accustomed to death and managed not to lose his composure.

“What exactly happened?”

“It was like this. Not long after we separated from you, Deputy Legion Commander Pei mentioned that someone told him about a location with a Level 4 Lord. The location was here. So, we came, and found out it wasn’t a Level 4 Lord, but a Level 5 Lord! The Lord was very strong, we couldn’t defeat it at all. Commander Cheng and Deputy Legion Commander Pei stayed behind to cover our escape… I saw with my own eyes, the monster tore apart Deputy Legion Commander Pei’s powered armor and then pulled Commander Cheng out of his powered armor and ate him…”

Lin Kaiyang explained painfully while covering his face.

The soldiers were all silently sobbing.

Hearing this, Wang Tao’s heart sank. He then asked:

“What kind of monster was it?”

“It was a huge banyan tree…”

“Did you encounter any other monsters afterward?”

“No, we only encountered that one Level 5 Lord…”

It seemed that the mutated banyan Wang Tao had just seen was probably the one Cheng Yiyi and the others had encountered.

Wang Tao felt an urge to rush over and slay the mutated banyan right away.

However, he quickly suppressed his emotions and instead observed the condition of Lin Kaiyang and his group.

There were only three relatively intact powered armors here, and no other powered armors, and Wang Tao had observed the surroundings of the mutation; there was no sign of any destroyed powered armors…

Could it be that the mutated banyan had eaten the powered armors?

Or perhaps, Cheng Yiyi and her group hadn’t died and had managed to escape?

Wang Tao thought the latter was more likely.

Although Lin Kaiyang said he had seen it with his own eyes, given the thick fog in the area, it’s possible he might not have seen clearly if he was a bit far off…

“Let’s get out of here with me first.”

Wang Tao planned to first lead these people out and then come back to search and see if Cheng Yiyi was still alive. He still refused to believe that Cheng Yiyi had just died.

“Yes!”

Lin Kaiyang immediately snapped to attention with an excited salute, then hurriedly ushered everyone to follow.

After Wang Tao led them out of the banyan tree cave, he was about to retrace his steps when Lightning suddenly tugged at his clothes.

He looked down at Lightning and communicated briefly using spiritual power. Wang Tao first frowned, then his expression turned a bit odd.

“Consultant Wang, what’s the matter?”

Seeing that Wang Tao had suddenly stopped, Lin Kaiyang approached cautiously.

“It’s not right, I sensed the presence of a Level 5 Lord… a Level 5 Lord is coming our way!”

“Ah?”

Hearing that, everyone became a bit panicked, still vividly remembering their recent traumatic experience.

“The presence of this Level 5 Lord is very strong, I can’t protect you all. You go back to the tree cave, I’ll draw it away!”

Wang Tao said seriously.

“Yes!”

Lin Kaiyang didn’t hesitate, immediately leading the group back to the tree cave.

After seeing everyone had gone back, Wang Tao didn’t actually go to draw away the Level 5 Lord as he said, because there was no Level 5 Lord coming.

Lightning had just told him, after a careful distinction, that he had smelled Cheng Yiyi’s scent. Wang Tao now prepared to go find her.

The reason Wang Tao didn’t tell Lin Kaiyang and the others was because Lightning told Wang Tao that after Wang Tao appeared, someone had a moment of hostility towards him!

That was interesting. After revealing his identity, someone still harbored hostility towards him… which was obviously not normal, since Wang Tao was supposed to be one of them. Moreover, Wang Tao didn’t recognize the person Lightning mentioned.

So Wang Tao told the others to hide first while he went to look for Cheng Yiyi himself.

More than ten minutes later, Lightning led Wang Tao to the outside of a very small banyan tree cave. With a slight probe using his spiritual power, Wang Tao saw the severely wounded Cheng Yiyi inside.

At the time, Cheng Yiyi was chained with thick iron chains.

“There really is a problem!”

Wang Tao immediately went in.
