Chapter 381

Tree of Life - Slareed Mode

The K-UYT orbit emitted a severe alarm, and the information about the destruction of Node 015's energy node was directly displayed on the Border Army's central control station. With Node 015 as the core point, a wide range of energy reactions overlapped with pollution reactions. A bunch of error reports appeared in front of the console.

Luo Xu cursed softly, his eyes fixed on all the situations before him. "Switch nearby image information immediately. I need the clearest impact. Adjust the system of Node 031 and move the warship straight ahead—"

Border Army soldiers quickly manipulated the corresponding system, locking onto the nearest system amidst layers of errors. The swiftly moving background warship flew to the area above Nodes 001-030, and the main view focused on the situation of Node 015's energy node. Through the periscope, they gradually zoomed in, amidst countless pollutants, they saw the monster anchored in Node 015's energy point.

The monster had a shape similar to a tree, with a single eye, but its body was covered in scales resembling fish scales. Branch-like branches grew on its body, oozing viscous liquid. At this moment, this liquid spread across the orbit, gradually presenting a solid petrified state, as if claiming the entire orbit as its own.

Special pollutants were absorbing the energy of Node 015. As the energy inside Node 015 decreased significantly, its entire body began to expand proportionally, and the core point swelled like a ball.

"It's a life tree," a Border Army soldier shouted. "General Luo, a life tree has infiltrated."

The life tree, a special S-class dual-attribute pollutant, had one ability to store energy and another ability to petrify deep water.

The petrification of the life tree spread extensively. These things lurked completely among the numerous pollutants on the orbit, mixed with the energy signals of various pollutants. It was difficult for the Border Army to detect these pollutants early from the chaotic magnetic field.

"The deep water petrification of the life tree has covered four energy nodes!"

"The petrification speed is increasing. Three nodes on the orbit have been paralyzed!"

A Border Army officer shouted, "Cut off, cut off the nodes it covers immediately."

The things covered by the life tree's deep water would have their basic functions destroyed, ultimately becoming its nutrients. When it finished consuming, these orbits would permanently become debris or rocks. At this point, they could only abandon these nodes; otherwise, it would only give the life tree roots a chance to invade.

The Border Army immediately remotely severed the orbit. The orbits covered by it were manually disconnected from the edge orbits of Nodes 001-030, and as they were severed, the deep water previously spreading out lost its anchor point and dripped into space along the severed orbit.

When the people of the Dawn felt the ground shaking, they suddenly saw a flash not far away. The orbit of Node 030 was suddenly severed diagonally below them. Their location seemed to experience a violent tremor, and everyone hurriedly took cover in two tank shields.

When Huo Yan's shield was climbed by the deep water, he immediately cut off the signal. The deep water attached to his shield was thrown off. "This water is problematic. Don't touch it."

All mecha units could only use thrusters in a gravity environment to suspend the mecha off the ground.

The eyes of Ying Chenlin fell on the distant position of the orbit. he saw that not only their Node 017's energy node was about to be severed from the orbit's supply, but also a sudden situation occurred, forcing the Border Army to completely cut off most of the orbit to preserve the remaining K-UYT orbit system.
