Chapter 28

This terrifying aura even spread to the outside of the zoo.

However, due to the distance, the creatures outside were in a better condition. They did not have to kneel on the ground and tremble like the animals in the zoo.

The moment the aura appeared, the creatures wandering outside ran away without caring about anything else. All of them were terrified and only wanted to escape from the area.

At the same time, because of the escape of these creatures, many of the people who survived took the opportunity to escape from the edge of this small city and fled to the bigger, more prosperous, and more promising city.

In the eyes of many people in Moon City, only a big city had hope of survival. Only a big city could resist the invasion of mutated creatures!

Was that really the case?

No one knew because all communication tools had been abandoned. The people in the bordering cities could not know the actual situation of the big cities in the central region.

Nonetheless, everyone fled this place at the same time, abandoning Moon City as they headed to the unknown.

…

In the breeding area of the zoo.

The aura that terrified the animals lasted for three hours before it gradually disappeared, along with the sound of the Great Dao that surrounded the mysterious charm.

At this moment, the pain in Jiang Tie’s body began to ease. When he saw the changes in his body, it would be a lie to say that he was not shocked.

“The so-called new version’s just so-so, right?”

He could not wait to try fusing with the bloodline of the iron-eating beast. Would his strength take a big leap forward?

Jiang Tie came before an ancient tree that had not been affected by spiritual power yet. After the evolution of the ancient tree, it was as tall as a mountain peak. 15 strong men could not even hug it. The small branches were the size of two adults!

“It’s very suitable.”

He looked it up and down and finally chose this ancient tree.

This time, he did not just use his physical strength, because after he fused with the iron-eating beast’s bloodline, he felt that not only had his physical strength doubled, but also the spiritual Qi in his body had changed the most.

The originally thin spiritual Qi had become very vigorous, and his spirit sea had become more than twice as strong. This was an effect that the spiritual fruit could not compare to.

This time, Jiang Tie wanted to test the power of the spiritual essence.

If he could succeed, then he would have one more trump card. This was extremely important in a fight and it was a matter of winning or losing!

Jiang Tie focused his mind and began to condense the disorderly spiritual essence that was running around in his body. First, he condensed it into a small ball, then, into a miniature flood dragon.

“Ha!”

He tried to force the spiritual energy of the flood dragon out of his body. Because of his powerful mental strength, it was easily done. Wisps of white spiritual energy wrapped around his paw, jumping slightly on the surface.

Jiang Tie looked at his paw that was beginning to disappear under the spiritual energy. It was inexplicably mysterious.

He relaxed his paw and stretched out a finger, gradually approaching the huge trunk of the ancient tree. He did not use his physical strength to push down the ancient tree, but instead, he used the spiritual energy that was jumping on his fingertip.

When he was only an inch away from the trunk, he stopped moving forward and shouted coldly to force the spiritual energy out of his fingertip, completely separating it from the skin on his body.

Then, the spiritual energy flew toward the ancient tree, and with a crisp sound, the bark of the tree started chipping away. The tree trunk, which was as solid as a rock, was easily penetrated by the spiritual energy, and a big, charred hole appeared in the middle of the ancient tree.

The ancient tree was charred black and smelled burnt. The trunk was pierced through out of nowhere. Any animal would find it difficult to do it, regardless if they were using spiritual energy or fire attributes.

However, Jiang Tie was not very satisfied. He muttered, “That’s all? A peacock can do that!”

Fortunately, the peacock did not hear him. Otherwise, he would have questioned his own life. He had obtained a fire ability. How could it compare to spiritual energy!

The two were not the same thing at all. They were not even of the same attribute!

Logically speaking, it was already very rare for spiritual energy to be able to do this.

However, Jiang Tie was not satisfied. He believed that after fusing with the bloodline of the iron-eating beast, he should be even stronger!

Now, however…? He could not help but wonder if this was all because of him?

Or was his expectations too high?

Just as he was deep in thought, the ancient tree in front of him began to vibrate slightly. The frequency of its vibration gradually increased, and sounds were emerging from within.

Kacha, kacha, kacha.

The sound came from inside the ancient tree and gradually spread upward. Jiang Tie raised his head in astonishment and found that cracks had appeared on the thick trunk of the ancient tree, spreading upward.

He seemed to have sensed something, and then he ran away!

Almost at the same time, there was a loud explosion. The ancient tree, from its trunk to its twigs and branches, exploded one by one. Even before the leaves fell to the ground, they were turned into powder in an instant!

The ancient tree exploded and turned into brown powder which scattered into the sky like rain.

Jiang Tie ran for hundreds of meters before he stopped. At this moment, his expression softened.

He turned his head to look at the ancient tree. There was no trace of the ancient tree there. There was only a big black hole that recorded the history of the ancient tree that once existed here.

“So it’s not that the destructive power of the spiritual energy isn’t strong, but that the ancient tree’s too big. There’s only a small wisp of spiritual energy so it took some time to completely destroy the ancient tree.”

When Jiang Tie was running away, he vaguely saw the spiritual energy running around inside the ancient tree. No, it was his spiritual power that sensed it first. That was why he was able to quickly leave the area before the ancient tree exploded.

“Not bad, not bad. Spiritual energy’s undoubtedly the best attack weapon. That king of beasts will die if he encounters the spiritual energy!”

He then waved around the ancient tree to test the strength of his body. Bursts of explosive sounds were heard. This time, the sound was extremely loud and was accurately transmitted to the White Tiger and the others.

It was the first time the hippo heard something that he did not understand. This kind of explosive sound was not often heard. He could not tell what was causing the explosion at all.

However, the White Tiger and the rest were extremely familiar with it. After all, they had just seen and heard it with their own eyes not too long ago. It had long entered their hearts.

They had just recovered from the abnormal phenomenon. Now that they heard the thunderous explosion again, their faces gradually turned pale.

They gulped at the same time. Their Boss seemed to have broken through and become stronger again. From the abnormal phenomenon to the explosion, the shock in their hearts could no longer be described with words.

The hippo glanced at them and was very puzzled. Although the sound was very strange and it sounded very destructive, there was no need to be so shocked!

The anomaly just now was truly terrifying!

In addition, from the direction where the anomaly appeared, there was a high chance that it was caused by a panda!

That was truly terrifying!

When the White Tiger explained to him the source of the explosion and how it was produced, the thoughts in his heart disappeared one by one!

The hippo came to a sudden realization and felt a lingering fear in his heart. Fortunately, the panda did not use his true punch, otherwise, he would not be standing here unscathed.

The panda was too powerful. No wonder the Black Panther died so quickly.

After a long time, the hippo finally said something.

“Boss is really powerful!”
