The soul penetrates Xiaozhi and destroys Gou Hao at the beginning

outside.

Seeing its father, Sarude, being thrown into the air, the strongest Sarude rushed after it, displaying remarkable agility.

Although the robot was enormous, it was also rather cumbersome; its massive arm failed to hit it several times.

Although they weren't hit, they were still in a very passive position and could only dodge.

At this moment, Abba Zarude stood up again and once more swung out, binding the waist of the strongest Zarude and helping it dodge the robot's attack.

This allows the strongest Zarude to focus all its energy on attacking, while its father Zarude takes care of dodging.

After dodging multiple attacks, Abba Sarude swung his fist, sending the strongest Sarude soaring into the sky.

The strongest Zarude descended from the sky, using the force of gravity to deliver a powerful punch to the robot.

Unfortunately, flesh and blood are ultimately no match for a torrent of steel.

The strongest Zarude's all-out punch failed to leave even a dent on the robot; instead, it clutched its hand in pain.

But it didn't give up; it used its other hand to whip out a vine, binding one of the robot's hands.

Abba Sarud seized the opportunity to gather grass-based energy, and a green energy ball burst forth.

Although Coco was easily flung away by the robot's other hand, the gap that widened in the pincers in an instant allowed her to escape.

Coco escaped successfully, which is a good thing, but it also means that robots can now fight with their hands.

It then lashed out with its vine whip, slamming the strongest Zarude to the ground.

"Are you alright?" Abba Sarud asked worriedly.

"Can't die."

“This is bad,” Abba Sarud said through gritted teeth.

It was perfectly clear that it and the strongest Zarude were already the two strongest members of the entire Zarude tribe in this forest.

There were almost no Pokémon stronger than those two in the entire forest.

If this continues, the Divine Tree and the Spring of Healing may truly be lost.

Even the entire Okoya Forest might be reduced to ashes.

Not to mention the miserable fate of the wild Pokémon living in this forest.

After Coco escaped, the first thing she did was run to her father, Sarud, and ask him with concern,

"Dad, are you okay?"

Why did you come back?

Father Sarud thought that Coco had left the forest after their falling out, which was why he fought alongside the strongest Sarud without any ties to protect their home.

But it didn't realize that Coco hadn't actually left.

After confirming that her father, Zarude, was not in immediate danger, Coco immediately stood up, faced Jedo and the robot, spread her arms, and stood between the robot and her father, Zarude, shouting loudly,

"You're not allowed to touch my dad."

"You brat, you've been causing me trouble all this time," Jedo said angrily.

"Could it be that the Pokémon raised Al?" Jialian wondered from inside the car.

"Doctor, should we continue?" the robot pilot asked.

"Ignore them and keep going. They're just one or two Pokémon. They'll know it's dangerous and run away," Jedo said.

"Yes."

"You two should leave quickly."

"and many more."

After the strongest Zarude finished speaking, it charged towards the robot. Abba Zarude tried to stop it, but it was too late.

The strongest Zarude once again lashed out with its vine whip, entangling the robot. Just as it was about to attack, the robot punched it to the ground, and then followed up with its other hand, striking down on the strongest Zarude before it could dodge.

Just as it was about to be smashed into a pulp, Coco untied the vines wrapped around her wrist, tied them into a lasso, and swung it out to bind the waist of the strongest Sarud, pulling it back at the last second, a close call that ended without serious injury.

The strongest Zarude immediately gave Coco a grateful look, then spat out a seed machine gun from its mouth for cover.

The seed machine gun couldn't hurt the robot at all, but it stirred up a cloud of dust.

When Jedo opened his eyes, Coco and the two Zarude were gone.

Jedo was actually quite happy about the peace and quiet, because his goal today was the sacred tree and the healing spring, not to deal with these Zarude. It was these Zarude who had come out to interfere with him.

Now that the people who were interfering are gone, it's time to continue investigating the Divine Tree and the Spring of Healing.

“Looking at it up close, it’s truly full of life,” Jialian remarked.

“This scene is absolutely beautiful,” Jedo said, his arms outstretched and his eyes fixed on the giant tree with intense fervor.

"Doctor, those Pokémon were over there just now," one of the researchers said, pointing to the large group of small black dots on the giant tree not far away.

“That must be their home,” Jialian guessed.

Meanwhile, the two researchers that Jedo had sent to collect water samples by the river also returned.

From the very beginning, they set up various equipment, inserted pipes into the river, and frantically extracted spring water samples.

The overflowing spring water meandered along the trampled mud, mixed with the black stains of leaking oil from the machines.

“Doctor, it’s exactly the same as the sample,” one of the researchers reported.

"Great, the specific location data will be available soon," Jialian said.

"Scan that giant tree first," Jedo instructed.

"Ok."

Jialian responded and began operating the machine, but the data displayed on the monitor made her gasp in surprise.

"What's going on? I detected powerful energy inside the giant tree!" Jialian exclaimed.

"That is the true source of healing power! Drive the anchor into that giant tree."

Upon hearing this, Jedo was extremely excited and immediately turned around to give instructions to the robot pilot.

"Do we really have to do this?" the robot pilot asked hesitantly.

"Stop dawdling," Jedo snapped.

"clear."

Under pressure from Jedo, the robot pilot dared not disobey and had no choice but to begin operating the robot.

"How could you do this? Please wait a moment."

Jialian tried to stop her, but it was too late.

The massive anchor had already been launched by the robot's robotic arm, striking the divine tree squarely and smashing a large hole into its broad trunk.

The emerald green leaves and pure white petals fell like rain from the trees onto the ground that had been compacted by the robot's tracks.
