"What exactly is this thing...?" Chi Zigao murmured, his throat dry.

Chen Yang remained silent, his gaze fixed on the scene before him.

The Tombstone Devourer Tree continuously lashed out its vines, the black tendrils winding and locking the two-headed giant peacock firmly in place.

The three of them slowly retreated, trying not to make any noise.

At this moment, another strange aura rolled in from the depths of the fog.

After Chen Yang saw it clearly, a look of surprise and horror flashed in his eyes.

A figure burst forth from the pinkish-purple mist.

It was a bizarre creature of enormous size; at least in human knowledge, no creature of that appearance exists.

Its body is several meters long, covered with a thick purple carapace, covered with sharp spikes, and faintly gleaming with a twisted purple luster.

Its limbs moved wildly across the ground, like a cheetah.

Its head was huge and ferocious, and the sharp fangs inside its mouth were like rows of gleaming white knives. With each slight opening and closing of its mouth, a foul stench filled the air.

And at its tail, there was a sharp barb like a spear, faintly gleaming with a cold, poisonous light.

"Void Burrower Beast... Rek'Sai!"

Chen Yang's mind jolted; he couldn't be mistaken.

Although Rex has changed a lot from how he remembered him.

But he was certain that this was the plant he had once lost in this forest.

After some time, Rek'Sai now looks more like a Void creature.

Its massive form stopped at the edge of the clearing, its sharp claws digging deep into the soil, its deep purple pupils flashing with a brutal light as it stared intently at the Tombstone Devourer Tree.

The roar was deep and cold, carrying the declaration of a predator.

That two-headed, large-mouthed flower is its prey!

Rek'Sai's eyes were filled with rage, and her deep purple mouthparts opened slightly, revealing her fangs.

But the Tombstone Devourer Tree in the center of the open space clearly has no intention of letting go easily.

It is a long-established sixth-tier plant in this forest, and has been entrenched there for so many years that few other creatures dare to snatch it from their jaws.

Moreover, it has accumulated so much energy over the years and recently felt a faint sense of breaking through to the seventh rank, so it's impossible for it to give up this feast that's been delivered to its doorstep.

This four-clawed beast, which had only recently advanced to the sixth rank, was not yet qualified to compete with it for prey.

The tombstone devourers hanging on the branches were still tightly gripping the remains of the two-headed giant mouth flower, their black vines swirling and slowly absorbing the last bit of energy from the fourth-tier plant into its trunk.

On the tree trunk, dark red lines flowed and shimmered.

The branches trembled slightly.

With a creaking sound, the hanging devourers simultaneously turned around and slightly opened their mouths, as if warning Rek'Sai.

"These two monsters...aren't they going to start fighting?"

Huangfu Qinghe murmured softly, cold sweat trickling down his forehead.

This tombstone tree, perched on the open ground, has clearly been growing here for many years, and the aura it exudes is far superior to that of Rek'Sai.

But Rex did not back down.

Void creatures never tolerate their prey being taken away by others.

It slowly approached, its claws digging at the ground, the spikes on its carapace slightly raised, exuding a chilling killing intent.

"They're about to make their move."

Chen Yang whispered a reminder, his eyes narrowed as he stared intently at the confrontation between the two enormous creatures.

Rek'Sai did not attack rashly. It began to slowly roam along the edge of the clearing, its eyes flashing with purple light, as if searching for the Tombstone Tree's weakness.

The tombstone tree also slightly restrained its scattered vines, its branches contracting, like a giant beast, vigilantly waiting for intruders to approach.

The entire open space fell into a deathly silence.

The only sounds were the rustling of Rex's claws digging through the soil and the occasional "thud" of the Tombstone Devourer's vines twitching.

The air seemed to freeze into an invisible sheet of ice, teeming with murderous intent.

Huangfu Qinghe held his breath and slowly shrank back: "Don't make a sound, don't move, we can't let them find us."

Chi Zigao's face was deathly pale, sweat dripped from his forehead onto the soil, and he barely dared to raise his head.

The standoff between the two sixth-tier creatures is on the verge of erupting.

The purple mist, like a large net, firmly trapped this open space within it.

Chen Yang and the other two huddled tightly behind the tree, their breathing extremely restrained, barely daring to make a sound.

However, Chen Yang's gaze grew increasingly calm, and a certain idea was gradually taking shape in his mind.

He whispered, "We'll make our move."

"Make a move?" Chi Zigao almost shouted out loud. His eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Chen Yang.

"Are you crazy? Those are two level-six monsters! We should go around them and sneak away from here!"

“I know this might be a bit crazy, but there’s no time to explain now… As long as that beast-like guy wins, we’ll live.”

Chen Yang's voice was calm and firm, his gaze fixed on the open space, his tone revealing a hint of determination.

"Trust me, if we succeed, we'll be able to get out of this forest safely."

"How do we do it?" Huangfu Qinghe asked, frowning.

“Attack that tree to create some opportunities for the beast to attack.” Chen Yang raised his head, his gaze sharp as a knife.

Chi Zigao's face turned pale and then red. He gritted his teeth and whispered, "You dare to gamble? What if that monster sees us as prey too?"

"You saw it too, it's a monster. Maybe we can still leave if it dies, at least this tree can't be moved!"

"No, it won't happen." Chen Yang glanced at Chi Zi Gao, his tone revealing an undeniable certainty.

Huangfu Qinghe was silent for a moment, but finally nodded.

"Let's do it."

Chi Zigao clenched his fists and took a deep breath: "Damn it, you're all crazy, so I'll go all out too! Let's do it!"

"Get ready!" Chen Yang's eyes sharpened as he swiftly gave the order.

The three leaned against a tree and quickly set things up.

Golden light gathered at Huangfu Qinghe's fingertips.

A giant sunflower appeared beside him, its petals unfurling and trembling slightly, from which a dazzling golden light began to brew.

"Sunflower, skill—Radiant Sun!"

At the same time, Chi Zi Gao also summoned the Destruction Mushroom Archer from his bracelet.

"Destroyer Mushroom Shooter, prepare for missile bombardment!"

Yumi's figure also rose into the sky.

"Yumi, grimoire light wave!"

With Chen Yang's command, three attacks erupted simultaneously.
