This is Swallowed Star, not Resident Evil.

Chapter 43 The Spirit of Plants and Trees, Red Fragments

Devouring the world.

May 11, 2019 AD, early morning.

Ye Yang is practicing his boxing techniques.

Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes, and with a sudden impulse, threw a punch along a peculiar trajectory...

boom!

Like a volcanic eruption, the violent force and high temperature instantly swept away the lawn in front, turning thousands of square meters of grass into a scorched black.

At the same time, a huge fist-shaped imprint appeared on the ground in front of them, and even the sand and gravel at the center of the imprint showed signs of melting.

"It's been almost a year. After devouring the world, I've finally crossed the threshold of the fundamental law of fire!"

Ye Yang smiled.

In July 2018, he assembled a group of experts from various fields to help him participate in a "simulated strategy competition".

It lasted exactly 7 months.

Therefore, after he returned from the Star Alliance after the New Year, the time he devoured the world was February 2019.

Ye Yang had already integrated a trace of the "Endless Fire" law from the Immortal Alliance world into the embryonic form of his true meaning.

So for the past 10 months, he has been trying to comprehend the fundamental law of fire that devours the world by using the guidance of the nascent form of true meaning.

Today, we finally succeeded!

"Not enough!"

"Having obtained the inheritance of Meteorite Star and entered the universe, I can grow even faster and more rapidly!"

Ye Yang closed his eyes.

He needs to thoroughly familiarize himself with this fundamental law of fire before making a trip to Australia.

This time, he's determined to dig Babata out!

……

Australia.

Ye Yang looked at the misty lake before him and stroked his chin:

"There wasn't any fog here last time I came. Something's strange."

With that, it flew toward the island in the center of the lake.

However, halfway there, an aquatic monster attacked from the lake!

"Um?"

Ye Yang narrowed his eyes and immediately pierced down with his mental energy. The monster below then began to twist and struggle wildly before quickly stopping.

died.

"There seem to be quite a few Lord-level monsters around? They weren't here last time. How long has it been? Two and a half years?"

"Also, this lake, while not small, isn't exactly huge either. How does it support so many powerful monsters?"

"Something is definitely strange."

He flew all the way to the island in the middle of the lake, and any monsters that dared to attack him during that time could not survive more than three seconds in front of Ye Yang.

Upon landing on the island in the middle of the lake, instead of the various land and bird monsters that one might expect, there was only tranquility.

This situation...

"Looks like I've finally found the right place," Ye Yang thought to himself, growing increasingly excited.

After the investigation in Australia last time, he has narrowed down the target area to three locations.

The first location they came to investigate was the crash site of the Meteorite Star spaceship!

He ventured into the misty island to explore and discovered many plants that were mutating.

However, compared to the mutated monsters outside, these mutated plants grow much slower.

The strongest willow tree has only mutated to have branches that can twist and move, but its strength is only equivalent to that of a first-level apprentice, and its toughness can at most withstand the slashes of a second-level apprentice.

Ye Yang didn't care much about these future plant spirits; they were all cultivated by Babata using a small amount of Wood Spirit Crystals.

The underground Meteorite Starship also holds a true treasure!

These mutated plants are completely useless to Ye Yang.

But Ye Yang still pretended to be very interested and wandered around the misty island.

result……

call out!

A huge, purplish-black vine suddenly appeared and lashed out at Ye Yang, but Ye Yang had already sensed its powerful life energy from afar, so he threw a punch back.

Since he wanted to demonstrate his abilities, this punch naturally carried a trace of the fundamental law of fire that Ye Yang had comprehended.

So the purplish-black vine was instantly blasted apart and turned to ashes.

The pervasive mist was instantly cleared out, creating an area of ​​over a hundred meters, revealing several other purplish-black vines.

"Purple-black... Could it be the Cloud-Moving Vine recorded in extraterrestrial ruins?!"

Ye Yang feigned surprise, then flew into the air and caught another vine that was lashing out at him.

"The power is good, but not enough."

As Ye Yang gripped the Cloud Vine tightly, the mist began to surge and churn wildly, with vines extending out to attack him.

Each one is over two kilometers long.

"Sixteen roots! It really is a Moyun Vine!"

Ye Yang's eyes lit up, and he quickly released his Flame Domain, then grabbed the vines of the Cloud Vine and approached its core.

……

Inside the Meteorite Star spaceship, 15600 meters underground in the rock layer, Babata was screaming and yelling like a madman:

"What was that?! What was that just now?!"

"A planetary-level being who has just crossed the threshold of the fundamental laws of fire! Only a planetary-level being!"

"Waaaaah~" The black-robed child shed a few tears: "I've finally waited for this day. This kid is definitely qualified to inherit my master's legacy, and has a very high chance of breaking through to immortality..."

He immediately looked at the pile of wooden crystals at the spaceship entrance: "We need to lure this kid into the underground space. Then, as long as we guide him to retrieve that fragment, we can guide him to discover the spaceship."

The black-robed child's expression turned serious, and he wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes: "I haven't interacted with anyone for fifty thousand years, and my emotions have become a little out of control."

"I am Lord Babata, the demon who roams the universe! I have to maintain my image in front of that brat."

……

More than twenty minutes later...

The Moyun Vine had completely submitted to Ye Yang, looking utterly defeated.

Ye Yang has also received 2000 Fate Points.

Just then, a large number of bubbles suddenly appeared in the waters outside Kirishima, and a fragrance like that of rice wafted out.

Ye Yang only needed to smell a trace of this scent to feel his body cells instinctively sending out hunger signals.

Turning my head, I saw a mysterious white crystal that had appeared on the surface of the water, which was bubbling with bubbles, emitting an alluring aura.

"Kisa Akira?!"

Ye Yang was shocked, then excited. He ignored the Cloud Vine beneath his feet and flew directly to the water's surface to collect the Wood Crystal.

But the water was still bubbling, and the gas rising from the water had a faint smell of rice.

"Could it be... there are even more Muya Crystals below?!"

Ye Yang immediately dived underwater and discovered a collapsed hole at the bottom of the water, with an undercurrent and whirlpool. Water was pouring into the hole frantically, while a large amount of gas was also spewing out of it.

The aroma of rice comes from the gas emitted from this hole.

Ye Yang used his mental power first, plunging directly into the underwater cave.

Soon, Ye Yang found the third Wood Sprout Crystal in the underground cave.

And they were still searching, but since they couldn't smell the aroma of rice, they could only search aimlessly.

"Hmm? Maybe there are alien ruins underground..." He suddenly had an idea and started drilling down again.

Boom!

Ye Yang went deeper into another underground cave.

"The aroma of rice fills the air here too, over there..."

He had just taken a step when he felt a sharp pain in his foot. He jumped back like a startled cat, looking warily at the spot where he had just stepped.

A mental scan revealed a red metal fragment stuck in a rock.

Ye Yang used his telekinetic power to lift it up and immediately felt its immense density: "So heavy! For such a small volume, it weighs over a ton."

"This red metal appears to be a fragment of some kind of weapon; it's extremely hard... and it cuts through soil and rock with almost no resistance..."

After marveling at the power of the 'Crimson Copper Mother' fragment for a while, Ye Yang put it away and continued searching for other fragments.

At the same time, invisible, strange energy waves pierced through the thick rocks and reached Ye Yang's sea of ​​consciousness.
