Chapter 411: Chapter 222: [Devouring Falling Star]

As for Song Fu, this great-great-uncle, Song Chi was not worried.

From his previous actions, it wasn’t hard to see that the great-great-uncle had likely come to deal with the [Star Devouring Vine] on several occasions by himself; otherwise, he wouldn’t understand it so well.

If he understood it, then he must have his own countermeasures. Otherwise, wouldn’t it mean that he had lived his five hundred years in vain?

He was different from his grandfather. Song Mingsong was hot-tempered and not the type to think things through. Moreover, he was just over two hundred years old and had less experience in handling things than an average Third Rank Torch Captain, which was why there was the accident with the Golden Armored Giant Beast.

But this great-great-uncle Song Fu was entirely different.

Having both cunning and experience, Song Chi really didn’t believe the other party wouldn’t have any preparations or fallback plans.

Just as he expected, it was unknown by what means the great-great-uncle had used, but the Cang Qiong, which had been continuously falling, suddenly began to stretch upwards again, effortlessly breaking free from the devouring gravity circle.

Song Chi was somewhat curious; clearly, the great-great-uncle must have used some special component on his ship.

But he quickly tuned back, not dwelling on it any further.

Each component was a special trump card on a Torch Warship, and Torch Captains would never easily reveal them. Thinking more about it was useless.

Accompanied by the two warships breaking free from the attack range of the giant vine, the sound of artillery fire reignited, continuously bombarding the main body of the Star Devouring Vine within the rolling dust storm ahead.

As Song Fu had said earlier, this Star Devouring Vine had not yet fully mastered the Power of Laws, so it was pitifully lacking in countermeasures. Facing the sustained attacks from two Torch Warships, the vine could only passively endure.

Thus, the two warships continued the bombardment for approximately ten hours.

In the Warship’s communication projection, Song Fu’s smile was especially rich.

“Chi, my boy, I see that vine down there hasn’t stirred for over two hours. Shall we go down and take a look?”

Although he said so, Song Fu himself did not make any moves. His near-five hundred years as a Torch Captain relied on caution, not luck.

In the projection screen, Song Chi’s eyes were solemn as he shook his head:

“No, not yet. The countless vines deep underground are still continuously providing energy for that Star Devouring Vine…”

Hearing his words, Song Fu instantly understood.

Inside the main control room of Cang Qiong, a brand new purple component [Anti-Magic Card] was activated.

Then, under Song Fu’s direction, a purple-glowing card shot out, quickly disappearing into the rolling dust storm in the distance.

Onboard the Cangqiong, just as the unknown card entered the dust in the distance, the information on the radar display of the Silver III Generation Super-wave Magical Energy Detection Radar suddenly changed.

The energy that had been flowing unceasingly from deep underground into the body of the Star Devouring Vine came to an abrupt halt, as if it was cut off from thin air.

At the same time, Song Fu’s voice came through in the communication projection again.

“I’ve used an anti-magic type component. Within an hour, this Star Devouring Vine won’t be able to draw a single bit of energy from the Floating Land below to replenish itself. Chi, my boy, intensify the attack!”

Hearing this, Song Chi, who wasn’t too optimistic before, brightened up.

Before this, he hadn’t said much, but he was very doubtful whether they could handle the Star Devouring Vine within 24 hours.

The reason was simple; space plants commonly had an unrivaled healing ability. Furthermore, the continuous energy supply from deep underground gave the Star Devouring Vine the ability to keep repairing itself.

Though the repair speed couldn’t keep up with the destruction wrought by their two Torch Warships, under such circumstances, thoroughly extinguishing the Star Devouring Vine’s vitality was clearly not something that could be done within 24 hours.

Now, with the appearance of this anti-magic effect, which completely cut off the energy supply from the roots, there was a significant possibility of eradicating the Star Devouring Vine once and for all.

Despite this Floating Land at their feet already being barren, it was ultimately a Fourth Rank Starry Sea Floating Land. Before it completely collapsed, the energy within its Origin Core was unimaginable.

Without this anti-magic effect, forget 24 hours; even if they were to continue providing energy for tens of years to the Star Devouring Vine, until it reached the peak of the Fourth Rank, it was feared that it would not experience any signs of exhaustion.

Thinking this, Song Chi grew a bit more anxious. According to his great-great-uncle Song Fu, this anti-magic effect seems to only last for one hour. Therefore, they must resolve the Star Devouring Vine within this hour.

Click, click, click!

Below the Cangqiong, an [External Armor-Piercing Cobalt Shell Launcher] popped out. Although it was only enhanced to lv30, Song Chi couldn’t care less about that right now in a bid to gather all available firepower.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Sword Light Phantasm and two special cobalt bullets were fired almost at the same time, but the Sword Light Phantom’s shooting speed was evidently much faster than the physical cobalt bullets.

By the time the Sword Light Phantom had already exploded within the dust below, the two dark special cobalt bullets had just arrived.

“Hmm?”

Inside the Cangqiong, Song Chi let out a soft exclamation.

Also hearing his soft exclamation in the communication projection, an anxious Song Fu quickly asked:

“Chi, my boy, what’s wrong? Did you make a discovery?”

Song Chi’s eyes were fixed on the radar display in front of him. Just now, the information shown by the “Magic Energy Detection” feature had changed significantly.

The moment the two armor-piercing cobalt bullets fell into the dust and struck the body of the Star Devouring Vine, the energy fluctuations they emitted noticeably dimmed a lot. Although the dust storm blocked the view, preventing direct observation, the [Silver III Generation Super-wave Magical Energy Detection Radar] surely wasn’t mistaken.
