Chapter 254 Return to the Giant Tree
Chapter 254 Return to the Giant Tree
Liu Chi recovered a little and heard Catherine's cry behind him.
"Liu Chi! Liu Chi!"
Liu Chi turned around in a daze, saw two figures in the fog, and walked towards them.
"Why did you disappear so suddenly? Why did you leave so quickly?"
Catherine complained.
"Let's go. There is no rare metal here that I want."
Liu Chi said to Catherine.
"is it?"
Catherine wondered.
"You are lying. I know the way you lie!"
Liu Chi walked forward and took Catherine's hand. He knew that he couldn't deal with the tree spirit in front of him with his current strength, so there was no point in staying any longer.
At the same time, the system interface popped up. After a period of detection, the instrument showed that the rare metal ores nearby were concentrated under the giant tree.
"Liu Chi, what happened just now? Why can't I contact you? Where are the rare metals?"
Nanako's voice immediately rang in her ears, very anxiously.
Liu Chi knew that he could coax Catherine, but he had no way of getting past Nanako.
"Let's go and look for ore somewhere else."
"Can't defeat the monster?"
Nanako said,
"I'll put Unit-00- over here to help you!"
"Need not!"
Liu Chi said loudly,
But with a beam of light in front of him, a nearly four-meter-tall Gundam appeared in front of Liu Chi.
"What's wrong with you? Didn't you say you would revive Qianqian? Why did you back off when you encountered rare metals? You are so unreliable. Let me do it."
When Catherine saw Unit-01, she knew that it was Nanako who took action, and the purpose of this trip was to help her, so Catherine's fighting spirit was rekindled.
Seeing the scepter flashing with lightning, Liu Chi knew that Catherine was also eager to try, so he pulled her over.
"do not go."
"Why did you stop me?"
Catherine looked at Liu Chi with a resentful look on her face. She had already been overwhelmed by the power bestowed by the Dark Night Star Pupil.
Seeing that Catherine was about to break free from his hand, Liu Chi hardened his heart and hugged her in his arms.
"Count me in, please, don't go in, you are no match for the giant tree!"
Liu Chi persuaded, he instinctively felt the suffocating power of the tree spirit.
"I am already a Saint, who should I be afraid of?"
Catherine still refused to give in and was restless in Liu Chi's arms.
Liu Chi took a look at the black scepter in her hand and knew that Catherine must have been affected by the Dark Night Star Pupils. With the idea of trying, Liu Chi took the initiative to kiss Catherine.
"I won't disturb you anymore."
After Nanako's voice sounded, Unit 00's eyes flashed, and after being activated, it was given the order to destroy the giant tree, and then disappeared in the white mist.
After sensing Liu Chi, Catherine's mind went blank. She didn't care about holding things with her hands and hugged Liu Chi. The Dark Night Star Pupils also fell to the ground.
Seeing that Dark Night Star Eyes had escaped from his hand, Liu Chi immediately pushed Catherine away.
Catherine looked at Liu Chi with confusion, not understanding why he pushed her away.
Seeing Catherine blushing and looking at him shyly, Liu Chi hurriedly bent down and picked up the Dark Night Star Pupil.
After seeing Liu Chi's actions, Catherine instantly understood what Liu Chi meant. The reason he did this was to stop her.
"Why won't you let me fight?"
Catherine also expressed her doubts.
"If the tree spirit just now was like you, I might have died."
Liu Chi held the Dark Night Star Pupil tightly, he was not sure whether Catherine would snatch it away.
"Well, can you tell me what happened during the time you disappeared?"
"Nothing happened. I just had a brief exchange with the tree spirit. With our current strength, we cannot compete with it."
"What about Unit 00?"
"do not know."
Liu Chi took the Dark Night Star Pupil in the form of a hammer and walked outside. He didn't want to stay in the white fog any longer.
Then the three of them walked to the edge of the crack in the valley and looked at the giant tree shrouded in white mist from afar.
"Nanako will be unhappy if you do this, right?"
Catherine asked,
"I decided to leave on my own, and the tree spirit didn't kill me. That's the condition."
"What if Nanako kills the tree spirit and obtains the rare metal?"
"That means the tree spirit is too weak and not worth it for me to do this."
"Aren't you a double standard then?"
Catherine couldn't help but complain.
"I'm just doing my best. I can't stop Nanako. Besides, Nanako has come personally. What else can I say?"
"So we're just going to wait here, right?"
Liu Chi nodded and didn't say anything else. Now all he could do was wait.
However, Nanako was completely lost. After giving the order, she lost contact with Unit 00. She realized that the white fog was affected by the rare metals and directly shielded her. She was interfered with and could not obtain any information.
Nanako, who was anxiously waiting for the result, finally thought of Yanagiike.
"Liuchi!"
As the voice fell, Nanako's projection of girl form appeared directly next to Yanagichi in a sitting position.
"Nanako? Aren't you supposed to be with Unit 00?"
"This layer of white fog directly blocked me. This is probably why I couldn't contact you just now."
Thinking back to when he lost Catherine and the system in the white fog just now, Liu Chi understood what Nanako said.
"Are we waiting for Unit 00 to come out now?"
"If no new orders are given, it will only return after completing the mission, so I need you to go inside and check the situation again, in order to revive Qianqian."
Seeing Yanagiike hesitate, Nanako added,
"I gave all of your lives to you. In exchange, you must get this batch of rare metals."
After hearing Nanako's threat, Liu Chi also understood that this was her helpless act. Her original intention was only to resurrect Mo Xi. This was her responsibility.
As if he had made up his mind, Liu Chi took a deep breath and smiled.
"Then wait for me. I'll be back soon."
As Liu Chi finished speaking, a beam of light lit up in front of his eyes, and a robot was teleported down by Nanako.
Nanako teleported the robot only to protect and take care of Catherine, and then according to Liu Chi's instructions, prevented Catherine from entering the giant tree.
This time, Liu Chi did not leave the Dark Night Star Pupil behind, but took it with him. He knew that once Catherine took the Dark Night Star Pupil, she would definitely follow.
After waving to the three people in the distance, Liu Chi stepped into the white mist covering the giant tree.
A gust of wind blew by, and Liu Chi looked back. He knew that he had returned to the tree spirit's territory.
As they moved forward, Liu Chi saw that Unit 00 was tightly entangled by thick vines and could not move.
