Seeing this, Bai Jingyan not only didn't feel troubled, but became even more excited. The stronger this plant was, the stronger it would be at integrating the genes of the Marine Apostle, which would be very beneficial to his future research.

The mutated plant, having absorbed a large number of similar lifeforms, grew at an even more terrifying rate. Its branches and leaves grew visibly, and thousands of giant, snake-like leaves danced wildly in the air, like a giant "snake nest."

Sweat beaded on the foreheads of the staff. The weapons in their hands could hardly do any damage to this "monster," and it had already begun to counterattack. If they failed to take down this plant and were instead wiped out, it would be ridiculous.

"This guy's strength is definitely far beyond that of a First Evolution being..." Bai Jingyan made an accurate judgment. He took out a life energy detector and found that the plant's life energy was already close to crimson, which was the strength of a Second Evolution Follower.

If it weren't for its [plant] characteristics, making it difficult to leave the land it was rooted in, this exploration team would probably have been wiped out.

The genetic strength of the Marine Apostle was simply too high. Even a tiny trace was enough to create a [being] no weaker than a Follower!

Bai Jingyan knew that they couldn't waste any more time. Their departure from Raging Tides Island was inherently dangerous. If they stayed here for too long and attracted the attention of the Ancient Civilization, they would easily be attacked.

With their current strength, they would have difficulty dealing with even a fully armed Follower.

They had to hurry!

Bai Jingyan took out a remote control from his pocket and pressed it towards the aircraft parked in the distance.

Buzz!

With the hum of machinery, a black cannon barrel extended from the aircraft, pointing at the plant with perfect precision.

As the cannon appeared, the plant seemed to sense the danger, rapidly retracting its branches and leaves into a ball.

This scene was like a hedgehog curling up to protect itself with its spines when it encounters an enemy...

Bai Jingyan remained expressionless and pressed the button on the remote control again without hesitation.

There was no flame, no heavy shell, and no dazzling laser. For a moment, it seemed as if nothing had happened.

The muzzle emitted a sound like an explosion being detonated.

The next moment, the plant exploded without warning, as if it had been struck by a heavy blow!

Bai Jingyan smiled slightly.

This aircraft was a product of the Sky Citadel. Although its main purpose was transportation and flight, it was also equipped with some attack weapons. The heavy cannon from just now was a type of "sonic weapon."

The design principle of this weapon is to create the same natural frequency as the target, causing frequency resonance within the target's body, thereby killing the enemy.

On Blue Star, every object, whether it is a living thing, a plant, or even a stone or bridge, has its own natural frequency. Once resonance is triggered, it will cause fatal damage to the object.

And most importantly, this weapon only causes damage to the target, and does not affect other objects in any way, making it one of the most precise strike weapons!

With a sonic heavy cannon blast, the originally powerful mutated plant was almost completely shattered. The leaves that resembled giant pythons were broken into palm-sized pieces, leaving only a few thicker ones still connected to the roots. The previous manic appearance had disappeared, replaced by a deathly silence, looking like a dying beast.

"Dig it out, take it away!" Bai Jingyan said with a wave of his hand, watching as the value on the life energy detector in his hand dropped to the lower limit.

Although this mutated plant had integrated the genes of the Marine Apostle, it was not a resurrection of the Marine Apostle after all, and its self-healing ability could not be as strong as a true Second Evolution creature. After being hit hard, it fell into a dying state.

Everyone surrounded it and quickly dug out the dilapidated plant, roots and all.

Bai Jingyan didn't dare to stay. After transferring it to a sealed cabin, he quickly led his men to evacuate the area. They had been here for nearly fifteen minutes. If the Ancient Civilization detected their location and wanted to attack, they would arrive very soon!

The large aircraft took off and quickly headed towards Raging Tides Island.

...

Half an hour later, on Raging Tides Island, Damian looked at Bai Jingyan in disbelief, asking with a doubtful tone, "What did you say? You only left for the time it took to eat a meal, and you only reached the first location, and you found suitable resources?"

Bai Jingyan's face was full of excited smiles. He nodded and said, "Yes! I didn't expect things to go so smoothly. I found a plant in the area of coordinates 856.65... that can perfectly fuse with the genes of the Marine Apostle, without even needing to add any other drugs or materials!"

Damian raised his eyebrows.

After countless experiments, he knew very well how difficult the Marine Apostle's genes were to handle. Genes that could not be fused even with the addition of a large number of neutralizing suppressants could now be perfectly fused by a plant without the aid of any external force?

This was simply a fantasy!

"Maybe even fate has begun to favor us..." Bai Jingyan's voice finally became relaxed. He had people bring out the sealed cabin containing the plant, and strode towards the inside of the armory: "There is no time to lose, let's start testing now!"
