Chapter 564 - 365: Howard Reincarnates in the Beast-eared Maiden World_2

Even though this movement is just a twitch for the Divine Tree, in this deep underground pit, and even the entire Boston sea area, it’s an earthquake!

In an instant, the water area more than two thousand meters underground was rapidly churned, turning everything upside down. The root tip that originally protruded wanted to retract with all its might. How could Xue Dili let it have its way? He grasped the root tip, and his entire body was dragged into the depths of the underground by it.

The entire sea area, and even the whole of Boston, instantly erupted in a violent earthquake.

The tremor was so intense that the Boston Earthquake Bureau immediately issued an evacuation alert and carried out the highest level of evacuation along the Boston coast.

What consequences could an underwater earthquake have?

The answer, naturally, is a tsunami!

But this is merely the Divine Tree’s simple disturbance, equivalent to a human knee-jerk reflex, which caused a magnitude 6 earthquake in the entire Boston area.

No one expected this situation, neither Xue Dili nor the World Consciousness.

They all thought that the Divine Tree, which had just been elbowed, should not have the energy to stir up much disturbance. Coupled with the World Consciousness’s suppression, it should easily seal it inside Xue Dili’s body.

However, the reality is that the Divine Tree, as if aware of its imminent death, burst forth with unprecedented commotion, seeming to want to submerge the entire continent of America.

No wonder it was the enemy that had been elbowed by Mom for over 60 million years without being destroyed.

At this moment, the one most worried about Xue Dili was not himself, nor the Little Witch who paid attention to him while watching the drama, but Howard, who was guarding the entrance.

Seeing the sudden earthquake, even the tremor was so strong that he could barely stand after reaching the entrance; the cave was already churning out a large amount of bubbles and silt, almost entirely blocking the entrance.

"Hey! Damn it, bastard, bastard! Why an earthquake at this moment?" Howard gritted his teeth, looking at another set of diving equipment at his side.

In his mind, Xue Dili was still underwater, and after the earthquake broke out, Xue Dili was most likely going to die!

After all, cave diving is the deadliest adventure, bar none. Encountering any force of nature during cave diving usually results in nothing but becoming a corpse deep underground.

At this time, Howard could only stare fiercely at the murky cave entrance, praying that Xue Dili could immediately ascend upon sensing the earthquake, and come out as quickly as possible.

As for decompression sickness and the like, it was no longer something they could consider.

But after a few more minutes, Howard became increasingly silent, his teeth grinding, for even by now, there was still no sign of anyone.

He looked at the bubbling cave, then at the equipment in his hand, and began to rapidly put on his diving suit and gear up.

However, the moment he got into the water, he hesitated. He was scared, terrified; based on his diving experience, going down now meant a high chance of finding nothing and risking his own life in the process.

Xue Dili was most likely already dead, and should he still go down? In this situation, with aftershocks occurring from time to time, just go down like this?

Cold sweat slowly seeped from his forehead. Howard gritted his teeth, saying, "Damn it, I’m just a worthless life anyway; let it be known that Howard died in cave diving!"

Even with the ongoing aftershocks, he jumped directly into the murky cave.

...

In the depths of the ocean, in a location no one could imagine, Xue Dili held onto the Divine Tree’s root tightly, being dragged wildly in the depths of the underground.

He had no idea where he was, or how far the Divine Tree’s root had dragged him, but there was no way to help it. Despite his body colliding with countless rocks and stirring up a lot of mud, he still clung tightly to the Divine Tree’s root.

"Mom! How much longer?" Xue Dili asked.

He was almost unable to hold on any longer.

"Almost there, you’re about to reach the trunk, this time finish off this guy once and for all!" The Earth Consciousness felt about the Divine Tree as it would about a patch of psoriasis appearing on its body.

A nuisance that’s hard to get rid of and constantly irritating.

This time, it’s preparing to solve the Divine Tree completely; it absolutely won’t let it escape!

So after a series of maneuvers and tugs, Xue Dili finally felt he had arrived at a vast deep-sea bottom.

At this time, the water temperature had already made Xue Dili feel scalding, and the water pressure was as if millions of leeches were sucking blood from his body.

However, after the Holy Light Technique was unfolded, Xue Dili suddenly saw a tree reaching into an unknown depth in either the ocean or some deep underground place, a tree with no visible end...

"Really, how did the mystics from the parallel world find this thing? That Blington really has something there," Xue Dili couldn’t help but ridicule.

"Begin the sealing; there seems to be a slight problem. Your friend appears to be trying to enter the cave to rescue you," the World Consciousness suddenly said.

Xue Dili: "!!!"

No way, man, Howard, are you insane? Entering a cave during an earthquake, trying to save me?

Xue Dili really felt on edge. He hadn’t expected that someone he just met in this world, Howard, would be willing to risk his life to save him.
