Chapter 655 is very similar.
Ye Zheng thought Feng Ling was going to take him to a special place, but the kite just carried them aimlessly around the edge of the city.

Just as Ye Zheng was about to ask, Feng Ling seemed to have discovered something and pointed into the distance, saying, "That should be it."

Upon receiving the command, the kite immediately swooped down and flew over. Ye Zheng leaned back and quickly grabbed the armrests on both sides of the seat to steady himself—silently thanking the Kingdom of Lisa for making the saddle for the kite.

The vegetation below grew increasingly dense, completely obscuring any slightly lower buildings. The large trees sprouted dense aerial roots, resembling twisted insects.

There are also vast expanses of flowers blooming passionately, with vibrant colors and bizarre patterns. When abundance reaches its extreme, it loses its beauty and only becomes glaring and uncomfortable.

Feng Ling lowered her body and stared straight ahead.

Ye Zheng didn't understand her meaning, but seeing how serious she was, he also lowered his body.

The airflow became increasingly rapid, and violent fluctuations occurred in the air ahead.

The large kite was restless, seemingly unwilling to continue flying forward, swaying from side to side, causing the feathers on its back and Ye Zheng to feel the turbulence.

Suddenly, a gust of air hit me! The scenery before my eyes changed instantly!
They were originally on the edge of the city, with crisscrossing railway tracks and overgrown weeds below, but now the area below has become an extremely dense forest!
"It's a maze!" Ye Zheng exclaimed, looking at Feng Ling. "How did you know this was the maze entrance?!"

Feng Ling replied smugly, "The Taoist priest said that the card held by the Lord of the Labyrinth might be the God of Spring and Life, so I had an inspiration. The closer you get to the labyrinth, the more lush the plants must be, and the more active the pollutants should be. I think this place fits the bill perfectly, so I'll give it a try—how about that? My brain works pretty well, right?"

Ye Zheng's lips curled up slightly, a half-smile playing on his lips. "Occasionally, occasionally."

"It's really strange, though. Although I can see the red dot in the third-person view, I can't see any humans or animals with my naked eye looking down," Feng Ling said疑惑地. "Is it blocked by plants?"

“That’s possible. The most common animals in the city are cats and dogs. The weeds on the ground are taller than an adult’s knees, which can easily cover these small animals. As for large animals, you can probably only see them in zoos,” Ye Zheng said.

"Should I go down and take a look?" Feng Ling was eager to try. "I haven't seen any creatures in this maze yet; all I can see now are plants."

Ye Zheng frowned. "Let's find a place with relatively fewer plants. This won't work. The leaves completely cover the area below, and we don't know what the situation is like inside the forest."

Feng Ling pulled a grenade from her waist pouch, "Hehehe~ Hehehe~"

Ye Zheng nodded: "I think it's a good idea."

Without saying a word, Feng Ling raised his hand and threw two grenades down below, boom boom boom!

Thick smoke billowed out from the gaps in the dense foliage. Not satisfied, she asked Qingyou to take out the rocket launcher Huang Yi had given her from her checkered backpack and fired a shell at the trees in the distance!
The immense recoil nearly threw her off the kite, but the effect was also remarkable; she blasted a black hole in the seemingly endless green forest!

"I've wanted to do this for a long time!" Feng Ling was in high spirits. He knelt on the back of the giant kite to load the shells, and then fired another one!
The black hole is getting bigger!
"Haha~ This is so awesome!" Feng Ling turned to Ye Zheng and asked, "Do you want to try it?"

Ye Zheng curled his lip, thinking she was childish, "You play by yourself."

Feng Ling, of course, didn't hold back and unleashed a barrage of rockets!
In fact, this is the simplest, most direct, and most effective way for humanity to combat the contamination of the maze. If it weren't for the fact that protective suits are easily damaged when attacked by contaminated entities, humanity could easily send out a large army to conduct a fire sweep of the contaminated area.

In the early stages of human discovery of the labyrinth contamination, this was indeed the practice, resulting in a large number of soldiers suffering from genetic mutations and ultimately dying from the disease.

After bombarding enough, Fengling stopped, sat on the kite, and floated above the black hole created by the bombing, observing it curiously. It was a large hole; the trees were charred, and embers were still burning among the branches and leaves, while thick smoke was slowly dissipating.

“That’s strange. The red dot is clearly visible in the third-person view, but look at the places I blew up, there’s not a sound at all, not even a scream.” Feng Ling paused and murmured, “This place is too quiet.”

After considering for a moment, Ye Zheng said, "I'll go down and take a look."

"Don't go down yet." Feng Ling summoned a human-faced crow, skillfully growing an eye to cover it. The crow flapped its wings and flew into the forest with its new eye.

"So? Have you found anything?" Ye Zheng asked.

“Not yet…” Feng Ling frowned, her gaze following the human-faced crow as it ventured deeper into the forest.

The human-faced crow skillfully avoided the charred charcoal and flew towards the location shown as a red dot in the third-person perspective.

It flew with difficulty, even though it was small enough, because the density of the branches and leaves in the forest was astonishing.

If a branch normally grows one hundred leaves, then this branch grows ten thousand, or even one hundred thousand leaves! The leaves are layered upon layered, densely packed, like a distorted crested growth phenomenon in the plant. Some branches even have overlapping nodules growing on each other, and everything presents a morbid abundance.

When the human-faced crow arrived at one of the red dots, it discovered an unidentified object resembling internal organs wrapped in dense foliage.

The surface of the internal organs is covered with numerous translucent roots that undulate slightly, beating like a heart.

The human-faced crow moved a few centimeters closer, allowing Feng Ling to observe it more carefully.

Some of those roots are deeply embedded in the stems and leaves of the plant, while others extend into the soil.

Feng Ling thought of the motionless parasites in the city polluted by the labyrinth; their internal organs looked just like that.

She suspected that the reason the parasites could shout in unison and have a unified consciousness was because of these strange roots.

“The roots are interconnected, and the roots come from the body of the Maze Boss… All the living things here are part of the body of the Maze Boss.” Feng Ling felt like she had figured it out. “The parasites that I killed were completely disconnected from the main body of the Maze Boss because of the roots. So, I can find the Maze Boss by following these roots.”

But roots are almost everywhere, so where does she begin to look?
It would be great if we could find more clues.

Feng Ling pondered for a while, then summoned the human-faced crow back, only to find that the connection between her and the human-faced crow had been severed.

She couldn't help but be stunned.

Ye Zheng noticed the change in her expression and immediately asked, "Something happened?"

“This guy…” Feng Ling narrowed his eyes slightly, “It really is very similar to me. It can absorb the energy of flesh and blood, can control the consciousness of its clones, has a powerful self-healing ability, and it is omnipresent.”

My operations manager, Xiao Lizi, is learning to draw! Here's a drawing she did of Huangfu Miaomiao, haha, it's quite funny. I'm also promoting her WeChat official account, "Gu Zhi Li," where you can see more cute pictures~
