46: Chapter 46 The Perilous Primeval Forest

In an instant, tens of thousands of explosive spiritual fruits streaked across the sky, falling into the wolf pack like a rainstorm made of plants.

When the first explosive spiritual fruit hit the ground, the charging wolf pack showed no reaction at all.

The wasteland wolves even wore human-like expressions of confusion.

They clearly could not understand what these weak green creatures were trying to do.

The next second.

Boom!!!

A crimson flash of fire suddenly burst forth, and the terrifying explosion instantly swallowed up a radius of dozens of meters.

The wasteland wolves charging at the very front didn't even have time to scream before their bodies were directly torn apart.

The entire wasteland instantly turned into a sea of fire, with crimson pillars of fire shooting into the sky and dense sounds of explosions merging into one, as if countless bolts of thunder had descended simultaneously.

Those wasteland wolves simply could not get close. Their proud speed was completely meaningless in this death zone.

Having just rushed out a dozen meters, they were blown away by the oncoming explosions. Their tough fur was torn, their sharp fangs broken, and their huge bodies tumbled in the flames.

The wolf king let out an angry roar, a ferocious beast's blood aura erupting from its body as it tried to forcefully endure it with its powerful physical body.

But the next moment, dozens of explosive spiritual fruits landed precisely at its feet.

Boom!!! The ground collapsed.

The wolf king's massive body was directly blasted flying dozens of meters.

By the time it hit the ground, it had completely lost its combat capability.

In less than a minute, tens of thousands of D-rank wasteland wolves were completely wiped out.

The air was filled with a burnt smell, and countless remains of ferocious beasts were left on the ground.

Meanwhile, Fang Yun, who had entered the primeval forest, also ran into trouble.

At the very beginning, things went smoothly, and Fang Yun harvested quite a few resources.

Nearly ten thousand D-rank spiritual plant resources such as Pine Spiritual Fruits, Iron-Bone Demon Vines, and Crimson Flame Flowers were harvested, worth tens of millions of Faith Values.

However, as the troops advanced, Fang Yun began to encounter some bizarre phenomena.

First, some believers experienced dizziness and blurred vision, and then they were attacked by a large swarm of mosquitoes.

After checking the condition of some believers, Eve's small face turned somewhat serious: "Master, this seems to be some kind of toxic miasma, causing the believers to feel somewhat unwell."

"Miasma?"

Fang Yun was somewhat surprised, you know, his believers were now completely immune to ordinary poisons and possessed an extra 30% poison resistance against extraordinary poisons.

Could this miasma actually affect them?

"Is the situation serious? Will it endanger their lives?" Fang Yun couldn't help feeling a bit worried.

"Rest assured, Master. The believers' physical fitness is already very high after undergoing the Dragon-Elephant baptism, and with the additional bonuses of +30% defense and +30% poison resistance, this miasma only has a minor impact."

"As long as we can walk out of this area as soon as possible, they shouldn't be affected anymore."

Fang Yun nodded with a serious expression. Not long after the group continued forward, a large swarm of bizarre mosquitoes suddenly appeared without warning deep in the jungle.

They moved in flocks, blocking out the sky and sun.

"Massive life reactions detected approaching, quantity... exceeding two hundred thousand!"

"Not good, Master, they are Bloodthirsty Poison Mosquitoes!" Eve's anxious voice rang out in Fang Yun's mind.

"Although the damage of a single individual of this creature is very low, they usually act in groups. Tens of thousands of Bloodthirsty Poison Mosquitoes can drain even extraordinary creatures dry."

In the distance, the sky began to darken, enveloped by dense black figures. The buzzing sound grew closer and closer, echoing above the entire primeval forest.

Some Dragon-Elephant Warriors looked up with slight changes in their expressions; they could feel the heart-palpitating number of mosquitoes within that black cloud.

Fang Yun did not panic. He commanded with a calm expression: "Everyone listen up, form the Black Tortoise Defensive Formation!"

"Yes!"

Following Fang Yun's order, everyone immediately moved in accordance with their usual training requirements.

The warriors on the outermost perimeter quickly adjusted their positions, and their shields slammed down heavily. The warriors behind placed their hands on the shoulders of their companions in front, connecting their blood auras and resonating their power.

In just a few breaths, the previously scattered Dragon-Elephant Warriors transformed into a massive war fortress.

A phantom of the Black Tortoise slowly condensed above the army formation.

Its turtle shell was thick and its snake head ferocious, exuding a steady aura as heavy as a mountain.

Hum— The next moment, the black insect tide finally descended.

Countless Bloodthirsty Poison Mosquitoes charged frantically, slamming fiercely against the Black Tortoise phantom, producing a dense array of impact sounds.

The entire sky felt as though a black rainstorm was falling.

Yet the Black Tortoise phantom remained motionless like a reef.

The Dragon-Elephant Warriors at the very front gripped their shields tightly, while their comrades behind continuously imbued them with the power of their blood auras.

For a time, both sides were deadlocked.

Fang Yun frowned within the battle formation as he watched this scene before him.

He had some concerns in his heart; martial arts civilization was still slightly weaker compared to other civilizations, and its methods were not diverse enough.

Facing such small, swarm-type enemies was their shortcoming, making it difficult to play a truly effective role.

If it were a mechanical civilization or an immortality cultivation civilization, they could directly wash the ground with incendiary bombs or cast spell divine powers, easily dealing with this group of enemies.

Fang Yun was considering whether to let some believers switch to other paths in the future.

Right now, he was somewhat caught in a dilemma. While the Black Tortoise Defensive Formation possessed formidable defense, it lacked counterattacking means.

The blood auras of the Dragon-Elephant Warriors were not inexhaustible, and these mosquitoes seemed to have realized that forceful attacks could not break through the opponent's defense, only wasting their strength in vain.

They chose to slow down their attacks, surrounding Fang Yun's group tightly, and the number of mosquitoes around them gathered more and more.

If Fang Yun were to dismiss the formation now, a significant number of believers would definitely suffer casualties in that instant.

Afterwards, without the blessing of the formation, these Dragon-Elephant Warriors fighting these mosquitoes one-on-one might not actually be effective.

Moreover, there was another matter that could not be underestimated: the impact of the miasma in the forest was becoming increasingly serious.

If they couldn't walk out of the jungle quickly, it would likely endanger the lives of many believers.

Fang Yun's eyes turned icy. He hadn't expected that in such a special environment, a group of tiny bugs would actually put himself and the one hundred thousand Dragon-Elephant Warriors in a dilemma.

To think he had previously believed he was already a demigod invincible in sweeping through secret realms; thinking about it now, it seemed rather ridiculous.

Looking at the believers who were gradually running out of stamina, Fang Yun knew it was time to make a decision.

He prepared to first let some Dragon-Elephant Legion warriors hold the front line; even if it caused some casualties, there was no other way.

The remaining half of the believers would directly change formation, forming the Dragon-Elephant Mountain-Suppressing Formation to launch a counterattack.

The reason why he didn't directly form the formation to fight at the beginning was because Fang Yun was worried about causing damage. After all, as an offensive formation, the Dragon-Elephant Mountain-Suppressing Formation only attacked and did not defend.

Facing hundreds of thousands of mosquitoes would inevitably cause considerable losses, and it was precisely this bit of compassion of his that led to his current awkward predicament.

Just as Fang Yun was about to order a formation change.

"Master, wait."

Eve suddenly reminded him.

"Massive life reactions detected approaching."

Fang Yun was stunned, and at the same time, a gentle voice came from ahead.

"Classmate Fang Yun?"
