186: Three legendary plants make their debut
After the explosion, only endless ash remained.
The slaughter value did not increase; as long as the spores were not completely wiped out, these second-generation Black Slime Worms would not truly die out.
So when they attacked, each one would leave behind a few spores as backups.
Taking advantage of the cover of the smoke, six million small moths also launched a charge.
To everyone's shock, large nets suddenly appeared from the mist.
These nets were composed of crystal particles, and the moment they caught the small moths, they exploded again.
"Boom~"
"Boom~"
This time, the explosion was much louder.
And when it exploded, some glazed-colored crystals scattered everywhere.
Seeing this scene, the Arbiter couldn't help but stand up.
"These crystal fragments are very similar to the ones that attacked us a few days ago."
The Arbiter's words caught everyone's attention: "They're probably just similar, right?"
"It couldn't possibly be Chen Fei's doing, could it?"
"Surely not, how could Chen Fei have the combat power of a King-level Beast Tamer? That would be terrifying."
"But even if it wasn't Chen Fei's doing, there should be a significant relationship between the two."
"Perhaps the one who attacked us was Chen Fei's teacher or someone like that..."
The Lord took all of this in.
If it was only slightly concerned about Chen Fei before, now it truly took him to heart.
The Lord would not allow any factor to affect its plan.
Then, the Lord seemed to make a decision and ordered: "This Chen Fei must die!"
And this time, the Lord personally contacted the Mianling Ghost Tree.
Shortly after, the Mianling Ghost Tree received the Lord's notice.
It looked at Chen Fei on the city wall, and after locking onto the target, it gave a unified command: "The entire army is to set out, destroy Baiyue City, and execute this person!"
At this moment, the Fourth-Level Beasts were fully deployed.
Their momentum was not as grand as the previous Third-level Beasts, but it was even more chilling.
Each one possessed extremely powerful destructive force, and ordinary Grandmaster-level Beast Tamers simply couldn't stop them.
Chen Fei's Third Generation Gu Worms were busy dealing with the Four-winged Celestial Moth Beasts and the second-generation Black Slime Worms.
They simply couldn't spare any effort to deal with this army of Fourth-Level Beasts.
Next, the real slaughter was about to begin.
As the Fourth-Level Beasts entered the field, Cheng Jingjing waved her hand: "Earth-element beasts, move!"
At Cheng Jingjing's command, a large crack suddenly opened beneath the feet of the Fourth-Level Beasts; many of them didn't have time to escape and fell into the crack one after another.
And within the crack were rows of fourth-tier Demonic Plant seeds; these seeds didn't take up much space and weren't afraid of being destroyed by Earth-Splitting Demon Worms, making them very difficult to detect.
The moment the crack appeared, Cheng Jingjing had her wood-attribute beasts exert their full power to stimulate them, her own Green Wood Spirit Ape among them.
Then!
These seeds sprouted rapidly, quickly growing into purple-green vines with thorns.
They were the Spirit Taming Continent's native Feng Hou Blood Vines, which generally grew at the southern end of the continent beneath the uninhabited Silent Death Cliff.
Like the Bloodthirsty Moss, they lived by devouring blood.
In the last war, everything had benefited the Bloodthirsty Moss King.
This time, the Human Race was prepared; rather than letting the Bloodthirsty Moss King benefit, it was better to let these Feng Hou Blood Vine Demonic Plants absorb it.
The more blood they devoured, the thicker the vines of these Feng Hou Blood Vines became, and swaths of fourth-tier Evil Beasts were swept away.
In addition to this, Chen Fei also added some seasoning for them.
"Ya, release the Red Spider Lilies!"
Having stayed in the Nine Nether Fierce Land for so long, no one understood the terror of the Red Spider Lilies better than Chen Fei.
As long as the spores of the Red Spider Lily were not destroyed, it would continuously parasitize and grow.
So Chen Fei had long ago asked Lin Ya to capture a patch of Red Spider Lilies into the Sacred Codex Space.
When needed, he would have Lin Ya release them from the Sacred Codex Space.
Lin Ya could not forcibly capture a fifth-tier, stage 5 Red Spider Lily, but he could certainly manage to capture fourth-tier, stage 7 or 8 ones.
And so!
Whether it was the Human Race or the Evil Beasts, they all witnessed such a terrifying scene.
The Evil Beasts that were still running suddenly collapsed to the ground; after a series of convulsions, their flesh and blood were completely devoured, and then a bright red flower grew atop their skeletons.
Ximen Lingyun, Jiang Yiyi, and the others cried out in shock: "Isn't that the Red Spider Lily? Chen Fei, you actually brought it out from the Fierce Land!"
The power of the Red Spider Lily had left a deep impression on Ximen Lingyun and the others; just a tiny bit of blood had caused nearly half of their 200-person team to die.
Chen Fei smiled wickedly: "This move is called fighting poison with poison!"
"Their Bloodthirsty Moss King grows by relying on blood, so now I will imitate it."
"Let the Red Spider Lilies devour all the flesh and blood, leaving nothing for the Bloodthirsty Moss King."
"Even if it benefits the Red Spider Lilies, I won't let the Bloodthirsty Moss have its way."
Then, the bodies of these Red Spider Lilies shook, and countless spores flew out, heading toward the other Evil Beasts.
Continuing to parasitize, continuing to devour flesh and blood, again and again.
In this way, swaths of Red Spider Lilies and Feng Hou Blood Vines grew along the first line of defense.
Half red and half green, it was as if a demon from the abyss had opened its bloody maw.
This first line of defense had already killed tens of thousands of fourth-tier Evil Beasts, and the slaughter was still ongoing.
The Mianling Ghost Tree's ghostly face was fuming with rage, and it tore the blueprints to shreds.
At this moment, it knew it had been deceived.
This defense layout map was clearly just bait.
It hadn't expected the Human Race to use such extraordinary tactics as the Red Spider Lily and Feng Hou Blood Vine.
Introducing these Demonic Plants not only trapped and killed Evil Beasts but also had the potential to kill humans.
If it weren't for being forced into a desperate situation, the Human Race wouldn't have wanted to use such methods.
These Red Spider Lilies blocked the Evil Beasts, but they would also block the Human Race in the future.
Helpless, the Mianling Ghost Tree could only quickly adjust its strategy: "Thousand-Faced Mirror Princess, various ghosts, Hairy Zombies, skeletons, undead, and others without flesh and blood, go first! Leave a portion to clear out these Red Spider Lilies."
Although the Red Spider Lily and Feng Hou Blood Vine were strong, their weaknesses were also quite obvious; they were difficult to handle against beings without physical forms or flesh and blood.
So, a second line of defense was needed here.
The ground cracked open again, with rows of miniature bombs placed inside.
These bombs were not ordinary bombs, but bombs infused with light element attributes.
They wouldn't explode even if struck by Earth-Splitting Demon Worms; only the detonation from a light-attribute Yao Beast could set them off.
"Boom~"
"Boom~"
The explosions were continuous, echoing through the heavens and earth.
Such bombs had a great restraining effect on Evil Beasts of the Ghost System, Zombie System, and Necromancy System.
The Evil Beasts running at the front were all blown to pieces by these explosions.
This blast wiped out many Evil Beasts from the Ghost System and Necromancy System that feared the light attribute.
And it wasn't over yet!
Cheng Jingjing pulled out an object and then crushed it forcefully.
Shortly after, the Void Realm was torn open, and a batch of vines surged out frantically from the gap.
The moment these Soul Corpse Wrapping Vines appeared, they began to release poisonous mist.
They didn't have the blood-devouring ability of the Feng Hou Blood Vines, but they could release soul toxins over a large area.
The Ghost System has no physical form, but the Soul can still be injured.
The Necromancy System is not afraid of physical attacks, but it relies on the Soul to support the body.
It could be said that 99.9% of living beings cannot exist without a Soul.
The Soul Corpse Wrapping Vines slaughtered wantonly at this moment.
And the one who employed this Demonic Plant was none other than Tuoba Zhiyuan...
