123: Green's Clever Plan (Part 3)

“Oh dear…”

“These White Wizards are truly cunning.”

The red-eyed crow controlled by Blood Cat Wizard cursed.

“Blood Shark, we’re in trouble.”

“What’s wrong?”

The red-eyed crow controlled by Blood Shark on the right urgently asked:

“What happened?”

“The things these White Wizards are doing are so strange, I knew it wouldn’t be good.”

“Tell me quickly, what’s the purpose of them doing this?”

The red-eyed crow on the left, with a hint of admiration in its tone, explained to Blood Shark Wizard:

“I really didn’t expect it!”

“To come up with such a wild idea, there must be a genius among the White Wizards of Plant Heart Wizard Academy.”

“Let me tell you.”

“The plant they are cultivating is called Water Root. It can grow in water, swamps…”

“Water Root can extend its roots tens of meters deep, which means these inconspicuous plants will use their roots to absorb the egg fluid you buried deep underground.”

“At that time…”

“Your bait will become ineffective, and these Corrosion Poison Rong will no longer stay on the road.”

“And all our efforts will be in vain.”

…“Damn it…”

“Then what do we do…”

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Blood Shark Wizard became anxious:

“I sacrificed the lives of five experienced Intermediate Wizard Apprentices and a large amount of precious resources. It wasn’t easy to lure these Corrosion Poison Rong here.”

“The result…”

“Before even killing a single White Wizard, it just blocked their path for a few days and now it’s useless?”

“Then I’ve lost a lot.”

“Hmph…”

The red-eyed crow on the left said discontentedly:

“Hehe, that’s your problem.”

“If you don’t achieve the expected consumption effect, I’d like to see how you explain it to the higher-ups.”

“What…”

“Blood Cat, are you trying to push the responsibility onto us again?”

“Now we’re grasshoppers on the same boat. If something goes wrong on my end, your end won’t be much better. Maybe both of us will capsize.”

“Why don’t you quickly come up with a way to stop them?”

…“What can I do? Didn’t you see that row of burly figures?”

“I’m sure there are Peak Wizard Apprentice level combatants in there, and more than one. They’re probably just waiting for us to appear so they can take our heads to vent their anger.”

“If you’re tired of living.”

“You can try to make some small moves.”

“Then… then we can’t do anything.”

“Just watch them remove our trap with our own eyes.”

The red-eyed crow on the right asked furiously:

“What about our planned sneak attack?”

“Still thinking about a sneak attack?”

“It’s good enough if we can protect the underground cave now.”

“Not good…”

“The tunnel we dug for the sneak attack is only a little over five meters deep.”

“It’ll be bad if they discover it, Blood Shark, go back quickly and fill up the tunnel.”

After speaking, the divine light in the left red-eyed crow’s eyes immediately dissipated, becoming dull.

Upon hearing this, the right red-eyed crow also couldn’t sit still, and the divine light in its eyes quickly dissipated as well.

“Now is not the time for a decisive battle.”

“If these White Wizards discover our lair, then we’ll be in big trouble.”

…On the White Wizard’s side.

An hour passed.

The original Corrosion Poison Rong swamp had turned into a dense jungle of weeds.

The vigorously growing Water Root had completely absorbed all the moisture in this area, creating their incredibly dense plant kingdom.

Under the blessing of plant growth spells, these Water Roots quickly entered their mature stage.

Small flowers bloomed in the jungle.

The Corrosion Poison Rong were very happy to face these delicacies that fell from the sky.

In these past few days.

First, chasing the egg thieves who stole their offspring’s eggs, the Corrosion Poison Rong had been on the move for several days without a decent meal.

Then, they arrived at this sorrowful place.

The sadness of shattered eggs, the anger… Then Green and the other White Wizards arrived, and the Corrosion Poison Rong engaged in a series of fierce battles.

Having not had a proper meal for over half a month, the Corrosion Poison Rong couldn’t hold back.

Although they could survive for several months without food by relying on their own fat, with fragrant delicacies right in front of them, who could resist?

So.

These Corrosion Poison Rong no longer cared about the White Wizards who were close at hand.

Swinging their powerful forelimbs, they started digging the soil. Experienced Corrosion Poison Rong knew that the fattest and chewiest roots of the Water Root were at the very bottom.

Therefore.

Soon, this newly built jungle green space turned into a construction site again.

Hundreds of Corrosion Poison Rong, each over five meters in size, were like excavators, digging the soil while selecting thick roots to stuff into their mouths.

It was like a massive self-service restaurant… Green was somewhat stunned by this scene.

These Corrosion Poison Rong weren’t following the script.

According to conventional wisdom, after the Water Root absorbed the underground egg fluid as nutrients, these Corrosion Poison Rong should leave this place.

Even if there were residual smells.

Green still had a backup plan.

Green asked for instructions from Vice President, Mentor Bruceklin:

“Commander-in-chief, should we proceed to the next step now?”

“Wait a moment.”

“Green, we need to be patient.”

“I didn’t expect the effect of this second step to be so good.”

“It seems these Corrosion Poison Rong are really hungry.”

Mentor Bruceklin said calmly, the excellent situation before him causing his tightly furrowed brows to quietly relax.

“Wait…”

“Our people need to recover their condition, we have plenty of time to wait.”

“Let’s wait and see if these Corrosion Poison Rong will leave after eating.”

“After all, those Black Wizards couldn’t have buried the egg fluid too deep.”

…“Pass on my order!”

“All alert Wizards, be extra vigilant.”

“Pay close attention to your surroundings.”

“The closer we get to the critical moment, the more we must prevent Black Wizards from causing trouble.”

“All joint spellcasting Wizards, immediately drink recovery potions and quickly restore your Spiritual Power and magic power.”

“The final great battle is today.”

…More than an hour passed.

On the flat surface of the road, it was already difficult to see any Corrosion Poison Rong.

These ravenous creatures’ digging abilities were not to be underestimated; in just over an hour, they had dug a large pit several meters deep.

“Rumble…”

Suddenly, a loud noise erupted from the Corrosion Poison Rong pit.

“What’s going on?”

“Adrian, immediately use Eagle Eye to observe the situation.”

“Understood!”

A large goose-shaped giant bird flew above the Corrosion Poison Rong, circling and observing.

“Commander-in-chief, a large hole has appeared below the Corrosion Poison Rong. The hole is nearly five meters in diameter…”

“Currently, two Corrosion Poison Rong have already fallen in, and a third is about to fall…”

“Oh…”

“Unidentified creatures are active below, with blood-red exteriors, very similar to Corrosion Poison Rong.”

“Emergency situation!”

“Blood Rong is suspected to have appeared at the large hole…”

“Emergency situation!”

“Blood Rong is suspected to have appeared at the large hole…”
