Chapter 108: Chapter 49: The Green Lotus Frog Escapes and Massacres in All Directions
In the moonlit night, the undead creatures flying closest and fastest had already rushed in but were quickly annihilated.
Such a small number of undead posed no threat to the "Castle" as it is now; there was no need for others to take action. The Star Worm alone could deal with all these undead creatures.
"Star Flow" in terms of destructive power was far less than that of the Thunder Night Dragon, the Fierce Sword Firefly, the Green Lotus Frog, the Praying Light Sword, or even the Clover Mantis, the Floral Blue Leopard, and the Frost Crystal White Deer with their attack skills, but it was a very practical group attack skill. In terms of group attack capabilities, it was almost the most outstanding of all the skills of all Magic Pets.
Especially in the current situation where the enemies were not high-level and relatively scattered, it would be somewhat wasteful for the likes of the Thunder Night Dragon, the Fierce Sword Firefly, and the Green Lotus Frog to take action.
But it was just perfect for the Star Worm to step in; the "Star Flow" skill had a wide attack range and could flow back and forth, almost without wasting any Magic Power.
Though it was just the Star Worm taking action that kept the undead at bay, neither Char nor Freyja, nor the faces of the Demon Beasts, showed any sign of relaxation.
Because further away, the Land of Undead seemed to come alive, surging like earth dragons turning over, dust rising into the air, bursting out of the forest, and rolling towards the direction of the Garden Secret Realm.
From the sky above, it resembled a sudden burst of flash flood, with countless undead forming a flood heading towards the Garden Secret Realm; the impact of this scene was simply too great. Even the Thunder Night Dragon, who had always been fearless and very confident in its own power, now showed a look of gravity.
Even as confident as it was, it didn’t believe it could emerge unscathed if entangled by this undead army.
So for the moment, the Thunder Night Dragon, the Fierce Sword Firefly, the Clover Mantis, and the three Wind Winged Horses all burst forth with their fastest speed, pulling the carriage and speeding away frantically.
On the ground, undead creatures had already reached the edge of the Land of Undead. This area was originally part of the Land of Undead, but had been cleared of the Power of Death by the Ghost Lamp Green Vine, and now the undead were surging back over it.
The battle line that had just been reclaimed toppled in an instant.
Along with the "battle line," the Ghost Lamp Green Vines that Char and the others had planted also collapsed.
After blooming for three days, the batch of Ghost Lamp Green Vines surrounding the Garden Secret Realm had produced a large number of seeds. Char kept some of these seeds as vine seeds, and the rest he scattered across the Land of Undead—he hoped that the Ghost Lamp Green Vines could recover the forest’s lost ground from this starting point.
After being scattered in the Land of Undead, thanks to the exceptionally conducive growth environment, this batch of Ghost Lamp Green Vines thrived remarkably, and in a short amount of time, they went through rooting, sprouting, burgeoning growth, and clung to trees and shrubs, growing up to half a man’s height.
Now, they were all destroyed.
Although the Ghost Lamp Green Vines resisted, their struggle only stirred up little splashes; in the face of this horrific undead tide, it was no obstacle at all, and they were easily ripped to shreds.
Once the undead army regained their "brains," only a large force could resist them.
Only a large force could stand against another large force!
For Char to try to game the system, using the Land of Death as a dungeon to farm, that would be courting death.
What truly formed a significant resistance was the Garden Secret Realm.
The Ghost Lamp Green Vines, cultivated by Kedel as the bane of the Undead, showed little resistance against the undead army when they were newly grown, but the mature Ghost Lamp Green Vines exhibited astonishing lethal capability.
The whole circle of Ghost Lamp Green Vines seemed to come to life, with their skull-shaped leaves viciously lunging at the undead. The entire Garden Secret Realm was like a massive boulder, immovable in the torrential flood of the undead.
But for all their fierceness, the Ghost Lamp Green Vines could do nothing against the sheer numbers, and soon the vine wall they formed was breached. The tranquil and serene Garden Secret Realm immediately suffered a devastating blow.
In the sky, Auson appeared very angry and agitated, prompting Betty to cast "aromatic healing" several times to soothe his emotions.
Char’s expression wasn’t good either.
Although he had already taken precautions, moving everything that could be moved onto the carriage to prepare for a day of emergency, even with advance planning, there was no way to move the entire Garden Secret Realm onto the carriage.
There were still a large number of second-rate treasures that couldn’t be moved to the carriage, now destroyed in this undead tide.
However, now was not the time to feel distressed—if he couldn’t drive the carriage to safety out of this undead disaster, even the things already on the carriage would be destroyed, so what was there to lament?
After breaking through the Garden Secret Realm, a vast number of undead creatures capable of flight descended from the sky. Freyja was the first to attack, drawing her bow and shooting arrow after arrow explosively forth.
The night sky was like a burst of red fireworks exploding.
As a Level 5 Wood Elf Ranger in the process of becoming a Gale Ranger, Freyja’s combat capability vastly surpassed that of a typical Level 5 adventurer, even significantly stronger than an ordinary Level 6 adventurer.
That’s the bonus of Rare Professions. Even though Freyja had not yet fully transitioned, the increase in her combat power was substantial.
