Final Lord

Chapter 200 Bracken Man Parasite
The swampy, decaying bone mound reeked of rotting reeds. Wang Bufu and Nix carefully observed the perimeter of the bone mound.

In Wang Bufu's eyes, the Bone Mound was covered with conspicuous red names. Large numbers of beetle-like people covered in ferns and mud-like creatures with eyes wandered aimlessly, just like zombies of the undead race.

[Fern marrow parasite
Normal level 2

Attributes: ... (Very different for each individual; slow speed, high health.)
Special Ability: Mist Spores: Releases hallucinogenic gas through spores, causing enemies to fall into the illusion of "Rotten Assimilation" and mistakenly believe that they are turning into plants.

Underground rhizome: The true core of the parasite lies underground. The above-ground portion of the parasite only accounts for half of its total health. The death of the parasite does not cause the death of the fern's pith core.

"Has he really turned into a monster?"

Wang Bufu patted Nix beside him and said, "Those of your kind are beyond saving. I can only send them to their eternal rest, to stop the ferns from harming them any longer. Is that alright?"

Knicks tilted his head in confusion: "Why are you asking me? I'm just a tree. Have you ever seen a tree that can talk?"

Wang Bubu:...

"So you've already fallen for it? Blind cat, try to dispel it."

"Yes, my lord." Blind Cat raised his staff and smacked Nix on the forehead, then casually cast a dispel spell.

Knicks shuddered, his eyes suddenly clearing: "Ah! My lord! What just happened to me?"

"It's nothing." Wang Bufu shook his head and said, "There aren't any threatening troops on the outer perimeter. In a moment, just listen to my instructions and start clearing them out."

"Nicks, call all your people over; their special skills will come in very handy."

"Yes, sir!" Nixon immediately perked up. His time to prove himself had come!
Without hesitation, Wang Bufu instructed the Miasma Clan members on tactics as soon as they arrived at the border. Once the tactics were explained, they immediately entered the heart of the wetlands and charged straight at the Bone Mound.

As soon as they stepped into the heart of the wetlands, the ground trembled violently, and hundreds of parasites wrapped in fluorescent fern leaves burst forth from the soil. Their shriveled bodies exuded a viscous mist of spores from between the fern leaves, and the air was instantly filled with a sweet, rotten smell.

"Cover your mouth and nose! The beetle-men are attacking!"

At Wang Bufu's command, Nix's six chelicerae began to swing rapidly, and indigo miasma surged out from the gaps in its carapace, colliding with the spore mist to create dazzling fluorescent sparks. The beetle people also spared no expense in releasing the miasma within their bodies, fully opening the miasma barrier.

Blind Cat raised his staff and used healing energy to revive the beetle-man whose health had plummeted to rock bottom.

The hallucinogenic gases emitted by the fern marrow parasite were neutralized by the miasma of the beetle-men, turning into fine powder that fell down in a flurry.

"Wind Blade, cut the core!" Wang Bufu gave the order again.

Tina, accompanied by the Whirlwind Eagle, soared into the sky, its emerald feathers tracing sharp arcs through the miasma. Hundreds of harpies' wings trembled in unison, the gale condensing into hundreds of translucent wind blades that rained down like a storm.

The spore dust in the air was blown away by the wind blades, and the chest cavities of the parasites were precisely pierced by the wind blades! The core of the vine broke, and the fluorescent fern leaves withered suddenly after a tremor, collapsing into ashes along with the spore mist within a five-meter radius.

Sizzle... The sound of numerous plastic bags rubbing together echoed in the mud, and beneath the swamp, more parasites were preparing to revive.

"Blind cat, freeze the roots, don't let them get up!"

Blind Cat gripped Frostheart and slammed his bone staff heavily into the swamp, causing frost to spread rapidly along the roots beneath the parasite's feet.

The fern tentacles that should have emerged from the swamp were instantly frozen into stiff icicles, and dozens of parasites staggered and fell to the ground due to the loss of energy supply.

"Your turn, Shell Armor." Wang Bufu looked at the village prodigy beside him. His compound eyes trembled, and he excitedly replied, "I guarantee I'll complete the mission, my lord!"

Suddenly, the serrated totem on the back of the shell exploded with a loud bang. He plunged the poisonous stinger into the mud, and the parasite hiding under the mud was immediately marked by the totem, which lit up with a scarlet spot.

The banshees immediately changed direction with their second wave of wind blades, shredding the parasites lurking underground into dust.

"My lord, look! The parasites in the distance are sacrificing their own kind!"

Blind Cat's telepathic message exploded in Wang Bufu's mind. Wang Bufu immediately looked over and saw some of the surviving parasites suddenly lunging at their withered companions. The glowing fern leaves pierced the corpses' chest cavities, devouring the remaining vine cores. With each core consumed, the fern leaves on the surviving parasites thickened, violently spewing out hallucinogenic spores. The concentration of these hallucinogenic spores was even beginning to break through the miasma barrier!
"The monsters' old tricks are nothing new. Tina, blow them away for me."

Wang Bufu pointed to the battlefield, and Tina immediately led the team to turn around. They accumulated wind blades by slapping each other, and shot them out the moment they took shape!
The high-frequency vibrating wind blades blew the spore mist away from the battlefield, and Hera took the opportunity to perform a war dance, leading the Banshee Legion in a swooping attack. The invisible storm transformed into a spiral drill, piercing through the enhanced parasite cluster.

The cavemen beneath the ice layer exerted their power simultaneously. Amidst the deafening roar of the frozen soil cracking, hundreds of parasites and their vine cores were hurled into the air by the cavemen, turning into swirling fluorescent dust under the strangulation of wind blades and miasma.

As the swamp returned to its deathly stillness, Wang Bufu's military boots stepped onto the first calcified bone in the mound of decaying bones. He put on gloves, bent down, and picked up a smoldering fluorescent fern leaf; the dark purple sap flowing from its veins was slowly fading.

Unlike true monsters, monsters created from the corruption of living beings do not yield any loot upon death. Their corpses, contaminated by chaos, are not only useless but must also be properly disposed of, otherwise they will become sources of contamination themselves.

“This is just an appetizer.” Wang Bufu crushed the leaves with his foot, his gaze falling on the writhing shadows of thorns deep within the mound of decaying bones.

"Tell the entire army to advance to the depths of Bone Mound within three hours—we must burn this filthy land clean before the next Blood Moon."

"Yes! Lord Lord!"

Wang Bufu fought with great patience. He had the blind cat continuously lay down ice, gradually penetrating from the outside.

At first everything went smoothly until they approached the core area of ​​the Bone Mound, where a large amount of dark purple pollen suddenly gushed out from the ground.

The ice surface emitted a teeth-grinding hissing sound as it was corroded by the dark purple pollen, and the once crystal-clear ice layer was now covered with honeycomb-like holes.

Seven thorny humanoid figures, each three meters tall, emerged from the melting ice hole. The dark purple petals blooming on their heads suddenly contracted violently, spraying out a rain of pollen that smelled sweet and pungent like humus.

Wang Bufu glanced at them; these were fern marrow mutants (ordinary level 3) stronger than the parasites.
